Chapter 1: The new kid
Well it's been a month after that whole deal in Gotham and things are going great. Lois and I are working well together with the exception of having a long distance relationship. But she just keeps telling me, "You'll be in college next year Smallville and I practically visit like every weekend". It's true she does but still who knows if we'll be in the same college (This was written before Lois moved in with the Kents that's why she is still in college). Get a hold of yourself Kent everything is going to be fine. Anyway besides me and Lois, Bart and Chloe are still together and he's living with us now. He may still be his usual cocky self but at least he's not stealing as much like he used to. School is also back in session from the break and I was walking down the halls of Smallville when I bumped into Lana Lang. She's the girl I used to like but she was really obsessed about being and honest and you know me with honesty and we just didn't work out.
"Sorry Lana I didn't see you there", I said
"It's not your fault Clark I was just in my own world" As usual. That's another reason why Lana and me didn't work out everything was about her.
"So Clark I'm glad you finally decided to move on."
"Yeah I guess you heard about me and Lois."
"Yeah Chloe told me." I looked at my watch and realized I was running late I was supposed to meet Chloe at the Torch ten minutes ago.
"Lana I got to go."
"As usual. Bye Clark."
"Bye Lana." Man can at least one of our conversations not end awkwardly. Then again I just realized how annoying she can be. Yeah going out with Lois has made me more sarcastic with people and see the real them. I walked into the torch office. Chloe was talking to some kid. He looked like a freshman. I've never saw him before. He and Chloe were talking and didn't notice me walk in. I cough suggestively and Chloe turned and jumped.
"Clark, finally decided to show up", said Chloe.
"Sorry Chloe I missed the bus as usual and then I bumped into Lana."
"You know Clark you think you would be able to get to school on time with your-
But before she could finish I gave her a stern look. Chloe almost slipped up my secret. I can understand thou she only learned about it a month ago.
"So anyway Clark can you do me a favor"?
"Yeah shoot."
"I got a report and an article to finish but now I also have a freshman buddy I have to show around. Why did I sign up for it? Why? So anyway you think you can show him around"?
"Sure. Come on", I said pointing to the kid.
We walked outside the office and around the school.
"I guess we'll go to my first period".
"That's cool. But before you do that you think you can tell me your name", he asked
"Wow I completely forgot about that. My name is Clark Kent", I said as I extended my hand. He shook it and answered, "Jimmy Olsen."
