You Came
Chapter 1- Announcement
Clark took a deep breath, standing outside of the front office of Smallville High. His clenched fists had wrinkled his sheet of paper. With a quick look through the door to assess the situation he walked into the office.
"Hey, Clark. You really doing this?" Cole asked, eyeing Clark's nervous appearance.
Clark smiled wanly. "I guess."
Cayla laughed from beside Cole. "I think it's very romantic, Clark. Whoever she is would be a fool not to do it."
"Thanks, Cayla," Clark said, his smile growing. He looked down at his hands and his eyes got wide.
"Show time, Clark," Mary said with a reassuring smile. She stepped up to the intercom system and flipped a switch. "Teachers and students, please excuse the interruption."
"The following announcement is from Clark Kent," Cole finished, gesturing for Clark to move forward.
Cayla stepped closer to Clark. "You can do it," she whispered. Mary nodded, touching Clark's arm.
"There's a certain someone that I want to tell something to. I'm not going to say your name, but hopefully you know who you are," Clark went on, shoving the paper in his pocket. "I know that I've screwed up in the past. You give and all I've ever done was take advantage of that. First and foremost I want to say how incredibly sorry I am. I've almost lost you on more than one occasion and it's scared the hell out of me. Second, I want to say what I've been waiting so long to tell you. I love you. It's taken a while for me to get my feelings worked out, but I love you. Now I feel like I can finally tell you that. So, if you feel the same way, here's what I want you to do. The homecoming dance is tomorrow. I'll be on the stage before the dance. If you decide to get a fresh start and let me make it up to you then meet me there. If you don't show up I'll know that you don't feel the same way."
Clark stepped back a step and Cayla moved forward. "That's all for the announcements. Teachers, thank you for letting us interrupt. Have a great day!"
