Chapter 1: The Archie Complex
Chloe watched as Clark laughed nervously and gazed lovingly at Lana. "I gonna be sick," she thought. Clark had left her at their table over fifteen minutes ago to get refills and had conveniently forgotten about the coffee deprived blonde he left at the table while he stood entranced in the perfection of the woman of his dreams. "What does she have that I don't?" Chloe wondered for the millionth time. "Yeah so she's gorgeous and sweet and perfect and always in need of a certain hunky farm boy to come and to her rescue. She's always the damn damsel in distress and I'm always the pathetic sidekick. She's always on his mind and I'm stuck being the damn afterthought. Why does he want her instead of me?" Chloe started to pack up her things. Self-pity wasn't her style and being here only reminded her of her misery. Then suddenly, it hit her, the answer to her silent question. "Holy shit I'm Betty!" she said aloud causing a few of the Talon's customers to look at her like she was a lunatic. She was barely aware of their amused looks she didn't have anytime to be embarrassed now she was on the verge of a break through. "That's it." She thought. "Its the classic Archie complex. Lana is Veronica- mysterious, unavailable and always in need of a big, strong man to save her and I'm Betty safe, dependable, always there when you need her. If I want Clark's attention all I need to do is be a little more like Veronica. Sure, it's a long shot but hell, I've tried everything else. They'll be no more returning all his calls, spending countless hours researching every little thing for him, no more being at his beck and call without so much as a thank you. From now on Chloe Sullivan is a busy woman, a woman of mystery and intrigue but most importantly a woman with a plan." As she prepared to leave she contemplated saying goodbye to Clark. Then with a mischievous smile she spun on her heel and sauntered out of the Talon. "Why bother saying goodbye," she thought, "Veronica wouldn't."
