Chapter 1
Dawson Leery stepped out of his Jeep on the campus of Metropolis U. He knew this was the last place people would look for him. The only one who might find him would be Joey. Maybe by then he would be able to be in the same room as her and not feel guilty. As he looked around he saw a brunette girl who was walking with a talk guy. She turned and saw him and smiled, Dawson was lost in that smile.
"Hello." She said.
"Hi, how are you?" Dawson asks.
"I'm good. You new here?" She asks.
"Yeah just got here today." Dawson says.
"Well let me be the first to welcome you. I'm Lana Lang, and he is Clark Kent. We are from Smallville Ks." Lana says.
"I'm Dawson Leery. I'm from Capeside Mass." Dawson says.
"Wow, that's a long way to come to school. Needed a break from the east coast?" Clark asks.
"Dawson forgive Clark , sometimes he forgets not everyone has as good a family life as he does." Lana says with a warn smile.
"What makes you think I don't have a good family life?" Dawson asks.
"You just look like you have a lot on your mind is all, I assumed it was due to your family. I'm sorry if i affended you." Lana says.
"No you didn't, and you are partaualy right." Dawson says.
"Well Dawson welcome to Metropolis. If you ever need to talk, i am a great listener." Clark says.
"Yeah he is that. So am I. Anytime you feel the need to talk just find one of us." Lana says.
"Yeah about that. She isn't as good of a listener as she say. So i would be careful if i was you." Clark says, then recieves a slap from Lana.
"Hey now! I have helped you out a lot haven't I?" She asks with a big smile on her face.
"Yeah well find me some time Dawson and i will tell you all about how she helped me out back in Smallville." Clark laughs.
"Hey i did." She says.
"Yep she helped me get shot at, almost blown up. Wouldn't talk to me because a friend almost got her killed. Yep she has helped me a lot." Clark laughs.
"None of that was really my fault Clark." Lana says a little upset and then walks away.
"Touch subject?" Dawson asks.
"I didn't think so." Clark says with a bewildered look on his face as he watchs Lana walk away.
"Wait Smalleville Ks., isn't that were there were two meteor strikes? One a long time ago, and then one not to long ago?" Dawson asks.
"Yeah, that was us." Clark says.
"I hear tell there was a lot of freaky things gone on around that town. Some blamed the meteors, and some Luthor corp. Was any of it true?" Dawson asks.
"Yeah, both. Which is why Lana is a little touchy about what I said. She has seen her fair share of what we call meteor freaks. Several of them almost killed her. To be honest i don't think much of it was Luthor corps fault, some yes, but not all." Clark says.
"I see why she might be touch about it then." Dawson says walking the way she went.
"Where you going?" Clark asks.
"To see if i can calm a certain girl down. It was fun watching you to banter back and forth. Reminded of better days." Dawson says over his shoulder.
"Good luck with that." Clark says as he truns to walk away.
"Hey Lana wait up!" Dawson yells at her.
She turns around and sees him running her way. She gets a smile on her face, not knowing why, she just does. ' Maybe it is just been so long since a guy has really chased me.' Lana thinks.
"Hey." She says when he catches up.
"Hey. You ok?" Dawson asks.
"Yeah he just drives me crazy sometimes." Lana says.
"Hum." Dawson says.
"Humm? What does that mean." Lana asks.
"Just never peg you two as a couple." Dawson says.
"How did you know that?" Lana asks him.
"You're not the only one good at listening, besides i have another talent as well." Dawson tells her.
"Oh yeah what is that?" Lana asks him.
"I can read people fairly well. Comes from what i love to do, or use to love to do." Dawson says looking down.
"Oh yeah what is that if i can ask."
"I am a film maker, or i want to be one." Dawson says.
"Really. Ever actyally made a movie?" Lana asks.
"Yeah two actually. My first one won the Junior first place award at the Boston film festival. It was call Sea creature from the deep." Dawson says.
"Wow! Sounds like you are a very talented guy." Lana says.
"Some people think i am." He responds back.
"Just some? Sounds like you had a entire city on your side." Lana says.
"I'm not sure about that, but my friends seem to think i am good." Dawson says.
"Well maybe i can watch these movies sometime." Lana says.
"Sure anytime. Look i know it isn't any of my buisness. But maybe you should cut Clark a break, he seemed like he was just joking back there." Dawson says.
"You're right it is none of your buisness." Lana says as she turns to leave.
"Ouch, another touchy subject. Sorry didn't mean to but in. Just thought it might be a way to get you to talk is all." Dawson says as he starts to walk back to his Jeep.
"Dawson wait. Look i am sorry. Clark and me have had a lot of problems over the past couple of years. So i get a little deffensive when it comes to him, and people sticking up for him." Lana says.
"Hey i can understand. I have the same problem with one of my ex.'s as well. I thought we were on the way back to each other. Then it happened, since then it is hard for me to be in the same room as her. I get this guilty feeling deep inside and i can't look at her." Dawson says.
"It? What is it?" Lana asks.
"Umm. Well look i need to go check in at the housing office. Maybe another time." Dawson says.
"Sure. Hey would you like to have dinner with me?" Lana asks.
"Um, sure why not." Dawson says.
"Do you have a cell phone?" She asks.
"Of course." He says as he pulls it out.
"Let me see it." She tells him.
"Ok why?" He asks as he hands it over.
She takes it and smiles as she starts to punch the buttons. She slowly hands it back to him as he look on confussed.
"You'll need my number to call me when you are free." She smile at him.
"Oh yeah guess i will. Want mine?" He asks.
For an answer she just smiles and hands him her phone. He smiles back and puts his number in her phone. He goes to hand her the phone back when their fingers touch the are sparks. He kind of does a double take. She Smiles as the shock of the touch passes through her. ' I never thought I would feel those again.' She thinks. ' I haven't felt those since before my dad died. ' He thinks.
"Well i guess till later then." Dawson says catching his breath first.
"Yeah, umm. Till later." Lana smiles back at him.
