Chapter 10:
Rivals
Lara finished doing her work and sat back in her chair looking at the clock waiting for the class to end so that she could go meet Clark in third period. Lana finished too and wrote Lara a note and handed it to her.
Just to warn you Clark does keep a lot of secrets. He doesn't even tell his friends about them.
Lara just shook her head laughing a bit and wrote back,
Clark told me everything. He trusts me.
Lana read it and crumpled it up and threw it away as she walked out of the classroom because the bell had rung. Lara sat up and laughed shaking her head. She walked out and went to third period. She saw Lana grab Clarks arm and was talking to him. She walked over to them and was smiling, "Hey baby." She smiled and hugged him looking at Lana. "What are you too talking about?"
Clark looked at her, "Lara did you threaten Lana?" She looked at Lana then at Clark, "No, why would I do that, Lana why would you say such a thing?" Lana looked at her mad and then shook her head, "Don't lie, we both know what you told me in class."
Lara shook her head and started to make fake tears in her eyes. "I can't believe you would tell such a lie Lana." Clark looked at Lara as she started to walk away and enter third period. Clark started to go after her and Lana grabbed his arm, "Clark she did." He looked at her and shook his head, "Why would she lie to me?" She let go of his arm and walked to class.
Clark walked in class and saw Lara wiping away her tears sitting at her desk. He sat next to her, "I'm sorry, I think Lana is just jealous." She nodded, "I think she is too but you know I wouldn't do anything like that. I know she's your friend Clark."
Clark nodded and turned to pay attention as the class started. Lara smiled, she had plans for Lana and knew that Clark would believe her over Lana.
As soon as the class ended, she and Clark went outside for lunch and he asked her about what she saw in first period, "What do you mean you saw the creature? Is it here then?" She shrugged sitting down on a bench, "I'm not sure, I mean, maybe….or… who knows. I saw it Clark it was standing behind a tree and looked straight at me." He nodded, "Okay, we'll try and look for it later. Maybe it's looking for you."
She held his hand and sighed, "I'm just scared that it will get me." He held her small hand in his, "Don't worry, I won't let it get you." She looked at him, "Last time someone told me something like that I lost them. I don't want to lose you Clark."
