Hi. Thank you very much for the reviews, I really appreciate it. Here's another chapter, this takes place about 15-16 years after the first one which was basically a prologue.

I don't own Superman, that wouldn't end well.

As I said before, English is not my first language, so please, if there are any grammar errors or any other mistakes, feel free to correct me.


Chapter 2 - Math

A 16-year old Clark woke up at the sound of his alarm clock. Groggily, he opened his eyes and checked the time. 6:30. He ran a hand over his face and sighed loudly. Another day at school. 'Learning' another boring stuff he already knows. The only thing he enjoys is probably Math, though it's still too easy for him.

He slowly got out of bed and went downstairs only in his pajamas.

He saw his father sitting at the table, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. When he heard his son coming downstairs, he looked up from the paper and smiled.

"Mornin', son. How'd you sleep?" asked Clark's father, Jonathan.

"Same old, same old.. a few more hours would have been welcomed, though," smiled Clark. Clark was always a sleeper. Although he found out he didn't need much sleep, he still enjoyed it.

Jonathan chuckled and went back to reading his newspaper. Clark noticed his mom wasn't in the kitchen.

"Where's Ma?" asked Clark as he looked around the kitchen.

Jonathan looked from his paper again. "She's doing some chores. I've already finished mine."

Clark nodded and made his way over to the refrigerator. He opened it and took out a bottle of orange juice. He opened it and went to drink it, but just as he was about to do it, his mother came to the kitchen.

"Mornin', honey. We use glasses in this house, you know?" chuckled Martha.

"Right," said Clark as he took a glass from the shelf and poured some juice into it.

When he finished drinking it, he looked at the clock. 7:00. He should probably go to school or he'd have to use his powers to get there. He didn't like using his powers in the public. Chores are one thing, running to school at the speed of sound is another one.

"I better go, don't wanna be late," said Clark as he supersped to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, then to his bedroom where he put some clothes on (jeans and a white t-shirt), took his backpack and ran came downstairs once again.

"16 years and I still can't get used to it," said a chuckling Jonathan while Martha only nodded with a smile.

"I don't think neither of us will ever get used to it. Alright, we'll talk about it after school, love you," said Clark as he opened the door and looked back at his parents.

"Love you too, sweetheart," waved Martha. Jonathan just smiled at him and said, "Love you too, son."

When Clark came to school, he immediately spotted his best friends. Pete Ross, Chloe Sullivan and Lana Lang. Clark had a crush on Lana a few years back, they've even given it a try, but they figured out they were better off as friends. Lana knew about his powers and promised him not to tell anyone.

'It's not my secret to tell, Clark. If you don't want me to tell anyone, I won't tell anyone,' she said. Clark smiled at the memory. Lana's a good person.

He went to his friends, who, when they spotted him, immediately beamed and waved at him.

"Hey, Clark," said Pete.

"Hey, Pete. Chloe, Lana," said Clark as he smiled at them.

"Hey, Clark," said Chloe and Lana at the same time. All of them chuckled, this happens a lot. Chloe and Lana are like sisters. They always have been.

"What's the first period?" asked Lana.

"Math," Clark immediately answered. He really liked Math, though most of the time, he just sat there doing nothing in particular.

"You and your photographic memory…" chuckled Chloe as she shook her head.

They all chuckled as they went to their first period. They came there just in time – the bell rang the moment they entered the classroom. Each took their seats. Clark, as usually, sat in the back, while Lana, Chloe and Pete sat in the front.

The door opened and their teacher, Mrs. Adams, came in with someone in tow.

"Good morning, class. I would like you to introduce our newest student. This is Sarah Wilson. She's just moved here."

Clark took a good look at her. She was beautiful. Light brown hair, beautiful blue eyes, full lips, olive skin and her curves, God, those curves.

'For God's sake, Kent, get a grip. You were not raised this way,' Clark mentally scolded himself.

She was around 5'4. Clark couldn't help but smile. He was like a giant compared to her. Well, actually, he was like a giant compared to almost anyone. At 6'4" and 225 pounds, he was a literal giant. And he was only 16! Safe to say, no one ever tried to bully him. Clark came back to reality when Mrs. Adams spoke again.

"Sarah, honey, find a place to sit, will you?"

"Of course, Mrs. Adams. Thank you," she smiled at her.

'God, that smile,' thought Clark.

He came back to reality once more when she sat next to him. She looked at him and smiled.

"Hi, I'm Sarah.. as you already know."

"Um, yeah, hi. I'm Clark. Clark Kent," said Clark as he smiled at her.

Her smile got wider when she said, "It's nice to meet you."

They didn't have a chance to talk much more, because Mrs. Adams started teaching a new theme, something Clark learned when he was 5. Safe to say, he didn't pay much attention to it. He wondered about his abilities. He had them since he was a child. Why did he have it? What was their source? He gets stronger and faster every day, he feels it. Are strength and speed the only abilities he will have? Will he have some other abilities as well? Again, why did he have them? He wondered for about 20 minutes, until he heard some muffled voice. Well, the voice wasn't muffled, he just ignored it, so it sounded muffled to him.

"..-ent. Mr. Kent. Clark. Clark! CLARK!" he came back to reality once more. He forgot where he was for a second. He looked at Mrs. Adams who looked a bit worriedly at him, but when she saw he was focusing on her again, she smiled at him.

"Clark, can you solve this equation?" she asked.

Clark looked at the board and answered immediately, without thinking.

"274.3879."

She looked at him amazed. She always knew Clark was very smart, but not like this. Even she would have a little problem with solving and equation like this.

Clark looked at his amazed teacher, then around the room. Everyone looked amazed. Including Sarah. It was then he'd realized what had happened.

'Oh my God…'

"Clark, would you come see me after the class?" she asked.

Clark looked at her. He didn't know what to expect, but he figured it wouldn't be something too bad.

"Yeah, sure."

"Alright," she said.

Right then, the bell rang again. Clark gathered up his things and got out of the room, but not before he looked at Sarah Wilson once again.

'Oh, man.. I'm screwed.'


So, this is the end of the 2nd chapter. I would like if you would review this chapter as well.
