Author's Note: Okay, so the powers that Gemini has, will be kind of "cheesy"…but I'm not the one who came up with it! My sister did! Blame her! So, if you haven't exactly figured out what it is, I won't ruin it for you. I suppose. All I can think about now is closing out the scene…which I didn't do free hand…I hate it when I type part of it, and then write more, and then type, and then write…::sighs:; Okay! So, We've established that Raven like's Clark…:::spooky noises:: ooooh!!!

Chapter Eight.

The next day at school, Clark seemed a little less edgy, Chloe decided, sitting in the noisy study hall they shared together. She didn't know what had happened between him, and Lex, but whatever it was, it must have been settled.

"What are you staring at?" Clark asked.

"Nothing." Chloe shrugged, "You seem…happier today I guess. Less agitated."

"Oh well thanks." Clark rolled his eyes sarcastically.

"What happened between you and Lex?"

Clark stared down for a moment at his text book, "We got into a fight, that's all." He wasn't about to tell her why-

"What was it about?"

Clark mentally cursed, "Something stupid. We don't even remember." He shrugged, hoping she'd stop acting like some kind of harpy and leave him alone.

Chloe looked at him, criticizing him with her eyes. Clark turned away, and went back to his work. This proved quite difficult, since he could feel several pairs of eyes on him. He rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably.



Later that afternoon, Clark was surprised to see Lex's car parked outside of the school. Attentively he walked out to him.

"Hey." He squatted down by the door.

"Hello Clark." Lex stared ahead at the large brick building in front of them before turning to him, "Do you have some time?"

"Um, yea I just got out." He nodded.

"Would you like to go for a drive?"

"Sure…"

"Get in." Lex started the car.

As he pulled out of the school parking lot, neither of them saw Raven standing in the doorway.

"I asked you to come with me, so we could talk." Lex used only one hand on the steering wheel.

"We talked last night, on the phone."

"No. Last night on the phone was the two of us yelling at each other." Lex glanced over momentarily.

Clark sighed, knowing he was right, "I know."

"Okay, I'm sorry. It was stupid of me to mention LuthorCorp, and your age. None of that should matter." Lex pulled over to the side of the road, and shutting off the engine.

"I know, but I shouldn't have acted the way I did." Clark's voice was hushed.

"I just don't like having you mad at me." Lex ran his hands over the steering wheel.

Clark was quiet while going over what Lex was saying, "Let's just forget about it."

"Okay." Lex nodded.

"Um…it's getting kind of late…Do you think we could-"

"Oh! Of course!" Lex shook his head, as if he had forgotten where he was.

The ride back to the school was quiet. Lex was concentrating on the road, while Clark was going over their conversation in his head.

"There you go." Lex pulled up next to Clark's truck.

Clark put his hand on the door handle, but quickly leaned over and kissed Lex's cheek, finding it awkward to try and kiss him on the lips. Shyly he opened the door, and stepped out.

"Wait…what was that?" Lex tried to grab his shirt before he shut the door.

"Nothing." Clark replied, sitting on the edge of the seat.

Lex was quiet for a moment, "I think I get what your doing." He leaned over, and kissed the younger man softly.

Clark smiled, putting his hands up around Lex's neck, tilting his face up by putting his thumbs under his chin.

"Ah…Clark? This isn't exactly the most comfortable place to be doing this." Lex smiled, as he pulled away.

"We could always go to the back of the truck." Clark hinted.

"And get into whatever the hell it is you have spilled back there? I don't think so."

"I have to get home anyway." Clark began to slop from the car, but once again Lex stopped him.

"Wait!" Lex tugged on his shirt, "Do you want to get together this weekend?"

"Sure. Call me, or something." Once again, Clark stood and shut the door with a swift slam.
