***7th grade, Valentines Day***
Children scurried all over the room, giving out valentines to everybody. Candy circulated like currency in the chaotic room. Chloe Sullivan sat with her two best friends Clark and Pete ate candy bars. Chloe didn't know why but she was very excited about receiving a valentine from her friend Clark. Why? She didn't exactly know, they were just friends anyway. It wasn't like the valentines that Lana and Whittney gave to each other.
"Ok, guys, enough waiting. Give me my valentines," the impatient female pre-teen demanded.
"All right, but I pretty much just got both of you candy bars," her friend Pete added. He handed each of his best friends a jumbo sized Butterfinger.
"Your turn Clark."
"Ok. Pete, I just got you a bag of candy. Chloe, I made this in art class," Clark handed out his gifts. A hint of redness almost showed when giving the giant card to Chloe.
"Well here you are guys," Chloe leaned over and kissed each of them on the cheek. Both her friends stared in awe. Clark went completely red. "Oh come on guys, it wasn't that bad. At least this way you got your first kiss from someone you know and not on doing a dare on the bus."
School ended and everyone went their separate ways to enjoy the long weekend ahead. Chloe headed to her father's car still thinking about her Valentine's Day gift. She still felt tingly from kissing Clark. There's no way she liked Clark. did she? No, of course not. Clark was just s friend, but then why did she secretly want to kiss him on the lips? Lost in thought, Chloe didn't notice her classmate skipping toward her with a Polaroid picture held high.
"Chloe wait," a perky girl of the Chloe's same age yelled.
"Oh, hi Lana. What's up?"
"I had my camera today in class and I was taking pictures. I thought you should have this one," the girl said as she handed the picture over.
Chloe went red when she looked at the picture only to see her kissing a red faced Clark on the cheek. "You saw that?"
"Don't worry, I know it was just because you two are friends," Lana assured. "Well, see you on Monday."
Chloe stared in awe at the picture in her hand. Not noticing the look her father had on his face as he peered over her shoulder. "What's this, you have a crush on Clark now?" her father jokingly asked.
"No dad, he's just a friend," she said, not truly believing herself.
