Part 2
Smallville High
Clark stood with his eyes locked on Lana while he spoke.
"Lana, If...if you're not doing anything two weeks from now," Clark said. "Well you see I've got these tickets to...to a concert."
Lana smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her head.
"And I was wondering if perhaps, well this is if you don't have any to do, would you be willing to go?" Clark asked. "With me of course?"
"Why yes Clark," Pete said. "And then afterwards we can go make out underneath the stars."
"Shut up," Clark said.
"But I've wanted you for so long," Pete said trying to wrap his arms around Clark.
"Knock it off," Clark said shoving him away.
Clark turned his gaze back to Lana across the courtyard of the high school. He watched as she leaned in and hugged Whitney. He felt his heart drop in his chest and quickly turned his attention back to Pete standing next to him.
"Man will you just go on over there and ask her," Pete said. "It's not that hard."
"Like you would know," Clark said.
"Watch," Pete said.
Clark watched as Pete turned to his left and tapped a redhead by the name of Cheryl on the shoulder. Cheryl turned around and smiled brightly at Pete.
"Hey Cheryl," Pete called. "Wanna kick it this saturday?"
"Sure," Cheryl said.
"Alright then I'll pick you up around six?" Pete asked.
"Okay," Cheryl agreed before walking away.
"You see," Pete said. "Now the worst she could have done was said no."
"That's what I'm afraid of," Clark said.
"That Lana will turn you down?" Pete asked skeptically.
Clark nodded.
"Man you've got it bad," Pete said.
"You have no idea," Clark muttered.
"Hey there," Chloe said from behind Clark and Pete, surprising the two.
"Geez make some noise why don't you," Pete said startled. "We have definitely got to put a bell on you or something.
Chloe playfully smacked Pete on the shoulder.
"So what are you two talking about," Chloe said.
"Check this out," Pete said. "Clark here has got tickets to Santana concert in Metropolis, courtesy of Lex Luthor. It's the perfect opportunity for Clark to ask Lana out, unfortunately Clark can't bring himself to go ask her."
"YOU'VE GOT TICKETS TO THE SANTANA CONCERT?" Chloe shouted in disbelief.
Suddenly the entire student body of Smallville High stopped dead in their tracks over the revelation that Clark Kent had tickets to a sold out show.
"I'll catch you guys later," Pete said as he walked away.
"Yeah sure," Clark said as he walked quickly in the opposite direction with Chloe close behind him.
"So are you gonna ask Lana out?" Chloe asked.
"I don't know," Clark tried to speak.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Chloe asked. "What's there not to know? It's either yes or no."
"It's not that easy alright," Clark said. "I mean what if I do ask her and she says no. Not only would I have made a fool of myself but I'll also have ruined any chance of Lana actually liking me."
"Okay now how do you figure that?" Chloe asked. "I mean what if it peaks Lana's interest. Gets her to notice you?"
Clark stopped at the end of the hall where he noticed a trash can nearby. Clark reached into his pocket and removed the tickets, he took one last look at the tickets before tossing them into the trash can.
"I guess I'll never know," Clark said before leaving.
Chloe watched with a look of sadness as Clark walked away.
