Part 6
An hour or two later.
Clark and Chloe were having a great time dancing. There was no sign of Pete and his date but that didn't seem to bother the two friends much. They were having two much fun to worry about there wayward friend.
Clark was trying to show Chloe how good of a dancer he was. They had danced to every song so far. ***I am so glad Chloe agreed to come with me. This is so nice.*** thought Clark as he pulled Chloe into his arms again as another slow song came on.
Chloe's thoughts were also on how nice this was.
"Clark..." Chloe started to say but before she could say anything further she was interrupted by Lana and Whitney yelling at each other across the room.
Clark could see that the two of them were arguing about something important but he was a little too far away to hear what they were fighting about.
They watched as all of a sudden Lana reached up and slapped Whitney hard across the face. The room stood in total silence as Lana turned away from her boyfriend and left the dance crying.
"Clark what was that about?" whispered Chloe as she watched the drama unfold before her.
"I don't know but I think we should find out. Come on lets go and see if Lana needs anything." said Clark as he took Chloe's hand and pulled her behind him.
Chloe was having a hard time trying to stay beside Clark as he looked for Lana. ***My dress was defiantly not made for this kind of abuse***, thought Chloe as she pulled up the lenght of her dress to keep up with Clark.
"Chloe ,do you see her ?" asked Clark as he stopped and looked as down the hallway outside of the gym.Lana was no where to be seen.
"No , but let me check the washroom. You stay out here and I'll see if she is inside." stated Chloe as she walked into the women's bathroom leaving Clark standing outside by himself.
Inside the Ladies washroom Chloe could hear someone crying.
"Lana is that you?" asked Chloe as she moved closer to the sound.
" Go away and leave me alone." came the muffled reply.
"You know that isn't going to happen. You might as well come out of there and we'll go some where and talk." said Chloe as she grabbed some paper towel and wet it from the sink. *** Lana was going to need it for her eyes if she was crying that hard***,thought Chloe.
Just then the bathroom stall opened and Chloe came face to face with a very upset Lana Lang.
"Lana what happened? Are you ok?" asked Chloe as she handed the wet paper towel to the other girl.
"I don't know..." said Lana " one minute everything was fine and the next he was accusing me of flirting with all the other guys at the dance. I told him that wasn't true and he called me a slut. That's when I hit him..." said Lana as she broke down crying again.
Chloe walked over to Lana and hugged the girl. "Come on. Clark is waiting out side the door. We'll take you home if you want."
After Lana dried her face and composed herself she walked out of the bathroom with Chloe.
"Are you all right Lana ?" asked Clark as he rushed to her side. worry was etched across his face.
"I told Lana we would take her home Clark." said Chloe.
"Of course we'll take you home Lana." said Clark. "We're parked right out front."
Chloe stood to one side of Lana and Clark stood on the other as they rounded the corner to head out the door. Unfortunately Whitney and some of his football friends were blocking the front doors.
"Well look at this boys," said Whitney as he looked down the hall at the stunned Clark, Chloe and Lana."I was right when I said she would head straight for Kent."
"Great. " whispered Chloe to Clark. " How are we going to get by them?"
"I don't know Chloe. Try and help me think of something."whispered Clark.
