Chapter 2, The Painful Truth

Lana walked down the halls in her normal cute clothes. As she walked by, people stared in her direction. This kind of thing normally happened to her, but this time it felt different. She knew she probably did weird things that she didn't remember, but were they that bad? She saw Whitney by the locker. She walked towards him quickly.
"Hey Whitney."
"Hi…"
"Listen… I just want you to remember something for me ok?" Whitney said while putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Ok?" she said acridly.
"You're going to be hearing many things and I just want you to forget them all… Don't listen to what other people are saying." Whitney said in a whisper.
"Why? What are they saying?" Lana asked almost frightened.
"Just listen to me alright!" Whitney said agitated.
"You listen! I'm not your property!" Lana said, a little louder then she wanted too. Looking down in shock she said to herself. "Where did that come from?"
"Ok… Ok… Never mind…" Whitney said as he walked backward towards his class leaving Lana alone by the wall.
Chloe was headed in her direction. She was the only person with a friendly face she saw all that morning. Holding her books close to her chest she leaned against the wall hoping Chloe would come to her as a friend.
"Hey! What's up with the sad expression?" Chloe said.
"Everyone is acting weird towards me even Whitney?"
Chloe grabbed her arm lightly pulling her into a walk down the hall.
"Listen." Chloe began. "You, you, don't need to worry about them."
"Tell me Chloe… What did I do? I don't remember anything!" Lana said in need.
Chloe obviously feeling sorry for her newly close friends. She walked her into the editing room.
"Lana… well, you had a change of heart I guess you could say," Chloe said vaguely.
"Could you elaborate please?" Lana asked.
"Plain and simple! You dumped Whitney in the hall…" Chloe said simply.
Lana looking shocked still gazing at Chloe.
"What? No… Whitney would have told me."
"I guess not… He didn't did he?" Chloe said not shocked at all. "Do you remember anything?"
Lana looked down at the floor thinking.
"I don't know. I had some flashes, but I just thought I was hallucinating. The only thing I can remember is a little conversation Clark and I had somewhere." Lana confessed.
"Don't tell that to your counselor what ever you do…" Chloe said with a friendly smile, trying to break the tension.
"Lana… We're friends aren't we?" Chloe asked.
Lana looked up at Chloe in surprise of the question. "Why, yes we are! Of course."
"Ok… Good… Well then I guess I have to tell you something. Um… well how do I say this?" Chloe began.
"Just tell me!" Lana demanded.
"Don't freak…" Chloe said. "You stripped in front of Clark while by the pool." She said while cleared her throat.
Lana was not saying anything, but her facial expression said a thousand words.
"Hey! You weren't naked! That's always plus!" Chloe said, trying to get a rise out of Lana.
"Lana?" Chloe asked while looking for any sign of human life.
Slowly Lana said some words. "I…um… got to go…"
"Lana, I'm sorry!" Chloe said regrettably.
"How do other people know about this?" Lana asked very curious.
"The only way I know is through Clark. I don't think anyone else knows." Chloe said concerned of her reaction. "Is that the conversation that you're talking about?" Chloe asked.
"No." Lana said with out an expression. "What I remember is talking to Clark in a field? Something about Lex's car?"
"Um… Don't know sorry," Chloe said.
The bell rang off on the hallway walls. It was time for them to get to class.
"Lana do you want me to walk you to your classroom?" She asked.
"No… I'm good thank." Lana said while finally smiling up at Chloe.
"Ok… I'll see you later then!"
"Yeah!" Lana smiled again.
