Finding Truth

Chapter 3, Embarrassing

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After Lana's encounter with the truth that Chloe so bluntly explained to her she couldn't think of anything else. She could however feel eyes watching her everywhere. Trying to ignore it is harder then is sounds. She was practically beating her brain to remember what had happened to her on that day when everything went blank. Through all of first, second, third, and fourth period, she hadn't been paying attention to anything. Lunch was just around the corner and she didn't know what she was going to do with herself. She didn't want to talk to Clark or Whitney. Everyone seemed to laughing at her in his or her own way. She felt so alone.

The bell went off over head. Everyone was filling out of the classroom trying to get to lunch. Lana walked out of the class slowly. Chloe was waiting for her with Pete on her shoulder.

"Hey!" They both greeted her with happy smiles.

Lana now feeling relieved came out of the doorway.

"Hi guys…"

"Lana!" Pete started, "What to eat lunch with us?" He asked.

Now with a smile of her own she said, "sure I would love to!"

"Great!" Chloe and Pete said together.

They got their food and sat down on a blue lunch table all together.

"Hey you guys where is Clark?" Lana had to ask.

Chloe put down her fork and looked at Pete in concern.

"You know what, I don't remember seeing him today." Pete said in surprise.

"He's not at school?" Lana asked.

"I guess not." Chloe finished off for Pete.

The lunch was a success. Lana felt a lot better about everything. She seemed happy and that is what Pete and Chloe wanted exactly. They were talking and enjoying each other's company. Maybe they spoke too soon.

When Lana got up to throw her lunch away she got another flash. A sharp pain was coming towards her forehead. She dropped her lunch all over the floor and got the attention of all the people in the cafeteria. She started to remember more of her conversation with Clark.

*************

Clark: "Look, something happened to you I just don't know what it is."

Lana: "Its called self confidence. For the first time I'm not repressing my feelings. I'm free…"

Clark: "No you're not."

Lana: "You should talk. You had me in the pool and you didn't take your chance. I see the way you look at me why don't you just tell me how you feel?"

Clark: "Lana your sick I need to get you to a hospital."

Lana: "Don't avoid the question Clark."

*************

Coming out of the almost trans. like state, she saw all eyes on her. People started to laugh and Chloe and Pete came to her aid. Before they could reach her Lana ran out of the cafeteria. Pete tried to chase her down the hall, but didn't see where she turned…
