The next morning Pete and Chloe were waiting together at the bus stop when Haley walked up, smiling at them. She had spent the entire morning trying to figure out what to wear, she knew first impressions are always important. She had finally decided on a knee high denim skirt with a small blue rhinestone belt and a short sleeveless blue shirt that had a diamond looking pattern to it. She had styled her hair in another ponytail. She thought it looked nice like that. Haley also had on new black boots. (as if she needed to be taller)

As she approached the two friends she asked, "So where's Clark?"

"Late, as usual." Chloe sighed. "He probably won't make it."

"I bet he will." Pete contradicted.

"Five bucks says he won't make it."

"You're on!"

"You guys are crazy." Haley smiled.



At the same time at the Kent house, Martha and Jonathan were a little nervous about Clark using his powers in front of the new neighbor's house yesterday.

"And you're SURE nobody saw you son?" Jonathan asked.

"Yes dad, positive." Clark answered. He was used to this but it kind of annoyed him.

"I think it'll be fine." Clark's mother defended him.

"OK, well you better hurry, or your going to miss your bus again." Martha advised

"Too late." Jonathan said, watching the bus pull away, heading toward Smallville High School.

"No problem, I won't be late." Clark said giving his mischievous smile as he rushed out the door, disappearing out of sight.



"Five bucks to me." Chloe taunted to Pete as they stepped off the bus.

Just as they were walking up the steps, they saw Clark walking towards them.

"How did you go that?" Haley joked and laughed

"I uh, got a ride." Clark answered.

"Really, I don't se your dad's truck." Chloe observed,

"Yeah well… we better get to class." Clark remarked and then walked on.



As it turns out, Haley was I all Clarks same classes, even though she was 16, the school systems were different and missed a lot of stuff she would need to know to move onto a higher grade. But she didn't mind, she got to see Clark a lot. Clark also was happy. He really liked Haley.

As the four of them walked down the hallway, Haley attracted a lot of stares. She was beautiful. Everyone always told her so. She walked with a certain confidence and grace, and her bright green eyes stood out like the meteor rocks in a black soil. This and her flaming red hair and freckled face made her stand out very easily. But she liked it that way.

Soon the four were joined by another girl with long, straight auburn hair and dark eyes. As soon as Chloe and Pete saw her they greeted her and dismissed themselves, but Haley who was afraid to leave Clark stayed. He stopped in his tracks when he saw her.

"Hi Clark." The girl smiled at him, then turned to look at the unfamiliar girl standing beside Clark.

Haley made a small coughing noise with her throat and Clark snapped out of his stare.

"Hi Lana, this is Haley Carr, she just moved in near me, she's from Connecticut. Haley, this is Lana Lang." Clark explained.

"Nice to meet you." Lana said a big grin across her face.

"Likewise." Haley replied, smiling too.

It's so obvious that Clark like's her. Haley automatically became slightly jealous of Lana, but she seemed very nice, and Haley had just moved in and didn't want to mess anything up between anyone.

"So what's up?" Clark asked Lana

"Oh nothing much, I'm meeting Whitney after school to help him with his Lit. paper." Lana replied

From the way Clark reacted, Whitney was obviously this girls boyfriend. Harsh, Haley thought.

"Well I better get to class." Lana said.

"Yeah, us too." Clark told her.

Clark and Haley said goodbye to Lana and went to their class.



"So how was your first day at school honey?" Lori Carr asked her daughter as she threw her backpack down on the kitchen floor as she headed to the refrigerator to get some milk.

"Good, actually, great." Haley explained, pouring herself a glass.

"I'm so glad to hear that." Lori said, a big smile across her face. She went over and gave Haley a kiss on the forehead.

"Ma…" Haley laughed.

Her mother was very worried about her fitting in and all.

"But I've got a ton of homework to do, and I'm suppose to be meeting some new friends at the Beanery later, can I go, PLEASE!" Haley begged.

Lori Carr smiled "If your homework is done, then you may go."

"YES! Thanks mom, you're the greatest!" Haley shouted as she dashed up the stairs to her room with her backpack slung over her shoulder.

When Haley had finished her homework, she was on her way walking to the Beanery, and conveniently, she had to walk by Clark's house to get there.

Since she was there, she figured she may as well drop by to see if Clark wanted to go as well.

She saw Mr. Kent out in the front of the house and her told her that Clark was in the barn and he would bring him out. When Mr. Kent was in the barn, she decided to walk around a bit. She went around the side of the house and saw the barn. It was so big, she thought. She peered in and saw Mr. Kent talking to Clark. This would not have been strange if Clark was not caring bails of hay, 20 bails of hay! Haley pressed herself around the side of the barn and ran back to the fence before anyone could notice her.

What had she just seen? Lifting that much hay was NOT possible by any standards. Those things weighed pounds each, and 20 of them? No way, this was really weird. Then she thought back to the other day when he just disappeared. She also remembered what Chloe had said about the meteor rocks and weird stuff.

Haley knew she wasn't exactly 'normal' either, but this was really weird. Could some how the meteors and Clark be tied together? Clark came out a minute later and together they went to the Beanery. She decided not to tell anyone about what she had seen, just like Clark hadn't told anyone about when he had seen Haley with the clothes.

They both wanted to find out what was going on with the other, and they would, very soon.
