Chloe and Lana met at the Torch early before school started so they could talk, they hoped there absence on the bus wouldn't be noticed.

"It's him, he's back." Lana said throwing herself into a chair next to Chloe, who turned to face Lana.

"You and I both know that it couldn't be him Lana."

"Chloe wake up, 'one down, two to go', I talked to Sherry again yesterday, she said it was his voice."

Chloe sighed, "It's him, I know. It was just hard for me to accept it you know?"

"Yeah." Lana said understanding what Chloe was going through. They were both scared, they had no idea what to do. They didn't like having to keep something from their two friends, but what happened years earlier was something they felt they shouldn't tell them.

"I don't like this at all, keeping this from Pete and Clark, there your best friends Chloe, they have a right to know." Lana said.

"Don't like keeping what from Clark and Pete." Lana and Chloe turned and saw Pete and Clark standing at the doorway.

"Hey, guy's, we didn't hear you come in." Chloe said giving Lana a worried look.

"Is there something you guy's want to talk to us about?" Pete asked as he and Clark grabbed a chair and sat across from Lana and Chloe; Clark across from Lana, and Pete across from Chloe.

"Yeah, actually there is." Lana said, a seroius expression on her face. "Three years ago..."

Smallville, Kansas: 3 Years Earlier:

Lana Lang, Chloe Sullivan, and Sherry Baker, the three most popular girls in school walked down the hall of the junior high school, everyone turning to watch them as they walked. Chloe was the newest to join the trio since she had just moved to Smallville from Metropolis. Her, Lana, and Sherry became friends immediately. Lana's hair was still the same, the only thing different about her was she was a lot shorter, and Chloe's hair was longer and in a pony tail. As for Sherry, her hair color was darker and she had it shoulder length. They stopped at Lana's locker, waiting for her to grab her books, when another student, their grade, approached the three.

"Hey Lana, Chloe, Sherry, you girls are lookin good as always." It was Rob Johnson, wearing all black as usual, his short black hair covered with a black, backwards baseball cap.

"Get lost Rob." Chloe said looking at her two friends and rolling her eyes. Rob was the nerd at the school, he didn't have any friends. It was a known fact he spent all his free time spying on at least one of the three girls. At first they kind of liked it, he would always compliment them and offer to carry their books, but he started getting creepy. He would always follow them around, taking pictures of them. He said they were for the yearbook, but when the yearbooks arrived, there were no pictures he took of them inside. That was one year earlier. Now he was just flat out annoying. Lana would occasionaly smile at him as he passed her in the hall, which probably was the reason he never stopped annoying them, he figured he had a chance with Lana, all because she smiled at him. Chloe and Sherry told Lana to stop, but Lana said she wasn't a very rude person and that smiling back at someone was polite. The girls always questioned Lana's smiling at Rob, but dismissed it as just being polite.

One Friday night when the three were spending the night at Sherry's, Chloe told them she had a plan.

"Hey guy's, I've got an idea. It's brilliant." She told them sitting on the floor, holding onto a pillow, the three sitting in a circle.

"Tell us, tell us!" Lana pleaded, eager to know what Chloe had planned.

"It's brilliant, it involves Rob Johnson. And it's payback time."
