All Mixed Up
Review Please! I need to know what you think if I'm to write more! (
Yuogi sat in her chair at the beanery grinning evilly. Clark, Xod and Lex walked in but before they could sit down, Martha Kent came over dragging Amelia Kent.
"Oh Clark." She said sweetly. "Amelia is dying to stay here but I've got to get home. You wouldn't mind staying with her would you?" She left the girl standing there and left. Clark didn't say anything merely pulled out a chair and before Yuogi could say anything sat Amelia in it. It crashed to the floor in a million pieces and a food tray fell all over Amelia.
Yuogi popped one eye open from it's wincing position and gritted her teeth, waiting for wailing, or screaming, or even crying the others were awaiting the same. Everyone in the room was shocked to the toes of their shoes when she started laughing. Not a dry, hoarse laugh but a light tinkling one, a contagious laugh. The whole place erupted in laughter.
None of them felt much like coffee after the chair incident but Lex turned to Yuogi. "That was meant for me wasn't it?" Yuogi only looked at him guiltily as they strolled through the park. "You anticipated my move. I would have sat closest to you because I wouldn't have expected it rigged." He seemed quite amazed.
"I'm not stupid. I can anticipate almost everything you're going to do. You far too predictable in your attempt at unpredictability."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You always try to do the opposite of what people expect you to do. So I can tell what you're going to do by thinking the opposite of what I would were I in your shoes."
"I'll have to change my pattern then." Lex replied, musingly.
"It's not easy to fool me." Yuogi replied.
"Did you have a good time in town?" Jonathan Kent asked at dinner.
"Oh I met a wonderful man." Amelia said laughingly. "He laughed and talked with me all day while Clark and his other friends went off." She replied.
"Really?" Martha was excited by this news. The girl had been terribly reserved for quite some time. "What was his name?"
"Oh you know him…" Amelia went on. "Lex Luthor. Very considerate fellow, disturbed though, definitely disturbed." She seemed oblivious to their shocked silence and went on with her dinner.
"No I won't calm down Martha!" Jonathan hissed in their bedroom later on. "We just found out she's our only daughter I won't have her taken by Lex Luthor as well."
"The kids friendship with him isn't harmful. Don't you trust our children's judgments?" She asked.
"Not when it comes to that boy. Both of them are wrong where Lex Luthor's concerned."
"Have you ever thought it's you who's wrong?" Martha asked softly sending Jonathan into an enraged silence.
"Hey." Yuogi said in the hall on Monday. "Is Amelia attending classes today?"
"Yeah." Clark replied. "My Mom was wondering if you'd hang out with her so it wouldn't just be her brother sticking up for her."
"Sure I'll take care of her for you." Yuogi replied, hooking her thumbs in the belt loops of her blue jeans. Her faded chambray shirt fell loosely about her form but gave her sharp features a softer touch. Yuogi had the look of a fine cut gem, beautiful sharp edges, softened only by the velvet wrapping of her hair and her faded attire.
"Thanks Yuogi." Clark shouted over his shoulder as the first bell rang and he was swept away in the tide of students on their way to class.
"Amelia Kent why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself." Ms. Carlin called to the quiet girl in the front of class.
"My name's Amelia Renee Kent and I didn't know my family until four days ago. Before that I lived in England." She said softly.
"Thank you." Ms. Carlin told her wondering why the girl was so withdrawn. She had a manner similar to a maid of medieval England. She'd have to ask Martha about her.
Lex swam laps in his pool. His thoughts weren't on counting though; they were focused on two girls. One with laughing caramel eyes the other harsh emerald eyes. Clark had a terrible tendency to pick friends that were attractive not only for their bodies but their minds. He submerged himself once more in the cold water, berating himself for thinking the Kent's daughter a beautiful girl and even worse Yuogi Stevens an interesting opponent and fascinating woman. He was always getting mixed up with the wrong women.
