8:18 A.M., Smallville High
Clark and Lois walk down the hall to go to the library. They have known each other for three whole minutes and they haven't said a word to each other except when Principal Kwan introduced them. Both are nervous about what they are going to say to each other. They try to distract themselves by looking at the banners and posters hanging on the walls. Finally, Clark had the courage to say something.
"So. Lois. How do you like Smallville so far?"
"I barely had the chance to see it but I've seen some of the fields and it looked nice."
"It's a good thing. You're going to see a lot of those around here. There are a lot of farmers in Smallville."
"Like your family?"
"How'd you know?" Clark asked her in surprise.
"The flannel shirt kind of gave it away." she said with a smile in her face. "The smell of cow feed helped also."
Clark then had a sudden urge to smell himself. Does he really smell like cow feed? He almost put his sleeve up to his nose when he realized that it is so rude and strange to smell yourself in front of a girl.
Clark stopped in front of the door of the library. Lois, who didn't notice him, kept walking ahead.
"Well, we're here." Clark said. Lois stopped, then turned around; turning slightly red. "Better ask Ms. Jenkins for those books." Like a gentleman, he opened the door for her and only came in once she got in.
8:45 A.M.
"Thanks for the books Ms. Jenkins and the library card too." Lois said as she and Clark were going out of the library.
"Oh my god, my bag weighs like about a ton." Lois complained as she is dragging her bag on to the floor. "The weird thing is you're carrying more than half of them."
Clark was carrying half of them alright. Nine very heavy textbooks is what Clark carrying in his arms. It's not like it bothers him. To him, the books are all feather-light.
"Time to go my locker" Lois said.
8:50 A.M.
"Locker 141 for Ms. Lane."
"Thank you, my dear." Lois replied, in a very Dame Edna-ish voice and accent, while taking her hand inside her pocket. She took out a dollar and gave it to Clark. "Here is for your services. Now, if you keep this up, you'll expect some more in the near future." She smiled, and eventually the both of them started laughing.
'Thanks Lois. But I'm not supposed to get paid." Clark said when he finally stopped laughing. " I mean, I'd love to, but I don't think Reynolds will let me charge you for my services."
"OK. I guess I could repay you somehow other than actually paying you. I'll think of something. Don't worry. I always do."
9:00 A.M., Torch Office
"Chloe, are you here?" Clark shouted. He almost forgot that Chloe had to tell him something. "Chloe! Where the hell are you?!"
"I'm right here Clark." said a voice behind her. He turned around and almost jumped when he saw Chloe staring at him. "So, what are you doing here?"
"You told me last night before you went on your date that you needed to tell me something."
"Oh, yeah. Now I remember. My cousin is staying here in Smallville for three weeks. Since I might be giving her a grand tour of the whole town; I may not have enough time to work on the paper as I would like. So, on to my question. Can you help me work on the paper? Or at least until my cousin is fine to go around by herself. So will you please?" Chloe said while she had this pouty look on her face.
"I would love to, but I can't." he said. Chloe became disappointed. "Reynolds already assigned me a temporary student which coincidentally is also staying here in Smallville for three weeks. Actually, she's right outside if you want to meet her."
Chloe stared at him with no expression on her face. Clark turned around and walked outside. He left Lois out of the room so that she could look around the hallway a bit more.
"Come on in Lois." Clark whispered.
Lois walked in while Chloe was looking for something in the file cabinet.
"Chloe, I would like you to meet Lois Lane." suddenly Chloe's head sprang up and looked at the girl with surprise. "Lois, I would like you to meet--"
"Ahhhh! Oh my god! Chloe is that you?" Lois shouted behind Clark.
Clark was in shock. There were two girls in a newspaper office screaming their heads off. After the shouting, the hugging came. Then came the very fast talking that, Clark thought, neither of them understood.
When both girls finally caught their breath, they started to talk in the normal way again. Chloe, being the daring one that Clark knows and loves, started the conversation between the cousins.
"Oh my God! Lois, what time did you arrive?"
"I actually arrived this morning. It was a long drive to the place we're staying and I never had a chance to call you. Or even tidy up my room. I'm really sorry if I didn't tell you I already arrived. I just didn't want to miss my first day of school."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you are here. Anyway, I see that my friend has been assigned as your official tour guide for Smallville."
Both of them looked to Clark.
Chloe spoke, yet again. "Lois, this is Clark, one of my best friends in the entire world. You know the one I talked to you about."
Lois suddenly froze. The look on her face tells that she just realized something.
"S-s-so, um, Clark. Y-yo-your C-Chlo-C-Chloe's Clark."
Clark replied, "Yeah I'm her Clark alright. Are you ok? 'Cause it seems that I might not be the only one to be stuttering today."
"Yeah. I'm fine."
*ring of bell*
"Come on Lois. We got to get to Trig."
