LANA
"Guess you don't have to worry about a dress." Clark has the subtlety of a kick in the head.
My boyfriend decided to put on a uniform and go save the world. And I don't know how to react. When I thought he was going to propose, I nearly threw up. Then Clark tells me he's taking Chloe to the dance anyway. What are they thinking? She's dating his best friend. Then I remember that I'm still dating Whitney.
Lana Lang and her perfect life. Yeah, right. Aunt Nell is so angry with me - I can tell by that brittle way she slaps the dishes down. I don't know what her deal is. She's been pissy ever since she got back from Metropolis (- like I don't know about the 'business trips'. Part of the reason I could never look at Lex the same way.-) But she had the perfect dress picked out. Stocked the right flowers. And somehow I'm letting her down - because I saw someone get shot the other week, but hey, let it go, and concentrate on looking like nothing ever gets you down.
Who am I kidding? Besides everyone else. When I heard that the plant was closing, I thought - Chloe will be gone, and so will Lex, and then maybe things will go back to the way they were. Only without Whitney. How crap is that? His father dies, and he gets a crusade on. And I can't think that he might end up in some desert somewhere, because I'm busy wondering if maybe I can ask Clark to go with me on Saturday. 'Just friends', of course. Like last time.
Only he's 'just friends' with Chloe. And Lex is going to be mad as hell when he finds out.
I hear myself.
"We're getting left behind."
-I'm- getting left behind. I want to be in Chloe Sullivan's shoes. How ironic is that? I've always envied her closeness to Pete and Clark. The nearest female friend I had was Tina, until she went all SWF on me. Now the resident weird girl is dating the most eligible man in town, and she has one of the most handsome dogging her heels. And I'm letting a man who loves me head off to boot camp, holding onto a dream that doesn't exist any more.
A real fairytale life.
