Rating: G (for this chapter)
The day was going by really slow. Chloe was in the torch office, and she hadn't seen Clark all day, and ever since they'd been going out, he'd been starting to act weird around her, even weirder than normal. Clark never had much to say anymore. It was like he was, well, bored. Chloe was getting a little tired of this.
I'm going to talk to him after school. She thought.
"Hey, Chloe!" said a cheery voice from behind Chloe. Chloe turned around.
"Oh, hey Lana. What's up?"
"I brought this article you needed for today." Lana handed a peice of paper to Chloe.
"Thanks." Replied Chloe. She took the sheet of paper and put it in the scanner. "Hey, Lana, do you think we would talk later? I mean, I need to get something out, and I can't exactly trust Pete with it…"
"Sure." Lana answered. "It'll have to be at the Talon, though. I work from 4 until closing."
"No problem." Smiled Chloe. "See you later," and she got back to work. Lana smiled and left.
-That night, at the Talon
Lana was cleaning up some of the empty tables when Chloe walked in.
"Hey Chloe." Lana said.
"Hey," Chloe replied, and sat down at a table near Lana. Lana finished cleaning the table and went to sit down with Chloe. "So, what'd you want to talk to me about?" Lana asked Chloe. "Clark." Stated Chloe.
"Clark's never around me anymore, and when he is, he never talks. It seems like he's bored. Do you think maybe that Clark and I are only meant to be friends? We got along so much better when we were just friends." She sighed and waited patiently for an answer.
Lana sat there, unable to get her brain to give her something to say. "Uh, I don't know, Chloe. I think you should talk to Clark about it. I really don't know what to tell you." Chloe nodded at this, said thanks, and left the Talon.
-The next morning, at Clark's house
Knock, knock, knock!
"I'll get it!" Clark called, to ensure that his parent wouldn't also come to the door.
In case it's Lana. Clark thought. I mean Chloe! In case it's Chloe! Chloe. Not Lana. Chloe. By now Clark had reached the door. The actual door wasn't closed, it was just the screen door, so he could see that it was Chloe who had come over.
"Hey, Clark," greeted Chloe, in a not-so-excited way.
"Hey, what's up?" Clark asked.
"Clark, we need to talk."
Clark nodded. "I need to get something out, too."
"You first." Said Chloe.
Clark sighed, and put his hands in his pockets. He was nervous, he didn't want her to be mad at him. "Please don't be mad at me, Chloe. I just need to do this, I'm not being fair to you. You've probably noticed that we haven't been spending much time together since we've been dating. And, it should be the other way around. Chloe, I'm sorry. But as much as I love you, it's just not that type of love. My head is telling me to stay with you, but my hearts not in it. I still love Lana, and we need to stay friends…. We need to break up."
Chloe stood there, stunned. She began to feel tears welling up in her eyes and ran out the door.
