At the Torch office.
Chloe was finishing the work she couldn't finished the day before. She was at her third cup of coffee. She had her headphones on her eyes singing out loud the Remy Zero album that Pete bought her for her birthday. Someone took the headphones off her hears.
"Hey!!!!!" she turned around and saw Pete. Smiling insanely at her. His cheeks were turn into fire.
"Sorry. But this CD is going to brake down if you don't stop listening to it!"
"What is going on with you?" she asked worried.
"I got a date with the new student. Well not exactly a date but it's a rendezvous to talk about school events and school work.!"
"You are going to try the Pete Ross charm to get to her, by being all nice and adorable but not too much just enough so they like you and ask you out ?"
"Yeah. You know all my tricks Chlo! You know me by heart."
"You're my best friend! That's for sure. Tell me what kind of friend would I be?"
"The kind of friend that is hiding something from me!"
"Well, Clark and Lana had a fight because of me-"
"Chloe, I know what happened but there's something going on. Am I right?" he look at her seriously. A serious Pete is a Beware of the dogs sign. You don't really want to mess with him. Because he's most of the time right about stuff. He could a good psychiatrist like this Dr Phil. He still is looking at her.
"What do you mean?" she asked a little bit shaky.
"You know what I mean. And don't use powers against me Chloe Sullivan!!!"
"I will not use my powers to get out of my problems and you know that!!!"
"Happy to know that. But there's a Big But going on."
" Is Lex the Big But you're talking about?"
"Yeah. What is going on with the two of you? Cupid forgot that Valentine's Day is in February!!! I mean it came like that!!! Out of the blue!!!! I swear if he hurts you verbally or physically he's going to hear about me BIG TIME!!!!!"
"Pete, this will not happen okay!!! Trust me!!! I know what I'm doing!!!"
"What are you doing then???"
"At lunchtime I'm going to take a coffee with him. It's short date. And after school I'm going shopping with Maggie and if you want you can come with cause I'll really appreciate the opposite sex opinion. See I'm asking for the opposite sex opinion which mean that I'm begging you even if I'm six feet under because you're disappointed in me. Don't pretend you're mad because you're not!!! You're disappointed and it hurts me more than you can ever imagine!!! The last thing I want is another of my best friends turning his back at me!!!"
"Okay. I'm going with you. Is there a reason why I would turn my back on you??? I always turn out to forgive you. You have a good way with words Chloe!!! Even if you're all red and almost bursting."
"Thank you. Lex will so not mind. If he trust me he'll trust you too!!!"
"I thought he was a cold-hearted bastard?"
"Well.."
"Did you use the heart melting smile and charm of yours???"
"Yes."
"And it worked?"
"Yes."
"He has a heart?"
"Yes."
" He really must have something for you!"
"Yes."
"Change the CD Chloe!!!"
"Yes."
"I have a football practice so I have to go. And by the way!!! I think Clark and you definitely have something for the LL initials!!!"
"Go away Pete!!! Before I hit you!!!"
"Good ol' Chloe is back!!!"
"Yeah. So, GO!!!"
"If you insist."
He leaved the office. Happy that he cleared everything up with Chloe . Her father knew what was going on. He hadn't say anything about it. But he called her to check up.
"Torch Office, Chloe Sullivan speaking."
"Hi! Honey!"
"Daddy!!! What is this purpose to this call???"
"I know about Lex and you."
"Really? And?"
"Let's say I'm okay with it for now. I respect him a lot Chloe and I know he's not like is father but still if he hurts you."
"He's going to owe you BIG TIME!!! I know."
"Chloe I trust you. You're my big girl. Don't let him crush your heart like you let Clark."
"I didn't let Clark hurt me on purpose Dad!!! When you love someone it's like that. You take risks. What do you want me to do? I can't help it!!"
"I know. I know. You know what you're doing so I trust both of you."
"Thank you dad!"
"Welcome, honey. Gotta go!"
"Okay. Bye!"
She hang up turn round and saw Clark. ( Everyone! Everyone! Today is the conversations day! Everyone fell free to talk to me and bother me)
"Hi! Chloe."
"Hi."
"You're going out with Lex?"
"Well, you can call it like that!"
"Since when?"
"Since yesterday. After your fight with Lana."
"Why?"
"why what?
"Why are you going out with Lex?"
"Because I like him that's all!"
"You didn't go out with Pete, and you like him too!"
"What is the matter here. I'm old enough to know what I'm doing. I thought Lex was your friend too!"
"The dream Chloe the dream I had!!!! You're going to sleep with him!!! I'm sure of it!!!"
"Clark I'm going to sleep with him if I want to!!!! And not because you had a dream and that you're scared that the dream it's going to happen in this reality!!!! Understand?"
"Yes , I do, but be careful I don't want to lose like in my dream. That is all!"
"I understand Clark. So what's going between the two of you?"
"With who?"
"Clark!!" Chloe said in exasperation.
"Oh you mean me and Lana? Well, I don't know, she doesn't trust me. I can't deal with that! The problem is her. So she had to deal with herself before she deal with me." he said that calmly. He did sound like the wise Jonathan Kent. These two have a morale to everything but they're both stubborn , poor Martha!!!
"Well, you'll wait for her. Aren't you?"
" Look I waited after her since I was eleven years old. So it's not a couple of days that are going to change my mind!"
"Good! That is the optimistic Clark I waited to hear all day!"
"It's lunchtime by the way, in an hour or so."
"you overheard on purpose the conversation I had with Pete. Did you?"
"Yeah."
"You Lana are both the same. Lana did the same thing yesterday while I was having a conversation with Lex!!! Both of you are toasted!!!!"
"Okay. I don't want to finish like a burnt toast. I already know your cooking I think I'm going to pass!"
"Okay!!! STOP making fun of me!!! Go talk to Lana. She'll need your help Clark. Your optimism to make her feel wanted a little bit!"
"You know Chloe, I know about the fact that you have powers!"
"Yeah. You listen our conversation. I tough about that. So what do you think about it?"
"That it's fun that I have a friend who has powers like me!"
"you have powers. Since when? Does Pete know? Does Lana know? Your parents? Lex?"
Pete does because he heard the conversation I once had with mom and dad about my crash on Smallville, Lana doesn't and so does Lex!"
"Okay. That's cool! So you're not a freak? You're an alien?"
"Yeah. Cool isn't it?"
"Yeah, but you should at least tell Lana and Lex."
"I'm trying really hard."
"I know. I haven't told my dad yet!"
"He knows it! You're his daughter! He knows everything about you! He's waiting after you to tell him!"
"How come?"
"He had a talk with my mother days ago."
"so you knew it way before today haven't you?"
"No. I did 1+1 =2 Chloe!"
"It's not hard! He was concerned!"
"Well, at least he didn't though I was taking drugs."
"You're on drugs?"
"No!!! It's a way of speaking Clark!"
"Yeah. Well sometimes I don't like you're speaking way!!"
"Go before I burn you ass with my powers!"
Okay. I got to go anyway!!!"

At the Beanery.
"Well if it isn't the infamous Sullivan?" said a jock.
"Yeah, Jockstrap! What the matter?"
"I don't like your attitude bitch! What do you have against jocks?"
"What do you have against good reporters who are doing their job very well compared to some jocks who think it's funny to have a book concerned the marks you give to your sexual experience! All of you, slept with them for your stupid book! So shut up Jockstrap!"
"You really have to open you're big mouth do you? It's stronger than you, isn't? I'm going to learn you how to shut the fuck hell up one day!"
" I wouldn't count on that if was you!" said a firm voice behind the jocks.
" Well, first of all you should have hair baldy!" the jock trying to mess with Lex's nerves.
"Maybe but I have better sex than all your book. I can have every women I want! Not like you! So get off the floor!" Lex's answer caught them off guard.
" I'll get you next time Chloe!" said the jock pointing his finger at her.
"Not if I get you first jockstrap!" said Chloe.
All of the jocks friends were laughing at their comrade. They quit the place.
"Hey! Intrepid reporter!"
"Hey, Alexander!"
"We should sit!"
They got a sofa. They ordered a jumbo sized coffee both of them.
"Is it true?" Chloe asked.
"What is true?" he asked.
"That you probably had better sex than all the book?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure about it! Don't look at me like that. You didn't expect that I didn't have any experience did you?"
"It's not that! I know you must have a lot of experience! It's just.. you know?"
"No I don't know. But I don't care. It was only sex Chloe! I've never made love! No feeling of attachment ."
"Oh." she said. ( The guy slept with at least 200 women and never ever made love! That's weird. Am I going to be his first real passionate time if we go this far?)
"I know what you're thinking. But with you it's different and I like it. To be honest I think our relationship is going to last a long time. Well I hope!"
"Me too. But why?"
"You make me feel alive. Human and that's it. You make me feel more than rich Chloe. I value you more than everything else in the world."
"Thank you Lex!" she said blushing really hard.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm thanking you! My mom would have loved you! I'm sure about that!"
"I'm glad to know your mother would have approved me because I'm pretty sure that mine would have too!"
They sealed this conversation with a long and blissful kiss. They kissing each other in front of everyone. They didn't care because they loved each other which is way stronger than what people may think.
