Chapter Two
The assembly ended with the vice-principal announcing the list of planned activities for the coming week. When she mentioned the small farewell party next Friday evening, for the Leesburg students, everyone went ecstatic! A party sponsored solely by the school is a great idea indeed.
Classes resumed and everything went back to normal in Smallville High. The delegates from Leesburg were given a copy of their class schedules and were escorted to their classes.
Clark, Chloe and Pete made a little side trip to the school paper's office, so when they arrived in homeroom class, everyone's already in. Mr. Fuller, the professor wasn't in yet luckily.
There was a soft buzz among the students in the classroom about the new students. Clark crashed down on his chair and so did his other friends. Chloe was by now talking in whispers to Amanda White, her seatmate, and Clark saw her point her finger at the front row. They're talking about someone.
Clark followed their gaze and saw the head cheerleader of Leesburg High, Linda Danvers. She was sitting at Julie Damon's seat, who was sent to Leesburg as Smallville's exchange student.
"Check out Lana Lang number two." He overheard Amanda told Chloe, joking.
Meanwhile, Linda sat on her seat quietly probably going through her class schedule.
Mr. Fuller walked into the room, straight to his table in front of the class.
"Good morning class." He saluted with a smile as he placed down his things on the table. Examining the class, his attention was caught by this beautiful young woman sitting up front. "Ah so we have a new student. Why don't you introduce yourself to everyone, miss?"
"Danvers." Linda slowly stood up from her chair and pivoted just so she'd face the class. "Hi. I'm Linda Lee Danvers, most of my friends call me Lyn. So I guess you can call me that, Lyn. I'm a senior at Leesburg High, Ohio and I'm into cheer dancing."
For Clark, it seemed like everything was in slow motion. She was talking very slowly. Oh how she looks exquisite with her long light brown hair in a headband, those luscious cherry glossed lips looks tempting, her perfectly pointed nose, and adorable blushing cheeks, Linda Danvers' a major babe. Her well-developed bosom's another plus factor for the guys of course.
"Wonderful." The professor reckoned, arms crossed over his chest. Clark snapped out of the trance and so did the other male students. Linda sat back down.
"Now, please pass your written essays so we can begin." Mr. Fuller suggested. In less than a minute, the sheets of paper were already in his hands. "I'm gonna pick 15 works and let the composer read it for the class, after which a discussion."
He browsed the papers quickly, looking for compositions that would tickle his fancy. Mr. Fuller pulled out 15 papers and started calling out the name's. First was Brad Kern, Lisa Montana, Kirk Wesley, Marc Stevenson, then it was Clark Kent's turn.
"Mr. Kent would you please read the class your composition." He uttered pulling out Clark's work from the pile of papers.
Stunned, Clark stood up. Walked in front and got hold of his work. He swallowed hard as he noticed that Linda had her eyes on him. Her hazel brown eyes sparkled.
Clark started reading his essay, ones in a while looking at the crowd for some effects. Finally when he got to the part about him hoping to find his dream girl someday, he accidentally met Linda's gaze. He swiftly looked away, embarrassed.
"Nicely done Mr. Kent." Mr. Fuller praised his work. Just as Clark was about to return the paper to Mr. Fuller, it slipped out of his hand and it landed before Linda.
Clark immediately bent down to pick it up, Linda did the same thing. And they found themselves looking straight at each other's eyes. She got to the paper first and gave it to Clark.
"Here." She hushed. Clark swore his heart did a double back flip.
"Th-thanks." Clark stuttered, his blue eyes still locked with Linda's hazel ones. She beamed him a sweet grin as a reply.
Mr. Fuller told him to take his seat, and called forth the next student. From that moment on, it was all that Clark thought about all day. That incident with Linda Danvers. It was official, Clark Kent's got a huge crush on the new girl from Leesburg. Lana Lang now has a rival inside Clark's heart.
Chloe noticed the way Clark was acting around Linda.
"He's got the hots for her." Chloe thought, green-eyed. He knew Clark all too well.
"Are you ok?" Pete queried her while they were walking off to their next class.
"I think you should ask Clark that question, not me." She shot back leading the way. "What's with Clark and the freaking head cheerleaders anyway?!"
"I think someone's been bitten by the green eyed monster." Pete pointed out with a giggle.
"Oh please!!" Chloe rolled her eyes and entered the classroom.
The bell rang on the last period, signaling the student's dismissal. Then came the announcement from the speakers, requesting all the exchange students to proceed to the auditorium. They will be sorted out there and assigned to their host family for a week.
All the students poured out of the classrooms and into the noisy, crowded hallways of the school. Clark spotted Pete and Chloe together when he walked out of the building. They spotted him too and went towards him.
"Clark." Chloe muttered, books tucked under her arm.
"We just saw your mom back there." Pete informed referring to the allotted space at the side of the school field used as parking. "She said she and your dad's here to pick up someone."
Clark started heading off to the direction given by Pete where his mom's supposed to be, as his friend's trailed behind.
"Your family's housing a Leesburg student and you didn't tell us about it? Clark?" Chloe snapped trying to catch up with the big guy.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you." Clark said looking over his shoulder to Chloe, still walking. "Honestly it slipped out of my mind, and my parents reminded me about it this morning."
Alas they reached Mrs. Kent's location. She was standing next to the family's pick up vehicle.
"Mom." Clark called out. He approached her and planted a kiss on her right cheek.
"Hi again Mrs. Kent." Chloe greeted with a smile. Pete did the same.
"Where's dad?" Clark inquired looking at the pool of people forming on the field. Most of them are also there for the exchange student housing.
"He went in to get her." She replied shielding her eyes from the rays of the afternoon sun, with the use of her hand.
"Her?" He raised an eyebrow, intrigued by what he found out.
"A girl." Pete concluded, turning his eyes to Chloe teasingly, who he knew is going insane about it. She gave Pete an evil look.
"Uh huh." Mrs. Kent nodded. "Your father and I figured, another guy in the house would be total chaos. I already have a lot on my plate with you and your dad, Clark. A female member would be nicer, even for just a while."
Clark thought that his mother's got a point there. Another guy drinking from the carton's the last thing his mom would want.
Almost twenty minutes passed and Mr. Kent still is nowhere to be found. At this time, some of the Leesburg students and their foster parents are already leaving.
"I wonder what's taking him so long?" Mrs. Kent retorted, looking at her watch.
"I'll go check. Maybe he needs help or something." Clark offered. He was about to set off, when from out of the blue, amidst the crowded field, his father emerged. He was carrying two big luggage with both hands.
"What took you so long?" Mrs. Kent asked as her husband came near them.
"I had to sign up some papers for the school, for security reasons." Mr. Kent relayed, dumping both luggage at the back of the pick up truck.
"Where is she?" His son prodded.
"He knows?" He told his wife, pointing at Clark. Mrs. Kent nodded.
"My tongue slipped." She confessed.
"Ah that's ok." He moved towards his lovely wife and enveloped her in a hug.
"Hi." A soft female voice said, coming from behind them.
They all turned their heads to see who it was, except for Clark who threw his bag inside the car.
"There she is." He heard his dad mumbled. Clark spun around.
To his absolute surprise, the student his parents chose, was the same girl he was crushing on, Linda Lee Danvers!
As always, being a good hearted parent that she is, Mrs. Kent said her hello and hugged Linda.
"Clark," His father started to say. "I would like you to meet Linda Danvers, your new 'sister'."
Clark couldn't believe his eyes. Linda was in front of him, flashing that smile again, and she's staying over at the Kent's house! Chloe and Pete couldn't believe either!
"Everyone this is our 'daughter', Linda." Mr. Kent introduced her. "That's Chloe and Pete, your brother's friends."
Mrs. Kent, who had her left arm anchored around Linda's shoulder, giggled upon hearing the word 'brother'.
"Hi." Was Linda's sweet answer. The two just smiled back.
It came to their attention that Linda was carrying with her 3 small miniature glossy paper bags.
"My mom insisted that I should at least have something for my 'new' family." Linda resolved looking down.
"Mom, this is for you." She handed Mrs. Kent the pink one.
"Oh honey, you shouldn't have. Thank you." Martha mumbled, touched by the gesture.
"Dad." Linda handed Mr. Kent the blue one. He thanked her.
"And," She paused, staring at the remaining green paper bag at hand. Linda looked up and, "Clark."
Linda presented him the gift. There goes that familiar smile again.
"Thank you." Clark spoke, cracking a smile while his heart did a somersault.
Clark Kent's life just became even more interesting with Linda's arrival.
