Summary: Lana has learned to deal.



"Whitney! I didn't know you were home!" Chloe said as the tall boy loomed over her and her latte.

"I didn't know you didn't know---where are those razor sharp reporter instincts?"

"I'm still pretty pissed you didn't tell me good bye when you left."

"I'm still pretty pissed you didn't tell me you were going to the Formal with Clark."

"You know how that turned out. Don't even think about turning THAT around on me." Chloe retorted.

"I tried to hint to Lana what was going on with us, but she didn't get that you MIGHT be moving on."

"I'm not an idiot, Chloe!" A female voice familiar to the both of them said. They looked up and saw Lana Lang hands on her hips.

"Whoa, Lana---" Whitney started.

"Lana, I'm sor---" Chloe said.

"Forget that, you two. I've known about you two since forever. I knew it finally got serious when I found YOUR letter on the counter. Sucks to have a rommie." Lana grinned, remembering the line Chloe used on her awhile back.

"You're not upset?" Whitney asked.

"You didn't even hint that you knew!" Chloe interjected.

"I'm not upset, I've known for awhile, and I'm happy for you two." Lana smiled her genuine smile to reassure the new couple and walked away.

"What was that?" Whitney asked, looking at Chloe.

"No clue!" Chloe replied as she opened her laptop. As she clicked away at the screensaver, Whitney stared into space, utterly mind boggled.

"Here we go.this is it! I bought her this CD for Christmas!" Chloe said as a Word document popped up when she signed on. Whitney leaned over Chloe and read the message along with her.

You were everything I wanted

But I just can finish what I started

There's no room left here on my bed

It was damaged long ago

Though you swear that you are true

I still pick being friends over dating you

I'm ok with you guys. As long as Chloe's ok with me going after Petey boy.

-Lana

Chloe looked up at Lana who was looking straight at her. 'Pete?' Chloe mouthed. Lana grinned and nodded as the boy walked into the Talon and her attention immediately refocused.

"I think she's going to be ok with this." Chloe said to Whitney, who was still looking at the raven haired girl. "Are you ok with this?"

"I knew Pete liked her!" Whitney burst out, causing them both to laugh at the utter stupidity of their teenage angst.
