Protection chapter 2

Gaia and Clark got onto the school bus in the morning and said good morning to Chloe and
Pete.
"Hey guys hows it going?" Clark asked them.
"Pretty good, wow you actually caught the bus today. I'm impressed." Chloe replied.
"Yeah man, this is the first time in what a month or so that you have?" Pete remarked.
"Aw come on you guys I'm not that bad am I?" Clark said with a smile. Then turned to Gaia.
"your awfuly quite this morning, nervous about starting school?"
"No, just tired. No caffine or krispy kremes." Gaia said shaking her head and smirking.
"Ah, so we have another caffine junkie." Pete said looking at Chloe who slapped him
playfully.
"I am not that bad! Jeeze just because I can't function without it doesn't make me a junkie!
Right Gaia?" Chloe replied. Gaia raised her eyebrows and smirked again.
"Of course." She replied then slouched down in the seat and looked out the window for the
rest of the ride.

When they arrived at the school Gaia went to the office to get her schedual and her locker
then went and stuffed all her books except the ones she needed in and started to head for class. Her
first class was math, she was in the advanced class with Clark so she sat next to him. She sat through
the teachers rambling about polynomials and factoring then there was an anouncment on the PA.
"Will Gaia Moore please come to the office." The voice said then cut off. So Gaia got up and
walked down to the office. When she entered her father(or uncle she wasn't sure) was standing there.
Lex Luthor was also there.
"So which one are you?" She asked scowling. Either one was bound to end in disaster.
"It's me. Your father." He replied opening his arms to welcome her embrace but instead Gaia
backed away.
"Why would I welcome you with open arms?" She asked crossing her arms.
"Your right, you don't have any reason to," He said looking defeated.
"You abandoned me." Gaia cut in before he could finish.
"I had no other choice, but we can't talk about this here." he said looking at Lex " We have
to go somewhere private, there could be people listening." He said. Gaia knew that her father didn't
mean Lex. There was someone far more dangerous out there.
