Chapter 5 :1997
Clark and Pete sat eating there lunchables. Pete noticed that Clark was staring at Lana Lang
"Earth to Clark!" he said waving a hand in front of his 11-year-old friend
"Oh sorry, Pete. Whats up?"
"Why do you keep staring at Lana?"
"I'm not!"
"Yes you are. you keep looking over at her. Don't tell me your falling in love, man. My older brother Jeffery who is 16. he's in love and it's so disgusting! He calls her up every night! There always.. yuck, kissing!"
"That must be hard for you, Pete"
"Yeah thats why I'm never falling in love"
"Don't be dumb Pete, you know you will someday"
"I hope not! so what do you got with this Lana girl?"
Clark stared at her "She is pretty and very nice"
"Gross, man. Don't tell me your going to get all lovey-dovey with her"
"No, no, no! don't be gross!"
He watched Lana was playing basketball with 4 other girls surrounding her. He thought their names were Caryn, Kayla, Linda and Fern but he wasent sure. The ball rolled over to him. Lana ran over.
"Hey guys" she said
"Hey Lana, I like your necklace" Pete's way of being polite
"Thank, you it's from the meteor that killed my parents" she noticed Clark who had began sweating "Are you O.K.? it's not that hot out here"
"I...uh..um..er.." he stammered
"Obviously Clarks not to good around the ladies. Here's your basketball"
He gave it to her
"Thanks Pete" she bounced it back to the girls
Pete turned to Clark
"Dude, what was that?"
"I don't know.."
"You are in love with her! Clark and Lana sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g!
"Shut up Pete!" Clark punched his friend in the arm
"Ow!!" Pete rubbed his arm
"Sorry" Clark apologized
"You are so strong! you should try out for wrestling next year!"
"No thanks, I might hurt one of those 8th graders!"
Pete laughed and playfully punched his friend in the arm Clark thought of doing the same but decided he gave Pete enough pain..for today anyway.
Clark and Lana were still on the couch eating pizza
"Why did you always clam up when I was around?" she asked
because of your stupid green necklace, he thought but would not say it outloud
"Hmmm....?" she asked with a cheeky grin
"Because you were a totally hot chick, dude!" he replied
she looked at him like he was crazy. then she realized it was a joke she laughed so hard she choked on her pizza Clark slapped her on the back and she spit it out
"sorry, that was gross" she said looking at the half eating gob on her plate. she went up to throw it out. "what time is it anyway?"
he looked at his watch "7:00"
She replied sadly "I guess you've have to go home now, then"
"Nah, I'll stay a little longer"
She smiled at him. He is the best! she thought they say back down and turned the page. There was a picture of a 14-year-old Chloe and Clark talking
"Oh look! Chloe! this was when she first moved here! it seems like ages ago! but I can remember the first time I met her like it was just yesterday! what about you?"
"Yeah"
"You wanna tell your story first?"
"All right" he said and began
