Chapter 7 - 2001 (This takes place 2 months before the very first episode)
As Clark dreamt he too, had a flashback. He was 15 years old, a freshman working on the field. His father Jonathan came up to him
"Your doing a great job, son" he told Clark
O.K., Clark thought, I need some answers I made a fool of myself in front of Lana for too long now!
"Thanks Dad.. oh hey came I talk to you about something?"
"Sure, anything"
"It's about a girl"
"Uh oh.. who?"
"Lana"
"Uh OK." He started a speech "When a man and a woman...."
"Gross, Dad!" Clark yelled "Thats not what I'm talking about!"
"O.K., what is it then?"
"It's about her necklace. This green meteor one she always wears. I'm fine when she doesn't wear it but when she does I fall down, sweat and can barely talk. I almost puked once.. why does her necklace do that to me?"
"Well, uh" what am I going to tell him? Jonathan thought, we found you in a meteor shower, son. your an alien! he'll really love that! All he knows is we found him in the corn fields and thats all he'll know for now!
"Dad? are you going to tell me or what?"
"Well, Clark. When the meteor shower fell a lot of weird stuff happened to people. Lana's necklace is a meteor called Krytonite, and it affects you"
"Um, OK, so I can never go around Lana when she has the necklace on?"
"Not unless you want or make a total fool of yourself"
"What if she comes near me?"
He put his arm on his shoulder
"You'll think of something. your smart"
Jonathan went back into the house. Clark continued pulling stacks of hay
Yeah that was real help, Dad! he thought
Clark woke up first. They were in the same position. Lana woke up second
"Hey" she said "what time is it?"
"6:00, I have to get ready for school"
"Uh Clark.. save me a ride"
"You mean it? Your going back to school?"
"Yeah, I miss Whitney still. I'll always love him but I want to move on. he wouldn't want me to be sad. he'd probably want me to be happy"
"I bet he would"
"Thank you, so much Clark, you have no idea how much this helped me"
"No problem."
He hugged her with his muscular arms and she got up.
"Pick me up in an hour, OK?"
"Yeah sure"
He left and she went up to her and Chloe's room, Chloe woke up when she came in
"Hey I'm going to school today!" she said cheerfully
"Really?" Chloe smiled "Clark must be a miracle worker!"
"Yeah"
Lana smiled to herself. He really is the best friend a girl could have, she thought
