Lana and Clark were at Burger King waiting for Chloe and Pete to get their
food
"You want my pickles?" Lana asked Clark
"Yeah, Sure"
She put them on his burger
"So are you going to the carnival with me tomorrow?" She asked him
"Are you kidding? Of course I am Lana, I wouldn't miss it for the world!"
She smiled gratefully at him
"Thank you so much, I hope you don't mind me working at the dunking booth"
"Anything to see you in a wet T-shirt"
Her jaw dropped
"It's a joke, Lana"
She smiled
"OK, but I know you are serious"
"I bet a lot of little 14-year-olds will be throwing balls at you"
She laughed "Yeah"
Lana took a bite of her onion rings and he took a deep breath
"I love you, Lana"
She looked at him, wide eyed, then started choking on her onion rings, she spit it out into a napkin and starting fanning herself
"Lana, Are you OK?" Clark asked worried
Chloe and Pete come back and Chloe sat next to Lana, she noticed Lana's face was red and her eyes were watery from choking
"Are you OK?" Chloe asked her
She started to hyperventilate, then caught herself and got up
"Chloe, come to the bathroom with me"
Chloe got up worried and followed her friends. Pete stared at Clark
"What the hell did you do to Lana?"
"I just told her I loved her.. She freaked out!"
Pete laughed
"Maybe she thinks you are moving to fast"
Clark threw his hands up
"We knew each other sense we were 3!"
Chloe and Lana where in the bathroom, Lana was splashing cold water on her face, Chloe was leaning against the towel box
"Are you going to tell me what is wrong?"
"Something Clark said" Lana said
"Oh my God, Did he break up with you?"
"No, no, no. He just told me that he....loved me!"
"What is so bad about that?"
"I don't know, I just wasent ready for it, it just hit me out of the blue"
"Is that why you freaked out, I mean, Is the feeling not mutual?"
"Yes, it is but.... I don't know"
"What?"
"It just freaked me out"
"What are you going to say to him now?"
"I don't think I can go out there after freaking out like that"
she paused
"Can you take me home, please?"
Chloe glared at her friend, then rolled her eyes and smiled sympathetically
"OK, come with me"
Clark and Pete were sitting down, they saw Lana walk out, Just as Clark was about to go for her Chloe ran over
"Lana wants to go home, She's embarrassed that she freaked out when you told her you loved her"
"I'll take her home"
"She doesn't really want to face you now. She says she will see you tomorrow OK?"
"Um, OK?"
She kissed Pete on the lips
"Bye Pete"
He waved
"See you tomorrow, Chloe"
"You want my pickles?" Lana asked Clark
