Depressed

By: Niesyl B. Arcilla a.k.a NiCell

To: To my classmate Lia! Woohoo! I think that after reading this, you'll tell me i have gone mad. That's okay.... I included myself in the story! Please dont say something like 'God Niesyl, how ambitious of you. DONT COMPARE ME TO THE NIESYL IN THE STORY!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Lex, Clark, Lana, Chloe, Pete and Whitney but I do own Niesyl [giggles].

A/N: To all Lex Luthor Fans.... I think you're gonna hate me! But don't hate me too much... I am not depress and I don't have the Niesyl's attitude (the character from the story) and I am not in love with Lex Luthor... I'm sticking up to Clark! And another thing on why you shouldnt hate me... You stop comparing me and that Niesyl in the story because 1.) I like Clark not him. 2.) I dont do icky stuff (like kissing...Yelch!) 3.) She is 18 yrs old, I'm 14. 4.) you can always imagine yourself as her! ( be my guest). I just included myself because In my dream it was a girl named Niesyl.

Chapter I

I am planning to ask Clark about Niesyl that day. I went into his house but his dad said he has gone to his school. As I walked the crowded corridors of the school and towards the editorial staff, I stopped in front of the door and listened quietly. Someone is inside, I thought.

"Clark, All I'm asking is for you to give me a spot here in Smallville's Torch ." A familiar voice plainly said. I know who this voice belong to but what is she doing here?

"I'm not the editor-in-chief, Niesyl. Lana is." Clark responded.

"Fine then I'll go look for Lana myself!" I heard the chair moving and someone walking towards the door.

"Niesyl, haven't you forgiven me yet?" Clark asked "Its been years"

"Clark, forgiven? Maybe but I haven't forgotten it. For crying out loud, Clark, you offered me comfort when I most deeply needed it and then after planning to meet me in this secret place of yours, you didn't show up! And to worsen the situation, you didn't even went to the airport to say good-bye. What kind of best friend is that?"

She is opening the door and without realizing she bumped me on the shoulders.

"Sorry" She muttered, covering her eyes then continued walking briskly.

"Lex? What are you doing here?" Clark asked in surprise. "How long have you been standing behind those close doors?"

"Not very long" I answered

"How much did you hear?"

"Every word" I said sitting down on the chair beside Clark. "What happened Clark?"

"Hey guys!" Lana greeted us as she entered the room and sitting in her desk "Was that Niesyl? Whitney's cousin?"

"Ummm... yeah." Clark answered gloomily.

"Don't try to escape the question Clark. What happened?" I snapped

"Well, Niesyl was my best friend before Pete and Chloe and well, her mother just died because of colon cancer. I tried to cheer her up, so I planned to give her our little birthday party, just the two of us. I missed it, I tried to catch up but she was already gone. She thinks I have forgotten it and was mad at me for how many years. She probably still is. I went to the airport but I didn't know which airport, in Metropolis or here so I waited there in Metropolis." Clark explained, rubbing his hands together "She never forgave me."

"Clark!" Lana exclaimed "Didn't you at least asked her where?"

"I never got the chance to do so." Clark answered.

"I'll go get her." I said flatly, realizing something.

"I think she wants to be alone now, Lex" Lana suggested. "Its been tough"

"Do you know her?" Clark suspiciously asked, squinting his eyes.

"Yeah I do. She stopped by in Metropolis when she was on the way here and I noticed she was new, We talked and I offered her a tour in the city." I expalined quietly, walking towards the door "I'll go get her"

"I think she really need to be alone now Lex" Lana suggested again., filing some documents in her desk.

"Lana, if I dont get her, her need to be alone will lead her to death" I said now running towards the corridor.

"What does that mean?" Clark called after. I didnt answer it because maybe by now she has a gun in her purse or something lethal. Finally, I saw her walking to her car.

"Niesyl!" I called. She turned around and smiled, her hair flying in the side of her face.

"Lex? What are you doing here?" She asked, in surprise What are you doing here?."
"I was about to ask you the same question." I said "Why were you in Clark's office?"

"You know Clark?" She bit her lip and raised her left eyebrow.

"Yeah, I do." I smiled"You left when I was about to say hi."

"Thing is, Lex, My dad asked me to move here in a couple of months after his client's hearing is done. He's a lawyer and I just need to call my dad."

"I know" I answered "So... What is your issue with Clark. Any problems? You seem to be crying when you left."

"Well, when we were on junior high, Clark was the only friend I got. I am the nerdy type but no glasses and braces. I always carry books around and people like teasing me about it. Plus, Im a transfer so I am not usually familiar of the place. Clark,though," She is forming a smile on her face "asked to be my friend and also Lana, Chloe, Whitney and Pete. They were the best but Clark and I were the closest. Whitney used to hang-out with Lana and same applies to Chloe and Pete. When my mom died, they comforted me. Clark offered me to meet me in a place near the woods and told me there were a suprise for me waiting. So I went there on my birthday but he never showed up." She was looking down and tears were in her eyes. Suddenly, she laughed, wiping her tears "I'm sorry, I over reacted. Its just" She looked away. Something is really hurting her at that time, I thought. "I need to go." She got her keys and opened her car door.

"Im sorry but I know Clark tried his best." I tried to comfort her, putting my hands on her shoulders. "I know he did." I looked at her. She looks so pale. "You dont look good. Give me your keys and I'll drive." She handed me her key and she scooted on the passenger seat.

"Thanks, Lex." She said "Clarks trying his best? Thats what everyone said" She muttered under her breath thinking I didnt hear it but I did.

"And your not nerdy." I added right away. This is going to be tough. "You are not okay? Now, cheer up. Sad faces are intolerable" I reached my hands on her face and wiped all her tears. "That's better" She smiled.

"I'm not nerdy. That'll be the day." She snorted.

"Look you're smart, funny and beautiful [A/N: I cant believe I'm applying this to myself!]. Dont bring yourself down." She smiled again "There you should keep on smiling, people like that"

"Thanks Lex" She thanked, again biting her lips "Thank you very much."
