I'm speechless and faded
It's too complicated
Is this how the book ends;
Nothing but good friends?
Chloe slammed her locker door and turned just enough to run into something. Or someone, rather. She was about to tell the person to get the hell outta her way, when she looked up. Big, bad mistake. There were those blue eyes staring right into her emerald green ones. And that smile of his just making him positively glow. God, how she wanted him.
"Cl-Clark! Uh, I mean, hey, fancy bumping into you." She smiled her cute little platonic smile, the one she used to cover up what was really going on inside. Like the fact that she was very aware that her and Clark were still so close that almost every part of their body was touching.
"Hey Chloe."
And then nothing. Just them looking at each other. Normally Chloe would never let that happen. But she was long gone. Lost in his eyes and focused on his smile. And God, his toned body was right up against hers. It took all she had in her not to maul him right there.
Clark cleared his throat.
"Um, the article. Here, I finished it last nite. Let me know how it turns out."
With that and another little smile, Clark handed her the article and walked off.
Chloe scanned the article looking for the usually mistypes and grammar errors of someone who procrastinated till the night before to do an assignment. But there were none. There were none?! Now hold on one gosh darn second!
"Clark. Clark wait!" Chloe ran to catch up with him, and was breathless when she reached him.
"What is it Chloe? Is something wrong?" Clark smirked. Apparently, he knew what was coming next.
"How do you do it Clark?! I slave away for hours and still have to have someone read over my papers to fix my lousy attempts at writing. And it's nothing to you. I don't get it!" At this point, Chloe was laughing in unbelief.
"Some people are just cool, like that Chloe." Clark winked, and started laughing as well. And then something amazing happened. Clark tripped.
In one millisecond Chloe went from walking next to Clark to landing between a locker and Clark. O God, if he gets any closer to me I don't know if I'll be able to restrain myself! And yet, he just kept moving closer and closer, almost subconsciously it seemed. And then he stopped, and straightened up, just when he was centimeters away from Chloe's face. And he was very serious, not something normal for Clark Kent.
"Chloe, promise me something."
"Um, sure. Anything for you Clark." Smiling again, Chloe was trying to control the rapid wave of emotions inside her. What was he going to say?
"Promise me that no matter what, we will always be close. We won't ever let anyone or anything get between us. I don't want to loose you, Chloe."
O wow. He doesn't want to loose me?! Yeah right. Let's see how long this holds up.
Ugh. Why are you being so pessimistic Chloe?! Give him a chance. He may actually mean what he says. And maybe more . . .
"Ok, Clark. I promise."
He smiled again. "You are so awesome Chloe. This is it. You and I will always be close. I can feel it."
Chloe smiled at the thought. Close . . . .forever. Yeah, I can handle that.
"We will always be friends forever."
And with those words Chloe's heart dropped down to her feet.
"Chloe, what's wrong? Are you ok?"
Though tears choked her, and her knees were weak with anguish and defeat, Chloe smiled. She was used to this. She shouldn't have been, but she was.
"Y-Yeah, I'm ok Clark. I just don't feel very good all of a sudden. Must be something I ate this morning."
And she ran out of the hallway like her life depended on it.
Friends!? Friends forever?! That's not what I want. I want more! I want you, Clark Kent. But you don't want me. Well, you do, but not for the right reasons. I'm your go-fer, your comic relief, your smile when no one else can. Your pick-me-up, your encouragement. And that's what I'm here for. And that's all I'm good for to you. I'll never be enough . . . . never . . .be . . . .enough . . .
Not really succeeding in holding back the tears, Chloe sat down under a tree on the campus. This was going to be an even longer day than she thought.
(A/N: I know I kinda made Clark out like a goober in this chapter, but it was necessary. Sorry! I'll make it up I promise. Not please review and let me know SOMEONE is reading this. I'm not really doing this story FOR you guys, but I would really like to know wether I should continue to write at all or if I suck and should just quit all together. And I'm still looking for people to take me up on that challenge!)
