***Faith, Love, and Knowledge (2 of 4)***
The next day, Clark met up with Chloe, Pete, and Lana for a picnic at the park. As they settled down to there sandwiches, the conversation turned to the bet Chloe had with Lex.
"So, Chloe. Has Lex got any ideas yet?" Clark asked. Chloe smiled mischievously.
"Lex called me this morning and guessed. His first guess was faith. I then asked him how he could eat faith. And I don't mean the slayer from BtVS." The others laughed.
Lana smiled. "What was the second guess?" Chloe tilted her head.
"He then said love. Again, I asked him how he could eat it. He then made the remark that you can eat candy hearts." She shook her head. Pete and Clark were chuckling while Lana was grinning.
"I could tell he was getting very much aggravated." She smirked. The others laughed.
"Chloe, what's the answer? We promise we won't tell anyone." Lana asked. Chloe shook her head.
"Nope! Lex has to figure it out on his own and if you want to know, you'll either have to wait or figure it out yourselves." She told them. Pete grumbled something under his breath and Lana was giggling, but Clark was staring past her with an amused grin. Chloe glanced over her shoulder and grinned devilishly. Lex was walking towards them with a determined look in his eyes.
"Miss Sullivan! I have a new guess. Is it knowledge?" Chloe blinked. Then she slowly shook her head in the negative. Lex scowled.
"You can eat knowledge?" She asked, amused. Lex smirked.
"Adam and Eve." He retorted smartly. Chloe gave him a puzzled look.
"What are you talking about?" Lex smiled.
"I'm glad to see you don't have a retort for everything." He told her, pleased. Chloe gave him a look, much to the amusement of Clark, Pete and Lana who were watching them. Pete had a bag of popcorn that he was sharing with the other two.
He glanced at Clark. "I'm so glad I brought this!" he mumbled under his breath. Clark and Lana snickered quietly.
"Very funny Bald Eagle. What did you mean?" Chloe retorted impatiently. Lex raised an impassive eyebrow.
"Patience is a virtue, Miss Sullivan." He reminded her. Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Just not one of mine." she countered. Clark couldn't help it, he snorted. Glaring at her former crush, Chloe turned back to Lex.
"Well?" Lex gave her a satisfied grin.
"After Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, they were sentenced to die. However, God made an exception and simply banished them from the Garden of Eden." He explained, settling down on Lana's quilt. Without really noticing it, Chloe handed him a sandwich. Chloe tilted her head.
"I didn't know you read the Bible." She said. Lex gave her a look but didn't bite.
"Lex, you went to college, correct?" Chloe asked him.
Lex nodded. "Yes, I did. Why?" Chloe smiled.
"Did you know that eighty percent of the kindergarten students who were asked this riddle got it right on the first try compared to only seventeen percent of Yale Seniors who had three guesses?" she asked smugly. Lex set his jaw.
"Are you saying that a kindergarten student is smarter than me?" he asked.
Chloe smirked. "If the shoe fits." she trailed off. Lex stood up. Nodding to Clark, Pete, and Lana, he turned to Chloe.
"Miss Sullivan, I will figure this out. And when I do, I expect you to have more manners for the week you will be my assistant." His blue eyes pierced into her face and Chloe felt a tingle go down her back. His eyes flickered to the parking lot where a blue Porsche had just pulled in. Chloe glanced at the driver and set her jaw. Helen was leaning out the window, waving for Lex to go over. Chloe gave Lex a strained smile.
"I'm sure the good doctor is more important than four high school students. I have to get home anyway. Later." Lex looked at her surprised as she took off at a dead run. He turned back to Clark.
"What's with her?" he asked, puzzled. Clark and Pete shrugged but Lana got a knowing look in her eyes. Lana stood up and smiled at the three men.
"As much as I liked this picnic, Chloe was right. We should head home. I have a book report due Monday. Bye." She gathered her things then walked in the direction Chloe had taken. Clark shook his head as he glanced at the mess the ladies had left for him and Pete.
"Woman. Can't live with em, can't live without em." Pete and Lex nodded.
"Very true. I'll see you later, Clark. Bye." With that he turned around and jogged over to his fiancée. Clark gave Pete a dry grin.
"Why do I put up with those two?" he asked, meaning Lana and Chloe. Pete gave him a look.
"Because Chloe's your best friend and you have crush on Lana." Clark blushed. Pete just smiled, shook his head, and knelt down to clean up. Clark sighed.
"One of these days, I would really like to see them pick up for a change." He mumbled. The only response he got was an agreeing chuckle from Pete.

Hope you all like this so far! Thanx to everyone who reviewed the first chappy. I'd name ya'll, but ff.net won't let me check out the names. *pouts*. In the last chappy I'll have a list of all those who reviewed! I know some of you have guessed and yes, some of you may have it. However, for those of you who haven't guessed, as well as those who have, ya'll find out the answer the riddle in the last chappy. Don't worry, I'm only going to make this four chappies. *grins* Hope ya'll like!
I will be updating this on Wednesday, May 14th. I will also have the results our Student Council elections. I'm running for Student Body Secretary. I'm not sure if I'm gonna win or not. I'm going up against a girl named Kylie and a guy named Lawrence. Kylie is going to be a freshman next year (my school's K-12) and Lawrence is gonna be a junior. I'm going into my senior year *jumps up and down*.
Kylie is not well liked in the High School (or the Junior High now that I think about it), she's snobby and full of herself. Lawrence is kinda well liked, but he was the sophomore class President and didn't do anything. Neither did the VP. The secretary (which was me; long story) and the Treasurer (a chick named Donna) had to do everything. A lot of people know about that and everyone pretty much knows he can't really be relied on. So I guess I have a pretty good chance. Still, wish me luck! I just might need it. Always me, BashfulC!
