Consequences Come With Everything

I was waiting for Pete to show and I started thinking about everyone I knew.  Pete, my boyfriend, is the same as ever, constantly joking and laughing.  Gosh I love him for it.  He can make me crack a smile whenever I feel bad, even in the pits of despair he can pull me out.  Fortunately those pits of despair are never caused by Clark anymore. 

Clark… the undeniably most delicious guy in the town, well with the exception of mine, is well, he's different.  He's been hanging out with Lana and Lex more lately, but since Lana came home last night from a date with Clark crying, well, I'm thinkin that maybe things are at smooth on that road as they used to be.  Clark, well, Clark could have almost any girl in the town on a silver platter, and well, NOW he knows it.  Actually, there is only one girl that he can't have-ME.  Unfortunately, he knows that too.

Lana… hoo, where do I start? Lana is sad more often.  She thinks that know one knows, maybe no one else does, but I know.  She has started wearing mini skirts and black revealing halter tops or tank tops and high heeled mid-calf boots.  She's not the innocent Lana anymore, she's the Lana to match the infamous black leather clad Clark, the celebrity duo. 

Lex, let's just say that he's as evil as ever, but is only now beginning to show it.  Some of it has rubbed off on Clark.  My lovable friend is gone, and now it is only the Clark that you can't think of anything else other than how you'd not like to meet him in a dark alley…I'll let you take it where you want.

Clark sauntered up to me as I was waiting for Pete (in broad daylight thankfully), "Hey Chlo'!  How YOU doin? (A/N: lol, couldn't resist!!!)  I haven't seen you in a while."

"Oh, hey Clark," I replied flatly, "I'm doing fine, I've been busy.  And you know that you haven't been too easy to track down."

"Oh, yeah, about that, I'm sorry, I have just been a little busy with stuff."

Phish- Does that stuff have a name? Because she certainly looks like she'd have a name.  And that YOU'D be very familiar with that name.  And since when does he just get off acting like he's GRACING me with his presence? Ugh, he's sooo infuriating, yet, unfortunately he's still cute, in a well, junior high crush way.

"Too busy for your BEST friend?"  I batted my eyes at him, trying to catch him off guard while looking for Pete.

"Never, Chlo', I'm sorry, I'll be around more, I promise you."

Ugh, again, what's with that simpering look?  Wait, nope it's more like he wants to open his large stupid mouth and swallow me.  PETE, where ARE you?

"Can I ask you a question?"  Clark moved to block my view of the street.

"Do you have to ask?"  It's not like I have a choice while the 'man of the hour' is soo late!

"Chloe," Ugh, he's touching me!  Wait, he's PULLING me toward him!! EWW!! "I want you to know, well that I haven't been able to stop thinking about you, it's tearing me up inside.  Chloe, I want to be with YOU.  I know that you thought that I was all over Lana, but it was just because I was afraid of telling you how I feel about you." 

Oh my gosh!! It's my fairy tale ending!! Only, wait…. I don't feel like being the princess after all.  I could say yes, and date him and get him to propose and get engaged and all and then leave him at the altar, but man! I don't wanna kiss the slugger, actually all I wanna do is slug him.  So she dumped you Clark? I have sooo fallen for this one before.  Never again.

"Clark you have NO CLUE how long I have waited to hear that from you!  Only…" 

YES!! PETE'S HERE!!! FOR GET ALL THAT JOKING ABOUT BEING THE MAN OF THE HOUR, PETE YOU REALLY ARE!!!!  Now, for my famous exit…

"I got tired of waiting for you, and well, I have found a better offer.  Anyhow, thanks for taking time out of your 'important day' to come and talk to me, hope you can find ANOTHER rebound girl."

 HA! I did it!! I stood up to CLARK KENT, former love of my life, thank goodness it's former, I'd hate to think of the blob I would have turned into if he had flashed that grin at me.

I walked to wait for Pete, turned and gave Clark my famous 100-watt smile.  I got into Pete's car as he pulled up to the curb, and we drove off.

"Nope, Chloe, you're the girl that I WILL have.  Pete or no Pete.  It WILL be you.  I promise," Clark turned and walked away toward his new BMW that Chloe hadn't noticed.  "Thanks to Lex, babe, you are gonna be mine, and are definitely gonna be sorry for the day you ever said that to me."

If only I had seen or heard this maybe things would have been different.
