Chapter 5: And then the barn
*A/N: Just had an odd day, so this chapter is more angsty than the other ones, but don't worry. My funny muse and I shall only be parted for long enough to give this story a plot.*
Okay Clark. Hey, did you know that I have a thing for Lana? Yeah. I used to have a thing for you, but now that you're gay, I've realised that I am too. But I'm not actually gay. I'd say I'm bi. Well, if one third of the earth is gay, and the other two thirds isn't, and one third of those two are men, and half the other third are women, then I have a shot with more of the population than a straight person, or a gay person. And if I'm lucky maybe one will ask me to this bloody prom. I mean, if there's 6billion people out there, then she had a chance with at least 25 million people, and surely one of them would ask her to the prom.
"Chloe, I'm sure someone will ask you to the prom."
She'd been having her conversations out loud again. She really needed to stop that. It was getting disturbing. Hey Clark. What are you doing here?
"This is my barn, Chloe. Do you know where you are? How many fingers am I holding up? Nurse! I think we need some help over here."
Clark could always make her feel better. Oh crap. She was thinking about Lana just before the prom rant, wasn't she. Not good. Hey Clark. So how much of that conversation did you hear.
"The part which started when you entered the barn."
No really? Sucker punch him.
"Ow." You know what I mean goof-ball.
"The part just before you started messing around with the world's gay statistics."
Oh crap. That isn't too good. Play cool. Let him bring it up. If he asks, then I'll tell him about her.
"Who?"
Dammit! I should stop thinking altogether. That would solve this problem pretty well. Nothing Clark. I just, used to have a crush on you. Crap. I know that was out loud. She looked up at his face just in time to see the sentence register on his face, but he let it slide.
He knew that she said lots of things she didn't mean to say. That's why he tried to get her organised. Him and Pete figured that if they could get her together. She wouldn't reveal things like that unintentionally. But he knew she wanted to talk about it. And he was still her friend.
Clark I-
"Chloe. We need to talk. I know I never told you guys I was gay, but lately it seems like our friendship has a bit of a rift."
Wow. Being gay has really had an effect on his personality. He's so open. Well, Clark. I have something I want to tell you. I like Lana.
"Huh?"
And I think she might like me to. And I don't know what to do about it. I seems so...
"Weird? I know how you feel. You forget that I was gay first."
You know, they say that it's pre-determined at birth?
"That still makes me gay longer than you."
Well...I'm not gay, Clark, I'm bi.
"The school begs to differ."
Excuse me? Well that's news. She was so going to start rumours in the Torch about whoever started that one about her. Clark has such a hot laugh. Well what do they have to say about me? I'm curious.
"That if Lana was any more obvious that you would trip over her. Funny, they used to say that about you and me. Guess who did the tripping" and he winked slyly at her.
Great red blush, badly covered up with the million dollar smile. Thanks for that Clark. Can we do this chem homework now. If I don't get it finished now, I don't know what I'll do. I can't read my to-do list, so I guess I'll have to write another one.
"Here. I'll help you"
