"Halley James?" Mr. McDaniels stated loudly over the bustling crowds of highschool students who were crammed around the extremely old depot of Eerie.
"Here," Halley responded quickly.
"Alex Karter?"
"Yeah, I'm here," a grumpy senior shouted dully.
"Clark Kent?"
A brief pause.
"Is Clark Kent here?" Mr. McDaniels asked the Smallville citzens openly. He pulled off his glasses for which he needed to read the fine print of the attendance list and scanned the area carefully.
"He's a little behind. He went to wake Pete Ross who over slept on the train," Chloe informed hoping Mr. McDaniels heard her over the many other kids deep in gossip about the train.
"By himself? And he didn't care to acknowledge this to me?"
Just then Clark and Pete could be seen walking, heads down, toward the others. They knew Mr. McDaniels was staring at them demonically.
"And what, Mr. Kent, made you think you could linger behind the rest of the group and mingle with Mr. Ross?" Mr. McDaniels asked firmly as the chatting of the others died down.
"I wasn't mingling. He didn't wake up in time -"
"Why didn't you tell me this when I asked if everyone was off the train?" Mr. McDaniels asked Clark who was beginning to redden and look a little embarassed.
"I just - forgot. I'm sor -"
"Twenty minute detention for both of you," Mr. McDaniels spat out cutting off Clark's nervous apology.
Clark was taking back and wanted to argue but knew it would get him no where. Pete knudged him in the side and lead Clark through the crowd towards Chloe and Lana.
Mr. McDaniels glared at them sturnly and then slipped his spectacles back on to read the remaining names on the list.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, I will briefly go through our schedule for today," Mr. McDaniels said straight-forwardly as he folded up the list and stuck it in his coat pocket along with his glasses. "First, because of the generous offer given to us by Lex Luthor, we will be stopping by the Presidilla Mansion to drop off our things and find the rooms we will be staying in for the whole trip."
"Why would Lex let Smallville High use one of his mansions for a little trip like this?" Chloe asked mainly to Clark.
"Probably just trying to be nice. Lex is a lot diffrent from his father then you think, Chloe," Clark answered giving her a look that ended the conversation.
Chloe stared at him a little clueless as to why Lex would even buy a mansion in Indiana in the first place but decided not to acknowledge it.
"Next, we will ride a bus to the Eerie Museum and take a one to two hour tour through the entire building. After that eventful stop, the bus will take us to downtown Eerie where you all may scurry about with your friends to eat and blow your money on fake souvenoirs until seven when the bus will stop in front of the Eerie Police Station to drop us off at the mansion for the night. No one without my permission is to leave the mansion after that. Now, are there any questions?"
"Yeah, where are all the clubs?" Roger, a junior with blue hair and a pierced ear, asked as he broke into a goofy laugh with his friends.
"There are no clubs in this town, Mr. Flemming, and only one bar which no one under the age of twenty one is to be admited into. If you want to have fun you can go ahead and empty your pockets at the arcade."
There were a few grumbles and moans.
"Yeah, yeah everyone on the bus. Let's go!" Mr. McDaniels ordered as a white charter bus with thick layers of mud covering its sides pulled up next to the depot and sqeaked its brakes loudly.
Lana started to pick up her things.
"Here Lana, I'll get those for you," Clark offered sliding her bags on his shoulder along with his own.
She would've refused if he hadn't taken them from her already. And he didn't seem to be struggling.
"Um...thanks, Clark," Lana said sincerely.
"No problem. Hey, could you save us some seats towards the back? Pete and I have to tell you and Chloe some thing," Clark wondered seeing as Lana was the only one not being held down by luggage.
"Sure. Thanks again for taking my stuff," Lana stated still pondering why Clark had offered to take her bags, but not Chloe's or Pete's.
He flashed one of his amazing smiles at her.
"It's okay, Lana. I got em."
"Okay."
And with that she hurried through the others to save some spots on the bus.
*~*~*(this was the original ending to this chapter, but i thought it was too short. lol. thank me L8r (o: )*~*~*
Sure enough, Lana found some seats in the very back of the bus and saved them while her friends slowly made their way towards her.
After they set their baggage down, Chloe sat in the seats across the row from where Lana was sitting and Pete quickly took the place next to her sending Clark a quick wink.
Clark gave Pete a look that said, "You never stop playing Mr. Matchmaker do you?" and nervously sat down next to Lana who smiled at him happily.
"Okay, so what's this you have to tell us?" Chloe asked curiously. "Pete said it's Wall Of Weird material."
"Sure is," Pete agreed seriously.
"Well, what happened?" Lana asked eagerly as the bus started forward.
"I'm telling you, it's nuts. You'll think I'm crazy," Pete warned.
"Just tell us already!" Chloe pratically yelled.
"Alright, alright. Okay, so I'm in the train sleeping, right? And I hear this funny noise like a flute. And people laughing. So I wake up and I'm looking around trying to find out where this noise is coming from and it leads me off the train and out into the forest. And when I'm about halfway in, it becomes quiet. So all the sudden it hits me that I'm out here all by myself and I turn to head back and I see this - this man. At least I think it's a man. It's wearing this black cape to cover its face and it just kind of launched itself at my throat - not really at me - he just wanted my throat. And it was laughing too. A really creepy laugh. Right before he got hold of me, I screamed for help and then he got my throat. I struggled for a few minutes and then it dropped me when Clark came."
Chloe and Lana stared at Pete in awe.
"Wow," Chloe stated dumbfoundedly.
"Why did you go out in the forest in the first place?" Lana asked detectively.
"I don't know. The flute sound just sort of lead me out there. And the laughing sounded like some other students messing around and I wanted to know what was going on."
"Are you sure you didn't see any part of its face at all?" Chloe wondered.
"No, no it was - it was almost like it didn't have a face. Like it was invisible or something."
"Maybe some one else found that invisibility stuff that Jeff discovered a while back in Smallville," Chloe guessed logically.
"But this is a totally diffrent state. And that wouldn't explain the weird sound leading Pete out into the forest," Clark answered sensibly.
"Well, I guess we never get a break from weirdness," Chloe admited showing a confused smile.
"We should keep this to ourselves for now, though. Just until we figure out more about this thing," Lana informed tactfully.
"Right. Maybe at the museum we'll find something about it," Clark said agreeably.
Everyone else silently agreed and the back of the bus became quiet.
Clark tried to lay back and relax, but the Eerie roads were extremely bumpy. Plus, he couldn't get he mind off Pete and his attacker. Was it really an invisible man who lead Pete out to the wilderness and nearly choked him to death?
Suddenly a partically large bump knocked Clark out of his thoughts. Lana had also been unprepared for this and her hand jumped onto his sqeezing it gently.
Clark looked from their hands to Lana's face. She grew slightly redder and reluctantly slid her hand off his.
He smiled at her pointlessly. She returned it and then quickly looked over at the window.
Clark looked away from her and sighed.
He had felt the flirtatious way she let go of his hand and suddenly realized that maybe he should stop waiting for an opportunity to make a move on Lana. Maybe he should create one.
Yeah, that's what he should do. Lana wasn't going to wait forever. He then promised himself that by the end of the trip, Lana would definitely notice his feelings for her.
And he would start as soon as the bus stopped in front of the mansion.
