*~*~*
The next day came too quickly. Clark was shocked awake by the sudden impact his face had with Pete's pillow. He drug himself out of bed and into the bathroom slowly remembering all the crazy things that he'd witnessed the day before.
After the bathroom, Clark's next stop was downstairs where the teachers were serving breakfast. He wasn't sure what there was to eat. Then again, he really didn't care.
His mind was far from food. He was thinking about the attacks. And about his relationship with Lana. He thought about each one for so long they were beginning to blend together into one gigantic day dream.
"Watch where your going!" an angry student exclaimed as Clark nearly smashed into him has hoppd down the stairs.
"Sorry." He really had to stop day dreaming about things for too long.
He shuffled his way to the back room which, when he opened the doors, he found to be large spacious place stuffed with as many tables and chairs that it could hold. Everyone was seated except for the teachers who manned the larger tables near the front which bared all the food.
Clark made his way through the breakfast line grabbing anything that looked appealing. He ended up with tray full of bacon, scrambled eggs, and toast. He snatched a small glass of milk before he rushed over to join his friends at a table near the back corner of the room.
"Hey guys!"
He sat down next to Lana and Pete. Jason, Lance, and Lena sat on the other side. Clark looked around and noticed that Leah and Chloe were sitting alone together. Pete obviously hadn't solved things with Chloe.
'Never thought she'd go so low as to sit with a cheerleader,' Clark thought.
"Hey Clark!" Lana greeted sincerely.
Clark grinned broadly at her causing Pete roll his eyes.
"We were just talking about the attack on Chloe last night," Lance explained to Clark.
Pete kept his mouth shut and suddenly became very interested in his scrambled eggs.
"Do you have any idea what happened?" Clark asked trying to keep the conversation going.
"No, not really. But I overheard Chloe on her cell phone this morning in our room. I think she's meeting with those kids today," Lana informed as she poked at her french toast with her fork.
"I say we follow her," Lance stated firmly.
"I don't think that's the best idea. What if she catches us?" Lana wondered wanting to know Lance's answer.
Lance swallowed a wad of bacon and replied, "I dunno...play dumb."
"Oh yeah, that'll work with Chloe," Pete agreed sarcastically.
"Listen, I know you guys really wanna know what information Chloe has, but I'm sure if any of it is really important she'll let us know," Lana assured giving the table a long stare.
"I think you're givin' her too much credit," Pete concluded shoveling the remainings of his breakfast into his awaiting mouth.
Lana glared at him unbelievably.
"So, what're we doing today anyway?" Clark asked trying to change the subject quickly.
"Dunno. Mr. McDaniels will probably tell us."
They finished their breakfast and a few minutes after that, they noticed Mr. McDaniels get up and walk out into the middle of the room. His hands were raised as if to silence the place. Surprisingly, it worked.
"Alright. I'm sure you're all eager to get today started so I'll explain what we're doing," he began looking down at a pad of paper in his hand as he slipped on his familiar spectacles. "First, we'll be taking a bus to the Eerie Planetirium. After that, we'll head back to downtown Eerie until five. At that time, we'll be visiting Nelson Park where the Eerie citizens are holding a festival. I'll advice you all to stay in the festival and don't go running off by yourself. At eight we'll head back here. And that seems to be all for today. Any questions?"
"Well, we've already been to the park so we won't be missing out on anything special," Pete mumbled to Lana and Clark - his fellow troublemakers.
"Question, Mr. Ross?" Mr. McDaniels said causing everyone in the room to stare at him.
Pete sunk down into his chair.
"No, sir."
"Alright then. Finish up your breakfast and then meet me in the bus outside."
*~*~*
'This is so stupid. I can't believe I let myself do this,' Lex told himself as he cruised past the numerous Eerie houses in his silver porsche.
Earlier that morning he'd replied to the e-mail he'd recieved the previous the day explaining that he'd reached Eerie and wanted to know how he could learn more about their information. They'd answered not too long after that; they gave him an address and time. Reluctantly, Lex decided he should follow their orders.
When he reached the destination of the place, he noticed that it was a plain white house with a wide porch and beautiful blooming tulips in the flower bed. He slowly stepped out of his car and made his way to the house.
"Hey! Pssst!"
Lex stopped on the porch and turned to see a boy's head peeking around the left corner of the house.
"You're Lex Luthor, right?"
He hesitiated before answering, "Yes."
"Great. Just follow me," said the boy suddenly disappearing from sight.
Lex quickly turned the corner just time to see the boy racing into the garage. He gave out a large sigh and walked briskly towards it.
"Listen, I think I'd like to speak with your parents," Lex explained as he entered the place.
The only light was the sunrays glowing onto the weird objects that were set carefully on a shelf to Lex's right. A creaky desk was opposite this and a short curly haired kid was sitting at it staring at Lex kindly. The boy who had beckoned Lex back into the strange room was standing next to him.
"No. It's us you want to talk to."
Lex suddenly realized.
"Oh no. Don't tell me - you two sent the e-mail?"
Their facial expressions answered his question for him.
"Oh gees," Lex exclaimed as he whirled around and headed for the door. He quickly stopped and changed his direction heading back to them causing the tail of his coat to swish around his knees. "How did you find out about this?"
"Calm down. We're trying to help you," Simon stated standing up afraid that Lex was going to flip the desk over.
Lex glared at them both with serious eyes.
"You better tell me everything you know...now," he said as calmly as his temper would let him.
"We met with Chloe Sullivan if you know her. We're trying to find out what happened to her friend who was attacked. It was something invisble that choked him and it was laughing. We thought it was a ghost so we uncovered this story about four kids who were lost in the forest where Chloe's friend was attacked. But it's a fake and we found out that Howard Ford - the guy who wrote it - works for your father as a chief executive at Luthor Corp."
Lex remained silent for a while and then retorted, "You're right. It's a fake. I found that out a long time ago. My father offered that huge job to Howard and all he had to do was write one phony story. Personally I thought it was very sloppy of him."
Simon and Marshall exchanged looks.
"So, if it was my father who did this, why did you e-mail me?"
"Because, we figured your father wouldn't be open to help us. Surely you know the real story behind it," Marshall stated firmly.
"Please, I know you don't care about us, but we're trying to help Chloe and her friends. If you know them then you'd - "
"I do know Chloe and all her other friends," Lex interuppted strongly as he sat down in the nearest chair. "And that is the only reason why I'm going to tell you what really happened that day."
Marshall and Simon looked at each other and then reluctantly sat down to hear his story.
