Clark got offers from three different girls to have lunch at their tables before he finally reached Lana and sat down next to her.

"You sure are getting friendly with the ladies of Smallville High," Lana teased smiling.

"Or they're getting friendly with me." Clark poked at his lunch trying to avoiding eye contact with any girl besides Lana. Why did life have to be so confusing? Why couldn't he just kiss her right then and there and get it over with?

"So, any luck with that girl?"

"Girl?" Then Clark realized. "Oh! Oh...not really."

"That's a surprise," Lana said taking a sip of her drink.

"So you're trying to tell me that every girl in the entire school likes me....because I wore this stuff?" Clark asked baffled.

"Everyone that I know does. Especially the shirt." Lana decided to stop talking. She was swimming in dangerous waters.

Clark looked down at his black shirt. That was the one thing making him the most uncomfortable. "Really?" He looked up at Lana hopefully. "Even you?"

Lana stared at Clark silently for a moment. If she said yes, it would sound a little awkward since she was with Whitney. If she said no, she'd be lieing. Clark looked at her expectantly.

"I've always thought you were an incredibly nice guy, Clark," Lana admited truthfully. "Your clothes definitely don't change that."

Clark smiled selfconsiously. It wasn't an 'I think you're hot, Clark.', but it was something.

RING RING

"I guess I'll see you around, Clark," Lana said standing up.

"Yeah." Clark then suddenly added, "Maybe we could get together after school and study for that english on Friday."

"Oh, could I get a rain check on that? Whitney and I are going out by the lake to watch the sunset," Lana said with an apologetic face.

"Sure. I-I hope you have fun," Clark retorted smiling fakely.

Lana wisked off to class. Clark sighed realizing that if it was just going to be Whitney and Lana together by the lake, Clark was going to be in the shadows whispering words that he only dreamed he could really say to Lana Lang.
Clark followed Whitney and Lana as they walked, hand-in-hand, to the small cobblestone bridge that stretched over Crater Lake.

It was dusk. The sky was blending together every color of the rainbow and the sun rested on the edge of the horizon. Clark couldn't believe how amazingly beautiful it was. From the direct center of the bridge, Whitney and Lana stood awed by the view they witnessed.

Clark looked around trying desperately to find a safe place to coach Whitney. He finally decided on the spot under the bridge would be the best. Slowly, he made his way in the patch of grass between the lake and the belly of the bridge trying not to fall off balance and crash into the water.

"What are you thinking right now?" Lana asked her boyfriend looking at him brightly.

Whitney listened to his friend under the bridge, then said, "I'm thinking how magical it is to be with you."

Lana felt Whitney wrap his arms around her waist from behind her and smiled. "I can't believe we're here...together."

"I - " Something it Clark made him stop. The feeling made him stop. The feeling he'd been pushing away since Clark had spotted Lana on the first day of high school. This was wrong. What was he doing?

Meanwhile, directly above Clark, Whitney stood with his girlfriend in a pregnant silence. Maybe Clark had said something and he just couldn't hear it. He leaned over the edge of the bridge ever so slightly...

"Whitney? Are you okay?" Lana asked concerned.

"Wha? I mean...uh...yeah, I'm perfectly fine...uh...babe." Whitney began to feel nervous. He didn't have a way with words like Clark did. What was Clark doing? Whitney moved a little more towards the railing of the bridge...

SPLOOSH!

Whitney had fallen into the cold waters below in a belly flop. Clark stared at Whitney from his hiding place too shocked to laugh. To make matters worse, Lana came rushing onto the scene on the opposite side from where Clark was.

"Whitney! What - " Lana stopped when she noticed Clark pressed against the bridges stone wall. "Clark? What are you doing under here?"

"I - was just - "

"It's okay, Clark. Save the excuse," Whitney interrupted defeatly as he stood up dripping wet in his soggy clothing. She turned to Lana and said, "I invited him to tag along."

"What?" Lana asked bluntly. "Why?"

"Because he was helping me talk to you. I'm terrible with conversation, so he volunteered to listen in and whisper stuff to me," Whitney paused realizing he looked and sounded absolutely pitiful. "I'm sorry."

Lana stared at him unblinkingly and then turned to Clark. "You offered to do this?"

"....yeah," Clark confirmed meekly not sure of what else he could say.

"You mean," Lana continued obviously growing more angry with each second, "Whitney really didn't think up all that when we were on the bleachers? You were hiding somewhere feeding him fake words of comfort?!"

Clark opened his mouth to say something but Lana stopped him.

"And I thought I could actually trust you." She then turned to Whitney with tears now streaming down her face. "We're through."

"Lana..." Whitney whimpered weakly.

She whirled around and raced away. Clark chased after her but then stopped and shouted, "Wait, Lana! Those words....they weren't fake! That's how I feel about you!....Lana!"

Rain began to fall soaking Clark and Whitney. Whitney remained standing in the middle of the lake while Clark was frozen in his spot in the road that lead out of Crater Lake. The drops of rain beat down on them mercilessly.

Lana continued to run. And run. She didn't want to stop. She didn't want to think about the words she'd just heard Clark scream as she flew away from her problems.
