A.n. hey people! i'm very happy u like it. this chapter's a little short, but that's how it goes sometimes :oP

enjoy!

The next day was Saturday and Clark was half happy that he didn't have to face Lana in school yet. For some reason, it was all he could think about. He wished there was something - anything - that he could concentrate on instead of Lana. He tried splitting a pile of wood for his father, but even that didn't distract him. He constantly hit the wooden logs too hard causing then to crunch into wood chips. After the tenth crushed wood block, Clark admited, "I'm sorry, Dad. I guess I'm just side-tracked."

"That's alright, Son," Mr. Kent confirmed as he put an arm around Clark leading him to the stairs just inside the barn. "You do seem a little worried. Do you want to talk about it?"

Clark sat down reluctantly on the steps not sure if he really wanted to talk to his father about this. But there really wasn't anyone else he could confide in. "It's about Lana - the girl that hangs out in my loft sometimes."

"What about her?" Mr. Kent asked with sudden concern.

"Well, I guess it isn't totally about her," Clark corrected still feeling awkward. "It's more about my secret and the fact that I can't tell her."

"Did she see you doing one of your abilities?" Mr. Kent wondered standing over his son dominantly.

"No, she's just been curious as to why I haven't opened completely up with her." Clark then stood looked at his father seriously. "Dad, this girl is so beautiful and so caring. I don't want to lose her because of my secret."

Mr. Kent opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it and sighed. "Clark, I know at this age you are attracted to alot of girls like Lana - "

"No, Dad, Lana isn't like any other girl. She's the first one that's ever liked my artwork. She's the first one I - " Clark only just stopped himself from saying 'kissed'. "Well, she's the only one I've ever really felt this way about."

"Son, you may think that this girl is the right one for you now, but what happens if you tell her and it causes you two to drift apart? I know it's hard, but you're at the age when you experience alot of relationships."

"Dad, how can I have relationships when I can't trust people enough to really know me?"

There was a short pause. He stood closer to Clark and said slowly, "I know you're different from everyone else and I know how much you must really like this girl. I just don't want you to regret telling her."

"In other words, your telling me not to tell her," Clark stated downtroddened.

"No," Mr. Kent corrected causing Clark to looked at him with a surprised expression.

"You're saying you actually want me to tell her?"

"No," Mr. Kent stated negatively as he smiled, "I'm telling you to follow what you feel. Your mother and I have taught you well and we trust you to do the right thing."

Clark gave his father a sour look. Mr. Kent added, "But if you ask me, I wouldn't tell her. Not yet anyways."

With that, Mr. Kent left his son alone to think over their conversation.

The next morning Clark opened his eyes resting just a little more before getting up to start the day. He sighed and finally decided against telling Lana his secret. It might hurt him, but at least he would stop Lana from getting hurt. He couldn't imagine someone attacking her solely because she knew Clark's secret. Yes, telling her was too dangerous and it should never happen.

'It's inevitable, Clark,' His Heart whispered inside him noiselessly. 'You will tell her soon enough. Love defies all obstacles.'

A.n. review please! I have a feeling somebody's gonna be doing a chant pretty soon...:oP
