Chapter Three

Clark ran out of Lex's Mansion at the speed of lightning. When he got to where people would see him, he slowed down to a simple jog. At last he reached his destination, the Talon.
Clark walked in. When he made eye contact with Lana he smiled at her and she smiled back. Lana was wearing a blue denim skirt and a purple shirt, with her hair pulled back into a ponytail. She looks great, thought Clark.
Clark has had a crush on Lana for as long as he could remember. For a while she had been dating a guy named Whitney, but then he decided to join the Marines. He had died while he was in combat, and Clark had thought it would be awkward asking her out right away, after all, she had become very close to Whitney, but it had been a while so he might as well give it a shot. "Hey Lana"
"Hey yourself" she said
"Listen, do you, uh, do want to go out sometime?" Clark asked her, a little nervously.
Lana looked at Clark curiously and asked " Like on a date?"
"Yea a date, I was just hoping that we could put the past behind us and start over." Said Clark, as he silently prayed Please say yes!
"Okay, when?" asked Lana
Clark smiled, " How about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow's good." said Lana "Where are we going?"
"Well" Clark began "I was thinking we could just go out for dinner and a movie, if that's all right with you."
"Of course it's alright Clark," she told him.
"Well, I'll pick you up at seven o'clock then," said Clark
