Chapter 2, tried to get this in as quick as possible, hope ya like it!
"Clark! I want chocolate!" Lana still whined, so Clark reached into his bag and pulled out a Hershey bar, and handed it to Lana. Lana giggled enthusiastically, and Clark waited for Pete to get to them.
"Hey man," Clark started, "look at Lana, she is acting like an absolute child! I don't know what is going on."
Pete stood for a moment and looked from Lana to Clark and then spoke. "Hey Lana, Where did you get that chocolate?"
Lana looked up and Pete, she was sitting cross-legged on the pavement, with the wrapper torn open and melted chocolate covering her hands. "Clark gave it to me, because he didn't get me my princess!" She took another bite from the chocolate bar.
Pete turned to Clark, "I want chocolate! I thought we were best friends! But now your friends with a icky girl!!!" Lana looked up at him and stuck her tongue out in an obnoxious way, she had chocolate on her tongue, and she was teasing him.
"Ah, Pete, man, not you too! What is going on with this school!?!? Clark heard the lunch bell ring as the everyone left their rooms, but Clark watched as how most of the classrooms were empty, "that's not usual," Clark started, he watched as a line grew at the counselors door. He saw Chloe Sullivan waiting in the line, he turned to Pete and Lana.
"Hey , guys...if you wait right here... you can have more chocolate!" They looked up at Clark in interest. "You cannot leave this spot. Wait right here." After that, he ran to go catch up to Chloe.
Chloe rolled her eyes, Why is everyone in line? When I was called to the office, I didn't expect the whole school to be in line also. "Chloe!" Chloe turned around and looked to who had called her name. Clark was running up to her. He got to her. "Chloe, do you have any idea what is going on?" He asked.
"You know, one by one, all through the day kids have been called down here, and they never come back to the class, and I was finally called, and there's a line. I have to find out what is going on, were you called down to the counselor?"
"Yeah, no...wait, I was called down to the office to pick up my lunch..." he stated, the words had already formed in his head, and just came out without having to think about it at all.
Chloe looked at Clark. "Um, Clark, I watched you put your lunch in your locker this morning, why would you be called down to pick up another lunch? And since when would Mrs. Kent drive down here to drop off your lunch?" Chloe asked him. Clark's face went blank.
"I have no idea..." Clark thought about it, and remembered, he indeed had put his lunch in his locker... and why would his mom bring one to the school? She knows he has money.
"Clark, what exactly happened in that room? Why didn't you go back to class?: Chloe questioned him.
"I-I-I don't know, I cant remember, last thing I remember afterwards is that I was holding a bird in my hands, and I let it go, and Lana started to cry..."
"Woh Woh...Lana cried? When did this happen? And why? Over a bird?" Chloe was in utter confusion. Clark grabbed her hand and pulled her down the hall, out to the courtyard. Chloe watched as Lana was sitting on the ground and swinging a half a chocolate bar, which looked all melted in her arm, and Pete, yes Pete, was yelling at her and wrestling with her to get the chocolate bar. "What the..?"
"I have no clue what has been going on, they are acting like kindergarteners and it's like they have no clue they are 16 and 17 and in high school. I had to bribe them to stay in one place, I think they would run off if I hadn't have."
"This is incredible, if we find out the source of this.. Here comes my Pulitzer prize. This would be such an amazing article..."
Clark was shocked. "Chloe! These are our best friends! Pete Ross and Lana Lang! We have to help them!" Pete and Lana were now full body wrestling, and Lana was holding tight to the chocolate bar. They heard screaming behind them as Clark and Chloe turned around. Two seniors were racing each other, and the girl was screaming. Clark was about to tackle the boy down, but he realized they were laughing and giggling.
"Guess it is not just Lana and Pete. We have to find the source of this, I don't want us two to be the only mature teens in Smallville." Chloe turned around, "Hey Lana, come here, I got a present for you." Lana sat up instantly and ran over to Chloe.
What is it? What is it? Tell me! Tell me!"
"Hard to believe this is all-serious Lana Lang." Chloe snorted and Clark nodded in agreement, it was so hard to believe. Clark turned around while Chloe spoke to Lana and watched as pretty much the whole student body was outside, playing around. They were all children, why hadn't Chloe or himself been effected? He knew his memory lapse had something to do with all this, of course, being from Krypton, and not being human, nothing should be really effecting him and even if he was, only for a short period of time.
The loud bell rang as Clark pondered over what to do with them, now that school was over, his dad was expecting him home to do his chores on the farm.
"What's going on? What is on my face...what? Chocolate?" Clark turned around and watched Lana as she stood up and looked at her sloppy appearance and wiped the layer of chocolate off of her hands and face.
"Looks like she has snapped out of it, finally, it seemed like eternally babysitting your best friend, and not getting paid for it." Chloe said, helped her steady herself and pointed to her face, showing Lana where she missed a spot of melted sticky chocolate on her chin.
"It is not just her, look, everyone is coming out of this." Clark replied as he watched as other students stood up and rubbed their heads, looking around. "Welcome back Pete," Clark smiled slightly as his friend stood up and gained his balance.
"What happened man? I'm so confused, I was on my way to the office...and I ended up here, wait, is school over?" Clark nodded as Pete shook his head in utter confusion.
"Looks like we got another case of weirdness in Smallville" Chloe said, turned on by the challenge.
"Chloe! Chloe Sullivan!" Chloe turned to search for the source of the voice. Someone who seemed oddly familiar, but he had never met before. She walked to Chloe and faced her. "I called you down to the office, but I am afraid you never showed up, find and see me tomorrow, I have something you might find useful for your newspaper." Chloe stared into the woman's blue eyes and nodded slowly, Chloe's eyes clouded. She turned to Clark and flashed a smile. "Nice to see you Clark." and she walked off, towards the parking lot.
"Who was that? I have never seen her before. She seems familiar, but I don't know her... how did she know my name?" Clark turned to Chloe, but her gaze was still dazed and lost. He poked her lightly as she blinked a few times and turned to Clark.
"That was the new counselor, Miss Akashan I think." Chloe replied and walked away, leaving Clark to deal with the still confused Pete and Lana.
More as soon as possible!!! I don't own any Smallville characters.
