"Chloe!" Clark called after her down the busy halls of the school. She turned around, stopping in the hallway.
"Chloe, I've been looking all over for you," Clark caught his breath as he stopped to talk to her.
"I'm a busy girl Clark," she smiled jokingly as she continued on down the hall with Clark beside her.
"Chloe, I'm sorry to spring this on you but I need your expertise." Chloe stopped, shocked.
"I don't know if I like the sound of that," she squinted an a, looking up at Clark smiling. She laughed then continued on.
"No, I need your researching expertise; I was hoping you could look up someone for me." They stopped in front of the Torch office.
"You're lucky, it just so happens that I have a few extra minutes to spare." She sat down in front of a green Mac computer, logging in.
"Lemmie guess," she smiled slyly, "you wanna look up that new girl Dana Wells, get some info so you can impress her." She waited for the screen to change.
"Well sort of…" Clark watched as the main screen came up. Chloe's face straightened not hearing what she thought she was going to.
"Okay…" She typed Dana's name into the space on the screen.
"Well I think there's something strange going on with her, something's not right." Chloe felt a bit better at this.
"I just need a second to get a hit," she sat patiently in front of the screen. Clark found another chair and pulled it up beside her.
"Oh here, Dana Wells, Wow, there's not much here." Clark leaned closer to the screen. "It says here that she grew up in a shelter in Metropolis. She's been there since she was 3." Chloe looked over at Clark who was deeply fascinated with the info on the screen. He scanned the words until something popped out at him.
"It says here that she was put into a specialized counselling center for unusual behaviour," he pointed to the sentence.
"You always pick the odd ones Clark," Chloe smiled to herself. He shot a knowing look, and read the rest of the page.
"That's it?"
"That seems to be all. What, you didn't find what you were looking for?" Chloe elbowed her friend who now had a disappointed look on his face.
"No, I just thought there'd be more."
"Well that's it Clark, she doesn't seem to have very many secrets," she folded her arms into her chest and leaned back in her chair.
"Thanks Chloe, I really appreciate it." He gave her a pat her on the shoulder.
"Anytime." The sound of the lunch bell filled the room.
"I'm starved; you wanna get something to eat?" Chloe met Clark by the rood of the room. He looked deep in thought. "Clark?"
"Uh, yeah, I'll meet you in the car, save me a seat."
"Sure thing," she smiled back and walked cheerfully down the hall towards the cafeteria. Clark headed for the school door, stopping at the sight of Dana coming up through the parking lot.
"Dana," he opened the door and met her at the middle of the steps. She kept her head down as she hurried up to him.
