Chloe Sullivan walked over to the printer in the Torch office and waited as it spit out a single white piece of paper. She had been working last minute on an article to fill up the rest of The Torch. Clark walked into the office and placed his bag down on a desk. A small affectionate smile spread across his lips as he watched his best friend Chloe intently read through the paper that she was holding.
"Hey Chloe." Clark said startling her.
"Oh hey Clark. Sorry I didn't see you standing there."
"That's ok. So what were you reading?"
"Nothing really just some unimportant last minute thing just to finish up this issue of The Torch."
"Oh ok well looks like there isn't much for me to do around here then so I think I'll just head out. I'll see you…"
Before Clark could finish his sentence he was almost knocked over by someone racing through the doorway. When Clark caught his balance he saw a guy that looked to be about his age standing in front of him, staring at Chloe. He was a very handsome guy. Clark watched as Chloe looked at the guy. Her eyes lit up and she flashed one of her famous smiles that lit up the whole entire room. The guy rushed over to Chloe, embracing her in a strong tight hug. He practically knocked her right off of her feet and picked her up and spun her around. After a long moment he finally placed her back on the ground and released her from his arms. Clark just stood there looking confused.
"Well, well, well if it isn't little Chloe Sullivan. All grown up I might add" The guy said with a huge grin on his face as he looked Chloe up and down.
"Oh my god Hunter! I can't believe you're here." Chloe said, almost to happy to contain herself.
"I believe the last time I saw you I was chasing you around with a dead frog." Hunter said, letting a genuine chuckle escape from his lips."
"Ah hem." Clark cleared his throat loudly, still waiting for Chloe to introduce him.
"Clark!" She said noticing him again. "Clark this is Hunter James. Hunter this is Clark, Clark Hunter."
The both nodded at each other.
"So Hunter it seems like you know Chloe very well."
"Yeah Chloe and I were best friends since we were in diapers back in Metropolis."
Clark wasn't sure why but when he heard Hunter call Chloe his best friend a strong feeling of jealousy shot throughout his entire body. He gave them both a weak smile.
"Well you two should catch up. I got to get going."
Clark left the office with jealousy still running in his veins. Also something about Hunter didn't quite settle well with him.
