A/N: I didn't get very many reviews for chapter 6…. :(
But, I can forgive you! Here is the next chapter. Thank you for reading my story!
Emily woke up to sunlight filtering through the window.
She didn't want to spoil the moment by opening her eyes, but one thing Emily had always disliked about herself was the fact that she was lazy.
She opened her eyes, and found herself staring at a red T-shirt.
What…
She shifted her eyes upward, and saw Clark's sleeping face.
Her eyes widening, she suddenly became aware of his arms wrapped tightly around her.
Emily used her x-ray vision to look through Clark and check the time.
8:05.
"Clark! Wake up!" she said.
He sighed and shifted slightly, but showed no sign of getting up.
Emily smiled. He's so cute when he sleeps.
She was debating on whether to let him sleep and be late or not, when there was a knock on the door.
"Clark," Martha said, "you're going to be late for school. I'm going to go and wake Emily up."
Emily heard Mrs. Kent's footsteps fade, then she began to panic.
"Clark!" she said, a little more persistently this time.
When he still refused to wake up, she poked him sharply in the chest.
"Clark Kent! Wake up!"
He slowly opened his eyes. "Wha….oh!"
Emily rolled her eyes at him. "Good morning," she said, kissing him lightly on the cheek.
Then she super-sped to the barn, hoping she beat Martha.
In seconds Emily was in her bed and under the covers, pretending that she was asleep. Five seconds after that Martha was trudging up the steps saying, "Emily, it's time to wake up!"
Emily feigned waking up. "Is it that time already?" she said in a fake-tired voice.
Martha smiled. "It sure is. Actually, I'm surprised Clark slept this late. Living on a farm, we're usually early risers."
Emily smiled back. "Well, I'll just get ready then…"
At school, Emily and Clark couldn't stop smiling at each other. They knew that they cared about each other now, and they were happy. Unfortunately, they were also worried about what happened to Jor-El.
Emily was scared about their upcoming "meeting" with him at the caves Clark had told her about.
It was lunch, and Emily was sitting with Clark, Chloe, and Lana.
Chloe and Lana were laughing about something a football player had done, but Emily and Clark were busy playing footsie and gazing at each other.
They were lost in each other's eyes, not noticing a thing that went on around them.
"Clark, helloo…" Chloe said.
Clark snapped his gaze away from Emily. "Huh? Did you say something?"
Smirking, Chloe said, "I only asked you a question, about five times."
"Oh…"
Chloe rolled her eyes. "Now that I have your attention, can you write that article about Lex or what?"
Emily noticed Clark slump a little. "Chloe, I don't want to do anything that will hurt my friendship with him," he finally said.
Chloe was about to reply when Emily cut in. "I could write an article for you," she said.
Chloe seemed surprised, but she accepted anyway. "Sure. I didn't know you liked to write, Emily."
Emily nodded. "I worked on my old school's magazine back in Oklahoma," she said, shrugging.
After lunch Emily and Clark had to part ways. Clark had math while Emily had gym.
"Bye," they said at the same time.
Man I hate gym. Why does it have to be the one thing than can fill an empty space in your schedule?
Emily was pulling her gym clothes out of her gym locker when the teacher approached her. "Emily, would you take this to the yearbook director?" she asked.
Emily took the note. "Sure," she said.
"Let's see…that would be out by the football field. Great, I get to go outside," Emily said to herself as she was walking to the room.
She was walking outside enjoying the fresh air when someone came up behind her.
Emily stopped walking, sensing the person. She turned around to face her follower.
"Clark…"
'Clark' punched her so hard that she went unconscious.
In math, Clark was supposed to be doing the quadratic formula, but he was really just doodling Emily's name everywhere. What seemed like hours later, the bell rang.
"Finally," Clark said, standing up and grabbing his folder.
Clark was in the hall headed to his locker when Lana came running up.
"Hey Lana," he said.
"Clark, Emily's missing!" Lana said, a worried look in her eyes.
"What? What do you mean?" Clark said, feeling panic rise up in his chest.
"Ms. Rathman asked her to deliver a note to another teacher, and Emily never came back." Lana turned to pick up a book she had dropped, and when she turned back around Clark was gone.
A/N: Sorry it's short. Here's the next chapter. So, how about more reviews this time, huh? The Spooky Mulder
