When the bell rang, he waited for the teacher and received yet another lecture. As the teacher finished Clark ran to his next class. He was one time, hadn't hadn't forgotten about any homework. He breathed a sigh of relief to have a break from the angry teachers.

About halfway through class he felt a tap on his shoulder. he glanced back to see Pete handing him a piece of paper. Clark quickly took it and quietly opened it full of curiosity.

Hey Clark
Bad day? Are you alright? Something wrong?
let me know!
Love Lana Lang

Clark felt butterflies fly into his stomach as he re-read the note over and over again. He scribbled something back and for the first time that day he let out a full on smile.

He turned to hand the note back to Pete, but another hand snatched it. "What have we here?" His teacher's voice came out of the air. the teacher read the not to himself. "Perhaps Mr. Kent, you could place your love life on hold for an hour during this class." He said snidely.

Clark's face turned the color of red kryptonite he nodded slowly and watched his teacher rip the not and throw it into the trash.
As Class ended Clark raced out of the room before his teacher could catch him. He moved quickly through the halls to a safe place where no teacher dared to set foot.

The TORCH.

Clark slipped into the Torch and let the door close behind him hoping to be unnoticed by any teachers. He let his back pack fall to the ground and laid down on the love seat. A smile came across his face as he thought of the note he had received. His thoughts than shifted to the exceptional beauty who had passed it to him. Her beautiful shiny dark hair. Those hazel eyes you could stare into forever. That slim figure of her body. Her waist was thin, he could wrap both his hands around it. And then there was her smile. It was one of his two weaknesses. He grinned as he saw her image appear in front of his eyes. This was his favorite day dream.

"Hey Clark." she said, a light seemed to glow about the image.

"Hello beautiful," he thought in his mind and smiled even bigger. He slowly began to raise his hand towards the
dream.

"Clark...Um...Clark are you alright?"
