Hey thank's ya'll for reading it, here is the next part.
Clark's best friend Chloe Sullivan was standing in the doorway. Lana quickly slipped her hand out of Clark's grasp and moved away from him. Clark hid his disappointment and looked towards Chloe.
"Nope, Lana was just apologizing for the incident last class." Clark said giving Chloe a believable smile.
"That's some way of apologizing." She muttered turning to hide the hurt in her eyes.
"What's that Chloe?" Clark asked having heard her say something"I...I... I said do you have your article down yet?" she turned to face him and asked him coolly.
Clark's face gave her the answer. "Oh Chloe, I am sorry. I totally..."
She cut him off. "Clark, don't be sorry that won't write up the article." She barked after him surprising herself with the tone of her voice.
Lana looked at Chloe, she knew what was really wrong. "Chloe I..." she tried to explain.
"Lana don't say anything, it's got nothing to do with you. Clark just didn't do his job again." She cut in but didn't take her eyes away from Clark's. "Now if you'll excuse us, I have to discuss the problem with my reporter." She said without any emotion.
Lana wasn't surprised. She nodded and stood up slowly. "Sorry again Clark!" she whispered as she walked past.
"Don't worry about it Lana." He said giving her a reassuring smile. She walked right past Chloe without saying a word. Chloe still hadn't taken her eyes off of Clark.
She waited to hear the door close. "Clark, this is a newspaper room, not a get away to make out room!" she said bitterly finally taking her eyes from him and moving towards her computer.
"Chloe that's a little extreme don't you think?" Clark questioned, but got no reply. He continued. "I came in here to hideout from the teachers. She came in to apologize, that's all!" he insisted. Chloe looked at Clark with a bit of annoyance in her eyes.
"You have time to 'apologize'," she said emphasizing the word, "But not to finish your article?" She threw at him. Clark was taken aback.
"I'm sorry Chloe, I've just had a lot on my mind."
"A Lot of Lana..." Chloe grumbled ignoring Clark's curious eyes. "Well if you'll excuse me, I have an article to write, and put the paper together before this afternoon." She sat in the chair, and glued her eyes to the computer.
"I..." Clark started. "Sorry Clark, some of us can't talk, we have to work." Clark turned to leave but heard her grumble.
" I wish I got an apology like Lana's." He wanted to say something, but decided now wasn't the time. He walked out into the hall and let the door close behind him
