Still don't own anything other the Samantha or the plot. Yeah. --
7:00 AM
"Ready for school?" Martha asked turning to Clark and Samantha. Each wore a plain t-shirt and jeans, looking more like twins even with their scars covered up.
"Yes," they chorused as Clark swung his backpack over his shoulder and Sam picked up her messenger bag.
"And I get to be the lucky chauffeur," Lex said jokingly. "And don't I look the part?" he asked spinning around this time in black slacks and a red silk shirt. After he'd dropped Sam off at the farm he went home, changed, and came back. "I'll be outside when you're ready," Lex said walking out of the house and walking over to the wooden fence and leaning against it.
A few minutes later Samantha walked out and spotted Lex leaning against the fence and walked over to join him. "Hey," she greeted leaning against the fence as well. Lex mumbled his own greeting, clearly lost in thought.
After a few moments of silence Sam looked down and saw a daffodil growing, near her foot. She smiled and bent down, picking it from the ground and holding it in her hands. "Thank you," she said looking at Lex who turned his head to look at her as well. "For last night, with the whole nightmare thing, they've never been that bad before, but thanks for being there," she said handing him the flower and smiling.
Lex looked down at the flower amazed how such a small gesture could hit so close to home.
"Come on! I promised everyone they could meet Sam this morning, let's go!" Clark shouted from the car. Sam and Lex smiled at each other before turning and heading to the driveway.
"Showing me off already Clark?" Sam asked climbing in the backseat.
"Well let's see, you're my sister, you made friends with Lex the fastest I've ever seen it done, and you can probably kick my ass without kryptonite involved at all, so yes showing you off is my plan," Clark said turning in his seat and smiling.
"And how many people will know about that last part?" Sam asked looking at Clark intently.
"Only Chloe, Pete, and Lana, they all know about me so why not you? And seeing as how Lex knows already, we can skip the obsession and investigation part."
Sam laughed nervously as they pulled out of the driveway and headed to Smallville High, for yet another Monday, and Sam's first school experience in the town were people have secrets they never tell anyone…except their best friends of course.
Friday 3:30 PM
Sam had officially survived her first week at Smallville High and found friends in Lana, Chloe, and Pete long distantly as well.
"What are we doing tonight?" Sam asked kicking a small pebble as her, Clark, and Chloe started walking.
"Well Lex invited all of us to his house to hang out, but I don't think Lana can go," Clark replied.
"Since when does Lex Luthor invite people over just to hang out?" Chloe asked.
"I don't know, I think we've had some weird adolescence effect on him," Clark said laughing.
"So I take it that if no other offers pop up we'll be at Lex's, a.k.a. my home until the addition is on the house," Samantha asked. "And by the way, I talked him into this hang out idea last night at dinner, he said it would be and I quote, 'the first chance he'd be able to relax all week,' and I had to ruin his weekend," she said a small smile playing on her lips.
"Jeez you love ruining his good times don't you?" Clark asked laughing.
"Love to hate, right Sam?" Chloe said laughing slightly. Sam had spent a lot of time with Chloe while Clark and Lex hung out, Lana popping in and out for girl time every so often. By this time Chloe had weaseled it out of Sam that she had enjoyed spending time with Lex to the point that she would do homework in his office while they both stared at their laptop screens casting furtive glances every so often at each other.
"So tonight we are at the Luthor household?" Chloe asked for clarification.
"Yup," Clark and Sam chorused.
"Okay," Chloe said turning to face them as the group stopped walking. "You two have to stop doing that or I'm putting you both on the Wall of Weird.
"What?" Clark asked. "All we did was pull a twin thing."
"You've been pulling twin things since the first night you met, it's been getting out of hand, you both always have the same urges whether it's for food or what to do for the night. It's just…odd," Chloe said.
"Thanks," Clark and Sam said together once again. Chloe let out a frustrated sigh.
"That's it, on Monday you two are on the Wall of Weird," she stated as the group approached the street.
"Need a ride?" The voice of Lex Luthor asked as he pulled up in his favorite black car.
Sam bounced on her heels and said, "I call shotgun," before running to the passenger side and climbing in. Clark laughed when he saw Lex blush at Sam's excitement and nudged Chloe who smirked when she saw before Clark opened the door for her and let her in.
The four sped off to Lex's house Chloe and Clark calling home on the way to inform their parents.
