Love at First Kryptonite.
It was a cold Monday morning on June 7th, as Olivia walked down the sidewalk past the Talon. She debated with herself about stopping for a cup of Coffee or maybe a cappuccino. She had to get to school, and she knew that the principal wouldn't appreciate her tardiness. She sighed; she could really use the caffeine. On a final note, she walked on, deciding she'd get one later. She still had Biology, and then the rest of her long day. She only wished summer would come already. Why was it talking so long anyways? She stopped for a moment, turned around and walked in the opposite direction. She needed that coffee. Maybe today she'd skip; it wasn't like anyone was going to stop her.
Ding. The bell on the door of the Talon rang as she walked inside. Mrs. Kent was at the counter as she walked up. She smiled, ordering one cappuccino. Olivia waited at the counter for approximately 3 minutes before the cappuccino came her way. She lifted the cup to her lips, taking a small sip, before sitting to listen to a lecture. Mrs. Kent was rambling on about school again. So before this went any further Olivia answered with a simple "Yes Mrs. Kent, I'm on my way" and stood.
Ding. The bell rang again as Olivia walked out of the small Café. She strode down the sidewalk towards Smallville High. She had a full day of classes ahead of her that she really did not want to participate in. She turned again, fighting with herself. She wasn't going, It was final. Where would she go for the day? She couldn't go home, her parents were there, Well, Her mother was there. The Loft. That was it! She would go hang in Clark's loft for the day, they were friends, he wouldn't mind. Ahh, Grr. She had to go to school she knew it. No matter how many excuses she made up, she knew she had to go.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Finally, reaching the school, she walked right in. She didn't stop to talk, or chat, or just stand and listen. She walked right in. Olivia walked down the main hallway, stopping beside Clark. She opened her locker and grabbed all the things she needed for Biology.
Do you ever feel out of place? And no one understands you
Gawd. She didn't feel like she belonged here. She had just shown up two weeks prior to day. For all she knew, they could all think she was some government experiment. For all she knew, they already did. She just didn't know what to do with herself anymore. School wasn't her top priority, it never was, and no one could seem to understand that.
Do you ever wanna runaway? Do you lock yourself in your room? With the radio on turned up so loud, That no one hears you screaming
She didn't know why her parents came here, or why they brought her. She was content in Metropolis. She didn't know why she had to leave her friends to come out here… To the country. She hated it here, well, she hated most of it. Some of it she was glad about. Like Clark. That boy had secrets, Secret's she was willing to find out. Secret's that she'd stay around for.
No you don't know what it's like, When nothing feels all right, You don't know what it's like, To be like me
She smiled a wary smile at Clark as she headed off for Biology. The first couple classes hadn't been so bad, and then everything seemed to go down hill from there. Things just didn't feel normal in Smallville. Well, nothing was ever normal with her, but just… her kind of normal. It just wasn't right, something was going on. Especially with the Kryptonite.
Do you wanna be somebody else?
"What's wrong?" Clark asked her, eager to know. She was usually the chatty type. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then a Miss Lana Lang came by. She caught Clark's eye. Lana Lang, with her raven hair and dark eyes. Perfect little Lana Lang. Why? Why her? It was obvious Olivia had a thing for Clark, but she just wouldn't admit it to herself. Why couldn't she be perfect? Or even catch the one boy's eye she really cared about?
Are you sick of feeling so left out? Are you desperate to find something more? Before your life is over
Why was she falling for him? He was just a farm boy. She couldn't see why she had any interest in him. Maybe it was his smile, or his eyes, or she just didn't have a clue. She knew she had to make sure everything was clear with him, but why? Why couldn't she just have a normal, teenager life? With flings, and crushes, and summer love? But no, she had to be like this. She didn't want to live out her life like this, she never had, but she didn't really have much of a choice.
Are you stuck inside a world you hate? Are you sick of everyone around? With their big fake smiles and stupid lies, While deep inside you're bleeding
She didn't even know why she helped? Oh yes, of course, there was that 'forced' factor. She sighed for, what? The fourth time that day as she headed off towards Biology. They had lied to her before; she had no reason to trust them again. She couldn't believe this. Her parents of all people, profiting off her, and the worst part, not one person in Smallville high knew.
Finally, Classes ended. She headed off towards the mansion. She passed the lightly tarnished gates and went inside of her house. She was met with the angered faces of her parents. They, once again, lectured her on school work and top priorities, the stuff parents lecture their kids on.
"Mom, Dad, I'm fine" She threw her bag on the ground and headed out. She headed towards the Talon for a coffee. She picked one up and headed for a table. Once seven o'clock had come and passed, Olivia decided she'd better head home.
Upon leaving the Talon she took a breath of the cold night. She smelt what she hadn't expected to smell, Kryptonite. A smile spread across her face as the young girl looked both ways. No, She wasn't going home, She was going somewhere else. The Loft.
After about fifteen minutes, Olivia reached the house. She wandered out back towards the loft and smiled when she saw him with his telescope through the window.
"Clark!" She smiled. She saw her and once again pushed the telescope away from what he was viewing. He answered her with a simple "Hey there, come on up." She smiled and took the offer, approaching the stairs. She climbed the stairs, and walked across the floor.
"Clark" She repeated herself. He turned to her. "Hey, It's go-" He couldn't finish. She had already grabbed his shirt, pulling him closer to her. She had stopped him with a finger to his lips. "Shhhh" was all she said as she brushed his lips. He pulled away from her, as much as he didn't want to, they were strictly friends.
"What's up with you!" He asked her. She seemed different lately. She answered him simply with a 'nothing' like she did to everyone else. It was defiantly red Kryptonite, and Clark could smell it too. Both of them took a deep breath, smiling at each other before... well, I think we all get the jist of it. A kiss, That's right. Suddenly the smell vanished.
"Woah woah, What're you doing?" She asked, and eye brow raised. He raised one as well, "You came onto me" He answered. A shocked expression was on Olivia's face. "I did?" She asked and he answered her with a 'yes'. She smiled, she had made the first move, and it didn't seem like Clark was objecting to it. She kissed him again. It was strange, how she trusted him.
"Clark?" She asked.
"Yes?" He answered.
"Come with me" She grabbed his hand, leading out of the loft, leading him away from prying eyes.
