'Yeesh, what a messed up first day.. Fighting, pushing, and whining over a guy I don't even know!' She pulled her horse out of its stable and walked over to the open fields, needing some time alone. A soft breeze, warm day, perfect for riding. She kept thinking of Clark though, how he was so sweet to her.. He probably just felt bad, but hell.. 'I didn't get sick around him! He wasn't wearing that damned bracelet, maybe he broke it at practice.. Either way, it doesn't matter, it's not like I'll be talking to him anytime soon..' With all the commotion in her head, she didn't even notice Clark leaning on the fence watching her saddle up the horse. Only until she got up and started riding towards the gate did she notice his heavenly pools of green and blue staring at her with the biggest grin she'd ever seen. 'What the.. What's he doing here?' She rode over to him, noticing he had a box of flowers resting beneath him.
"Hey," He looked up at her, "I, uh, got the flowers and pies that your mom ordered.." 'Of course, why would he be here for you Lana, I mean Com'on girl, really.' She fought with herself , trying to think of something to say. "I Uhh, er…" She put her hand up to her head and shook it.
"Sorry, its just one of those days your brain doesn't wanna work with you.. You can just give them to my mom, she's inside." Lana said, forcing a smile, regretting what she just said. Clark just followed her cute embarrassment with a laugh, "I hate that, I've been getting it ALL day.." He said flashing his pearly whites. 'Wow, I would've never thought..'
"Well.. I..I better get going," Lana stumbled over her words, about to ride off but Clark stopped her. "Wait, Lana." She turned back in pure shock, wondering why the big man Clark Kent would want anything to do with her. He looked down, "I'm sorry for the way Chloe acted, I mean she was a complete.." Clark tried to finish his sentence but the almighty forgiver Lana, looked at him and crinkled her nose in laughter.
"Com'on Clark, its not your fault now is it? Why are you apologizing for something you didn't even do" Her hazel eyes looked down and him, and he laughed too. "Yeah, I guess." Lana noticed the sunset was beginning as she looked at it in awe. It was the most beautiful one she'd seen in months, the blue and purple blended and shaded perfectly with the orange and red flames of the sun.. Lana wrestled with herself whether or not to ask him if he would like to watch it from her loft, but before she could his soft voice called out. "Wow, that's beautiful.. You must have a great view" He looked out to the sky in amazement. "Yeah..Say, would you wanna come watch it with me?" She hopped off her horse, heading for the stables. "Yeah, of course."
'Wow, she's so sweet, I wonder why I never talked to her that often.. I'm glad I conned Mom into letting me drag the goods over here, I wonder why I have this sudden urge to talk to Lana now.. I wonder how she feels about me." He smiled and followed Lana into the stables, watching her carefully place the horse inside and take off his gear. "Sorry buddy," She said softly, petting the horse's head. "Follow me, Clark." She said, her face screaming excitement. She took his hand, feeling a surge of electicity flow up him, as she led him through the barn up to her loft. Clark looked around astonished by the decorations and lights that lit up the room, he stood there his head twisting and turning.
"Whoaaa, this is awesome! Its like a another addition to your room!" He yelled in shock, she was so much more different than he imagined. Almost like him. He turned around to see her leaning against the windowsill of the loft, looking out to the sky, her eyes glittering with liveliness and entertainment. "Why thank you," She laughed, "Come over here and watch this with me, its really beautiful" He sauntered over, and watched the sun slowly set its way beneath the hill tops and the stars fade in with the dark night sky. "Wow, what an amazing view..It really is beautiful up here!" Lana grinned and threw herself onto the hammock, swaying left to right.
"Say, Lana." Clark looked at her, she looked happy. "You own the Talon right?" He perfectly well knew the answer the that question, but he wanted to find another reason to talk to her. She was very interesting and he felt like he could open up to her about anything.. Like the mask was lifted off and she could see his every last thought and intension. She looked at him upside down, "Yes." He grinned at her innocent look of confusion, "Well maybe I should stop by there and we could talk some more.." His voice faded off as his eyes began to lock with her deep dark green-hazel eyes that seemed to be delighted. "Yeah, of course. But I don't think Chloe would like it." Clark folded his arms, "Lana, we aren't married ya' know." She laughed at his serious face, he soon gave in to her sweet laugh.
"I know.. If you have time just stop by, everyone hangs around there." They smiled at each other, "Well, I better be going, my mom is going to kill me if I don't get home by dinner." Clark waved, "Oh wait, Clark. I forgot to ask you.. What happened to your bracelet?" Clark looked up in surprise, "Heh, the one with the meteor fragments on it?" Lana nodded, so it was from the meteor rocks. "I lent it to Chloe, I just hope she doesn't loose it.." He looked down, knowing her. "Is it special?" Lana leaned in listening in more intensively. "Yes, its from the meteor.. That killed my father." Clark felt a wave of sadness flow over him. "I'm so sorry." Lana looked down into tears.. "It's okay, Lana. It's not your fault." He laughed, "Anyhow, I'll see ya later.." Walking down the steps, he felt his heart jump up when she said goodbye back. 'Lana Lang, what are you doing to me?' He laughed at himself wondering what exactly that he was feeling.
'Oh, god.. I killed his father..' She felt like she could die. The man that she had loved for the past 13 years, she had smooshed with one of those damned rocks that she came to earth with! 'Ohhh great, hey Clark! Guess what? My spaceship decided to come here with big assed rocks and squash yer dad! Wow, isn't that terrific!' She sighed. At least, with Chloe and the bracelet, she could have more of a chance to talk to Clark. Someone she felt an odd feeling that she could relate to him more than anyone, and she's only 'truly' known him for a day or so now.. He's so much sweeter than I last remember, making me weak at the knees, my spine tingle with delight.. 'Clark Kent.. Hmm, are you man or superman?' Lana found herself skipping down the stairs of her loft with a huge grin on her face. But of course, that wide grin wouldn't be unnoticed by her mother.
"Hmm, Clark Kent walking in with pies and flowers, Lana Lang returning the next hour with a silly face that looks like she's loved him for the past 13..Oops, that already happened.." Laura looked up at Lana with an arched eyebrow and a grin. "Mom! Clark actually talked to me, and he doesn't hate me or thinks I'm a complete idiot!" Lana danced around the kitchen, kissing her father on the cheek as she ran up to her room. "And what was that all about?" Lewis asked with a slight smile on his face. Laura just smiled and placed plates on the table. "Her prince in shining white armor has finally come to the rescue" She explained, slightly laughing at her choice of words. "I wouldn't be surprised if she'd be the one doing the rescuing" He said with a slight smirk, referring to her abilities. "That's the part, Lew.. There's always been something different about that boy too." Mr. Lang put his paper down and looked his wife in the eye, not exactly knowing what she meant.
Lana sat at her bed, day dreaming of Clark like she had on her regular schedule. She walked over to her window where her telescope lay. She peered inside, looking around at the sky before slowly drifting the lens down at Clark's house. 'Ah, Damn, he isn't out..' She made a pouty face and looked back into the scope. She saw Chloe on the steps, she seemed pissed off. 'Woo! Maybe he broke up with her.' With that slight encouragement, she stood straight up and did a victory dance, not noticing her visitor at the door. "Now that's cute." Lana's heart stopped when she heard that familiar deep voice, she spun her head around to find Clark in her bedroom. "Cla..Clark! Ah-Hi! Whadd'ya doin here?" Lana stuttered completely, making a fool of her self, only to be greeted by a chuckle and the flashing of his million dollar smile. "I wanted to stop by.." His teal eyes were dancing mischievously as his dark curls seemed to be styled much differently, very messy but also very, very hot.. Lana felt a hard lump clasp its self to her throat as Clark walked closer to her with a wide grin. "Oh, really.. That was nice. Is that Chloe on your steps?" Lana turned around, eager to loose his firm gaze and grin. "I guess she's still sulking" Lana couldn't help but get an extra boost of joy and curiosity. "Oh, really? How come?" Lana turned to him completely, being pulled into his charm, his scent, his body.. "I dumped her." Lana's heart skipped a beat out of pure joy, but that wouldn't compare to what he began to say.. "Because the truth is Lana, I love you." Clark pulled her into his arms and slowly leaned down to kiss her, she gladly accepted it. Soon their kiss was full of passion and excitement, she couldn't believe this was happening. Their kiss broke as she put her head on his muscular chest, "One more thing Lana" He looked down at her and she tilted her head up to meet his gaze once more. "It's time to get up"
Lana could've screamed as she heard those last two words, and the shaking of her mother. She just let out a long groan and screamed into her pillow. "Awww Mom! You ruined it!" She whined as her mother walked away with a smirk, knowing exactly what she meant. After about a half hour of getting dressed and ready, Lana prepared herself for the disappointment that may come. 'God, he probably forgot all about yesterday.. That probably was a dream too, right.. Yeah, don't keep your hopes up Lang.' She thought to herself as she walked down her drive way, waiting for the bus that drove her to the hell that would become. 'Mmm, such a sweet dream..' She stopped at edge of her mile long driveway, leaning on the big mail box, dazing off into dreamland until a voice snapped her back into reality. "Hey, Lana!" She twisted her head over to Clark's house, watching him waving. 'Yayy! He didn't forget about me, ok Lana don't dance just yet.' She smiled sweetly and waved back "Hiya Clark" He gave her a Kent smile and walked over to her. 'Oh god, he's coming over, is my hair alright? Damn where's the bus! Run me over before I act stupid and like fall, eesssh!'
He arched his eyebrow, "You're taking the bus, eh?" Nodding, Lana turns a little red.
"We kinda totaled the truck so I can't drive.." She looked up at Clark, who was laughing, his chocolate colored hair bouncing with each laugh.
"I can just imagine." A brief silence went through them before Clark piped back in. "Say, would you like me to drive ya' to school? I always hated that bus.." He asked, putting his hands behind his back. Struggling, Lana tries to figure if she'll be tortured by it or not..
"Wouldn't Chloe like come and murder me, I don't think she'd like it." Lana looked down, dreading what she just said.
"And I care? I didn't like what she did to you in the hall.. Oh and don't worry, I'll protect ya." He said in a soft tone. He took her hand and ran across the street, pulling her into the truck. He put the keys in the ignition, backed up and headed for their destination. Smallville High.
