Chloe and Whitney were brought out of their laughing as they heard the
sharp voice in front of them. Chloe immediately knew who it was that
spoke. Clark. What was he doing there? Chloe could barely bring herself
to look into his eyes. The moment she did she regretted it. Lana was
standing right beside him with her hand tightly wrapped around his arm as
if claiming him as hers. 'She has the right to do that, Chloe. He is hers
after all.'
"Kent. Lana." Whitney stated through gritted teeth. Clark glared at Whitney and gave Chloe a confused look while Lana just stared at them in confusion.
"Hello Clark. Lana." Chloe whispered softly staring at them through sad eyes.
"Hey…" Lana was cut off, however, as Clark quickly spoke in an angry tone.
"What's going on here?" Chloe sat up straighter as she heard the angry tone in his voice. She had never heard Clark sound like that towards anyone. He was such a nice person naturally, that she couldn't bring herself to picture him being rude to anyone.
"Excuse me? What do you mean is going on? We were talking, Kent. As if it were your business." Whitney bit out sharply. Clark's eyes narrowed at the comment.
"What are you playing at Fordman?" Clark questioned in a higher tone that caused a few of the customers to look over.
"Playing at? I'm not playing at anything!" Whitney yelled back in defense.
"Come on Whitney. You are just trying to get back at me by hurting Chloe." Chloe's eyes widened at his harsh comment and jumped up in outrage.
"Clark! That's it! I don't know who you think you are! You can't just come in here and accuse him of trying to hurt me. Like you haven't done that enough! We were having a nice conversation until you came and ruined it. Why should you care anyway? Aren't you dating Lana now?" Chloe spit out Lana's name in anger as she continued to angrily pound into Clark.
After Chloe was finished Clark stared down at her in surprise. She had never yelled at him, or anyone, like that before.
"Chloe…I…" She held up her hand and cut him off.
"It's too late. You acted like an arrogant jerk today and frankly I don't want to talk to you right now."
"Chloe…its Whitney." Whitney's eyes narrowed in warning as Clark said this but Chloe placed her hand on his arm calming him. Clark noticed this, which only further fueled, is anger.
"What about Whitney? Right now, he's the only friend I've got." She yelled.
Clark's eyes sagged a bit in sadness after she said this and Lana tightened her hold on his arm.
"I'm your best friend. I would never hurt you. He would only hurt you." Clark pleaded reaching his hand out but Chloe stepped back.
"No, you have hurt me. You hurt me." Chloe held back a sob and grabbed her jacket and purse. She glanced at Whitney in a teary gaze before running out of the beanery. Whitney grabbed his jacket and turned to glare at the couple.
"I hope you know what you've gotten into." Whitney turned and ran outside after Chloe.
Lana turned to look up at Clark who was sadly looking at the door that Chloe had run through. She furrowed her brow and examined him. Clark loved her. He had always liked her and she liked him. Why was he so mad that she would be hanging out with Whitney?
"Clark. That was a little harsh don't you think?" Lana said pulling him down to sit at the just vacated table. Clark sighed and nodded as he stared at his girlfriend.
"What have I gotten into? I must have really hurt her by dating you. I knew she didn't like you but gosh!"
Lana almost laughed out loud at her boyfriend as he placed his head in his shoulders. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and smiled.
"Clark, she never liked me because you liked me." Clark sat up with a confused look on his face and Lana giggled.
"What?"
"Clark! For such a smart guy you can be stupid! Chloe likes you! She's always liked you! Not like a sister either!" Lana let this sink in for few moments. Clark closed his eyes in pain and he placed his head in his hands.
"Oh no. What have I done? I never knew… I really hurt her. Through out all of these years that I've liked you and talked to her about it she's never said a word. What have I done?" Lana hugged her boyfriend once again and grabbed his hand.
"It'll work out in the end. I have to do something to make it up to Whitney also. He seemed so upset. What will we do?"
"I'm not sure. I feel bad about what I said also. I never meant to hurt Whitney's feelings. I was just so used to him ragging on us that when I saw him with my best friend…"
"You thought he was up to no good. It's okay Clark. I know Whitney, though. He's a good guy. You have to admit though, those two looked a bit cozy." Clark agreed with Lana and smiled as he pictured his best friend and the guy that tormented him for years together.
"Very interesting. Come on, let's go to my house and watch a movie. We can figure something out later." Clark grabbed her hand and they walked out of the beanery.
From the corner of the coffee shop Lex Luthor placed the newspaper down and smiled. He stared at the door that his friends had left through.
"Whitney and Chloe. Interesting indeed."
