Ch. 2 Realization Clark's POV

Chloe left a least a half our ago, I just kept thinking about what happened tonight. I was very confused.

I'm glad Chloe knows and I know I can trust her. And I know that not what's bothering me. I always said to myself that I was going to tell Lana one day. But I told Chloe I wasn't. What made me say that? I guess in the back of my mind I knew I couldn't really trust her. But why did I invite Chloe to the movies in Lana's place? Lana just told me she wanted to see that move. I'm in love with Lana.

I walked over to my telescope and looked over at Lana. I stared at her and tried to remember the things I loved about her but I kept thinking about Chloe.

Her smile, I love her smile. But Chloe's smile brightens the whole room. Wait! No! Lana. Umm her laugh. She has the sweetest laugh. But when Chloe laughs I can't help but laugh too and Chloe is the smartest kindest girl I've ever meet and she has a great since of humor but wait! Where did that come from? Lana, uh Lana is uh…pretty! Pretty Lana is very pretty.

I looked over at Lana she was still up. She's very pretty. But for some reason she didn't look as perfect as I once thought.

Maybe if her hair was shorter. Or if she had blue-green eyes, or if she was blonde and didn't wear so much pink and… Before I knew I had a picture of Chloe in my mind. And somehow my telescope was no longer facing the Lang house but the Sullivan's.

What in the world am I thinking? Chloe is my best friend.

I was about to leave my telescope when I noticed that Chloe's window was open. She was in the middle of changing her clothes. I knew I should have looked away but I was frozen. When she was done she climbed into bed and turned off the light.

I can't believe I just did that. Why did I do that? Why am I thinking of Chloe like this. I shouldn't! But, what about Lana? I don't get that same feeling I get when I talk to her, or see her. But when I'm with Chloe I'm just in a good mood the rest of the day. Maybe…maybe I've fallen in love with Chloe. The more I think about it the better it sounds. But she isn't in love with me anymore. I guess I've waited to late to see my true feelings. Nice going Kent. But back to Lana the more I think about it the less sense it makes for me to have been in love with her. For one thing I don't really trust her with everything. She and I could never have made it. She practically told me herself.

Flashback

"Lana, what if Cyrus really could've proven he was an alien?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" asked Lana (A/N: AKA evil pink princess.) What do I mean? I think that's a pretty straightforward question.

"I mean, how would you feel about him if he actually was from another planet?" I explained.

"Well, um... I guess I'd try and keep an open mind." Lana Lied

"You'd never feel completely comfortable with him, would you?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"I have to admit, I'd be a little freaked out," Lana admits.

Clark nods and looks away

"Does that make me a bad person," asks Lana.

"No. Just honest," I lied.

Present

What was I thinking still trying to get with her? When she asked that I even thought "Heck yeah, it makes you a bad person." But I asked that same question to Chloe, and what did she say? She said, "This isn't about Pulitzers, Clark. I mean, can you imagine being from another planet? The experiences you could share…Compared to most people, I think aliens would be a step up." That made me hopeful. But no, I had to go after Lana. I knew deep down how Chloe felt for me even before that Kryptonite-Kool-Aid. But I just ignored her. And now that I realize that Chloe would be perfect for me she isn't in love with me anymore.

"Yep Kent, you really screwed yourself." I said to myself, "But at least now she knows me, the real me.And at leat I get to see Chlo tomarrow."
