Initiation

Closing time at the beanery, the 'jocks' were finishing off their fifth round of lattés before kicking out time, naturally after that amount of caffeine they were all pretty hyper, they sounded more like a group of hyperactive drunks, except Christopher who didn't seem to be effected by the caffeine. They were approached by the manager of the beanery who kindly asked them to leave, with an annoyed tone in his voice. The group left loudly making those trademark barking noises.

Out side each 'jock' had their own ride, except Christopher,

"Hey Chris you wanna a ride?" Whitney offered

"Nah" Christopher declined

"Suit your self" he said "see ya tomorrow man" he finished before driving away. Christopher waited till the rest of them had driven out of site then he zipped away in his usual Speedy Gonzalas fashion.

Back at school after hours, Chloe had gone off to try and find Pete, to try and find out why he did his disappearing act. Eventually she found him quivering under her desk in the torch office.

"Pete, what's wrong with you? Why are you hiding under my desk?" she asked

"Because this the torch is far away from the changing rooms and this is the only place I knew you would come to straight after" Pete explained crawling out from under the desk, he straightened him self out, Chloe straight away began to ask questions,

"Wel1… What did you see?" she asked

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you" Pete answered

"Try me" Chloe said with her journalistic smile.

Lex drove up to his mansion in his porche, he turned off his engine and stepped out of his car, he looked up at the mansion and noticed that his office light was on, he slammed his porche door shut and entered the mansion. He burst into his office door expecting to find a burglar or something; instead he finds Christopher sat at his desk looking through his laptop.

"What are you doing Christopher?" Lex asked insulted by the invasion of his privacy,

"Your progress reports make for some interesting reading big bro" Christopher said moving the mouse around, Lex stormed up to the lap top and closed it,

"Those files are confidential" Lex said with a stern voice

"Come on Lex, we're family, no secrets between us"

"That maybe true but I would appreciate it if you kept your nose out of my business" Lex unplugged his laptop packed it away and began to leave the room,

"So how do you propose to follow your plan through" Christopher said just before Lex closed the door to the office, Lex stopped and turned around,

"Do what?" he answered innocently

"Come on bro, you've been dying to tell someone, it just intrigues me on how you are going to pull it off"

"You've been reading my proposition to the Ross Cream Corn industry haven't you" Lex guessed

"Yup, and I know for a fact they wont take the price you are offering, and the price they will want will eat up more that half your budget" Christopher explained

"I can handle it even if it comes to that, how do you know so much any way?" Lex asked

"You don't think your laptop is the first one I have raided do you? Plus dad's is more interesting any way"

"Thanks" Lex said kind of insulted

"I just can't understand how you are planning on surviving a whole year with less than half a year's budget"

"That's the thing about the business world, Christopher, sometimes you have to make sacrifices" Lex said with a Luthor smile on his face.

Back at the school in the mist of the locker room showers, the two voices of Kessington and Jameson could be heard

"Man would you stop going that way, we need to go this way" Kessington moaned

"Your arm is in my face!" Jameson complained

"There must be a way to deal with this" Kessington thought,

"How? We're a freak" Jameson said giving up

"Let me concentrate" suddenly the mist began to fade and out of the showers walked Kessington, in perfectly normal form, but wet from head to toe,

"Why couldn't you shift into my body?" Jameson's words came out of Kessington's mouth,

"Because I'm the better looking one" Kessington replied, he strafed round and looked into the mirror, "lets go" he said walking out of the locker room into the halls of Smallville high.

The school bell rings to start a new day at Smallville high, the school doors opened and the halls began to fill with students, some students, however, had already been present before school had begun. Chloe Sullivan walks out of the door of the torch, locking it on her way out. She turns and looks around the corridor trying to find a way through the crowds of students without having to force her way through. Eventually she finds a opening and takes it she hurries over to her locker cause she is already late for class, she pulls out her books and closes the door, straight away seeing Kessington in his locker which is located right next to hers. She looks at him surprised,

"Craig?" she said tapping him on his back, Kessington turned

"Hu? Oh hey Chloe?" he said, as if everything was normal. Chloe noticed that Kessington was sweating heavily,

"Are you ok Craig?" she asked "you're sweating more than a thanksgiving turkey"

"We're fine Chloe" Kessington said quickly wiping his brow, "we gotta get to class" he said before hurrying away,

"We?" Chloe said to her self.

Lex's Porche pulled up into the drive way of the Ross Cream Corn estate. He was greeted by the Ross brothers, just as his dad was, the day of the meteor shower.

"Mr. Luthor" one of the Ross brothers said holding out his hand, Lex shook hands with him,

"Mr. Ross, put much thought into my proposal" Lex said jumping straight into business

"You're an eager man Mr. Luthor, didn't even give me a chance to offer you a cup of coffee" the first Ross brother said with a smile on his face,

"Thanks but I got places to be" Lex replied with a stern look on his face, the stern look that had been adopted from his fathers business side. The Ross brothers looked at each other,

"Ok then" the first Ross brother said rubbing his hands together, "we are sadly going to have to decline your offer" he said with a straight face

"Why?" Lex asked, pretending to be surprised at the news,

"Well, because you are offering ten thousand less that the asking price and believe me Mr. Luthor I have been trying to sell this place for a long, long time and the price has dropped dramatically since the first asking price, but I can't drop it any more than I have" he explained regretfully "the truth is Mr. Luthor, ever since the meteor shower, business has been poor, no body is interested in our business any more". Lex pulled a document out of his brief case and held it in his hands,

"I can assure you Mr. Ross, I only have Smallville's best interest's at heart" he smiled and handed over the document, the Ross brothers looked at the document, and then at each other, with a very proud look on their faces, Lex smiled, he had a inkling he had just won them over.

Meanwhile back at the school a boy of about 15 years of age is wondering the halls during class, he had scruffy brown hair and sharp eyes, he looked weak but appearances can be deceiving. He turned a corner in the hall and encountered the hall monitor, who immediately began to show her authority,

"Can I see your hall pass?" she asked, the boy looked her, and carried on walking, shoving past her as he did, "excuse me!" she snapped, with more authority this time, the boy stopped and turned around, he knew he wasn't going to loose her, "I take it you don't have a pass, then I guess I'm going to have to take your name then, for a trip to detention hall" the boy still stayed silent, "are you listening to me!" the hall monitor shouted, suddenly the boys eyes began to show sparks of electricity, the hall monitor began to show signs of fear, before she had time to react the boy gave her an electric shock the sent her flying across the hall rendering her unconscious on the floor. He turned around and looked in the trophy case mounted on the wall outside the gym door, he wrapped his hand on a cloth and smashed the glass and picked up a photograph of three ex Smallville football players, he smiled, his eyes sparked once more,

"Its pay back time" he grinned before casually walking away with the photograph in his hand.
