"Clark, what are you rushing for?" Martha asks.
"Oh, I met our new neighbor's daughter last night. I offered to show her around today." He tells them.
"Oh that's great Clark. Way to be the gentlemen." Jonathon says.
"Clark, you do know their daughter isn't Lana right?" She teases Clark.
"If I'm going to get over Lana, I'm going to need to another girl to drool over." Clark says.
"That's great, But what about Lois? You two seemed so into each other." His mom says. Clark almost chokes on his food.
"Mom, Lois and I were not into each other. Lois is nice, but totally not my type." Clark tells her. He wasn't even about to tell them about his dream with him, Lana and Lois in the loft. He did kind of like Lois, but what would a college girl want with him.
Clark gets done with his chores earlier than he thought so he goes up to his loft. He sees his book he's reading for English class and feels guilty he didn't read any last night, so he picks it up and starts reading.
"Wow, I didn't think you were the type to get lost in a book." Sophie says, surprising him.
"Oh hey! I didn't hear you come up." Clark says with a smile and stands up.
"This is nice. It's nice to have someplace to get away." She says, walking around. She sees his telescope and is drawn to it.
"Yeah. It is." Clark says, not knowing what to say. She peeks in the eyepiece of the telescope and he just remembered the last thing he was looking at was her window.
"I've always wanted a telescope." She says. She gives him a flattered smile. "I hope it wasn't hard focusing in my window." She says with a laugh.
"Don't worry, I didn't see anything." He lies. He was just seeing how early she went to bed last night and caught her in her purple-laced underwear.
Ha, Likely story, Clark. You knew exactly what you were doing.
"I'm used to shutting the curtains anyway from living in the city." She says.
Well, you sure didn't last night.
"There used to be this girl that lived there before and I was kind of crazy about. It was already focused." Clark says, not knowing why he's telling her this.
"Must have been some girl." Sophie says.
"She was nothing." Clark assures her. If anything could be farther from the truth.
Clark is driving his Camaro through town with Sophie in the passenger seat. "We've seen the high school, most of the town… Let's stop at the Talon." Clark says.
"What's the Talon?" She asks.
"It's a coffee house. My friend started it up and my mom works it most of the time." Clark says, parking the car. Clark and Sophie walk up to the counter. Clark expects to see his mom, but Lana is serving instead with Jason sitting there, talking to her.
"Hey Clark." Lana greets him.
She seems so much nicer when I have someone with me.
"Hey Clark, how's it going?" Jason asks.
"Great, Coach Teague." He says, completely forgetting about the football incident.
"Who's your friend, Clark?" Lana asks.
"Oh, this is Sophie Krue. Sophie this is Lana Lang." Clark introduces them.
"Hi, nice to meet you." Sophie says and smiles.
"She moved into the house next door, your old house." Clark tells her.
"This is the girl you told me about?" Sophie asks.
"Yeah." Clark says.
"Really, Clark?" Lana smiles. "So tell me, is your telescope still focused on the upstairs window?" She asks Clark in her own way if he's interested in Sophie.
"Yes, it is." Clark says with a smile and creeps his arm around Sophie, praying that her looks from earlier hinted at what he thought she was hinting at. Lana definitely notices this and the tension is doubled. The look in Sophie's eyes and the way she relaxed against his arm tells that she does have something for Clark. A waiter serves Clark and Sophie two lattes while they talk with Lana.
"Don't let me take up your time, enjoy your lattes." Lana says with a smile.
"We'll see you guys later." Clark says and Sophie and him walk out of the coffeehouse.
"Well, doesn't take Clark long to fall head over heals for a girl. Could he pick a hotter girl?" Lana immediately says.
"Lana. If I didn't know better, I'd say you're jealous." Jason tells her.
"Jason! Why would I be jealous of her?" Lana asks, acting offended.
"Whoa. She is hot, but you don't have to loath her so much." Jason teases her.
"Well, go chase her down. I'm sure I wouldn't have any problem finding anyone." Lana tells him.
"Oh Lana. If I wanted just any gorgeous girl, I would have stayed in Paris." Jason says and kisses her.
