The next afternoon, Clark was in his loft watching a NASCAR race on TV. His Sunday afternoon ritual lately. He was so tuned into the race, that he didn't notice he had a visitor.

"Hey Clark, what are you doing?" Sophie asks in an unbelievably cute tone.

"Sophie!" He says, surprised. As he looks at her, he can't believe how incredibly sexy she looked. All she was wearing was a sweater and jeans with her hair tied up, but to Clark she looked perfect. "Just watching a little TV. Sundays about about the only day I can relax." He tells her.

"You watch this?" She asks, sitting down on the opposite end of his couch.

"Yeah, I do. It's actually a lot more than just driving in circles." He says, hoping she will stay.

"Really? I always thought it was." She says.

"There's strategy involved and pushing their cars to the limit." Clark tells her.

"Could you explain it to me?" She asks as she watches.

"Sure." Clark says, pleasantly surprised.

Later that afternoon, Clark and Sophie are still on the couch, but this time they're laughing together and she's a lot closer to him. Clark absentmindedly put his arm around her and she felt it. They got quiet for a minute and stared at each other. Clark leaned in to her slowly, as if he was going to kiss her.

"Excuse me, you two…" Martha interrupts. They immediately slide away from each other and both their faces turn a little red.

"Yeah mom?" Clark asks.

"Sophie, your mom just called…" Martha tells her.

"I'd better get going. I'll see you in the morning, Clark?" She asks and smiles back at him.

"Yep, see you tomorrow." He says.

"Sorry, Clark." His mom apologizes, with a smirk.

"It's ok. We were... just umm..." Clark tells her, getting even redder. Once she leaves, he smiles to himself. Her smile as she left definitely told him she likes him. There is just something about her that he just can't get over.

Clark pulls into the parking lot at school and stops his car at a parking space in front.

"Wow, this seems just like a movie. People sitting in the grass, jocks and cheerleaders. Signs reading "Go Crows." She says.

"Yeah well, we're far from perfect." Clark says with a laugh. People instantly notice Clark walking with this beautiful girl. Once they get inside, Clark sees Lana.

"Hey Sophie, how's it going?" She asks. "Clark." She greets him.

"Hey Lana is it? Good." Sophie says.

"Yeah, that's right." Lana replies.

"So, where would Mr. Johnson's class be?" Sophie asks, digging out her schedule.

"I'm heading that way, I'll show you." Lana tells her.

"Ok, great. Bye Clark." She says with a sexy smile.

Later that day at lunch, Chloe sits down by Clark.

"Well…" She starts.

"Well what?" Clark asks.

"I met your friend Sophie today." Chloe tells him, acting in her "I know something" mood.

"Yeah, she's nice isn't she." He says.

"Oh yeah. You sure would think so." She tells him.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Clark asks.

"Well, lets see. She seems to like having one-sided conversations about a certain someone." Chloe tells him.

"What can I say? As Pete would say, chicks dig me." Clark says, walking off.

"They sure do." She says to herself and stares blankly at the wall.

After school, Clark and Sophie are walking to his car.

"So how did you like your first day at Smallville High?" Clark asks.

"It was great. Compared to my other schools, it's perfect." She tells him. A guy walks up behind Sophie, he has a lettermans jacket on.

"Hey Sophie, you're in my history class." He says to her.

"Oh, hi. I didn't see you." She says.

"Well I sure saw you." He says, staring her down. Sophie gives a little laugh, not impressed.

"John, is there something you want?" Clark asks.

"Yeah, you to get lost." He tells Clark coldly. Clark doesn't move.

"I'm John." He introduces himself to Sophie.

"And I'm leaving. Let's go Clark." She tells him and grabs Clark's arm. Clark just smiles at him and walks away. You can tell by the look on John's face that it isnt over
