Later that night, Clark and Sophie come out of the restaurant. They walk to the car laughing, and having a good time. Clark stops as he sees a dark figure leaning up against the car.

"Excuse me, that's my car." Clark tells him. Clark reaches into his pocket and silently closes the case to the purple kryptonite. The person stands up and turns to them. It's a guy in a leather coat with dark sunglasses. Sophie tenses up on his arm.

"Nice ride." He says, taking out a key. He walks down the side, keying it.

"What are you doing!" Clark asks, open-mouthed.

"Sorry. Just thought that with all your money, you need something to spend it on." The guy says.

"What is your problem? Why don't you just leave." Clark says coldly. The guy ignores him.

"What's a hot thing like you doing with this guy? You should be with me. I'll show you fun like you'll never believe." He tells Sophie, pulling her to him. She looks back at Clark with fear in her eyes.

"Stay away from her!" Clark says, shoving him with his hand.

"Oh yeah, what are you gonna do about it?" The guy asks, walking up to Clark. He pulls out a knife. If Clark weren't so mad, he would have laughed.

"Clark!" Sophie calls out worried. The guy lunges at Clark and you can hear Sophie scream. Clark grabs his wrist, not that the knife is any match for the man of steel.

"Ah!" The man yells as Clark twists, the knife drops. With his other hand, Clark knocks the guy to the ground.

"Have a nice life." Clark says and walks to the car. He can't believe he keyed Lex's car.

"I'm glad I left Metropolis. There's people that just can't stand anyone that is higher than them." Sophie tells Clark.

"I'm just glad your ok." Clark tells her and she smiles.

Clark walks in his front door a quarter from midnight.

"Clark! Where have you been?" Jonathon asks.

"Oh sorry. We were just having a good time talking at the restaurant and we lost track of time." Clark says. Clark decides to throw in the story of the guy. "We had a little trouble too. Some guy keyed Lex's car. He pulled a knife on me!" Clark says.

"Are you alright?" Martha asks.

"Yeah. I stopped him. I'm just glad he didn't hurt her." Clark says, referring to Sophie.

"Well, you better get to bed. You have school tomorrow." Jonathon tells Clark.

"Yeah, good night." Clark says and walks upstairs; glad the story prevented a lecture.

Clark walks through the halls at school and Chloe runs up to him. "Clark Kent takes a joy ride to Metropolis with the new girl." Chloe says with a smile.

"How did you find out?" Clark asks.

"I have my sources." She tells him.

"Yeah, it was fun. Sophie's great." Clark says.

"I'm sure she is." Chloe says with that jealous look she always gets. John walks past Clark and gives him a death look. "What's with him?" Chloe asks.

"He hit on Sophie and she shot him down. He's pissed at me because… well I was the one she was with." Clark tells her.

"Classic case of jealousy." Chloe comments.

"I know of another." Clark says smiling and walks away. Chloe gives him a "yeah right" look, but she knows its true.

Clark stops at his locker and opens it. He feels something vibrate in his pocket, his cell phone. Clark takes it out and flips it open, looking at the screen.

Clark, stop by When you have A chance Lex

Bell rings, the locker door shuts.

A classroom is filled with students and Chloe, Sophie, and Lana are all in the class, Clark isn't. There's an empty seat in the back. Just then, the door opens and John walks in.

"John, nice of you to finally join the class." A man in front of the class says, obviously the teacher. John says nothing and walks up to the teacher. "There isn't any explan-." The teacher starts before John takes a silver handgun out of his waistband and knocks him on the forehead with it. He drops down, unconscious. A few students scream. Lana immediately gets up, wanting to help the teacher.

"Stop!" John screams, pointing the gun at Lana's head. She stops, staring at John with fear. "Everybody on the floor, now!" John commands, pointing the gun around. "Except for you." He stops at Sophie. While pointing the gun at her, he grabs her by the arm, pulling her towards him. She looks just as scared as Lana did.

"What do you want from me?" She asks, barely a whisper. He brushes hair off of her face and a few tears drop from her eyes.

"You know what I want, beautiful." He tells her and goes to kiss her neck. Chloe slowly reaches into her bag and pulls out her cell phone. She starts punching buttons on it as quietly as possible. John notices this and drops Sophie, rushing over to Chloe. "What do you think your doing!" He yells at her, grabbing her cell phone and throws it to the corner.
