Rating: K+
Ah, Clark Kent. We all know and love him. He can make the beautiful, intelligent decisions at the right time and he can also make the downright, ugly, stupid ones. And let me not get started on the mood swings.
Then, there are the phases. Gah! They can annoy you, they can scare you and they can make you wonder if aliens are really this stupid. So, when one of those stupid phases gets very stubborn and decides not to go, drastic action must be taken to stop it.
And you know what I'm talking about. All Clois fans must know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the stage in Clark's life where he 'thinks' he loves Lana. Where he 'thinks' that he would die for Lana, go to hell and back for Lana, kick Lex's butt if he kissed Lana etc. And this stage just won't go away. So what's a Clois fan to do?
Meddle.
My name is Shauna Williams a.k.a the Meddler and I'm about to make Clark realize he made a mistake. And I'm going to do it my way.
The first thing I needed was a motive. Another motive other than ruining Clark's relationship with Lana. I had to make the biggest sacrifice, ever. I had to leave Fordham University, where my journalistic criteria was, and go to Kansas University. My reason: I wanted to try something new. Sometimes love has to come first before education. After all, it better to be an uneducated person in love than an educated doesn't love at all.
And, of course I was going to concentrate on my studies also. I wasn't oblivious to everything around me but love. So, with a lot of persuasion, my parents gave in. And with the right connections, I had Clark Kent as my tour guide. My mission was set.
I drove into the parking lot in my red convertible. Vintage. You gotta love me. I grabbed my bag that was in the passenger seat and opened the door. I smiled brightly and breathed in the fresh Kansas air. The medium-sized university was very neat. I may get use to it over time. There were many people under the trees reading books, other people walking and talking to their friends and some stayed alone, doing homework or other various activities.
So, where was Clark?
I looked at my watch, leaned on the hood of my car and sighed. I didn't know Clark could be this late. I told him to look for a red convertible and I actually thought that he would be the one coming up to shout at me. Maybe he had stormed off.
No, that's not him. He may be moody but he can also be patient.
I suddenly straightened up. Is it me, or have I just realized that I have to everything around here? I groaned and started walking away from the parking lot in search of him. Now, if I was an eighteen-year-old, drop-dead gorgeous college boy with a girlfriend; where would I be? I stopped in my tracks and shook my head at the sight before me.
Of course.
Making out with my girlfriend in the bushes.
"Hey, if they made sofa beds, they can make bush beds." I started up the conversation casually. They suddenly broke apart as soon as they heard my voice. I folded my arms and waited patiently for one of them to say something.
"Sorry," they both muttered. I laughed.
"Oh, don't stop on my account." I said, still laughing. "This would obviously happening, Clark Kent and Lana Lang." My smile came on when they heard their name and their heads popped up. Their confused eyes bored into mine. I rolled my eyes. Four years of people stalking you and killing you, can leave you really alert.
"How do you know our names?" Clark asked. He went in front of Lana slightly. My eyebrows shoot up. Here come the I-will-die-for-Lana traits coming in.
"Well, the university sent me a picture of you and this is small town, everybody knows about you and Lana." I eyed the two of them, a small smile tugging on my lips. Nice save, Shauna. "Why? Is there something wrong?" Clark moved away from in front of Lana and shook his head. "Good. Well, we have five more minutes until class and I can't guide myself, now, can't I?"
"You're Shauna Williams?" Clark asked. I nodded. He held out his hand. "Nice to meet you." I shook it. I then shook Lana's hand and before he went, he gave one last kiss to Lana. I sighed. I didn't want to see that.
"Tick tock." I said, rather loudly. Clark broke away from her and they both started to smile. I winced. I really didn't want to see this.
---------------------
"This is the last stop." Clark said. We entered the classroom and saw Dr. Fine looking through a bundle of papers. Clark sat down at a desk in the front and I was about to sit in the desk beside him when someone put their hand possessively on the desk. I looked up and saw a blonde narrowing her eyes at me.
"What do you think you're doing?" She asked me harshly. I looked at her oddly.
"I'm about to sit." I was about to sit down when her hand stopped me again.
"I don't think so. I saw this seat first." She looked at Clark and smiled brightly. "Hey Clark." She said too sweet for my gut. Clark half-smiled.
"Hey, Allison." Allison? What was up with the A people trying to get to Clark. But maybe I should start with the L people.
"You know what, fine?" I put my hands in surrender. You can have the seat. I backed away and she smiled grimly.
"Thanks." She was about to sit quickly.
But not quickly enough. I beat her to it, leaned back and crossed my legs. "But sometimes, people can't have what they want." I said, slightly innocent, slightly devilish. From the corner of my eye, I see Clark cracking a grin. Well, at least he likes spunk.
Lois has spunk.
I look up at the ditzy girl. She folded her arms and was about to say something when Dr. Fine called the class to order. She left in a huff and I smiled and shook my head. "Your fan club must now hate me, Clark." I whisper to him before Dr. Fine starts. He turns sharply at me and I fake a frown. "Is something the matter?"
"No." He said quickly. I turn my head and smirked. Oh, yeah, just a little boost up reminder sign that Lois actually said. I look at him and see him thinking hard. I could just hear his mind now.
Doesn't Lois say that?
---------------------
Clark and I went down the steps towards Dr. Key's desk. He looked up and smiled at Clark and I. Clark introduced us and I shook his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Fine. I've read your researches in Astronomy and I think they're brilliant." He smiled at this and we released hands. Of course I knew Dr. Fine was a kyrptonian. It was so obvious. But I don't think he knows that I know and probably if he did know he'd use his knife thingy and kill me.
My life is dangerous.
------------------------------------------
"So how was your first day?" Clark asked me as we walk down the steps towards the University exit. I shrugged my shoulders. Did I really care? I was here for him!
"It's okay." I calmly reply. "So, uhm….the tour ends her right?" I bit my lip. Please say no; please say no, I really need to see Chloe.
"You want it to be?" Clark asked looking truly confused. I shook my head a little too much in eager but he doesn't seem to notice it. And there are a lot of things he doesn't see in front of him. "Great." He smiled that sexy, gets-all-the-girls-weak-in-the-knees smile. Oh, I can't wait until the saying is gets-Lois-all-weak-in-the-knees smile. "Let's go."
-------------
"Chloe, this is Shauna. Shauna, Chloe. We shook hands and smiled at each other. We then sat down around the table. We were in the infamous talon. A lot of steamy things have happened here. Oh, if these walls could talk…
"So, Shauna, what are you majoring in?" Chloe asked. I think she was a little excited to see me. It's either that or the journalism traits just keep on coming.
"Journalism and Astronomy." I replied. She smiled even wider at the mention of Journalism. She might explode. Thank God Clark is near me. I can safely hide under him.
"Oh, my gosh! Really? Wow! I've never met anybody else except for Clark who's majoring in it." She leans in closer, suddenly very interested. I tell her my whole story about when I was 12, I wanted to become a journalist and be an anchorwoman on CNN. But that part of being a part of CNN was dimming. I guess newspaper journalism could be cool too. When I finish my story, Chloe looked at her watch and sighed. "Where's Lois, she said she'd be here."
My eyebrows suddenly rise up. I guess one more introduction wouldn't hurt my ego. Especially, if this is the main one. "Who's Lois?" I ask, trying so hard to be so casual.
"She's my cousin." Chloe replied.
"Who is a monster." Clark adds.
"She's really friendly," Chloe said, ignoring Clark's statement.
"She's a bully." Clark again interjects.
"But not that friendly to Clark." Chloe said. Clark nodded miserably. I sat down in silence, smiling at the show. "Oh, poor Clarkie." Chloe said and tries to hug Clark but he moves away.
"Don't you start, Chlo." Clark warns. We both roll our eyes. Suddenly, the door opened and we turned to see Lois walking towards us. Clark gives out a long groan and Lois smirks as she hears it. Hr confident stride becomes faster and before we knew it, she was at our table.
"Hey, guys." She said. She looked at me and smiled uncertainly. "Who are you?" I shook my head. The suspiciousness got to her to and unfortunately, left her without courtesy.
"Shauna." I said and held out my hand. She shook it. "I got Kansas University. I'm majoring in Journalism and Astronomy." Lois nodded slowly, taking in the information.
"Well, welcome to Smallville." Lois said with displeasure. "If you've realized, and I'm sure you haven't, the place isn't that much to look at." I laughed at her insult while Clark glared at her.
"Strangely, I like it here." I said. She smiled at me.
