Chapter 2
Kate flopped onto the hotels bed. Ahhhh, it's good to feel 5 star treatment. So, so tired from wasting time at Lex's office. Kate fell to sleep.
The alarm rang and Kate jumped from the bed staring at everything. She blinked a couple of times, then yawned and stretched her back. She looked over her back to the clock that blinked 6:00pm.
She got up from bed and headed to the bathroom. She looked in the mirror and ran her hand through her honey colored hair. Her light brow eyes looked back at her. The violet t-shirt she wore finally curved around her cleavage the right way. And the black pants definitely showed off her other assets. Yes very weak but it's still cute to me.
Kate decided to take a shower. She felt the need to wash away the foul mood she'd been in since coming to Smallville. Now that she was in a Metropolis hotel she could do just that.
"Clark you need to start making new friends. Get out there and socialize a bit." Lois was immanent about keeping Clark away from Chloe. He'd be a bit too close with her lately and there was no way she would let Clark play that 'thanks for being there, lets do it and completely ignore that it happened because we're friends' card on Chloe.
"I have made new friends for your information. Like…" Clark scanned the group of people drinking, laughing, or dancing around the room. "there." Clark pointed to one of the guys across the room. "That's Jake." Clark seemed pleased with himself for remembering the name.
"Clark, how do I know you just didn't randomly pick that guy and give him a name? I mean I know how desperate people can get." Lois gave Clark a light punch on the arm and shoved him off towards the direction of 'Jake'.
Clark looked back at Lois accusingly. She just raised her drink up and nodded. Chloe finally reached Lois with a cup and her and a napkin with some scribbling in it. Lois arched her eyebrow at Chloe.
Chloe smiled. "What? A girl can't have some options for herself?"
"No, of course she can. Finally tho' thought you'd join a covenant or sumthin'."
Chloe swatted Lois' arm. "Hey it hasn't been that long since I got a date."
"Sure it hasn't." Lois said with a gleaming smile at her cousin. "And now that I don't have to worry that you're in some 'save thy self cult... wait, no actually be in that cult. You know 'save thy self'." Lois said putting great emphasis on the word 'save'. Lois was walking backwards as she said this and bumped in someone.
"Oh sorry." Lois said slightly embarrassed at her clumsiness. oOo cute.
"Its okay," said the tall dark haired guy. "Should have seen that you were walking backwards." He said with a genuine smile.
Lois blushed and looked back and Chloe and mouthed the word 'hot' to her. Chloe smiled and nodded back to the guy.
Clark looked back to where Lois had been and saw she was now flirting with some guy, and so was Chloe.
What Chloe's talking to a guy? And he's flirting with her. She's … she's flirting back. What? Okay, no big deal. Of course Chloe has guys who flirt with her, no biggie. Hey you leave Chloe alone! Breathe. Why is he whispering in her ear? What does he have to whisper in her ear for? Hey!
"Clark, hey man." Jake reached out his hand.
"Huh. Oh yea man, hey." Clark said turning his attention to Jake. Clark shook his hand
Jake had blond hair that reminded Clark of Whitney his freshmen year. He was tall like Clark but still shorter. He had a swimmer's body and of course was a swimmer for the college; won first place in last year's tournament. He was a sophomore in college and was this was his party.
"What's good man?" Jake asked taking a drink from his cup.
"Nothing." Clark nodded. "Great party though." Clark waved his hand signaling the crowd.
"Yea thanks. But it must not be that great if 'nothing' is happening with you man."
"Not that much of a party person I guess." Clark said looking Jake's friends who didn't that interested in Clark due to their immense concentration with the ladies to their sides.
Jake gestured Clark away with him. "This party is so that people can relax. For freshmen's, to get acquainted with the locals." Jake nodded towards some girls that were looking their way. Jake turned and placed his hands on Clarks shoulder. "Sooo, loosen up and have some fun." He turned Clark around and pushed him forward into a group of girls.
Clark smiled dumbly. Why is everyone pushing me today. One of the girls gestured him to sit, so he did. Surround by beautiful girls who were wearing tanks and shorts skirts called thought, hey not bad to be pushed around.
"Hey ladies, I'm Clark." Clark relaxed and smiled a bit cockily. The ladies didn't catch it. Clark raised his hands over his head and placed them on the top of the couch, giving the ladies more opportunity to move closer to him. Clark blushed a bit, and then seamlessly licked his bottom lips. "So, what do you girls do for fun," Clark said a bit hesitantly.
"We like to play games," said on of the girls.
Clark just flashed his Kent smile.
