Chapter 2
Smallville, just like its name, was a small town in the state of Kansas. It was early in the morning but the blazing sun has already risen high in the sky, shooting its glaring rays and emanating its heat towards the whole town.
However Smallville was a picturesque, tranquility small town that attracted quite a number of people coming to this little town after the meteor shower that happened a lot of years ago. The focus was now turned to the Kent Farm. The fields were scattered with grazing cows. A barn was seen from afar and a tractor was parked outside of it. The air in Smallville was fresh, bringing with it the sweet scent of the homemade cake that baked by Clark's mother, Martha Kent.
Clark woke up early in the morning, helping his mum to prepare the breakfast. Clark's dad, Jonathan walked slowly downstairs, greeting Clark and his wife.
'You two, wake up together today? Clark, are you going somewhere?'
Clark was a little surprised when his father questioned like that. 'No actually. I mean, I don't need to go to school today, so helping mum was not a big problem.'
'It's not usually to see you waking up to help your mum. Good son, Clark'
'Clark was a really good son. He's helping me making the breakfast, you see,' Martha told her husband, praising Clark who was beaming happily now while continuing to prepare the breakfast.
Clark was working on the stacks of hays in the barn when the Mercedes sports car driven by Lex Luthor nosed and came to a stop in front of the main door. Clark continued to do his chores, totally ignoring the man, who was usually dressed all in black walking into the barn in a likely business way.
"Hey, Clark, morning," greeted the bald man at once as soon as he strode into the barn.
"Lex,' said Clark, surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"Just paying a visit to my old friend, Clark. Can't I do that?' replied Lex in his laid-back manner.
"Lex, I told you, our friendship was broken up for a long time. You don't have to find me anymore. Our friendship is over," said Clark in a rude way.
"Clark, I still consider you as my only true friend. Do you remember that you are the one who saved my life for a couple of times? From drowning into the river when my car hit you and from the mad man who injured Helen and tried to kill me, do you remember that? And the last time you save me from killing myself, the Alexandra, do you still have any idea on how many occasions you saved me? You are my life-saver and my only true friend, aren't you?" spoke Lex in the way of expressing thankfulness.
How can I forget about everything I did to you? But things are different now, you just can't see it, blinded by your own desire, ambition, and last but not least, your greed.
"If you are still my true friend, then why aren't you stopping from checking on me, running researches like a mad man? Why can't you just stop everything you have done so far? Why?'
Clark's questions struck Lex completely. In such state of affairs, he couldn't answer all of them. In his brain, the words that were uttered by his own father, Lionel Luthor, began to play again and again. Because we are LUTHORS… because we are LUTHORS.
He tried to clear his mind but in vain. Now, he was face-to-face with Clark who was watching him in curiosity.
"Lex…," said Clark again but it was cut off by Lex.
"Clark, I told you before, I run my researches but I am just not obsessed with it. Whatever you said, I am not going to change my mind," said Lex hesitantly.
"You are not my friend anymore. Our friendship is over because-," said Clark ungrudgingly. "-you are not honest to me."
"And you too, Clark," answered Lex curtly. "Why did I want to do everything you opposed vehemently? Why? Because you are afraid that I will, one day, unveil your true identity, your secrets that your parents tried every means to protect them. Maybe, you don't trust me who always thinks you are my true friend."
"So I guess we haven't much to say. The last thing I want to say to you is stay true to yourself, Lex, you don't have to find out what you may not need to know."
Clark carried on doing his job, paying no heed to him who was still standing there, wanting to talk to him. Sensing his unwillingness to talk anymore, Lex guessed it was better for him to leave now. He walked quite slowly towards the door but before he reached it, he turned back and said something that Clark couldn't believe it.
'Clark, actually I just came here to tell you that Lana came back yesterday, maybe you should meet her at Talon."
With that, Lex Luthor walked out and drove his car. His car moved off in a split second, spurting a heap of dust towards the air.
Clark heaved a deep sigh. After Lana Lang went back to Paris, things were going on so well now with Chloe being his girlfriend. But now she came back and what would she react if she knows his relationship with Chloe…..
Maybe Chloe and I should talk to her. Making a confession isn't very difficult, Clark. You can do it. After all, isn't that we have broken up for a long time since you left me?
A decision was made eventually. Clark has made up his mind to find Chloe first and bring her along to Talon. Yeah, I guess it was right.
