Chapter three
That night a nurse entered the room. Lana sat up eagerly to see what she had to say.
"Miss Lang?" The nurse said, looking at Lana.
"Yes?" She replied.
"The surgery on your leg will be preformed day after tomorrow."
"Thank you!" The nurse nodded and left the room. Lana looked extremely relieved.
"Well Lana, congratulations. You're going home." Lois said. At that moment Clark entered the room.
"Hey Lana." Clark said with one dozen roses in his hand.
"Hi Clark." Lana said looking at the flowers.
"Hey Smallville." Lois said. Clark didn't react at all, so Lois repeated what she had said, "Hey Smallville." Again, Clark didn't react. "Hey, Smallville! Are you awake?" Clark just simply ignored her. Lana Shrugged.
"Clark, aren't you going to say hello to Lois?"
"No."
"Why?"
"I can't take my eyes off of you." Lois looked disgusted.
"Oh my gosh. You're joking right?" Clark ignored her again.
"Well, can't you just um…talk to her…?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I don't care."
"Why are you being a jerk to Lois?" Lois whispered for Lana to ask.
"Um…why are you being a jerk to Lois?" Lana copied.
"I don't care."
"You're acting strange today Clark." Lana said.
"Okay, I heard that you are having surgery day after tomorrow."
"How?"
"It doesn't matter, but I heard, so I was thinking we could maybe go to dinner that night after that."
"Um...sure." Lana replied.
"It's a date. Well, I better go. See you later." As Clark was almost out the door John-Pierre walked in. Clark automatically turned around.
"Hello Lana."
"Oh, Hi John-Pierre."
"Hello Lois." John Pierre placed a single rose on both tables.
"Hi!" Lois raised her eyebrows and smiled at Lana.
" Lana, do you know when your surgery will be?"
"As a matter of fact, I do. Day after tomorrow in the morning."
"Oh good. SO, did you want to have a celebration lunch? Just the two of us. Right after the surgery."
"Yes, that would be great!"
"I'm thinking that right after the surgery would be bad." Clark interrupted.
"Oh, hello Clark. Why wouldn't right after work?" John Pierre said.
"Well, she'll be so tired." Clark said.
"No, it's fine." Lana said.
"Are you sure? Clark makes a good point."
"I'm sure."
"Okay then. Lois what about you? When's your surgery?"
"Um…ask the doctor." Lois replied.
"Okay." John Pierre walked to the hall and stopped a nurse. Lois was whisper yelling at him to stop.
"Three days. 9:00 P.M." The nurse said. John Pierre thanked the nurse and told Lois.
"Oh, Clark, that's going to mess up our dinner plans. Sorry."
"We can still have dinner. While we're waiting. It'll be a long surgery."
"Right. Okay."

The day of Lana's surgery came and everyone came into Lois and Lana's room to watch her go off to surgery. Lana looked slightly nervous but she knew she'd be fine. AS the nurse rolled Lana's bed into surgery Clark bid farewell blocking John Pierre from saying good luck, so, John Pierre did say goodbye in the hall.
"I need food." Mr. Kent said walking to the hall. Why don't you guys help me grab some food to bring up here." Mrs. Kent and John Pierre followed, leaving Clark and Lois alone. Lois found this a good time to tell him how upset she was at Clark.
"You suck."
"What?"
"Oh good. You're talking to me. I feel so privileged." Clark rolled his eyes.
"Are you still mad at me for not talking to you that one time?"
"That one time? You never talk to me anymore." Lois said.
"Oh, right. I forgot about that especially because I'm talking to you now." Lois laughed a little.
"Right, sorry. But when Lana comes back you won't speak to me. I know it."
"What are you talking about?"
"And why do you always have to be a jerk to John Pierre?"
"He's a jerk."
"He is? He is? No. No, no, no. You are. He speaks to me. He is nice to you. He cares about people's feelings! Unlike some farmboy I know!"
"That is just rich. Well, thanks for telling me!" After that both of them were silent.
After a while Lana came out of surgery and John Pierre and Lana went to lunch and Lois was left alone.
