(Continued adventures of VB & Tisa... Story after this)
Tisa and VB fighting and running through a horde of Zomblexis to get to the nearby village
VB "I'm singing in the rain" knocks a zomblexis aside with the shovel "Just singing in the rain" zomblexis' goes flying "What a glorious feeling" whack, down goes another zomblexis "I'm happy again!"
Tisa - "Why are you singing?" Smacks a zomblexis with her shovel "We are not doing a musical number!" Spins kicks a couple of zomblexis into the air
VB - "It's my way of blocking out reality"
Both run through the clearing.
Tisa - "Stop blocking! You got us into this!"
VB - "I specifically remember you wanted out of Clana Cops"
Tisa - "Oh so it's automatically my fault?"
Both jump over a wall, fall down and land simultaneously on their feet.
VB - "Well, theoretically, yeah"
Both run into a building and slams the door and begin to lock up.
Tisa - "How nice" sarcastically and rolls eyes "But this is your fault, you invented the spoony wormhole thingie! I can't believe they partnered me up a complete idiot!"
Finishes up locking the place.
VB - raises an eyebrow "Do you really want piss off a bo—" spots blocks of Sulphur and barrels of Charcoal Dust placed neatly in rows "Oh my" looks like a kid in a candy shop "Well…hello"
Tisa - Looks at VB and back at the stuff "Is this heaven for you?"
VB - "It's actually Guy Fawkes Day for me" Looks at Tisa "Why don't you find some transportation and let these folks read the chapter?" points to the audience
The doors begins to bang from the zomblexis.
Tisa - rolls eyes "Yeah. Sure. How else are we going to get out this?"
Chapter 4 : There is no place like School
At the back of the bus Clark fidgeted in his chair, with the back of his heel hitting the floor madly. He was very nervous of the fact that he was going to be in a building filled with many humans.
"You know" Pete said "If you carry on your going to put a dent in the floor"
"Sorry" Clark said.
"Bill would be the one you'll have to apologies to" Pete said amusedly.
"Bill?" Clark asked.
"The bus driver" Pete said, pointing to the man "Why are you fidgeting?"
"Just nervous" Clark said.
"First days can do that you" Pete said "But you'll just wing it"
"Easy for you to say, I didn't go to a 'school' let alone a high school" Clark said.
"Ooh, it is a good thing you brought this up" Pete said "Okay things you should watch out for: the bullies and the Lang twins, sometimes cafeteria food is good but that depends if lunch lady Gloria is happy or not, I'm assuming that is your lunch" pointing to the paper bag and Clark nodded "and whatever you do don't cheese off the jocks!"
"What are jocks?" Clark asked.
"They are the guys who, along with cheerleaders, go into the sports and rule this school. They are the enemy" Pete said.
At Smallville High School a banner was placed over the front door says "Welcome Back!". Lois and Chloe drive into the parking lot in Lois's car and find a parking spot.
"You know, socially divisive cliques and hall passes aside, this place really isn't all that bad" Chloe said.
"It's the varsity version of Dante's seventh ring" Lois said.
Chloe laughs as she gets out of the car.
"Come on, do you know how many people would kill to go back to their senior year in high school?" Chloe said.
"Yeah the weird and the wonderful people" Lois said getting out of the car.
They walk toward the school.
"Oh c'mon, you just can't wait to get back at the Torch and start writing your first article of the year can ya?" Chloe teased.
"Remind me to change your medication" Lois said.
"Ha…ha" Chloe said "You need new material"
Lois shakes her head at Chloe's remark, and Chloe puts her arm around Lois's shoulder as they enter the school.
"It's gonna be great having you here" Chloe said "Everything is gonna so much better"
"Oh yeah I can see it now you becoming prom queen, Pete becoming class president, I join the pom pom squad and—" Lois said and spots something disturbing "why is Clark chatting to Lana?" pointing Clark out.
Chloe spots them "Oh crap" she whispered under her breathe.
At the far end of the hall. Clark had been waiting at his new locker for Pete to come back from talking to someone. He had noticed that his locker happen to be a stuck, so just as he tapped it with a minute use of strength Lana came up to him.
"Hey Clark" Lana said.
"Lana, hey, err, w-what are you doing here?" Clark asked.
Lana chuckled.
"I happen to go to school here with my sister" Lana said.
"Oh, sorry" Clark said
"Do you have Mr Tennyson's Chem. Class?" Lana asked innocently.
"Err, maybe, let me check" Clark said, slinging his backpack off from his shoulder and pulled out his time table to look at it.
"Oh my" Lana said.
"What?" Clark asked, looking at her expression then looked into his bang and see the lilies.
"Who are they for?" Lana asked, almost coyly.
"Um, th-there are f-for, um—" Clark nervously said.
He couldn't help it. She and her sister was the ultimate getup that made those kryptonite shields. It was understandable why he was so nervous around her.
"Me?" Lana asked, obviously taking his nervousness as a sign for being shy around her.
"Well, um, err, th-they—" Clark stuttered.
"Thank you" Lana said, taking the lilies out of his bag.
From the other side Lois and Chloe watched the entire thing. Lois narrowed her eyes Lana, if she was a kryptonian she would have burn her already. But what annoyed her the most was Clark was giving Lana the lilies, the flowers she liked. In fact they were her favourites! Thoughts of rescuing Clark instantly died as she turned to her cousin.
"Chloe, I think I left something in car. Why don't you go on up ahead, I'll catch you up" Lois said.
Before Chloe could stop her Lois disappeared.
"Had to be a Lang to mess things up" Chloe muttered and ran through the crowd to Clark.
"Um Lana—" Clark began.
"Hi Pete" Lana said as Pete dashed to Clark's side.
"Lana! Hey! Great to see you!" Pete said sounding very cheerful when he really wasn't "Your sister's looking for you, said it was important"
"Oh, right, thanks" Lana said to Pete and then looked at Clark with a flirtatious smile "The lilies are beautiful, thank you Clark" and walked off.
At that moment Chloe came up fuming.
"How could you leave him with her" Chloe snapped.
"I was checking up on things" Pete said "It was only going to take a minute!"
"A minute is what it takes for her to swoop down on her prey" Chloe said.
"Her prey happens to be fine" Pete said.
"That's what you said to me before you got stuck between her teeth" Chloe said.
"That's because someone needed bait for them to actually find out if they were meteorite freaks" Pete said.
"Should I give you two a room?" Lois said as she walked up to them.
"You give out rooms?" Clark said.
At how funny it sounded Chloe and Pete burst out laughing, while Lois turned a shade of pink as she rolled her eyes.
"Private time Clarkie" Lois said.
He still confused, his brows furrows as he looks at Lois, still not understanding. "Private time?"
"You can't be this naive?" Lois rolls her eyes and shakes her head. "You know the horizontal mambo…the big bang…"
"You mean the theory on how Earth was created?" Clark ask, still not getting it.
"Let me guess, you just came from Biology." Lois smirks and shakes her head again. "You know for someone so smart, you sure are slow on the up take with the little things. No, 'Private Time' means…sex!"
"Oh..." Clark face reddens at the mention of the word, he understanding now what they were talking about.
"Do you get it now…or do you want me to show you?" Lois sarcastically says not realizing what she truly said, then it hits her making her face flush red.
Clark goes to answer but Lois stops him with her hand held up to him, Chloe and Pete laugh at her.
"Do not answer that question." Lois says then spins back forward to continue on.
"So, you two are mates?" Clark asks, assumes they are if they were having sex.
In the Kryptonian society two couples didn't have sex until they were bonded in a ceremony, something like earth's weddings and there was no such thing as divorce. Kryptonians bonded for life. There were a exceptions though i.e. Lex.
Lois wraps her hand over her mouth and started to giggle wildly as Chloe starts to choke on her spit, coughing at what he said, while Pete looks like he seen a ghost.
Clark eyes their weird behavior to his words. "Did I say something wrong?"
When the first bell rang everyone backed their stuff and filed out.
"Man I haven't seen Ms Miller that flabbergast since she found out I was in her class" Pete said "How big is your brain!"
"About the same size as yours" Clark said.
"Well cut it out! Your showing up the nerds around here!" Pete said "And it was first period too!"
"I'm…sorry?" Clark said.
"You will be when your trapped in your locker" Pete said then made a once over his friend "Although, I don't think the lockers would let you fit in there" and shuddered "I might have to be your substitute"
"Erm, what are you talking about?" Clark asked.
"The jocks!" Pete said.
"The people who rule this school?" Clark said.
"What? Oh, yeah! You catch on pretty quick!" Pete said "These guys are tough Clark and you being fresh meat and all, it would be pretty tempting to slice and dice you, not literally but I'm talking major psychological help"
"I'll try not to be their next meal" Clark said.
"Yea good thinking." Pete strides. "So, have you put any thought into joining the Torch, yet?" he asks as they make their way down the hall to their next classes.
"Colleges these days are looking for students who take the extracurricular classes...Besides I need another male around to help control those two."
Clark looks uneasily at Pete. "Umm, I'm still not sure about tracking down..."
"Meteor Freaks?" Pete finishes for him.
"Yea...don't you guys think it's a little too dangerous?"
"Hey, I agree with you man…just don't tell Chloe I said that, but you'll know soon enough. Chloe's drive to uncover the truth is unstoppable. Besides we've done a pretty good at getting ourselves out of dangerous situations. Well, mostly thanks to Lois. She tags along just to make sure Chloe is ok. So she says, but she enjoys it just as much as Chloe, maybe even more."
Pete grabs into his backpack, grabbing out some articles of Chloe's earliest work about the Meteor Freaks and hands it to him.
"Here's some of her work. She keeps track of all her cases by hanging them on one side of the wall in the Torch. She calls it her "Wall of Weird"."
"Wall of Weird?" he asks.
"Yeah newspaper clippings of all the victims of the Meteor rocks, that fell in the shower years ago, we were just kids when it happened." Pete explains.
"Do they know what causes people to change into these Meteor Freaks?" Clark asks looking at the articles, search person's case was different from the next, each one developing strand unnatural powers.
"The green meteorites that came with the Kryptonians in the shower...we don't know for sure how it cause the change in people, we just know that it does." Pete replies, pulling up his backpack strap on his arm.
Clark was afraid of hearing that, yet again his kind was responsible for another human tragedy.
"...It causes people to change, who are exposed to it too long. It gives them powers and like strange powers and believe me man some of them have some pretty strange powers."
Clark stares sadly at all the faces of the victims of the meteors, not helping but feel guilty about it. He knew it wasn't directly his fault, but his kind had seem to cause one problem after another for the humans, he understanding in a way why they hated his kind so much.
"What happens to them, when they're captured...are they destroyed?" he asks nervously.
Pete shakes his head. "Nah, I know we can be cruel sometimes but we're not inhumane...No, they're locked up in Belle Reeve, so they can't hurt anyone else. Since all Meteor Freaks seem to go crazy and are dangerous. Believe me, we've ran into some pretty nasty ones."
Clark looks at the many faces, people who where someone's kid, brother, sister, mother, father, etc or even lover. They didn't ask for this to happen to them and because of his kind, innocent people were turning into monsters...Freaks as everyone called them.
He struggles inside his mind on whether or not he should mention to Jor-El about the "Meteor Freak", maybe there was something his father or the Professor could do to change them back to normal. But before he could think any longer on the matter, Pete breaks through his thoughts.
"Well, Clark man your class is there…" he says pointing to the room across the hall. "…Mrs Archer's Algebra class. As for me, I'm heading off to see Chloe at the Torch, but don't worry about being alone, Lois has the class too. I'm sure she'll help you out."
"Yeah, help to make my life miserable." Clark jokes, getting a hang of the bantering between himself and Lois.
Pete laughs and pats his shoulder. "That's Lois for you. See ya around man." he says before disappearing off to meet Chloe.
Walking into the Torch Pete looked at Chloe who was sitting there with a big smile on her face. A smile that looked like she was a cat in cream.
"Okay Chloe I'm here" Pete said "What does the star Torch reporter want?"
"Your pick pocketing skills" Chloe said.
Pete looked at Chloe very confused "I don't have pick pocketing skills"
"Well the girls I chatted to told me you have magic fingers" Chloe said "Could do anything with them without the girl noticing, such as unhooking their bra for example"
Pete looks at his hands proudly "Yeah they are God's gifts to women" and looks at Chloe "What's your point?"
"I need you to get something from Lana's locker" Chloe said with a smile.
Pete raised an eyebrow and blinked.
"I am not going near that girl" Pete said "It took me two months to stop the clinging, the whining and the bitchin from her sister so I could be free from her and now you want me to open up those cans of worms. Worms that would devour me!"
"Yyyyyep" Chloe said.
Pete closed his eyes and pinched the top of his nose, trying to remain clam.
"Though blatantly I can see it" Pete said, looks at her "Are you trying to hook Clark up with Lois"
"Yyyyyep" Chloe said.
"Chloe, last time you played match maker I nearly had the fat sucked out of me" Pete said "And that time you got Lois to date that insane guy who'd make the sandman jealous with his party tricks"
"This is different!" Chloe stood up "Clark, is a normal healthy guy and Lois is, as far as I know, a normal healthy girl. It works and have you seen how they look at one another?"
"Yes but—"
"Have you seen the way they fight? It's all flirt"
"I know that but—"
"I really think Clark is what the Doctor ordered for Lois"
"CHLOE!" Pete finally snapped.
"What?" Chloe asked.
"What does it have to do with Lana's locker?" Pete asked.
"Well, Clark got some Lilies for Lois and Lana took them" Chloe said.
"Oh that's bad" Pete said "Lana is not going to let them go but that won't make me go near her. I am so not playing in you match making schemes!"
"I thought you might say that" Chloe said "So this is why I brought my little friend"
She pulled out a photo and showed it to Pete. He blinked and gulped before he looked at Chloe with a nervous smile.
"Whoever said romance was dead?" Pete said.
The final bell of the day rings, dismissing all the classes. Clark grabs his books up and stands like the others, they rushing out ready to enjoy what's left of their day.
Mrs Archer pats Clark shoulder as he walks out the door. "Very good job, Mr Kent. I look forward to the rest of your astounding work."
"Thank you, Mrs Archer." Clark nods and walks out into the crowded hall; kids dashing to their lockers or standing around chatting.
"Hey...teacher's pet, wait up!" a voice calls out.
Clark slows down his pace and turns around to the familiar voice to see Lois Lane running to catch up to him.
She stops in front of him and laugh. "...and you actually turned around."
He cocks his head to the side and gives her a playful stern look. "Hello, Lois."
She gives him a wide, teasing Lane smile. "Hey, Smallville." she greets back, pushing off her own books onto his for him to carry.
"Well since you're always being such a Boy Scout." she smirks at the look he gives to her, and walks on ahead of him. "Coming?"
They walk down the hall side-by-side, to a person who didn't know any better they would have been mistaken as a couple. Clark sneaks little glances Lois' way as they walk. She fights hard to keep the blush from claiming her face.
"Umm Lois...what is..." he begins to say but gets cut off by her.
"A Boy Scout is a good natured person who is always doing the right thing...like you...and a teachers pet is someone the teacher favors because they are really smart."
He turns his head giving her a pointed look.
"What?" she replies shrugging her shoulders. "I didn't feel up to another narration of 20 questions."
"That's not what I was going to ask...I was going to ask you what football is?"
"Oh..." she says, and shakes her head. "Well, football is a game...you take a ball run it down a long field and try to make score it in the opposing teams side. A game made for big bulging muscled guys, with little brains...like you, except for the little brain part, though at times I'm not too sure." she smirks teasingly, he rolls his eyes at her playfully.
"You know you really shocked the teacher, not to mention the nerds...I never saw their jaws gaped open so wide...and the way you end up correcting the teacher, her expression was priceless." Lois laughs.
"Yeah...so, I've been told already..." Clark says uneasily. "...well, the kryptonians are very intelligent and I was privileged to be able to study with them." he explains himself, opening up and she always was the one he felt more comfortable telling. "My Kryptonian master treated me like his son...he gave me and my uncle and aunt the best he could offer."
He feels a bit uncomfortable talking about the Kryptonians, him being one, since all humans seem to really hate them with a passion. Most of all though, he hated to lie, he was always taught to be truthful, that truth and honesty were the right way.
He understands why he has to lie, his life very well hanged in the balance, but it didn't mean he liked it any better, especially when it came to lying to her...
Clark catches himself starring at her and quickly averts his eyes when she looks at him. Her moth truns in a sight grin seeing him quickly move his eyes away, she doesn't comment on it but continues on with their conversing, she not one for awkward silences.
"I'm still sceptical about the whole kryptonian thing..." Lois lets out, shaking her head, Clark drops his head slightly by this. "...but I guess not all of them are bad...I mean look how you turned out."
Clark lifts his head up looking deeply into her hazels, giving her a charming smile...he didn't know why, but what she said meant allot to him and it kinda confused him.
Lois found herself drowning in his smile, her lips returning the smile back at him. How he manages to capture her so easily she'll never know. Quickly she turns her head, looking forward away from his eyes and clears his throat.
"So...how was your first day at Polk Dot High?" she quips, dismissing off what just happened a few seconds ago.
"Actually it was pretty good...things went better then I thought it would. The classes, aren't as challenging as I'm use to but I'm learning about the human culture-our culture." he quickly corrects.
"Spoken like a true nerd..." she teases, breaking a small laugh from him.
Lois looks at him unsure of how to ask, but she clears her throat and goes for it. "Well...I-I was wondering since you are so good a this Algebra stuff and I like basically suck at it...maybe you could tutor me, you know help me out until I can get it on my own?"
"So you want this nerd to help you out?" he teases back, causing a smile to cross her face, he was getting better at the sarcasm.
"Hey, don't get cocky coz your IQ "maybe" bigger then the rest of ours." Lois smirks playfully, her lips in a wide grin as she punches his arm playfully and continues to walk on, Clark close beside her.
They come to a crowd gather on one side of the hall intently listening to a fellow student speak harshly abut the Kryptonians.
Lois and Clark stop, curious about the whole scene. A student Lois knew, not personally but seen around, stood on top of a table getting the crowd in front of him fired up.
"What the hell is going on?" Lois asks, not directing the question to anyone.
"Looks like everyone is upset about something..." Clark adds as he looks at the scene before them, they move a bit closer to hear what the commotion was all about.
"We need to come against those Kryptonian Scum!" the guy on the table shouted, after each sentence he said the crowd cheers their agreements.
"They made our kind suffer long enough as it is...they stole our family, friends, turning them into slaves to work them to death or use them as items of pleasure..." his words causing harsh and angry words to erupt from the crowd.
"…our parents and even leaders of this suppose to be great country won't do anything about it, but we have to show them that not everyone is afraid to take a stand against those Freaks!" he shouts with rage causing the crowd to shout cheers and throw their hands in the air.
Lois sees the hurt expression on Clark's face, she knowing how much the Kryptonians meant to him, he grew up with them. One even raising him like a son, even though she didn't care much for the Kryptonians they were his family in a way.
"Come on lets get out of here." she whispers gently wrapping her hand around his arm and ushers him through the crowd.
"Well, if it isn't one of the poor fools now." he says, appearing in front of him. "Instead of fighting back he willing allows himself to be a slave for them."
Clark gulps becoming nervous as the guy in front of them eyes them over, looking for trouble, the crowd around starring at them intently as well.
"Brendon, why don't you go play rally the troops somewhere else?" Lois smirks, pulling Clark to come on, but Brendon side steps in their way.
"Why don't you shut the hell up and let the Big Boys talk!" Brendon says in a cocky voice glaring at Lois.
"Fine, when you find another Big Boy around let us know." she sneers back and grabs Clark's arm. "Come on, Clark."
He blocks their way again and sneers. "What are you his mother?"
This time Clark stand in front of Lois, protecting her, his face displaying anger as he narrows his eyes at Brendon.
"Finally, I was wondering when you were going to get some balls and stand on your own." Brendon crosses his arms over his chest starring up at Clark who overshadowed him by a few inches.
A couple of Brendon's right hand boys, bigger then Clark stands behind Brendon, sporting the same pose, and squeezing their fits together.
Clark instinctively keeps Lois behind him in case anything happens. "Anything you want to say, say it to me keep her out of this."
"Smallville, nice that you are all "defend her honor" and everything, but I don't need you to fight my battles." she smirks behind him, her arms crossed defiantly.
"Oh, how cute…" Brendon mocks. "…the Krypto Lover has made a girlfriend." his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I would have expected more Patriotism from you Lois, with your father being a 3 Star General of the U.S. army and all."
"Brendon, Bite Me!" Lois sneers.
Brendon leans his body over the side to look at her. "Just tell me where, Baby."
Lois rolls her eyes and scoffs. "Not even in your dreams."
Clark mimics his moves blocking Brendon's view of her. "I said leave her out of this!"
"Feeling kind of big there Krypto lover? What you going to do about it?" he asks, glaring up at him. "You see…I think they let your ass go to spy on us, see what we're all about and you report back to them…just waiting to find our weakness and attack."
This makes an outbreak among the crowd, insults and complaints come forth.
"They're not like that!" Clark shouts angrily. "They want to co-exist with us and share this world just like us!"
Brendon gets close to is face, breathing heavily as he raged with anger now. "They have a funny way of showing it!" he sneers. "They took my mom, my dad tried to fight back and he was killed...right in front of me!"
Clark face softens at what he hears, a wave of guilt washing over him. "I'm sorry for what happened, but to all kryptonians are like that...they're just as scared as us and all they want is to live on this planet together...peacefully."
Clark turns to walk away placing his hand on Lois' back and gently pushing her ahead of him, when Brendon grabs Clark's shirt.
"You're not going anywhere!" he pulls him back and wills his fist in his face, knocking him into nearby lockers.
Lois lets out a loud gasp at first by what happened then tries to charge at Brendon for what he did, but his boys grab her arms and holds her back.
Clark groans his first time feeling pain, he pulls himself up on his butt, leaning against the lockers and raises his hand to his mouth, a bitter and metallic taste attacks his tongue. He pulls his hand back to see his own blood on his finger tips, a sight never seen.
"Brendon leave him alone!" Lois shouts, as she tries to pull away from the guys grabbing her arms tightly.
Brendon ignores her words; he walks to Clark and stands over him.
"I'm going to make you wish you were back to your masters scraping crap from his boots." he grabs Clark up by his plaid shirt and rams him into the lockers.
Clark may have been human now but he was never lacking in defence, his father taught him ancient fighting techniques and his friend Lex had also taught him how to spar. Brendon would have been in real trouble if it wasn't for Clark's kryptonian nature and the way he was brought up, Clark would have just snapped then and there.
Brendon raises his fist back and lunges it forward about to hit Clark square in the jaw when Clark quickly raises his hands; pushing Brendon's arm to the side and stepping out the way as Brendon's fist smashes into the lockers.
At that moment Lois slams her elbow into one of the guy's that is holding her, into his stomach. She spins around and shoves her fist into the other guy's face. They both groan and fall to the floor, nursing the injured part of them.
Brendon grab his fist screaming in pain, from punching metal instead of Clark's face. Lois narrows her eyes, her hands rolled into fists about to go up behind him and do some damage.
Clark wraps his arm around her stomach pulling her back against his chest to keep her in place. Brendon turns around to look at them death shining in his eyes a he glares at them, his boys standing to their feet and stand behind him.
"You guys are so dead for this!" he sneers stepping toward them.
"What is this I see here?" the Principle boomed, stepping onto the scene as everyone freezes and halts where they stand. He eyes the five suspects looking guiltily back. "You five stay put. The rest of you…" he yells looking at the crowd of teens. "…out of here now or you can spend what's left of your day in detention." At that threat, the kids scatter; walking away and left the area going on about their business.
The Principle returns his gaze upon the five in front of him, Brendon speaks out first trying to twist the truth in his favor.
"I want Kent arrested, he attacked me and my friends!"
"Brendon, you lying snake!" Lois sneers starring coldly at him.
"Miss Lane, Quiet!" The Principle snap. "...there's no need to explain, I seen enough to put together the pieces..."
"Then you should know he attacked me!" Brendon says.
"Defended himself, Mr. Matthews. You and your friends here provoked the situation. Now you three in my office, there's some phone calls we need to make. You two boys can thank your friend for getting you two kicked off from the football team."
"This is Shit!" one of his friend complains, the other doing so too as they headed off toward the office.
The Principle directs his attention back to Lois and Clark. "As for you, any more trouble and you will find yourselves in my office as well." he warns. "Especially you Mr Kent, there's going to be people who just don't like you because of you being-were a slave to the Kryptonians and all...just steer clear of trouble for now on."
"Uh!" Lois starts, not seeing how any of this happen to be their fault.
"Yes sir, don't worry about us." he replies, nodding.
"Now if you excuse me, I have things to take care of." with that he leaves them.
Lois and Clark finally realize the position they are still in, Clark pressed up behind her with his arm wrapped around her stomach.
"Oh, umm excuse me." Clark replies sheepishly, removing his arm from her waist, his face tinting red a bit.
Lois shyly looks up at him, her mouth curled in a wide smile, she grinned so easily around her. She shakes her head breaking the trance he had on her. "Anyway, though I didn't need it...thanks for the whole standing up for me thing back there."
"Umm...yeah...sure...anytime." he tries to say in a macho voice, a little something Pete taught him.
Lois rolls her eyes and laugh at his act, and then notices his bleeding lip, as she stares at it intently.
"What?" Clark asks not knowing why she's starring at him the way she is.
"Your lip is bleeding" she replies "Hold on I think I have some wet clothes in my bag." she slings her bag off her shoulder only to drop it and spill her stuff on the floor.
"Oh crap!" Lois groans as she bends down to pick up the stuff, Clark leans down also to help. He hands her the stuff he picks up, and she replaces it back into her bag.
"Thanks." she says, taking the items from his hand, her skin brushing against him, they could feel something like an electric current dancing between them.
"You're welcome." he says in a low voice, it coming out more seductive then he meant for it to.
He didn't know why but something compels him to raise his hand, he reaches the short distance between them and pushes back her chestnut lock behind her ear, and slowly lets his hand caress her cheek as his hand drifts down.
Her hazels captivating his, as she drowns in his endless windows of ocean blue, their hearts pounding in one steady flow as they seem to be frozen in each others presence.
"Uh...thanks." Lois says, and quickly pulls away, rising to her feet, he doing the same. Her face fighting a blush that creeps upon her skin.
She puts the edge of the little square package in her mouth tearing the edge with her teeth and using her nails to rip it open wide to get to the wet nap. She raises it to his face and gently dabs his cut lip, wiping the blood off of it. He winces a little for the sting of the solution on the wet nap, irritating the cut.
"Sorry." she replies.
"It's ok...doesn't really hurt that much now." he said, starring into her eyes, that tries to avoid his. He rises his hand up to his, gently taking it into his, to stop her from wiping his lip.
"Thanks." he says still holding her hand.
Once again, she ends up breaking from the hold he has on her, she takes back her hand and throws the soiled wet nap in a nearby trash.
"Anytime." she smirks, mocking back his own words playfully, fighting this butterfly feeling he was causing in her stomach, then realizes the time, looking at her watch. "It's getting late, we better head off home."
"Yeah, I'm sure I'm needed around the farm." Clark replies, grinning happily, and she the reason for it.
"So, you sure you know your way home Smallville?" Lois asked.
"You sure you know your way home Smallville?" Lois asked.
"Yeah I'm sure" Clark said.
"I can always give you a lift" Lois said.
"It's okay, I'm gonna walk home" Clark said.
"You're going to walk home?" Lois said "Do you know how far it is?"
"I'm a fast walker" Clark said.
"And very fit too, what did you do at the Kryptonian lands to get you this fit?" Lois said as they stopped by her locker.
"Pretty much what I'm told" Clark said and the fact I build raceships all day would be part of it. he added quietly "See you around Lois"
"See you around…Smallville" Lois grinned.
Clark smiled and carried on walking by himself down the hallways. Lois carried on grinning, she turned to her locker and opened it up to find something had fallen to the ground. Looking down she was surprised. Ever so gently she picked up the Lilies from the floor and held them for a moment. She looked at them in awe before taking a deep sniff of them and smiled, looking at the direction Clark went down. Then placing some unneeded books in her locker and locking it, she walked to her car where her cousin was.
"Hey cuz, ready to get going?" Lois asked.
"You bet" Chloe said as she hopped into the car "Who's the flowers from?"
"I've got a secret admirer" Lois said.
Chloe grinned "See? High school's not so bad"
Lois rolled her eyes and got into the car.
"Where's Pete?" Lois asked, turning on the engine.
"Oh, he's gone home to take a shower" Chloe smiled secretly "Something about being dirty"
Tisa comes back, shovel resting on the shoulder

Tisa - "On what?"
VB - "You'll see, its a surprise"
Tisa - "I hate surprises"
VB - "I thought you like surprises?"
Tisa - "Not from you"
VB - "Why?"
Tisa - looks at VB, walks over to the door and knocks on it, almost immediately it begins to shake from the zomblexis "That's why"
VB - "Awwwwwww, you don't mean that" becomes serious "So found anything?"
Tisa - Grins "A lot of things, wanna see?"
VB - "Sure, I've finished with this recipe" looks at the audience "Review the chapter"

VB - Voice echoing over the place "BLOOMING HECK! WHO THE HELL LEFT THESE?"
