6B: Hallucinate

I woke up lying in my bedroom. I spotted my alarm clock, and realized that I was gonna be late for school. I had my Lit final today in Ms. Norton's class, the last test before summer break, and I'd spent all last night. . .wait, where WAS I?

I could hear Clark calling. "Chlo, get up! Please wake up!" I called back to him, but my mouth wouldn't open. It was shut tight. I wanted to tell him that I'd never leave him. That I loved him. . .that I would love him until the day I died. But I knew he couldn't hear me. "Chloe I'm sorry. Please, get up! I'll do anything." Hehehe, even date me? Of course not. You look at your father with more romantic desire than you do with me. Clark, I'm the girl of your dreams masquerading as your best friend. Whoa, dejavu. Maybe I should stick to decaf. This whole moment seems so familiar. . .but I can't place it.

"Come on, cuz, please. . .you're strong, you can pull through this!" Lois? Of course you're with Clark. I know you too well, Lo, I see the was you and Clark act around each other. You pretend to hate him, but I know better. You act so much like a married couple, and it's SO obvious! You WANT him. And ya know what, cuz? I think he wants you. Face it, Clark and I are over. Done. Caput. But you! You two have a clean slate. Love him and never let him go. Don't make the same mistake I did. . . They're still calling me, and I still have an hour before 1st period. . .Damn, I don't wanna get up yet!

"Five more minutes!" Chloe growled, rolling onto her side.

Lois and Clark looked at Chloe, eyes red and puffy, but suddenly filled with joy and laughter. Chloe pulled through. Granted, she was a bit cranky, but neither of them could ask for anything more, except for the safe return of their dear friend.
