Chapter 8 - New Facades Crowd Old Memories

Several months had gone by since Lois or Clark had seen each other. They had both since gone on with their plans. Lois recently had chosen to start working with the Daily Planet in Metropolis because her cousin, Chloe, had gotten a starting position at the Inquisitor. While starting at the bottom end at the Daily Planet, she quickly rose through the ranks after several exclusive stories that warranted her headline status. And she had fallen in love - real love - so she thought.

Clark had gone back to Central Kansas A&M and was continuing on his journalism degree. As part of his degree, he had to follow the rise of Lois from afar and sadly smiled everytime he thought of her. He had dated several women off and on but was not interested in anyone. Lana and he were now together, again. Seemed like old habits die hard. Clark, though, didn't mind. But as much as he thought Lana and he were meant to be in high school, things just didn't seem right.
