A/N: Sorry it took us a while, we've been busy. But we plan to post a lot more frequently nw. So here's the next chap and PLEASE review! Thanks.

Chloe walked into the small halls of Smallville Middle with a bit of kick in her step. Life in this dinky small little town may not be so awful after all. Kissing two hot guys did that to a girl. Chloe was worried that both Clark and Davis thought she was some kind big city tramp or something. Although it wasn't like she initiated both kisses although she really didn't mind that Davis did initiate that kiss. She felt fire crackers and electricity. With Clark it felt nice and sweet but with Davis well sweet wasn't exactly a way to describe it. But she was only thirteen years old what did she know about kisses.

Chloe bounced as she saw Lana wave at her. She smiled at Lana. Hey why not give Lana chance? She was nice and pleasant and maybe this whole opening up to make friends' thing wasn't so bad after all. She couldn't hide by books and by lines forever.

"Hey Lana." Chloe said brightly.

"Hey Chloe. Where'd you go yesterday?"

"Oh, Clark was giving me the tour."

Lana looked surprised and looked like she was hiding something, "Wow, you actually got Clark to show you around. That's impressive."

Lana starting sipping abottle of water.

"It wasn't that hard he's a gentleman and so is his brother."

Lana coughed and spit out the water on the ground in shock.

"Wait a second Davis actually talked to you?"

"Yeah, he's … intriguing."

Lana gazed at her with her wide doe eyes shocked and said, "Wow, Chloe no one can get passed one Kent boy's armor but two? Are you some kind of miracle worker or something?"

"Or something." Chloe smiled triumphantly. Sure it wasn't a competition but she had the feeling that Lana was seriously envying her. Being envied by a picture perfect cheerleader did feel good.

Then Lana said trying to hide her excitement and said, "So what were they like?"

Chloe laughed and Lana asked, "What?"

"I'm the new one. I'm supposed to be asking you what their like."

"Yeah, but you're the one that got them to open up it one day."

"Oh, come on they just showed me around. I actually have my ways when it comes to finding out new things. Curiosity does that to me."

"Well, I admire it, it sure works for you."

Then Chloe turned around and saw Davis and Clark on the other side of the hall way she waved at them and Clark waved back his face looking like he was in pain and Davis didn't even wave he grabbed Clark and they left in the opposite direction. Davis didn't even look at her. The guy kisses her last night and the next day he completely ignores her. What was up with that?

Then Lana said, "I thought you said you talked to them?"

"I did." Chloe said looking at the back of them, perplexed.

Later at lunch Chloe sat with Lana and turned around looking at Clark and Davis they were both talking in their own little world. Ok so she thought she bonded with them, maybe it was an accident or Davis just had to get some where so then she waved at them. And Clark waved at her but Davis did not wave at all. He sat there telling Clark something. And then Davis just left, just like that. He was ignoring her. There was no other way around it. What was his problem?

Chloe could not help but think of how annoying Davis was being all day. What kind of guy just kisses you and ignores you the next day? A jerky guy that's who.

Then later that day in study hall Davis sat next to her and said, "Hey Chloe how's it going?"

Chloe ignored him. See how he liked it. She kept her concentration on her school work. Davis kept on staring at her and said, "Chloe. Come on."

Chloe didn't look up from her paper and said, "What so you're actually talking to me now?"

"Yeah."

Then Chloe slammed her notebook shut and said, "You ignored me twice Davis. Twice. And now you want to pretend nothing happened."

"I wasn't ignoring you."

"Davis just stop. I'm a keen observer, alright. I can detect BS from a mile away and you're full of it. This whole friend's thing isn't going to work if you're going to be bi-polar about it."

"Chloe, I know you're smart. That's why I was surprised you were hanging out with the pink princess."

That jolted Chloe. Sure she had been known to make fun of cheerleaders from time to time but that was mean. Then she asked offended, "What is that supposed to mean?"

"I just didn't think you were the type to become another popular drone. I thought you were above all of that."

"Drone? Ok I'm not one to defend cheerleader zombies but Lana is nice, she showed me around, and she's not judgmental. So I figured in this new school if I can give this whole friends things a try then I could look past the pom-poms and give Lana a chance."

Davis sighed deeply and said, "Chloe if you want to be friends with me and Clark then you can't hang out with Lana all of the time."

"Davis we just met and you want to control who my friends are. I think I don't want to have such a possessive friend."

Chloe said as she opened her notebook getting back to work.

Chloe tried to ignore him. Who did he think he was trying to control who her friends were? What gave him the right? They met yesterday. Sure it was great to become friends straight away but that didn't mean she had to be exclusively his friend. He was starting to feel like an obsessive abusive boyfriend she had read about who tried to control their girl friend's life by controlling her friends. And Chloe wasn't even his girlfriend. Chloe would stop the dysfunction right away.

Then she gazed back at Davis his head was now laying in his folded arms laying on his desk. Poor guy. She thought. Too bad he had to be so archaic.

The next day she was talking to Lana when Lana said, "So have you talked to the Kent boys lately?"

"Not since Davis practically told me not to be friends with you. That's a little too Neanderthal for my taste."

"Really? Don't I feel special? I always had feeling he hated me. Thanks for sticking up for me."

"No problem we girls got to stick together. Right? I'm sorry about Davis I don't know what his problem he seemed so nice."

"It's ok Chloe that's just the way Davis is. He barely talks to anyone. And you actually got him to speak that's a pretty amazing feet."

"Yeah."

"I mean the only friend he has is his brother. A life like that can get kind of lonely."

Chloe examined Lana's face surprised at her insight. She really wasn't the average everyday cheerleader she was used to. She sensed some deeper seeded pain behind those doe eyes.

Later that day at lunch she gazed back at Clark and Davis both looking like they were in angsty pain. Her heart went out to them. She knew what it was like to be a loner. She knew what it was like to be an outsider looking in. She thought about what Lana said about how lonely their life must be. At least they had each other. One of her best times was when she visited her cousins at her uncle's base. She felt like she belonged she didn't feel so alone when she was hanging out with Lois and Lucy. She felt at home even though they did mostly play in dangerous areas of the base and Chloe usually got Lois and Lucy in a lot of trouble trying to uncover top secret information. Lois had a great way of getting her little sister and little cousin out of trouble if not by bluntly blurting out other officers embarrassing secrets.

Chloe knew that felt nice but to only have that, well it was better then what she had. She had her dad and she loved him but it wasn't enough. She did need friends in her life. She liked to read and she loved a good mystery and she was always getting in trouble with some authority figure when she tried to expose some big bad. A lot of kids in her old school would laugh at her not so normal theories about the strange things that some times went on in the city, saying she read the inquisitor one to many times. Chloe always abhored the Inquisitor and any rag tabloid like it. So those comments always got to her. So friends were scarce but here she is in this small town with a fresh start and another shot at friends. She didn't plan on making a lot of friends. She figured her inquisitive nature would get her in trouble like always. But in a day she already had three friends and two of them were already conflicting.

She looked back at Davis and the tortured look on his face. She so wanted to see that smile she saw on him last night. He practically lit up the whole night sky with his smile. She longed to see it again. She knew he was a loner so naturally he wouldn't all of the sudden be making friends with the head cheer leader. She still didn't like that he tried to restrict her from being friends with Lana but how was he supposed to come up to Chloe and talk to her with out talking to Lana and others like her. So she thought she would give Davis another chance.

As she was about to get up she noticed Clark and Davis seemed to be arguing about something and then Davis stood with a jolt. Then he looked at Chloe they locked eyes Chloe felt herself blush and she immediately tried to hide it. Then Davis took a deep breath and walked towards her. As he got closer he looked as if he was in severe pain. Chloe worried that she hurt him to much when she told him she didn't want to be friends. The first time he actually tries to make a friend he gets burned the next day. Then he struggled as he staggered over to the lunch table. Lana turned around and noticed him and said, "Wow, Davis is coming here. Miracle."

Then Davis tripped and fell. Most of the cheer leaders at the table laughed and Chloe yelled, "What's wrong with you zombies?"

Then she rushed to Davis and helped him up, "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, now."

"Lets get go back with your brother."

"Yeah. Sure." Davis said meekly.

Then Chloe helped Davis to the table where Clark was gawking amazed. Then Chloe and Davis sat down. After they both sat down and started eating both Chloe and Davis said at the same time, "I'm sorry."

Then they laughed and smiled and Davis said, "I didn't mean to tell you who your friends were."

"You don't have to be friends with Lana to be friends with me. But you were weren't you. You were going to do that for me?"

Davis shrugged and said, "It's not that big of a deal."

Then Clark laughed and then covered it up with some fries.
