Please, Please Review.......



Clark, you are so full of crap!"

"Chloe says it as it is." Clark replied with a smile.

"Chloe Explains it all." Pete amended.

"And you didn't watch Nickelodeon!" She chided. "Honestly. You guys...are...."

"Are what?" Clark said with a smile.

"Guys!" She bubbled. "Guys, guys, guys!"

"I should hope so." Clark deadpanned.

"Watch it, Kent."

"Or what?"

"I hold the power of the Torch in my hand, thank you very much...and holy cow...who in the heck is that with Whitney?"

Clark craned his head. Please don't be some meteor freak. Don't be a villian. Be normal. Be normal. All he wanted was
a normal school year. The summer had been a pretty quiet one, like in the days....before.... "I don't know, Chloe. I've never seen him before."

"He's hot."

Clark wrinkled his nose. "He's not."

"Kent, you are an idiot. He's....he's....he's....very...very...."

Pete sighed. "You guys really need to get out more. Clark, my man, you are fighting Chloe over a guy being cute. Why do you care, or is there
something that you're not telling me?"

Clark rolled his eyes. "Oh yes, Pete. I have strong, strong feelings for Lex."

"Ewwww."

"I second that ewww and raise you an ick." Lana sat down beside Clark. "The things you miss when you go to the bathroom."

"I...I....I wasn't...I was....ki....."

"He was kidding." Pete started to clarify. "Chloe was checking out the dude by the door with Whitney."

Lana craned her neck. "He's hot."

"See?" Chloe bubbled. "That guy does good things for a pair of jeans."

Clark leaned his head against the table. Lineoleum was cool. Soft. And no one could see how red his face was this way..

"Whitney!" Lana called. "Over here."

Pete and Chloe slid over, as did Clark and Lana. Kyle sat next to Chloe while Whitney sat next to Lana and stretched his arm around her shoulders.

Clark groaned. Why couldn't he have gone to Kansas State? Far, Far away off into the wild blue yonder...

"Guys, this is Kyle. He's my roommate. Kyle, these are some of my friends, Lana, Clark, Pete, and Chloe's beside you."

"Hi." Chloe said with a blush. "Whatever made you come to Smallville?"

"Good scholarship." Kyle said with a smile. "Plus I had to get out of my hometown."

"Oh, I know." She said, shaking her head and causing the golden mass to wave. "I plan on leaving right after graduation. Hello Metropolis, Hello Daily Planet,
Hello, Fame and Fortune!"

"Chloe's not a local. She's an implant...she moved here during Junior High and still has visions of Metropolis." Pete said with a chuckle. "But the rest of us
are old timers. Smallville born and bred."

"Like it's a good thing to be Meteor Queen?" Chloe said with a chuckle. "No thank you."

"It's better than Miss Crash." Kyle said with a chuckle.

"Miss Crash?"

Damn it. He'd made it 8 hours without mentioning Roswell, and now he'd blown it spectaculary. Soon the alien questions would start...and the whole thing
would be a gigantic mess of...poo.

"Uh...I'm from Roswell...you know the big Alien Crash? We feel morally obligated to celebrate that event every year."

Chloe's eyes widened. "You must have some pretty cool stories."

"Uh...huh?"

"Chloe's a budding reporter." Pete explained.

"I'm not a budding reporter. I'm a star reporter waiting to be discovered." She huffed. "Weird occurances are my specialty. So do you believe in aliens? Do they really exist? Did you ever meet any?"

Kyle swallowed and picked up his menu. "So what's good to eat here?"
