Casey glared angrily at her breakfast. Usually she would have been happy that it was the first day of school, but she just couldn’t help but hate the fact that she was starting at a school she really didn’t want to be at. She didn’t really have anything against Smallville High School; she just wanted to be back at school with Emily, Sam, and Max. She was really angry with her mom and George for forcing her to move AGAIN, this time to a completely new country and a new high school for her senior year. And she wasn’t the only ones either; Derek was really pissed off, although Edwin and Lizzie didn’t really seem to mind. Of course they minded that they would be leaving their friends, but they seemed really excited about moving to Smallville which really didn’t make sense to Casey because before her mom explained they were moving, she had no idea a Smallville existed in the United States.
“Come on Casey, you’ll meet lots of new people, and you’ll love the school. There’s a dance club that you can join. There’s even a drama club. ” Nora McDonald stated, handing her daughter money for lunch.
“Yeah… I’ll think about it.”
“You ready?” Derek asked, grumpily as he entered the kitchen. He was tired, and was just as angry as Casey was about starting a new school for his senior year. Casey nodded, and got up to get her book bag. Derek grabbed his book bag and they both left the house and got into Derek’s dark green Grand Cherokee.
Chloe Sullivan sighed sadly as she glanced around the classroom. Clark didn’t share this class with her and she didn’t see anyone that she really talked to, so she was kind of angry because she won’t have somebody to talk to. Chloe realized a girl she has never seen before head towards her. She looked nice, but seemed somewhat distracted.
“Hi, could I sit here?” the girl asked when she reached Chloe. Chloe smiled politely and nodded.
“Sure, I’m Chloe Sullivan by the way.”
The girl smiled, obviously relieved. “I’m Casey McDonald, and I’m new to this school this year.”
“Wow that has got to suck… where did you go before here?” Chloe asked, curious.
“Sir John Sparrow Thompson High School… it’s in Canada.” Casey stated, sighing.
“Canada? So you just moved here?”
“Yeah, we just moved here in August.”
“That sucks, I can understand, I had to leave my school to go to Smallville’s elementary school for eighth grade. This town isn’t so bad. If you haven’t already you should really check out the Talon on Main Street, it’s the best hangout place in this town. And it has the best coffee in town.”
“Sounds cool, I’ll definitely have to check it out.” Casey said, smiling. “Thanks.”
“No problem, what period of lunch do you have?” Chloe asked.
“Fifth...”
“Cool, I have it too, so if you want you can sit with me and my friend Clark Kent.” Chloe stated, politely, hoping she would agree.
“That would be really cool, thank you so much.” Casey grinned, very relieved and happy that she had someone to sit with at lunch. She highly doubted Derek would sit beside her, not that she really wanted him too, but he would have been the only person she knew at lunch.
“You’re completely welcome,” Chloe said, grinning as well.
“Good morning class, I’m Ms. Gordon and I’ll be your literature teacher this year. I would you like you all to grab a book of Macbeth up at my desk.”

A few hours later, Casey walked into the cafeteria with her bag of lunch and tried to spot where Chloe was. She was very pleasantly surprised to learn that they had shared two more classes with her then just Literature. She also had sixth and seventh periods with Derek, which she already knew since they got their schedule at the same time. Thankfully when she asked Chloe her class schedule, she found she also had both classes with her as well. There was only one class that she and Chloe do not share, and that was Study Hall.
She glanced over to a table and saw Chloe, Casey smiled relieved and walked over there. When she glanced around the table she realized a tall boy who was in blue shirt and jeans and… Derek. She began to frown as she saw the boy in blue and Derek talk, while Chloe listened as she smiled. She walked over anyway, although she really didn’t want to sit next Derek at all.
Chloe saw her first and waved. Derek and the other boy who must have been Clark Kent glanced over in her direction, causing Casey to blush. Clark Kent was indeed very handsome, and looked so innocent but strong/brave. And his smile was to die for… it made her legs weak just by looking at it. Neither Max nor Sam ever made her feel like this.
She moved a bit faster to reach them, but ended up tripping on an empty milk container that somebody must have thrown on the floor earlier. She closed her eyes in panic as she realized she was falling. Seconds flew by before her eyes opened in surprise when she realized her flight of falling was stopped by one strong arm. She could practically feel the muscle in his arms. Casey’s face was bright red as Clark steadied her.
“Thank you…”
“It’s no problem, you must be Casey.” Clark said, handing her lunch tray back to her, which was when Casey realized that Clark had caught that as well before it could fall to the ground.
“Yeah… how could you tell?” Casey said, jokingly as she let out a laugh at her klutziness.
“Told you she was a Klutzilla…” Derek said, laughing. Casey turned away from Clark and glared at her stepbrother.
“Shut up Derek.” Derek in turn only rolled his eyes. Chloe laughed.
“Ahh… Sibling teasing, how pleasant.” Chloe said sarcastically with a smile. Casey couldn’t help but smile. Chloe patted the seat next to her and Casey sat down with her lunch tray. Clark sat back down. “That’s Clark Kent, by the way, Casey. He helps his parents work on the Kent farm.”
“Really?” Casey glanced over to him, “That’s really sweet.”
Clark blushed slightly, causing Chloe to quirk an eyebrow in curiosity. “It’s the least I could do for them.”
TO BE CONTINUED… SOMEDAY.
