It's been a busy week
[Private post]
I've been so busy the past week. After Lex was released from the hospital in Alaska, we went back to Smallville. Lex didn't say it directly, but I knew he didn't want his father to know we'd ever been there at all. There would have been way too many questions. Lex called Bruce and he loaned us his private jet.
Lex and I sat down with my parents after we returned and told them what had happened. My parents were freaked out to say the least, but at least Dad was nice to Lex. Mom thanked Lex for watching out for me. I haven't gone back to the fortress yet. I'm kind of hoping it will go away, but I know it won't. I know it's up there in the Arctic waiting for me. I've been busy with so much and I really haven't had the time to think much about what it means.
Once we were back in town, I saw the extent of the devastation of the meteor shower. It wasn't as bad as the one that brought me to town, but it was enough. At least this time, nobody was killed. Lana was hurt badly, but she's on the road to recovery. Chloe has been by her side practically the whole time. They even moved back in together. They haven't said as much, but I think this whole ordeal has made them realize how important it is to be thankful for what you have.
Our barn was hit, but it's not so bad that I can't fix it. Dad and I have been working all week on it. I have to work at normal human speed because people would wonder why we had a new barn twenty-four hours after we started to rebuild. Our neighbor lost most of his house. I've been helping them rebuild and since I can't use my speed, it's been slow work. I don't mind. It keeps me busy. I only wish they would stop trying to talk me into dating their daughter. Jessica is a really nice girl, but her parents seem clueless about the fact that I am gay. Jessica keeps apologizing for them. She said she tried to explain to them that she's not my type, but they do the equivalent of humming and sticking their fingers in their ears. Just yesterday her mother hinted that I could take Jessica to our prom. I played dumb. That works so well since most people already think I am kind of dim. I told Lex about it and he joked that I better not run off with the farmer's daughter. I told him that if I could, I'd take him to my prom. Then I kissed him for a long time and rubbed up against him to show him just who I wanted to run off with. Sometimes I wish we could do just that.
I've been thinking about the end of my high school year. It's coming so soon and I'm not ready for it. In a month I'll be walking up onto a stage to receive my high school diploma and then there's the senior prom. It's all just around the corner and now I'm going to have to train with some disembodied voice in a cold far-off remote place.
I have so much studying and work to do. How am I supposed to fit it all in with some obscure training that I don't even have a clue about? I'm not too proud to admit that I am scared to death. I just wish my life could be normal for once.
