When Clark pulled him out in the playground to the field, Pete knew something was up.
“Don’cha wanna play with Richie Rich?”
“No.” But Clark was never good at hiding his feelings.
“You said he was the best thing since chocolate chips!”
Then he got red and Pete laughed.
Clark leaned in and whispered in his ear.
“What music do you play to get kisses?”
Pete sat Indian style and patted the ground next to him.
“Tell Dr. Pete all about it.”
“What do doctors know about kisses?”
“I’m a psycho.” Pete said proudly.
“What do those do?”
“They help you with people problems.”
“But you didn’t even know how to woo.”
“Hey, who’s the psycho here?”
Clark sat. He had to play along or then he wouldn’t get advice.
“So, who do you like?”
“It’s a secret.”
“But you can tell me.”
“I don’t wanna.”
“It isn’t Lana, is it?”
“NO!”
“All right. Dr. Psycho Love is in the house.” He stroked his chin just like the real doctors. He really needed a beard to make it more real.
He leaned in and whispered in Clark’s ear.
“You gotta play something they got the word love in it.”
“Like Barney!”
“Eww. No. Something bouncy.”
“Like the hamster song?”
“Getting warmer.”
“I got a Disney tape.”
“Perfect! You’ve got it in the bag.”
“What’s in the bag?”
“You’ve got a lot to learn about hearts, Clark.”
“Guess so.” Clark leaned back and watched the clouds.
Pete held out his hand.
“I charge five hundred an hour.”
“Five what?”
“Clams.”
“How ‘bout bugs? We don’t got an ocean.”
“Okay, but they have to be really gross.”

Lex was determined to remain cool towards Clark.
But then the boy ran up and hugged him.
Just like that.
“Hi! Didja miss me?”
“No.”
“Not even a teeny tiny bit?”
“Maybe.”
Clark took Lex’s hand in his.
“You still coming over?”
Lex even forgot why he was mad.
“Sure.”
