Nathaniel Kent

Chapter 5: Hourglass

2 Weeks Later

It's been 2 weeks since Tina died, and things were beginning to get back to normal, well as normal as they could be with a dimension hopping alien in a town filled with people affected by Kryptonite.

Currently Naruto was with Chloe at a party out in the woods "This is what I love about high school parties. People will gather anywhere as long as there's illegally purchased alcohol and even the slightest chance of hooking up." Chloe smiled

"Need I remind you, that you're the one who dragged me to this party." Naruto said

"You weren't doing anything else, but in my defense I didn't know it was going to be so cold. It's like twenty thousand degrees below zero out here." Chloe said

"Go sit by the fire and thaw out, I'll get us some beers." Naruto said causing Chloe to nod before she walked off, as Naruto turned to head toward a keg he saw Sean Kelvin a member of the football team

"Hey, Kent. You're friends with Chloe. Is she flying solo tonight?"

"You're not her type." Naruto said causing Sean to smirk as he glanced back to Chloe who was rubbing her hands by the fire

"Well, you'd be surprised." Sean said walking over to Chloe as Naruto shook his head and walked to get some beer

Sean walked over to Chloe and spoke "If you'd like, I could rub them for you. Nothing heats up a body like friction."

Chloe looked up at Sean and smiled "Wow. I can't believe you just delivered that line with a straight face."

"Well, all I did was offer to keep your hands warm, Chloe." Sean replied

"And he knows my name." Chloe said

"I've read your editorials in the Torch. Pretty cool.' Sean said sitting down

"Well, thank you, Sean. I sit next to Jenna in Bio class. Remember, you dumped her last week?" Chloe asked motioning over to a girl who was talking to her friends

'It was mutual." Sean shrugged

"So you're here trolling for fresh meat." Chloe scoffed

"Don't worry, Chloe, I'm not going to make a move on you, no matter how pretty I think you are." Sean flirted causing Chloe to slightly blush

"Yo, Sean! Hail Marys down by the lake!" Whitney yelled with a football

"Yeah, uh. Hey, can I get your number?" Sean asked getting ready to go

"Wh-why? You're never going to call." Chloe said

"I'll call you tomorrow, I promise." Sean swore

"Well, I won't hold my breath." Chloe said before she wrote her number on Sean's palm not seeing the smirk on his face, as he ran off

Chloe smiled before she jumped when Naruto held her beer in front of her "So Sean Kelvin huh?" he asked taking a sip of his beer as she took her cup

"Relax, I just gave him my number to get rid of him."

"Whatever you say." Naruto said before Chloe hit him with her shoulder

"Get Pete, the taxi is leaving." Chloe said walking off with her beer, as Naruto sighed as he tossed his cup, while standing up to see Lana sitting by herself on a truck, and instead of approaching her he walked off

Looking for Pete, Naruto came upon Sean trying to retrieve his football that was on the frozen lake, and hearing the ice cracking, Naruto took a deep breath and blew Sean to the other side of the lake to safety, and left him there, as he began to scream for help
