Straight after school I was packing a duffle bag and a handbag. I was going on another first aid course this one. This one was one i was supposed to take in the summer but it was reschedule for this weekend, In Kansas City. My train was in two hours and Dad was driving me to the station. Mom and Dad weren't so happy about missing a couple of days off school but in truth they were encouraged by the principal Kwan who was happy one of the students was taking such a interest something different and useful.
"Mia, you ready to go?!" Dad called as I zipped up throwing it over my shoulder
"Coming." I jogged down and he offered to take my bag, so I gave it to him then hugged mom
"Call us if anything happens and we'll come and pick you up." she told me. I laughed a little and held her hand to sooth her nerves
"It's two nights in a hotel. I will be fine, I promise. I'll call you tonight." She kissed my head and let go. I turned to Clark "Have fun looking budding up with Luthor. Try not to get into any trouble while I'm gone."
"How can i when you take all the trouble with you."
"Your hilarious. Don't forget to pick up my work, I cannot fall behind for anything." he nodded and i left the house with the others following me. i got into the truck and Dad drove us away. Dad saw that I got onto the train and I settled into my seat.

When I got to the hotel, was checked in and then finally left alone. I rang home to set my parents mind at ease. Then I settled in for the night reading, though the peace didn't last long as my phone started ringing. It was Whitney.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask marking my page and setting the book to one side.
"Can't I ring a friend. And before you sass back about the friends comment, yes we are." he asked and answered.
"Okay...friend. How can I help?"
"Lana dragged me to this museum event in Metropolis with her aunt and guess who's also here." he replied and I put a hand to my face covering my eyes for a moment.
"Clark." This had Lex's fingerprints all over it. I didn't even need to be there to know. He was firmly team Lana and Clark. And he was beginning to have an annoying knack for interfering with my brothers life.
"In one. How's the course?" he wondered
"It starts tomorrow. Two days and I will be one of the youngest qualified to deal with EMT like situations without the full EMT course. So if you break your nose trying to tackle my brother, I can help." he laughed which made me do a little as well "Tell me, why don't you just talk to her? And I mean talk. Don't do what I do and yell, because that just ends in a fist fight."
"Because anytime i try she call me jealous, or she gives the whole why aren't you giving me breathing space."
"Oh...oh breathing space, is that what she said?" I wince
"Is that bad?" he wonders
"According to the teen movies it is. That's code for I'm maturing above you and I low key am gonna end up with the nerd in the last five minutes." I answer "The talk is pretty much useless at this point."
"You're not being very helpful." he groaned
"Oh...I was supposed to be helping? Well you didn't mention that. If you wanted helpful, Mia, you should have waited till our next tutoring session." I sassed "Whitney, I'm in a different city and no way to be of real help. Even if I was there I probably wouldn't be much use unless you wanted to see a cat fight." he laughed
"Who's that?" I heard Lana question
"Just one of the guys, making plans for after school tomorrow." he lied
"Whitney Fordman, lying to his girlfriend ladies and gents. She has defiantly driven you to the dark side." I joke
"Shut up. I will speak with you tomorrow." he replied
"Good Luck." I hung up
------------
The next day I was in the First aid class and we broke away to have a break, when yet again my phone started ringing. Honestly I was more popular away than I was there. I sat down with my plate of food and answered.
"Hey, Chloe."
"Mia." she cried and I sat straight hearing her sobs on the other end of the phone.
"Chloe, what's wrong?" I inquire
"Kwan closed down the paper and Lana offered to help. Only she stabbed me in the back and was made editor without even fighting for me to be reinstated. of Course Clark sided with her, like always." she sniffed
"Oh, Chloe. I'm sorry."
"The weird thing is for a second I thought she was my friend."
"Chloe, Chloe. You need to breath, winding yourself is only going to make you sick. Take deep breaths." I instructed and she did so "That's it. That's it. You're doing great."
"I'm sorry for ringing while you were busy."
"It's fine, you've helped me with my meltdowns, it's only fair. I'll see you when I get back okay?" she hums and then hangs up. I relax back in my chair and grab twirl my fork around. Everything really does go on when you're not there.
--------
Chloe offered to pick me up from the train station. She drove me home and accidentally revealed the full scope of what I had missed, assuming that I knew and I was just told to stay where I was out of safety. When we pulled into the farm I thanked her and got out, running inside. There my parents were with my brother.
"You've been in jail!" I exclaimed and they turned to me "For murder?"
"Mia, how was..." I cut Mom off
"My first aid course is nothing to the fact that you hid that Dad got arrested from me." I retort "Why would you keep me in the dark?"
"Sweetheart, we only wanted to protect you. Besides the charges were dropped and everything's okay now." Dad assured me
"That's not the point, you would have a fit if the shoe was on the other foot. Now tell me what happened." I sat myself down "From the beginning."
