Super Beginnings

Chapter sixty nine - Just the beginning

Clark and I return home and find out parents working out in the barn. They see the two of us come in and how we are looking.

"Hey you two. Something wrong?" Dad asks

"A journalist from the Inquisitor wants to do a story about Mia and me." Clark told them " He knows about the truck. I don't think it was an accident, I think he set it up to test me or us."

"How did he know either of you would survive?" Mom questioned

"He must have seen us do something before. Look, I swear ever since Phelan, I've been so careful. And it can't be Mia because she's paranoid." Clark defended. I had to give him that one it was true.

"Clark it's not your fault." Dad tried to assure him

"But what do we do?" I ask

"Carry on, go to school, take Chloe to the dance, sort your issues out with Whitney and if this reporters really got something, I'm sure he'll come talk to us." Dad instructed and and Clark stopped short

"What else?" Mom inquired and I was curious too.

"I think Lex has a piece of the spaceship."

"He what!" I yelled "Are you sure like really sure? Explain right now." I ranted at my brother

"I saw it on his desk it's the missing piece. He must have found it in the feild. I don't know if he suspects anything, but who knows what he'll do? We all know how persistent Lex can be..."

"he can't trace it to us." Mom states

"Your mothers right. We'll just keep our heads low. So when either of you do your chores or anything else don't use your abilities. Whatever you do neither of you go to that storm cellar."

Mom came into my room with a smile on her face while i was doing my homework.

"What?" I ask. She went over to my wardrobe and pulled out my dress "What are you doing with that."

"Helping you get ready." she smiled

"I'm not going, Whitney's leaving so I'll be taking him to the station. Besides It's morning." I reply

"No fuss, now come on, do your make up and I will do your hair." I gave her a weirded out look "Just, come on." she insisted and i sighed moving off the bed and over to my dressing table. I did as i was told and did my make up. Mom brought out the curling iron and did my hair. Half a hour later I was helped into my dress and told to go downstairs. There waiting for me was Whitney in his suit.

"What's going on?" I question

"Well since I couldn't take you to Spring formal. I'm bringing Spring formal, to you." he beamed as i reached the bottom step. He leaning in and kissed my cheek "I know you were looking forward to this and I didn't want to let you down so I came up with this last minute."

"Thank you."

"Okay, picture time." Mom chimed getting the camera and holding it up. Mom took several pictures and when she finished Whitney lead me out to the barn and up to the loft where he had decorated it with streamers and there was music playing.

"Can I have this dance?" he bowed to me and I giggled

"You may." he took my hand and pulled me in close. The two of us began to sway to the music and I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Will you wait for me?" he asked softly and i looked up

"Of course." i promised and leant my head back on his shoulder
