Study Buddies
Season 1, Episode 4
You should tell her, Gray. There's no way she doesn't feel the same."
====================================

Jade was sat on the back of a tractor watching as her brothers and dad praticed football plays.
"Red 57. Set, hut!" Clark shouts.
Jonathan and Jordan start running and Clark throws the ball. Jonathan catches it and starts to celebrate, before Clark uses his super speed, and grabs the ball.
"What?" Jonathan asks.
"Takeaway! Can't get cocky. It's a cardinal sin. Never celebrate until you cross the goal line." Clark tells him.
"Okay, guy who runs at Mach 10." Jonathan says.
"Ah, ha, ha. Go!" Clark tells Jordan.
Jordan runs off and Clark throws him the ball but Jordan fails to catch it.
"Well, that's why he plays defense." Jade says, turning back to Jonathan and her dad.
"Hey, you okay?" Clark asks Jonathan.
"Yeah. Yeah. It's just hard. It's like, I'm on the bench and then Jordan got the game ball." Jonathan says. "You know? I just don't know how thats really fair to the other players, to be honest."
"Well, he's not taking over the whole team." Clark points out. "There's room for you to step up."
"Not to mention things aren't great with Amelia." Jade adds.
"What? What has she told you?" Jonathan asks, anxiousness evident in his voice.
"Just that she fells like you don't want to be with her because you still like Eliza and you won't break up with her." Jade says, with a small shurg of the shoulders.
"Crap!" Jonathan says, placing his hands on his head and starting to pace.
"Don't worry, Jon. I straightened things out." Jade tells him.
"What did you tell her?" Jonathan asks, his hands falling back down.
"I just told her you want to do the right thing and break up with Eliza in person. She understood that." Jade says.
"Thanks." Jonathan says.
"Jonathan." Clark says, turning his two children's attention to him. "Your doing the right thing by waiting."
"Thanks, dad." Jonathan says.
"Clark!" Lois calls from the porch.
"I'll be back." Clark tells Jade and Jonathan, before walking over to Lois.
"Thanks for standing up for me with Amelia." Jonathan says, sitting next to his sister.
"Your my brother. And it wasn't really standing up for you." Jade says, before sighing. "She's a really great person, Jon."
"I know." Jonathan says.
"And she really likes you. Don't ruin it." Jade tells him
Jade then gets up and walks over to Jordan, giving Jonathan some time to think.

Amelia was sat in her kitchen with Grayson as the pair worked on a project they had been partnered up for.
"So how are things with you and Jonathan?" Grayson asks.
"Still waiting for him to break up with his girlfriend back in Metropolis. He's just waiting to do it in person. She's coming here in a week and he'll do it then." Amelia says. "What about you and Jade."
"Nothings happening between me and Jade." Grayson tells her.
"You like her, right?" Amelia asks.
"Yeah." Grayson replies.
"You should tell her, Gray. There's no way she doesn't feel the same way." Amelia says.
"What makes you so sure, hmm?" Grayson asks.
"The way she looks at you when your talking. The way you look at each other. It is so obvious to everyone but the two of you." Amelia tells him.
"I don't want to risk getting rejected, Lia." Grayson tells her.
"You won't. I know you, better then anyone, right. I just have that feeling. And you know my feelings are never wrong." Amelia says. "You go talk to Jade. I'll do a bit more of the project then we can finish it tomorrow."
"Are you sure?" Grayson asks.
"I'm positive. You can even leave your laptop here if you want." Amelia tells him.
"Thank you, Lia." Grayson says turning off his laptop and closing the lid.
"Just call me cupid." Amelia jokes, causing the pair to laugh. "I'll see you in a bit at Wallnitz's party."
Grayson quickly hugs Amelia before hurrying off.
"Where's Grayson going?" Danny asks his daughter, coming into the kitchen.
"He had to go talk to someone." Amelia answers, as she looks behind her, grabbing her laptop and bring it closer.
"Oh, okay. Don't over work yourself. Okay?" Danny says, walking over and kissing his daughters head.
"I won't." Amelia answers.
Danny smiles before walking back out the kitchen.

Jade was with her brothers at the bottom of the porch steps when their grandfather leaves the house in a rush.
"Guys, I got to head back to the DOD for an emergency." Sam tells them, walking past them, before looking back and walking back over to them. "I want to say... I'm sorry for the changes you're having to endure. Jade and Jordan, I know that your both showing signs of being special."
"Not that big of a deal really." Jordan says. "Well, at least not for me."
"Yeah, come on, Grandpa. They're just the same old barley above adverage kids." Jonathan jokes.
"Okay, well, what I do know is your dad is really special. I didn't want you to know that. Yet here we are. And given that your dad is the most important force for good in the entire world, that means you have an obligation, too." Sam explains.
"Which is?" Jade asks, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Don't waste his time." Sam tells them. "Try to think about the fact that when your dad gets distracted, lives are at stake. Understood?"
"Yes, sir." Jonathan says.
"Then act accordingly." Sam says, before walking over to his car, getting in and driving off.
"What do you think? You want to go to Wallnitz party or what?" Jonathan asks.
"Worried about Tag?" Jade asks.
"Yeah." Jonathan admits.
"Let me text Sarah for a ride." Jordan says, before Jade's phone goes off.
"You know what, I'll meet you guys there. There's something I got to do first." Jade says.
"What is it?" Jonathan asks.
"Nothing. Just. I'll meet you at the party." Jade says.
She sends her brothers a reassuring smile before walking off.
