Kissing In A Tree 5.3
Must remember to tape HOUSE!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lex was feeling very neglected when he saw Clark particularly avoiding looking at him. He turned and watched a stiff Mercy return wordlessly to her seat. There was a new boy and girl entering as well, and Lex immediately recognized Chloe. The red head shadowing her was rather small and scrawny. He was no threat.
A note made its way to him.
Boss,
Mission went well. Other than PrettyC being hugged by the newsgirl.
M
Lex crumbled up the paper and gritted his teeth at the girl in glasses. She had the grace to at least bow her head. He then sent back another note to her.
What am I paying you all those kitty stickers for?
Subject is not to be hugged, tickled, held, tagged, ruffled, poked, cuddled, touched or kissed by anyone!
Understood?
She nodded after reading and tucked the paper in her jacket.
“Class, we have two new students. This is Chloe Sullivan and Wally West.” Mrs. Sanderson announced among the whispers.
The girl’s sharp gaze took the room in and was unimpressed.
The boy on the other hand, appeared to want to run around the room and greet everybody. He gave a big wave and started talking.
“Hiya, I’m Wally “Warp Factor” West. My mom says I am the handsomest boy in Edge City. I can stand on my head and run all the way to Coney Island in 20 minutes without stop lights. My favorite color is red, and I don’t like beets...”
“Mr. West, that’s enough. We do show and tell once a month.” Mrs. Sanderson hushed him.
“But I haven’t gone yet.”
The class laughed.
“Those desks must hurt to sit in. When do you get funding to change them?” The girl didn’t miss a beat.
Mrs. Sanderson mumbled something.
Lex was great at reading lips.
“The next Ice Age.”
He better ask his mom to make a sizable donation so he wouldn’t have a sore bottom or back eventually.
“Now please take your seats so we can continue class. Mr. West, there’s an empty spot directly behind Mr. Luthor. Mrs. Sullivan, there’s a seat next to Mr. Kent. He could certainly use you as a model for focus.”
“Can’t I sit with her? I want focus too! Pretty pretty pretty please! With a cherry on top and sprinkles and chocolate mint hot fudge and whip cream and caramel and strawberries and nuts and vanilla pudding and peanut butter! Please!” Wally got on one knee and held his hands out in supplication.
“No.”
Wally stomped off to sit behind him.
Lex watched the blonde stride over to the desk and wink at Clark.
Clark scrunched down in his seat and blushed, then started to scratch at his arms.
His tummy started to feel very hot.
He gripped the edge of his desk and desperately tried not to think about what happened. While Mrs. Sanderson talked about their new spelling words, Mercy snuck him another note.
Boss,
Tell me what to do and it will be done.
M
He drew a few pictures of Lana being eaten by T-Rexes to make him feel better while he plotted out his next action.
Finally, he wrote back.
Do nothing yet. Watch PrettyC like a hawk. I want to see what Cluey is up to. She’ll have Reddy with her. Call H for backup if things get unfortunate. Only use the slingshots if necessary.
He better watch the girl taking studious notes with more seriousness.
If she got too near Clark, Lex would not be happy.
And an unhappy Lex was a very bad thing.
My Clark!
