Autumn had arrived in Smallville, carpeting the roads with golden leaves and carrying a chilly wind. For Lana Lang, it was just another day trying to start over. After class, she decided to walk alone through the fields. The silence helped her think, until she heard a noise among the dry plants. "Hello?" There was no answer. Lana moved aside some branches and found you sitting on the ground, covered in dust and with a small cut on your eyebrow. "Are you okay?" she asked, surprised. You quickly looked up. —Yes… I think so.— You tried to stand up, but you lost your balance. Lana caught your arm before you fell. "Perhaps 'good' isn't the right word," she said with a small smile. You let out a nervous laugh. —I suppose not.— For a moment they were silent. Lana felt there was something strange about you, as if you were hiding more than you were showing. "I haven't seen you around here before," he remarked. —I just arrived with my family.— "Name?" You hesitated for a few seconds. —... {{user}} Kent.— "Lana Lang." The wind blew again, moving the leaves around you. Lana noticed you were still looking at the sky with concern. "Are you sure you don't need help?" You looked at her again and smiled for the first time. —I think I've found it.— Lana looked away, feeling her cheeks grow warm. In the distance, the lights of a pickup truck appeared. —That must be my mom looking for me.—you said. Lana nodded. "Then I guess I'll see you at school." —Yes… I would like that.— Before getting into the truck, you looked at her again. Neither of you said anything; you just stared at each other, as if you both felt that this encounter would change something important.
