notes: When Xander's the new shop teacher at Smallville High, anything can happen.


"Isn't that the new shop teacher?" Chloe asked.

Down the hall, Clark saw Mr. Harris standing in front of the extra-curricular board. "Yes."

Chloe's eyes narrowed, her expression familiar. "Introduce me. Maybe I can get an interview for the Torch!"

"Chloe!" Too late. She was off, in a line straight as a speeding bullet. Clark had no choice but to follow.

"Mr. Harris?" Chloe asked brightly as she screeched to a halt.

The man looked down at Chloe, surprise in his eye. "That's me." He glanced up at Clark. "Mr. Kent."

"Mr. Harris." Clark attempted to smile. He didn't think the man bought his excuse from shop class yesterday. "This is Chloe Sullivan."

"Nice to meet you." Mr. Harris turned back to the board. "I'm trying to figure these out. Animal Husbandry? Back in California, that's what Crazy Rancher Bob did with his sheep." Then he paled and looked at Chloe and Clark. "Um, can we forget that I said that to two students?"

The bell rang, and Chloe took hold of Clark's arm. "We're late for English," she said. "Bye, Mr. Harris!"

As they slipped into their desks, Chloe said, "I think I like him."

Clark sighed.

It figured.

Nice. I can just see Xander standing there and doing that.

That's our Xander, for sure. You can take the boy out of high school, but you can't take the high school out of the boy.

*giggles* Classic cute Xander. And I loved Clark's reaction. What a perfect little vignette. I'd love to see more drabbles in this series!

I have a suspicion that will occur. The only bad part is, I haven't seen this season of Smallville, so I have no idea what's happening on the show. I don't really want to read the synopses pages...
