Chapter Four

***Fifteen minutes later****

"God Clark! Are you cheating or something?" Nick asked

Clark laughed, "No...I'm just getting better. I just needed some time to warm up."

Derek glared at him, "Oh yeah? I say your cheating!"

Clark stood up and towered over him, "Prove it!"

Derek stood up as well. He wasn't as tall or as muscular as Clark, but he had a fairly big build. "Dude, you've won every game since the girls got here! That's a little suspicious!"

Clark took a step forward, "So since im younger than you, you think you can just tell me im cheating because you suck? Maybe they're my lucky charm!"

Pete jumped up, but fell over. Chloe giggled and helped him up. He made his way over to Clark, almost toppelling over on two other senior boys. He grabbed Clark's arm, "C'mon man! We don't want to cause any trouble!"

Clark brushed his arm off, "No! He can't tell me I'm cheating because I win! What's up with that, huh?" he grabbed Derek by the shirt and lifted him off the ground, all 175 pounds.

Derek grasped Clark's hands and stared up at him, "It's okay man! I don't think your cheating! Come on! Lets play some more."

Clark loosened his grip and let Derek fall to the ground, "Yeah, so we can see if I cheat." He went back and sat down by Lana, who looked disturbed. "Come on, deal it up!" he decided he would purposely lose this time.

Derek shrugged and dealt. They went through the actions and Derek won this time. "Okay, whatever." Derek said.

Clark took a cup of water and threw it down his throat. Some of the boys started giggling like little grils. Clark suddenly felt very strange...nausea crept over him and his bladder went weak. "Oh no!"

Clark stumbled backwards, putting a hand over his stomach. He clenched every muscle in his jaw and stared at Derek, "What did you do to me?"

"Psh, do you really think you could fool me? I mean, it was obvious that you wouldn't win that one just to make us think that you weren't cheating."Hhe smirked, "Come on, clark, tell us your little secret."

Pete stood up again, but gravity had different plans for him. He went crashing to the ground, knocking over the bench that he and Chloe were sitting on. Chloe screamed and down they went, knocking over one of the water barrels on their way.

Water spilled all over, soaking Chloe. She groaned and tried to stand up, "Pete!" she felt very dizzy though, and she was unable to stand. On her way down, she bumped into the bench that Lana was sitting on.

Lana screeched as well and tumbled into the water spill next to chloe. "Uh, Chloe..." Lana said, very distantly. "This isn't water..."

Chloe focused her eyes and stared at lana. "Huh?''

''Smell your shirt," Lana mumbled. She sighed and sank back onto the grass, totally annoyed.

Chloe smiled at her shirt, "Oh i forgot i was wearing this shirt. I really like this shirt."

"Just smell it!" Lana mumbled.

Chloe dipped her head and smelt it and then drew back plugging her nose. "It smells like beer," she stated.

"That's because it is," Lana groaned.

Derek towered over the two girls who were sprawled out on the ground. "You finally discovered our secret," he smirked. "You didn't even notice how fun you were getting."

The girls glared at him and supported each other so they could get to their feet. Pete stood up behind him, "Dude...lets not start anything..."

Derek turned around and grinned, "I take it this isn't the first time you've been drunk."

Pete stared at him, knowing what he spoke was the truth but not wanting to admit it. He turned away.

Clark made a hurling motion forward and fell to his knees, partly landing in the fire. Derek's eyes widened and he stood motionless. Lana and Chloe screeched and jumped up to pull him from the fire.
