Few weeks later
Clark POV:
I didn't know when things started to change, but I knew that after that day—after that phone call to Sara—everything was different.
I was isolated. Cut off. Everyone turned their backs on me. My own kind.
The entire dynamic at this school felt off. Everyone who was human, everyone I thought I might have had some connection to—they turned away from me. I tried to talk to them, to explain myself, but I only got the cold shoulder. The whispers behind my back were louder than ever. I was shunned. Not by monsters, not by vampires or wolves—no, this time it was by my own kind. My own species. Humans. They turned their backs on me like I was the one who had done something wrong.
And that's how I found myself isolated. Alone.
