07 Jun Clark and Chloe first met in eighth grade when Chloe just moved from Metropolis to Smallville with her father
"I know you've been thinking about that all day, so let's get it over with so we can be friends." - Young Chloe kissing Young Clark
Clark was assigned by the school to show Chloe around on her first day, and she immediately asked where to buy a copy of the Daily Planet so she could "keep in touch with civilization". When he showed her around the Kent Farm, she wrongly assumed he was Amish.
However, when Clark showed her the bookcase in the Kent barn loft, Chloe was impressed and praised him for being a "gentleman farmer". She then admitted to Clark that she didn't make a lot of friends because her mother left the family and she spent way too much time reading. When she mentioned her favorite book Tales of the Weird Unexplained being lost in the home-moving, Clark supersped away to the local library and fetched a copy of the book for her. Chloe was genuinely touched and gave him his (and her own) first kiss. Since that day, Chloe developed a profound crush on Clark, as he was the first person next to Pete Ross who was nice to her in the new town. [8]
Freshman Year
Clark and Chloe worked together on their high school newspaper, the Smallville Torch with Chloe as the editor. She was Clark's "boss" in a way, supervising and assigning his contributions to the paper. While at school, Clark saved Chloe's life from murder attempts by Coach Walt Arnold and Sean Kelvin.
High School
After Chloe was pushed out of a window by thieves at the Luthor Mansion and broke her arm, Clark felt guilty over not being able to save her and tried his best to bring the thieves to justice. Claiming he was simply concerned, Clark became defensive and jealous each time Chloe received attention from another boy.
