Why this must be read: The author rocks at rapid fire dialogue and that is what a lot of this story is along with a good amount of human science vs being an alien. A very thought provoking character piece on Clark that touches on subjects the show rarely does.
Author's Synopsis - Clark's experiences as the only alien in Biology class with Chloe along for the ride. Chlark friendly.
Math was easy, chemistry was fun, and physics was oddly comforting, but Clark Kent hated biology. It was the study of life, everything from bacteria to humans, everything connected together in a great chain of being or whatever. Of course, in biology class it came out as a lot more prosaic and Aristotle-y than Disney-fied. Still, whenever he heard Mrs. Polanski go on about the web of life, he always got flashes of the Lion King.
Sometimes he hummed Hakuna Matata in class just to annoy her. Chloe, thankfully, managed via a dainty slap to the back of the head to keep him from breaking into a Timon and Pumbaa inspired chorus on most days.
But the underlying implication of every class was that everything on Earth was connected, belonged. Except that was the misnomer, wasn’t it? It wasn’t that everything on Earth was linked; it was that everything from Earth was. Going to biology class reminded Clark of fifth grade recess. The coolest boys in the grade had constructed a small fort in the scraggly patch of brush bordering the playground. He and Pete had both knocked on the door and waited to be let in. They stayed there all recess waiting for an answer, hearing the muffled giggles of their classmates. Technically, he was still waiting for an answer. But biology felt like that. It was this great, not-so-secret club that everyone else, even Shelby, belonged to and he just wasn’t invited.
Like he needed a daily reminder of what a freak he was.
