Why this must be read:
Brown Betty has been recced a frillion times but she deserves every single one. I've always been frustrated with DC's depiction of the non-relationship between Clark and Kon-el which is why in my corner of reality, beyond the River Denial, those two have father-son bonding picnics off-panel. In this little gem, Brown Betty shows Kon's not-so-hidden hero worship for Clark. He's got mighty big shoes to fill, he knows it and he's his own biggest critic.
Clark's the best there is, and if he plans to be(come him) worthy of the S, he should study Clark, figure out the how and the why and the thing he does where you know he's the best person on the planet seven minutes after meeting him.
But he doesn't want Clark to (notice) feel weird about him staring, so he sneaks sidewise looks as he (fails) tries to eat his fries neatly. Clark, of course, has brought his own, healthy, bag lunch, maybe in case Kon had forgotten that he's a teenager who loves grease, and Clark is grown up and responsible.
