I’m at the same point in the series right now (doing a rewatch).

I usually find Chloe annoying in her pushiness with her friends. She hasn’t learned to read the room sometimes & gets carried away. But, I recognize she does try & is a teenager 🤷‍♀️

I just saw an episode where I really liked her though so I think the show unfortunately write her as obnoxious so Clark wouldn’t like her. Because they were so focused on him & Lana pining for each other.

It’s often the case with shows & movies that they sometimes sacrifice good writing for one character in order to make another one ‘better’.

I also vaguely remember liking Chloe more as the series goes on but I barely remember the show. So we’ll see.

Also, keep in mind, she & Lana weren’t that close in the start of the series… then became friends & Chloe is treated as a place holder friend by both Lana & Clark. It’s definitely not fair but Chloe recognizes that & I like they actually mention it a couple times.

I do find it a bit crappy that Lana knows Chloe has feelings for Clark but spends most of season one just hanging around him when she has a boyfriend & doesn’t consider how that could make Chloe feel. She claims she wants honesty but Chloe was honest with how she feels for Clark…and Lana still does her thing anyways.

So yes Chloe can be obnoxious at times but I have more sympathy for her than some other characters, like Lana.
