Trip all over...

Clark: We Iooked aIike,
but she couIdn't teII the difference?
And then she teIIs him
that they beIong together. Does that mean she doesn't feeI
that way about me?

Chloe: WeII, she isn't exactIy the same girI you
used to trip aII over in high schooI either.
She means to have a crush on, right? Or does she mean it literally since Clark tripped every
time he saw Lana?
Clark: I don't wanna taIk about this anymore.

Chloe: Right! I'm sorry I brought it up. Meaning she didn't mean to say it?

Hi Madhulk, She means to have a crush on, right? Or does she mean it literally since Clark tripped every time he saw Lana? Yes, I'd read it as 'had a crush on', and the 'trip all over' is more figurative than literal.
