Clarke is lying on her bed with her sketch book drawing a face she had seen only in her dreams. She would wander around looking for the girl that belonged to the face but couldn't find her anywhere.
Her bedroom door opens "Hey sweet heart."
Clarke shoves the book under her pillow quickly only to have it fall off the bed "Hey dad."
The man moves to the spot the book fell "Any new sketches?" Seeing the drawing of the girl "Who's this?"
Clarke shrugs "I don't know. I keep seeing her in my dreams. The drawing doesn't do her justice."
The man furrows his brow "Tell me about her then."
Clarke tilts her head "You aren't mad?"
The man raises an eyebrow "About you liking a girl? No. I don't care who you are with. As long as you're happy. So tell me about the girl."
Clarke smiles "She has long brown hair, these eyes that are so green it's mesmerizing. When I've talked to her she seems kind of hard but there's something more there. The way I feel when she's around my heart races and stops at the same time, my throat gets dry and the words get caught there. She's not here though. I only see her in my dreams."
A hand soothes her "You'll find her one day. Be patient and never lose hope. She is out there Clarke. Your happiness is out there."
Her smile grows "You think so?"
The man runs his fingers through his daughters hair "I know so."
A brunette opens her eyes, Those blues eyes again.
A voice hits her ears "You're awake."
The brunette looks towards the voice. The persons brown eyes making her feel guilty, Is this wrong? I am dreaming of a blonde girl with dazzling blue eyes. While mine is nothing like that.
The person asks "Are you okay Lexa?"
Lexa sits up "I'm fine Costia. How long was I asleep?"
Costia shrugs "A few hours maybe."
Lexa looks at the time "Seven. Why didn't you wake me? I had practice at five."
Costia sighs "You needed your sleep. You've been running yourself ragged with soccer, work and school. I was just looking out for you."
Lexa shakes her head about to say something but a knock on her door interrupts them "Lexa are you awake? You're going to be late for school."
Lexa answers "I'm awake Gustus. Give me ten minutes then I'll be down."
Looking at Costia she orders "You need to leave. I can't let Gustus know you're here or I'll be grounded for like a hundred years."
Costia kisses Lexa "I love you."
Lexa nods "I love you too. Go now."
Lexa sits in class tapping her pen on her desk, This is so boring. I hate biology. A knock on the door causes the class to look up.
The principal walks in "Lexa may I speak to you outside please."
Lexa stands up "If this is about the mascot thing..."
The principal holds up his hand "It's about Costia."
Lexa's eyes widen "What about Costia? Is something wrong with her?"
The principal sighs "She was in an accident this morning. Her car hit a patch of ice and ran off the road."
Lexa leans against the lockers "No. She was with me this morning. You're lying."
Her soccer coach comes up "I'm afraid it's true Lexa. I just got off the phone with her parents. She didn't make it."
Lexa shakes her head "NO. You're lying. She isn't dead. She can't be dead."
The coach wraps her arms around Lexa "It's okay."
The principal suggests "You should get her out of here Indra. Before class ends."
Indra nods leading Lexa away. The girls body starting to shake from her crying.
One Year Later
Clarke is looking out her bedroom window when a knock on her door interrupts her "Your mom says we got to go."
Clarke turns to the voice "She finally gets to get rid of me."
The person sighs "It's not like that Clarke."
Clarke shakes her head "Don't stick up for her Jackson. When dad died things started going down hill. She's been trying to send me to this damn boarding school for three years. Now that there isn't anybody to argue with her she finally did it."
The man shakes his head "Clarke."
Clarke grabs her bag throwing it over her shoulder and grabbing the box at her feet "Save it Jackson. I know mom won't want me back for the holidays so I'll find other arrangements. Bye."
Clarke heads out of the house not even chancing a glance towards her mother.
The woman speaks "Clarke wait. This is like a second chance for you. Please don't be mad at me. I love you so much."
Clarke rolls her eyes "Whatever. I'm glad you are no longer burdened by me. Good bye Abigail."
The woman purses her lips "Clarke."
Clarke sighs "I'm going to be late for the bus. If you want to hear I love you fine I love you too. Can I go now?"
Abby nods softly watching her daughter walk down the steps a tear rolling down her cheek.
At the bus a man reaches for the box in her hand, Clarke pulls away "I got it thanks."
The man steps back allowing Clarke to put her box and bag under the bus. Clarke climbs on the bus finding a seat and closing her eyes. When she opens them she sees a boy beside her.
Clarke spits "Wells what are you doing here?"
The boy smiles "I came for you Clarke. I couldn't let you go alone."
Clarke rolls her eyes "I don't need you to protect me Wells. You should have stayed with your father."
Wells shakes his head "I'm sorry about your father Clarke."
Clarke growls "Don't talk about my father. We were going to get you when the accident happened. It's your fault. I hate you. There's an empty seat over there get away from me."
Wells sighs standing up to move. The bus lurches making Wells fall hitting his head on the arm of the seat in front of him. The bus stops in the next town leaving Wells in the hospital there.
A boy sits beside her "A little hard on him weren't you?"
Clarke glares "Eavesdrop much. Get back to your seat."
The boy shrugs "This is my seat now. I'm Finn."
Clarke spits "I don't care get away from me."
Finn asks "What's the matter princess?"
Clarke sets her jaw "Do not call me princess. Leave me alone."
Finn silently sits beside Clarke until they arrive at the school.
While walking to the school a girl walks up to Clarke "Before you get any ideas Finn is mine."
Clarke looks at her "Before you get any ideas I don't care."
Speed walking away Clarke gets to the front doors met by a dark haired woman "I'm Callie Cartwig you can call me CeCe. I will show you to your dormitories. You will have a roommate because everybody else has been placed you will be bunked with the people you have come with."
Clarke looks at the girl who staked claim on Finn, Please don't place me with her.
CeCe looks to Clarke "Your roommate hasn't arrived yet."
Clarke sighs Thank goodness it's not the claimer.
Finn steps beside her "You excited to be off the bus princess."
Clarke rolls her eyes "Leave me alone Finn. Go find someone that actually wants you around."
Finn hisses "Ouch. Got any recommendations princess."
Clarke spins around eying him "I told you not to call me princess. What is your problem? A little word of advice. Girls like to be listened to. If you can't follow a simple instruction like 'Don't call me princess' you are not going to get a girl. As for my suggestion as to who wants you around the Blake girl seems into you. I'd go for her."
Lexa turns the water on for a shower. Practice was tough she was hoping the hot water would ease her tired muscles.
One of her teammates walks in "I heard Skaikru Academy got some new students. Not sure how many will be on the soccer team."
Lexa sighs "I'm not worried about Skaikru. Our team is far more superior anyway. Even with the possible new recruits we will beat them."
Another teammate walks in "That's why you are the commander."
Lexa shakes her head "It's because I keep all you slackers in line."
Lexa turns off the water wrapping her towel around her and leaving.
Indra walks in just as Lexa is putting on her shirt "Lexa I would like to talk to you."
Lexa sighs "Who died this time?"
Indra shakes her head "No one. This isn't about anybody dying. I just want to talk."
Lexa follows Indra to her office sitting in Indra's chair.
Indra stands in front of Lexa "How are you doing?"
Lexa rolls her eyes "Seriously? That's what you want to talk about. I'm fine."
Indra informs "Skaikru got some new students. There are some soccer players."
Lexa shrugs "I'm not worried. We got a good team."
Indra nods "I agree. Last year was pretty tough for you. I need to know you are going to be present this year."
Lexa leans forward "Don't worry about me. There are some other people you should be focussing on."
Indra folds her arms across her chest "You are their commander Lexa. If you go down so do they."
Lexa stands up "I'll be here Indra. The team comes first."
Lexa is sitting in Tondc, a coffee shop, looking at a girl that looks familiar. The girls phone rings.
The girl answers "This is Clarke. What? When did that happen? Alright I'll be right there."
Lexa watches her gather her stuff watching as a leather book falls off the table. Clarke leaves the book behind. Lexa walks to the table picking up the book.
Flipping through the pages she sees various drawings, These are really good.
A voice greets "Hey Lexa. What's that?"
Lexa looks at the book "Some girl left it behind rushing away. You're late Anya."
Anya frowns "I know. I'm sorry. Tris was having a problem."
Lexa looks concerned "Is she okay?"
Anya nods "Yeah she's fine. She got into a fight at school. Some little jerk called her a name. She defended herself. The school wanted to suspend her, I stopped it."
Lexa nods "Good. Let's eat."
Anya smiles "I'm starving. How is school?"
Lexa shrugs "Not bad. The soccer season is starting soon. Indra thinks I won't be able to focus because of last year."
Anya looks at the table opposite them "Why do you keep looking at an empty table?"
Lexa looks startled "What? I'm not. There's no girl there."
Anya raises an eyebrow "I know there isn't a girl there. Wait. There was a girl there. A girl you like."
Lexa shakes her head "I don't even know Clarke. Before you say anything I heard her say her name when she answered her phone. She left the book."
Anya reaches for the book "Is it like her diary or something?"
Opening the book she flips through it "Wow these are really good. You should ask if Lincoln knows her. He is in an art class."
Lexa smiles "Yeah. Can you ask him for me?"
Anya rolls her eyes "You are such a chicken. Fine I'll ask him. If he does know her should I set up a meeting?"
Lexa's eyes widen as she shakes her head wildly.
Anya nods "Yeah. I'm totally going to set up a meeting."
