Hello everyone! This is my first attempt at a Clarke and Lexa story, I've written a few stories on this site before, but this is the first for this fandom. I've been updating this story on another site and thought I'd post it here as well. Let me know what you all think!

Also I have a YouTube account under the name Amateurhour1987 and I recently posted a Clarke and Lexa video that I made. Would share the link but it doesn't allow you to link to other sites.

Do You Believe In Fate?

Clarke's P.O.V

"Clarke do you believe in fate?"

When I hear her voice echo through the gym I stop running.

"Because we seem destined to be in each others lives"

Acknowledging that we have an interesting history would be an understatement.

"Fuck me!"

The words left my mouth before I could stop them.

"Damn Clarke"

She's grinning.

"I wasn't expecting you to be so upfront, I have..."

When she looks down at her watch I roll my eyes.

"Half an hour, if you want to take a walk down memory lane?"

This is how it's always been.

Her high school hated my high school, her team hated my team and her friends hated my friends.

"Lexa what are you doing here?"

"I accepted Maryland's offer..."

"I can see that"

That's not what I was asking.

"Lexa why are you here talking to me?"

When I sit down to undo my boots, she moves so she's standing in front of me.

"I thought I'd come over and say hi and break the ice"

I've only got a very short amount of time where I can sit here and get away with undoing the laces on my boots. It's a great distraction, but it can only go on for so long.

"Clarke we're going to be teammates now and I was kind of hoping we could move on and forget everything that's happened..."

"Lexa what exactly is it that you want?"

When I finally look up her eyes lock on mine.

"I don't know, I just know that I want this stupid rivalry to end and it would be good if we could move on and focus on our time here..."

"Lexa I respect you as a player and from a basketball point of view it's great that you're here, but I don't respect you as a person"

She seems surprised.

"Because I'd never stoop as low as you did and I can't even be mad about it, because we're not friends and you don't owe me anything, but you crossed a line that should never be crossed..."

"What do you mean?"

She looks confused.

"What line did I cross Clarke?"

"Have you forgotten about that night at Grounders?"

"No..."

"We both left that bathroom on the same page Lexa, well I thought we did, sex doesn't have to mean something, it can just be sex..."

"I know"

"I'm just going to walk away Lexa, because if we keep talking about this it's going to seem like I care and I really don't"

When I try to walk past her she cuts me off.

"How have I crossed any lines Clarke?"

She can't be serious!?

"You said it didn't mean anything to you and it was just sex, but you're annoyed about something and it's confusing..."

"I'm not annoyed Lexa. I'm just not going to stand here and pretend I respect you when I don't..."

"Because we had sex?"

"No because we had sex and you let your team use that against me in the state championship game"

How is she not understanding this?

"Lexa we went to schools that hated each other and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the rivalry, because I did"

It made our games more interesting.

"But I can't stand here and pretend I think you're a half decent person when you let your team use something that happened between us 'privately' as a tactic to get under my skin"

I put a little extra emphasis on the word privately.

"It's just something I would never do and something I can't respect"

This time when I try to step around her she grabs my arm.

"Clarke I never said a word to anyone about what happened that night at Grounders..."

"Lexa do you honestly think I'm going to believe that?"

"I don't care if you don't Clarke"

I've struck a nerve.

"But we're going to be on the same team now and we need to figure out a way to make it work"

"Hey Griffin"

"Hey..."

"Why do you look so flat?"

"O, you won't believe who I just ran into at the gym?"

I'm going to need some time to process this, I wasn't expecting to see her here.

"Do I actually have to guess Clarke?"

"Lexa!"

If I wasn't so irritated I'd laugh at her expression right now.

"She's going to Maryland?"

"Yep"

This has always been my dream. I've always wanted to play basketball for a division one college. Now I'm here, I'm starting to wish I picked another college, one that didn't have Lexa.

"Lexa, from Trikru High?"

"Yep..."

"The Lexa you hooked up with in the bathroom at Grounders?"

I'm glad she's amused.

"The sex was good O, it served it's purpose"

I find her attractive, that doesn't mean I like her or respect her.

"She's a good player Clarke"

She's really good.

"She's just a bitch!"

That's the problem.
