Clarke POV
"Honey, just go. She'll be fine with me."
"But-"
"No, Clarke. You can't miss the first day. I know it's hard leaving her, but I will call you if anything happens." My mom was practically shoving me out of Elise's room where she was fast asleep in her bed.
My 7 year old sister, Charlotte was sitting at the counter, Frozen themed back pack on, waiting for my dad to come get her for school. Why my mom brought her with, I wasn't really sure.
15 minutes later I was standing in the courtyard at the college. Trying to figure out where I was supposed to go for algebra.
And that was when I saw her. I watched as her wavy, brown hair blew in the wind and the confused look on her face as she stared down at what I assumed was her schedule.
I was getting this weird feeling in my stomach just looking at her from the side and it was a feeling I hadn't felt since I first met Bellamy. God, I really need to stop staring.
I really wished Octavia and Raven were here so I didn't look like such a loner, but Raven was just now getting Octavia out of the door because she woke up late.
This college wasn't exactly huge, but I had no idea where I was going and the map on my phone wasn't helping much, seeing as I didn't know what direction I was facing to begin with.
I looked up to see this stranger looking at me, she snapped out of her face when she noticed I'd seen her staring, "I'm lost."
I smiled, "Same."
"At least I'm not the only one."
Damn she had some pretty eyes.
"Well, I have algebra and I have no idea where that is." I said, checking the map on my phone again.
"So do I." She was now trying to figure something out on her phone, "Am I blind or is this map just pointless?"
"I was thinking the same thing. I guess we could do what I did on my first day of high school and just wander until we find it?"
"That's more of a plan than I had." She smiled at me again as we began walking.
Her smile was honestly the cutest thing Id ever seen. Her eyes were the prettiest eyes id ever seen and- God, I need to focus on class and not on her perfection. I can't flunk out of college because of one girl.
Octavia: Who's the hottie? ?
Me: None of your business. And where are you? Creep.
I nearly ran into the back of- I just realized I didn't actually know her name- her as she stopped abruptly, pointing to the room number and teacher name.
"I found it."
Octavia: I walked up as you two were walking away. Who is she?
Me: Why do you always have to assume I'm into everyone I meet?
Octavia: I saw you staring, stupid.
Father❤️: You, me, lunch.
Me: I'll text you at my lunch time. Normal place?
Father❤️: of course.
Me: Can you bring Elise?
Father❤️: If your mother will hand her over.
I put my phone back in my pocket and followed mystery girl in and to the back row of seats.
"I'm Lexa, by the way." She said as we took our seats.
"Clarke."
The rest of the morning was pretty boring. I had no more classes with her and I had all of the most boring classes to sit through.
I was now on my way down the street to Cafe Leo, my dad and I's normal lunch spot. As I was about to walk in, my leg was attacked in a death grip.
"Hi, mommy." I looked down to see Elise smiling up at me.
"Hi, baby. Where's grandpa?"
"I'm right here. She kinda got really excited when she saw you." My dad said as he walked out of the cafe. "She's a little hyped up after sleeping for 2 hours."
"What? She never naps that long for me."
My dad put his hands up in surrender, "Don't look at me, I just picked her up."
"I swear mom has some secret that she's not telling me."
"I don't know, but I'm too hungry to figure it out right now."
"Elise, what do you want?" I asked watching as she bounced all over the place next to me at the booth.
"Macaroni!" She squealed, throwing down a crayon.
"I don't know why I ask. She always wants macaroni."
"She's just like you."
After lunch, Elise threw a fit as my dad had to pull her from me so I could go back to class.
"You never told me who the hottie was." Octavia said, grabbing onto my arm as I made my way onto campus.
"Her name's Lexa."
"You so like her."
I raised my eyebrow at her, "I just met her."
"You're face is red." Octavia pointed out, giggling.
"Why do you think this is so funny?"
"You haven't been on a date in almost three years."
"That's what happens when you have a baby with someone and break up. Besides, I don't have time to date when I have a psycho two year old."
"You just don't think anyone would date you because you have a kid."
"Exactly."
"Oh, come on." Octavia groaned. "If you don't talk to her, I will."
"Stay out of my business, O." I said, "And I have my first class with her, so I have plenty of time."
