(BUZZ, BUZZ) The vibration of the phone from her pocket startled her. She pulled it out and saw a text from Raven.
Ray Ray:
Clarke! When are you going to get here! The party is getting crazy!
Clarke:
I'm tired and had a long day. I think I might skip this one.
Ray Ray:
No! You have to come. Don't make me come drag you out here! Maybe after the day you had ,a party is exactly what you need? PLEEASSEEEE!
Clarke:
Your pleading is taken into consideration...
Ray Ray:
YUSSSS!
As she walked up to the house she could see people walking in front of the window, while others stumbled out of the door laughing and spilling their drinks. She pushed her way past them and made her way in. The music was loud and everyone was dancing. Looking around the crowd to find Raven she hears someone yell her name.
"CLARKE!" Raven screamed as she ran over to her friend. She gave Clarke a hug and started laughing. "I'm glad you finally decided to grace us with your presence."
"Funny! Ha ha." She said sarcastically. "Where is Octavia?" She asked scanning around. Raven pointed to the girl upside down on the keg. She had a black shirt on with a blue stipe down the side and skinney jeans. "Of course that's her" Clarke said laughing. Raven led the way over to the girl who had just been upside down.
"Clarke! You made it!" Octavia exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air. "You look great! Love the plaid." she said, pointing to the plaid shirt tied around Clarkes waist. She had on a grey cut-off, her blue skinney jeans and converse.
"Thanks. So, now that I'm here... lets get this party started!" All three girls laughed. They got Clarke a drink and started making their way to the center of the room. There must have been 70 people there. After about five minutes they met up with some other people.
Bellamy was in Clarke's Econ class. They had become really good friends over the last couple years. They met during first semester English. Bellamy's major was Business and Clarke had been undecided as to what she wanted to do for the rest of her life (she still is). After the semester ended they remained in contact and made it mandatory during the summer that they hang out. Both of them stayed at school for the summer because they had jobs close to campus and had summer sports to attend. Bellamy went to Clarkes basketball games and she went to his baseball games. Everyone had said they would make the cutest couple. Many thought they were together, for how often they were together. They always thought of each other as brother and sister. Besides, Bellamy wasn't ecaxtly Clarkes type.
Bellamy saw Raven, Octavia, and Clarke walking up to the group he was with. He raised his hand, waved and smiled. He was talking with some of his friend from the baseball team. As the girls approached, laughing at all the stupid people stumbling, Bellamy gave them a hug. The rest of the guys followed suit. Everyone knew everyone for the most part.
"Clarke, this is Aden. He transferred in from State and is our new Right Fielder." Bellamy pointed to the scrawny kid. He had blonde hair, similar to hers, and wore a Jack's Mannequin shirt. Clarke reached out to shake his had with a smile.
"Nice to meet you. I liked The Mixed Tape" she motioned towards his shirt.
"Yea, it was a really good album." his smile went from ear to ear. Aden was being pulled to dance with someone. He waved "Nice to meet you Clarke!" and off he went.
The girls started talking amongst them selves when someone caught Clarkes eye. A girl with long brown hair, blue V-neck, and the most beautiful green eyes. This mystery girl walked up to Bellamy and gave him a hug. Raven and Octavia noticed that Clarke wasn't listening and looked to see what had caught her attention. After figuring out who it was she was staring at they both turned back around and giggled. Raven nudged Clarke.
"What?" she said, snapping out of the trance.
"Stop drooling! Your going to get her attention, not in a good away" Octavia laughed, amused with her own comment.
"I wasn't drooling. Who is that?"
"I'm not sure. I think she might be in one of my classes." Raven said, looking at the girl.
"Well, there's only one way to find out. Why not just go introduce your self?" Octavia shook Clarkes shoulders. Clarke brushed it off. Clearly she wasn't going to go ask. So, in true Raven fashion, Raven yelled to Bellamy.
"Hey Bell, who is your new friend?" Clarke pushed Raven. Mumbling under her breathe and blushing slightly.
"Oh, yea! Sorry, where are my manners? Ladies this is Lexa, she and I have a few classes this semester. I invited her! Lexa, this is Raven, Octavia, and Clarke." Bellamy pointed to the girls. Making her way though the circle of introductions, she came to Clarke.
"Nice to meet you." Lexa smiled as she shook Clarkes hand.
"You too!" That was all Clarke could manage mutter out. She was lost for words. She couldn't speak or even think. Everything went quiet. Standing in front of her was this girl, this gorgeous, tall, green eyed girl. Letting go of Lexa's hand she smiled and just stood there. Lexa turned to look at one of the other guys introducing himself to her. She smiled making small talk and Clarke was still in awe. All of a sudden she felt someone grab her hand. She snapped back to reality. Looking to her left at the DJ and then smiling looking to Octavia. She knew what was about to happen.
"Ooooo! Come one girls, its time to dance!" Octavia said pulling Clarke and Raven to the side of the group so there was room to move. They had their hands in the air dancing in circles, bending down low, then coming back up. Laughing and smiling. When the chorus came on everyone started jumping and singing along;
Welcome to my house
Baby, take control now
We can't even slow down
We don't have to go.. ..oo out
Clarke paused briefly to take a drink and then continued dancing. Shaking her head side to side. Putting her drink in the air, bending one arm behind the other, skipping her feet on the floor to the beat. Lexa, just stared. It was all she could do. Bellamy grabbed her shoulder. He leaned in next to her ear,
"Why don't you go dance with them?"
"Umm, I don't know. They seem like there having fun." Just them Lexa caught Clarkes eyes. They just stared at eachother for a moment. Clarke continued to dance while she kept her eyes locked on Lexa. They both smiled and then Lexa felt someone take her arm. She looked to see Bellamy gliding to the girls with her in tow. She want numb. She wasn't expecting that. When they got to the group, Raven smiled.
"Whooo! That's what I'm talking about!" She laughed. Bellamy went over by Clarke. he put his arms around her neck and leaned close to her ear.
"I totally saw that."
"Saw what?" Clarke asked, not knowing what he was talking about.
"You drooling at Lexa!" he leaned back with a wink.
"No, no I wasn't!"
"You can't lie to me, you suck at lying. Besides she was staring back." Leaning back Clarke let out a little giggle, still dancing, not loosing a beat.
"Go dance with her, or by her, or whatever. make her break out of her shell.' After that Clarke turned around and went to Raven and nodded towards Lexa. The two went to her side and started dancing by her. Lexa blinked and kept dancing. She looked over to Bellamy, who had a smile plasted on his face. He made his was over into the close circle of girls, still dancing. Lexa shook her head and threw her hands up in the air. She spun around, nto caring who was watching, having a great time.
After a few more songs they all took a break. Walking over to the keg to get a refill. Raven and Octavia walked ahead, while Bellamy went back over with his baseball buddies. This left Clarke and Lexa to walk together. Not knowing what to say Clarke decided to speak first.
"Sooo, ummm, you having fun?"
"Yea, its nice to get out after a week of class. What about you?" Lexa asked, motioning to Clarke, accidentally bumping her arm into Clarke's stomach. "Oh, sorry!" she studdered.
"It's ok, and yes I am having fun. I wasn't going to come at first but Raven can be very convincing." Laughing Clarke looked down and then towards the keg. "Want a drink?"
"Sure." Lexa handed Clarke her cup to fill. "How long have you know Bellamy?"
"Couple years now. We had a class together first semester and started hanging out. It was all down hill from there." Clark smirked towards Lexa. "And you?"
"Just this semester actually! He is in a couple classes of mine. He is my lab partner in Biology."
"He is a great study buddy!" Clarke sipped her drink.
"How long have you been dating?" Lexa's tone had changed a bit.
"How long has who been dating?" Confused, Clarke finally caught on. "Bellamy...and me?!" pointing between her and Bellamy.
"Yea, you an Bell!"
"No, no, no. We aren't dating." Clarke waved her hand. "Not even close." Laughing at the accusation. Lexa smiled at the mention that she wasn't with Bell. Lexa took a drink of her beer, looking over Clarkes shoulder, she points, making Clarke turn around. Raven and Octavia are clearing a space where everyone was dancing. Clarke put her cup to her head, shaking it with a grin. She heard the song that came through the speakers. "Well, your about to see me and my friend embarrass our selves. On that note, could you hold my drink?" handing Lexa the cup.
"This ought to be good!" Lexa turned to see Clarke shake her head and skip towards the dance floor towards her friend. Now the girls were high fiving, jumping around and they when the words started;
Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I' worth it
Uh, Hu I'm worth it
Give me, give me, I'm worth it
Give it to me I'm worth it
The girls jumped and broke out into this hip hop routine. Moving in unison, hitting every angle hard. The entire party cheered and crowded around them. Lexa moved up front to see them and the next thing you know...Lexa jumps in and starts dancing with them. Putting her hands up and bringing them down hitting the air and popping her body as if something pushed her back. The other three kept going and stared at her. After they were done, the rest of the house started filling in and dancing. People were giving the girls high fives and slapping their back. Lexa was laughing with someone when she was spun around.
"I'm all for breaking out of your shell, but damn! How did you know that choreography?" Raven looked Lexa up and down.
"You got it from Matt Steffanina, right? His videos on youtube?"
"Uhhh, how did you know?!" Octavia questioned.
"I learned it the same way. You girls rocked it. Bad ass!" Lexa playfully punching Raven in the arm. Octavia pulled Lexa in for a hug and the same to Clarke.
"Oh, I may have lost your drink." Lexa shrugged.
"That's ok, I need some air anyways."
"Care if I join?"
"Not at all." Clarke gestured for Lexa to lead the way. It was so much cooler outside, Clarke looked around and saw Aden with his hand holding a girl up agaginst the side of the house. He was making out with her. Clarke let out a light laugh and looked at Lexa.
"Boys will be boys." Lexa looked and smirked.
"I guess some things never change. People always hook up at parties." She walked forward past a small shed, away from everyone. You could still hear the music rumbling in the house. " Can I ask you something? Really odd, out of the ordinary and something that's completely none of my business?" Clarke was looking up at the sky.
"I guess. I might not give you and answer, but you can ask." Clarke looked at the girl and the back at the sky.
"Why aren't you and Bellamy dating? I mean, you guys are odiously close, and everyone on the baseball team seems to think you guys have a spark, or something. Just my curiosity getting the best of me." Lexa stared at Clarke, who's head snapped to meet her gaze.
"Well for starters, he is like my brother. Two, he isn't really my type." the side of Clarkes mouth curled up.
"Not you type? You guys are exactly the same. How is he not your type?" Lexa's hand were waving in confusion.
"He didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"Lexa, Bellamy and I play for the same team!" laughing at the look on Lexa's face. "Ok... Lexa?" Clarke put her hands on Lexa's shoulders, "Hate to break it to you but I haven't been staring at you all night because I like your shoes." A sarcastic grin appeared on Clarkes face.
"Oh, now I see. My of been one to many beers. So, now that we are on the same page. I guess we all play for that team." Lexa laughed and look up.
"Lets go back in." Clarke led the way back to the house. Music was still blaring and all their friends were dancing together. Clarke looked at Lexa, who looked back at her. They both smiled and went to the floor dancing with everyone. Clarke turned around, with her hands in the air, to face Lexa. She brought her arms down to meet Lexa's hands. Pulling her close to her, feet slowly walking in a backwards motion. Lexa follows her lead. Clarke moves her hands to Lexa's waist and giggles. Without noticing, the girls were as close as they could get. Still moving together they danced like that the entire song.
A drink was in order according to Raven. Everyone followed her over to refill.
"I think I am going to split." Clarke said looking at the watch on her wrist. It had a brown leather band.
"Why? Its Friday!" Raven and Octavia said.
"I had a long day and as much fun as this was..." looking at Lexa, " I am tired. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Clarke hugged everyone goodbye and made her way to the door. Almost to the end of the sidewalk she stopped, looked up at the sky and smiled. Letting out a breather she spoke aloud "This is going to be an interesting semester!" She went to her car and drove home with the windows down, her blonde hair blowing in the wind and stereo blaring. She had not had that much fun in a long time and wondered when or if she would see Lexa again. "Only time will tell" she thought to herself.
