"New girl?" Clarke questioned, her eyes on the brunette on the field she's never seen before.
"Yeah, just transferred here last week. Heard she made her family move a month early so she'd be here for try outs," Raven answers, grunting as she lifts her bag out of the trunk.
"Was that a grunt Reyes?" Octavia questions, walking up to them with their bag in tow.
"Oh eat dirt Blake," she scoffs, slamming the trunk down.
"I'm sure you will Reyes. Always do," O chuckles.
Clarke laughs at her friends bickering, leading the way to their field.
"Griffin? You playin this year?" Zoe yells to the blonde from her spot in left field.
"You know her hip's bad Monroe, don't encourage her to kill herself," Octavia yells, finding their way into the dugout.
"Never stopped her before" Harper laughs, running into the dugout from second.
"True," Clarke laughs, walking onto the field to warm up with Raven.
"You really shouldn't even be warming me up," Raven says, crouching down as Clarke throws a pitch.
"I can't play for the school, doesn't mean I can't warm up," blue eyes rolls.
"Whatever you say Griff. New girl, coming fast," she warns, the new girl running towards them.
"Play nice," Clarke orders, turning to the brunette with a smile.
"Hey newbie," Raven greets with a smirk.
"Raven!" Clarke scolds, throwing the ball lightly at her hip before turning to the girl, "I'm sorry about her. I'm Clarke Griffin and that's Raven Reyes, our all star catcher."
Green eyes take in the blonde, then the brunette with a new bruise on her hip, not noticing blue eyes traveling her body.
"I'm Lexa Woods, best pitcher from my league. I was wondering if Raven wanted to warm up with me," the girl questions.
"Hold up, best pitcher you think?" Octavia questions, coming from the bench.
Lexa doesn't waver, "I was the best in my league. It is a fact, not what I think."
Raven and O scoff at her confidence, but Clarke clears her throat to shut them up.
"I think that it's a wonderful thing that you came here when you did then. We just lost our pitcher and to be completely honest, she was the best. We'll see what you're made of," Clarke smiles, adding in a tiny wink as she jogs off the field, as their coach just pulled up.
Lexa stands there, watching the blonde talk to the coach, wondering what she means.
"Come on Woods, let's get to practicin'" Raven says, tapping the brunettes ass with her glove as she runs to her spot behind home.
Lexa blinks, running to the pitcher's mound and getting ready.
"So?" Clarke questions as Raven gets into her car.
"So I think you're an asshole for going home while I had to try out," Raven groans, tilting the seat back and closing her eyes.
"I'm sorry I can't play anymore, totally my choice. I didn't go home, I was watching the freshmen," Clarke rolls her eyes, pulling onto the road.
"I don't care. Can we get ice cream?" Raven questions.
"Don't we always?" she laughs, all ready on route to the eight street sweet spot.
"That Woods girl is good Griff. Not as good as you, but good."
"That's good. We only want the best right? Anybody else really good?"
"Nobody we didn't know about. That Fish girl?"
"Rhiannon?"
"Yeah, she's kickin ass at first now, but we knew she would. Other than her and Woods, it's pretty much what we knew we'd have."
"Did you get any new numbers?"
"Why, you wanna bang new girl or somethin'?" Raven smirks.
"What?! No! Just for that, no ice cream for you," Clarke says, pulling into the drive through anyways.
"Whatever," Raven pouts, ignoring Clarke as she orders.
"Here asshole," the blonde says, handing Raven a shake.
"Here you go beautiful," Raven smiles, handing Clarke a slip of paper with Lexa's number on it.
"I don't need it," she says, getting back on the road, this time headed to Raven's house.
"We have more tryouts tomorrow. Will you pick me up?"
"I'll pick you up, and I'll be there the whole time. Coach gives the babies a day in between their tryouts to give them time to give up."
"I'm going to love hearing all about them, aren't I?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure they will be talking about me all the time."
"So can I leave my shit in here?" Raven questions as they pull into her driveway.
"Sure thing. I'll see you in the morning."
"Love you Griff."
"Love you Raven."
