"Lexa!" Costia said as she banged on my window. I groaned as i got up and lifted the window allowing her in. "My dad says that another girl has gone missing!" she said as my eyes widened "Come on" she added as she pulled me towards the window.
"But the lacrosse tryouts are tomorrow" I whined "And we both know that Coach Indra will beat our heads in if we show up tired" I added as Costia rolled her eyes and pulled at my sleeve.
"Oh come on Woods, you always make the team every year.. You'll be fine" she groaned.
I looked at her and saw that she was not going to leave without me. "Fine" I said, rolling my eyes at her as she smirked at me. We carefully climbed out my window and jumped down to the grass before booking it to her old jeep.
"I wish you would get rid of this car" I said as she laughed "Like hell I will" she said before winking at me and driving off down the road.
When we arrived, we could hear the police sirens not to far up ahead. "Let's go" she whispered before jumping out of the car with me on her tail. I felt the cold air inside my jacket, bring goosebumps to my skin, Costia just shrugged as she continued to walk in the woods. "Crazy" I hissed under my breath as I followed behind her.
The forest was pitch black. The only way we could see was with the flashlights on our phones, and the light of the full moon above us. "I think we're almost there" she said when a light came out of no where followed by Costia's dad yelling at us.
"Run" she said as we took off deeper into the woods.
I ran a few feet in front of her, I could still hear her dad yelling behind us so I ducked behind a tree and took off in a different direction.I stopped when everything around me became quiet, I turned expecting to see Costia behind me only to see nothing, I had lost Costia and was now standing alone.
"Great" I mumbled before I heard the sound of twigs snapping behind me, I turned only to see a beast standing a few feet away, its red eyes boring into mine. My body froze as I watched it bare its fangs at me. I slowly took a step back only to have it run at me, before I could even turn to run it sank its teeth into my side. I screamed with pain, trying to pry it off of me. But as soon as the attack happened, it ended. I slowly sat up and looked around in case it came back. I winced as I looked down at the bite, it was deep and was going to be a hell of a scar I thought before getting up and seeing dull light coming my way.
"Well this turned out to be a shitty night" I swore before walking towards Costia's dad and his police force. He looked at me before escorting me back to Costia's car.
"Go home you two" he said as we both nodded and drove off down the road.
I woke up the next morning in my bed, the smell of Lincoln's cooking coming from downstairs. Standing up I made my way over to the full length mirror in my room to check out the bite. I pulled up my shirt only to see the wound was gone.
'Could I have been dreaming?.' I thought, but shook it off and got dressed before heading downstairs.
"Good morning" I said as Lincoln smiled
"How did you sleep?" he asked
"Okay I guess" I answered before looking at the clock. "Shit, I'm gonna be late!" I hissed before running out the door and down the street.
Arkadia, the only high school in Polis, and luckily living close to the school helped me from being late most of the time.
I walked into our math class and sat down next to Costia. "Where did you run off to last night?" she asked
"I thought you were following me, and when I stopped to check I ended up being attacked by some animal" I stated as she wrinkled her nose "Sorry, and are you okay?" her voice filled with concern.
I nodded "Yeah I'm fine".
Coach Indra walked into our classroom and started writing out notes on the board. I took out a pen and paper and started to copy down her notes.
"No mom, I'll be just fine." I heard someone say as I looked up and around the class to see everyone to focused on what the teacher was writing down.
"Yes I have my bag, and my books" the voice came again.
I turned to the window and saw a beautiful blue eyed blonde standing outside on the phone. "I have to go, I'll call you later" she said before hanging up and walking into the school.
'How could I hear that?' I thought when a few seconds later a knock came to our door followed by the same blonde walking in.
"Excuse me, is this grade eleven mathematics?" she asked as Indra nodded "I'm Clarke" she said.
"I've been expecting you, here is your text book and you may sit behind miss Woods" Coach said as I froze to my seat.
Of course the beautiful blonde has to sit behind me. Costia smirked as she watched her walk down the aisle and past us, as I tried to focus on the board again but I could hear her rummaging through her bag behind me.
"How would I forget a pen on the first day" she whispered to herself, I quickly grabbed my extra one and turned to face her.
"You can borrow mine" I said when she looked up at me with her sky blue eyes, a smile played across her lips.
"Thanks" she said as she took it I felt her fingers brush against mine. My heartbeat spiked a bit before she took the pen.
"No problem" I smiled before turning around and copying down the notes.
When class ended I walked through the door and over to my locker, I easily unlocked the lock and opened the door only to have someone walk up. "Excuse me" I heard her voice as I moved my locker door away so that I could see her face.
"Thanks again for the pen, most of the people I know would have just let me sit there" she said
"Well then, their not the greatest people to know then aren't they" I joked and she smirked at me.
"I never really got your full name" she stated as I stuck out my hand "Lexa Woods" I said as she shook my hand and smiled "Clarke Griffin" she answered back before slipping her hand out of mine and walking off down the hall.
