Clarke opened one eye and looked at the clock. 8:15. Shit, shit, shit.

"CLARKE, WAKE THE FUCK UP! I'M GONNA LEAVE YOUR SORRY ASS IF YOU AREN'T DOWN IN 10." Raven shouted from the kitchen.

"Raven! Language!" Another voice yelled from across the house.

"Sorry Mrs G" Raven mumbled.

Clarke shot up from bed and threw on some clothes, then quickly applying some makeup and brushed her teeth. She had to look good today, it was the first day back. She grabbed her pom poms and cheerleader outfit from her closet and shoved it in her bag. Then ran downstairs, hoping to not trip on anything on the way down which would make her later than she already was.

"I'M COMING. I'M COMING. HOLD ON"

Clarke ran into the kitchen to grab a few cereal bars which she knew she would definitely need during the rest of the day and then sped out of the house, slamming the door behind her and rushed into the car.

Raven stared at Clarke for a few seconds in the car before bursting out in laughter. Clarke stared in shock and bewilderment when she realised the time.

"Raven, hurry up, why are you laughing? We're late."

Raven was now wiping the tears from her face from laughing too much when she said,

"Sorry Clarke, but we're actually half an hour early."

"RAVEN!" Clarke practically screeched.

"You slap are slap the most slap infuriating slap person in the world!"

"But you know you love me." Raven wiggled her eyebrows somewhat charmingly.

"Fine, yes I do but still. Ugh"

"See, now you have time to eat your cereal bars in the car." Raven debated whilst Clarke munched on her bars greedily.

Raven started up the car and began their journey to school.

"ANYA, hurry up. Stop doing your makeup. You've been in the bathroom for 20 minutes now. I want to be at my new school on time." Lexa whined from outside the bathroom. Lexa was already dressed since 6am as she wanted to make a good impression on her first day, even though that probably wouldn't matter as she already had the badass, full of trouble reputation.

"Lexa, it's fine. Jaha won't care, he won't even notice if you aren't on the dot there at 8:30."

"Whatever. It's not like I care about school anyways." She looked in the mirror and put on her leather jacket and boots. Lexa sighed, she did care about school but it's not like school ever cared about her.

She knew she was a trouble kid, even from the beginning. Ever since her mum died when she was 8, she would get into fights and she always came back with bruises and scratches at least a few times a month. She was actually a good kid but she just felt misunderstood and it equalled into getting into a lot of fights. She jumped around schools because of that. The only school she had ever felt that she fit into was Trikru High, when she met Costia, but that was over and she needed to move on.

"Lexa, go ahead without me. I might be a while and anyways Lincoln will be there. I'll meet you for lunch." As soon as those words left Anya's mouth, Lexa was out the door with her helmet in her hand and turning on her motorbike with her key. It spluttered to life and within minutes she was gone.

"Bell!" Clarke raced over and jumped into his arms.

"Princess, I missed you." Clarke laughed as Bellamy spun her in his arms. "Octavia couldn't stop whining the whole holiday about how much she missed you guys."

Clarke was starving, she had eaten through those cereal bars like they were nothing. At least now she could finally eat lunch after all those classes. She was happy to see all her friends after the long summer break. Well she was still entertained with Raven there to accompany her all summer long.

Raven and Clarke have been best friends since they were 5 years old ever since Raven pushed Murphy down for teasing Clarke about her art. Ever since then, Clarke and Raven stuck together, even when Raven's mother was abusive and using her for drugs, Clarke was stuck to Raven like glue and especially when Abby had adopted the 10-year-old Raven into the Griffin family, they were sisters. An unbreakable bond.

Raven helped Clarke through the bad times of Finn's breakup and cheating and cleaned Clarke up and made sure she didn't get into any trouble at night when Party Girl Griffin came alive. They were there for each other, always and forever.

Then at the age of eleven, they were complete when they found Octavia and both fell in love with the sweet bubbly girl who lived next door with her funny older brother who they later befriended as Bellamy.

"Guys, find a table and start eating, you must be starving. I'll be back in a sec. I'm getting lunch."

Lexa wasn't very hungry. When she had first walked into Arkadia High, she heard whispers and people talking all around her. She was sick of it. She wanted to shout at them to shut up and mind their own business before Anya came out of nowhere and put her arm around her shoulder, telling her to calm down.

Now at lunch it wasn't very different but at least Anya was giving her the rundown of the place.

"Ok so Lexa listen up, this is important. If you're not going to listen to me at least remember to this. Jaha is a pushover. Kane is strict but fair, just don't get on his bad side. There are a few people in this school which you need to look out for. The jerks who are Murphy and Finn. Don't talk to Jasper very much, he is known for selling drugs and getting high all the time since he's reeling from the death of his girlfriend, Maya. I still don't know how he hasn't been kicked out yet. Then there's Monty, a nice guy, he's our main source of alcohol." Anya looked around before she continued.

"Then there are them." Anya pointed out a table where 3 people were sitting, a guy with messy brown hair and hazel eyes, a girl with light brown hair and blue eyes and a girl with dark brown hair and brown eyes. They were all stunning.

"Don't stare Lexa."

"Who are they?" Lexa questioned.

"The guy is Bellamy Blake. He's the most popular guy in school, known for throwing the best parties in the century. He's the brother of Octavia, the one with blue eyes. He's crazy protective of her so don't start anything. The other girl is Raven, she is crazy clever, probably a genius but I heard that her mother was a druggie and she was adopted into the Griffins family."

"Griffins?" Lexa questioned again. She was quite intrigued by all this new information.

"Oh yes and last not least, Party Girl Griffin. Well Clarke Griffin. She is the most popular girl in school, cheerleader and model student but party girl by night. I think there were rumours about her ex boyfriend, Finn cheating on her and that's when she became Party Girl Griffin. Just try not to get mixed up with them. Too much drama, not that I can imagine it anyways."

"Thanks" Lexa shrugged, trying not to show how interested she really was from all Anya had just told her. Anya then guided Lexa to the lunch queue.

Clarke put down her tray next to the cutlery section, her tray contained a hamburger and fries and Clarke couldn't stop grinning over the smell of the food about to satiate her hunger. She then proceeded to walk over to her friends who were waving to her when she was suddenly hit on her left side and fell to the floor with someone on top of her. Even with the difficulty of breathing since the person who had knocked her to the ground was squashing her lungs, she couldn't help to lock eyes with her perpetrator. Clarke couldn't help think that she was gorgeous, luscious lips, silky waves of brown locks and sparkling green eyes. But she couldn't think about that right now when her food was obviously ruined and on the floor.

In what seemed like seconds, the girl scrambled off her. Clarke got up from the floor groaning and realised that the cafeteria was completely silent waiting to see what was about to break out. Then Clarke remembered that she was mad. "WHAT THE FUCK."

"Shit, Shit. Sorry. I didn't see you." Lexa replied casually, trying not to seem like she was mesmerised by this girl's beauty and that she may or may not have stumbled into her because she was focusing on her too much. But inside, Lexa was panicking and she felt like her brain was having a shit storm.

"Princess what happened?"

Clarke just stared at the girl who knocked her over.

Octavia then lost her cool and went over to Lexa and shoved her, "Why the fuck did you push Clarke down!"

Oh so this girl has a name Lexa thought to herself. Clarke. Clarke. Clarke. Oh shit, Clarke Griffin. No wonder the whole cafeteria was silent. Lexa wanted to slap herself, how had she in the first day of school managed to stir all this up. Just wait until Anya kills her.

Lexa then glared at this girl called Octavia. "She should have been looking." Lexa heard some oohhhhs from the growing crowd but ignored it.

"Octavia, stop, it's fine. I'll just eat my cereal bars." Clarke said, trying not to cause anymore problems. She was pissed at this girl but didn't want any trouble.

"Clarke, you already ate all your cereal bars." Raven piped in.

"I know, it's alright, just let it go." Clarke sighed and walked away, pissed at herself that she only brought just enough money for lunch today. Bellamy caught up to her, "Princess, you alright. Did she hurt you? If I hadn't finished my food, I would have given you mine."

Clarke was in awe of how sweet Bellamy was to her. "Thanks Bell, but I'm fine, I only fell. I'm going to be on the bleachers if you need me."

Lexa looked at Clarke walking away, being comforted by Bellamy Blake. Then she saw Octavia giving her daggers and glares from across the room. Lexa felt bad, especially that because of her, Clarke Griffin wouldn't eat lunch that day. Shit shit shit. Lexa knew she had to do something. Fuck the badass façade. She didn't care at this moment.

She then looked at her food on the floor and had an idea. There was still an hour left of lunch so she still had time.

Clarke sat on the bleachers, drawing when she smelt the waft of food. She was still starving and even more regretting taking more money out that day. Then what surprised Clarke was the sound of someone clearing their throat next to her.

Clarke looked up and saw the girl that had knocked her down with a tray of food. With two hamburgers and some fries.

"Hi, I'm Lexa Woods. Nice to meet you." The girl outstretched her hand and Clarke took it, shaking her hand.

"Clarke Griffin."

Lexa looked sheepishly at the ground. "Look, I'm really sorry about before. I-err got you lunch it that helps. I have 2 hamburgers to make up for the one on the floor."

Lexa kept looking down, expecting Clarke to reject her when Clarke patted the space next to her and Lexa sat down.

"Thanks, I really appreciate it. I probably won't be able to eat the second hamburger so do you want to sit here with me and share it?"

Clarke was offering the olive branch and Lexa gladly took it.

"Okay." Lexa scooted closer to Clarke since the tray sat on both of their legs. Lexa's heart was racing. She thought the blonde was beautiful, with shining blue eyes, so kind and welcoming.

Clarke decided to speak up, "I haven't really seen you before. Are you new?"

"Uhh, yes I am. I recently just…transferred from Trikru High."

"Cool, umm what do you do usually?"

To say Lexa was nervous was an understatement. "Recently I have been practising to become a cop or a lawyer. I'm not really sure yet."

Hmm, interesting. Something must have happened to have those two goals in mind or she is just really righteous. Clarke thought to herself.

"Why those two, surely they are quite different?"

"Well Clarke," Lexa said popping the 'k', "that is quite open to interpretation. You might say that a cop is different because they are out in the streets and doing physical work whereas the lawyer is sitting down safely in court and verbally working to keep people safe. But in fact they are both working towards the same goal but both have different approaches to it and they both work well as justice cannot be served just with one and not the other."

Clarke felt like Lexa had just opened her eyes to a new perspective.

"I have never thought about it that way, I thought that they were both completely different jobs. Thank you for showing me that. I like to draw and I love all things art but I would like to be a doctor so I can save and change people's lives."

Clarke wondered why she was telling Lexa, a stranger so much and vice versa but in her presence she felt comfortable and at ease with sharing her thoughts.

Clarke took her books and walked to the car where Raven was waiting for her.

"You know that girl that knocked you over, she's Lexa Woods. She scary badass, and was kicked out of her old school for vandalising or setting it on fire I heard. She even rides a motorbike and everything!"

"Raven, don't worry. I met Lexa. And besides, everyone rides a motorbike nowadays, like at least 5 people at school are. You are just over exaggerating and I think she seems nice."

"That's what they all say."

"What are you talking about Raven."

"All the victims, that's what they all say."

"Raven, you watch way too many horror and detective films."

"ALEXANDRIA WOODS. Get here right now!"

Lexa groaned and stalked downstairs to where Anya was waiting for her with her arms crossed. "U know you are only a year older than me, you don't have to fill in for mum."

Ever since their mum died, when they were eight, Anya had always felt the need to scold Lexa when she's done something wrong.

"What is it now?" Lexa sighed.

"What is this I hear about you pushing Clarke Griffin over and then punching her."

"Whoa, what! People have obviously spread this around wrongly."

"Yeah, that better be."

"I only bumped into Clarke accidently at lunch and her lunch may have gone everywhere but I didn't punch her! I-err made up for it when I brought her another lunch later and we talked."

"Hmm. At least you aren't on the bad side of Clarke Griffin & co." Then Anya proceeded to make herself a sandwhich.

A week had passed since Clarke and Lexa shared lunch on the bleachers and Clarke couldn't keep her mind off of Lexa Woods. "Lexa this, Lexa that, oh Lexa's so amazing, she wants to be a cop, oh and she wants to be a lawyer." Raven complained. "Shut up Raven."

"Now you see, why are you talking about Lexa when you can have the real prize of Anya. Oh now that is some fine booty, those long legs." Raven munched on her crisps.

"Raven, you do know that Anya is in the year above us and she has never glanced your way before. But Bellamy can probably introduce you guys since Lincoln, is her cousin. "Without warning, Raven grabbed Clarke's phone and sprinted off to the bedroom and where she made countless calls to Bellamy begging to introduce them somehow. After many relentless days, Bellamy finally gave in.

Anya was carrying her books to her next class when suddenly Bellamy approached her along side with Lincoln and Raven. "Hey Anya..." Lincoln said suspiciously. "This is Bellamy as you might know and this is Raven."

Raven stuck out her hand for Anya to shake, which was a bit strange but Anya accepted nonetheless. As soon as her hand touched Raven, she felt herself being pulled in towards her and Raven whispered huskily in her ear, "Hey, the word of the night is legs. How about later you come over and I can help you spread the word?"

Anya was surprised at this sudden revelation and slightly turned on to say the least. "Raven, you are just going to have to try harder than that to score this." Anya gestured to herself and walked away.

As Anya walked away, Raven licked her lips as the sight, "oh I will, get ready." She muttered to herself.

That next day Raven kept 'bumping' into Anya and whispering lines into her ears. "Oh Anya, you do know your ass looks lonely without my hands on it." Anya chuckled at her creative extent and walked away. "I hope you have pet insurance because I'm going to destroy your pussy." Anya had to suck her breath in that comment as she tried to conceal how much she was actually getting aroused by Raven's words.

The last one that really set Anya off was when Anya was about to open her car door and Raven slammed it shut and grabbed her waist. The action made Anya's breath hitch and Raven sure noticed it. "Are you sure your name isn't Katniss because you are starting an uprising in my district." Anya couldn't take it anymore, she looked at Raven's kissable lips and just went for it. She latched on hungrily and moaned as their kiss deepened. She pinned Raven to the car door and was lucky that it was the end of school and no one was in the car park.

When they reached up for air, Raven giggled and Anya couldn't keep a straight face, as Raven's lips were swollen and her laugh was infectious that in no time both were laughing and giggling for no apparent reason.

Clarke walked out to the patio to continue her drawing when she saw Raven hop out of Anya's car and give her a goodbye kiss. Clarke just stared, mouth wide open.

"Hey princess, don't let those flies get in your mouth." Clarke snapped her mouth shut but then proceeded to ask Raven tons of questions.

"What…? How…? You're so lucky… I hate you."

Raven just chuckled, "Princess, if you really want something, you just have to go and take it. You can't afford to wait, especially that they will be snatched up by someone else soon enough."

"Wise words Raven, why don't I listen to you more often?"
