Hello there. :)

I am happy that you found my fanfiction about Clarke and Lexa (Clexa) in an AU with some new perspectives and possibilities.
Just a little information before: English is not (!) my first language, so be prepared for some grammatical or spelling mistakes.
I am trying my best to avoid them.

I will change the point of view very often, just to make sure that every side of the story is examined.
Sentences in italics mark the thoughts of the respective person.

I would be very happy about some reviews. :)

Enjoy reading the story and may we meet again!

Clarke POV

The first day here. Today she will be going to the new school for the first time and Clarke was more nervous than she was ever before in her entire life. While standing in front of the mirror in her room she already heard her mum driving away with the car. Probably to the hospital where she worked as one of the general surgeons.
Relax, Griffin, this is just like the other 100 times you went to a new school. Everything will be fine and if not… it won't be for too long. Her mum never stayed long at one city since Clarke's father died and Clarke – of course – always moved with her.
Just another school like all the schools before. Some people who are nice, some people who are the opposite of nice, but after all this time moving from city to city and through different states of America or continents of the world Clarke was not even interested in finding friends at all. It never last long enough to even build something like a friendship to somebody.
After putting on her clothes – clothes that always helped her not sticking out – she went downstairs, took her bag and left the house. The weather was mild, cloudy but not too cold although there was a constant spring-breeze that made her blonde hair gently move from side to side. Clarke sighed and crossed the street that was full of cars on their way to school or work or somewhere else. The wind of change…what an ironic thought. Unlike most of the others Clarke preferred to just walk to school instead of driving by car, most of all because she lived near downtown and second of all she needed the fresh air today to calm down before entering the school for the first time.

"You must be Clarke Griffin, our new student from Sydney. Welcome to Arcadia Mills Highschool. My name is Irina Chester, nice to meet you." The secretary of the school, who seemed to be around 50 years old, smiled in a friendly way and handed over some papers, which included Clarke's new timetable, a small map and some information about the school. Clarke smiled back and nodded. "Nice to meet you, too, thank you", she answered politely.
"I asked one of the students of your class to help you out the first few days, just to make sure that you will find the right classes and all the other things. She should have been here 5 minutes ago but… well", Mrs. Chester shrugged as if it was no surprise that this girl was late, "I suggest you just go and wait for her outside, I need to finish some paperwork here." With these words she went back to her desk and Clarke left the small secretary. Still nervous she looked down the hallway of the school, totally aware of the curious faces that turned to her while she stood there and waited for her personal guide. "Clarke?" A pretty girl with a long and smooth dark-brown ponytail walked through the hallway towards Clarke and had a friendly but also curious smile on her lips. When she saw that Clarke turned around, she seemed to feel a bit more self-confident about the situation, while Clarke still was a bit unsure what to do. "Hi. I am Raven Reyes and I have the feeling that I am your personal guide through the mystical halls of Arcadia Mills Highschool." The girls smile widened to a grin that was kind of contagious. Raven. Clarke could swear to herself that she heard that name before but she was not able to remember from where. Probably just a common name like her own name. "Hey Raven. I think that is the best idea ever, because…" Clarke pointed on the map the secretary gave to her, "my sense of orientation is the worst. Worse than the one of a toast, if you ask my mum." Raven laughed and Clarke could not help but laugh herself. "Alright then, Clarke, follow me. Mrs. Chester told me that our timetables are nearly the same so… our first lesson is physics, yay."
Raven guided Clarke to the part of the school that included all the rooms for the subjects about natural sciences. "Here we go", Raven said and went into the room without hesitating.

Most of the other students seemed to be already there – thanks to Raven being a bit late today – and the teacher immediately (and unfortunately) recognized Clarke as the new student.
"Ahhh, hold on, you must be our new student from far away Australia. Welcome welcome. My name is Mr. Sinclair and I hope you have a good time here." With a small but this time more shy smile, Clarke thanked him, handed over one of the papers she got from the secretary and sat down next to Raven, who saved her a place in the second row. "Don't worry, Clarke, Mr. Sinclair is really nice", she whispered, while Clarke let her gaze slowly wander around to look at the other students. So far so good. Until now everything seemed to start a bit better than before in Sydney but you should never count your chickens before they are hatched. At least that is what her mother always told her.

"Clarke, over here, heeey!" Raven's hand waved enthusiastically through the air when Clarke entered the small cafeteria of Arcadia Mills Highschool and searched for a place to sit down. With a relieved feeling she went over to the table where Raven sat with some other students Clarke did not know. "Hey, Raven, you did not promise too much, she is indeed cute", the boy who sat next to Raven commented and immediately got gently slapped by another girl sitting on the other side of him. "Don't you dare, Bellamy Blake", the girl mumbled but her eyes sparkled of joy. "Ohhh, careful Bellamy, she used your full name", a dark-blonde girl on the other side of the table said with a grin on her face. Clarke could not help but chuckle a bit while she sat down at the table and Raven and some of the others joined her, although Raven's eyes showed a sign of provocation. "You guys are outrageous and you are going to make Clarke run away if you go on like that", she complained and sighed theatrical. "Well Clarke, these idiots here", she made a gesture with her hand that included everyone at the table, "are what I call my friends. Over there, my wonderful friend Octavia Blake and her charming brother Bellamy" – Octavia rolled her bright eyes when she heard Raven's description about Bellamy and Bellamy grinned even more – "then Lincoln Woods, who is Octavia's boyfriend" – he seemed really nice and smiled in a friendly way at Clarke – "Harper McIntyre" – the dark-blonde and tough looking girl who now raised her hand as a greeting-symbol – "and the others are currently not here but I bet you will meet them sooner or later, this school is smaller than it seems." Everyone at the table had an own special way of showing Clarke that she was welcome here and because of that she could not help but feel really good. The only thing that was really weird was the fact that they seemed familiar, although Clarke did not know why. They probably just were friendlier than all the other people Clarke met earlier in her life and on different high schools. It was not like Clarke was an outsider all the time but because of her short time on every school she never had the opportunity to get to know the others and build stronger friendships that last. Not even speaking of a real relationship.
But with these people it was different. Although Clarke did not know them at all, she had the weird feeling that she somehow did know them. That she somehow was connected to them. …

Clarke's first week in school was unexciting and pretty normal. When she was not in a class with Raven there was always somebody else of the group of friends she was now part of and it felt really good to finally have some fun at high school and friends she could talk to and count on.
