Chapter 2 - Almost
Raven and Octavia made eye contact and started making excuses for Clarke's outburst.
"This food is amazing!"
"Who made this?"
Both brunettes commented and Clarke finally released a breath she didn't even know she was holding. "Thanks" she whispered toward Raven and eyed Octavia silently thanking her as well.
"Don't mention it." Raven shrugged it off.
Clarke was more thankful that she didn't push for an explanation. Because, she honestly has no idea on what to say, they might think she's crazy or something. Oh! It was just that person sitting across from me on the other table, she got me so distracted that I've gone deaf for a few seconds there.
Lexa heard her sister's table all of a sudden grew silent so she looks up to check on them. Everyone on the table seems to be looking at the person at the end of the table right across from her. Then she heard the other two brunettes commenting about the food. Clearly they're good friends with the woman at the end of the table. The woman with the blonde hair since that's the only thing that Lexa was able to get a glimpse at, Lexa smiled towards the table as she heard them compliment the dishes.
Blue eyes widen as soon as she saw those perfect pouty lips smile towards her. Then she noticed those green eyes were not directed at her but beside her. She deflated a little, realizing the brunette with messy bun hair was actually looking at Raven. And both of them seemed to be in a smiling pass the message game which she is clearly not invited to. Great! More reason why I regret coming here.

Lexa's table finished first and her and Lincoln proceeded to the open bar and started ordering drinks to start the night of. Artemis or Art went to the dancefloor and started moving to the music. Soon most of Lexa's relatives started joining him. Both she and Lincoln received their drinks and they walked leisurely to the side where a bench swing was located. Lexa doesn't really do well with crowds, especially new people. While Lincoln does not really have a problem socializing he just does not want Lexa being alone by herself or feeling left out.
"Go, enjoy the party." She whispered to him, because she knows what he's trying to do. "Seriously, I'll be fine" the dark skinned man looked at her then back to the dance floor. He shook his head No "Lincoln, I'm not going anywhere" she chuckled a little at him as she gestured for him to go. He finally gave in and walked back to the dance floor with everyone.
By the time Anya's table started mingling with her relatives, Lexa was already on her second Elyx glass going for her third. Someone bumped on her side while she waited for her third glass at the open bar.
"You okay there buddy?"
The brunette snorted as she pushed Anya back a little harder than she intended "Ooops" she laughed at her sister's shocked face before she answered her question. "Yes, I'm fine."
"Yeah I can see that." The dirty blonde nodded as the bartender gave her sister another glass "How many have you had?" Lexa just kept looking blankly at her while sipping her drink "You haven't met my friends yet." She lets her sister know that she's a bit pissed that the brunette was late earlier. "Come on, time to meet new people." She dragged Lexa by the wrist to her table earlier "Hey guys! This is my sister, Lexa" Anya pointed her thumb at Lexa's direction then she introduced the gang "This is Raven" Lexa remembered that she smiled at her earlier. Anya moved to the side and put her hands on Octavia's shoulders "this is Octavia and Harper" Anya looks at the dance floor towards the men "Those 2 idiots are Monty and Miller" she pointed at them who seem to be having a heated conversation with Art. Anya proceeded to look for the last guy and pointed to a man with curly hair chatting with Lincoln. "ans that's Bellamy, O's brother." She finished then realized something's a miss "Clarke's not here?"
"She went to the ladies room." Raven explained, hoping Clarke will be here soon to finally meet Lexa. She knows her friend has been ogling this Lexa chick since she arrived at the table next to them. Since Raven's pretty sure that the reason why Clarke's in the ladies room at the moment is so she can wipe her drool while looking at Lexa the entire dinner time. "She'll be here in a few" Stall motherfucker stall! Stall for Clarke the savior! Stall for Clarke the chosen one! Raven looks back at the door. A few seconds passed when she saw blonde hair headed their way. When Clarke arrives back the brunette turns back to look at Lexa who is all of a sudden nowhere in sight. As Clarke sat down next to her the brunette couldn't help but burst "Really!? You couldn't pee faster."
