It was Lexa's first practice. She walked in and was greeted by a brunette around the same height as her. She new her as Octavia from what Anya had said about her. She was Clarke's best friend and probably one of the most bubbly people Lexa had ever met. She seemed to be the complete opposite of Clarke, but maybe opposites did attract in a way.
"Why don't you play?" Lexa asked.
Octavia laughed, "I tried in 8th grade but kicked the ball so wrong and nailed Clarke in the back of the head, giving her a concussion. And I really didn't want her pay me back for that one."
"She hasn't tried to pay you back?" Lexa raised her eyebrow.
"Oh no, she purposely kicks balls at me every day." Octavia said, checking the time on her phone. 3:12. Clarke was almost late.
Just as Lexa was about to say something back, the blonde herself came running in, tying her hair up into a ponytail. Octavia crossed her arms, "You know, if you stopped making out with my brother for two seconds, you wouldn't be late."
Clarke rolled her eyes at her best friend, "I'm not the last one here."
Octavia rolled her eyes in return, "You only beat Harper and Zoey."
"You remember that concussion you gave me?" Clarke asked, putting her hands on her hips and staring down Octavia.
"Yeah." Octavia replied, biting her lip.
"You might want to watch your head."
Octavia rolled her eyes and groaned, "I do that anyway."
"Good." Clarke stated, smirking quickly at Lexa before taking off to join the other girls. Lexa nearly collapsed from that. Just a stupid smirk and her heart was beating faster and the butterflies were back in her stomach. And Clarke knew exactly what she was doing.
When Lexa had finally calmed down she turned to Octavia, "So she's dating your brother?"
Octavia groaned, "Yeah, it's gross."
Lexa laughed louder than she wanted to, earning her a glare from Octavia as they sat down on the grass of the soccer field. Octavia smacked her arm defensively, "It's not funny. I come home and they're just making out on the couch. That's how I found out they were dating too."
Lexa laughed again, but made sure to cover her mouth, "They didn't even tell you?"
"Nope and then they thought it was the funniest thing ever. My own mother thought it was funny."
Lexa was trying desperately not to laugh, "What happens if they break up?"
"We would be avoiding my house at all costs." She said, "But those two are so into each other it would take something major to get them to breakup."
"Geez, Griffin." Octavia said, watching as Clarke walked over after practice with her knee bleeding from the turf. Lexa had never seen a group of girls be so competitive during a practice. They had been doing drills that turned into games between the JV and Varsity. Clarke and Harper had been going at the ball when Clarke hooked her foot the wrong way on Harper's ankle and tumbled to the ground, sliding a little and basically ripping open her left knee.
"What? This is nothin'" Clarke said, sitting down next to Octavia and taking out the remaining pieces of turf that were stuck. "You should see Harper's arm."
Kane, the head coach then came over carrying the first aid kit. "Griffin, if you rip open your leg the week before the first game-"
"Yeah, yeah. Coach I know, but it's really not that bad." Clarke said, waving him off as he grabbed her leg. Several minutes later he had her knee wrapped up and most of the blood cleaned up.
"You know if you injure something else, you're mother will kill me." Kane said. "And it doesn't help that you don't have your brace on."
Clarke rolled her eyes at the look he was giving her, "My sister took it out of my bag when she was looking for something this morning and I forgot to grab it."
"Come on, Griffin, we'd hate for you to tear something in practice." Octavia muttered in Clarke's ear as her and Lexa took the water back to the school. Octavia stopped and stuck out her arm to help Clarke up. Once she was up, the three made their way back to the school. Octavia and Lexa were going on about how Clarke was dating her best friend's brother and how somewhere in the girl code there was a rule against it.
"Do you try to turn everyone against me?" Clarke asked.
"No, definitely not." Octavia replied sarcastically, "Only Lexa."
"Fantastic."
Octavia pulled her arm around Clarke's shoulder, kissing her cheek, "You love me."
"I'm gonna pelt you with a ball."
"Oh, I know. But you still love me."
Clarke rolled her eyes, "you're really testing that right now."
Octavia dramatically put her hand on her chest and scoffed, "Rude."
Clarke shrugged, "I've said worse to you."
"True, maybe I'll just replace you with Lexa."
Now it was Clarke's turn to dramatically scoff, "Rude."
Lexa was nearly taken down a second later by Anya running up and wrapping her arms around her in a bear hug, kissing her cheek, "What up, bitch?"
Lexa squirmed out of her arms, giving her a disgusted look, "You're so sweaty."
"I just ran hurtles for two hours." Anya said.
Lexa rolled her eyes, "Yeah, well hug me after you shower."
"Clarke! Get off of me." Octavia shrieked as the blonde jumped onto her back, wrapping her arms around her neck and screaming triumphantly.
"You didn't fall down this time." Clarke giggled in Octavia's ear. Octavia rolled her eyes as the four girls made their way to the front of the school.
Octavia groaned, "You do this to me everyday and you're just as sweaty every time."
Clarke giggled and kissed Octavia's cheek, "This is my way of making you fit because you have no coordination."
"I'll drop you." Octavia threatened.
"You do that and you'll get a lot worse than a ball to the head." Clarke returned, evilly smiling as Octavia rolled her eyes and kept walking. Octavia turned enough to see Lexa, "You see what I put up with?"
Lexa giggled, "Seems tough. But I have this one over here who gets mad when I don't text her every second of the day."
This earned Lexa a smack on the arm, "I'm not that bad, I just know you don't have anything else to do."
Lexa smacked her once again, "I do shower."
"You've texted me while you were in the shower before."
"Yeah and do you remember what happened?"
Anya bit her lip, trying to hold back a laugh, "You dropped it and your parents almost killed you because they had to get you a new phone."
"Exactly."
"But it was kind of funny."
Lexa glared at her best friend, "Yeah because it wasn't your phone."
Anya nodded, "You're right, but still."
"Why are you carrying my girlfriend?"
"That's a good question big bro." Octavia replied as Bellamy walked over in his baseball uniform, covered in dirt. "Don't try to kiss her while she's on my back."
"Drop me, you die." Clarke threatened with an icy glare at Octavia before turning to Bellamy with a sweet smile, "Hi, babe."
If someone posts a review, I'll post the next chapter. I really want to know what you guys think.
