"You're being stupid." Getting right to the point, Raven didn't sugar coat what she wanted to say which made Clarke turn to look at her with slits as eyes. Octavia nodding and voicing her agreement with the statement, received the glare as well. Neither were fazed.
The warning bell hadn't rung yet. They still had half an hour before first period and they were spending it very productively. This meant that Clarke was going to spend the next half hour pretending not to be gawking at the new girl in school while Octavia and Raven annoy her. It was pretty rare for a student to transfer to a different school in their senior year. To Clarke, she didn't seem like just any student either. She was strikingly beautiful. Her features were intense and yet she seemed to exude warmth and compassion. The new girl was definitely going to attract a lot of attention. Also, add the fact that she somehow knew Lauren Jauregui and quite intimately as Clarke noticed.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Octavia suddenly asked what all three of them were thinking and wondering as well. Lauren Jauregui didn't hang out with just anybody. Her reputation made it impossible to go near her. Her "boys" always made sure of that. It wasn't like any male in the school stood a chance with her. It was no secret that Lauren prefered the female physique. Although, that didn't deter the mindless men hypnotized by her being. This was apparently why her "boys" stuck around her so much. With the appearance of this new girl, however, Lauren might not have to worry about the unwanted attention anymore.
"Lauren's probably asking her out." Clarke said with such disdain that it even surprised her best friends. Lauren was just too close to her. She seemed to be talking so tenderly and with so much love that it annoyed Clarke to no end. The girl looked uncomfortable too. That didn't sit well with Clarke at all.
Clarke and Lauren were never really friends. They weren't hostile either. They were just classmates in the same grade in the same school. The only other person who could match up with Lauren though would be Clarke. While Lauren was the unapproachable goal for most of the school's population, Clarke was the "girl-next-door" type. She always tried to help when asked for favours. She smiled and paid attention to anyone who would stop her in the middle of the hallway. She never felt distant with the rest of the student body like Lauren was and maybe this was the reason why she became so unreachable for most. The point was that, if asked who "ruled" the school, an answer would be given out of two choices - Clarke Griffin or Lauren Jauregui.
