Friday comes by faster than anyone expects, Lincoln was just now able to start going to the new school and it was Lexa's job to help him out. I still need help myself. The brunette walks Lincoln in the same path she took her first day. After getting his schedule they went to their shared first hour.
…
As Lexa's fourth hour with Clarke ends, she packs up her things and make her way to the door. "We have to go pick up my cousin Lincoln. He had art." Clarke nods and they walk to the room. "Hey," She says and he walks up to them. "Hi." Clarke says. "Hi." he replies. "Clarke, Lincoln, Lincoln, Clarke." Lexa says and gesture between the two. They go to lunch and then part again as Lexa goes to calculus. Finn takes Lincoln to their shared class. "I'm so glad it's Friday." Raven says as they walk to fifth hour. "I'm am too," Lexa replies. The workload has really caught up with her and coming in after the school year had already started was really proving to be more of a stress issue than she thought it would be.
...
It's not long until the day is over and the group is meeting up at the front doors. "Finally, it's Friday." Raven says as she joins us. "Movie night." Octavia adds. "Speaking of that." Lexa turns her attention to Clarke. "Could Lincoln join us? I don't really want him to be home all alone just yet." "Yes!" Octavia cuts in before Clarke could even say a word. "I was going to say yes but Octavia beat me to it." she laughs. It's only a moment later Lincoln joins us. "Hey, we're having a movie night, wanna join us?" I ask him. "Sure." he says and they all make their ways to the trucks.
The group gather in Clarke's house. The blonde notices that her mom is gone to work like on every Friday night meaning they're alone to do whatever. As soon as they're inside, Jasper goes to make the popcorn and get the other snacks, Raven and Octavia run up to the blonde's room to get blankets and pillows, Monty sets up the DVD Player, Bellamy and Finn rearrange the furniture while Clarke goes through the movie options. "You like scary movies?" Bellamy asks Lexa. She nods her head. "I love them." Bellamy nods his head to me. "You hear the girl." "No, they always scare the shit out of me." Clarke says. "And I still don't trust you guys from when you and Finn bought a Chucky doll and scared me with it after we watched the movie." "Get over it princess." Bellamy says and she looks to Lexa. She laughs. "I'll protect you." That's probably meant as a joke but I'm taking her up on that. "Promise?" Lexa nods. "I promise." As everyone comes into the room Clarke points to each. "No one scares me, deal?" They all nod and Clarke lets them choose the scariest movie they can find.
They all get comfortable in their spot. Finn and Raven cuddled together on one end of the couch followed by Clarke and Lexa. On the next couch Octavia sat next to Lincoln with Bellamy on the other end of the couch. Monty and Jasper sat below them on the floor. They agree to start the movie.
About five minutes into the movie, Clarke finds herself hiding under the blanket. "Don't hog it all." Lexa jokes, and gets under with her, surprising Clarke a bit. They continue to watch the movie. Clarke is almost completely relaxed until a scary part comes up. The blonde clings to the older girl who suppresses a chuckle. Lexa expected Clarke to let go when the scary part was over, but she didn't. I'm definitely okay with this.
As the movie went on, Lexa found herself shifting. She laid out on the couch with Clarke resting her head on her chest and body on the couch. The brunette's arm was wrapped protectively around her and it only tightened further after when she jumped. Lexa laughs. "Stop." Clarke whines quietly as she buries her face in the older girl's shoulder. "What's going on over there?" Octavia calls out and Clarke looks up at her. "Shut up, nothing." Octavia and Lincoln laugh. "Good, I don't wanna see any of that." she jokes. "I could say the same thing to you." Clarke calls out. Lexa looks over and see Lincoln's arm around Octavia's shoulder. "Just go back to the movie." The younger Blake says, earning another laugh from Clarke. Lexa smiles because she can feel it vibrate off of her. It's nice being this close to her.
Clarke scoots up a little bit to get more comfortable. The head rests her head on Lexa's shoulder. "I'm just gonna sleep okay?" The brunette looks down at her as her eyes flutter shut. "Okay." God, she's so beautiful. Lexa stops her thoughts from going further. I don't want to do something I'd regret. Instead she closes her eyes and join the blonde in sleep.
…
Lexa wakes up alone on the couch. Clarke, Finn and Raven were gone but everyone else was asleep. Octavia and Lincoln were cuddling and Bellamy was asleep on the floor with Jasper and Monty. She stands and stretches before looking for her phone. She looks at the messages she got in the night.
12:00 am
Echo- Happy Birthday!
1:00 am
Ontari- Happy Birthday
7:14 am
Costia- Happy Birthday Babe
She rolls her eyes at Costia's message. Oh, now you wanna text me back. She decides to ignore the message from her soon to be ex, opting out of a fight. Not today… She looks her other messages. I had forgot my birthday was today... She wandered out of the room in search of a bathroom.
After successfully finding one and using it, she went looking for Clarke. Lexa finds her in the kitchen making pancakes with Raven. Wouldn't peg her as the cooking type. "Mornin' scaredy baby." Lexa tease Clarke. "Hey, don't tease me, I warned you before the movie started. I had no control over how I reacted." She says, a light blush coating her cheeks. "And don't make fun of the person making you food." she warns. Lexa laughs as she takes a seat by the counter. "Okay, I'm done."
Soon everyone joins in the dining room. Lincoln comes up Lexa and wraps an arm around her shoulder. "Happy Birthday" He says with a small smile. "What is this happy birthday you speak of?" Bellamy asks, an eyebrow raised and a confused look on his face.
"Oh, um, yeah... It's my birthday." Lexa replies. "Why didn't you tell us?" Clarke asks as she puts a pancake on a plate. "I don't know, it never came up I guess." The brunette shrugs.
"Now I feel bad for not getting you guys anything!" Raven says while playfully pushing her. "It's okay," Lexa's never been big on celebrating her birthday so it's really not a big deal to her.
"No it's not!" Raven replies. "Look, it's nothing. I haven't celebrated my birthday since I was thirteen. It's really not a big thing for me." Lexa finally says and Clarke sends her a frown. "We'll celebrate with you today, okay? We'll go out, do something fun." The brunette gives in. How could I not? "Okay." Clarke smiles. I see she likes to win. Lexa can't help but smile. "Okay, well I can start with pancakes." Clarke says and puts a plate in front of her. "Thanks."
After breakfast they made plans. Jasper suggested they go to the park they've been going to since they were kids. As soon as they get there the boys start running around. "What are you? Five?" Raven asks as Finn tags Bellamy. "Join us." He calls and they all give in. The game soon turns into duck duck goose and then hide and seek. "Clarke!" The blonde hears her name whispered harshly and she turns to see Raven. She looks out and then runs to her, hiding under the slide. "Did you see Bellamy?" She asks. The blonde shakes her head and peaks out to make sure she wasn't followed. "Good." Only a moment passed before someone yells behind them.
…
After group leaves the park, they agree to go to the store. As they walk in, the clerk gives them dirty looks. Calm down buddy, we're not gonna rob you. Most of them had picked out and bought their things.
Bellamy and Finn were playing tag between the isles and ended up bumping into Monty, who was last to buy his stuff. He dropped the pop in his hand and we all froze. The can had broke and was now squirting out all over the floor. The store clerk was about to say something, but before he could get it out, they take off running. Maybe he had a right to look at us like that. Clarke laughs at her thoughts as she continues to run down the street.
They were halfway down when she heard him scream for the group to come back. Clarke looks back just in time to see Lexa run and pass her. Damn she's fast.
They come to a lake where they used to swim at. They slow down, catching our breaths. Clarke lies down in the grass as she tries to catch her breath."We'll wasn't that exciting?" Finn said between breaths. Everyone burst out laughing.
"Yeah, Bell! Wasn't that just super fun?!" Octavia said playfully punching him in the chest. "Hey ladies," Jasper sang, "how 'bout we go for a dip?" He asked pointing towards the lake. Finn looked at Raven and she took of running screaming 'no'.
He caught her and threw her over his shoulder and ran into the water. She screamed as he tossed her off his shoulder and into the water. They ran towards the water and the guys began to strip to their underwear. Octavia and Lincoln were next, Octavia squealing as they ran into the water with the guys.
"Come in!" Raven yelled towards Clarke and Lexa. Clarke took off her pants and then my shirt, not needing much to convince her. Lexa stood there, fully dressed looking awkward. "Come on, your turn." The blonde gestured towards her shirt. She shook her head no as her cheeks turned red. Clarke giggled and tugged the hem of her shirt up myself. She pulled it over her head and threw it on the ground. "Your turn." She says gesturing towards her pants. The blonde felt her own face start to heat up. This is probably too much.
They were getting really close and all she wanted to do was kiss her. Don't kiss her. I'm already forcing her out of her comfort zone by making her strip, kissing her would ruin everything. She finally gave in and took off her pants. Clarke grabbed her hand and guided her to the lake and into the water, shrieking as the cold water touched them. "Finally!" Bellamy said, throwing his arms around the two girls. He winked at Lexa and gave Clarke a head nod. Lexa pushed him away jokingly. "Help! Bell!" They look over to see Octavia being picked up and thrown in the water by Lincoln. They all laugh and Bellamy swims off towards his sister. "So now what?" Lexa asks. "You've got me in here so what's your plan?" Clarke laughs and starts to splash at her.
The girls joined the game of Marco Polo. Lexa was it. "Marco!" She shouted out. "Polo!" Was shouted from all over. "Marco!" "Polo!" Lexa tried to follow the sound and failed. She continued. After a while of catching nothing but water, the brunette started getting frustrated. Out of nowhere, she heard someone-Clarke- whisper in her ear, "Marco." She giggles. "That's not how you-" She was cut off when she felt a hand grip her butt. Did she just… Her eyes shot open and she saw Clarke with a huge grin on her face. She did. Lexa laugh, shaking her head before saying, "You're it." and swimming away.
After playing many more games, the sun began to set and they had spent way too much time swimming. They climbed out and attempted to air dry while watching the sunset. Raven and Finn had a harder time drying off since they went in in their clothes. "How bout a game of never have I ever?" Octavia suggests. "Drink if you've done it." She said shaking her pop can. Jasper gave Monty his extra and they all got ready to play. Clarke started off.
"Never have I ever finished an entire jaw breaker." She said shrugging. No one drank so she had to. It was Lexa's turn. She thought for a moment and then said, "Never have I ever smoked weed." The brunette was surprised to see everyone, including Clarke, drink. She looked at her, shocked.
"What? It's a stress reliever. I haven't needed it recently though." Blue eyes stared deep into green and Lexa felt a fluttering in her chest. Is she trying to tell me something? "Never have I ever been in handcuffs." That was Octavia. "That's not fair!" Bellamy yelled. "Yeah, you're the one that handcuffed all of us that one night!" She just shrugged her shoulders. "Too bad." everyone but Lexa and Octavia drank.
"Okay, my turn," Finn said sitting up. "Never have I ever shaved my balls." Bellamy shamefully took a drink. Everyone burst out laughing and he flipped them off. "Okay, okay." Raven said, trying to stop laughing. "Never have I ever peed in a bush." All of the guys took a drink. "Jasper's' turn." Monty said, hitting his chest.
"Never have I ever peed my pants." He said. Raven was the only one who took a drink. "What? It was the third grade... I hated that damn teacher," she said. She began to imitate the teacher, "You can hold it. No I can't fucking hold it." Finn rubbed her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Monty's next. "Never have I ever been in a car accident." Everyone-except for Lexa and Octavia- drank. Lincoln went after him. "Never have I ever, shot a gun." Bellamy, Finn and Jasper drunk.
Bellamy was next. After he thought for a moment he said,"Never have I ever had my head shaved." Jasper, Lincoln and Monty drunk.
It was Clarke's turn again. "Never have I ever gotten caught sneaking out." Octavia, Bellamy and Raven drink. Lexa looks at Clarke and chuckles. "Oh? Miss. Badass never snuck out?" She asks, raising her eyebrow. "Actually, I have snuck out before, I just never got caught" The blonde smirks. She's flirting.
"Your turn Lexa." Monty said, using his elbow to get the brunette's attention. Right before she starts talking, the rain starts, re-wetting their already wet clothes. "Patio." Bellamy calls out and they pick up their things and run to it. "Still your turn." Clarke tells Lexa. She thinks for a second and then said. "Never have I ever skipped school." Everyone drinks.
"Oh, my god Lexa! You're so innocent! She still has a drink!" Octavia exclaims. They all laugh and Lexa mentally curses because she knows she's blushing. "Guys, she can't help that she's so innocent." Clarke says and leans on the brunette, sending a smirk her way.
"Hey, you never know. She could be all innocent around us and an animal in bed." Raven teases. Let's stop talking about me. "Okay, who's turn is it? Mine?" Octavia says as she sits more comfortably.
"Never have I ever kissed a girl." Well she got me there. Lexa takes her first drink and looks around to see if anyone else saw her. Well… They noticed… And Clarke did too. "Woah, I got her." Octavia says proudly and then she looks at Raven who had just put her can down. "Who have you been locking lips with?" The brunette only laughs and shakes her head. "That's not part of the game." Octavia waves her off and looks back at Lexa.
"Are you into girls?" Now I know I'm blushing. Shit. "It's okay, Clarke's bi and apparently Raven here has had her share of lady kisses." Raven reaches over Finn to smack Octavia on the leg. "It was one person, now stop." Wait, Clarke's bisexual? "Thanks for telling everyone O." Clarke laughs as she leans back, using her hands as support.
"Shut up, it's not like everyone doesn't already know. Now, Lexa. My question." Octavia raises an eyebrow as she waits. "You don't have to answer her." Clarke says. No, I want her to know… I nod my head and a smile spreads over Octavia's face. "That's great. She pulls out her phone and types something. "Finn's next right?" Lexa's phone vibrates and she pulls it out.
10:24
Mom- It's late, I need you and Lincoln to come home.
Damn. "Guys, me and Lincoln have to go home." She says. She can see the disappointment clear on Clarke's face.
Everyone lets out a collective whine as the two get up to leave. "Me and Clarke will walk you guys home." Octavia says as she stands up. Lexa looks down at Clarke who's still sitting. "Yeah, it's not that far." she stands.
"Bye." They all call out as they walk towards the brunette's house. Clarke and Lexa walk side by side talking as the other two lag behind. They hear Octavia giggle at something Lincoln says. "So they're definitely gonna end up together." Clarke says and Lexa laughs, nodding as she glances back at the couple.
They get to Lexa's house. Octavia and Lincoln say goodbye, hugging. "I'll meet you in there." Lexa says when he looks back at her from the door. What am I doing? He nods and walks in.
Lexa turns to Clarke and she smiles at her. Blue eyes seem to sparkle brighter than usual. She's so beautiful. They both forget about Octavia only being a few feet away from them.
"So." Clarke comes a bit closer. "I have a confession." Lexa feels her heart flutters at the blonde's words. What is it? She only raise an eyebrow, not trusting the words in her mouth. "I-" She's blushing. "Okay, I'm just-" Her hand comes up, resting on the brunette's jaw and she kisses her. This was unexpected… Good but unexpected….
Lexa kisses her back, letting her hand rest on the blonde's hip. They don't pull away until they hear the door open. She turns to see her mom at the door. "Come inside Lexa." Damnit. She looks from her mom back to Clarke. "Bye." She says, sorrow clear in her eyes and walks in.
