Lexa POV
I did not stop hearing about it from Anya last night. I've known her for eight days and she's already acting like she's my best friend. But I am feeling more comfortable around her than I have around any of my other foster siblings, she is really trying to help me feel more comfortable here and it's working.
Both, her and Indra are being really cool and down to earth about everything. Plus Indra is a great cook. Every day, except yesterday, she has cooked something different for dinner, and it all has been amazing.
After Clarke left, Anya wouldn't leave me alone for what felt like hours. But when she finally did I was able to sit down and think about the weird day I have had. The first thing I thought about, of course, was Clarke and how open she was yesterday. I was so infuriated that anyone would treat her so badly. Then I remembered Finn's threat. I couldn't care less about being beaten up, but if he laid a finger on Clarke I swear I would kill him.
When I woke up the next morning I was super excited about the party, and at the same time nervous as hell. But all that subsided when I smelled bacon. I shot up and took off down the steps, when I entered the kitchen I saw Anya standing at the stove poking whatever it was she had in the pan.
"Morning, twerp." She said without turning around "Mom should be home in about thirty minutes. So I figured I'd fix breakfast. You like waffles?" She asked as the waffle iron next to her dinged.
"Yes!" I shouted excitedly. I walked over to the cabinet to pull out cups before grabbing the Orange juice from the fridge.
"So you ready for your big party tonight?" She asked as she slid a plate across to me. I just nodded as I devoured the food in front of me. "Will your blonde friend be there?" She asked. At that question I stopped eating.
"Um, yea. She'll be there." I said. The thought of seeing her and Finn outside of school kind of made me want to vomit, well after yesterday Finn in general makes me want to vomit.
"You gonna ask her out?" Anya asks before taking another bite of waffle and looking across the table. I haven't told her I'm a lesbian or that I like Clarke. How is everyone picking up on it? "Don't try to tell me that you're not gay," she says bluntly "It's flowing off you like a waterfall. Not that. I mind it's nice to have another girl in the house who understands not liking men." She says with a sweet smile.
"You're a lesbian too?" I question. She just nods.
"Yea, I have been since I was like 15. But I just came out like 2 years ago." She says, turning her attention back to her food.
"Wow," I said "I wouldn't have guessed. I guess we are more alike than I thought." I said smiling back at her.
"Yea" she said. The rest of the morning went by without any more surprises. It was about three o'clock when I went upstairs to take my shower. The warm water helped relieve my nerves, and my mind wandered to happier places. Thoughts of Clarke started popping into my head, they weren't as innocent as the ones before had been. I was cut off from my paradise when the water started to turn cold so I hopped out before I became hypothermic.
I spent the remainder of my time before the party trying on clothes and freaking out internally. I finally decided on a pair of black skinny jeans, a white top that showed just enough, and a leather jacket. I was putting on makeup when Anya walked in.
"Your friend, Raven is here you want me to tell her to wait or send her up?"
"Actually, I'm done." I said putting my bag down on the floor before standing up. I followed Anya down the steps into the living room where Raven was standing.
"Wow,"She said when her eyes met mine "I mean, you look good!" She said obviously embarrassed.
"Thanks! You too." I said with a smile.
"Well you two better get going if you want to make it to your party." Anya said "If you run into any trouble let me know." She said before wrapping her arms around my shoulders.
"Yep! See you later Anya." I said as I followed Raven out the door.
"Wow, she's hot. Must run in the family." Raven says nudging me jokingly.
"Yea, probably." I said. When we pull up in front of the Blake house I can see Clarke's car and I get nervous. I step out of the car and look up to the door, before Raven lays her hand on my shoulder.
"Hey, just have fun don't let those two bother you." She said with a smile.
"Let who both…" Before I finish Raven shoots me that look she gave me yesterday at lunch. "Ok" I sighed. When we reach the door Octavia greets us both with a hug.
"Hey, my favorite Lesbians!" She yells "So there are drinks in the kitchen and food on the table. We were just getting ready to start a game, so hurry up so we can start." She says before run it back to her spot next to Lincoln. Raven and. I make our way to the kitchen, where she tries to pour me a drink.
"No thanks" I say waving my hand at her "I don't drink." That comment earns me a puzzled look from the other brunette.
"You're kidding right?" She asks. I just shake my head, but the look on my face left no doubt that I was being serious.
"I had a really bad incident with a person who was drunk once. So I don't and won't drink." Her look switched from puzzled to a more understanding one.
Well that's reasonable I guess. She said while looking around for something then out of nowhere she tossed me a two liter of Coke. "There your buzz for you then." She said with a joking smile.
"Thanks." I say with an appreciative smile.
"Hey! let's go you two!" Octavia says from the doorway. "Wait, why do you have a two liter of Coke?" She asks causing Raven to laugh.
When we reach the living room everyone is on the floor in a circle with an empty tequila bottle in the middle. I sit down next to Clarke and Raven.
"Ok everyone!" Octavia yells "So standard rules, first kiss equals just a peck, second is with tongue, third is 5 minutes in the closet." With that last part Raven groans.
"Some of us just got out of the closet." She says looking at me before everyone, except Finn, erupts in laughter. The game went on harmless until it was Finn's turn to spin, and when the bottle stopped it landed right on Monty.
"Pucker up pretty boy!"Monty says jokingly. Which causes Finn to groan and walk off to the kitchen. "Well I guess that's done." Monty says "Just Dance anyone?" With that Octavia squealed before running to set it up.
"I had just got done facing a gainer Monty when I realized I was really freaking thirsty. I was filling a glass with water when a hand grabbed the same spot that Finn had yesterday. When I turned around I was not surprised to see him staring at me.
"I thought I told you to stay away from her." He growled. "I know she was at your house yesterday after school. Don't make me tell everyone about why you're really here." At that I knew my face went pale. "My mom works for children services, I've heard your story a thousand times. What was his name?Gustus? I bet you liked I..." he was cut off by Clarke entering the room and he finally dropped his hand.
"What did you like?" She asked with a puzzled look.
"Just Dance." He said walking towards her. "She was pretty good wasn't she?" He says giving me a smirk.
"Yea. You okay Lexa? You look really pale." She said walking over to put her hand on my forehead. But before she can I pull back.
"Yea…" I say shakily "I just need some air." I say before taking off out the back door. I sit down on the swing set before I let the tears roll. My hand find its way to my wallet and from there it finds the tiny little picture of my mom and me on my seventh birthday.
"Hey!" Octavia says making me jump a bit "What's wrong?" She asks as I hurry to bury the picture in my pocket and wipe my eyes.
"Nothing," I say hoping to just play it off. But from the look on her face I knew it didn't work. "I was thinking about my mom." I said as I pulled the picture out to give to her. "She died when I was eight."
"Oh," she says while looking at the picture "I'm sorry… You look just like her you know. Your eyes especially." She says with a smile as she wraps an arm around my shoulder. She hands me back the picture.
"I think that she was prettier…" I say looking at the picture before I put it back in my pocket. "Come on you have a party to enjoy." I say faking a smile just as I was about to get up and walk back in Clarke stumbles through the door followed by a very angry Finn.
"Let's go Clarke!" He yells as he marches down the steps. "You said you didn't want to do it here so let's go!" He yells as he grabbed her jacket.
"No! I want to hang out friends! Just cause you are weird about some of them being gay doesn't mean I have to leave!" She says as she pulls away from her grip.
"I'm starting to think some of their homo dust has gotten on you." He says with a chuckle.
"And what if it has?" She questions "Have you ever thought that I might have feelings like them?" Just as she finishes her sentence I hear a loud crack and Clarke is on the ground. Without even noticing I was moving my shoulder connects with his gut, and I tackle him. Octavia had rushed over to me but not before I got a few good hits on his face. By the time she has finally got me off him Bellamy and Lincoln have their arms around him pulling him through the fence.
I wiggled my way out of Octavia's grip and got down next to Clarke.
"You okay?" I ask as I sit her up. The red handprint on her pale cheek is enough to make my blood boil.
"I don't know," she says as she rubs her head from where she hit the concrete.
"Come on let's get you home." I say as I lift her to her feet. I led her to her car, but not before shooting Octavia an apologetic smile.
So, I'm loving this story so far, I hope you are too! Don't forget to let me know what you think!
