Ch.9


~Last time~

"See you later." he says, walking away from us before disappearing.

"This school is going to be a lot more active than it used to be." Lexa says, making a few of us laugh.


~Now, four days later~

It was three days later when four new students were the talk of the college and although we already knew who they were, we decided to go and meet them the next morning, when they arrived.

"Do we really have to do this?" Raven asks, walking behind me as we made our way to the front of the school.

"Sadly, yes. My mother messaged me saying that we better be the first ones to see them. I don't want to find out what the 'or else' at the end of the message meant." I grumble, knowing damn well who we were going to see.

Three out of the four weren't so bad, but Murphy and Finn together was a shit show waiting to happen. Thankfully, Emori was there to keep Murphy in line.

"Me either, but I don't want to see him." Raven says, scooting closer to Luna.

"Just stay near Luna and if he says anything, she'll kick his ass." Lexa says, her eyes half open.

"This is most likely going to be the worst day I've had since school started." Octavia grumbles, leaning against Harper.

"At least Lincoln and Monty will be there as well. Not to mention Bellamy is going to be arriving with them." Harper says, fully awake and aware of her surroundings.

"This is going to kill me." I say, turning to look back at Lexa as she trailed behind us.

"No need to wait for me." she says, looking up at me when she catches up.

"I know, but it's better if I arrive next to you so you can hold me back if I try to kill Finn." I say, shrugging my shoulders like I didn't just mention murder in front of the next queen.

"I hate this already." Octavia says, seeing the five silhouettes coming towards us as we continued walking.

"No need to worry. Your guards have arrived." Lincoln says, making us all look at him.

"Our guards?" Raven asks, raising an eyebrow at him.

"You two are always going to be with Luna and Lexa, so we might as well be all of your guards." Monty says, shrugging his shoulders.

"Point taken...I guess." Octavia says, glaring as the silhouettes came closer.

"My dear baby sister, what's with that glare?" Bellamy says, reaching us first.

"It's so early in the morning. That's what." she grumbles, slamming her face into his chest and closing her eyes.

The first three catch up pretty fast with Finn taking up the back of the line.

"CLARKE!" Niylah, my close friends from back home, yells giving me a hug.

"Hey, Niylah." I say, patting her back awkwardly.

"I missed you so much." she says, letting me go and smiling at me.

"I missed you too. These are my friends Luna and Lexa." I say, pointing at the two.

"Luna and Lexa...as in the princesses?" she asks, raising an eyebrow at me.

"Yes, and I'm still pissed that everyone knew their names except us." Octavia grumbles, before looking up from her brother's chest.

"Hey Emori." Harper says, waving enthusiastically at the girl.

"Hi." she replies, waving back slowly.

Emori doesn't move from Murphy's side, not knowing what to do.

"Hey Murphy." I say, watching the grin appear on his face.

"Ah Princess, how I missed you so." he says, moving closer to me.

"Touch me and I break your hands." I say, watching as he stops and shrugs.

"I guess I shouldn't call you princess with actual princesses around huh?" Murphy asks, pointing at the two girls.

"It's starting to grow on her." Luna says, making me turn to her.

"We have heard it quite a bit from Raven." Lexa says, nodding her head slowly.

"Traitors." I grumbled, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I was the first to call her that." Finn finally speaks, making everyone turn towards him.

"We know." Harper says, trying her hardest not to glare at him.

"FINN!" a high pitched voice comes out of nowhere before a blonde girl slams into Finn.

"How did she find out he was coming?" Bellamy asks, looking at Finn who is on the floor with a dazed look on his face.

"That would be me. I figured it would be best if she showed him around instead of having him around us and making the atmosphere suck." Monty says, staring at the two on the ground.

"Great idea. Let's leave now before they get back up." Raven says, giving Monty a thumbs up.

"I'm with her." Luna says, moving to stand beside Raven.

"Let's get going then." Lexa says, grabbing my hand to pull me along.

We all shuffled away from the two who were still on the ground and made our way towards the office.

"We're taking them to the office first?" I ask, looking at Lexa as she continued to hold my hand.

"Yeah. They still have to get their schedules." Bellamy says, walking behind Lexa and me with a raised eyebrow.

I just shrug my shoulders since I don't know why Lexa has yet to release my hand.

"Will any of us share the same classes?" Emori asks, walking hand-in-hand with Murphy through the halls.

"Only some of your classes will be the same. The rest of your classes will be with Murphy, Niylah, and Finn." Bellamy says, keeping his eyes trained on what was in front of us.

"How do you know their schedules already?" Octavia asks, turning towards her brother.

"I went to the office the last time I was here and asked about it." Bellamy said, laughing at Octavia's glare.

"Did Echo show you where it was?" I ask, causing Octavia to bust out laughing instead.

"No, she didn't. Anya and Maya did on their way to class." Bellamy said, clearly annoyed with the implication.

"No need to get mad brother. You are the one who keeps ogling her and Lexa's hands." Octavia says, a grin now resting on her face.

Lexa quickly looks down before a pink flush covers her face.

"She forgot she even grabbed your hand." Luna says, laughing at her sisters darkening face.

"For a while, I forgot about it too." I say, feeling Lexa's hand leave mine.

"Sorry about that." Lexa says, rubbing the back of her neck.

"It's okay." I say, smiling at her.

"Don't even say anything John." Emori's voice says, making us all look at an opened mouth Murphy.

"I wasn't going to say anything bad." he grumbles, closing his mouth in defeat.

"If it was towards Clarke, then yes you were." Emori says, her lips in a straight line.

"Trust me Emori, I'm used to all the stupid things he says." I say, watching Murphy's eyebrow twitch.

Murphy opens his mouth again but shuts it when Emori elbows him.

"This school year is gonna be great." Monty says, making all of us laugh.

Except of course Murphy who was pouting.
