The weekend had flew by and it was already Monday which meant school. It was Ontari's first day so her and Clarke left school early to figure out where her classes where.
"So first period you have Environmental Science that's Mr. Green he is right across from Harley which is my first period so we can meet and ill show you to Second." Clarke said as they walking down the halls.
"Okay, where do I meet you for lunch?" Ontari asked.
"We stand out front you should see her, we'll probably go to the dropship or salads which is across the street."
"Are Raven and O here?"
"They are getting us some breakfast and O is going to bring to us in Homeroom which we should be heading to."
"So where is Lexa? When will I meet her?" Ontari raised eyebrow and Clarkes cheeks became rosy pink.
"Well you'll most likely see her after first or at lunch."
After sitting in homeroom for a bout five minutes Octavia finally arrived with either iced coffees and biscuits.
"So you nervous about being the new girl Ontari?" Octavia asked while eating her breakfast.
"No not really."
"Ontari doesn't get nervous it like a gift or something." Clarke rolled her eyes.
"So you were never nervous when you dated Clarke?"
Ontari seemed shocked by the question but played it cool and answered. "No not really, we were pretty comfortable with each other."
Before Clarke could say anything the bell ring and everyone went to their fist class. Ontari didn't wait to walk with Clarke instead she walked ahead and went to the class Clarke had shown her earlier. When Clarke walked in she found Raven and Lexa waiting for her.
"So how's Tari did she find her way around?" Raven asked.
"Yeah,
thinks she going to be okay." Clarke answered as she gave Lexa a quick peck on the lips. "I missed you."
"Me too." Lexa smiled.
"Ugh, lovey dovey. I think I'm allergic to it." Raven rolled her eyes.
"So I guess you and Nylah aren't doing well?" Lexa asked.
"No were great we just haven't talked much since the party."
"Is she not coming to school today?" Clarke asked.
"She has a doctors appointment she wont be back until after lunch."
"Okay class today is going to be a easy day, we'll be putting the finishing touches on your projects if you are completely done then submit it and take today to work on essays if you have to. If you choose to take today as a free day then I expect your essays and projects to be beyond amazing." Mr. Hartley finished giving instructions before returning to his desk.
"I've finished the essay and I think it good." Lexa said.
"And I've already submitted the project so I think were good." Raven said. "We should have a A++ on this project."
"I'd expect nothing less Reyes." Clarke smiled. "So what's the plan for lunch?"
"Obvi The Dropship, it's a tradition especially since tari is back." Raven replied.
"Sounds good to me, What about you Lexa?" Clarke asked.
"That's fine with me." Lexa answered standoffish.
For the rest of the period the three girls spent their time doing work for other classes until the bell rang.
"Can I walk you to class?" Lexa asked Clarke as they packed up their stuff.
"I'm actually showing Ontari to her next class but ill see you at lunch." Clarke gave her a quick kiss before running off to find Ontari.
"Should I be worried?" Lexa asked Raven as they walked together.
"About Ontari? Not at all they're weirdly like sisters even though they dated in the past. Trust me nothing to worry about."
Even with ravens reassurance there was apart of Lexa that wouldn't let her not worry.
The next 3 classes quickly went by really fast and Clarke headed to the court yard where she saw Raven, O, Ontari and Lexa standing awkwardly.
"So I see you too met without me." Clarke smiled as she grabbed Lexa's hand.
"Yeah, Kind of. I'm Lexa." Lexa tried to smiled as she held out her other hand.
"And I'm Ontari, nice to finally meet the infamous Lexa that Clarkey here has been telling me about."
Clarkey? Lexa thought. Is that what she called her while they dated?
"Good things I hope?" Lexa replied.
"So far." Ontari laughed.
"Okay I'm starving can we go." Octavia said.
"Yeah, we can all fit in my car." Clarke said as they started walking to the parking lot. Ontari started to go for the front seat but after getting a semi evil glare from Lexa she decided to get in back Raven and O. After a long silent car ride they finally made it to The Dropship.
"Thank god." Raven whispered to Octavia and they got out of the car. "That was worst than the car ride back from the lake."
"It was definitely crazy awkward, I mean I hated every second of that." Octavia replied.
After getting a table they ordered drinks and Raven couldn't help but try and break the silence.
"So Ontari how's the first day?"
"Pretty good, I even met this girl. Her name is echo she asked me to hangout this weekend."
"Super cute echo? Damn congrats girl." Octavia raised her glass.
"Who is echo?" Clarke asked.
"She's this badass chick who transferred last year she has this band, they're actually really good." Raven said.
"Her band is playing this weekend that's what she invited me too."
"Sounds fun." Clarke said distantly, which Lexa took note of.
"Yeah, Echo is really nice I had class with her last year." Lexa said.
"Well enough about me, O how you liking the jeep?" Ontari asked.
"Loving the jeep, I obviously have to give you a ride in it, trust me you'll never want to ride in another car again."
"Over dramatic much O?" Raven rolled her eyes.
"Not even a little."
The group continued eating their food until it was almost time to go back to school.
"Ontari do you want to take my car?" Clarke said as they pulled back into school.
"How will you get home?"
"I'll drop her." Lexa quickly replied.
"Okay…" Ontari grabbed the keys and pulled out of the lot.
"So do you like her?" Clarke said to lexa as they walked to class.
"She cool, and pretty I see why you liked her."
"Yeah, she's definitely one of a kind. Once you get to know her more you'll come to love her. I'll see you at the end of the day I've got to head to Art early." After giving Lexa a quick hug Clarke filed into the rushing students in the hall.
Lexa couldn't help but wonder if Ontari being here would change things between her and Clarke. She didn't think her and Clarke had feelings for each other but their close friendship worried her.
After school Clarke was making her way to Lexa's car when a girl with long brunette hair with blonde highlights stopped her.
"Hey you're Clarke right?" The girl said.
"That's me."
"I'm echo, Ontari told me she was living with you and after we talked I realized I didn't give her my number I was wondering if you would pass it along for me?" Clarke watched as the girl pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to her.
"Sure, I'll make sure to do that." Clarke smiled slightly before continuing walking. She didn't know why Ontari going on a date kind set her on edge but it did. Sure she was happy with Lexa but she's never seen Ontari with anyone but her. Was this jealousy? No it couldn't be, why the hell would she be Ontari is her family and she wanted her to be happy too.
The ride home with Lexa was quiet, it seemed like they were both lost in their own thoughts, little did they know they were thinking about the same person. When they arrived at Clarkes house both girls just sat for a second before Lexa broke the silence.
"We haven't really got the chance to talk since the party and my mom is dying to show you pictures from her exhibit so do you want to come over for dinner?"
"Tonight I actually cant my parents are taking me and Ontari out for dinner, they have some news to share with us but I have no idea what it is. We should definitely talk though how about I come over after school tomorrow and we spend the day together plus dinner?" Clarke suggested.
"Sounds great, I'll let my parents know." Lexa smiled
"I'll call you later.." The blonde pressed her lips against the brunettes before pulling away. "I love you."
"I love you too." Lexa smiled as she watched Clarke open the door and walk towards her house. Just hearing the three words made Lexa's heart flutter.

As Clarke walked into the house she noticed the living room light on so she walked in to find her mom and Ontari on the couch chatting. When they noticed Clarke they smiled and motioned for her to join.
"Hey sweetheart, we were just wondering when you would be home." Abby smiled as her daughter sat on the couch next to Ontari.
"I got a little held up after school." Clarke said remembering echo.
"With what?" Ontari asks.
"Uh nothing I just had to turn a AP Lit paper in.." What the hell am I doing Clarke thought.
"Oh well I was just telling Abby about my first day."
"She's already got a date this weekend."
"Its not a date we're just hanging out." Ontari tried to hide the redness in her cheeks but failed.
"I think that's exactly what Clarke said the first time she went out with Lexa, now look at them."
At the mere mention of Lexa's name Ontari's whole facial expression changed to something Clarke couldn't even read.
"As lovely as Lexa seems I don't think she likes me very much." Ontari said.
"Why would you think that?" Clarke looked at the brunette.
"Because the way she looks at me, like I just murdered her cat or something."
"I don't see it ." Clarke shrugged.
"I wouldn't expect you to." Ontari rolled her eyes.
"Okay girls dad will be home in a hour or so, so go take showers and get ready for dinner this is a fancy dinner so dress nice ladies." Abby said before heading upstairs. "Oh and Ontari your room is all ready for you so you wont have to sleep in Clarkes anymore. We can go pick out furniture this weekend when I'm off."
"Thanks abby." Ontari gave the older women a hug before gong up to her room.
"What's up with you two?" Abby asked Clarke.
"Nothing, I'm going to go get ready." Clarke ran upstairs to her room before Abby could say another word.
After taking a shower the blonde blow dried her hair and put some light curls in it before taking a comb and parting it down the middle. She put her face makeup on and finished the look with a sleek winged eyeliner and some falsies. Since she didn't have her usual outfit specialists with her (Raven) picking a dress was all up to her. She narrowed it down to 2 dresses a long black one with a slit and a Navy blue long-sleeved lace one, the black one was sexy but since this was a family dinner she decided to go with the blue one because it was more elegant.
Once she was dressed she grabbed her short black heels and went downstairs. Just as she was walking her dad was waling in with a tux. The last time she had seen her dad in a tux was when he was getting honored at Berkley so she knew this was a seriously important dinner.
"Wow my little girl is suddenly so grown up." Jake said as the blonde walked down the stairs. "Both of my girls are." Clarke looked up and Ontari also coming down the stairs and in short black dress and her hair in a half up half down style. Clarke couldn't ignore how amazing she looked.
"Aw Jake stop being a softy." Ontari nudged the older man.
"You know I cant help it, is your mom ready?" Jake turned to Clarke.
"I'm here, I'm ready." Abby answered as she walked down the stairs in a sleek purple dress.
"Sorry girls, but I think your mom looks the best tonight." Jake said as he helped Abby down the rest of the stairs.
"You do look hot Abby." Ontari smiled.
"Okay, Okay enough with the compliments you two lets head to the restaurant."
"So are you guys going to tell us what the hell is going on?" Clarke said as they all got into the car.
"Yes once we get to the restaurant."
Clarke rolled her eyes at the answer but instead of prying she just let it be. The place wasn't that far away and it definitely wasn't the normal week night restaurant they would go to. This place was huge and mega fancy, even the valet people looked rich. Once they got inside Jake had went check in their reservations. While they were waiting the girls went over to the huge paintings hanging on the wall.
"Ontari I don't think I've ever seen you in a dress before you look amazing, that Echo girl is quite lucky." Abby smiled but Clarke just rolled her eyes, she still hadn't given Ontari Echo's number.
"Okay ladies our table is ready." Jake motioned for the girls to follow.
Their table was right beside a huge window which had an amazing view of the city lights. Once their drinks were ordered Jake and Abby finally started talking.
"So guys I know we've kind of made a big deal out of this dinner but this news is definitely worth celebrating." Jake grabbed Abby's hand before continuing talking. "As you know you're mother was a very important asset to the hospital in Arkansas but since we've moved here she's been given a head position at the hospital and has been doing amazing work. Abby do you want to continue?" Jake said to his wife.
"The other day I got a call from my old school of Columbia and they have asked me to speak at this years annual medical alumni ceremony. I know its not that big of a deal since its not with the whole university but its still and honor."
"Abby that's amazing I'm so happy and proud of you." Ontari said.
"Mom this is and incredible opportunity you shouldn't down play it what's so ever. I'm beyond proud of you congratulations."
"Thank you guys so much, the event is next weekend so we'll all be flying out to New York for a weekend. And Clarke I got a ticket for Octavia I think it will be a good way for her to talk to all the other alumni's and Ontari you can of course bring someone as well."
"I'm sure she'll be beyond excited I'll call her later." Clarke said.
As the dinner progressed they ate their food, laughed and had a good time. They got the waiter to take a picture of them because Abby wanted to always remember this day. After they finished Jake paid the bill and they headed home. The car ride was silent but a nice silence, everyone was consoled in their own thoughts to even want to talk to each other.
When they got home everyone went to their rooms and got ready for bed, Clarke got the number out of her jeans from earlier and sat it on her desk. She didn't know why she didn't want to give it to Ontari, there was no way she had romantic feelings for her she knew that for a fact but there was still something holding her back form giving her that number. After she slipped on some pajamas and wiped off her makeup she heard a light knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Hey I just came to say goodnight and sorry for my slight attitude earlier." Ontari opened the door and sat on the bed.
"I'm sorry too." Clarke smiled. "Sisters have tiffs."
"Yeah… They do." Ontari looked out the window. "Well I'm going to head to bed see you in the morning." As Ontari was walking out of the room she stopped at Clarkes desks and picked up a piece of paper. "Why do you have this?"
Clarke looked up and saw the brunette holding up the crumbled up piece of paper and her heart dropped. "Uhm echo asked me to give it to you, I guess I forgot sorry." Clarke tried to brush it off but she knew Ontari wasn't buying it.
Instead of replying Ontari gave a slight nod and walked out of the room. Clarke laid back on her bed buy her phone didn't give her any chance to think about what just happened. It was a goodnight text from Lexa, she quickly texted her back before putting her phone of the table and getting under the covers. She didn't know what would happen tomorrow but she knew it would be awkward.
