Lexa rolled her eyes as her sister continued to dig through her closet. "I don't know why you're so nervous. It's just bowling." She said as she lay on her Raven's bed.

"I want to make a good impression." Raven came out with another outfit. "We've been talking and texting the past few days and Octavia seems really cool. How about this one?"

"We're going bowling." Lexa stressed. "I don't think a skirt we're everyone can see your ass is the best choice." She sighed and stood up and walked into Raven's closet. She grabbed a pair of jeans, a black camisole, a red jacket, and a pair of knee boots then threw them on the bed. "There. Now get ready we're leaving soon."


"Tell me again why I let you talk me into this?" Clarke asked as they pulled into the bowling alley.

"Because you're my best friend and you love me." Octavia answered. "Besides Raven seems really cool and I want you to meet her." They found a parking spot and made their way in. Octavia had already received a text that Raven and her sister had arrived and reserved a lane. As they made their way in she spotted the brunette and some other girl that Octavia presumed was her sister. She waived and pulled Clarke along. The blonde saw where they were headed and glared at the taller brunette. Shit! That's the bitch that was trash talking.

It seemed the other girl recognized Clarke as well and shot a glare her way then looked to her sister. "You didn't tell me the best friend was the pitcher."

"You wouldn't have come otherwise." Raven answered then turned towards the two walking towards them. "Hey." She said, smiling shyly.

"Hi." Octavia returned. "Glad you guys could make it. Raven this is Clarke. Clarke, Raven."She introduced the two.

"Nice to meet you Clarke." Raven greeted then gestured towards Lexa. "This is my sister, Lexa.

Lexa smirked and held out her hand. "Hey Princess."

Clarke rolled her eyes and huffed as she brushed past her. She didn't know why but Clarke hated the girl. She didn't even know her. She's just so arrogant and annoying. "You seem pretty confident for someone that's about to get their ass kicked." Clarke finally acknowledged her. "Especially after getting it handed to you the other day." Lexa scoffed.

"You got lucky Princess, I was having an off day."

"Can't you just admit I'm awesome?" Clarke smarted, for some reason she loved getting underneath the brunette's skin.

"Those words will never leave my mouth."

"Don't mind Lexa, she's still cranky that you struck her out twice, in one game." Raven told the blonde. "That's never happened before." She feigned whispered and received a punch from her sister.

"Is that so?"

"Like I said, an off day." Lexa said through gritted teeth.

"I'm going to get shoes." Octavia said trying to break the tension. "Raven, you want to come with? Clarke, I'll get yours." She said wanting a moment alone with Raven.

"Be nice." Raven warned her sister. "Size 9 right?"

"Yes and I'm always nice." Lexa answered and both Raven and Clarke scoffed. "Whatever." She went and plopped down in one of the seats.

"Are you always so delightful?" Clarke asked and Lexa could hear the sarcasm dripping from the blonde.

"Are you always so annoying?" The brunette answered and Clarke rolled her eyes. Clearly they weren't going to be bonding or anything soon so she took a seat at the monitor and started entering their names. Lexa sat playing on her phone when she heard the blonde giggle. She glanced over and chastised herself for thinking that the infuriating blonde was kind of adorable in her tight Captain America baseball tee, skinny jeans, and chucks. Her hair was down with a two braids starting in the front then woven together to keep her hair out of her face. Just then Lexa looked up at the monitor.

"What the fuck! Change that." She demanded when saw the name Clarke entered for her.

"Nope." The blonde smiled, glad to have gotten a rise out of the other woman.

"You're being childish. Change it."

"Oh, I'm being childish?" The blonde questioned. "Says the girl who hates me for besting her at the plate, you don't even know me."

"Fine, I'll change it. Move!" Lexa made an attempt to get to the computer only to have Clarke swat her hands away.

"No, it stays." She said and the brunette then moved to get past her and Clarke pushed her back slightly before hugging the entire console that held the monitor. "Go away."

"What are you two do-oh my god." Raven laughed. "That's hilarious!"

"Shut up, Raven."

"Whatever you say Miss Grumpy Pants." She laughed again, this time Clarke joined her, followed by Octavia chuckling softly. Clarke was normally a sweet and kind person but something about the brunette brought out Clarke's competitive and ornery side.

"I'm not playing unless she changes it."

"Clarke, be nice." She handed the blonde her shoes. "Erase it so we can bowl."

The blonde pouted. "Fine." As much fun as she was having tormenting Lexa, she wanted Octavia to have a good time with Raven.

"How about we make this interesting?" Raven suggested as she put on the bowling shoes.

"What do you suggest?"

"Let's spilt into teams and losers' buy dinner…tomorrow night."

"No way." Lexa said. "I'm not spending another night with her." Gesturing towards Clarke.

"Like you're a ray of sunshine." The blonde answered. "I would be scared of getting beat again too, if I were you." Baiting Lexa.

"Fine, you're on." She smirked. "I'll enjoy eating a free meal." She held out her hand, to shake on the bet.

"Deal." Clarke took it. "But I will be the one eating for free. I'm just as good at bowling as I am at softball, so I'm not worried."

"Oh no." Raven interrupted them. "I'm not spending the entire night listening to you two bicker."

"She's right. It will be you two on a team versus Raven and I." Octavia stated and Clarke and Lexa stared at each other for a second.

"Fine."

"Yeah, okay." They both agreed.

"Great." They went to pick their bowling balls.


"Wanna make a side bet?" Lexa asked as she and Clarke waited for the other two girls who seemed to take a lot longer than necessary to pick out their bowling balls.

"I think that the first sentence you spoke to me without any attitude." The blonde answered and Lexa raised an eyebrow waiting for an answer. "Sure, what do you want to bet on?"

Lexa thought about it for a second. "If I win…you have to call me Commander and do everything I say for the rest of the night and tomorrow…since it looks like we have to tag along with those two again."

Clarke took a minute, thinking it over. "Okay…if I win you have to wear a shirt that says Clarke is awesome for the next five times we have to hang out together."

"You think I'm going to willingly hang out with you five different times?"

"No, but O is my best friend and she really likes your sister. I see them begging us to hang out with them until they get to know each other better."

Lexa nodded, agreeing with her. "Okay, it's a bet."


"I thought you said you were good at this!" Lexa growled as Clarke's ball hit the gutter for the third time. Part of her was kind of glad because she didn't want to wear that shirt, but the other half didn't want to pay for dinner either.

"Maybe I lied." The blonde answered sheepishly.

"Why?"

"Because you're an ass, I'm not going to admit that I suck to you."

"Looks like we're getting free food tomorrow." Raven sang. Both Clarke and Lexa glared at her then looked at each other in determination.

"Alright Princess," Lexa sighed out. "Let me show you how it's done. Grab your ball." Clarke once again rolled her eyes at the nickname Lexa has decided to give her.

"Why do you keep calling me that?" She asked as she picked up her ball and followed Lexa.

Lexa shrugged. "You seemed too girly to be a badass softball player when I first saw you, it seemed fitting."

"So you do think I'm a badass softball player?" Clarke smirked.

"I'm not answering that." Lexa smirked back and Clarke smiled, knowing that was the closest she was going to get. "Okay you throw the ball with ridiculous spin, but it's obviously heavier than a softball so you're either going to have to add more spin to get it stay in the lane, which takes a lot of strength. Or you have to lose the spin all together." Lexa said as she stood behind the blonde as she nodded.

"Okay, what do you suggest?"

"I say lose the spin." Lexa took the ball, setting it on the ground then put her hands on Clarke's arms moving her a couple steps. "See that little arrow just right to the center?"

"Yes."

"Line up with that. You want to hit just to the left or right of the center pin so you get more of a domino effect. If you hit the center pin directly, you'll usually end up with a spilt which is incredibly difficult to get a spare then." She spoke softly, not wanting the "enemy" to hear. Clarke nodded in acknowledgement. Lexa placed her left under Clarke's and her right hand on the blonde's waist, trying to ignore the spark that traveled through her. "I'm not a lefty so it's a little difficult to teach but take a few steps and keep your wrist straight when you release the ball." She guided Clarke through a practice throw. "Got it?"

"I think so." Clarke nodded and Lexa handed her the ball. She stood back a few steps to watch Clarke. The blonde did everything she said and released the ball, surprisingly knocking eight pins down. Clarke turned back towards her with a smile. "Thanks." She walked back towards the ball return.

"You're welcome."

"You're still an ass." Clarke said and Lexa smiled too.

"You're still a princess."


A/N: I don't know a lot about bowling so sorry if anything I said was wrong.
