A few months had passed and Raven and Octavia officially became a couple, which subsequently meant Clarke and Lexa had come to spend more time together. They had come have a sort of love/hate relationship; they loved to hate each other. In reality they didn't really hate each other; they simply had this ridiculously competitive weird friendship. After Clarke had lost at poker a few months back, the two had been betting on anything and everything when they got together. Currently they were at a baseball game with Octavia and Raven. It was the fourth inning and the two had been driving the couple crazy so far.
"Lexa, you are out of your mind!" Clarke yelled beside the brunette.
"You can't honestly think Derek Jeter is the best shortstop that has ever played the game." Lexa stated, dumbfounded. "There's Cal Ripken Jr, Ozzie Smith, hell Barry Larkin. Okay maybe Jeter is better that Larkin but definitely not Ozzie." Then Lexa smiled that cocky smile that Clarke hated. "And let's not forget the greatest one of them all, me."
Clarke rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. Spare me the 'Lexa is great' speech. I've heard it too many times and I'm not buying it."
"You will succumb to my charm eventually princess." The brunette retorted, wiggling her eyebrows causing Clarke to laugh.
"You wish, and never do that with your eyebrows again, it's weird."
"I think you mean sexy."
"That's the farthest thing from what I meant." This had also been that had also naturally developed between the two, this weird flirty thing between them. Lexa would hit on Clarke and Clarke would pretend to hate it.
"You wound me, Princess."
"I'm sure you'll survive, Commander." They continued to battle and argue with each other, neither really watching the game in front of them.
"You know half the time I don't know if they're going to punch each other or jump each other's bones." Raven whispered into her girlfriend's ear. Octavia nodded in agreement.
It was playoff time and both Lawrence and Sheldon High were favorites in their districts. If they won their district then they would get to compete in the state playoffs. And since Lawrence and Sheldon were in different districts Clarke and Octavia drove to Lawrence to see the game. This was the first game of the tournament. They would have to win three more to win their district. Luckily, Sheldon didn't play their district tournament until the following weekend so they would be able to see all the games if the sisters won.
Raven spotted them walking from the parking lot and ran to greet her girlfriend and newly acquired friend. After a quick hello to Raven, Clarke made a beeline for number 25. She saw Lexa walk behind the dugout and thought it would be a good idea to sneak up and scare her. She was careful to hurry but not to be too loud, even tip-toed the last few steps. She was just ready to jumped the corner when-
"Boo!" Lexa grabbed her sides from behind her, making her jump in surprise. Clarke turned around, smacking a laughing Lexa in the arm.
"How the hell did you get behind me!?" Upset that Lexa got the drop on her. Lexa just shrugged her shoulders as an answer. "Seriously, how did you get behind me?"
"I saw you coming so I just waited for you to turn the corner and snuck up on you." Lexa smiled. "It was simply really, you were too focused on your task to recognize your surroundings."
The blonde pouted I response, she wanted to argue but really Lexa was right, even though the blonde wouldn't admit it. "Whatever, I'll get you back."
"Sure, Princess."
"Lexa, what the hell!?" Clarke yelled as she made her way to the side of the dugout. Lexa threw her bat against the fence.
"Not now Clarke!" Lexa barely got her helmet off before Clarke pulled her by the arm and to the side.
"Yes, now." The blonde glared at her. "What is wrong with you?" She asked after seeing Lexa strike out for second time. Something that hadn't happened since Clarke had did that at the very beginning of the season.
"I don't know, okay! She's got a better rise ball than you!" Gesturing towards the pitcher.
And Clarke scoffed. "She wishes." She said. She grabbed Lexa's hand and pulled her towards the fence so they could see a clear view of the pitcher. "She has a tell." Clarke told her and waited to see if Lexa saw it.
But the brunette shook her head. "I don't see anything." She huffed and Clarke rolled her eyes.
"Watch her feet, she leans on her heel if she's throwing a rise ball." It took two pitches before another rise ball came but then Lexa's eyes lit up and Clarke knew she saw it. "For someone who reads poker tells like nobody's business, you're kinda late picking that one up."
"Shut up." Lexa bumped shoulders with her but a smirk was present on her face. "Thanks."
"Don't mention it." Clarke smiled and they walked back towards the dugout. "Better rise ball than me, psht." Clarke scoffed one more time before pushing Lexa towards the dugout, making the other woman chuckle. Once Lexa shared the information with the rest of her team they easily won by a score of 5-1.
The team gathered their stuff quickly for so another team could make their way to the dugout for the next game. The two Mendoza sisters made their way out to the bleachers where Clarke and Octavia awaited them. "Congratulations!" Octavia yelled and picked up her girlfriend in a hug.
"Thanks babe. Thank you guys for coming."
"Yeah, I kind of owe you one Clarke." Lexa admitted, taking the blonde by surprise.
"Uh, yeah. No problem, I know you would have figured it out though."
"Maybe, but thanks anyway." Lexa said seriously.
"You're welcome." The blonde answered. "Can you go back to being an ass, its weird when you're nice." She said, making the other girls laugh.
"Sure, Princess. It was actually starting to hurt a bit anyway." Lexa made a face like she was in pain.
"So are you staying for our next game?" Raven asked her girlfriend. "Should be after this one."
"Of course, I was gonna see if you guys wanted to grab a quick bite to eat?"
"You guys go ahead." Lexa said. "I'm going to stay and watch this game so I know what we're up against."
"You sure?" Octavia asked and Lexa nodded. "Okay, Clarke you coming?" She asked when the blonde didn't move when the couple started walking towards the car.
"Actually, I think I'm going to stay here with Lexa. Just grab me something to eat." The couple didn't say anything, excited for the time alone, and practically took off running towards the parking lot leaving Clarke and Lexa alone.
"Come on, let's grab a seat and scout this bitch." Clarke said as she took her seat on the bleachers patting the bench beside her.
Lexa smirked. "You really shouldn't say things like that."
