Chapter 2
School days sucked, because you need to wake up early and the most annoying thing that could wake you up, is none other than your alarm clock.
BEEP… BEEP… BEEP… BEEP…
Clarke was startled by her alarm clock. She put her pillow on her head and literally ignored the annoying sound buzzing in her eardrums. Faint sound of her clock still ringing through her skull and it's making her head gone crazy.
"Okay! I'm up, I am up." Clarke sat up from her bed and looked at the annoying clock. She reached for it and threw it across the room. The buzzing stopped from now on pieces parts of a clock and a smile creeped on her.
"Don't make me buy another clock for you Clarke!" Abby shouted from downstairs of their household.
Clarke just rolled her eyes by her mother's statement from downstairs. She reached out for her phone on the table beside her bed and saw messages from commander, Octavia, and Raven. Clarke swiped her phone and looked at the text message from the unknown number first.
Commander: Good morning Clarke! I hope you had a great sleep and remember don't let your ex-boyfriend ruin your day. Talk to you whenever.
The text message was sent almost over an hour ago, and it's like almost eight o'clock in the morning. Clarke thought this woman never sleep or maybe she's just productive every day. The text made Clarke smile because someone cared for once.
Clarke: Good morning to you too commander. I see you're a morning person and thanks for the concern. Totally won't let that jerk ruin my day.
Clarke scrolled down through her messages and read her friend's texts.
Rae-Mechanic: I will kill that dickhead! Tell me you aren't eating chocolates at this moment, that would be so disgusting Griffin! Just don't do anything stupid, we got your back. Sorry about last night, I got caught up on something and totally not having the chance to checked on my phone. See you at school Clarke.
Coolest Blake: Is it only just me or Raven too already plotting how to kill that motherfucker? If she's already plotting we can team up, I can talk to Bell too and the rest of the gang. I, a known your stupid friend, forgive me for not checking my phone last night. School sucks, but see ya!
Clarke shook her head by her friend's antics, but she can't blame them though. They were both right about Finn. Clarke texted both Raven and Octavia 'see you at school' a text of Clarke that meant she's not in the mood to talk about it at the moment. Clarke know Raven and Octavia will corner her later at school that's why she just texted a four words message.
Then, the memory of yesterday hit her. Remembering herself crying over a douche man, frozen up in the middle of a park, and running away like someone kicked her puppy. A chuckle left her mouth because she won't ever let that happen again. The mystery person is right about her, she deserved better. She will just forget about Finn and live her life. There are many boys and girls around her surroundings, not just Finn. Clarke won't let herself be down by a single man. A buzz on her phone broke her trance and saw the messenger, commander, another smile crept on her.
Commander: Tell me your getting ready for school right now.
Oh crap! Clarke totally forgot about school, how she could be so stupid! She looked at her table to check on the time and also forgot about her clock being broken on the floor. She checked her phone's time 7:38 am. Clarke cursed under her breathe, she's going to be late!
Clarke: Fuck! I'll talk to you later, I'm totally late for shcool. Crsp bte!
Clarke hit send and read her message to the unknown number. "Fucking typos! Life hates me!" Another buzz came.
Commander: That's what I thought so too, crsp, shcool, and bte! Ttyl!
Clarke can't help but giggled to her anonymous messenger's text. She didn't have the time to reply. Clarke plugged in her charger to her phone and literally run towards the bathroom, she almost tripped on doing so, but she thanked the gods she didn't. Clarke finished her bath and dressing herself fresh clothes in fifteen minutes and that must be a new record. She got her phone and charger and put it in her backpack. Clarke run down on the stairs. Clarke saw her mom in the kitchen, there's food on the table. She'll be a rude daughter if she won't eat, but she's so late!
Clarke walked towards Abby and gave her mother a peck on the cheeks. Clarke reached out for an apple in the bowl in the middle of the table. She looked at her mother and has that warning look. "Mom, I'm late I don't have time to eat."
"Clarke Griffin…" Abby warned her daughter, she doesn't care if she's late because after all it's Clarke's fault to wake up late.
"Mom…" Clarke frowned at her mother. She doesn't need this treatment right now. "I promise, I'll eat at school." Clarke tapped her fingers on the table. Every seconds counts at the moment.
Abby looked at her daughter and nodded. "Stop destroying you alarm clock." Clarke laughed at her mother and gave her a hug.
"See you tomorrow mom and good luck saving lives at the ark." Clarke broke the hug and Abby kissed her temple. Clarke went out of their house, sighing, she know her mother is never been home at night because of being a doctor. Abby had been like 'a hectic doctor saving everyone lives' since Jake Griffin died. Clarke shook her head and started her journey to her school. Clarke stuffed the apple in her backpack. She doesn't have the vibe to eat an apple at the moment.
Clarke got in a bus and sat down on an empty sit near the door of the bus so she could get out fast. She reached out for her phone in her bag. She saw Raven texted her so does Octavia, but there is no one in particular she wanted. She opened Octavia's text first.
Coolest Blake: You're so late again Griffin!
Rae-Mechanic: Get your slow ass in here!
Clarke literally rolled her eyes. She opened their group message and she replied in there.
Clarke: I woke up late! Can you blame me?
Rae-Mechanic: Awe! Still hurtled by her break up? Yes, I blame you for being stupid.
Coolest Blake: Raven! Don't be so mean.
Clarke cringed on Raven's message and relieved by Octavia's, but then another buzz on her phone.
Coolest Blake: Raven's right you're stupid.
Rae-Mechanic: I just high fived Octavia beside me.
Clarke: I hate both of you.
Rae-Mechanic: You love us. You just can't admit we're always right.
Coolest Blake: But seriously Clarke, we're here for you. Just get your ass in here.
Rae-Mechanic: O's right we are here for you and its Finn's lost for being an asshole and breaking up with you. You deserve better.
Coolest Blake: We're plotting something right now Griffin.
Clarke: You both are such a nerd. DON'T start without me bitches!
Rae-Mechanic: Sorry Princess, it's your lost.
Coolest Blake: RAVEN DON'T CALL HER THAT!
Rae-Mechanic: Oh shit! Sorry Clarke!
Clarke: No worries, it didn't affect me at all. See you both at school, I'm on my way.
True, Clarke didn't even felt something by that nickname. She doesn't care anymore if someone call her that at all. Her best friends didn't replied and she's fine by it. The bell in Grounders campus will ring on at exactly 8:30 and she has twenty eight minutes left. Clarke typed another text, not for her friends, but to the anonymous person.
Clarke: I'm so damn late.
Clarke waited for minutes until a buzz came.
Commander: Who's to blame with that?
Clarke: My annoying alarm clock.
Commander: It seems like you had a quarrel with your clock.
Clarke: Yeah, I threw across my room. I don't think my mom will buy me another one.
Commander: That's unfortunate to your precious friend, don't be savage.
Clarke: Too late stranger, it's destroyed.
Commander: Anyway, how are you since last night?
Clarke was hesitant to reply back to the anonymous person, a buzz came.
Commander: Sorry if being straight to the point. Just checking out a friend, you know?
She must totally noticed Clarke's hesitation by that.
Clarke: No, it's actually fine. My friends already plotting a death plan to him though. You should join the gang if you show yourself first.
Commander: I wish I could join in, but maybe in the other time.
Of course she won't agree with Clarke. The anonymous person doesn't need to be an anonymous person if she wanted to be found, what is the whole point, right?
Clarke: You're such a bummer commander!
Commander: I am not, just not ready.
Clarke: Will I ever see you though?
Commander: Maybe, we'll see in the future. I got to go now, I have a class in five minutes. Safe journey to your way.
Clarke: I'll hold onto that, commander. Good luck to your class.
That is the end of their conversation. The bus stopped in front of the Grounders High. She's thankful that there are buses that exactly stopping in front of her school. Clarke gathered her backpack and hanged it on her right shoulder. When she got out of the bus, she can immediately see Raven leaning on a wall, one foot on the ground and on the wall. Octavia's arms crossed looking at her, shaking her head.
"And finally Clarke Griffin blessed us with her appearance." Raven quipped and jumped in front of Clarke.
"Shut up Reyes!" Clarke and punched Raven on the shoulder.
"Someone's bitchy." Octavia joked, and a punch on her shoulder came too.
"Break up changed you Clarke." Raven said while rubbing her shoulder.
"Yeah, Raven's right!" Octavia interjected and threw a light punch on Clarke's shoulder.
"Nah, I did not changed. I actually feel awesome." Clarke replied enthusiastically because truth be told, she really does feel awesome. It's like a weight on her shoulder got out and it's because Finn is no longer her boyfriend. She should thank Finn someday, but not now.
"That's my girl!" Raven hooked her arms in Clarke's left arm.
"I'm actually proud you Griffin…" Octavia did Raven's action on Clarke's other side. "And we are late bitches." Octavia said and started dragging her friends.
"Damn it Blake!" Raven protested as Clarke tightened her hold on Raven's shoulder, now they are being dragged into the campus by Octavia. The three women laughed at their antics, this is what friendship is, moving on to something and laughed it all away.
No words were exchanged by the three women, they untangled each other's arms away from each other because that is just too childish. Octavia, who's in the front of Clarke and Raven stopped, Clarke didn't noticed Octavia stopped and she bumped on the girl's back and as Raven bumped on hers. "Watch it Blake!" Raven hissed at the back.
"What the hell Octavia!" Clarke groaned in pain because Raven's head had a contact on hers.
"Shut the fuck up!" Octavia hissed not looking at her friends. Clarke and Raven cringed at Octavia's tone and followed her sight. When Raven's eyes laid on the people Octavia's looking her blood boiled. It's Finn with some slut girl. Finn's left arms literally leaned on a wall while the girl is pinned on the wall. They are not doing anything that can make your eyes red. It is obvious Finn is flirting with the girl. Finn chewed the gum in his mouth, it's not even attractive it made him like a goat. He leaned on to the girl's ears and whispered something that made the girl giggled. This is not a free show.
"Do you guys want to be late than ever? Ms. Moore won't be too pleased with us Raven." Clarke eyed her friends who are in shocked because Clarke didn't even react to Finn's doing with the girl.
Octavia turned to face Raven and raised her brow. Octavia checked on her watch. "Damn it! I'm late, I'll see you bitches later. Raven…" Octavia gave Clarke a glare and returned her gaze to Raven telling she do her job with Clarke. Raven nodded at Octavia who run away from them to go to her own class.
"You both are creeping me out." Clarke said.
"YOU are creeping us out. Spill it out Griffin." Raven crossed her arms and looked at Clarke intently.
"What? Is a woman don't have the chance to move on?" Clarke shrugged her shoulder and start walking towards their first class. She has the same first class with Raven, which is English. In the other hand Octavia has History.
Raven rolled her eyes, typical Reyes. She followed Clarke and they didn't noticed a flash of brunette with green orbs looking at them. A flash of someone walking away made Clarke turned around but saw nothing. Clarke shook her head by her imagination, she's totally hallucinating. "Moving on is a process Griffin, how'd you do that?" Raven asked and opened the door for both of them.
Clarke went in first and they both thanked god that Ms. Moore is still not there. The duo went to the back part of the room as usual. When they sat down Raven turned her attention to Clarke, literally still waiting for her answer. "It just did." Clarke said with a smile.
"You're really weird today Clarke. Does your mom know about your break up?" Raven asked curiously because Abby actually never known about Clarke's life.
"Nope, how could she know if she's always home in the morning." Clarke said and that fact made her sad because she can't recall a moment where Abby had been there for her in the past years. Sure Abby had been there for her but not in this kind of situation where she will hold Clarke while the blonde telling her mother about her break up or something else.
"I'm sorry." Raven's eyes averted from Clarke's because she know Clarke and Abby's situation.
Clarke rested her hand on Raven's shoulder. "It's fine and what Finn was doing back there with the stupid girl, it was all nothing. So tell Octavia she can calm now." Clarke retrieved her hand away from Raven when Ms. Moore walked in.
"Sorry class, I'm late. I had to attend some errands back in the office campus." Ms. Moore said as she flipped the book open.
"Just talk to both Octavia and I. We are here for you, you know that Clarke right?" Raven whispered to Clarke as she faked doing something on her own book.
"Turn your books on page 147." Ms. Moore ordered her class who did what exactly she said.
"I know Raven and I'm really grateful by that." Clarke whispered back.
Ms. Moore started walking around the room. Raven covered her face with her hand. "If you want, I'll revenge you to Finn." Raven offered and Clarke didn't even had the chance to reply.
"Ms. Reyes and Ms. Griffin, would you mind sharing to the class what both of you are talking about?" Ms. Moore asked as the whole class burst in laughter.
Raven slowly raised her head and looked at Ms. Moore. Clarke looked at Raven and shook her head. Clarke noticed the predator look in Raven's eyes and no one can passed that look. True, Ms. Moore is like in twenties and a good looking woman with those piercing hazel eyes and gorgeous brown hair. "Ms. Griffin in here and I are just catching up, Ms. Moore. I apologize to our actions of discipline to your class, particularly to you." Raven pursed her lips and let her tongue out and wet her lips, looking directly to Ms. Moore. Clarke kicked Raven's feet under their sit and a smirk came out of Raven's mouth.
Ms. Moore brows rose towards Raven and cleared her throat, a little agitated by her Raven's antics. "Just keep it down next time and make sure I won't noticed you both." Ms. Moore gave Clarke a glare and she left a semi wink on Raven. Ms. Moore turned around from them and went back to her table.
"Did she just semi winked on you Reyes?" Clarke asked in a very low voice.
"What can I say Griffin?" Raven smirked to Clarke who shook her head. Clarke gave Raven a low five under their table.
The day went well to the three of them. Clarke, Raven, and Octavia gathered around the cafeteria and Octavia and Raven asked Clarke if she wanted a revenge on Finn. Clarke was really amazed by her friends because they can totally do it, but she said no to be not in a circle of drama. When their classes ended the three of them gathered outside of the facility of the Grounder High. Clarke bid farewell to both Raven and Octavia. The two gave Clarke their love and made Clarke promised to talk to them whenever she wanted. Another reason why she loves Raven and Octavia, they are just so caring to her and all. Clarke does appreciate both of them.
Clarke hopped on a bus and sat down to her usual side in any other buses around. Clarke put her backpack on her legs thought about her day. Her mom as usual always coming home in the morning, her friends being the best, seeing Finn with another girl, Raven flirting with Ms. Moore. It made Clarke cringed with that last. She's missing something, something that since earlier she still haven't got in touched to. Suddenly her trance was broke by a buzz in her phone. Then when she saw a message from commander, ah, that's what she's missing. The unknown number, how could she forgot.
Commander: Hey Clarke, hope you'll have a safe journey home. Sorry if I haven't got in touch with you earlier, classes have been hectic.
Wait, what? How could the unknown number know she's going home? Clarke should be creeped out by it, because actually she is. Is she stalking me? Clarke thought.
Clarke: Are you stalking me?
Commander: I told you, I am good at guessing.
Clarke: No, that can't be right. Seriously, do you know me?
Commander: Yes, I do know you, you're Clarke.
Clarke: Of course you know my name! I mean how you knew I'm going home.
Commander: I guessed?
Clarke frowned at the reply of the unknown number. Clarke knew this would happen, the questioning and weird answers. But should she pry in? or just let it slide because she really enjoyed the company of this anonymous.
Clarke: I don't believe you, but maybe someday I will know you.
Commander: Maybe someday. How was your day?
Clarke: I'll hold onto that. Usual, I saw my friends and go to my classes.
Commander: Not that usual Clarke.
Clarke: Oh, what are you now, demanding me to tell you what happened to me today.
Commander: Then what's the point of me having a screen name of 'commander' in your phone if I can't make you tell me?
Clarke: Fair point. We saw Finn with another girl on the campus earlier.
Commander: How'd you feel then?
Clarke: Like it was nothing? Can I say that? My friends thought I'm creepy or crazy by moving on that fast because we literally just broke up yesterday.
Commander: There's nothing wrong with moving on.
Clarke: That's what I told my friends too! Show me your gorgeous face for once!
Clarke panicked, oh crap, did she just said that? Is she flirting with the stranger? Clarke just pray to the gods as small three dots on her phone is evident, which means the unknown number is typing, until a buzz came.
Commander: We'll definitely get along with one another. Patience is a virtue, they said ;)
Did she just flirted back at me with that emoji? Clarke thought. A smile creeped on her features and the bus stopped. She saw it's her final destination. She got out of the bus and started walking while typing a reply.
Clarke: We will, if you somehow meet me. I assure you, I am a good person… and I totally not have a lot of patience.
Commander: I know you are a good person and I say once again, patience.
Clarke: You are a dork.
Clarke reached their house. She unlocked it with her own key, emptiness in the house is prominent. She sighed because as usual her mom is not there. She misses her pass life where they were a family and happy. She sometimes wished her father didn't left them early and maybe by that the three of them are still happy and smile on their faces won't ever be erase. Clarke went to the kitchen and made herself a food. When she's finished by making it she made her way to her room to eat there all by herself. Thank gods because there are no home works. Clarke played music at the back ground and continued texting the unknown number.
In this kind of situation this what she needed, someone's company. She's thankful to have that by the anonymous even Clarke doesn't know her, but like commander said, patience is a virtue. The night went smooth, they talked about some stuffs that both them is the only one who knew. The anonymous shared some of her stories and some characteristics of hers. The unknown number told Clarke she has a brunette hair and a pair of green orbs. Clarke was amazed by the anonymous' hobby because commander told Clarke she likes adventure, like being in the wilderness. The rest of the night consisted of many more stories and some of it is about Clarke's friends and Clarke also told about commander her mom. Clarke usually doesn't talk about her mom with someone but the unknown number is just something else.
When the pair felt the exhaustion in them, around midnight, they both bid a farewell to each other. Clarke told commander that she'll talk to her tomorrow and the unknown number were looking forward to it. Clarke slept with a smile on her face, totally forgetting about what have happened in her life. Just knowing she's happy and there are people who care for her is all that matters, because that's all she wanted, a small attention from them.
As the unknown number said, patience is a virtue. We will get her POV in the (I don't know) upcoming chapters. Is Clarke's POV being too overrated?
Tell me what your insight to this chapter. I'll try to update as soon as possible as I can because I just actually finished writing this chapter ealier. Leave me anything, review, favorite, follow, or a pm, it would motivate me to continue :)
