Clarke's POV

The next morning, the sound of my alarm woke me up. All Raven did was grunt as she rolled back in bed. I got up, picked up some clothes for my first day of class and made sure Raven would wake up with the smell of coffee as I started our coffee maker. I headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. I blow-dried my hair and brushed my teeth before heading out with a coffee, a croissant and a few fruits.

As I opened the door I told my best friend, "Hey sleepy head, better wake up soon you have class in an hour! See you for lunch! "

As I walked towards the elevator I scrolled through Instagram on my phone and my head shot up hearing a voice I wouldn't forget so soon. She was standing there in black jeans, a red t-shirt and a black leather coat. Her back was facing me and I got to admire the intricate braids in her hair. She was talking to another girl who looked beautiful too. She had blond hair she left loose, a sharp jawline like Lexa's and was in fact a bit intimidating.

"Anya, I already told you I don't have time to grab lunch with you today I want to go sign up for the soccer team between my two classes. We'll see each other for dinner anyway."

"I didn't know you play soccer, " I said as I reached her.

She turned and we smiled to each other.

"Hey, good morning! How are you? "

"Good, I nearly finished to unpack yesterday. What about you? " I questioned.

"I'm good too. We finished everything last night so we'd be able to relax today after class."

The girl standing behind Lexa put a hand on her shoulder saying, "Lexa, is that one of the girls you met yesterday? "

"Oh yes, this is Clarke. I met her and her friends yesterday, " she turned to me saying "this is Anya, my cousin I told you about. "

"Nice to meet you, " I said.

We engaged in small talk as the elevator reached our floor and Anya left towards the language pavilion as Lexa and I went towards ours in the other direction.

"You didn't text me last night, so I still don't have your number. That's a bit unfair considering you can join me whenever you want and I can't, " I said as I winked at her.

"Oh, yeah I got caught up with all the unpacking and when Anya came home we got into a conversation. It was late by the time and I didn't want to text you and wake you up, " she said a bit shyly.

"I wouldn't have minded, but thanks, I really was exhausted and could get the sleep before my first day of class. "

"You're welcome. I'm headed that way, " she said pointing to the social sciences pavilion, "I'll text you later? "

"Sounds like a plan, " I smiled and waved as she did the same, "good luck for your classes! "

At that moment, all I could think about was "why am I not studying law? " I was officially desperate when it came to Lexa.

My first class was Biology and I was counting the minutes left before the class would end. The teacher was awful. Professor Pike was a complete hardass, wanting nothing but perfection. He was arrogant and after 3 hours I already couldn't stand him. When I finally got to leave after 4 hours of ordeal, I took my phone out of my bag to see texts from Octavia who seemingly had met a guy in her class. After answering her text, we met at a picnic table in front of the science pavilion, where I just had my class.

"Hey Clarkey, how are you? "

"Okay I guess, I already hate my teacher in biology class. But hum… I saw Lexa this morning, " I smiled.

"Great! Did you talk? "

"Of course we did! What? Do you think I would see her and run away? " Hearing nothing from her I shot her a glare and continued, "I saw her and her cousin as they were waiting for the elevator. We talked for a while and walked until we had to go our separate ways."

Octavia smiled and nudged my elbow saying, "See, it makes you happy to talk to her. Why stop? "

"You're right. So, tell me more about that guy you met. " I said as I took a bite of the panini I bought on my way there.

Lexa's POV

I got into the TonDC sport pavilion and walked toward the soccer department. I played soccer since I was 5 years old and excelled at it. I had been recruited by a few universities last year: U of Virginia, Stanford and Boston U, but I really wanted to go to TonDC U, so I had to turn down the scholarships. I was determined to get into Ton DC's team and that's why I trained all summer and was right now headed to the head coach's office. I knocked on her door and entered as I heard her telling me to come in.

It didn't take much convincing before she told me I'd get a chance to prove myself at practice tomorrow after class. I left her office pretty confident as I texted Anya about it. I then remembered I still hadn't texted Clarke because I simply didn't know what to say. So, I opted for a simple text:

5:30pm – Lexa: Hey, it's Lexa. How was your first day?

5:35pm – Clarke: Not bad, wbu? Did you get to talk to someone for the soccer team?

5:35pm – Lexa: Yeah, I spoke to the head coach. I'm going to tryouts tomorrow at 7.

5:36pm – Clarke: That's great! Wish you luck ;)

After a while, my cellphone buzzed again.

5:40pm – Clarke: Hey are you and Anya doing anything tonight?

5:41pm – Lexa: I don't think so. We were planning on binge watching a show on Netflix.

5:43pm – Clarke: Well, my friends and I are having movie night in my dorm room, you guys can join if you want?

I was feeling like a teenage girl talking to her crush right now. If Anya would've been here she certainly would've made fun of me. I calmed a bit down before answering.

5:46pm – Lexa: Sounds nice, I'll talk to Anya about it. Do we need to bring anything?

5:47pm – Clarke: Just your beautiful ass ;)

I gasped, surprised at the text I just got from Clarke.

5:47pm – Clarke: Omg, sorry, that was Raven… Maybe I'll see you later if she didn't just freak you out

5:48pm – Lexa: Don't worry, she didn't. It's most likely that we'll be there.

I laughed thinking about Raven's inexistent shyness. I got to my dorm room and smelled the fresh hot cinnamon buns Anya brought back from the café next to the dorms.

"Anya, I love you! " I said as I took a bite of the fresh pastry.

"Tell me something I don't know already, " she joked.

I took another bite before asking her, "Hey, Clarke invited us to a movie night in her room with a few friends, " with pleading eyes I added, "Would you please come with me? "

"So, the almighty Commander doesn't want to go hangout with her crush without her beloved cousin by her side? " she teased.

"An, can't you be serious for a second? I'm freaking out inside, I don't want to screw up!"

"Okay, okay, I'll come. Clarke's friends better be nice. "

"Thank you An! " I shouted as I tackled her onto her bed in a fierce hug.

Clarke's POV

"Raven I swear to god I'll kill you if you send her that text! " I shouted as we fought on the ground of our shared room for my cellphone.

"Oops, sent!" she said as she faked being sorry.

"Raven, if she doesn't answer because you freaked her out I swear I will make your life a living hell, " I retorted as I texted a quick apology.

She knew my threat wasn't likely to last more than a day so she shot back, "No you won't, you love me. "

My phone buzzed.

"You are so lucky she didn't take that badly. " I glared at Raven.

She threw herself on me trying to hug me while I was pushing her away still a bit mad at her.

"Come on Clarkey, you love me! "

I surrendered, not being able to be mad against her for something as futile as a text.

My relationship with Raven was unusual. Octavia and I met Raven in sophomore year. She had almost blown up the science lab trying to do one of her crazy experiments, when we crossed her being scolded by our principal and science teacher. She had been in our school for a week, and was already in trouble. O and I decided to step in and defend her which granted us three a detention after school. We spent our time in detention laughing and getting to know her. She came eat lunch with us and our other friends the next days, but a week later, she just came to me and started yelling at me because I was supposedly dating her boyfriend. Turns out, I wasn't dating Finn, well not yet… Raven, O and I grew closer to each other during that year, and during summer break, Finn moved in town. O and I met him and that's when "shit went down" as Raven says whenever she referred to that moment of our lives. Raven was living with her uncle, Sinclair, since her mother abandoned her when she was about 5 years old. She never knew her father and the only family she had aside from Sinclair was her childhood friend, Finn, who had become her boyfriend. Although, when he moved that summer, he fell in love with me and I did too. After trying to avoid our feelings, Finn told Raven who actually didn't take it that bad if you forget the initial burst of anger she had towards him. A few months later, he and I were together and Raven eventually started dating Wick, another science nerd of our school. We were together for two years when the accident happened. When Finn died, Raven and I got even closer if that's possible. We were both grieving the boy we loved and bonded through those hard times.

Coming back from my deep thoughts I answered, "You know I do love you Rae, " I backed up a bit to look at her as I added, "Doesn't mean you're not a pain in the ass though…"

She lightly slapped me on the arm as she laughed.

"Come on, let's get this place ready for movie night," she said.

We put my mattress on the floor with a bunch of pillows and blankets in front of Raven's bed and settled the TV in a strategic place so that everyone could see it. Octavia soon came in with enough popcorn for an army and then Bellamy got here with his roommate.

"Hey girls! I brought Lincoln with me, he's been my roommate since last year," Bell said.

The tall, tanned, muscular and handsome guy entered the room. I tried to exchange a look of appreciation with Octavia but her eyes were glued on Lincoln. I actually think they both fell in love on the spot. I turned to Raven who gave me knowing look. Knowing how protective Bellamy could be towards his sister, we asked him about his first day of class as we settled on Raven's bed and engaged into small talk. Monty, our other nerdy friend, was the next one to come in. He told us Jasper couldn't make it tonight, but pulled out of his bag his famous Moonshine which turned up the mood. Raven and I decided to wait a bit before starting a movie hoping Lexa and Anya would show up soon.

Lexa's POV

I was absolutely stressed out. Why did I accept to go to that movie night? I do know why; to see Clarke. But right now, minutes before knocking on her door, I felt like this was the worst idea ever.

"Lexa, how many times do I have to remind you to calm down today? " asked Anya a bit annoyed.

She knew why I was so nervous; I wasn't used to make friends, even less used to having a crush whom I'd hangout with.

"Everything will be fine, you already met a few of her friends. I don't think there will be much more. The dorm rooms are big, but they can hold ten at top. You don't have to worry, " she reassured me.

"Okay, let's go before I start freaking out again. "

We walked to Clarke's room our arms full of chip bags and drinks. Anya knocked on the door and Clarke welcomed us with her usual bright smile.

"Guys, this is Anya, Lexa's cousin, " she introduced as we came in the room.

"Lincoln? " Anya and I said surprised.

"You guys know each other? " Clarke asked.

"Yeah, Lincoln is my step-brother, " Anya answered, "Hey Bellamy! Why are you here too?"

"Well, Octavia right here is my sister and we practically lived with Clarke for most of our lives. So, obviously, I was invited to movie night and I asked Linc if he'd tag along, " he smiled, "I'm glad to see you again, " he added as he got up to give her a short hug.

"Lexa, nice to see you again, " he smirked.

"Same here, Romeo, "I joked.

Anya looked at the both of us questioningly and Bellamy started to explain how the nickname came out yesterday as I got to Lincoln to say him hi.

As I went to help Clarke out with the drinks, Raven intercepted me, "Lexa, yesterday you didn't mention something very important, " She said seriously.

"And what is that? " I asked a bit worried.

"That you have incredible genes in your family meaning that your cousin is an absolute goddess! "

I laughed and spotted Anya looking in our direction, but her eyes weren't on me, they were on Raven who was rather good looking tonight in her comfy clothes; sweat shorts and a fit AC/DC t-shirt.

And so, I told her, "by the looks of it, maybe you have a chance with her. Please go loosen up my cousin, I know she can look stuck up sometimes, but deep down, she's a softie. "

Clarke joined me and handed me a glass of what they called "Coke and Moonshine" as she told everyone to settle down so we could start the movie. Bellamy, Lincoln, Octavia and Monty were on Raven's bed while Anya, Raven, Clarke and I sat on the blonde's bed. We started off with a comedy "The Heat" featuring Sandra Bullock and Mellissa McCarthy which was pretty good and didn't fail to make us laugh. Before we started the next movie, we took a break and talked for a while.

"So, soccer tomorrow? " Clarke asked.

"Yeah, I can't wait! I really hope I'll get in the team. "

"Anya told me how good you are. You got offers for scholarships and turned them all down, even Stanford? " She looked shocked by my decision.

"I did, I really wanted to go to TonDC U, " I simply said.

"But why? Stanford has a great law program! "

"Well if I had chosen Stanford, I wouldn't have gotten to meet you," I said before even realizing it. As soon as I did, I blushed and my panicked sight met her blue eyes that were only showing softness.

"Hey Commander! " shot Lincoln tearing me out of the slightly embarrassing moment, "would you get me that pack of Twizzlers please? "

I reached for the bag a few feet away as Bellamy and Anya started arguing over what genre of movie we should watch next. Finally, we came to choose horror movies, mine and Anya's personal favorite. Although, Bellamy and Clarke who disliked this genre insisted on choosing the movie we'd be watching, which ended up to be Insidious2. Sitting next to Clarke, I quickly saw that she didn't like horror movies at all. She was always hiding behind a blanket, screaming at the slightest surprise and was constantly nervous. At some point, she subconsciously grabbed my arm in fear and as she was about to let go, I took her hand in mine giving her an understanding look. My heart was pounding in my chest from being so close to this beautiful girl and all I could do was hope she didn't notice because there was nothing I could do about it. Feeling her clutched to my arm in fear, and then just holding it as she calmed down; that feeling alone made my heart grow in affection for the blonde. When the movie ended, Bellamy, Lincoln, Monty and Octavia went back to their rooms leaving Anya and I with Raven and Clarke.

"So, has anyone noticed how Lincoln and O had eyes only for each other? " Clarke asked.

"We did, " I said looking at Anya, "Linc's a good guy. I'm sure they'd be great together."

"Yeah, they'd make a nice couple" confirmed Raven.

"Thanks for the night girls! I'll head back to my room now, I have classes at 8 tomorrow. Lex, I'll leave the door unlocked for you so you can come back later, " she waved goodbye as she walked through the door not letting me place a word. She obviously wanted to force me to open up and talk to Clarke. Raven lied down on her bed while Clarke and I stayed on hers sitting as close as before, even though there was no need for us to be since we weren't squeezing to fit in with other people like earlier. I was happy to see she didn't scoot away as we started the movie.

Clarke's POV

We were about an hour into the third movie when I heard a soft snoring coming from behind us. Raven had fallen asleep, and I couldn't blame her because the movie was pretty bad.

"That movie's a bit boring, if you want to stop watching it I can put on something else? " I asked.

"You can leave it on, although I'd like to now a bit more about you… Who are you Clarke Griffin? " she smiled.

"There's not much to say really…"

"I don't buy that. Spill, don't you have passions, interests, friends I don't know about yet, dreams? " she questioned.

"Well, I kind of have a passion for art. I draw and paint, not as much as I used to, but I still do sometimes. As for my friends, you met most of them but there's Jasper who couldn't come tonight, then there's Monty's soon to be girlfriend, Harper, and Miller. I also have a close friend, Wells, who's studying in New York. That's about it…"

"How did you meet Raven and Octavia, you seem really close to them? "

I then started explaining how Bellamy and Octavia became family to me and how we met Raven. Obviously, I omitted the tale of my father's and Finn's deaths not feeling to talk about it as always. Thankfully, she didn't ask anything about my father as I told her how Kane and my mother started dating. All she did was listen intently looking honestly interested.

"So, yeah, we really hold onto each other. We really are family, we'd do anything for each other… " I trailed off and then added, "What about you? "

"That's a story for our lunch later this week, " I said slightly smirking.

"About that, what do you say about Wednesday so you can tell me all about how you impressed your coach at soccer tryouts? " I asked a bit nervously.

"Sounds great, "she said smiling, "I should go now, I've got class tomorrow and it's almost 1am. Thanks for the movie night, I had fun. "

"You're welcome, " I smiled, "this could become a regular thing if everyone's in. "

The brunette got to the door, turned the knob and commented, "I definitely am. Good night Clarke."

"Good night Lexa. "

I put my mattress back in it's place and cleaned up a bit before going to bed. As I drifted off to sleep, all I could think of were the beautiful green eyes of a girl who was more intriguing than I would've imagined.
