I don't own anything. Just writing for fun. :)

Clarke's life was perfect, and she hated it. Her entire family had went to Yale, which according to her mother that meant that Clarke's fate was to join in the family legacy and become the one thing she detested. A doctor.

Not that she hated any doctor. She absolutely loved them. That is all she had grown up with. That is how she even met one of her longtime friends, Well Jaha. His father and her mother had been doctor friends, so it was only naturally they be friends too. Clarke even felt along with nurses, it was one of the most important jobs that anyone could have.

Being a doctor was not her hopes and dreams though. She wanted to pursue something to do with Art. Would she ever tell her mother that? Of course not. She was like a pretty little doll that her mother twisted and warped into her own image, but Clarke had let her.

Clarke pushed her long blonde hair behind her eyes and tried to concentrate on studying in her Dissector of the Human Body book. Finals were coming up soon, plus helping her best friend Raven Reyes plan for her wedding had her almost at a midlife crisis.

She had been flattered when Raven had asked her to be the maid of honor. Clarke just didn't realize everything that had come with it.

A knock on her dorm door drew her out of her thoughts. She placed the book on the desk and made her way towards the door. Opening it she found Jasper Jordan giving her a sly smirk, placing his hand on the doorframe.

Clarke couldn't help it, she smiled and let out a small laugh. "Do you think you're trying to be sexy- or something?" Jasper's smirk slipped off his face. "So when I knock on Maya's door, I shouldn't do that?" She shook her head at him, "No Jasper. If you care about her at all, please don't do that."

Jasper had been trying to ask a pretty sophomore named Maya out, since he had discovered her two months beforehand.

She let Jasper in, and made herself comfortable on the bed while he sat at her desk. He shook his head at the cluttered mess, "Clarke you're going to have to take a break at some point. I'm shocked your head hasn't exploded yet."

"I know Jasper, but I have finals in three days." Clarke dramatically threw herself back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. She didn't see Jasper shake his head, "Well, I know you have been wanting to go to Benders lately. Maybe they will have something there this week, something that you haven't read."

Clarke threw him a quick smile. Jasper Jordan always knew the right thing to say, even though it was odd that he had mentioned Benders. She didn't question him about it, but placed a green beanie on her head and slipped into her Woolrich Jacket, and Franco Sarto Lizbeth boots before following him out the door.

"So, Miss Griffin what do you think you are going to buy today?" Jasper asked her through a group of people walking down the busy street. Clarke shrugged her shoulders, "Honestly I don't know yet. I think I'm going to read something different though."

As they made their way into the book shop, Clarke stopped Jasper by placing her hand on his chest. "I knew there was a reason you, of all people wanted to come to Benders! You knew Maya worked here, didn't you?"

Jasper's cheeks flushed red, and Clarke gave him a wide smile before her eyes flashed back behind the register counter.

Maya was there in that god awful red apron, reading through some magazine. "Please Clarke, no… I mean yes. I did know she worked here. Please- please don't say anything though." Jasper pleaded with her.

"Okay, Jasper. I'll try not to." Clarke ran off before he could say anything to prevent her from doing otherwise. She ran to what everyone would considered the "dirty" section before randomly picking out a book.

She didn't even have a chance to glance at it before Jasper found her. "Clarke- what are you doing?" She threw him a sweet smile, "Oh nothing…. I wanted to see if they had the new Michael Hall book. This isn't the right place for it though. Help me find it?"

Jasper raised his eyebrow before shrugging his shoulders. They quickly found the book she wanted and proceeded to the check out. Clarke could tell Jasper was getting nervous. He kept mumbling under his breath and biting at his lip.

"Jasper, stop." She quietly scolded him. When they reached Maya, the brunette gave them a friendly smile. "Did you guys find everything you need?" Clarke glanced up at Jasper, waiting for his response.

After he placed a goofy looking smile on his face, Clarke felt she had to intervene, "Yes, Maya we did. Hey, don't we go to school together?"

Maya seemed confused for a moment, "I don't know, do we?" Before Clarke could reply Maya had scanned Clarke's book and the registered had beeped interrupting the conversation.

Three sets of eyes looked up and read on the screen, 'The Little Black Book of Sexual Positions. Is Customer over 18?' Clarke wanted to laugh, Jasper looked like he was going to throw up, and Maya just kept looking between the two.

"Can I see your ID please?" Maya asked Clarke with a red tint to her cheeks. Clarke reached into her bag pulling out her wallet and flashing her ID.

Clarke felt as if her job was done. Jasper had only used her as an excuse to see Maya, so a little embarrassment wouldn't hurt him. Hell, maybe this would be the only way Maya would ever communicate with him.

After the awkward moment, Maya didn't say anything as Clarke paid for the books then they quickly had left the book shop. Jasper all the while stayed silent. Clarke kept switching the books back and forth between her arms, and looking over at Jasper waiting for him to say something.

They continued to walk before Clarke couldn't take the dreadful silent treatment anymore. "That was just a joke Jasper. At least Maya will remember who you are now. Lighten up."

Jasper stopped and glared down at her, "Clarke… I really like her, and now she thinks that we have something going on. I just- I don't know how to approach her now." Clarke began to laugh, "Look Jasper, I'm sorry. I really am."

He didn't bother looking at her, "I'm gonna go meet up with Monty. I'll see you later." Jasper took off in the opposite direction, never looking back at her.

Clarke felt her shoulders drop, and immediately felt guilty. She turned to head back down to the school but was almost knocked down by a person walking full force into her. "Ah shit!" Clarke yelled out, as the books slipped from her arms on the cold sidewalk.

Clarke huffed in annoyance, this was just great. "What the hell? Do you just go running into everyone?" a deep voice yelled out at her. She raised her head up and looked at the man who had ran into her. He was cute, she would give him that, with dark hair and eyes. The man didn't even look at her, and was busy searching for something of his own.

"Actually, it was you who ran into me!" she snapped right back at him, and before she could help herself she mumbled "Asshole" just to make herself feel better.

She didn't wait for his reaction only reaching down to find her books. She located her Michael Hall book, but before she could look around for the other she heard the man's deep voice again.

"The Little Black Book of Sexual Positions?" Clarke gasped and reached out grabbing the book before he could say anything else. "It's- Well… if you must know, this is- is a present for a friend!" she winched at how all the jumbled words fell out of her mouth. She felt like a total idiot.

Clarke took note as he stared at her, his eyes then trailed down her body. An unwanted shiver passed through her. She wanted to laugh because there was no way that she could be attracted to the asshole. For a moment it was almost as if they were in a staring contest.

The sound of a cell phone made Clarke jump, bringing her back to her senses. She watched as he silenced the cell phone then turned his attention back on her.

"Look Princess, I'm sorry I walked into you. Now my phone is cracked so I learned my lesson. Take care." Clarke's mouth dropped open as he passed her, he didn't look back once. The 'Princess' comment struck a nerve. So, he hadn't checked her out. He had judged her by what she was wearing.

"What a huge asshole." She whispered to no one. Maybe this was karma getting back at her for the stunt she had pulled on Jasper. She shook her head and watched the said asshole turn around the corner, and out of her sight.

Clarke flipped her hair behind her, and straightened the beanie on her head. She continued walking down the street, trying not to let the 'Princess' comment upset her more. All she wanted to do was get back to the dorm, wait for Jasper to return, and apologize a thousand more times.
