Chapter 5

"Ahh Uhm." Lexa was lost for words she didn't expect to find the girl from her dreams to be standing right in front of her and so soon. The girl didn't know what to say she just grabbed her bag and ran off she didn't even look back all the air from her lungs was escaping and she couldn't breath she stopped in the door way of the school building to catch her breath. Lexa heard move moments behind her so she took a quick look over her shoulder and relaxed. It wasn't her.

Lexa stood up right from her slouched position and adjusted her bag on her shoulder. The girl took in a deep breath and headed off to her chemistry lesson. Lexa really enjoyed Chemistry it was her favourite subject well when she says favourite she means the most tolerable.

The girl took her usual seat at the back of the class and got her notepad from her bag. The teacher was yet to arrive so Lexa started to sketch the brunette didn't know what to draw she just let her hand do the work and as her hand moved across the page a strange symbol appeared. Lexa didn't have a clue what it was but there was a strange word that played in her head as she looked at the symbol. 'Heda' what did it mean? Lexa was about to rip the page out when she felt a warm presence over her shoulder. Her breath hitched and she felt the heat rise in her chest.

"Hmm that's really good, what is it?" the warm presence asked, Lexa didn't even need to turn around to know who it was she felt her, the same tingly feeling across her skin every time she thought of the girl.

"I- I don't know." Lexa managed to get out. Before Clarke could reply the teacher walked into the room.

"Welcome back Clarke if you could take your seat that would be great and we could begin the lesson." Clarke moved from Lexa and sat next to the girl.

"We have a chemistry presentation coming up so you all need to have a partner. To make it easy and to avoid the hassle of finding a partner you will each work with person next to you. I don't want any objections you all will be assigned a different subject which you will have 2 weeks to prepare."

Lexa shook her head, this means she is forced to work with the blonde for the next two weeks on this stupid presentation and she has no choice. She sighed she could barely speak to her and that was with out making eye contact. Damn this is going to be hard. Lexa looked out the window hoping to avoid the girl asking questions.

"Sorry I was Day dreaming." The green eyed girl explained not turning to see the girl.

"No worries, Uhm we have our assignment. Do you want to see?" Lexa blinked a few times adjusting herself before looking at the beautiful girl next to her. Their eyes met and Lexa couldn't pull away to look at the sheet of paper in Clarkes hand. The blonde smiled and blushed under the girls look. The beauty that radiated from this blue eyed girl was unreal and Lexa felt her heart stop for a second and a breath caught in her throat. Goose bumps appeared all over her body and her hair on her arms stood up. Lucky for her she had a long sleeve shirt on.

Lexa quickly dismissed the situation and put on her mask. It was her defence the only way she could protect her self from getting hurt not that she remembers being hurt but it was a natural reaction for her to do this. Clarke caught her with her guard down and it surprised the brunette, the past month she did it so well refusing to let anyone in and then comes along Clarke and its down.

Lexa took the sheet from Clarkes hand and studied the words. "Explosive Chemistry?" Lexa rolled her eyes for real out of all the things this is it.

"I think its kind of cool, we could blow somethings up for our presentation and then its pretty much it for the practical side then all we have to do is the research side." Clarke smiled she was going to enjoy this, there was defiantly something about this girl and Clarke liked it.

"Okay sure." Lexa gave Clarke and quick look and then turned her page in the note book to write down what Mr Kane was saying. It was easier for her to do this so she didn't forget anything.

Clarke watched as the girl scribbled all over the page she didn't even have a pen she forgot to pack one this morning she remember everything else but that.

"Uhm do you have a spare pen I could borrow? I left mine at home." Lexa reached into her bag and pulled out another pen and handed it to the girl and continued writing she didn't even look at her. This really annoyed Clarke she craved those eyes but yet the girl wasn't even bothered by her presence. That was going to change Clarke thought to herself. She knew this girl and had a connection with her and she knew it wasn't one sided. It was going to be hard work getting past Lexa's cemented walls but she knew they would crack eventually. It would just take time.

The two girls sat in silence the rest of the lesson and the day was coming to an end, the bell rang and everyone began packing their things.

"We should arrange times and days when we could meet for the presentation?" Clarke asked hopefully, waiting for Lexa's response. She was putting her things into her bag.

"I don't care to be honest just let me know when your free and we can make a start." The brunette said swinging her bag onto her shoulder. Clarke rolled her eyes at the girls answer.

"Okay well tomorrow after school you could come to mine if you want and we can study there." The blonde put her hands into her pockets.

"Ok." That was it the girl walked away and that was that.

Maybe this was going to be harder then Clarke thought, she was getting nothing from this girl. Clarke met Raven and Octavia at the gate and they began their journey home.

"How was you first day back?" Octavia asked with excitement and Raven giggled.

"It was fine I guess." Raven sighed she knew there was something bothering her friend.

"What's up?" The girl asked putting her arm around Clarkes shoulder and she received a jealous look from Octavia but she shook it off.

"I met her today." The two girls looked at their friend she didn't seem to happy about that.

"Well how did it go, what happened?" O asked putting her hand on her friends shoulder.

"Okay I guess I mean I know we wasn't going to be best friends straight away but-" Clarke sighed.

"She was so closed off, I don't know why I have all these feelings but it can't just be me can it?"

"Clarke I'm sorry but what did you expect, the girl doesn't know you. Its going to take time. Your awesome okay and she will realise that and soon you will be good friends." Raven reassured her friend still ignoring the looks she was getting from Octavia.

"I hope so, I know I sound like a crazy person but I can't help it there's definitely a connection there." The two girls giggled.

"Are you sure its just a friendship you want Clarke." Raven nudged her friend laughing.

"Very funny." Clarke gave Raven a fake laugh.

"Maybe you two met in another world" Octavia smiled. "You both received head injuries you don't no what this world is capable of." Octavia laughed at what she just said it sounded silly but who knows. Raven giggled at her friends imagination and pulled her into a hug.

"Awh you dork." Raven laughed and Octavia tightened her grip around her friend she enjoyed their hugs a little more than she should. Clarke watched her two friends sharing an affectionate hug and Clarke smiled at Ravens earlier comment. Yeah right she laughed to herself. Are you sure its just a friendship you want Raven.

Raven released Octavia and the three girls continued their walk. They dropped Clarke off and then they walked back together, the blonde watched her two friends in the distance. As they walked their arms brushed against one another's there was definitely something going on between them Clarke thought to herself she smiled and opened the front door to the house using the keys her Mum gave her.

It was quiet.

"Mum?" Clarke called out but didn't receive a reply. The blond hung up her jacket and removed her boots. Clarke walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge to pull out a carton of orange juice and poured herself a drink.

She sighed and walked to the living room to watch TV she grabbed the remote and sat on the sofa. Clarke Couldn't find anything to watch so she decided to go on Netflix and choose a film. Its never ending the blonde sighed she came across a series called Lost girl which caught her attention. Two episodes in and Clarke was hooked, the girl heard the front door open.

"Clarke?" Addy called out putting her keys on the hook.

"In here Mum." Clarke paused the show.

"Hey so tell me, how was your first day?" Abby sat next to her daughter on the sofa.

"It was great and I really enjoyed it." The blonde smiled at her Mum it wasn't a lie but she didn't enjoy it that much.

"Awh that's good sweetie, did you get any homework?" Clarke rolled her eyes.

"No Mum I didn't but I have a chemistry presentation I have to work on with my partner so she will be coming over tomorrow to prepare." Clarke smiled at her Mum.

"Okay Honey, I will be home late tomorrow and I'm leaving early so I won't be here when you leave in the morning and I won't be home for dinner so I will leave some cash, you can get a pizza while working on your presentation with your friend."

"How come?" Clarke asked her Mum.

"Well I don't want you to starve Clarke." Abby laughed. "I'm joking I have a long day a head of me And a conference meeting after work." Abby sighed.

"Anyway I'm hungry are you hungry? I'm making pasta." Clarkes Mum smiled and walked off to the kitchen to make dinner.

The rest of the evening was quiet Clarke continued watching Lost girl after they ate dinner and Abby was on her laptop doing some work, it was getting late so Clarke went to bed. Laying in be bed the girl only had one thing on her mind and that was the girl she couldn't help but smile around. Clarke sighed she hoped they could work this out.

Lexa Laid awake it was 1:20 am she couldn't sleep todays events were playing on her mind. She couldn't believe she finally met the girl she couldn't stop thinking about she expected it to be a while before they met but here she was and she acted like a crazy person, Lexa sighed to herself.

The girl finally feel asleep still thinking of the blonde, her alarm would be ringing in 5 hours for school and she was going to avoid Clarke as much as she could tomorrow until they had to meet for the presentation. Clarke made her feel things and she didn't like it.
