Anyways, on with the story. The word count of this chapter is of: 1,474 It's written on Lexa's POV. Enjoy!
As soon as you close the door behind you you plunge into the couch and sigh. You are grinning like an idiot and you know it.
"So you met blondie, huh?" you hear a voice behind you and you almost immediately know who is it from.
"Blondie? How do you know her, Bellamy?"
Your response comes out almost like a low growl and your best friend lifts his hands in form of surrender.
"Calm down, Commander. I am no threat and I will not come between you and her, I assure you that. I just watched the whole ordeal from the window and let me say, you looked like a love-sick puppy, dude."
You punch him not-so-lightly and he laughs, but flinches as you threaten to hit him again.
"You sounded like such a creep right now, Bell. And do not calm me Commander, I thought we had agreed on something last time you referred to me like that."
"I know, I know. 'Do not call me Commander unless we are on the roll, yada yada yada'. You are getting really grumpy out of nowhere these days, ya know? Maybe you should get it on with blon-"
With only one glare he shushes and sinks into his seat beside you. You are about to say something but a ruckus upstairs stops you from it.
"I do not have a crush on him, Raven!" a girl shrieks out and you know it's Octavia
"Oh really? Then explain to me how come you started blurting random animal facts when he asked you for the time last week?"
'Oh man, this is gonna end real bad' you say to yourself as you sense Bellamy's anger surfacing
"Come on, dude. It's nothing. They must be talking about stupid stuff." you try to sound convincing but he sees right through your lie
As Raven and Octavia descend down the stare they continue bickering about Octavia's crush on one of your fellow grounders, as you like to call yourselves, Lincoln.
You can almost see Bellamy's veins popping out from his skin as he starts walking towards them.
"Well hello, little sister. What were you just discussing with Raven just a few seconds ago?"
The room falls into a complete silence and you hear yourself gulp
"It's none of your business, Bell. As you said, I was discussing it with Raven, not you. So shoo, scoot over and let me pass." Octavia says with a hint of genuine fear and you almost fear for her too as you watch Bellamy take a deep breath
You decide it is better to cut this off so you step in between both Blakes before things get messy, but still they don't stop staring at each other intensely.
"Guys, did you hear? We are gonna have the neighbors come over tonight!" Raven blurts out and both you and the Blakes stare at her until she lets out a soft 'That sounds exciting, right?'
You shake your head to get out of your trance and you mumble a soft 'Yeah, it sounds awesome' that is almost inaudible that makes Bellamy turn around and face you with a special glint in his eyes.
And in that moment, you know you are definitely and irrefutably screwed.
You mouth a 'Don't you fucking dare' towards him, but that only makes him grin even more.
"Oh, talking about crushes, guess who's got this big ass crush on the new girl..."
Raven and Octavia's faces go from neutral to surprised in just seconds and you almost cover your ears as you prepare for the worst.
"OH MY GOD, LEX! WHO IS SHE? WHAT'S HER NAME? IS SHE CUTE? DID YOU KISS HER? ARE YOU GONNA HAVE CHILDREN? HOW MANY? WHAT ABOUT THE NAMES? OH MY GOD LEX, TELL US EVERYTHING!" Octavia shrieks as she bounces up down around you and you shoot a murderous glance towards Bellamy
"Her name's Clarke and no, I didn't kiss her. We just talked for a couple minutes, that is all. I'm not gonna marry her or have kids with her, we have just met." you answer curtly as you shove your hands into you pockets
"Oh really, but I saw you get into her house and you stayed there for at least 20 minutes, Lexa." Bellamy says with a snicker and you feel the urge to punch him
"You are such a creep, brother! But you would be a good detective if we ever needed one, I guess." Octavia congratulates her brother with a pat on the back and he answers with a 'Yeah, sure'
Before anything else can happen, your mom saves you as she asks all of you to help with the food and get ready for dinner.
The following hours fly by as you have to run from one place to another, avoiding both Bellamy and Octavia as they try to get some more answers.
"What was she wearing, dude?"
"Is her house nice from the inside?"
"Did you meet her folks? That would have insane, man!"
"Oh my god, I bet you two would make a cute couple."
"Dude, I bet a hundred bucks that she'll ask you out before you do since you are such a chicken."
The questions and no answers game continues all afternoon and you thank God almighty when your mom dismisses you specifically to get ready for the dinner. The next question catches you off guard since it's from the one person that had been quiet all evening.
"So have you got the hots for her or no, Woods?" Raven inquires and you blush, there's the answer she was looking for
You fret about an hour or so over what you are going to wear.
You want to make an impression because she saw you in your skate clothes, so you have to make yourself look presentable.
You finally decide on a blue plaid shirt and dark blue jeans with some random vans since the door bell rang as you were deciding how to finish your outfit.
You take a deep breath as you prepare yourself to see her again, but nothing can prepare you for what happens next.
As you walk down the stairs you catch a glimpse of a light blue something at the edge of the door and you are sure you must have confused it with something else. But as she steps into your house in a beautiful summer dress that matches her eyes, you are pretty sure you swoon.
You are careful not to fall down the stairs as you follow her with your eyes, but you trip on the last step.
Bellamy snickers softly but is stopped by both Octavia and Raven with a pinch on bout arms. He rubs them with a frown on his face and you almost smile at the sight.
That's when she notices you and you swear your whole world gets brighter as she smiles at you.
"Hello, Ms. Griffin. Thank you for coming over." you hear yourself say and you surprise everyone, even yourself, at the calmness of it.
"Hello, Lexa. How is your arm doing?" she asks genuinely concerned and you sink yourself a little as you feel your mom glaring at you
"It's perfect, all thanks to you."
To that Abby softly laughs and thanks you softly as your mom starts talking with her, heading towards the kitchen making the Blakes and Raven follow her, leaving you and Clarke along for a few minutes.
A soft 'hey' comes out of your mouth and she answers bashfully. You spend a few moment taking her in, basking the moment and making sure you remember every detail so you can keep it with you for the rest of your life. Yeah that was pretty cheesy, but who cares.
"You look... you look really beautiful, Clarke."
"Thanks, you look quite good yourself."
The comment makes you blush and you just stare silently to the floor.
"Girls, dinner's ready!" your mom's voice interrupts you and you sigh defeatedly while she lets out a soft giggle.
You make a move to turn around but stop dead in your tracks when you feel a soft hand gently tug yours. You are pretty sure your heart stopped beating for a moment.
She looks at you with her eyes so full of an emotion you are not sure if you recognize or not, but that looks a lot like longing and you bet your eyes say the same.
"Shall we?" the way her voice sounds makes your heart flutter and you smile widely
You are falling for a girl you have just met and there's nothing you can do about it even if you wanted to.
