Hey guys. This is most likely the second to last chapter. Sorry for the late post.

Chapter 21

Clarke's POV

I moved my hands over the surface I was laying on. It was so soft and inviting. I didn't want to move. Then I remembered the sword, my mom, the center of Polis. I thrust myself into a sitting position and breathed heavily. My hands quickly went to my abdomen looking for the point of intrusion. When I looked at my midsection, my skin was completely normal. There was not a single scratch. What happened? Was what I experienced at the center of Polis all a dream? It couldn't be. Everything that had happened was too real.

My clothes I was wearing had so little layers. I was wearing a sleeveless plain blue shirt and a white with blue stripes shorts. It looked like the attire Lexa wore when she returned to our time period as Alicia. I, on the other hand, would never have worn this. This revealed to much skin for the public and for enemies to harm me. These clothes made me feel almost naked and vulnerable. I was only use to having a layered attire. So, why again was I in these clothes?

My mind finally registered my surroundings. I was in a bedroom but it did not look like the bedrooms in Polis. The bedroom had satin sheets, a desk, multiple pictures of me, other people, and art on the walls. The sun shown in through the white curtains. The room felt so warm and inviting. This room made me feel like I belonged somehow. I don't know why. I've never been in here before. I've never seen this room before, yet I couldn't help but think how this would be how I designed a room if I didn't live in post radiated Earth. Where was I?

My doors, I don't know why I said my, were slammed opened. Who I saw was an angry Octavia. She was also dressed in my fashion.

"Griffin, get the hell up. I'm not going to be late to school today because of your slow ass. I gotta make it there on time to have a little one on one with Lincoln. If I miss that little one on one because of you, I will literally rain hell on you Clarke... Are you seriously not moving. You know what? Let me just move the process along and pick out your clothes... Plain gray tee, black boots, leather blue jackets, and jeans... See done. I don't know why you're always taking so long in the morning. It's so easy. Now get dressed and get your butt downstairs. Raven is making breakfast. Oh and don't forget your backpack. We are not driving all the way back home because you left it again." Octavia said as she strutted out my room. What kind of strange reality did I arrive in to have the Octavia from when we landed on Earth return.

Wait. Lincoln? He's alive? How? He died? I shook my head and got dressed in the clothes Octavia laid out on my bed. hmm... I look good I thought as I looked in the mirror. I grabbed the backpack and exited my room. The hallways to this building were white. I smelled a wonderful aroma as I went down the stairs. I followed the smell and it led me to a kitchen with Raven cooking and Octavia setting the table. I walked over to Raven. I had to check her leg if it was injured like in the post radiated time period. It was completely normal. That's weird. She turned around and gave me a weird look.

"It'll be done in 5 Griffin. You don't need to hover. I mean you can if you want to continue staring at my fine ass." Rae said with a chuckle. My face turned beat red at the realization of how I was angled behind Raven. I quickly moved and sat down at the table and started to think while Raven and Octavia laid the food out and finally sat down. These two seemed so young and happy. They didn't always seem worried like they use to. They actually looked like our age. We were all just girls in this moment. It was strange. Octavia passed me a rolled up paper.

"Your morning paper." Octavia said. I opened it and what I saw was the date. 2150. How is this all possible if we were in the same time period. What happened? These two don't even seem to remember anything about Polis or the mountain men. This would explain Lincoln being alive and Raven's leg never being injured. We were in the time period where the radiation leak on Earth never happened and we never lived in space, which is why everyone is still okay and alive. It finally clicked. Lexa... Lexa must have completed the quest. She saved us all, but where was she now?

Raven looked up from her plate and pointed her fork at me.

"You. Eat. Now. and Octavia turn on the TV." Raven said. The black screen Octavia pointed to with a device turned on.

"This was last night's interview. Keep it on I didn't see it." Raven said.

"You are so obsessed with this show." Octavia said.

"Not as obsessed as Clarke is with one of the main actresses." Raven said as she winked at me. I was confused. Who? I looked back at the screen.

"We're back with Talking Dead. We're hear with Jesse McCartney and Lexa Woods." the spokesperson said. Lexa? It wasn't long until she appeared on the screen. She looked radiant. I have never seen her the way she was now. She had pin straight hair, red lip stick, and a red dress on. She looked so girly and happy.

"So, Lexa did you know Jesse McCartney, when he started on the set?" the spokesperson said.

"Oh gosh I'm going to embarrass you now. No I'm going to embarrass myself really." Lexa said in the accent she had when Marny first appeared in Polis. She talked about how she knew the teen heart throb, Jesse McCartney when she was 10 and how she sang his songs on set. She seemed so carefree.

"What would you do if you were stuck in an apocalypse. I'd probably wouldn't survive. I'd be the first to get the bite." Lexa said as she made a cringing face.

"Are you dating someone?" the spokesperson asked Jesse and Lexa. Jesse said yes.

"Not right now. I have no suitors. I'm waiting for the perfect someone to come into my life." Lexa said.

"Or you're just being picky." the spokesperson said jokingly. The interview ended, while the trailer for "Fear the Walking Dead" season 2 came on. Lexa was in it and there were deathly ill people. So, that's how Alicia's home must have looked like before she ended up in our period. How awful!

While the trailer was running, Raven and Octavia started up their own little conversation about the show.

"Can you believe this show is the historical stand point of what happened in 2015? I can't believe the infection turned everyone into zombies. Thank god the authoritative figures decided to give us a shot at ridding the Earth of the infection ourselves instead of dropping radiation bombs and sending us to space." Raven said.

"Yea. Can you imagine me being in space. There would be no privacy. Bellamy would always be up my back about being with Lincoln. Not about that life." Octavia said.

"Alright blondie enough with the heart eyes to Lexa. You'll see her in school later. Let's go before we're late." Raven said. Lexa? I'm going to see her later. At school? I got really excited. I rushed Octavia and Raven out of the house. There were replicated houses across the street and to the right and left of us. There were precisely position trees around each house. The lack of uniqueness kind of was distasteful. Why were we living here? I got into the back of the car and we went on our way to school.

Then it hit me. What if Lexa was like Raven and Octavia? What if she doesn't remember anything from our past? What if she doesn't remember who she is? or Polis? or... us?

"Why do you have this confused look on your face Griffin? I mean you always are confused, but more so today then most." Octavia asked.

"Nothing. O." I said. I tried to sound normal, but honestly what was normal? I had no idea anymore.

"Okay. Ms. Grumpy Pants." O said.

We arrived to a school. It said UCLA. When we got out of the car. Octavia left us to probably go find Lincoln. I just kept walking where Raven was leading me. We entered a large tilted room with chairs centering in the front a stage with a board. Raven led us to a couple of seats in the center of the room. I needed to find out about Lexa.

"Is Lexa in this class? Raven?" I asked shly.

"Have you been staring at the back of her head every single class?" Raven said with sarcasm and a roll of her eyes. I guess she was then, but where was she. The classroom seemed pretty full already, but there was still no Lexa to be found.

Finally I saw the brunette down by the door to the stage's left. She had her hair tied back partially like always. She was wearing glasses and had a pink oversized sweater on and a plain black skirt. She looked so cute and innocent. She came in with Marny. They were laughing about something while they went straight to their seats in the front of the room. She was so close to me. I needed to find out if she remembered. I started to get up when the teacher came in and Raven pulled me right back down in my seat.

"If you're going to chicken out at asking Lexa out again. I rather you not do that with Professor Crazy Carver teaching. That was my attempt. I would have to wait till the end of this class to try again.

I quickly found out that this was a calculus class and I rather was horrible with keeping up with what was going on. Lexa on the other hand answered questions left and right from the professor. Lexa was always a student if not a teacher I thought. Finally the class ended and the professor let us go. As I gathered my things and got ready to make my dash towards Lexa, I saw Donny walk into the room with Nate. He put his arm around Lexa and they walked out with him whispering something in her ear. I slumped back into my seat a little jealous and defeated. Raven saw what had happened and patted my shoulders.

"You never know. They might just be best friends like always and they're not dating like everyone thinks they are. Griffin where's your game. You go after her until she puts a restraining order on you, you got it." Raven said with a cheeky smile.

"Mhmm."I managed to mumble out.

"So there's a barbecue/party that's happening in the late afternoon. You have to go because Lincoln's throwing it. Meet you at 3 by the car. Alright I'm going to my comp sci class. Have fun at your art class, Clarke." Raven shouted as she walked away. Today was not how I wanted it to go. I had know idea where Lexa was? if she was dating Donny? if she remembered me? where I was? oh where's my next class? Darn.

"Raven!" I shouted running towards the direction Raven had headed towards.
