Chapter 3

Lexa was walking home from her kickboxing training session when her phone bleeped.

Anya: Hey Lexa. The cast and film team are dining at the Ark tomorrow evening. Would be brilliant if you could come, get to know the team and all that :) xxx

Lexa: I would love to come, thank you Anya xxx

Anya: No problem...the others will know the details ;) xxx

Anya: Oh and Lexa...ignore Gustus, he thinks your bad news...he doesn't' like change but he will come around eventually I promise. Anyway got to go, I think Gustus just scared the living daylights out of a poor runner :L xxx

Lexa: RIP him aha, see ya soon xxx

Lexa liked Anya, she was the closest thing she had had to a mother figure since her parents had passed away and she was incredibly grateful for someone so easy to talk to. She was, in fact, the person that got her into this martial arts class. Well really it was more a torture chamber where the instructor Indra pushes you to your breaking point...and beyond even that. The brunette liked pain in this way though. It meant progress.

That's how she got to where she was now. Dragging her exhausted limbs home; her weary body on the verge of collapse. Sounds dramatic yes...but it took a lot of will power to override the acceptance that this was, in fact, where she would perish. She groaned as her shoulder protested, shoving her training bag on the the side. Lexa often asked herself why she was so stubborn. She insisted upon walking home, politely declining a lift from Raven, after all she had a "stoic" reputation to uphold. BIG MISTAKE!

Sometimes she wonders if she even has a fully functional brain.

"WHYYYY" she moaned, she meant it to have vigour and aggression but even her lungs seemed to have lost hope.

"Yeah good question Lex, why are you standing in the middle of the road waiting to be flattened?" The enquiry came from a deep yet gentle voice from behind Lexa. If she had any energy left she probably would have found it sexy, but then again even her vision had began to blur. Clarke. Shit. Lexa is pretty sure she would have preferred dying on the hillside than encountering the intriguing blonde in such a state. Clarke remained in the seat of her car, window rolled down and the engine purring softly beneath her.

Lexa turned slowly, trying to control her spinning head. Her lips attempted to form a smile but it turned into more of a grimace. "Clarke." The brunette stated simply.

The blonde's pupils dilated for a short moment, Clarke fighting for composure as a wave of arousal rippled through her; Lexa seemingly unaware of the affect she has on the blonde. Clarke pushed these thoughts aside and called out to Lexa, "Oi Commander, get your butt In this car before I run you down!"

Lexa actually laughed at that. Well sort of. It was more of a raspy cough than anything but the thought was there. She edged closer to the passenger side of the car, sending a grateful smile Clarke's way.

Clarke watched the subject of her affections reach for the handle of the car door. She also watched the girl stop and fall onto the tarmac.

Lexa groaned as she regained consciousness; the light too intense and the hushed tones, of those who watched over her, deafening. She focused on growing accustomed to the brightness of reality, peering though the crack in her limp eyelids. Kill me now. Clarke was leaning over her with concerned expression etched across her face; tracing Lexa's temple with her thumb. This girl was going to be the death of her.

That's when Raven came bounding into the room, "Any food related requests from our stubborn ass hole of a friend?" She had clearly already rummaged through the cupboards, having only found a regular packet of cheetos much to her disappointment. The girl looked at the packet in distaste but dove into the snack enthusiastically; proceeding to coat her fingers in the cheesy substance. She moaned in satisfaction, "Ohhhhh...so good!"

"Seriously Raven, is food ALL you ever talk about!" Octavia shook her head at the brunette, pretending to be disappointed in her. It's a bit late for that.

"Yeah, please could you get me an apple?" The brunette asked from across the room. The others turned; Raven looking shocked and almost mildly offended.

"What the fuck...an apple?" Raven all about squeaked, the other brunette nodding in reply. "How hard did you hit your head?"

"You know some people actually eat decent food and don't live off cheetos and waffles Raven!" Clarke shot back, immediately jumping to Lexa's defence.

"Hey Griffin don't patronize we, I sometimes eat pancakes!"

"Yeah! When you can't be bothered to get off your lazy ass and cook yourself some waffles! One day I'm just going to stop making you pancakes and see how you survive." Clarke shot back.

"For your information, cheetos and waffles make up a staple diet thank you very much. They're the perfect blend between carbs and sugar!"

Clarke sighed in resignation, "Raven just go get the poor girl her apple." The brunette went to leave the room before the blonde stopped her. "Oh and Raven?"

"Yup?"

"Wash your hands before you finger Lexa's apple, I'm sure she would enjoy it a lot more if it wasn't coated in cheetos." Clarke's cheeks turned slightly pink at the realisation of what she had just said.

Raven just laughed and replied "Sure thing," before exiting the room once more.

Raven walked back into the room cautiously, holding the fruit at arms length in disgust. "Do not fear!" exclaimed Raven as she neared a confused Lexa, who had now managed to sit up slightly, resting on her elbows. "I have not turned into a healthy freak, my brain is still very much intact! I just came to deliver this "nutritious" specimen to the weirdo herself." Raven smirked, handing Lexa the piece of fruit.

"Thanks..." Lexa rolled her eyes and bit into the firm surface of the apple, pulling gently before taking a sizeable piece into her mouth. Her head was still pounding and her body ached everywhere. It didn't stop her, however, from noticing the way in which Clarke's eyes were trained on her lips as she consumed the delicious piece of fruit. Well that at least gave her a small amount of satisfaction, despite blacking out in the middle of a road in from of the most gorgeous person she had ever played eyes upon. Great job Lexa...brilliant. WELL DONE!

Anya pushed her way through the sea of people in the room, muttering her concerns.

"She's okay Anya, she's hit her head pretty hard but by the looks of it...She's not concust." Clarke informed, much to Anya's relief.

"Thank goodness for that, Indra clearly pushed you too hard." Any commented, clearly concerned. "Anyway Lexa I have a meeting with the board in like 10 minutes, so I've got to go. I'm glad you are okay." The woman said smiling, planting a kiss on Lexa's cheek.

"Thank, you Anya. Good luck!" Anya turned around sending an exaggerated thumbs up and tooth grin Lexa's way. The older blonde walked out of the room, followed by Clarke who had agreed to show the woman out.

Lexa let her head fall back against what she now noticed to be Clarke's bed. She buried her head in the pillow beneath her; having set her healthy snack aside.

"Hey cheer up Lex, it could have been worse!" Octavia suggested. Lexa turned to face her, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah at least you didn't puke on her!" Raven piped in, receiving death glares from both Lexa and Octavia.

"Oh wow...gee thanks Raven. You do know how to make a girl feel better." Lexa shot back, thrusting her face into the depths of suffocating feathers. She groaned into the cotton, overcome by embarrassment.

Perhaps she isn't going to like it here as much as she originally thought.
