The mates and the date
Present: 22-09-2003 5 p.m.
Clarke is running through the university. She wants to talk to Raven. And now she found her.
- Dude, great news!
- Oh, that can't be good...
- I have a date with the new girl!
- Who? Lexa?
-Yep.
Raven didn't seem a big fan of the idea...
- You're gonna cancel it. Now!
Clarke doesn't know what's happening. But she's definitely not canceling the date.
- Hell no!
- Hell yeah!
- What's your problem?
- You!
Clarke is confused. She has no idea why Raven is acting like this...
- What did I do to you?
- To me? Nothing! My problem is what you do to the other girls!
- I'm not following it!
- Aren't you? The worst blind is the one that doesn't want to see! You use girls. Like when you are trying to loose weight and you eat candy. You eat it and then you forget about it.
- Oh, please! I'm not that bad...
Raven gives Clarke a disappointed look.
- Am I?
- It's just this little thing about you that makes me hate you sometimes. The thing is... Lexa is not like the others chicks . She's not superficial or heartless, she's doesn't think she's better than the others. She's not just a pair of boobs and a piece of ass! She has feelings, emotions, a heart. And I love you Clarke, but if you hurt her... We're done! 'Cause I've been here watching you breaking hearts of really great girls and I did nothing! Now I say it's enough!
Clarke just had one of those ''oh shit'' moments.
- I didn't know you felt that way! I didn't realize how much of a bitch I was being... But this time... this time it's different! I like Lexa. Like for real! I'll make thing right this time. I promise!
- When is your date?
- In two hours.
- Well, you should go now. Dress up and don't keep the girl waiting, 'cause girls hate that.
- Thanks for opening my eyes. Love you...
- Love you more!
They hug. Now Clarke is going to get ready for her special date.
Two hours later...
Present: 22-09-2003 7 p.m.
Clarke arrives to the dorms. She asked around about Lexa's dorm. 3rd floor, on the right, door number 357. She knocks at the door. Octavia opens up.
- Hey Clarke! You got here earlier.
- Hi, nice too see you again Octavia! And I got here on time. I said I would pick her up at 7, and it's 7...
- Exactly what I said! You're earlier!
Clarke is thinking that maybe she should have gone there fifteen minutes later.
- She's not ready yet!
- I prefer waiting for her than make her wait for me!
Lexa is listening to the whole conversation inside. She thinks Clarke is being really adorable and cute.
- She's almost ready! Wait here and don't go anywhere.
- I won't. I wouldn't dare...
Octavia closes the door to help Lexa getting ready.
- How's my make-up?
- It's fine!
- Just fine? It has to be perfect!
- Fine, it's perfect !
- Octavia, you're not helping!
Lexa is freaking out...
- Hey, relax. Sit here and listen to me. Outside that door, is a girl waiting for you. A girl who asked you on a date because she likes you just the way you are. Because you, Alexandra Sophia Woods... you are a smart, beautiful , kind, strong woman, despite the fact that you don't see yourself that way! You are thinking that you're not good enough for that girl outside! Well, let me tell you something! You are good enough for her and I know it and she knows it! The night of the party I watched you too... You were so busy trying to look good for her that you dind't even realize the way she was looking at you, the brightness in her eyes... Now you're going to get up, open that door and have fun with that blondie, okay?
Lexa is really moved by Octavia's words. It's time to grow up and stop being scared.
- Octavia, you may be a little crazy sometimes, but I love you! You're my best friend and I like you just the way you are!
They hug.
- I feel the same, Lexa... Now, open the door! It's an order!
Lexa opens the door and sees Clarke. Clarke was surprised by Lexa. Completely speechless. She never thought she could look even more beautiful. And of course, Octavia has something to say ike always.
- How does she look, Clarke?
- Absolutly stunning! Gorgeous, like always.
Lexa is blushing.
- You don't look bad yourself...
They both laugh.
- Well, thank God! Let's go then.
- Bye Octavia!
- Bye Octavia!
- Have fun, ladies! And behave yourselves!
Clarke and Lexa are in front of a really expensive french restaurant.
- This is a very expensive restaurant! I want to pay half the bill but I don't think I have enough money...
- We can go to another restaurant. I just though about this one because I usually come here.
- Oh yeah? You bring here all the other girls too?
Lexa was jooking but Clarke had another ''oh shit'' moment.
- Actually yes! I do bring all the other girls here to.
Lexa is surprise by Clarke's confession.
- I ask them on a date and pick the place. I pick always this restaurant. When the bill comes, I always pay. It's always a big number. I don't like them but they like my money. The are so turn on by the cash and that's the reason I bring them here. Because every date that started in this restaurant ended in my bed. And you know what? I really like you and I know you like me too and you see for more than my money. So, let's go somewhere else!
Lexa is shocked.
- I totally get it if you want to leave...
- No! I really apreciated the honesty. And I really like you! So let's go to another place!
Clarke is relieve.
- I know another french restaurant which is a lot cheaper!
- You know what? If we are going to be honest, I have to tell you this!
Clarke is scared.
- I don't like french food. They all have funny names and I'm not a big fan of wine. I like pizza... and beer!
- I like and beer too...
They both smile. Then they went to a really good pizza place. They had frozen ioghurt and then went for a walk.
- I really had fun tonigh!
- Me too, Lexa...
-It's late. We should go back to the university!
- Oh, I don't live there! I have a little studio, a few blocks from here. I was thinking you could spend the night there since it's really late...
- I don't think that's a good idea!
- Why not? We were just gonna sleep. You don't trust me?
- No, I don't! Not yet! And I don't trust myself either...
- Fair enough! I'll go with you back to the university.
- No. Then you would have to go back here again!
- Don't worry! I will crash at Raven's dorm. It's okay, really.
- Well thanks...
They took a cab back to NYU. Now they are in front of Lexa's dorm.
Present: 23-09-2003 1 a.m.
- Once again, thanks for the lovely night and for coming back with me.
- It's fine. I had a really, really, great time, Lexa!
- Yeah, me too.
- Well... goodbye.
- Bye...
Clarke gives Lexa a kiss on the cheek and leaves. Lexa wanted to scream. She couldn't believe that she kissed her. Now she was going to sleep because tomorrow Octavia won't let alone until she's tells her everything detail of the date.
