Clarke
It has been almost a week since Clarke accepted Lexa's date. She still felt weird that she didn't actually tell her yes, but she had rules to follow with this sorority shit. The happiness from the invitation is still plastered on her face every day. Her smile would get brighter and bigger every time she saw or got a text from Lexa too. Their class time was basically filled with passing the infamous notebook back and forth. Lexa told her about telling Beca and Clarke recounted the interaction she had with Raven and Octavia…
Clarke had waited exactly five minutes (she figured Lexa would have left in that amount of time) before bolting out of her room and down the hall to Raven and Octavia's room. She could have put a hole in the door with the force she used to knock, which she only stopped doing once Raven opened it. "Is O here?" Clarke asked without letting Raven say anything.
"Yeah she just got back from practice a few minutes ago, get in here. Why are you breaking down our door?" Raven pulled her in the room and turned with her arms crossed after closing it.
"Sup Griff?" Octavia shot from her bed. "Why are you like glowing right now?" Clarke really wanted to tell them both about Lexa asking her out but she was still on edge about how O would feel about it. These are your best friends Clark! You can trust them with literally anything! Clarke reminded herself of the same thing her mother had told her years ago.
"Why did you give Lexa my room number?" Clarke just wanted to know. Did Lexa ask for it? Did it just come up in conversation?
"Well I didn't give it to her exactly…I drug her to stand in front of it and then I knocked. So did she do it?" That was the last thing that Clarke expected to hear out of her friend.
"What is going on? I'm seriously confused right now." Raven was always confused but so was Clarke right now.
"Lexa and Clarke. They are both pining over each other." Octavia answered. "You can't tell me you honestly couldn't tell!"
"Oh no, I know. I didn't know that YOU knew." Raven countered. Clarke stayed silent because she was still trying to figure out how Octavia knew she was head over heels for Lexa.
"Umm, it's not like I needed anyone to tell me! They hardly even notice other people when they are together. Plus Lexa mentioned something about a girl a month ago, a girl she saw a lot but never really had the chance to talk to. Then when I saw them together after the game everything clicked. Plus Clarke has had heart eyes since the activities fair!" Octavia ranted. "Wait what did you mean by you knew?"
"Clarke told me she was into Lexa." Shit, I'm dead. Clarke turned red at the truth.
"Okay before you get mad I can explain." Octavia had turned to glare at her. "I didn't know how it would make you feel since Lexa is kinda your friend. I'm sorry."
"Why do people think that I will get upset by something like that? God, Lexa said the same thing when she basically asked me if she could ask you out on a date!"
"LEXA WANTS TO ASK HER OUT?!" Raven yelled.
"Actually," Clarke started softly. "Lexa did ask me out!" This time they all screamed with joy…one of them may have jumped up and down like the girl she was (cough, Octavia, cough).
"Well what did you say?" Raven asked but it was Octavia who knew the answer.
"I told her to make it the best first date ever!"
Lexa tried to ask cryptic questions about Clarke's ideal first date but Clarke had caught her every time. Sometimes they wouldn't really have much to talk about, Clarke had to keep the sorority a secret until the date, so she would draw small flowers and designs in the corner of the page. Lexa always took the notebook after each class, Clarke didn't mind but she also wondered if there was more in it than just their conversations.
Clarke was brought out of her thoughts by a knock on her door. She opened it to reveal Octavia in her SZP polo without her pledge pin on. Clarke had been having a hard time with her pin, she needed to make sure Lexa didn't see it but she had to have it on her person all the times. She had resorted to putting it on the bottom hem of her shirt until she was away from Lexa. Luckily she didn't run into any of her sisters when she did this, though she would still argue that she was wearing it. "Man I have no idea where to put this thing! Should it be with the letters? On the opposite side? On the collar?" Octavia had a good point. "Wait, why aren't you changed yet? Clarke we have to be at the house in ten minutes!"
"I know I just need to put my shirt on." Clarke walked away from the door leaving it open for Octavia to come in. She removed her pin from her current shirt and put it in the pocket of her khaki shorts before changing her shirt. "I think we should ask Nia or maybe Ontari where to put it. They might have a spot that they want us all to put it so we match or something." Once Clarke straightened out her shirt and did a once over in the mirror they left.
Clarke was right about the pin. The pair had asked Ontari about it and she was impressed that they had considered the fact. Once Ontari had fixed their pins and the other three pledges' the sisters made their way over to Sigma Beta Theta's house. It was about two blocks down the street (so dubbed "Greek Boulevard") and twice as big as SZP's house. The sisters skipped the front door and went straight to the gate in the fence. Once they were all in the back yard Clarke heard the unmistakable voice call over all of the Sigma girls.
"Octavia? Clarke? What in the world are you two doing he…oh shit." Bellamy had made his way over to them through some of the other girls. "What the hell O?! Were you going to ever tell me?"
"Surprise Bell, I'm your sister…again." Octavia laughed.
"What's up Bellamy? Having an issue with our pledge class already?" Nia had slipped in beside him now.
"No I guess not. I'm just surprised that is all."
"Why is that?"
"Well Nia, Octavia happens to actually be my little sister. She didn't even tell me she was interested in rushing." Bell was staring O down again.
"Well I wasn't at first but Clarke was and she made it sound super awesome, which it is, so here we are!" Octavia gave her brother a look that told him to drop it. He did. "At least I'm in the sorority that is tied to your fraternity!"
"Good point Octavia. Well congratulations on becoming a pledge." Nia had walked away leaving just Clarke, Bellamy, and Octavia alone. "You better tell me if anything shitty happens to you guys you hear me? Pledging can be rough, now I just need to find the assholes that grabbed you two on hood night and beat them senseless for not telling me!"
"Chill Bellamy, I was the one that took Octavia. Murphy nabbed Clarke." Clarke looked toward the voice to see a very tall, muscular guy with a buzz cut Mohawk walking their way. He looked vaguely familiar. "Sorry about scaring the shit out of you." He had turned to Octavia, then looked back at Bellamy. "Dude let me tell you about it…"
"Or you could not and save us all the embarrassment!" Octavia cut him off. Clarke laughed alongside the frat brother.
"I'm Lincoln Nukpana, it's nice to officially meet you." Lincoln was solely focused on Octavia at this point. Clarke didn't mind at all because one look at Octavia's face and you knew she was struck. Clarke studied the pair for a moment before a smile crept over her face. She was about to make the comment when Lincoln did it himself. "You play a mean game of lacrosse by the way."
"This is who you brought to my game with you?" Octavia turned on her brother again. Clarke had put the pieces together, yes it took her time, it had been a week since the first game any way.
"Yeah it was me…the face paint thing was cool. It reminded me of Native American war paint." Lincoln had started up a full on conversation with Octavia and Clarke started to retreat. Bellamy pulled her aside.
"Are they still doing the typical first task?" Bell asked completely straight faced though his words were laced with worry.
"The date thing? Yeah. No, Octavia doesn't have one yet. Though I think she just found her man." Bellamy looked like he was about to throw up. "Clam down Bell, O is a big girl she can do what she wants. Plus if it is someone you know then you will already know whose ass to kick if something goes wrong." That got a smile back on his face.
"Yeah you're right. Plus most of the pledges end up getting dates from this mixer anyway. That is how we know about it." Bellamy locked eyes with Clarke as she was about to ask him more. "Don't even think about it! All we know is that the dates are judged we don't know anything else." Clarke put her hands up in surrender. "Come on Griff, I'll introduce you to some other brothers. Plus we need to get you a drink."
Beca
Beca was glad that Lexa decided to work out at the gym today, something about it being arms and abs day, because she needed to get ready for the mixer. Lexa had been hounding her about her performance schedule since her first practice. Beca refused to tell her about her first one though, plus it wasn't like Lexa could get into the party to see her anyway right? She needed to get at least one performance, in front of actual people, before letting her sister see her make a fool of herself. As soon as Lexa left the room that afternoon Beca scrambled to get dressed, she hated this uniform. She looked like a flight attendant for one of those super cheap airlines that hands out paper thin blankets and doesn't even have peanuts.
Once she was suited, minus the heels of death and the scarf of affixation, she headed to the Bellas house once again. She wasn't really nervous for this performance, she had decided long ago that it would be a train wreck and she would just have to deal with being a part of that. Knowing that there wouldn't be anyone she knew to watch it happen was a plus though. She was a little upset with herself about not even telling Lexa about their performance, even if there was no way she could see it if she did, so she needed to tell her something.
Tiny Demon: I may not be at the dorm when you get back. Got a Bellas thing.
Commander: Say hi to Chloe for me ;)
Tiny Demon: She will be too busy making music with her mouth for that.
Snappy one-liners were kind of Beca's thing. They were Lexa's too (it ran in the family) but she would never be able to outdo what Beca just sent…or so she thought.
Commander: I'm sure that's not all you want her to do with her mouth!
Beca didn't even bother responding to that one, her sister certainly had her head in the gutter today (or every day for that matter). Besides she was basically at the house by now, she took a chance and glanced at the Treblemaker house next door and saw Jesse in the yard. "What up LBF?" He called as he crossed the grass toward her.
"What the hell is LBF?" She figured she didn't really want to know but what the heck right?
"Lesbian Best Friend!" Jesse had the proudest smile on his face, you would have thought his own child had just become president!
"Dammit how many times do I have to tell you? I'm not a lesbian, I'm bisexual!" Beca hated that her sexuality was one that was often left out of things. "And keep your voice down!"
"Right sorry, won't happen again, promise. So let me try again, what up BBF?" Beca just rolled her eyes at him.
"Look Jesse I really don't have time to talk right now, we have this gig today and I really don't want to give Aubrey another reason to hate me." Jesse nodded and turned to walk away, then Beca remembered Lexa's words. "Hey weirdo! By the way, my sister is jealous that I have a best lesbro and she doesn't since she is actually a lesbian." Jesse laughed outright at that and Beca headed up to the house.
Everyone was already in the living room of the house when she got there. Chloe bounded over to her as Beca removed her Converse and donned her death traps. Chloe barely even gave her time to stand back up before she wrapped her in yet another hug. For some odd reason Beca's own right hand betrayed her and moved itself to pat the back of Chloe's arm. "I knew my hugs were getting through to you!" Chloe bounded back into the living room with the other Bellas again.
Beca didn't know what was happening to her. She had stopped hugging people after her mother's funeral, because it was all people seemed to want to do when they saw her. Those hugs made her feel like everyone just wanted to suffocate her with sorrow. Beca used to love hugs, especially from her mom, those particular hugs tended to trade Beca's feelings with her mother's. If Beca was sad, upset, or even mad a hug from her mom took it all away only to be replaced with love, happiness, and pride that she knew her mother had always felt for her. Beca hadn't hugged someone back in over two years. I miss that. Her own brain had now betrayed her. Though her heart told her it was true, the recent hugs from Chloe (even though Beca hadn't reciprocated them) had started to burn through the layers she kept around her heart. Chloe was…slowly but surely…getting through to her.
Beca pushed her feelings back inside their castle high walls and tied her scarf around her neck being sure to check which side Aubrey had her knot on. Beca made her way into the living room where Aubrey was giving each Bella a once over with a fine toothed comb. She turned on Beca the moment she was close. Beca looked down at herself and then around the group. They looked the same in her eyes, everyone had the same buttons done and undone, each girl could see themselves in their shoes, and the knot in the scarf was on the right side of their necks. Aubrey didn't say anything to Beca (she took it as a good sign) and then lead the Bellas out the front door and down the street to the frat house.
Beca was almost the last out the door until she noticed Chloe standing just outside. Her smile plastered big as ever but Beca could tell something was off. "Hey, Chloe is everything okay?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Chloe cocked her head to the side and her eyes grew a tiny bit bigger. Suddenly the image of a very curious puppy filled Beca's mind and she had to suppress the urge to smile.
"You just look a little down about something." Beca followed the rest of the Bellas past her. It wasn't any of her business what Chloe was feeling anyway, even with as bad as she wanted to know.
Beca had been right, the performance was a train wreck. No. Train wreck didn't even come close to what that was, some guy named Howie called them a "barn yard explosion" but that wasn't quite right either. Honestly they looked like a group of girls let out of the asylum for an hour if they agreed to sing together. Yeah that sounded about right. Beca knew it would be bad, just not bad enough that they got thrown out. Aubrey started on some rant as soon as they were outside of the gate. Beca thought about the performance again, she didn't really find anything wrong with it other than the fact that their choreography was way off. They were all on pitch, even if Fat Amy had added her own flare, and they actually got all of their cues right. They just suck at this whole dancing thing, plus this choreography was nothing like what they had been learning for their actual show. Then Beca remembered the blonde hair and blue eyes she saw, it had looked like Clarke was there. The thought left with Aubrey yelling at Chloe.
"Chloe for serious what is wrong with you?"
"I have nodes!" Was Chloe's answer. Okay chill out Mitchell remember you know nothing about singing. "I found out this morning." That was why she had that look about her! Beca needed to play cool for the plan she just thought up.
"What are nodes?" She ignored Aubrey's words because she did actually know what nodes were, she was planning to use her knowledge to possibly woo Chloe on a later date. The look on Chloe's face was enough to make Beca feel some of the bricks from her walls slip out of place leaving holes. Chloe knew what nodes could mean if she didn't take care of them, Beca knew they were painful too. The fact that Chloe was willing to suffer that pain rather than not be able to be a Bella made Beca's mind up for her. She would do everything in her power to help Chloe with her nodes, even if it did tarnish her badass reputation.
Amy sprouted something off about how it could be worse for Chloe (Beca was honestly expecting a ginger joke) then Beca heard the gate open behind them. Beca turned at the noise to see Clarke standing there, solo cup in hand. Beca looked back at Aubrey to make sure she was fully engrossed in Chloe before walking over. "You can't tell Lexa that we performed today!" Beca shot off. "I didn't tell her because I had a feeling it would go exactly like it did."
"Yeah, I can't say that I was impressed. I was surprised to see you though. Lexa said music was your thing but knowing her, I didn't see you as one for acapella." Clarke noted. Beca nodded and took in Clarke quickly, her eyes catching the Greek letters and small crested pin on her shirt. She was about to say something when she heard Aubrey again.
"Ladies, let's move! Emergency mandatory practice…NOW!" Great General Posen is back in full swing. Beca thought with an eye roll.
"Well it was nice seeing you Clarke, I'll tell Lexa you say hi." She whispered the next part. "Congrats on the date!" Then she returned to her group. She thought she heard Clarke say something else but she couldn't make out what and she really didn't feel like taking on the wrath of General Posen.
Chloe
Bellas practice was stupid. Aubrey made them run way more than necessary…even in Chloe's opinion. As soon as they were given a break each girl hit the floor, with the exception of Chloe, Aubrey, and Beca. Beca made her way over to her bag and Aubrey over to the piano to look at the sheet music sitting there. Chloe's throat was killing her because as Aubrey puts it, "Singing while you run helps with your breathing." Chloe had been true to her words and pulled back when it got to be too much but Bree was in the zone today. Chloe made her way over to the section of seating that was farthest away from the piano, there was only so much Posen a girl could take in one day, and sat trying to keep her breaths deep and even.
Beca appeared before her holding out a thermos to her. "This will help with your throat." When Chloe didn't take it right away Beca opened it and poured the liquid into the provided cup. "It's honey lemon tea. It will soothe the pain and the heat will lubricate everything." Chloe was pretty sure her eyebrows had become part of hairline. The Bellas had only been given fifteen minutes to go back to their dorms and change before practice had been set to start, there was no possible way Beca could have researched that information in that amount of time. Chloe was about to make the comment when Beca stopped her yet again. "Don't speak, you really need to rest your voice whenever you can. If you want to keep singing then you have to stop talking as much as you have been. Yes I know that is almost an impossible feat for you but I have a plan." Beca pulled out her phone and opened her Notes app then handed the device to Chloe.
Chloe's brain clicked when she looked back up at Beca. She took a big drink of the tea, sighing slightly as it slid down her throat, before she typed out her message. "You lied. You knew what nodes were the whole time." Then turned the screen so Beca could read. Then Beca sighed.
"Yes I did. Don't ask me to tell you how I know, that all has to do with the stuff we need to talk about sometime." Chloe erased her message before typing again.
"When?" Was all she wrote, it felt strange to be talking with Beca this way. She knew she needed to rest her voice but the phone didn't give her a chance to add flirty tones or any bead of sarcasm.
"Soon for sure. Lexa just got a date but doesn't have like the day set up or anything, I was thinking of us hanging out then. Maybe just have food and get to know each other…since like…you know. Well I mean we are gonna be stuck together all year with this group, so why not get to know at least one person." Beca was cute when she was nervous. Chloe caught the subtle hints about this not being a date between them. Of course Chloe wanted to get to know Beca, in more ways than one, she would gladly wait until Beca was ready.
Chloe turned the phone back to herself again. "Sounds good! Do you want to do it at your place? We could do it at the Bellas house but Bree with more than likely be there. If it is a weekend then some of the others might be too." Chloe type out, she was proud of the fact that she could text almost faster than she could type on a computer. Beca's eyebrows scrunched together a little when she read the message. Not that Chloe was watching her that close or anything-oh who was she kidding of course she was watching that close.
"Actually I thought maybe we could go somewhere first? I mean if you want to stay in that's fine – or we could go out to eat if you want that – or not if you have like allergies or something." Beca didn't show any signs of stopping. Chloe thought it was cute how she got all flustered and nervous talking about it. Chloe placed her hand on the knee that was closest to her and Beca instantly shut her mouth and looked at said hand. Chloe lifted it to type again. I wish she would just let me talk to her, this would be so much easier.
"We can do whatever Bec. Surprise me!" As Beca opened her mouth to reply Bree called them all back. Beca reached out and plucked the phone still in Chloe's hand.
"Finish that cup and have another quick so you can sing a little better." Beca shot over her shoulder at Chloe while she made her move to where Aubrey had ordered the others. Chloe's heart warmed with the notion that Beca was looking out for her. "We really wouldn't want anything to happen to that amazing voice of yours now would we?" Did Beca actually just wink at her? Yes, she did. Chloe was not in fact seeing things. Beca Mitchell had winked at her AND complimented her voice.
Chloe's mind went blank for a moment before she downed the last of the tea that had gone cool and poured herself another cup. She carried it over to stand with Aubrey while she sipped it, they began the remainder of practice with choreography. The group was improving, even since the mixer, but they were still missing their counts. Chloe instantly ran to the metronome on the piano to set it so she wouldn't have to count. Luckily Bree didn't protest this time, Chloe slowed it down so they could work one count at a time.
After a while they had worked their way up to full speed and the girls looked much more together. Chloe watched as they hit their cues, letting her eyes hang on Beca a moment longer than anyone else. Beca would never agree with her but Chloe knew Beca was a good dancer, even if she was clumsy at times. Chloe liked to watch the subtle ripple of Beca's body as she brought her hands up to rest on the sides of her lower back. She hadn't realized that she was staring until Aubrey called practice and Beca was standing face to face with her. Beca never said anything neither did Chloe (she would claim it was due to nodes and not the fact that Beca was super intoxicating when she was kinda sweaty). Beca just reached around behind Chloe and handed her the cup of tea still sitting on the piano. Then she flashed her a smile, grabbed her bag, and ran off. All Chloe could do was drink her tea and watch her go.
Lexa
Lexa had only just returned from the shower when Beca threw the door open. "Dude this is like the best day ever!" Then she crossed the room to the coffee pot they snuck into the dorm (what? On campus coffee was damn pricey okay?) and started a pot of water, throwing a tea bag in the pot. Lexa took her in.
"Okay what is with the outfit? There is now way that is yours, it doesn't have any black in it at all!" Lexa laughed at her. Lexa didn't really have any room to talk, the majority of her closet was black, gray, and red. With the occasional white top thrown in, maybe some green to go with her eyes…maybe.
"Umm…we had a dress rehearsal today. This is the Bellas uniform." Lexa lost it. There was no way she could stop the laughter from bursting forth. When she finally had enough control to open her eyes she saw the smirk on Beca's face and knew she thought the same about the uniform. "Now I have to get changed and get the tea rounded up before going back to practice. Aubrey decided we needed more than just a run through today." Beca replied after Lexa could breathe again.
"So why is this the best day ever if you have more practice?" Beca had only ever bitched about practices and having to join just to get her dream job. The whole thing really didn't make much sense to Lexa.
"Dude Chloe has nodes!" Beca was so excited and Lexa had no clue why. The smile on Beca's face was as real as the day Lexa had promised to go to Barden with her.
"No dude that's terrible! You know how nodes can be! Why are you happy about this? I thought you liked her Bex." Lexa was so confused. Nodes had not played a kind role in their lives before and she wouldn't wish them on her worst enemy…okay that's a lie…she probably would wish it on them but then feel super bad if they in fact did get them.
"I do like her and yeah it sucks that she has them but…" Here comes the but, Beca always had a but about something. "She caught them early and since I know she has them then I can…you know…like be there for her and shit. I'm making her the tea and I'm gonna make sure she doesn't talk as much as normal." Lexa just gave her sister a look that said 'really?' before Beca continued. "Look I down played the whole knowing what they were thing and I really want to use that to my advantage right now."
"I get where you are coming from. I guess I would do the same thing if the opportunity presented itself." The pot made that gargling noise it always did when it was done. Beca pulled her shirt over her head and grabbed a thermos out of the cabinet adding the rest of the ingredients into the tea. "Not entirely sure when practice will end but you wanna do dinner tonight? Maybe actually go somewhere? We haven't in awhile." Beca asked with an almost sad look in her eyes.
"Yeah sounds great Bex. I think I'm just going to catch up on some homework and stuff anyway." That would be code for binge watch movies on Netflix because Beca hated doing that…ever. As soon as Beca was out the door Lexa had her laptop open and was on the sight before you could blink (it may have been one of her shortcuts on her Google Chrome homepage). She started with whatever she had added last in her List and continued from there. She did work on homework as well since she didn't want to have to do it later instead of spending time with her sister.
She was on her third…or was it fourth…movie when her phone went off. It was Clarke (Lexa had messaged her after asking her out purely so the other girl had her number as well) saying she had details about the date of their, well, date.
Clarke Griffin: Next Saturday. Pick me up at exactly 6:30. 1458 Greenview Blvd. I can't wait! :D
Lexa Woods: Should I be worried that you won't be at your dorm?
Clarke Griffin: No you can trust me, nothing bad will happen.
Lexa wanted to trust Clarke but she had issues with such things, so she didn't reply to the message with anything more than the letter 'K' and she hated when people did that to her. She tried not to think about the message and how it made her stomach flip. What if she was picking Clarke up at her home and she would have to face her parents? Did Clarke's parents know about her sexuality? What if they didn't approve of their daughter dating her? Lexa needed to get her mind off of the questions floating to the surface so she did the most logical thing. She looked up what to do with Clarke on their first date so that it could be "the best first date ever", and Lexa was determined to make that exact sentence come out of Clarke at the end of the night.
Beca had come back to the room awhile later stating she needed to take a shower before they left. Lexa had already changed out of her Netflix clothes (yes she had things she wore for such an activity) and just needed to put on her shoes. While Beca was in the shower Lexa ordered up an Uber to take them home…their real home. Beca was almost finished getting ready when she noticed the shoes Lexa was putting on.
"Why are you wearing those? You only ever wear those if…oh no…no, NO NO! We aren't are we?" Beca's panic was amusing to Lexa.
"It's time we got the Jeep Bex. We need it…and I need…you know...for next Saturday." Lexa set her biggest grin at her sister until she put the pieces together.
"Wait did she finally give you a day?" Beca was smiling with her now. "What are you going to take her to do?"
"Yes, she did and I have everything planned but I need it Bex. Plus you can't deny the sex appeal it has!" Beca just nodded her head. Lexa's phone chimed. "The Uber is here to take us to Dunwoody. Plus I figured that we could eat at that little shop you love so much down the street from the house."
"Thanks Lex. Let's get this over with." Lexa grabbed her favorite leather jacket out of her closet on the way to the door, it wasn't quite cold out yet but nights were starting to get that chill in the air. "But I get to drive the Jeep back here." Lexa just laughed at her sister and gave her the 'well duh' look.
Their Uber driver was pretty basic, not really a talker, but not a total creeper that looked like he might knock you off before your ride was over. They had him drop them at Beca's diner, they never really knew the name of it because the big sign just read 'EAT', then paid him extra for the detour they had him take. Their dinner was basically a lot of Beca trying to get Lexa to explain her date plans and Lexa trying to get Beca to admit that the plans she made with Chloe were in fact an actual date. Beca had taken the time during their Uber ride to ask Chloe if next Saturday would work for them to get together. She of course said yes, Lexa could tell by the way Beca's eyes turned that lighter shade of blue and the fact that she wouldn't stop smiling. Their walk back to the house was where things got interesting.
"So I saw Clarke today." Beca began. "Is she in a sorority or something?" Lexa felt like the question came out of left field but went with it.
"Not that I'm aware of. She never mentioned anything and rush was like last week right?" Lexa just shrugged it off. Yet she couldn't help the curiosity that Beca's question stirred up inside her. "Why?"
"Well when I saw her she was wearing a polo with the Greek letters for Sigma Zeta Psi on it and this little pin that had the same symbols. I think that is one of the sororities on campus, I'm not positive though." Beca gave her head that little shake she does when she dismisses a thought. They had arrived at the house now and Beca unlocked the door letting them both inside. "Dad?" Beca called through the house getting no reply in return. "They must be out. You get to be the one to tell him we are taking it." Beca left Lexa standing alone in their living room as she went to get the keys. Lexa sent her uncle a quick text explaining what they were doing, his only reply was to be safe, it was the same reply he always gave. Beca returned with keys in hand and pushed Lexa toward the garage.
The whole way back to campus Lexa let the questions fill her head while she answered them. Was Clarke really in a sorority? I guess it doesn't really matter if she is, that's cool for her. Why didn't she ever mention it? Maybe it goes deeper than just her wanting to be in it. Should she ask her about what Beca had seen? No, if Clarke wants me to know about it then she will tell me on her own terms. Lexa could live with that, let Clarke come to her and just play dumb for the time being. Besides it wasn't like Lexa could change the fact if she was in a sorority any way, and it DEFINITELY wouldn't change how Lexa felt about her. Not in the slightest.
