Burning questions
”Did I just see you and Lexa smile at each other?” Raven looked at Clarke, they where having their lunch break and where sitting at their usual table with Octavia, Lincoln and Bellamy.
”Umm…no?” Clarke shrugged, it was a lie - they had locked eyes and Clarke had smiled at her and Lexa returned the smile.
”Thought so considering she’s been a total dick towards you”
”She’s not that bad” Clarke said, she hadn’t told her friends that she went to Lexa’s place yesterday. She didn’t know how to explain it.
”Are you kidding?” Octavia scoffed. ”She turned the whole school against you and you got bullied for the day…she’s THAT bad”
”What about Anya?” Clarke looked at Raven.
”She’s not Lexa”
”So are you two like a thing now or?”
”We are just hanging out…we haven’t done anything” Raven told her. ”Plus she’s not like Lexa…they might be complete opposite off each other, Anya actually has a sense off humor”
”Fine” Clarke didn’t feel like arguing this, she knew Lexa had been mean to her but she did apologize for it and…she was there for her when she missed her dad.
”Don’t go soft now, you have your first campaign speech soon…” Raven looked at her.
”I know…I need to focus” Clarke agreed, even if she maybe wasn’t hating Lexa anymore - she still had to win this.
”Anything we can do?” Octavia wondered.
”It’s just a short speech, I worked on it…might be some questions for me and Lexa but I can’t prepare for them”
”Want me to ask a question that you can prepare?” Bellamy looked at her.
”You are genius sometimes” Raven looked at him.
”Might be to obvious…a nice idea but I won’t take any chances, speaking off - I need to go change my outfit”
”Okay we will be there!” Raven winked at her. ”MAKE US PROUD”
Clarke made her way to her locker and grabbed a white shirt, she had nice black pants already that would fit perfectly with the shirt. She rushed through the school to get the changing rooms close to the assembly hall. As she was changing she swore to herself as she hadn’t put on a bra that day, she put on a big sweatshirt this morning and forgot about it.
”Hey” Lexa entered the room, she had changed into a black suit with a white shirt under it as well. ”Hey” Clarke finished the last button and turned around.
”Oh…” Lexa smirked as she looked down at Clarke’s cleavage.
”What?” Clarke questioned her.
”You know your shirt is see through right? Lexa smirked as Clarke covered herself with her arms.
”What?” She had to look down herself and realized that yes, you could perfectly see her breast.
”Might get you a few votes” The brunette chuckled as she wasn’t able to look away.
”This isn’t funny? I wont have time to get another shirt…I can’t go out there with my ugly as sweatshirt”
”Okay calm down…” Lexa took off her black jacket and handed it to her, it was just now Clarke realized how good the brunette looked in a suit. ”Wear this, it should cover your um…breasts”
”Really?” Clarke looked at her surprised and Lexa went closer to help Clarke pull it over, she couldn’t help but shiver being so close and Lexa’s gently touching her arms.
”Let me see” Lexa mumbled and Clarke turned around. ”Problem solved”
”Thank you…” Clarke breathed.
”Thank you” Lexa teased her.
”Gosh…I’m so embarrassed, stop” Clarke pushed Lexa gently on her arm.
”Nothing to be embarrassed about” Lexa calmly told her. ”Do you hear me complain?”
”Of course you’re not” Clarke caught herself flirting.
”So…” Lexa stepped a little bit closer. ”Good luck” Clarke could feel her breathing getting heavier, the sexual tension in the room right now was ridiculous. She noticed how Lexa was starring at her intense, her green eyes where hungry but she didn’t make a move…maybe out off respect because Clarke pushed her away the last time she got close?
”I…really want to kiss you right now” Clarke admitted out loud and she looked at Lexa’s reaction, a smile appeared on her face.
”I thought it was a mistake?” Lexa raised an eyebrow.
”Probably is…” Clarke couldn’t take it anymore, she had craved those lips since their last kiss so she threw her arms around Lexa’s neck and collided their lips once more, Lexa didn’t fight it she put her arms around Clarke’s waist too pull her closer before moving a hand to the blonde’s neck. Clarke shivered by the touch and started exploring Lexa’s tongue with her’s, Lexa was a great kisser. She couldn’t help but untuck Lexa’s shirt that was seconds ago tidy, she needed to feel more of the brunette, Lexa gave her a sexy chuckle as she helped Clarke out of the jacket she just borrowed her but a knock on the door made the girls jump away from each other.
”Girls” It was Kane. ”Are you ready?” They both looked at each other, sexually frustrated.
”Yeah” Lexa replied as she tucked her shirt back in as she looked playfully at Clarke as she pulled the jacket back on stressed. ”I thought you where too good for me?” She lowered her voice.
”Shut up” Clarke shook her head as she fixed her lipstick but couldn’t help but smile, these secret make-outs was really turning her on.
Clarke was not usually nervous but standing there talking in front of almost the entire school while Lexa was basically undressing her with her green eyes was…something she had never experienced before.
”Reasons to vote for me is that I know what this school needs, I have listened to all of you these past weeks and I hear you and I agree with you…” Clarke glanced over at Lexa, she teasingly bit her lip with that stupid smirk on her face.
”Question?” Kane looked at the left corner. ”Give him a microphone”
”Thank you, hi my name is Nathan Miller for people who might not know me…I am a proud gay man and I just wonder how you feel about the false accusations Lexa made about you?” Clarke swallowed at the question and suddenly Lexa wasn’t smiling anymore.
”I must say I was surprised… I think most of you all know that my mind is not that small, this is what I have been working on for so long, a school where people don't have to be afraid in, feel ashamed or like an outsider. Maybe Lexa thought she was defending the community…” Clarke looked at her again, she was listening carefully at her words. The blonde knew she couldn’t just let this one slip, they would see her as weak if she did. ”I think she could off have just simply asked me personally, or act when the misunderstanding happened…I mean she didn’t know my situation and obviously didn’t know I was bisexual. I wasn’t really open about it but Lexa forced me to come out in front of all of you…I am not ashamed of who I am but somethings I like to keep with my inner circle, it’s nothing I regret because I am proud of who I am - I regret that you had to find out the way you did - because of someone who should support and stand by me put me in a corner.”
”Come on” Lexa used her microphone and looked shocked at Clarke. ”I understand I was in the wrong, I do apologize for that. I misunderstood the situation like you said”
”But” Nathan interrupted her. ”How can we trust someone who says they are behind us when you out them the way you did?”
”I thought I was protecting you” Lexa seemed stressed. ”I understand how you feel, I would react the same. It was not my intentions and I have to work to gain your trust again but I will prove it to you. I am on your side Miller, always”
”That’s all” He sat down again and the rest of the questions where not as intense but the playful looks from Lexa was gone, she seemed stone cold again.
As soon at it was over Lexa grabbed her arm when they where out of sight and dragged her to the side to not be disturbed.
”What the fuck was that?” She said frustrated.
”He asked the question Lexa”
”You didn’t really make it any better”
”I am sorry that you had to own up for your mistakes but we are still running against each other”
”Yeah..and that’s it” Lexa swore to herself under her breath. ”Can I get my jacket back?”
”Of course” Clarke took it off as she tried to read the brunette, she understood that she was stressed but how could she not understand? ”I didn’t mean to upset you..”
”No you did what you had to do, I get that” Lexa grabbed the jacket.
”You did great on the other questions” Clarke tried.
”I don’t need you to pity me Clarke” She rolled her name out. ”This probably is a mistake, you where probably right, I see that now” Lexa sighed and gave her one last look before she left leaving Clarke alone and confused.
Clarke couldn’t shake it off, even as she was sitting at her and her friends favorite café once school had ended. They where celebrating Nathan’s question, he was a part of the soccer team and apparently Bellamy had asked him to pop the question. Clarke knew they just wanted to help and just a week ago she would have celebrated with them but it felt wrong now, she had just getting used with getting along with Lexa and now it was over?
”You seem down?” Bellamy asked her.
”No, it went really well”
”Yeah I talked to some students afterwards, they loved it” He chuckled, I knew I couldn’t do it…but I mean I had to do something for you. You are a leader and people should start seeing that”
”That was brilliant big brother” Octavia smiled at him.
”Clarke” Raven lowered her voice.
”Yeah?” She looked at her best friend.
”Anya texted and wanted to hang out, do you get mad if I leave the party early?”
”No…go have fun kiddo” Clarke smiled at her, it was cute that she asked her first - not needed at all, she was just glad they wanted to celebrate with her.
”Gustus threatened us did you hear that” Bellamy scoffed. ”Speaking of Anya” As he overheard their conversation.
”What?” Clarke looked at him.
”Yeah something about being careful, that he knew what we where up too ”
”When?” Clarke got curious.
”A while after the campaign, he probably knows I got your back” He smiled.
”Why would he…”
”Let’s just say we are not on their good side anymore, it was a short but bittersweet friendship” Bellamy scoffed while some off the guys from the team laughed with him.
”It’s getting dirty now…” Raven shrugged. ”Anyways, see you guys later”
”See you” They all waved her goodbye.
”I can’t believe Gustus did that…” Clarke shook her head.
”Well we did you a favor I guess…you should’ve seen Lexa’s face” Bellamy said proudly. ”She looked pissed”
”I don’t know why that would upset them this much” Clarke wondered.
”I am surprised Anya wants to hang out with Raven..She was pissed about it as well” Bellamy said.
”At least we are not lying or making things up” Clarke shrugged, still unsure how she felt about the situation.
They relaxed at the café for a while, luckily talking about other things. Bellamy and the boys was excited for their next game while her and Octavia talked about a new show they both where watching on Netflix. Clarke was a bit behind but she rarely found time to watch TV even though she loved it. Getting hooked on a tv-show and binge watching was an amazing feeling, just getting lost in another world for a while.
Clarke’s phones stared buzzing, it was Raven and she hurried to answer it.
”Hey girl”
”Clarke” Raven seemed out of breath.
”Whats wrong?”
”Me and Anya sort of got into a fight about you…she was a bit pissed about today and I defended you of course”
”And…?” Clarke was curious because of what Bellamy had told her earlier.
”It escalated and I am pissed as well Clarke, I am furious - no more friendly acts from us, they are playing us dirty and we should too. Enemies from now on”
”Raven…” Clarke sighed. ”We don’t have go to their level, we can be better and raise above them”
”If you want too lose Clarke?” Raven questioned her. ”Come on, I have seen how you look at Lexa, you are getting a soft spot for her and I can’t understand how - and don’t deny it. I know you better than you know yourself, we can’t forget that these people are careless and rude - they don’t care about our feelings so why should we?”
”And your feelings?” Clarke knew that it was something else that was bothering her.
”Not about me” Raven bursted out. ”She doesn’t seem to care about me anyways so…”
”Raven…” Clarke felt for her friend. ”Wanna stay at my place tonight? Mom is working a night shift, we can have a sleepover”
”Yes…I’d like that” Raven sighed. ”We have a lot of plans to make”
