Confession time
”What do you think about this one?” Octavia held up an big poster with Clarke crossing her arms in a black suit, at the bottom it said VOTE FOR CLARKE in red.
”I look serious” Clarke studied it.
”You look great” Raven looked at it as well.
”It’s big” Clarke chuckled.
”It’s supposed to be, if you want people to see it” Octavia put it down. ”I have more from our little photoshoots, I placed some off you quotes on some off them”
”You’re the best” Clarke smiled. ”Thank you”
”Me and the team will help you put them up” Bellamy looked at her.
”Perfect” She thanked him.
”Okay me and Octavia gotta go to math, anything else we can do?” Raven wondered.
”No me and Bell can clean this up”
”Okay see you later”
”Thanks girls!” Clarke yelled behind them.
”You really do look great in these photos” Bellamy smiled.
”I know I need this but the idea off my face being all over the school is pretty disturbing”
”Your face has been everywhere before” Bellamy laughed.
”I know but I still can’t get used too it”
”I think you like it a little bit” Bellamy chuckled.
”Schh…” Clarke shook her head. ”Don’t tell anyone” She winked.
”HEY YOU” Anya yelled as she entered the classroom they had borrowed to prepare the posters with Lexa behind her.
”Hey guys” Bellamy greeted them and Clarke smiled shyly at Lexa.
”How did it go with the posters?” Lexa wondered.
”Can’t tell the opponent” Bellamy smiled.
”I see…” Lexa raised an eyebrow and looked at Clarke.
”You’ll see them when they’re up on the walls” Bellamy continued.
”I thought Raven was here?” Anya asked.
”She was, had to run to class” Clarke told her.
”Bummer” Anya shrugged. ”Oh well losers, gotta go”
”Can I talk to you Clarke?” Lexa looked at her.
”Yeah?”
”Alone” Lexa looked at Bellamy.
”Fine…” Bellamy grabbed his bag. ”Gotta run to practice anyway”
”Thank you for the help” Clarke smiled at him.
”Anytime” He smiled back and left the room and Lexa closed the door behind him.
”Anytime” She repeated him and looked at Clarke with a judging look. ”You still don’t believe he has a crush on you?”
”He’s on off my best friends” Clarke reached for Lexa’s hand and dragged her further into the room and kissed her. ”And I’m crushing on someone else”
”Oh really” Lexa smiled into the kiss. ”WHO?” She kissed her again.
”Tall, brown haired, smirks a lot…a great kisser…”
”Sounds like Bellamy to me” Lexa teased.
”No” Clarke smiled into the kiss. ”Bellamy has some parts my crush is missing” She chuckled.
”Okay, let’s stop talking about Bellamy while we’re kissing” Lexa shook her head.
”So…what did you wanna talk about?” Clarke wondered.
”Nothing, I just wanted you for myself” Lexa smiled.
”Well, let’s not waste it then” Clarke smiled back as she leaned in for another kiss.
Today marked an important day for Clarke, the TV screens that was placed in the hallways that was usually filled with information or announcement was now showing two names. Lexa and Clarke, she had gotten the color blue while Lexa was in red. From this day forward she would be able to see the votes on the screen, the students used an app to vote either blue or red - for now they can switch as much as they like but on the final day - once they chose an color, thats it. She was actually beginning to get a bit nervous about it, it felt more real now. All though it was still 0% on both sides, it would soon change as soon as the students started voting. Clarke knew that some people fooled around with it, pressed whatever or pressed an color to make it seem like someone was leading but on the final date change. She couldn’t fully trust it because off that.
”Are you getting nervous?” Niylah walked up to her as she stared at the screens.
”I won’t lie, I am a little bit” Clarke admitted.
”You will do great” She smiled.
”So are you really voting for Lexa with the cheerleading squad?”
”It’s a team thing…Team captain Ashley wants to make an event on the final day, make us all press the red side at the same time”
”I thought I had your vote” Clarke sighed, the whole cheerleader squad was a big win for Lexa.
”I don’t want too disappoint the team…You know I believe in you though”
”I didn’t think the cheerleading team was that into the campaign?” Clarke wondered, why have an event for this?
”I guess Ashley has a thing for Lexa” Niylah chuckled and Clarke’s smile dropped.
”Oh…”
”I guess she wants to impress her, she’s on us about this all the time and every time Lexa comes visit practice she’s being all extra about it” Niylah explained.
”I see…” Clarke didn’t want to be jealous but she hated the idea off a whole cheerleading squad worshipping Lexa, especially Ashley - she was gorgeous. ”I didn’t know Ash was into girls?”
”I guess she’s bicurious…with Lexa at least but I mean can you blame her? Have you seen that woman?” Niylah chuckled.
”Lexa is beautiful” Clarke couldn’t fight that.
”Anyway, I hope it wont be any hard feelings between us - like I said, it’s a team thing and - I really want to stay in the squad next year”
”No, don’t worry” Clarke shook her head.
”Good luck” Niylah smiled before she walked away again.
Clarke tried her best to ignore the screen until lunch where it was practically impossible not to see them, especially with the huge screen above the little stage. For now she was in the lead but it wasn’t much, 55% vs 45% and she had no idea if 10 students voted or 40 - it was a big school, it would take time for all off them to vote.
”Our girl is in the lead” Octavia smiled as she looked at the screen and placed her plate on the table.
”For now” Clarke sat down.
”We got this” Raven cheered her on.
”Hey guys” Anya and Lexa joined their table.
”Hey” Raven kissed Anya gently as she sat down next to her and Clarke looked at Lexa, they where probably both thinking the same thing - they wanted to be open about their relationship as well. Being able to behave as normal but they had decided this together.
”So I guess I have some work to do” Lexa looked at the screen.
”At least you have the cheerleading squad” Clarke muttered, yes she was a bit bitter about it.
”I hope so”
”They would die for you” Anya laughed before entering a conversation with Octavia and Raven.
”I heard Ashley adores you” Clarke lowered her voice but their friends was focused on something else.
”We get a long, that’s it” Lexa shrugged. ”So she helped me with the squad”
”You know she’s into you right?” Clarke teased her the way Lexa had with Bellamy.
”I don’t think she’s into girls” Lexa chuckled.
”That’s not what I heard” Clarke smirked.
”Oh, someone’s a bit jealous - is that it?” Lexa winked.
”You’re saying I’m blind with Bell…see how the tables has turned”
”You know there’s nothing to worry about babe” Lexa smiled at her.
”I trust you, I don’t trust Ashley” Clarke chuckled, it wasn’t a tense conversation.
”Like I trust you but not Bellamy”
”Maybe I am little jealous” Clarke admitted.
”Now you know the feeling, I wanted to punch Bellamy in the face earlier”
”Punch who?” Raven overheard them.
”No, nothing” Lexa shook her head.
”Oh, I was ready to fight” Raven laughed.
”You just want to let your inner Latina out, don’t you?” Anya smirked at her.
”She’s been calm for a while, don’t disturb her” Raven warned her.
”Trust me, I don’t want that” Anya shook her head frightened.
”No one wants that” Clarke laughed.
They finished their lunch, Clarke noticed that some students looked at them confused - as they usually didn’t even talk to each other to having lunch at the same table could be confusing. Clarke thought it was a bit amusing though, some off them had to look twice to make sure they weren’t seeing things.
At the end off the day she found herself in the library finishing some homework, she liked studying in there, she got a lot done and it was peaceful. Especially after most people left the school to go home, until now she had been completely alone in there.
”I am not surprised too find you here” Bellamy chuckled as he walked up to where she was sitting.
”I am surprised to see you here” Clarke admitted.
”Needed to get some books for an English essay” Bellamy hold them up.
”That makes sense”
”Yeah…” Bellamy sighed as she looked at her with curious eyes. ”Can I ask you something?”
”Okay?” Clarke had no idea what this was about.
”Is it something going on between you and Lexa?” Bellamy asked and it took her off guard but she tried to act normal.
”What do you mean?”
”You seemed really close on our trip, seemed tense?”
”I guess we where just getting to know each other” Clarke lied. ”It’s nice to not fight with my opponent and she was on the same page”
”Are you sure because I see the way she look at you” Bellamy didn’t give up.
”I think you are imagining things”
”So there is nothing going on? What did she wanna talk about earlier?”
”Is this an investigation?” Clarke chuckled and tried to brush it off.
”Just curious, she screwed you up before remember?”
”We are passed that” She shook her head. ”And she apologized”
”Okay..so she’s not blackmailing you or something?”
”Blackmailing? What the fuck Bell” Clarke was getting a bit frustrated now. ”She wanted to talk about some campaign stuff, nothing out to the public yet”
”Okay…” Bellamy shrugged.
”What’s your problem with her?” She asked him.
”I don’t trust her”
”You don’t have to worry about her, she’s nice…we’re getting along now”
”Why are you defending her this much?” Bellamy seemed to be a bit upset about it. ”I think you’re lying to me, there is something going on between you guys. I’m not stupid”
”And what makes you think that?” Clarke wasn’t sure how to respond, he wasn’t wrong after all.
”Like I said, I see that the way she looks at you”
”And what does that even mean?”
”She looks at you like I do” Bellamy sighed as he took a deep breath and looked at her nervous.
”Wait…what do you mean?” Clarke stopped breathing for a second, did he just? No - they where just friends.
”Clarke, you know what I mean” Bellamy shook his head and took a few more breaths to gather himself, she wasn’t used to seeing him like this.
”What are you saying?” Clarke almost whispered, she didn’t want to have this conversation - she had been sure she wouldn’t have too. Lexa had been right all along…
”You know exactly what I’m saying Clarke, I like you - always had. This can’t come like an surprise to you?” Bellamy looked at her again but she was absolutely speechless, she had no idea what to say so she just looked at him.
”Please Clarke, say something”
