The New Girl
Clarke's POV
I remember our last kiss, it was gentle as we said goodbye. He's the only one I want, and I miss him so much. Finn Collins, my ex-boyfriend. We decided it was best to break up when my mom got a new job in Florida. The move from Washington to Florida was a long process. It took 1 day and 17 exhausting hours, my mom and I started settling in last week, my dad passed away a couple of months ago, he was killed in a shooting at his work, it was rough on my mother, but it hurt me a lot more, but I've managed to get through life without him no matter how hard it is.
Tomorrow is the first day at Polis High School. New faces, new people, not my thing, I've always been a pretty independent person, you do your thing, and I'll do mine, just don't get in my way.
I'm definitely am not looking forward to being the "new girl." Back in Washington, I knew the same people since kindergarten, and making new friends isn't something I tend to do well. I'm going to try an avoid interaction with any other humans.
I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and put on a tank-top and shorts before I went to go lay in bed. I was so nervous that I didn't fall asleep for awhile, but I finally drifted off to sleep with relaxing thoughts.

*alarm sound*
Fuck.
My alarm went off at 5:45am, I struggled to get out of bed, and doing this everyday isn't going to be fun. I got dressed into black ripped jeans, a black long sleeved crop top, and my dr. martins. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, and I put my blonde hair into a ponytail. I ran down to the kitchen to make my lunch, grabbed my bag. While heading out the door I hugged my mom goodbye.
"Have a great day Clarke, don't get into trouble!" she said with a smirk
"Thanks mom." I said, laughing before I headed out the door.
My school is only a block or two away so I could walk, I made a few wrong turns, but that's beside the point. As I approached Polis, I felt butterflies everywhere. Clarke just ignore it, just get to the office, and they'll tell you everything you need to know.
I felt a small tap on my shoulder, so I turn around. I saw the most beautiful girl in front of me. She had long black hair, and she looked about my age.
"Are you the new girl?" she asked
"Um yeah," I said. I haven't even been here 5 minutes and someones already talking to me. Fantastic.
"I'm Octavia, and this is my brother Bellamy. He's a junior" Bellamy waved. He was cute, but I'm into girls. He seemed friendly. "Sitting at the table over there are our friends Jasper, Raven, and Monty. You should join us." She said with a huge smile on her face
"I would love to," I said, but I was lying, I wasn't here to make friends. "I have to get to the office. I'll see you guys later!" I started walking, but I realized I had no clue where I was going.
"Wait! We'll take you to the office." Octavia said. I guess I have no other choice other than to let her help me.
"Thanks" I said. Octavia and Raven led the way while Bellamy, Jasper and Monty were behind us
We entered the building and walked down the hallway. "That is the cafeteria, where we eat lunch" Raven said while pointing.
"Where the hell would we eat lunch, Rae? Dumbass." Octavia said laughing.
Raven playfully punches Octavia, friendship rivalry, cute.
They continued pointing out classrooms, showing me around. From what I can tell so far is that Raven and Octavia are badasses, but they both have soft sides. Octavia is also dating one of the seniors, his name is Lincoln. Bellamy is extremely aggressive, but he's a pretty cool guy overall. Raven is also really smart, but really short tempered, and shes hella good with tools, she's a good mechanic, she's also dating Luna, she is a senior along with Lincoln. Jasper is pretty adventurous and fun, but Octavia told me he had a past with drug addiction. Monty is a genius, and he's best friends with Jasper. I might've actually found myself some friends. Great job, Clarke.
"Here we are! We'll be here when you get out!" Raven exclaimed.
"Thank you guys, I appreciate everything you've done for me." I said before walking into the office.
"Welcome! You must be Clarke, right?, I'm your principal Mr. Jaha." The man said with a rather soothing voice.
"Yeah, that's me." I stuttered nervously.
"How do you like it here so far? Have you found everything?
He sure has a lot of questions.
"I met a few people who have showed me around. It's really nice, I'm excited to be here, I'm really looking forward to the art program" I said with a smile.
"I'm glad you're making friends quickly! Here's your schedule an have a great first day!"
"Thanks, you too!" I say exiting the office.
As promised, they were waiting outside of the office for me. I look down at my schedule. "I have Algebra 1 first, do you mind showing me where it is?"
"Nope, not at all! I have Algebra as my first class also, try staying on the teachers good side though, or he'll be super strict"
I made it through the first 2 periods smoothly, I barely remembered how to get to the cafeteria so I walked around the school looking like an idiot until I found it.
I met up with Raven, Octavia, Jasper, Bell and Monty for lunch, we sat at the same lunch table and they threw a bunch of questions at me and kept asking me how my day was going so far. I felt that someone was standing behind me, I turned around and saw a brunette girl with piercing green eyes.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"You're the new girl everyone has been talking about then? You're pretty." She said with a smile. "I'm Alexandria Woods, but call me Lexa."
This is my first story, so it probably isn't great, but let me know what you think of it!!!
Don't worry I won't kill Lexa, Lincoln, or Luna like Justin Ratenbooger did, I could rant for hours about him, but i don't want to bore y'all so.
Thanks for reading :) I'll probably have chapter 2 posted later today, or early tomorrow morning because it's already in the making ;)
love you's
