The Café
Lexa's POV
Algebra went swiftly. I sat next to the hot girl, Clarke, we talked a lot. I've known her for like 3 hours, and she connects with me in a way nobody else ever could.
When the bell rang, I went to my locker and gathered my things. I was looking for Clarke, I wanted to ask her if she would come with me to get coffee after school. I finally had someone to talk to. I wanted to bond with her.
I spotted a blonde ponytail out of the corner of my eye, so I turned around and ran towards her.
"Hey Clarke!" I said, but she completely ignored me, called her name again, no response. My heart started racing, did I do something wrong? Was I annoying?
I caught up with her and tapped her shoulder. "Clarke?" I said
She turned around. Fuck.
That wasn't Clarke.
With embarrassment, I turned around and walked away. Until I ran into somebody. The actual Clarke.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," I said even more embarrassed than I already was.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." She said, which made me feel a lot better, "I saw your little mishap," she said giggling. Fuck, I could feel the blush rising onto my cheeks. "But I'm right here, did you need something?"
"Uh, I just wanted to ask if you would maybe consolidate me at the café down the street after school." Consolidate? What the hell Lexa? What the fuck was that???
She knew I was nervous, so that made me even more nervous. "Of course!" she said "What time?"
"Now is actually alright, does that work for you?"
"Sure!" she said with a smile. "Wait, I don't even know where it is."
I forgot she doesn't know her way around town. "That's okay, It's close, we can walk."
She followed me out the door, and we walked to the café, it was a cute little coffee shop on the corner. It was quiet, but it wasn't awkward, it was comfortable.
Clarke and I ordered our coffees and she tried to pay, but I wouldn't let her. I gave the cashier my car before she could even get her wallet out of her bag, and she got mad at me. But she's so cute when she's angry.
"I could've paid you know that right?" She said, glaring at me.
"I know, but I could've too, so I did." I smiled. "Am I not allowed to welcome you to Florida by treating you to coffee? It's not expensive anyway, I'm not going to go broke."
She laughed, "True, but you don't have to do this for me, I get it I'm the new girl, and everyone 'has' to be nice to the new girl, you don't have to pretend to enjoy my company." She said, her mood sinking.
"What are you talking about? Of course I like your company, I asked you to come here because I feel like we've had a strong connection from the start, and I want to get to know you more." I said, smiling, and she showed a smile back.
"Thank you Lexa, for everything, really. I don't think I've ever had a conversation like this before." She said giggling, but returning more serious. "I think we have a strong bond already, I don't want it to break."
"Me neither."
i feel like this chapter was really bad, and i could've done a lot better on it, but i'm going through major writers block right now.
and i'm sorry for the short chapter ✨again✨ but i promise the next one is going to be longer and better :)
love yous
