Straightforward
Lexa's POV
I didn't realize how loud I was until I noticed the crowd that was around us. I was slightly embarrassed for making such a scene but it was worth it to see the most speechless look on Bellamy's face.
Clarke then grabbed my arm and dragged me down the hallway, I could tell she didn't like the attention, once we were alone, she turned to me and thanked me. Her hand was still holding onto my hand, and I couldn't help but blush.
"You really didn't have to do all that." she said.
"It's okay, I wanted to." I replied. "He was treating you like an object, just for your looks, that's not okay."
She smiled, and then the bell for first period interrupted our little moment. "See you in class." she said.
"See you in class." I smiled.

During lunch I sat alone with Clarke, and we talked as much as we did at the coffee shop. You would think we would run out of things to talk about, but it's the exact opposite. She kept thanking me for standing up for her, but it wasn't a big deal.
We talked about how shallow men could be, and I found it hard to relate to her with men, because I'm a known lesbian, so guys don't even try with me. Not everyone accepts me, but I could honestly care less.
Clarke kept talking about men, just men. I got a bit nervous because my gaydar was screaming "straight as fuck." So I decided to go ahead and ask her.
"Are you straight?" I asked. She shifted in her seat a little bit and she seemed uncomfortable with this topic. I mean, most people are. Maybe I was a little blunt with that question. "Sorry if that was a little straightforward, you don't have to answer."
"It's okay." she said "I'm bi."
I smiled proudly. "I'm sure you already know how gay I am."
She laughed, "Yeah, it's not really a secret around here."
I couldn't help but smile, the girl I like isn't straight, she knows I'm gay, and we get along well. This day started off shitty, seeing Bellamy kiss Clarke, but now it couldn't get any better.
I hadn't realized I was daydreaming until she was slapping my arm. "Lexa! Look how cute this is!" she said, showing me her phone. Damn it she's so cute.
Clarke's POV
After lunch I had study hall, which happened to be with Octavia, Bellamy, Raven, Monty and Jasper. Monty and Jasper were off doing their own thing, so I decided to approach Raven, Bell, and O. I know dealing with Bellamy isn't the smartest idea at the moment, but they're the only close friends I have, well, besides Lexa of course.
I sat down in an empty seat next to Octavia. "Hi" I said.
Octavia looked up and smiled, while Bellamy had his eyes glued to his work, Octavia greeted me, "Hey Clarke! I think Bell has something he wants to say." She nudged Bell and he looked up from what he was doing.
I braced myself, expecting something not so good to come out of his mouth, instead, I got an apology. "I-I'm sorry, I never should have been so quick to make a move, I know you're not just 'pretty' and I should've treated you better than I did, I hope you can accept my apology, and we can start over."
I smiled at his thoughtfulness, "I forgive you Bellamy, and I would love to start over."
He looked relieved, Lexa must have scared him shitless this morning, and I knew that his apology was genuine, I don't think of him the way he thinks of me, but I wouldn't mind being friends with him.
I chatted with Octavia, Raven, and Bellamy for the rest of the period. They're amazing friends and it was nice to get to know them better, but they just don't compare to Lexa. There's just something about her, I can't put my finger on it, but it makes her stand out from everyone else.
Finally the bell rand, and I gathered my books, checking my schedule for my next class. My face lit up when I saw that it was English, my only class with Lexa.
I ran down the hallway, and took the same seat as yesterday in the back of the class, waiting for Lexa. She entered the room and looked around until our eyes locked. I motioned her to come sit next to me.
"Hey" she said, sitting down and placing her books down.
"He-" I started.
"Okay class, pay attention, and stop the side conversations!" the teacher interrupted. I didn't even get to talk to Lexa.
"For our first big assignment, we're going to do the project in pairs!"
I heard some murmuring around the room, I looked at Lexa and she was already looking at me.
"Wanna work together?" She said with a smile.
"Of course." I responded. I really appreciate that she chose me, It may have been out of pity, since I'm the new girl.
"Class!" The teacher yelled, and the class went silent. "You didn't let me finish, I will be choosing your partners."
The class let out a groan. I was also disappointed, because this really lowered my chances of being with Lexa.
"Okay, let's start with you, new girl...Carolyn?"
"Clarke," I corrected her my cheeks boiling.
"You seem to be getting quite friendly with Miss Woods over here, so I'm going to put you two together, and maybe you can keep her out of trouble."
I was so relieved and happy, the teacher continued to match students, and then started explaining the project.
"This is too much work to be done in class, so you're going to have to work on this at home like it or not."
I smiled, because this would be a great excuse to hang out with Lexa.
"Hey, do you want to come over and work on this after school?" I asked
"Sure." She said smiling. "But I drove here, and I can't leave my motorcycle at school, can I give you a ride back to your house?
Motorcycle? I sure as hell wasn't getting on it. "It's okay, I'll just walk"
"No, I'm giving you a ride" she insisted. "If you walk, I'll be waiting twenty-minutes for you, besides I don't even know where your house is."
"Fine, but I get to wear your helmet."
"Deal"
