Move in day
“Clarke hurry up or we will never make it” yells Raven. Clarke rolls her eyes and walks faster to the car.
“Relax Rae, we don’t have to be there until 2 and it is only 10.”
Clarke and Raven are on their way to Polis University. They became fast friends freshman year of high school. Clarke considers Raven to be her best friend, but no one could replace her childhood best friend. Lexa. Lexa and her family lived next to the Griffen family. Jake and Abby Griffen were friends with Alex and Anna Woods before either of the girls were born. They all met in college and they remained close. When they decided to have children, the Wood’s and Griffen’s bought houses next to each other in hope that their children would also be friends. Clarke and Lexa were friends since they were babies. Their parents had playdates for the girls until they were old enough and wanted to spend time together without their parents arranging it.
They did everything together, literally everything. As they got older, the closer they became. They were excited to go to the same high school. Best friends, going to the same high school, what could be better? Thats what Clarke thought until the first day of school and Lexa was no where to be seen. Clarke remembers that day like it was yesterday.
Clarke runs through the front door of the house crying. Jake is right there to hold her because he knew the reason for her tears. He saw the entire Woods family leave the house shortly after Clarke left for school. After a while, Clarke lifts her head off of his shoulder and looks at her dad
“Dad, Lexa wasn't at school. what happened?”
Jake could see the hurt and sadness in her eyes and it broke his heart.
“I saw them leave, sweetheart, but they were gone before I could even ask why”
Clarke spent that night crying herself to sleep. That happened almost every night until she met a sarcastic yet smart brunette named Raven. They became best friends, doing everything together and after high school graduation they decided to become roommates at Polis University.
Raven drove them to Polis which was only 2 hours away from their homes in DC with traffic. After sitting in a ridiculous amount of traffic they arrived at PU at around 12:30. They parked outside their dorm and decided to go find their room before lugging their stuff.
“Clarke what room are again?”
“307 but there is an elevator, thank god”
Clarke and Raven take the elevator up to the 3rd floor where they get off to look for their room. They are living on a co-ed floor so their excited to see what boys and girls live in the surrounding rooms. Both of them are bisexual but don’t let the label define them. Taking out the key, Clarke opens the door.
The room is a small dorm fit for two people. There are 2 beds on either side of the room with a window between the beds. The beds are raised so below them is a dresser with extra space to store stuff below the bed. There is a desk at each foot of the beds and a closet on each side of the door. The only problem with the dorm is that it does not have its own bathroom, the floor has a to share bathrooms.
Clarke and Raven close their door and rush back to the car to grab their stuff. They make a few trips before everything they brought resides in their dorm. Jake and Abby will be bringing the rest of the girl’s stuff tomorrow since not everything could fit in the car. They start to unpack their stuff until its almost 2 and the need to meet downstairs for their orientation. Heading downstairs and outside the building they see groups of people standing around. They join the groups and a student holding a clipboard walks over to them.
“Hi my name is Becca and welcome to Polis University, can I have your names to check you in?”
“Griffin, Clarke”
“Reyes, Raven”
“Thank you girls, you both will be in group 1.
Hope you enjoy your time here at PU” Clarke and Raven walk over to where the group 1 sign is. They stand there for a few minutes before the tour starts.
“You ready for this, Griffen?”
“Ready as I'll ever will be, Reyes.”
