Day 8
"Raven you did not do that. Please tell me you didn't do that." Lexa looked at the blonde girl who limped by, having a bandage wrapped around her entire right calve.
"She deserves it, Lexa and you know it."
"No Raven, just because she's said a few things you didn't like doesn't mean she deserved to be hit by Bellamy's jeep." The mentioned blonde suddenly looks over their way and Lexa is immediately thrown off. The blonde girl actually looks...sad?
"Raven? I- I wanted to apologize." Clarke says, sounding defeated. Raven smirked, and leaned forward.
"Did you now?" Raven gives Lexa a Would-you-look-at-that look. The green eyed girl wants to roll her eyes at how her best friend can be so full of herself at times.
"Yeah, I've actually been wanting to apologize for awhile. I was being completely obnoxious when we first met, and I felt like that wasn't very fair of me to judge you so quickly." Raven motions for Clarke to go on. "I wanted to say that I'm sorry...for believing that you could be a decent person."
Lexa's eyes widens and so do Raven's.
"You know I was actually on my way to the hospital when your buddy hit me. Twice. You're really going to stoop as low as injuring someone while they are on their way to volunteer? If you want to think I'm a terrible person then maybe you should redefine what terrible means to you cause obviously you are the biggest hypocrite I've ever had the dishonor to meet." Clarke glares angrily and walked off. Lexa couldn't help but notice that the blonde didn't smirk like she usually does, which makes her feel off.
"She could have said that she was going to volunteer just to make you feel bad." Octavia pipes up, looking to Lexa for backup.
"It would make sense though. If she was volunteering. She once told me she wasn't afraid of me beating her up because her mother works in the hospital." Raven says, looking guilty for a second before rolling her eyes. "Whatever."
Lexa frowns slightly and looks in the direction that the blonde had walked to. "Whatever."

Day 8
So maybe it wasn't the best idea to tell Raven off in front of everybody. But it was totally worth it! Especially to see how Lexa looked so guilty for something she didn't do. The only problem, Finn, is that nearly twenty three assholes shoved me into a wall or locker, and class hasn't even started yet. At least they didn't throw slushies at me like they do in glee.... Okay scratch that last part because someone just dumped their ice coffee down my back and trust me, it is not pleasant.
Clarke groaned and shoved the girls bathroom door open, glaring at the freshman and removing her shirt without warning. The two freshman look in horror and the blonde scoffed when she heard one of them whispering that she was going to rape them.
"I have standards that neither of you meet. Now leave before I decide that I should take off my bra." The girls scrambled out of the room and Clarke laughed, wetting a few paper towels and attempting to reach her back.
"What do you want, Raccoon?" The blonde looked up and through the reflection of the mirror she saw Lexa.
"Do you want some help?" Lexa asked, still harboring a guilty look.
"No thanks, I'd rather not have some weird drawing on my back."
"Why do you think that everytime someone wants to help you it's some sort of prank? Why can't you accept that I actually want to help you?" The brunette asked, raising her voice slightly in a desperate tone.
Rule...probably 5 or 6:They are lying
It is always some kind of prank, Finn! They act guilty about something, offer to help you, and then throw you into a water-filled ditch once you feel safe enough to trust them. You know that saying "shoot first ask questions later"? Basically you have to do that when someone offers help. If they survive the shot, then maybe you can give them a chance to prove they actually want to be trusted. But knowing most people they don't care if I trust them or not. So...in my case I'm just gonna keep shooting until I know they won't survive.
"Because all of you popular people are the same! Why do you care so much? Just leave me alone." Clarke started to wipe off a part of her shoulder, only to stop when the paper towel was suddenly taken away from her. She jumped when she felt her back getting cold and wet.
"You don't trust people easily, I get that. I used to be the same way." Lexa had one hand on the blondes shoulder and was using the other to gently wipe off Clarke's back. "But trust me when I say that you can't live life that way. You need to let someone in."
"Yeah, sure cause that's worked out so well for me." Clarke took the hand on her shoulder and removed it, spinning around to face Lexa. "Thanks for your concern, but I don't need it."
"You will need it." Lexa went over to where she had dropped her bag and opened it, pulling out a shirt and tossing it at Clarke. "If you change your mind, I'm sure you'll know where to find me."
Clarke watched as Lexa left the bathroom, biting her bottom lip before pulling the shirt over her head.
Thanks to Raccoon I had girls/girls/boys stuck in my head all day. And the image of Bredon Urie practically naked. Also I screwed up again Finn. I was actually debating on whether I should or shouldn't trust Raccoon. She just seemed...
Sincere.
I know she's probably only acting. But that's also a problem. She must be one helluava actress.
The blonde spent two of her classes mouthing the words to the song stuck in her head, only stopping to occasionally call someone an idiot for stating an obviously wrong answer to a simple question. At lunch she made sure to sit as far from the trio (mainly Raccoon, but she wouldn't admitted it if asked. Hell, she even refused to tell Finn.) as humanly possible and kept her back towards them.
She spent the rest of the day repeating the same process as the morning, only this time throwing out cruder insults (with the occasional cuss word) and getting scolded by her teachers several times. She was left alone by Raven for once and Lexa didn't bother to even look in her direction, or so she thought.
The green-eyed brunette actually couldn't keep her eyes off of Clarke, only looking away at any sign that Clarke might look in her direction. She knew Raven could see her staring at the blonde, but most of her didn't really care. There was just something about Clarke that didn't make any sense at all, and Lexa wanted to know what it was.

42
"Shit." Clarke mumbled, getting up and searching around her room.
Do you remember when I told you about that girl I met while volunteering? Well the thing is, she has a heart condition that's pretty messed up. Some days she'll be fine and others she'll be in so much pain it hurts me just to think about it. We call those days 42.
To:Unknown
I'll be there as soon as I can.
Clarke pulled on a sweatshirt and threw on her worn-out converse before shoving her phone into her pocket, shouting out a lame excuse as to where she was going to her mother.
She's got no one, Finn. During the five days I've volunteered absolutely no one has come by and visited her. No Family, friends, no one. Shes kind of like me in that sense. She hasn't even told me her name. All I know is that it says Woods, A. on her medical bracelet and that she likes some girl group called Little Mix. That part is weird because she doesn't seem like the type to like that kind of music, but then again there's not much I can say about her...
Which is why she might be the perfect person to trust! Thanks Finn, this talk has really helped.
