Chapter 2
Octavia finally chose something to wear (only took another twenty minutes)
She wore simple Blue Jeans with shirt that showed off all the right places. Clarke on the other hand was still sitting in bed begging for sleep, when jeans and a shirt got thrown at her.
“Hey!”
“What?! You can’t go looking like that, and for Christ sake do your hair woman!” Clarke looked at herself in the mirror, Octavia had a point. She began changing into the black jeans and white shirt throwing on the blue jacket on top to complete the look. But her hair on the other hand would need a lot more work. She went to the bathroom and got to work, but did not have the strength to really try. She ended up just combing it through and twisting back her hairs in the front so she wouldn’t have to push her back all day long. Her blue eyes looked swollen from lack of sleep, so she threw on some eyeliner and mascara before Octavia could yell at her again.
She looked herself over, not too bad if she said so herself looking up when she heard a knock on the door and it being opened.
“Clarke, lover boy is here!” She rolled her eyes at the name but made her way back into the shared room where she saw Finn sitting on her bed looking amused as Octavia running around making sure she looked good before leaving.
Finn looked handsome in his Jeans and button down, his long hair repeatedly getting in his eyes. He got up when he saw her and made his way to where she stood.
“You look beautiful princess.” She saw him going to kiss her lips and she turned her head slightly last second making his lips brush her cheek instead. He pulled back with question in his eyes and she just smiled and kissed his cheek in return stepping around him.
“Thanks. O, are you ready yet, the earlier we get there the earlier we can leave.”
“Clarke!!! Please don’t be a kill joy tonight, just relax and help a girl out!”
Clarke sighed, “Sorry, I will do my best to have a good time, but really are you ready yet? Lincoln is waiting for you Cinderella.”
“He is not,” she said quietly blushing slightly.
“Alright girls let’s get this party started!” Finn yelled while walking to the door.
It was a fifteen minute walk to Anyas on the other side of campus. She lived in one of the fancier places on campus, Grounder Quad. Instead of the tall Ark tower like Octavia and Clarkes room, Grounder quad was made up of houses that were separated into suites. Each suite had four bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, and living area. Only seniors really lived there.
Once in the hall of the house you could hear the party, and it actually woke Clarke up. She was ready to have some fun. She was so focused on the music that she ran right into Octavias back.
“What the hell?”
Octavia had her eyes closed and was trying to regulate her breathing. “Sorry I’m nervous, give me a second.” Clarke nodded in response even though Octavia still had her eyes closed. All of of sudden her eyes popped open, she stood taller and plastered a smile across her face and walked right into the dorm.
“WHATS UP BITCHES!?”
Clarke couldn’t help but grin widely at the outburst. Octavia started going around talking to everyone, cheering on the drinkers, grinding along with the dancers, all while looking to spot Lincoln.
Clarke slowly walked around the room with Finn trailing her trying to spot somewhere to claim as her spot for the night. She saw a space on the couch and made a bee line for it until she saw who occupied it.
Lincoln was talking to someone in what seemed to be a very animated conversation. He was talking with his hands flying everywhere and a concentrated expression on his face. From this angle she could not see who he was talking to, except that it was a girl. The girl was sitting very stiff, her back looking uncomfortably straight and tense from what Clarke could see. The girls hair went more than halfway down her back and had small braids throughout it. It was beautiful.
Clarke was pulled from her nosy staring when she felt a tug on her hand and she looked up to see Finn smiling at her. Right Finns here too she thought and then chastised herself for having that kind of reaction towards her boyfriend. He pointed to where people were dancing and tugged her hand in that direction. She smiled and nodded walking with him.
Clarke loved music and dancing. It was another form of art, and she knew how to appreciate art. So when they got to the dance floor she closed her eyes, let the music tell her body what to do and went with it. Finn placed his hands on her hips and tried to move to the music with her. He wasn’t very good, after three songs he started pulling her away from dancing. She shook her head and moved in closer to his ear, “You go ahead, I’m going to dance a little longer.” He frowned but nodded and walked towards where the drinks were. Clarke looked to see what had happened with Lincoln and the girl, but in place of the girl was a very happy Octavia and a now laughing Lincoln. Clarke smiled to herself before closing her eyes and going with the music.
Almost five songs later Clarke realized Finn should have been back by then but she could not see him. She walked around for a bit seeing if she could see him anywhere. She went to the door to check if he went into the hall, she opened the door and heard yelling. Finn was yelling.
“Will you wait a second Raven! Let me explain.”
“Explain what?! How you broke up with me a month ago without any explanation and then next time I see you, you're all puppy eyed with some new girl!? Finn we were together for almost two years!!
Clark froze not wanting to be seen, trying to catch the rest of the conversation while processing what had already been said. He broke up with that girl, Raven, a month ago? But they started dating three months ago. Was Clarke the other woman? All she knew was she was confused as hell.
“I love you, Rae, you known that, but it wasn’t the same anymore, it got too hard I couldn’t do it.”
“Yeah conveniently it got too hard for you after I got hurt, having a crippled girlfriend, I can see how that’s a downer. Go float yourself Finn.”
Clarke closed the door after that. She felt the shock in her entire body. Who was this Raven girl, and what happened between her and Finn, did he cheat on Raven with her? What was she supposed to do? Shouldn’t she feel more than just shock? Clarke just walked towards the bedrooms and leaned against one of the doors, trying to figure out what her next move was going to be. When all of sudden she was falling backwards into somebody. More accurately onto somebody.
“WHAT THE FUCK!?”
Clarke somehow managed to twist around while falling on top of someone and slamming her head into the other persons hard enough to see stars. In the fall the other person, by the sounds of yelling, a girl had wrapped her arms around Clarkes waist in an attempt to probably catch her.
When Clarke stopped seeing stars she opened her eyes and saw Green, the most amazing green she had ever seen and she couldn’t breathe because of it, well that or she hurt herself a lot more then she thought in the fall. Then she realized that green she was seeing was a girls eyes, who was definitely not happy to see her, more like if looks could kill Clarke would be dead.
“Can you get off of me!?” Clarke felt the girl pushing Clarke off of her, so she just rolled over onto the floor next to the girl and started rubbing her head, which seriously hurt like hell. She looked over and saw the girl getting up, with the same hair as the girl Lincoln was talking to earlier.
“Hey, sorry about that, I didn’t realize you were opening the door and I have horrible reflexes, are you okay?” Clarke started to stand but realized she was too close to the girl who spun around very fast catching her off guard.
Clarke jumped back, thrown off by the rage she saw looking back at her. “Can you just get out of my room!?”
“Jeeze sorry.” She started walking back to the main room chancing to look back and seeing the very angry, very bitchy girl, rub her own head in pain while closing the door again.
She sees Octavia talking to Lincoln still and walks over. Octavia looking up and eyes bulging.
“What the hell happened to your head!?”
“I fell onto some girl and banged heads with her, she by the way is a bitch. It is not like I did it on purpose! She then proceeded to yell at me and throw me out of her room.”
“Wait her room? What did she look like?” Lincoln asked trying not to smile.
“Green eyes, long brown hair, crazy scary. You were talking to her earlier” Lincoln started laughing so hard it caught Octavia and Clarke by surprise.
“You met my sister, Lexa Woods. You pissed her off and are alive to tell the tale? I’m impressed.”
“Lexa is your sister!? But she’s so…. And you’re so….. HOW?” Octavia was practically yelling.
“She’s adopted, and hey she may be a little uptight but she’s really not bad, I swear I would know, she just takes a little getting used to.” Octavia rolled her eyes at Clarke when Lincoln said this.
Just then Clarke felt arms grab around her waist and she spun around to a very happy, very much smiling Finn.
“Hey babe where have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere.”
