Maybe

**Clarkes POV**

The next class day was uneventful, Lexa wouldn’t even look at her. This girl could really hold a grudge, Clarke found herself staring at her most of the time.

Class ended up going by really fast. She had decided to try and talk to Lexa once class finished and make the girl let things go. She put everything away but when she looked up Lexa was already halfway out the door.

“Lexa! Lexa! Seriously I know you hear me!”

She ran after her the other girl, which was difficult! Clarke Griffin does not run ever. She finally reached her and grabbed her by the arm.

“Do not touch me.” Lexa ripped her arm out of Clarkes grip. All of a sudden getting close to her, she couldn’t breathe again. But then Lexas name was being called, she turned to see where it was coming from, and saw Lexa visibly relax and step away. Clarke gasped for breathe seeing that girl Raven make her way towards them.

“Hey, you okay?” She put a hand on Lexas shoulder while studying Clarke. Clarke felt something weird happening in her chest watching Raven touch Lexa. She shook it off seeing the girl study her.

“And you are?”

“Clarke, Clarke Griffin.” Clarke stuck out her hand to shake.

Raven turned to Lexa searching her expression, Clarke saw Lexa nod very slightly, wondering why Raven was looking for permission.

“Raven Reyes, nice to meet you Clarke, Lexa has told me about you. You sound like a pain in the ass from what I have heard.” She laughed while shaking her hand.

“Lexa is one to talk, is she always so grumpy and mean?” Raven laughed making Clarke laugh too, she turned and saw Lexa glaring at her again.

“Yeah that’s just how she is, my little Lexi poo.” She put her arm around Lexa pulling her closer. Clarke felt the feeling in her chest again.

“If you call me that again and don’t remove your arm I will break it Reyes.” Clarke saw Raven pout at Lexa who had moved her glaring to the other brunette. Raven moved her arm while teasing Lexa still.

“Sorry babe forgot you only like cuddling when we are alone.” The feeling in her chest was seriously getting stronger, she had the urge to pull Lexa towards herself, but instead she just took a step closer.

Raven looked at Clarke when she finished talking and winked at her, then Lexa bopped her on the back of the head. “Shut up Raven or I will disown you.”

“You can’t hit a cripple Lexa, that’s so rude! And you can’t disown your best friend or who else will you talk to?” Lexa went to hit Raven again who went and hid behind Clarke grabbing her as a shield.

“Griffin get her! Call 911! Don’t just stand there she’s abusive!” Clarke couldn’t help but laugh at Raven antics. She reminded her of Octavia. They would totally get along.

“Enough Raven, I’m sure Clarke has somewhere to be, and I’m hungry, come on!” She moved around Clarke to grab Raven and begin pulling her away.

Raven was just laughing while she let Lexa pull her. Clarke turned ready to head back to her room.

“Hold on! Clarke, we are going to get food want to come?” She turned and saw Lexa shaking her head no at Raven who looked at her questioningly.  

Lexa wasn’t going to make being her friend easy but she had no choice in the matter as far as Clarke was concerned. Clarke walked over to Raven linking her arm through the other girls, maybe being friends with Raven could help her get closer to Lexa.

“I would love to eat with you Raven.” She turned and looked at Lexas surprised face and stuck her tongue out to the girl who just rolled her eyes in response.

Clarke saw that Raven was watching them with a little smirk. Raven was beautiful, she couldn’t understand how Finn would be stupid enough to hurt this girl. Clarke looked at the two friends as they walked. Raven was no Lexa though, she studied Lexas profile, moving to stand closer to her, not understanding why she felt the need to be closer.

**Lexas POV**

Raven was dead, or she would be as soon as they were alone. Lexa knew the blonde was trying to be nice to her, but Lexa was not so forgiving. She felt Clarke watching her throughout class and even on the walk to the dining room.

She didn’t understand why she was being so persistent. They just had to make sure they did their work for class that’s it. Lexa wasn’t paying attention to the conversation, she looked up trying to focus in.

“And then it went BOOM! And that’s how me and Lexa became friends, seventh grade science class. She pretended to hate me awhile but have you seen me I’m just loveable.”

Clarke started laughing loudly, making Lexa smirk slightly, the damn girl was contagious.

“So theres hope for me and Lexa then? I mean I like to think I’m loveable too, what do you think Lexa? Clarke turned to Lexa and pouted at her. Lexa focused in on Clarkes lips unconsciously licking her own. She shook her head and pretended to study the blonde, and then looked at Raven to compare who had moved closer to Clarke and imitated her face. She shrugged her shoulders, “Egh, I’m into brunettes.”

Raven full body laughed! “Sorry Clarke I have Lexas heart,” She then got up pecking a kiss onto her cheek. Lexa wiped it off right away making a disgusted face, seeing Clarke study her with a sad experession. “I’m gonna grab more food, be right back.”

It very quickly turned into an awkward silence, Lexa began playing with the food on her plate, hoping Raven would be back soon, she felt Clarke watching her again.

“Stop staring Clarke.” She looked up seeing the other girl blush.

“Lexa are we okay, I mean you never texted me back and if Raven hadn’t shown up I think you would of killed me. Come on you owe me I forgave you before, it’s your turn.”

Lexa studied her, she was being extra and she knew it, she had kicked Clarke first, she just didn’t know the blonde would take it to that level. She sighed making her decision.

“Then maybe we need to make a deal.”

She saw Clarke perk up at the idea, the light shining in her eyes. “What kind of deal did you have in mind?”

Lexa hadn’t gotten that far yet. She tilted her head to the side studying Clarke who began bouncing her leg up and down, Lexa smirked knowing that meant that she was nervous. “Let me think on it a bit and I will let you know.”

Clarke nodded, slowing down her bouncing. It was still driving Lexa crazy so she moved forward to stop, then realized she didn’t think Clarke liked being touched, so she moved back watching Clarke exhale loudly noticing that Lexa almost grabbed her. Lexa sat back, “Can you stop shaking now, nothing to be nervous about.”

Clarke nodded placing her hand on her own leg to make it stop. Lexa started tracing the design on the table looking around for Raven, when she felt warmth on her hand, she looked down seeing Clarke was touching her. She looked up questioningly, “You can touch me Lexa.”

Lexas eyes bulged making Clarke blush. Lexa let out a laugh, quickly covering her mouth, surprised by herself. “I mean umm, like, you know what I mean!” Lexa kept her mouth covered hiding her smile while Clarke tried to explain herself.

Clarke started bouncing her leg again, Lexa took her hand placing it on the girls knee to get her to stop. She looked up at Clarkes reddening face again, “Don’t worry I know what you mean.” Clarke just nodded in response.

“What did I miss here?” Lexa looked up seeing Raven raising her eyebrow at her, Lexa quickly moved her hand from Clarkes leg, shaking her head at Raven, who just smiled in response.

Clarkes phone began to ring, she quickly picked it up eyeing Lexa and Raven.

“Whats up? No, I’m eating brunch with,” She looked up watching Lexa,”with some friends. No don’t come here! I’m done now anyway.” Clarke picked up Lexas hand and was running her finger along Lexas palm lines, it gave Lexa goosebumps. Raven was watching them intently so Lexa pulled her hand away from Clarke whose eyes widened like she didn’t realize what she was doing. She mouthed the word sorry to her. Lexa just shook her head turning to Raven who had that face again. “I’m heading to my room now.”

Lexa looked up at Clarke who was watching her. “I think we need to talk anyway. We will talk in a little. Yeah bye.”

Clarke hung up the phone. She stood up, making sure she had everything. “So I have to go, thanks for inviting me to eat with you guys, it was nice meeting you Raven.” She turned to Lexa who just waited to see what else the blonde needed to say. “Umm our papers are due Friday, we should probably meet up and go over our final drafts before then.”

Lexa just nodded in response, “I will text you and we can make plans then.” Clarke smiled at her and began to walk away.

She turned to Raven who was grinning. “You like her.” Lexa rolled her eyes not this again. She wasn’t even doing anything to make it seem like she liked Clarke, so why was Raven the second person to make that assumption.

“She likes you too.”

“Raven, I have a girlfriend, and I think Clarke has someone too. So she doesn’t like me and no I don’t like her. We are friends if that, we fight too much to really be friends anyway. She’s irritating.”

“So what was that hand thing? It was cute, but well I don’t go around holding and playing with your hand. I think you’d slap me if I tried.”

“Shut up Reyes, I have to work with her for the rest of this semester, so I will play friendly if I have to. End of story.”

With that Lexa stood up grabbing her things to head out to her next class. Raven rushing to keep up, Lexa slowed a bit knowing it was mean to make Raven rush with her brace, but not enough so Raven would yell at her for it.

**Clarkes POV**

She felt like a winner, she got Lexa probably the most stubborn and probably grumpiest person she ever met to forgive her. She blushed thinking back to the whole “You can touch me comment.” She liked when Lexa touched her though, something that made her rethink herself. She just knew she liked being close to her and when she was playing with her hand it just felt natural, she shouldn’t of done it though she was pushing Lexas limit.

Things were going well, but then Finn called, Finn who seemed to have broken Ravens heart. Raven was awesome, she deserved better and Clarke hoped she would find it. It also made her realize that she deserved better too. She was done with him, and it was time to let him know.

Finn was an ass, even if he did his best to treat her well, she knew more than he let on, and to be honest the sex just wasn’t cutting it anymore. She wanted and needed something more and it wasn’t him. Plus if she really wanted to be a part of Lexas life and even Ravens she knew letting him go would make it so much easier instead of trying to hide him from them and making Octavia hide it too.

She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn’t realize she reached her room and Finn was standing outside of it.

“Hey princess.” He went to pull her in and she stepped away from him.

“Hi Finn. Lets talk inside” She opened the door and motioned for him to go in the room.

He went and sat on her bed motioning for her to sit with him, she took a seat at her desk instead trying to make this as easy as possible. He frowned at her seating arrangement.

“So who were you eating with?”

“Why do….” She thought about it a second, might as well see if she could get him to admit anything to her now. “I was with Lexa.” He rolled his eyes at that. “And her friend Raven.” He definitely looked scared.

“I don’t understand why you spend more time with her than you have to, she’s a bitch and her friend probably is too….”

“You don’t know her Finn, stop talking about her like that, and do you know Raven to say what she is like!?”

“Why do you defend her? Is there something going on here? I mean I know she is gay, what you like her or something? Do I have something to worry about?”

“I defend her because shes my friend and you are ready to put her down every five seconds. And you know what, what I feel for Lexa is none of your business anymore. We are done Finn. You can leave now.”

He stood up from her bed and went to stand in front of her, she was sitting still and had to look up to see his face.

“What do you mean we are done Clarke? You can’t just leave me like this. Do you know what I have given up to be with you? You don’t understand. We aren’t done. I love you.” He placed his hands on her shoulders and squeezed. She tried to make him let go but he wouldn’t. She stood up and pushed him away from her.

“Don’t touch me Finn, I don’t feel the way you do. You have to let go, I won’t do this anymore. I don’t want you. Please just leave.” She started walking to her door to let him out and he grabbed her wrist and squeezed tightly. She tried to pull away but his grip was too strong.

“Finn you are hurting me let go, don’t make this worse.” She kept trying to pull herself away but he wouldn’t release his hold, it felt like he was gripping harder.

“No, I won’t let you do this, I can’t I need you, you're my princess.” He pulled her closer grabbing her chin in his other hand, she tried to twist away, she was scared now, she couldn’t get away from him.

“If you don’t let go of me I swear to God I will scream.” He moved in closer to her face to kiss her when she opened her mouth ready to yell but heard voices coming from the other side of the door and then a key being put in the lock. He let go all of a sudden making Clarke stumble landing on her bed.

“I won’t give up on us Clarke, we are meant to be, I just have to prove it to you.” And with that Octavia opened the door and Finn pushed pass her without another word.

“What the fuck asshole!? Seriously Clarke dump him or I’m gonna kill him.” Octavia turned and saw Clarke sitting on the bed rubbing her wrist which was seriously red and hurt. Her heart was beating so fast, she was trying not to let her tears fall. She had never been so scared in her entire life. Who was that guy? Finn had never treated her that way, he had always been so sweet. She didn’t understand.

“Clarke?” Octavia kneeled down in front of her and lifted Clarkes chin, Clarke quickly rubbed her eyes, wincing at the pain in her wrist. Octavia grabbed her arm studying her wrist. She popped up so fast Clarke almost missed her.

“That son of a Bitch! I’m going to kill him,” Clarke grabbed her with her good arm stopping her from running after Finn.

“No O, he isn’t worth it, its over I broke up with him, please he is gone, we won’t see him again.”

Octavia just looked at her and began wiping the tears off of her face. Clarke was starting to calm down, breathing more regularly. Who was the guy that just did this to her?

**Lexas POV**

“Raven the show is starting come on!!” She was on her bed waiting impatiently.

Raven walked to the room and threw herself down when her phone began to ring. “Shit hold on….. It’s Finn.” Raven was looking at her phone very confused.

Lexas eyes widened, “Hell no Raven you are not talking to him, he’s an ass hole.”

Lexa took Ravens phone and clicked for it to ignore the call while she pulled her in close to her and tried to focus on the tv. That is until Ravens phone started ringing again. Raven was staring at it, Lexa knew if she didn’t do something Raven was going to break. She took the phone and started walking out of the room.

“What are you doing? Where are you going?” She looked up and saw Raven ready to cry, she was done with Finns bullshit in hurting her best friend.

She stepped closer to Raven, cupping her cheek, “Do you trust me?” Raven looked her in the eyes and nodded. Lexa nodded in return and walked out of the room closing the door behind her.

The phone had begun rininging for the third time. She picked it up without hesitating.

“What the fuck do you want Collins?” There was a gasp on the other end.

“You, I don’t know what you did but it is your fault! She loved me until you came along. What did you do!? I swear to God I will get her back and you won’t stand in my way!” He sounded like a crazy man.

“How the fuck was you cheating on Raven my fault! You lost her, you fucked up, don’t blame me! And don’t call her anymore she doesn’t need or want you! Do you fucking understand me?” She heard a click and the line went dead.

That boy had lost his mind. She walked back into the room tossing Raven her phone back who had brought her knees up to her chest and had her arms wrapped around her legs.

“What did he want?” Lexa sat down making Raven relax the way she was sitting. Raven was one of the strongest people she knew but Finn broke her and she was finally putting herself back together, she deserved so much better and Lexa would not let her go down that deep dark hole again, her best friend her responsibility.

“He is delusional, he blamed you guys breaking up on me somehow.” She shrugged, it just didn’t make sense.

“How the fuck?! He’s a cheating bastard who left me for another girl! Is he crazy?” Lexa chuckled.

“He is certifiable, I am sure of it.” Raven laughed at that response. Lexa put a pillow down on her lap and gestured for Raven to put her head down. Raven did and Lexa started running her hands through her hair unpausing the television.

“Now shut up this is supposed to be a good episode.”

“Lexa, thank you.”

Lexa smiled but swatted Raven in the head.  “I said shut up Reyes, one more word and you are out of here.”

Raven just laughed in response her focus going back to show.
