Promise? [{CLEXA AU}]

Chapter Ten: New Faces

     "Clarke Griffin meet Raven Reyes."

     "Hi." Clarke stuck her hand out for raven. She denied it and pulled her in for a hug, which Clarke immediately tensed too.

     "It'll happen a lot so get used to it." Raven said pulling back from the hug.

     "So raven who are you rooming with?" Clarke asked. Raven had just gotten here, it had been a few days since Octavia and her had arrived. Tomorrow was the latest anyone could arrive, Saturday. Sunday would be orientation and an introduction for all the new students, classes would start Monday.

     "Lexa." Raven replied rolling her eyes.

      "Damn ray that sucks."

     "What's the deal with Lexa?" Clarke asked after hearing that name once more.

     "Honestly this is surprising!" Raven was wide eyed, apparently everyone knew about Lexa.

     "Raven you know she doesn't really care about that shit." Octavia defended her.

     "You're right."

     "Clarke, basically lexa's, how do I put this... royalty."

     "What?"

     "Her parents are the king and queen of Polis, a country on the other side of the world. It's small but there. Her parents sent her here, thinking it's what's best for her . But she's just a total bitch, who acts like she owns the place." Raven finished off.

     "Really didn't expect this one." Clarke really wasn't surprised at much anymore but this one really got her.

     "Trust me you'll hate her just as much once she gets here tomorrow."  Octavia pointed out.

     "I'm sorry raven but good luck." Clarke was sincere, she stole her roommate, it should be her rooming with Lexa.

     "I'll survive, nothing can destroy someone this good looking," everyone laughed. "So what do you guys want to do for the rest of the day."

     "We could go hand out at the lake?" Clarke suggested.

     "I'm down, let me go get ready and I'll meet you guys back here." Raven left the girls dorm heading back to hers. Clarke thought about what Lexa did that was so horrible her parents would send her here, a foreign country. She thought of the possibility of drugs. Another mystery to explore was why she was such a bitch. Maybe the drugs caused it, maybe she missed home, Clarke didn't understand why she was invested into this stranger all of the sudden, all she knew was it was going to be an interesting year.

The lake was breathtaking. The crystal clear water fading into a deep blue as you got further out, the warm sand. The sun was shining, it was a perfect day to be out here. A couple other students noted it was as well and were lounging around. "Race you to the water!" Raven yelled, already sprinting to the water.

"Oh no you don't!" Octavia caught up to her tackling her into the sand, this gave Clarke the perfect advantage to win. She ran into the water arms thrown up into the air.

"Look who won bitches!" Clarke shouted while they joined her in the water. Octavia and raven shared look, they nodded before turning to Clarke, who had noticed what was happening. "Don't you..." it was to late, the girls had tackled Clarke down into the water. She came up with a displeasured face, soon turned into angry as she opened her eyes, looking at the girls. "I will get you back!" The girls ran out of the water to safety away from Clarke.

"Don't worry we're too smart to let that happen" raven said as Clarke approached shortly after, taking a seat on her to towel.

"We will se about that." She gave an Evil smirk.

"Clarke I don't like that." Octavia mentioned.

"To bad." They all laughed. The rest of the afternoon went great. The girl sunbathed, before returning back to the school to shower off. Clarke had hoped they'd get a few more sunny days before the cold took over.

"Raven want to watch a movie before turning in?" Clarke shouted down the hall.

"Of course, be there in 30!"

The next morning Clarke had found another body pressed against her, well two bodies. The had all fallen asleep on Octavia's bed. Clarke checked her watch, it was 7 am. She decided to let the other sleep a little while longer and get some breakfast.

Clarke walked down to the cafeteria in her pajamas not seeing anyone else around. She saw some packages of cereal had been laid out along with toast, and fruit. She grabbed enough food for the three of them. She turned around coming face to face with someone slightly taller than her. Her brunette hair falling perfectly over her shoulder, her green orbs staring directly at her.

"So you must be the new girl."
