My alarm woke me up at 8:30 in the morning and I was tired, but excited. Like too excited. I got up, showered and picked out my best outfit. I decided on wearing my favorite ripped jeans and sneakers on my bottom half. Traveling further up I had opted to go cute, but presentable. So I went with a T-shirt that had a Superman S on it and my favorite lime green hoodie wrapped around my waist. It was now 9:00 so I headed out of my and O's dorm room. I had already known that she was not going to be there since she told me that her classes started at 8 o'clock. Once I arrived at the building where the majority of my classes would be taking place, I headed to my very first college class. I was greeted with a warm smile from Mr.Gibbs my math teacher. I reciprocated the kind gesture and moved to take my seat. As the room started to fill with more college freshman's, Mr.Gibbs started talking. He was really nice. He gave us icebreakers to do and I thought they were stupid until I found myself genuinely enjoying the company of my classmates. As soon as the bell rang I said my goodbyes to the teacher and went on my way. I had even saw Octavia a few times. Turns out we have the same lunch period. Once making sure we were allowed, we went to a nearby burger place to have lunch. I drove O and I back to school and we said our goodbyes. It was around twelve thirty and I only had one more class to get through. I was already on my way there but was stopped by one of the cheerleaders that I recognized from Mr.Gibbs's class. "Hey, what's up?" I asked wondering why she had stopped me. "Hey so I saw you in Mr.Gibbs class so I was just...erm wondering if you would wanna come to the first day party I'm throwing at my place."She said nervousness lacing her voice. "Uuhhm yeah I would love to come, but is it cool if I bring someone with me?" I asked thinking about Octavia. "Yeah of course the bigger the better. It's an open party, there's no RSVP or anything like that. Just give me your phone number and I'll text you all the details." She said. After we exchanged numbers, I headed to my last class.

As soon as I walked in, I stopped in my tracks. She was a female teacher. Her hair was an unique shade of brown I had never seen before. She had visible tattoos, from what I could see of her exposed skin. Speaking of which, I took the time to admire her shape and figure. She was wearing a black, button up top with black jeans and shiny shoes. I am guessing she must have felt eyes on her because she turned around and cleared her throat, forcing my eyes to look into her mesmerizing forest green ones and I stood there awkwardly smiling like a fool, with my feet glued to the floor. "You must be Clarke Griffin." She said her eyes not leaving mine. "Yes, that's me." I replied. She nodded and walked towards me. It made me absolutely weak in the knees, but I managed to remain standing. "If you would take a seat, once the others get here we can get started." She said. I only nodded worried that I would blurt out something incredibly and inappropriately stupid. "Clarke are you okay?" Mrs.Woods asked. Noticing that I wasn't moving from her line of sight, I mean how could I with those piercing green eyes that had a hold on me ever since she laid them on me. "Yeah just first day jitters I guess." She nodded and I could finally feel my legs and I let them proceed to take me to my seat.

Lexa POV:
I was getting my papers ready to explain what the year would consist of, and I felt a pair of eyes on me. I turned around and was met with an icy, baby blue stare roaming my body. Clarke Griffin. I had files and pictures on every one of the students but seeing her in person was just... Wow. I realized I wouldn't get anywhere with us just staring at each other. So I proceeded to walk forward towards the icy blue stare that I felt myself drawn into. We had this.. very uncomfortable but welcoming conversation and she went to take her seat. While going through the rundown of the year I would often look at Clarke. I was met with an icy, baby blue stare and a smile every time.

Clarke POV:
Mrs.Woods was going through the rundown of the year, though I didn't hear 90% of it as I was focused on her mouth and the way her lips moved, the confidence basically radiating off of her.I would occasionally get bored look and look around the room. Sure enough, When I turned my attention back to the front of the room I was greeted with forest green eyes and a wise smile every time.
