truth is... I am in love with you

Part 7

'So you're not going to pay me?' Costia asks.

'Nope,' Lexa says.

'You do know what this means right?' Costia asks.

'Yes I do,' Lexa says. Costia rolls her eyes and then storms out of Lexa's apartment.

'I'll talk to the school tomorrow and tell them about our relationship,' Clarke says while letting go of Lexa.

'You don't have to. I can do it if you want,' Lexa says.

'They won't believe it if it doesn't come from me,' Clarke says. 'Besides I graduate in a month.'

'So you're dating Miss Woods,' the man behind the desk said.

'Yes,' Clarke says. 'Look it started before she started teaching here,' she says.

'I believe you,' he said. 'You're in your last semester. Miss Woods wasn't supposed to start here until next year. You couldn't have known. And it's your personal life not mine,' he said.

'But the rules,' Clarke says.

'The rules are a bit different than told,' he said. 'If other students aren't harmed by your relationship it's fine.'

'But isn't there some sort of breakup rule thing?'

'If Miss Woods and you break up and she gives you bad grades for that she'll be fired,' he says. He gets up to shake her hand. 'Thank you,' she says.

'So?' Octavia asks. Clarke looks at her confused. 'How did it go?' Octavia asks.

'How did what go?' Clarke asks. Octavia groans.

'Lexa told us,' Raven says.

'Told you what?' Clarke asks.

'That you two were going to tell the university,' Raven says.

'Oh that,' Clarke says.

'Did it go bad?' Octavia asks.

'No it went well,' Clarke says.

Clarke was having some friends over that night. She invited Lexa too but she had some work to catch up on.

'Why is our teacher here?' Bellamy asks. He gave Lexa a dirty look when she entered the room.

'Please just call me Lexa,' she says.

'If you're here for that missing assignment you should know that I have a personal life,' Bellamy says.

'So do I,' Lexa says with a smirk on her face. She plops down next to Clarke on the couch and wraps an arm around her.

'I thought you were going to break up with her,' Bellamy says.

'Are you breaking up with me Griffin?' Lexa teased.

'Oh shut up,' Clarke says as she playfully hits Lexa.

'Someone is a bit jealous,' Raven says.

'I'm not jealous! It's just against the rules,' Bellamy says defensively.

'It isn't Bell. I checked,' Clarke says. 'I'm not a child,' she says.
'Clarke you're 17 you shouldn't be sleeping with her,' Bellamy says.

'I'm 19 and my personal life is none of your business,' Clarke says.

'Bellamy just say you're jealous and go,' Octavia says.

'She's way older than you,' Bellamy says.

'Can we please drop it,' Lexa says.

'But,' he starts.

'Shut up,' Octavia says.

'I'm protecting Clarke,' he mumbles.
