Dare you to love me

Get in Griffin!

Sorry that I haven't updated for a few days. I wisked my girlfriend off for a romantic weekend. Anyways, enjoy chapter 11. Don't forget to vote if you like what you read. 

Chapter 11

Lexa's POV

The rest of the girls head of onto the field but Anya and Harper stand there standing and me clearly waiting for an explanation as to how Clarke Griffin just became part of our close unit.

"Well? Are you going to explain Woods?" Harper looks pissed off but doesn't shout at me, knowing better than to get me angry.

"What? She's really good, okay and you know I put this team first before anything" It was the truth, as long as a girl can play she was welcome to try out for the team. I wanted the best and strongest team this year to ensure we win the championships.

"Harper, Lexa here is a genius." Anya cocks her eyebrow up and I dread to think what is about to come out of her mouth. She walks over to me and wraps her arm around my shoulder.

"Not only do we get a new star striker but Woods also gets closer to Griffin to win that bet that you made. Am I right?" She smirks and pats me on the back walking back over to the bench.

"Fuck, you saw right through it" I pretend to look like I had been caught out. Not really caring about the bet that I had made with Harper. However, I was excited the I would get to spend more time with Clarke.

We hear a whistle blow from the locker room door and all three of us jump.

"You three bothering or what? Coach Pike screams.

Clarke's POV

The rest of the day goes relatively quick. I make my way into the canteen looking for Lexa. Not to go over to her but just to see her face, her smile... her lips. Wow Clarke did you really just think that?

"Hey there you are" Someone taps me on the shoulder and I can tell straight away it wasn't the person that I was hoping for.

"Oh, hi Octavia, I was just looking for you" I lie.

"Come and sit with us all. We are outside by the fountain." I let her lead the way and follow closely behind her sitting down with my lunch on my knee. I can feel Raven, Lincoln and Octavia all staring at me.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" I ask, becoming more paranoid by the second.

"No, we are just waiting for you to break the news to us, superstar!" Octavia almost squeals at me. I then realise what she is about. I look down and fiddle with the sleeve of my jumper not being a fan of attention.

" Oh yeah" I act like I had completely forgotten and that it had slipped my mind. "Coach Pike wants to go along to training tomorrow and maybe get a permanent spot on the team" I quickly glance up before looking back down.

Raven comes over and squeezes me tightly, clearly more excited for me than anyone else. "I'm so proud of you. Maybe you can become captain and get Lexa kicked off the team" She laughs and the rest of the group chuckle. My stomach churns as the thought of taking away what Lexa clearly cares about a lot makes me feel uncomfortable.

"I'm only joking, sort of" Raven continues, obviously sensing that I was a bit bothered by her words. "Seriously though, just be careful around her. She has a reputation like we have mentioned before. But she will see a new girl, become close and friendly with her. Convince them to trust her and BAM! Before you know it you are being kicked out of her bed". I giggle a bit as Raven dramatically uses hand gestures to act out the story of Lexa's past history.

Why did her words bother me so much though? I wouldn't even let Lexa get close in that way. I'm not into girls and Lexa knows that. I've got the feeling from Lexa that she respects that, even if she does flirt with me slightly and I happen to enjoy it a bit... a lot... okay I love it.

I had opted against wearing Lexa's hoodie even though she said that she wouldn't mind if I did wear it. The truth was I was scared of what the other students would think. I didn't want them assuming that Lexa and I were involved together somehow.

I don't see Lexa for the rest of the day. I make my way to the bus stop as Octavia and Raven have clubs to attend after school tonight. I sit there with a few other students who are speaking to each other about the latest school gossip, when a black sports car pulls up on front of us all.

"Hey Griffin, get in!" Lexa yells over her music.

I see the other students looking at me, probably wondering if I was Lexa's latest girl victim. I could see one girl whisper something to another but I was unable to make out what was said.

"Clarke! Are you deaf? Get in the car!" She takes her sunglasses off and hollas her hand at me, signalling me to get in. I want to move but my body won't allow me to. Paranoia about what everyone else is saying is taking over my mind.

However, it's as if Lexa reads my mind as she says "Don't worry about what these jealous botches think. They just wish that they were getting in the car instead of you" She smirks and winks at another girl, who just huffs and turns around.

Fuck it! I think to myself. If Lexa is making the effort to be seen talking to me in front of other students, then I can make the effort with her.

I throw my bag over my shoulder and open the car door.

"Wow you really do know just how to speak to women don't you?" I say to her sarcastically.

I looked at her properly since I had seen her in her soccer uniform this morning. She looked gorgeous. She had ripped black skinny jeans on, a checkered green and black shirt that brought out the emerald in her eyes beautifully, with a ramones t-shirt underneath it. She has clearly done her hair since this morning on the pitch as before it was in a simple ponytail and now it was down with random braids spread throughout it.

She pushes her Ray Bans further up her nose so that I can no longer see her eyes, I miss them instantly. "You know me, Griffin. I aim to please all girls as much as I can. However, I am better at pleasing them physically than vocally". Wiggling her eyebrows at her as she replies to my comment in a half arsed seductive tone.

I sit down and slap her arm. "Shut up! Come on then, take me home taxi girl" I click my fingers at her jokingly.

"You aren't going home. You are coming to my house, just to talk about soccer drills, obviously" She smiles at me and those little butterflies come flying through me again.

"Obviously" I reply simply. "Come on then, let's see where Lexa Wood's pulls her best moves." Am I flirting with her, I think to myself? Is she flirting with me?

"I can show you some if you want?" She strokes my arm and although I know she is only joking and messing with me I can't help but feel a strange tingle as her hand touches my arm over my top. She takes her glasses off with her other hand and her piercing eyes literally touch my soul.

"In your dreams" I flick her hand off mine with my other hand and cheesily smile at her. What is this girl doing to me?

"I've got to say Griffin, that would be one hell of a dream" She looks from my eyes to my lips and back up to my eyes again. Her voice goes slightly husky as she speaks. She winks and puts her glasses back on her face.

"Come on, let's go" She states and puts her foot on the accelerator speeding away from the school and our spectators, whom I had forgotten about at the bus stop.

Did I want Lexa to dream about me? I've got to say, part of me did. Clarke what are you doing? Right now I didn;t really think about it too much or care. All I knew was that I wanted to spend more time with Lexa.
