Better Than Him

Chapter XXXIV

The door to the bedroom flung open and loud clanging filled the room. Clarke and Lexa both woke up abruptly. Clarke saw three girls coming into her room banging pots together. They started to sing happy birthday. Before she could identify the three girls, Lexa pulled the blankets over her head.

"Raven and whoever else is in here, go away!" Lexa said, from under the blankets. "It's too early!"

Clarke peaked out from under the covers and saw Raven, Luna and the future princess of Trikru, Octavia. "Since when are you three friends?" Clarke asked, motioning to Octavia.

"Since three am." Raven said, putting her arm around Octavia. "We met in the kitchen." Clarke sighed and pulled the sheets back up. Then it hit her. Lexa and her were naked in bed with each other. "Wait." Clarke's eyes widened.

"Oh I've known about you two." Octavia said, rocking her and Raven back and forth. "You two aren't very secretive." Clarke glared at Raven. "She didn't tell me anything, I just started talking about you and Lexa to them."

"She speaks the truth." Luna said.

Lexa grumbled and cuddled closer to her. Luna walked over to Lexa's side of the bed and softly banged the pots together. "I'll fucking kill you." Lexa snatched the pot from Luna and tried to wack Luna with it. "Go away unless you have food."

"Acutally, your father wants to know if you want to have a breakfast together or just breakfast sent to your room." Raven said, as Lexa was still trying to beat Luna up with the pot. Luna had moved out of Lexa's reach.

"Send it here." Clarke said. "And also send Lexa's." Clarke grabbed Lexa's arm and took the pot from her. "You are very violent this morning."

"She's pissing me off!" Lexa protested. Luna stuck out her tongue. "You are so lucky I am naked right now."

"Lulu, let's go." Raven said, jumping on to Octavia's back.

"I told you not to call me that in front of people!" Luna groaned, following Raven out the room like a puppy.

Once they left, Clarke turned to spoon Lexa. "Why are we friends with them?" Lexa asked. Clarke shook her head, not knowing the answer.

Breakfast was served a while later. Lexa just hid in the bathroom why the food was getting dropped off. After the food was on the table, the two of them got dressed and then started to eat. Clarke got a slice of cake with her breakfast, since it was her birthday. They both wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of the morning because they both knew that once it hit party time, there was gonna be pure chaos.

The clock struck 3 pm. That meant Abby and all of the other girls would be helping her get ready for the party. Clarke had directions to a room, she didn't know what the room was but she could guess they were going to be getting ready in that room. She wasn't sure why they needed their own room to get ready.

Clarke was walking down to the room, trying not to get lost. Luckily it was pretty straight forward and only had a couple turns. She knocked on the door, hoping she wasn't knocking on a random person's door.

The door swung open and Abby pulled her into the room. "Happy birthday, Clarke!" Abby said, hugging her. "How do you feel? Older? Younger? The same?"

"The same." Clarke said, looking around the room. The room was a big rectangle. There was a curtain blocking about a fifth of the room. There were mirrors and tables scattered neatly around the room. It was like a dressing room for actors in theater but just bigger and fancier. That was the best way to describe it.

Everyone was already there. Abby, Becca, Raven, Lexa and there were a few other women in there to assist. "Birthday girl is here!" Raven said, running over to Clarke. Raven wrapped her in a hug.
