Clexa College AU

Chapter One

Lexa Pov
I am practically falling asleep trying to study for the upcoming test in my basic aquatic animal class. I am a Junior at Arkadia State University studying environmental science. Hopefully when I graduate in a little over a year I can work at a national or state park depending on where I want to live at the moment. This class has been taking up all my free time since the start of the semester and I can't wait for it to be over. I usually love most of my classes but the professor makes this one way more difficult that he needs to. But it's fine I just need to pass a couple more tests and I will never have to take a class with him again.

I get back to reading my notes and by the time I am done it's 2 am. Great now I am probably going to fall asleep in class tomorrow and be even farther behind. I start closing all my notebooks and folders while packing them back into my bag. Once that's done and my bed is cleared again I can finally close my eyes and do the thing I have been thinking about since I opened them this morning.

Just when I drift off a rapid nocking sounds on my door. I just roll over and cover my head with my blanket. Next year I am moving farther away from the dorms. I live in what my friends call the 'shityies and smallest' house near the college. In reality it's more like a shed but I was not spending another year in the dorms. Freshman year was full of parties but Sophomore year I really needed to get my school work done but it was a lot harder with people constantly being loud. So this year I rent this 'house' from a sweet old lady who lives in an assisted living place farther into town. Still I can't get away from the noise. Drunk kids are constantly nocking on my door thinking they are somewhere else.

I have gotten pretty good at ignoring it but this time it is constant and keeps getting louder. I reluctantly get out of my warm bed and make my way to the door getting ready to tell someone off again. Just when I am about to open the door it stops. I turn around thinking I got lucky when I hear a big bang against the sideing outside. For fuck sakes. Now I am pissed, with a noise that loud it was bound to leave a dent I will have to pay for.

I swing the door open and step out. I am shocked when I see a blond girl pushed up against my house with a boy yelling in her face. He is saying all sorts of mean things to her but I don't let him finish another full sentence before grabbing the back of his collar to pull him away. "What the fuck do you think your doing?" I yell at him as I pull him back. He has a handful of her hair and just pulls her with him. The blond is struggling to say something but gets out "Fin please I won't do it again I promise" he responds by hitting her across the face and saying "did I tell you to speak you whore."

I can't believe he actually just hit her. I take a step between them trying to deescalate whatever is happening on my front lawn. "Ok why don't you relax" I say to the brown haired boy. "Move" he says while trying to get past me to the girl behind me. "This is between me and her alright" I continue moving into his way. I have a bad feeling that whatever was happening between them will only get worse if I don't intervene. "Clarke come here I won't hurt you more than you deserve ok" more than she deserves, what the fuck is wrong with him.

I take a couple steps back and put one hand behind me. It touches the girl behind me who isn't making any attempts to go with the boy. I gently push her with it trying to get her to back up with me. "You should go home for the night and just call her in the morning when you both have cooled off" he's the one who needs to check himself but I am guessing he doesn't want to here that. I turn around and put my hands on the other girls back to get her to walk with my to the door.

She doesn't protest and comes with me. I am guessing she was nocking hoping that there was a chance someone would let her in to get away from the boy. We reach my front step when the boy I now know is named Fin reaches around me and grabs her arm "Clarke stop fucking around and just come back to my dorm. I forgive you ok just come back and we can pretend it never happened" I can see her moving her arm in an attempt to get away but stops after taking a sharp breath in. It probably hurts to bad for her to move it. I don't know what came over me but I clench my fists at my side and then my right hand connects with his jaw. It sends a shooting pain threw my hand while he is bending over from the pain.
