Make a bet on my tender heart

Chapter 2

There's probably not one point in Clarke's life that she can point out to and say that she's more tired than she is right now. Her head is spinning and she's gladly letting in the wonderful smell of flowers and strawberries. Her neck hurts and can feel it continue to do so as she feels something shifting underneath her head. Slowly and so heavy her eyes starts to open by the move and the soon clearly voice appears in her ears.

The voice is soft and sounds so careful. It takes a while for Clarke's eyes to open and adjust to the environment around her but as soon as she does she's met by two green eyes looking down at her.

'' Sorry, didn't want to wake you but I have another class to go to. '' The soft voice says but Clarke's all lost of words. She's drowning in the eyes of the brunette and not one word seems to want to come out of her mouth. It's as soon as Lexa starts to carefully get free from Clarke's touch and wanting to stand up that Clarke realizes that her head is still resting against Lexa's shoulder. Quickly she moves away and stands up at the same time as Lexa does so.

'' Sorry. '' Clarke mumbles out to the brunette. Not being able to form any other word. Has she been sleeping on Lexa's shoulder during the entire class. How embarrassing isn't that. If Lexa didn't think Clarke was annoying before she probably does now. How can you fall asleep in the middle of a class and on Lexa Woods shoulder. Lexa fucking Woods. Clarke hadn't even realized that she took the seat next to Lexa, she was just so tired. Octavia kept her up all night, sleeping in the same bed as Octavia Blake is probably one of the dumbest ideas ever. She's a kicker and Clarke's sure that she probably has bruises all over her body from last night.

Clarke just stares at Lexa, studying every little detail of her. She's never been this close to her before and she thinks she's only heard her talk once before and that's when they said their polite hello's to each other  when they first met and found out that they were going to share room. Clarke let her eyes wander up and down over Lexa's body. She's wearing skinny jeans, a white t-shirt with a black flannel shirt over it. She has her hair up in a messy bun and also a black backpack made out of skin that she soon throws over her right shoulder. 

Their eyes  meets again for a second and this time Clarke can't help but notice how incredibly green and beautiful Lexa's eyes really are up close. Clarke let's her eyes slowly wander over Lexa's face, down to her lips, her chin, her cheekbones and then up again at her nose, eyebrows. Trying to take in every little detail of the brunette as fast as possible.

'' I'll see you around. '' Lexa suddenly breaks the silent which makes Clarke to immediately snap back and turn her gaze up to Lexa's eyes. Was she looking too much, for too long? Did Lexa notice how much she was staring. Because it felt like Clarke was staring at Lexa for an eternity. 

'' Yeah, uhm, see you around. '' Clarke mumbles out feeling how the words probably came out as bad as she thought as she makes the way free for Lexa to walk past her. 

God this is probably some news Raven and Octavia would love to hear about. Should she tell them? Clarke knows that if she does she'll probably never hear the end of it. How the hell could she fall asleep on Lexa Woods and how awkward isn't it going to be once she gets back to her dorm. She knows that she can't avoid Lexa forever. She's going to spend three years in the same room as the brunette for god sakes. 

Quickly Clarke looks down on what she's wearing herself as she realizes that she doesn't even remember putting on any clothes this morning. Lucky though she has, she's wearing her jeans, a black t-shirt and her black leather bag did she bring too. It wouldn't have been a surprise for Clarke if she still would be in her pajamas, and that'd be a good way to make a good impression on Lexa Woods wouldn't it. Luckily though it didn't happen and Clarke is fully clothed. A sigh escapes her lips before she throws her own bag over her shoulder and follows the rest of the students out of the auditorium. 

---------------------------------

'' Oh my god are you serious??'' Raven almost screams out the words and Clarke can clearly feel all the eyes towards their table. 

'' Shhh! '' the librarian hushes from beside her desk. Clarke can start to feel the nervousness grow inside her body and how her cheeks turns red. She probably shouldn't have told them, now this is everything she'll ever hear about, how Clarke Griffin fell asleep on Lexa Woods in their first class together. 

'' What did she say? '' Octavia soon fills in, in a tone somewhat lower than Raven did earlier. 

Clarke can feel how her heart starts to beat faster but how her body at the same time completely freezes. 

'' I don't know, I.. I just. She just told me that she had  another class to go to. '' Clarke mumbles out almost stumbling on every word that leaves her dry mouth. 

A few laughers is shared between Raven and Octavia and Clarke can feel how much she regrets telling them this. Carefully she glances around in the library making sure that no one is too close to over hear their conversation before she puts her elbows down on the table in front of her leaning in closer to Raven and Octavia who's sitting on the opposite side of the table. 

'' Look, I don't think she's as bad as you guys think she is. ''  Clarke whispers to her friends and can immediately notice how Raven's eyebrow raises by the words coming out of Clarke's mouth. 

'' I'll believe it when I see it. '' Octavia fills in with a small laugh. Just the sound of it makes Clarke slightly irritated. Once you get to know Lexa Woods she's probably one of the greatest people to hang out with, at least Clarke believes so. 

'' Let's make a bet, if you can become friends with Lexa in one week Octavia and I will do whatever you want for the rest of the semester. But if you fail, you'll do whatever we tell you to do. '' Raven says with that teasing smirk on her lips and with her raised eyebrow. 

Clarke can clearly feel everything twist inside her. She knows that it's wrong to make a bet on people but right now she just wants to prove Raven and Octavia wrong. If she want to she could become friends with Lexa Woods, they'll see.  Clarke glances down at the hand Raven holds out in front of her, waiting for Clarke to take the deal. 

She swallows the lump in her throat before she place her hand in Raven's.

'' Deal. '' Clarke let's out as she shakes Ravens hand.
