Lexa POV

Today has gone pretty well considering I was expecting it to be a disaster. I loved Historical Medicine, it's just amazing. I loved my second class which was PE: Martial Arts, for some reason I'm pretty good at it, maybe I'm the reincarnation of some master of fighting. I could be destined to lead an army into battle, I'm probably not but a girl can dream. For the last 2 hours of school I had Clan history, which is a subject that my old school didn't offer. I got put in it by Jaha as it was the only class with a free space other than Drama, which I would suck at as I'm no good at talking. Clan history is mostly reading old scriptures and looking at stories about this mythical land created by some famous person I can't remember the name of, Anya  something or other. She made up this story about these 12 clans who formed after the world was hit by nuclear missiles which distorted the Earth. The 12 clans where made up of those who survived. There's the Wood Clan, The Boat People, the Ice Nation, Desert Clan and the Nomadic's which where a group of people who had mutations which meant they got sent away. I can't remember the rest of them but it's really exciting. Anya had a great mind, she would of been so cool to know- she was really smart and a Badass!

Schools over so I head out to the schools exist and wait for my parents to pick me up. School finished about 45 minutes ago and they are still not here. Finally I see my mum drive up in our battered small blue golf. She gets out of the car to move the front seat for me to get in to the back, before I can get in she holds on to my arm making me look at her.
(Remember anything in ** is Signed)

*How was your first day?* My mum asks. I look around to see if anybody was around. The schools entrance and school was completely empty of people from school.
*It was okay after I got over the initial fright of the new surroundings* I explain.
My mum looks kind of hurt that I was hesitant to sign.
*You can sign in public Lexa. Just like people can talk.* my mum says moving out of my way to let me in the car.
"Urrr" I sigh verbally.
As I get into the back of the car my Dad turns around and smiles at me.
*Lexiebo I hope you've had a good day. Just ignore your mum. I get it.* He signs to me so that my mum couldn't see and makes a mocking/frustrated face.
*I love you Dad* I say laughing at him.

My house is about 25 minutes from the school, about 15 minuets into our journey my Dad turns around and gives me my phone that was on charge in the front of the car.

*It just flashed. It's and unknown number?*

*Thanks Dad* I say taking my phone from him. I open up the message.

Hey fellow Star Wars fan it's Clarke. I was wondering if you wanted to do our project plan tomorrow after school?

For some reason it made me really happy that Clarke messaged me. But how does she know I like Star Wars? I take my doodling piece of paper out of my pocket to see that I ripped my doodle of BB-8 in half. I was kind of gutted about ripping my sketch to be honest, it's the only one that I've truly liked. But I suppose it was worth it for Clarke to have my number. I snap out of my train of thought when my phone flashes again. I open the message up:

Oh and R2D2 is soooo much cuter than BB-8. The only thing cuter are the little small dark side droids (I don't know what they are called XD) So my house, tomorrow after school?!

I giggle to myself, Clarke is really cute she's such a nerd but it's so lovely to hear her talk about things she loves. Just think about the hours of conversations we can have about just Star Wars alone! The thought of talking to Clarke for hours, even about useless rubbish made me extremely happy.

I tap my dad on his shoulder to get his attention.
*I have a project for Historical Medicine which is paired. Can I go to my partners house after school to do the plans for it tomorrow please* I ask this using the best puppy dog eyes I could, they always seem to work on my dad.
He turns on to my mum waiting for her response. As we drive into my drive way my mum turns of the engine and gets out. She pulls the set letting me out and looks at my Dad then back to me.
* Do we know your partner? Is it a boy? Where does he live? Is he a good student?* She bombards me with questions.
*Mum* I sign several times trying to get her attention but she carries on to ask more questions and make assumptions. I slam my hand onto the top of the car to get her attention.
* HER name is Clarke* I sign forcefully. * It's and oral presentation and I could do with all the help I can get. Being Hard of Hearing isn't to fun in oral projects. Yes I can hear the background and what people really close to me are saying but nothing else. So I'm going to go to my new friend Clarkes house and I will then nail this presentation. Even if I have to find my own way of doing it. Okay?!* I was a bit harsh on how I was being with my mum but she just needs to be more relaxed with it. I can handle school, well I hope I can. She just smothers me to much.
*Okay!* she signs and walks of into the house not saying anything else to me and my dad.

I open up my phone and message Clarke back.

Hey Clarke :) Tomorrow sounds good, just give me your address tomorrow and I'll be there about 5 if that's okay?! But BB-8 is sooo adorable! To be honest with you I kind of find the Battle Droids really cool even though most people hate them :')

I close the messaging app and go onto my contacts. I save Clarke's number using the name R2D2. I think it's kind of cute and fitting for her. Once I had finished smiling and giggling to my self on the front door step I open the door and walk inside my house to apologise for snapping, it's been one hell of a day.

Hey guys please comment and tell me what you think, I'm not sure if you're liking my style or not so just let me knowwwww!
I hope you don't mind all the Star Wars references as well as the The100 ones too. 😂
Thanks for reading!
Chloe :)
