Kiss me, Not

The Gratification

*A month later*

"Clarke?"

Raven gave Octavia a look.

"Uhh Clarke... Do you want my pudding?"

Octavia pushed the girl's favorite snack and looked back at Raven uneasily. Their knees bounced in anxiousness as they watched their dear friend fall into pieces. It was torturous to watch. It was as if a Dementor just walked past and sucked the life and soul out of the table.

Raven nudged Clarke.

"Hmm?"

"Clarke its been a month," the brunette mumbled desperately.

Clarke didn't respond but buried her face on her arms instead.

Octavia sighed, "Hey do you wanna go to Grounder's after class?" She asked enthusiastically, hoping that she could pull back the bubbly blonde again.

Her eyes glistened and quickly agreed like a little child.

Raven rolled her eyes feeling displeased about the situation. It had been a month since Lexa left the Woods residence and Clarke was nothing but a sulking child.

"Of course you would. I really don't get why you're still into that girl, Clarke. She's practically treating you like a parasite."

Octavia hissed at her; who raised her hands in defense.

"What?! Its true. She have to girl up and move on, O. Its been 4 years! No improvement whatsoever. The girl seriously hate the crap out of her. She ignored her." Bringing her index finger out as if she's counting, "Made fun of her." Second finger out, "And now she's miles and miles away the other side of town... which by the way, away from her. What do you expect?"

"Raven! Will you shut it!" Octavia gritted her teeth at how insensitive sometimes Raven can be. She gestured at Clarke who groggily looked and stared at blank space.

"She's right. I am a parasite." Clarke whispered.

"No! No no no. Of course not, Clarke. You're not a parasite. Tell her that, Raven! Tell her she's not a parasite!" kicking her shin under the table.

The taller girl rolled her eyes and sighed, pinching her nose bridge. Trying to settle the atmosphere with a serene and positive vibe. Something that had been lacking for the past month obviously.

"Clarke, please tell me honestly. Did you see any possibility - Anything at all that Lexa might actually have a thing for you. Because giirll you have to woman up and face the music. She's done for."

After a moment of silence, patiently waiting for Clarke's answer. The two girl's sigh and flung their hands in the air in defeat.

"You see my point, O? None! Nuh-duh!"

"But Clarke's been-..."

"She kissed me."

"Nooo...Clarke's being maso--..."

She slapped Clarke's arm so hard that it went beautifully red, Clarke winced from the pain and it seemed all new to her because it seems like the first sudden reaction she had for the past month... Well besides from crying and stoning.

"She...She..."

"She... She what?!"

Octavia and Raven were lost for words. They don't know if the blonde was lying or fantasying or the lost was already getting inside her head. It was too good to be true!

Clarke nodded still with a blank face.

"Oh dear Lord..." Raven faced slapped.

"Miracles do come true!" Octavia beamed, shaking Raven's arms violently.
