Clarke's pov
I stared into my blue eyes in the mirror. They held excitement, ready to start the first day of my new life. It sounded so ridiculous, "new life" as if everything that happened before vanished into thin air... I wish it did. I wish I could throw it all into oblivion, never having to think about it, never feeling this pain that seems to never leave me... I took a deep breath and watched my eyes turn to steel.
"Now is not the time to think about this. Not surviving, living." I reminded myself, determined.
"Man please don't tell me you're a psycho or something, I've watch The Roommate, I'll know better than letting it go too far!" exclaimed Raven, entering the bathroom. Raven was my roommate, I met her yesterday while moving into the dorm. She sure was something, a real smart-ass. In less than a day I'd understood that sarcasm was her language and that as much as she was a force to be reckoned with, she also was a good person.
I laughed with her. "Don't worry about it. I've had enough crazy in my life for now." I turned to face her before continuing. " So I texted that Octavia girl I met at orientation yesterday and she asked if we were in for lunch with her and some of her friends, there will be her brother Bellamy and some others I don't know. You're in?"
She took a deep breath. "Yeah sure, my boyfriend was suppose to have lunch with me but two weeks ago he decided to break up with me, saying he was in love with the girl he cheated on me with...so..." Her eyes were now filled with pain and anger. I knew too well how she felt.
"You know Bellamy is pretty hot..." I tried, going for a joke " He is known for being quite successful with the ladies." We both chuckled at that.
"I'm starting to really like you Griffin" she was smiling broadly at me and it was truly heartwarming.
"Yeah don't get too sentimental there Reyes" I shoved her playfully. "Come on let's get our schedule for the semester, we'll probably find Octavia there."

I was scanning the crowd, hoping to find Octavia when I laid eyes on him. My heart filled with rage, I was seeing red. "Finn?" Raven's voice came from my right. I turned to her "Please tell me he is not your ex boyfriend." My tone was harsh but I couldn't control myself not when it came to him. "Actually..." My reaction made her nervous, she looked uncomfortable. "Raven that guy dated me for three months, he made me fall in love with him and after confessing his undying love for me he told me he actually had a girlfriend. And he kept trying to get back with me for two other months." I was yelling at this point. "That guy ruined me, he broke me! And you're telling me that guy is your boyfriend?!"
"Ex-boyfriend Clarke and don't you dare yell at me like that! May I remind you he cheated on me with you! You think I knew? You think I wanted that?!" Tears were forming in her eyes. I felt bad for yelling at her. He was the one I should be yelling at. The one that should feel miserable not us. I was so angry I couldn't even think anymore, my feet took me to where he was. He was pale and looked nervous. His eyes were focused on the ground. The coward. This only added to my anger. I stopped right in front of him, invading his personal space. "What.The.Fuck. Are you doing here?" I asked through gritted teeth. He swallowed, looking everywhere but at me. His eyes focused behind me. "Raven?" He seemed taken aback. That just did it. He hurt me, her hurt Raven who seemed like an amazing person and he just stood there as if he was the victim. I punched him. The blow was so unexpected he fell to the floor. I thought it would soothe me, make me feel better but it didn't. In fact, it just fed my anger. I straddled him and started throwing punches at him, on his face, his torso and he wasn't even defending himself. People had stopped to watch but I didn't care, he deserved this.
