Scandals Aren't All Bad

Oops I did it again.

Clarke's POV

Tears were burning her blue orbs. They seemed to be challenging her and they threatened to fall down her cheeks. But Clarke refused to let them win.

She chocked back the threatening tears and swallowed hard. The lunch bell rang and Clarke progressed towards her locker. Once she arrived, she nearly forgot her combination but she luckily remembered. Just as she swung open her locker, she saw Octavia skipping down the hall towards her. This brought a smile to her face. Octavia was so perky, when Clarke was at her worst, this girl could turn her frown upside down.

"Clarkey boo!"

The blonde rolled her eyes as Octavia then hopped next to her.

"Whats up Octavia?" She asked in a raspy voice.

"I was just wondering if-" The brunette paused, narrowing her eyes at Clarke. "Have you been crying?"

"No." She answered quickly.

"Okay, who hurt you." Octavia demanded, her perky personality turning to a concerned one.

Thats another thing the blonde liked about Octavia. She was always there when she needed her. She always cared and was concerned. Clarke knew she could always count on her best friend.

"Its nothing, really."

"Clarke how long have we been friends?"

The blonde opened her mouth to speak but Octavia beat her to it.

"As long as I can remember." She concluded.

"Where is this going." Clarke honestly wasn't in the mood to speak with anyone about it. The last time she felt hurt like this was when she was with Finn. He scarred her bad and it hurt. He broke her heart and just thinking about it made her chest hurt.

"My point is Clarke, I know you. I know when you're upset when you act like this. I know you're mad when you don't talk to anyone and you act like you're on your period. I know when you are hurt, like this, because I've seen it once before. I know when you're broken inside, because you're not good at hiding your emotions. I know when you're excited, because there's a spark in your eye and you can't wait to share the good news. I know when you're--"

"Okay! I get it."

"What I'm trying to say Clarke, is I know you. I'm you're best friend. You really think I wouldn't know how my best friend is feeling?"

Clarke let out a sigh with a nod. She played with the rims of her shirt, giving her friend a grateful smile. "Thanks Octavia."

"What are friends for." Octavia grinned simply. "Now c'mon. Lunch. I'm starving."

Clarke shut her locker and walked after her friend towards the cafeteria.

Both girls ran in line and they had to wait about 10 minutes before they reached the front. And in those 10 minutes, she had to listen to Octavia talk about how going on a date with Bellamy was a bad idea, and how he was just playing with her, and he was going to hurt her, and how he was older, yeah... fun times...

The two filled their lunch trays and scurried over to their usual table that was already filled with their closest friends.

Octavia set her lunch tray down a with a slam on the table and she grabbed this boys' face, giving him a passionate kiss.

Clarke rolled her eyes along with her other friends, Jasper, Monty, Harper, Raven, and Miller.

"Get a room." Miller grumbled.

Octavia pulled back and sat next to the boy who was named Lincoln. Octavias boyfriend.

Lincoln simply gave Miller a firm look which made Miller cringe.
