Walking The Line - a Clexa modern AU

Fading Walls

Clarke's Pov

"Raven!" She looked at me confused.

"Could you stop staring at her like that? You're literaly drooling." She blushed but glared at me.

"Shut up, I'm not. It's Octavia, why would I?" I scoffed. Raven was obviously developing feelings for O but I understood why she didn't want to admit it. Octavia had a crush on Lincoln and they seemed on the verge of dating. It made me sad for Raven, unrequited love is awful. I put a reasuring hand on top of hers and gave her a small smile. Raven deserved to be happy, I hope she'll find it in herself to be as happy as she can be.

"I'm just confused. Why do I feel this way? Why her?" Her voice was just above a whisper. I could feel her pain as she spoke. "It's like I'm doomed. I love Finn, he loves you more. I pushed Wick away. O likes Lincoln..." I stood up as to sit beside her, giving her a side hug.

"Hey, you're gonna be just fine. Octavia is quite something but she's not the only one and more importantly, look at you. You're strong, you have a mind of your own, you're an amazing person and you look absolutely stunning. Be proud of who you are, that's far more important than being with someone else." I kissed her cheek. "Raven Reyes is a true queen, who cares if you can't get one girl, plenty of others would fight to have you!" She laughed and shoved me playfully.

"Something you wanna confess princess?" I was about to answer but Octavia beat me to it.

"Oh I love confessions, please do tell!" She was wearing the required Gina's Bar t-shirt with black skinny jeans and I had to admit she looked mighty fine.

"Just confessing my undying love to Raven." Her smile faded as she narrowed her eyes at me, trying to know whether that was the truth.

"Jeez relax O that was a joke, she's all yours!" They both blushed not looking at each other. Well looks like she's not that into Lincoln after all.

"Hey Griffin!" I turned around to see Monty waving at me. He was a teacher assistant in my art technique class. He truly was a sweetheart, all about giving and caring for everyone. He happened to be Jasper's best friend, the two were quite the duo.

"Monty! Hey, what's up?" We did our secret handshake. As huge fans of Twenty One Pilots we decided to make the Stressed Out's handshake ours.

"Thinking of going out tonight with Jas and thought you could join us. With your friends of course. Bellamy is already in." I looked at Raven who simply nodded.

"We're in! I'll be late though cause I have a meeting with Lexa and it might be long." He nodded before going to where Jasper was waiting for him. I sat back and noticed Octavia had left while I was talking with Monty.

"Don't worry I ordered your disgusting black coffee for you."

"Your latte isn't even real coffee so shut up birdy Rav."

"Oh my god Clarke just call me that once again and I'll end you!" I laughed, throwing my head back and she joined me. We were both still laughing when Octavia got back with our order.

"You two are going to scare all of my clients away, stop laughing like hyenas." Unfortunately for her, that made us laugh even harder. As we were trying to catch our breath, Monty and Jasper joined in, sitting at our table.

"If you guys would be nice enough to keep Raven company, I have to go." I drank my coffe in one gulp burning myself in the process. I got up and left before Raven could object. She wasn't the most sociable person and would probably have tried to hold me back or leave with me. My meeting with Lexa was gthirty minutes away and I still had to pick up everything we had done before and change so I could go out right after. I could feel we were in for a long meeting.
