Born This Way (English)

Prologue

"Yes Mom, I'm almost there" Clarke sighed, while she was searching her shoes.
Somewhere they should be.
But she couldn't remember where she left her shoes.
That happened often to her.
And she don't even knew why.
"I hope so. We opened an hour ago and you are still at home"
"I know Mom. But also I could have a half day off. I'm there in thirty minutes" Clarke hungs up and took her shoes on, after she found them.
She put her long blond hair in a ponytail, before she got her thermos with coffee and take a sip of it.
Before she left, she put her black coat on and got her car keys.
When she just left the apartment, she run into a person.
"I'm so sorry" Clarke said, when she looked in the green eyes of the young woman, who lays under her.
The blond woman had the feeling, that she had seen these eyes before.
But she doesn't remember that face.
She never saw that women before.
"It's okay" the brunette smiled, while she put her books back in the carton.
"Are you the new owner of the apartment?" Clarke asked, while she helped her.
"Yes, I just moved in"
"Lexa, hurry up. I wont do all the work by myself" a voice from the apartment was to hear and both to them looked to a black haired women.
She was probably in the same age than Clarke.
"I'm on my way Raven" Lexa rolled her eyes and got up.
"You already know my name, but what is yours?" Lexa asked, while Clarke put the last book in the carton.
"Clarke, Clarke Griffin" the blond smiled and looked at Lexa.
"But you should go now. Your girlfriend looks really angry"
"What? Raven and my girlfriend? Never. She's my best friend. Nothing more. She's almost like a sister for me" Lexa laughed loud and also Clarke laughed a bit.
"I have to go to work now. We'll see us" Clarke winked and left.
Lexa smiled, before she went in her apartment.

"And she didn't recognized you?" Raven asked, while she let herself fall on the couch right next to Lexa.
"How Raven? I don't even look like I did sixteen years ago" Lexa smiled, while she looked at some old photos.
On one of them she was together with Clarke.
Lexa was ten and Clarke was nine.
It was the last photo of both of them together.
"You knew that Clarke lives in that building didn't you?"
"When I did the viewing I saw her last name. So I bought the apartment, without thinking twice" Raven laughed short and drank something from her beer.
"Will you tell it her?" Lexa shakes her head and also drunk a bit from Ravens beer.
"There's enough time for it. But I also know that Clarke is engaged. With Bellamy Blake. One of the best lawyers in Los Angeles. So I don't even have a chance. And with my past I totally can forget it" the dark haired girl rolled her eyes and looked at her best friend.
"Lexa, you didn't have done anything wrong. Only the only thing which everyone would have done in your situation. And you can't tell me that you don't feel better now. I know you good enough" she smiled and also Lexa smiled.
She knew that Raven was right.
Since a few years she felt like her self finally.
And only Raven knew who she really was.
She knows the true Lexa.
That Lexa bought that apartment was also good for the dark haired girl.
So she don't even have to look for an apartment to rent.
For sure she would pay Lexa some rent, but Lexa told her that she has enough time for that.
"I know that Raven. I really do. But it's hard to tell an old friend, that you have been her MALE best  friend in Middleschool sixteen years ago. And now you are a woman. I will tell Clarke the truth. But not now. It won't be easy to tell Clarke, that I was Luke and that I'm now Lexa"
