This is gonna be a hell of a long prologue... sorry my dudes

"See you mom!" I scream as I run out the door. I've never been good at waking up on time but this was a new low.

Today was my first day at Golden Valley Highschool, home of the Trojans. I was practically late, I had slept an hour past my alarm, so that set me behind. I had been living in Washington all my life, and don't get me wrong, it was fun... but I always felt kind of trapped here, like I was glued to my home. My family stopped traveling after cousin Charlotte got kid napped on vacation. My parents decided it was too risky. I had always wanted to go to visit the coast in California. Everything just seemed to happen there! It wasn't boring there, at least from what i knew.

I pulled up to the highschool on my bike and chained it up next to the others. Then I really got a good look at the place, hot damn, this building was ginormous. It had 3 entrances. The main being in the middle. I decided to try and go somewhat undetected and went through the not so crowded door.

speed walking down the halls I went, needed to get my schedule, about halfway through getting lost, the first bell rang. Fucking hell. Where's the office? I wish i could just find the god damned office! As I am running around like a chicken with its head cut off, I ran straight into someone and ricocheted right onto the floor. "Damn... I'm sorry" a sweet voice apologized. "Oh- i- um it's ok, I'm Clarke?" This boy reached his hand down to me and I grabbed for it, he pulled me up "Clarke?" He laughed. "Uhm yeah.. it's Clarke. And you are..." I fumbled. "The names Finn." He grinned. "Finn; would you mind directing me to the office? I'm completely and utterly lost." He snickered, "Of course, I was just heading down there myself, I could use a friend." I blushed. This cheesy fucker. He grabbed my arm and pulled me along to the office.

I had finished my first two periods; science and art, and I was walking down stairs towards the commons when I heard a familiar voice yell my name, "hey! Clarke! Wait up" Finn chanted, hobbling down the stairs. "I hope you don't have any friends you were planning on eating lunch with..." Finn says, "I don't have a lot of friends Finn, don't worry" I laughed. "Well, now you have me!" Finn was being a real cheesy shit, "I'm gonna go get some food, find us a table, princess." The nickname made my heart flutter. I can not be catching feelings... fuck I just nodded and sat down by the window. I waited for Finn for a minute, poking at the sandwich my mom made for me. Finn walked up with some girl, I was worried it was his girlfriend. But there was no way he was with this chick. "Hey Clarke, meet Lexa, Lexa, meet Clarke." Finn said

Lexa was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen. Her brown hair was pulled up into a ponytail with some pieces falling down; framing her face perfectly. She wore a grey soccer jersey and black sweats. "Hello, Clarke." Lexa smiled. I blushed furiously. "I like your name Lexa, it's very pretty." I smirked. "I'll be right back Clarke, Finn. I'm gonna go grab some food" Lexa chimed.

The rest of lunch was a blur. Finn, Lexa and I hit it off pretty well. Lexa and Finn had gone to middle school together and were already friends, but they welcomed me with open arms and we became our own little group.

Eventually Finn asked me out, I was nervous at first; seeing as at the time I was sorta crushing on Lexa. But me and Finn got along nicely. I couldn't of been happier with anyone else.

In January, there was a new girl; Raven Rayes. She was breath taking. She had long dark brown hair. Beautiful brown eyes, long eyelashes. And long long legs. Lunch rolled around and I was quite surprised to see that Raven and Finn knew each other. Apparently they dated until she moved last year, and of course I felt terrible, but raven assured her, that it was fine. Raven was fine.
