The next day, Clarke gets driven into school by Bellamy and Octavia. The ride there was short and quiet. Once they open the doors to the school, Finn approaches.
"Good Morning, Clarke," he winks at her, totally ignoring Octavia. Clarke tries to act nonchalantly as she steps out of his way to go to her first period class with O.
"I swear there's something wrong with him," she says to Octavia.
"I've never noticed how creepy he was," Octavia giggles back. Clarke knew she was exaggerating things. All Finn was trying to do was say 'hi', but Clarke couldn't help but remember how he watched her suffer in the pool at the party. No one helped her. It sucked. It was one of the scariest moments in her life, and no one was there to help her through it. Clarke always had a fear of water. Water. When she was little and she didn't know how to swim, she slipped and fell into the pool unwillingly. At the time, her parents were fighting and they only noticed she was under the water until about 2 minutes later. 2 minutes. A lot can happen in two minutes.
"Clarke!" Octavia snaps her back into reality, "are you okay? I lost you for a second."
"N-yeah! I'm good," Clarke reassures Octavia, and a wave of silence comes over them as they stare at each other, "let's go to first period," Clarke suggests, breaking the silence. Even though they've only known each other for a short period of time, Octavia knows something is up.

Octavia and Clarke head to the mall after school to pick up some new clothes. After they complete their journey, Clarke is greeted with a totally new wardrobe and couldn't be happier. What a great way to lighten the mood.
"So, hey..." Octavia sighs grabbing Clarke's attention, "if Finn bothers you that much, we can file a restraining order." Clarke laughs.
"I just don't get it. Does anyone feel sympathy or empathy in this town??" Clarke asks rhetorically, "I was drowning in a swimming pool and literally no one helped. They all just stood above laughing and watching me struggle."
"They were drunk..." Octavia answers, "it's not exactly the most ideal situation to be in. I get it." Clarke starts to tear up, "Clarke, is there something else bothering you? Or are you just embarrassed about what happened."
"Something happened when I was little, O," Clarke states, "I'll tell you about it later. I just want to try on my new clothes for now" Clarke laughs nervously.
"Whenever you're ready." Octavia sighs and her phone rings, "Bellamy?" she answers the phone. Immediately, her face drops. Clarke takes notice instantly as Octavia fumbles to grab her things and hangs up.
"What's wrong?!" Clarke asks.
"M-my" Octavia begins to sob, "my mom just got hit by a car..." she full on sobs and Clarke consoles her, wrapping her arms around Octavia. "I need to go to the hospital...can you d-drive me? I'll struggle because I'm freaking out and-"
"You don't have to ask, Octavia. Let's go." Clarke and Octavia make their way to the hospital
