Chapter One - The Girl With a Bad History

While I was staring at this girl, I was thinking about the whole soulmate thing. I was thinking if I'd ever meet mine, hoping to not end up like my mom, but then the girl turned around and I wished I turned out like my mom. It was Lexa, yes Lexa Woods.
You see, Lexa and I have a bit of history together. We used to be best friends, inseparable even, but then we grew apart. I became popular and she didn't. I wanted to stay close but she didn't like my friends.
She hates me, and I don't blame her. Raven and Octavia were never fans of Lexa. I never knew why. I have to admit something that I don't like to admit. I was rude and mean to her. I want to take all of it back.

It was a typical Monday. I was tired and Octavia came in hot with coffee. She always had energy, especially when it's a school morning. Raven was showing off her necklace that Finn made her. It was a raven. Funny right? No, I find it more ironic than funny. Finn and I always been friends, not close, but he's helped me. Slowly being with him more, we've been falling in love.
Lexa was at her locker. She's been getting distant. I've tried to keep contact since Octavia and Raven let me in, but it didn't work. She ended up making a presentation in health in on trust and it was so obvious that it was about me.
"Ha, what is she wearing?" Raven asked.
"I have no idea, but I can't believe you, Clarke, ever trusted her," Octavia exclaimed.
They weren't being discreet either. I've asked them to stop, but it never works. I ended up laughing at what they said.

That was the first time I ever did what I did. I ruined Lexa. All I wanted was to fit in I guess. Octavia came to me a couple of days later saying Lexa made friends with her older brother, Bellamy, also that they have been spending so much time together. I couldn't help, but be jealous. I guess it was okay for her to move on because I clearly did in her eyes.
I needed to tell someone. It happened to be Raven. She was mad at me for a while because I dated Finn, but it didn't go well with us. He left Raven for me. Anyways, Raven was closer to me then Octavia. She's always had a temper.

Unfortunately, not many girls take mechanics class. I didn't want to, but Raven convinced me. I've been more of a science or leader gal, but Raven asked me to do this. I'm still confused on everything we are doing, I'm doing it for Raven.
Sinclair, our teacher, made us his star students, mainly because of Raven. She's good at everything. He gave us an old pod thingy from a spaceship, and told us we could do it for extra credit. I needed it but Raven said, that as long as I get all the pieces, she'll do it and let me take credit. Which is odd for her. Then he said we needed to find something to make something out of and Raven's brilliant mind said rocket flares. She's been study mechanics her whole life, so she's leading the mission on this one.
"Okay, Clarke the gig is up, what's wrong?" Raven asked
"I found my soulmate," I looked down.
"That's great! Who's the lucky one?" Raven asked.
"Uh, Lexa" I hesitated.
"Hold up, Lexa the Robot? Who hates everyone especially you, and has never shown any proof that she is capable of human emotions? That Lexa?"
"No, the other Lexa, you know the kind hearted one," I laughed at my own sarcasm, "yes Lexa, it has to be a mistake!"
"Okay yeah sure, the universe made a mistake,"
"I just don't understand, why now? I used to be friends with her, I've seen her in the halls a billion times. Why did I only see the colors now? Why was this our moment?"
"I don't know, Clarkey. But the only way to find out is to talk to her"
"You're right,"
"I know, now can we get back we are so close to finishing this"
It is a little weird that Raven told me to talk to her after all the bad things she has ever said about her, but I guess that means she's gotten over it.
