Everything's Changed

11

Lexa smiled at her phone.

Clarke- I'll be there

She was going. What made her change her mind? Lexa wanted to know but didn't care at the same time. She was just happy. She wanted make Clarke feel like a normal human. Lexa pulled a DM with Octavia.

Lexa- Hey, do you anything about Clarke's past?

Octavia- Yeah, why?

Lexa- Just wondering

Octavia- Yeah. One second.

Lexa- okay

Octavia- had to find it in notes.

Lexa- that's fine.

Octavia-

April 10 2018

Today was just like any other day. Cage had done what has been doing ever since our "breakup." I wish it wasn't so hard on me. Sometimes I want to curl up in a ball and forget about everything.

April 17 2018

I had nightmares last night of my future. I was being stabbed by Cage himself and him and his friends laughing at me. "Your dad can't save you now." They kept saying. I couldn't help but cry.

April 28 2018

I had my fifth trip to the hospital today after lunch. It's the same thing every time. This time I was hit harder than usual. I can't stop him.

May 15 2018

I expected the last day of my junior year to be better but it wasn't. It was ruined. I just wanted to have a good day. I really need to think about transferring schools. I still don't know why he does these things. What did I do wrong?

June 7 2018

I was visited by Emerson today while my mom was out working and I made my first trip of the month to the hospital. I've been to the hospital more than a hundred times in my life because of this. This is my life.

June 26 2018

I was given a new scar by Tsing's knife while I was out shopping. I had made another trip to the hospital to get stiches but it's a permanent scar. Another to add to the collection.

July 4 2018

I was encountered at a fair by an unfamiliar boy who decided to stab me in public. I lost a lot of blood and I'm guessing he's with Cage.

July 26 2018

I finally have a good day. I sat at home, watching a lot of movies on my CD player. I took a good nap and I finally got my mind off of things for a few hours.

August 3 2018

I'm finally transferring schools! I'm hoping this goes well. I need a fresh start. I need something other than this.

Lexa- Thanks

Lexa read the message carefully and slowly. That's a rough past. I was guessing that it was worse since that shouldn't be that big of a deal to say "I'm not worth your time." There had to more but this could help it.

Echo- We're going to Go Kart at the activity center around noon.

Everyone responded with an okay or sounds good. Lexa didn't respond since they know she was going. She hated reassuring people like that.

Lexa put a pair of blue jean shorts and a white t-shirt. It was thirty minutes till noon. She got into her Mustang. She headed towards the activity center which was fifteen minutes away plus traffic which should get her there in twenty five minutes or so.

Lexa parked at the activity center and saw some of the girls standing in front of the building. They were waving at her. Lexa waved back to them, smiling.

"Hey Lexa!" Ontari and Echo smiled.

"Hey guys." Lexa said.

Echo, Ontari, Harper, Luna, Gaia, and Nyilah were there. They were just waiting on Raven, Octavia, and Clarke. It wasn't long until Raven's NSX pulled into the parking lot. They all got out as they waved to them. Raven was the only one who waved back.

"So, let's go get ourselves some tickets." Ontari shouted and walked into the building. Everyone followed her into the building.

Lexa stood there, waiting for Clarke to catch up.

"Hey." Lexa said smiling at Clarke.

"Hello." Clarke mumbled.

"Do you like to Go Kart?" Lexa asked.

"I've never been." Clarke said. "Is it fun?"

"Oh yeah." Lexa smiled. "I win every time."

"Challenge accepted." Clarke smiled.

God, her smile is beautiful. Lexa thought.

'You should smile more often." Lexa said. 'It's a beautiful smile."

"Thanks." Clarke said. "Who said I didn't smile."

"I dunno." Lexa held her hands out in defeat.

They got up to the desk finally, which they were last.

"two tickets." Lexa said.

The desk clerk gave them their wristbands and they walked off.

"You didn't have to pay for my ticket." Clarke said.

"My treat." Lexa said. "It's your first time racing."

They walked up to the track which was past the arcade and lazertag. The girls got in line together, waiting for their turn.

"How many?" A man asked.

"Ten." Echo said.

The gate opened and the girls had claimed their karts.

"You will do three laps!" The man shouted. "First one to finish gets credits on their account! Good Luck!"

The girls waited for the light to turn green so they could start their race. The light turned yellow and the girls had their foot hovered slightly over the gas peddle. Then the light turned green. They were off.
