You're Not Alone

Chapter 5

Lexa's POV

I woke up nervous like I've never been before. This was my first match after summer break and I couldn't mess up like I did last training. Especially now when two ocean blue eyes will be watching the whole match. I went running to clear my mind. Looking down while music playing in my ears I hit someone. I looked around and saw Clarke on the ground.
„Oh my god Im so sorry!" I ran up to her and helped her stand up.
„Lexa?" She asked looking intomy eyes.
„Im sorry I didn't see you." I pulled her up. My whole body froze everytime I felt her touch.
„Im fine no worries." She said with smile while picking up her stuff. I bend down and helped her.
„Where are you going?" I asked.
„Heading back from Octavia's place."
„Did you have fun?" I asked disappointed I couldn't be there.
„Yeah if we don't count drunk Raven and Octavia making mess of everything they touched..yeah it was fun." She said while smiling at me.
I couldn't help but laugh at the image.
„Are you coming today?"
„I wouldn't miss it." She said while smirking.
My cheeks were burning. I quickly got up and smiled.
„Uuh I should probably go." I said bye and ran away.
I couldn't help but smile. I love her ocean blue eyes, I love everytime she touches me, I love how she understands me. In that moment I knew I could trust her.

Clarke's POV

I watched Lexa running away. I turned around and smiled. Why do I feel like that everytime she's around? I don't like her. Or do I?

Lexa's POV

I returned home and took a quick shower. Then we had lunch and wtched TV. I put on shorts and one of my favorite hoodies. My phone buzzed when I laid down on couch. I checked the messages. It was from Clarke.

Clarke: Hey I just wanted to wish you good luck today

Lexa: Thanks it means a lot

Clarke: you're gonna do great

Lexa: I hope so

„Why are you smiling?" Anya asked while laughing a bit.
What? I didn't even notice I was smiling like an idiot.
„Uhm nothing just friend." I said blushing.
„Yeaaah suree. Who is she?"
I nearly choked.
„Anya we're not a thing alright? Just a friend." I said.
„Lexa it's okay you know. Worse bitch than Costia doesn't exist." She said like she understands.
„Im just not ready okay?" I raised my voice. I immediately regret it.
„Im sorry. I didn't mean to."
„It's okay I get it. Im sorry." She said giving me 'it's okay' smile.
„I should pack my things. Will you come?" I asked.
„I'll be there and Aden too."

I ran up to my bedroom and packed my things. It was only 3 pm so I decided to took a quick nap.

When I woke uo it was 4:30 pm. I dressed up, said goodbye to Anya and Aden and left. I met Indra in changing rooms.
„Are you ready?" She asked nervously.
„I don't know if we can call it 'ready' but yeah I guess so."
„We will win!" She whisper-yelled and I smiled.
We changed into our shorts and sweat shirts. I stretched and practiced before the match started. I was fully focused on the ball. I returned to the changing rooms when the first people from audience started to fill the empty seats. I was jumping on the same place shaking my hands and breathing hard. I felt Indra's hand on my shoulder and she gave me a smile and small nod.

We walked to the play-ground and shaked hands with the other team. We made our playing positon and started playing.
