You're Not Alone

Chapter 27

Clarke's POV

„It's party night!" Octavia squealed when we were sitting around the table in lunch hall.
Everyone seemed so excited since they were good friends with people from Polis. The only one who wasn't excited at all was Lexa even tho she wanted to go.

„What's wrong?" I nudged her arm.
„What are you talking about?" She raised her eyebrow.
„Your face? You don't wanna go to that party, do you?"
„I don't know what you mean. I do." She scoffed and smiled.
I shrugged and continued talking to Rae and O.
„What are you gonna wear?" Octavia asked me.
„I don't know."
„Well we can help you with that." Raven smirked.
„So-" Ringtone interrupted us. It was Lexa's phone.
„Sorry, I gotta take this." She stood up and walked away from the table.
„Who is it?" Raven whispered when Lexa was far enough.
„No idea." I shrugged and turned around to see Lexa laughing and smiling.
Jelousy took over me. Who the hell made Lexa smile like that?

„Sorry it took longer than I thought." She chuckled awkwardly as she sat next to me and rubbed my thigh under the table. I shivered and moved over a bit. Memories of Finn flashed into my mind. She let go immediately and looked at me with frightened eyes.
„Who was that?" I asked with raised eyebrows.
„Luna." She said like nothing happened.
„Who the hell is Luna?" I raised my voice a bit. Each person from our table was looking at us.
„My cousin?" She said.
„Good." It was awkward because I thought it was someone else.
„I know what you're thinking but no. I wouldn't do that." She smiled and kissed my cheek.
I still felt embarrassed.

My next class was Biology with Lexa but she didn't show up.
„Where's Woods?" Pike asked me as if I knew.
„Believe me Im asking the same question."
He shaked his head and wrote something on the paper.

Clarke: where are you?

Clarke: lexa you're late

Clarke: why the hell arent you responding

Clarke: LEXA

Nothing.

Clarke: do you know where lexa is?

Octavia: isn't she with you in bio class?

Clarke: if she was i wouldnt ask

Octavia: no sorry idk where she is

She still hasn't responded. Where could she be? She said she'll be here.
„Clarke? Do you have something you would like to share with us?" Pike cleared his throat and said.
„No." I put my phone in my pocket and waited for the class to end.

„Don't forget to study for the test on Monday." Pike reminded us when the bell rang.
„Hey. Where's Lexa?" Raven caught up with me when I left the class.
„Do I look like I know that?" I was worried and frustrated. She didn't even tell me she's going to skip.
„Let me help you find her." She said and I nodded.

I was walking around the school, searching for her in random classes even in ones she didn't even attend.
Basketball hall was my last chance.

„Great Lexa! Very good!" Kane exclaimed while Lexa scored.
„Hello. Can I talk to Lexa for a second?" I asked when I walked in.
„Yes, go on." He nodded and Lexa ran to me.
„Hey." She said out of breath and wiped sweat of her forehead.
„Hey? Where were you?! And what the hell are you even doing here?" I whisper-yelled so
Kane wouldn't hear.
„I can explain Clarke." She raised her hands.
„You better." I crossed my arms and waited for an explanation.
„Kane asked me to see him after class because of the basketball team he wants to organize here. He wanted to see me play that's all."
„Why did you say anything?" I scoffed.
„I haven't seen you anywhere." She shrugged with apologetic look.
„Will I see you after school?" I asked.
„Yes." She smiled and looked over at Kane. When he wasn't looking she gave me quick kiss on cheek.
„I gotta go. See you." She smiled and walked away.
I chuckled as I watched her walk away and giving thumbs up to Kane. She took a ball and started playing again.
