Lexa's POV:
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her. She is beautiful. After English class I had to get out of there. I didn't want to know her, not just yet. I could feel myself falling for her with only one look. I couldn't stop myself from feeling this way.
It's my first day at this new school and I had already met someone who could change my life forever. My parents move around a lot, but I'm hoping they'll settle in here for my sake. Having to move in the final two years of schooling would be a nightmare.
I never thought of myself as a shy girl, I'm really good at socialising, I love rock music, sport and I've even been a rebel and graffitied once before. But that was back when I had my hard arse friends. I still communicate with them but I'll probably never see them again since they are so far away. Suddenly at this school and seeing her, I couldn't force myself to get to know people. That is until Aden approached me and introduced me to Niylah and Indra. I knew that we would get along from the moment we said 'hello' to each other. They seemed like super cool girls and Aden was a cool dude.
Aden mentioned that they play lacrosse here. He gestured to me to try-out for the team as they are wanting to put together a mixed team to erase the whole gender discrimination thing. I figured why not. I love my sport and I've never played in a lacrosse team before. Sure, I've thrown the ball around with the crosse before, but never professionally.
They had try-outs the next day. I prepared myself the night before by doing a few push up reps. Yes, I take my exercise very seriously. Heaven for bid if I let myself go and loose my sporting ability, I'd be lost without it. The try-outs were incredibly serious, which is understandable. Indra tried out too, which is good because then I know two friendly faces on the field. After the try-outs, Indra and I went to the locker rooms to freshen up after running around all sweaty for an hour and a half.
I saw the girl around but I was too nervous to introduce myself to her. There was no way I could make the first move, especially feeling the way I do. I'd probably blurt out something ridiculous and totally embarrass myself in front of her, then she'd never talk to me again.
I heard word spreading around about some guys 17th birthday. I thought I should go just to meet some new people, and who knows, maybe the girl will be there too.
Note: sorry this is short, I just wanted to have Lexa's perspective and her thoughts on Clarke. Also there's parts in this chapter that are going to be involved later on. I hope you are enjoying the story.
