Lexa's POV:
After the girl and Finn kissed, i knew she would never feel the same way I did for her. I left the circle and went outside. Niylah and Indra trail behind me.
"Hey, what's going on?" Indra asks me.
"N-Nothing. It's stupid," I put my hands on my head.
"It can't be if it's making you like this," Niylah says comfortingly.
"That girl in there, who just kissed Finn... I think I have feelings for her," I mutter out.
"Huh?" Indra says. "How? Have you even spoken to her?"
"Well... no."
"How do you have feelings for her then?" Indra asks.
"I don't know how, I just get really nervous when I'm around her and I because of that, I haven't been able to talk to her. Butterflies form in my stomach when she looks at me. So if that isn't screaming 'feelings' to you two, then i don't know what does."
"She's got a point." Niylah says. Indra nods.
We sit down around a campfire not far from the pool fence. The crackling of the fire broke the silence between the three of us. The breeze is cool and getting colder by the minute.
__
An hour goes by and I hadn't seen the girl emerge from the shed yet. I wonder if she has kissed anyone else, or Finn for that matter. I wonder if she likes him. Finally I lay my eyes on her as she walks out of the shed with Raven, Octavia and... Finn. I glanced away. I watched the fire until I look back at her, walking towards us. I didn't want her to see me looking at her so I kept my head down at the flames of the fire. I could feel her approaching, I didn't want to look, until I hear her soft voice.
"Hey," she says looking at me and smiling. I couldn't help but smile back.
"Hey," Niylah says to her.
"Do you mind if we sit?"
"No, of course not." Niylah replies.
The girl takes a seat across from me and looks intrigued to start up conversation with us.

"My names Clarke and this is Raven," she says.
"I'm.." Clarke stops Niylah,
"I know who you are... all three of you." Clarke says looking at me.
Aden approaches and sits down next to me. He puts his arm around my shoulder...
"this is Aden," Niylah says,
"but you probably know that too." Clarke nods.
She's got an interesting name, one I wouldn't have picked for her, but it's pretty and it suits her. Clarke glares at Aden and I, looking at us up and down. Perhaps she's curious to know if we're a couple or not.

Out of nowhere, Aden stands up, grabs onto my hand and manoeuvres me towards the pool.
"Aden, what are you doing?" I ask him,
"pushing you in," he says with a wide smile on his face.
I claw onto his arms, and wrapped my hands around his neck, almost as if I am hugging him.
"Aden, don't! Please don't... ADEN!" He pushes me in.
I can feel the cold water on my skin, I reach the surface.
"Aden, you jerk! What was that for?" He's laughing, and so is Niylah and Indra.
Clarke and Raven are just observing, not actually knowing what just happened. I stand up out of the water.
"Great," I say "now my clothes are wet." Aden just looks at me laughing, "
"that was the whole idea."
I notice Clarke gets up and approaches Finn. She heads inside and comes back out, a minute later, with a towel. She enters through the pool yard and walks towards me. She wraps the towel around my body and says
"There," smiling at me,
"thank you," I say awkwardly.
She looks at me up and down and leaves the pool yard.
