Clarke's POV:
Monday arrives again and it's back to school for only the second week of the year. I hope i didn't make it awkward between Lexa and I after I wrapped a towel around her. Let's hope she thinks of it as a nice gesture. I don't know what to do about Finn, I don't like him like that. In the past I did, and it was always on my 'to do list' to kiss him but that changed the day I laid my eyes on Lexa.
__
Today, I am determined to talk to her, like actually talk to her. I want to get to know her and hopefully become her friend, or maybe something more. Did I just think that? Surely I don't have feelings for Lexa, I mean if I did, I would know... right?

The first two periods were a blur. Octavia runs over to me at my locker.
"Clarke, I totally forgot, it's Prom week!!"
Oh shivers, I forgot all about it.
"I don't think I'll go this year, I have so much study to do."
"Girl, common, it's only 2 weeks in, surely you haven't got that much to do."
"After the weekend, you know Finn's party and all... I fell behind, I can't let that happen again and you know how much I hate dances."
"Not if, Finns going with you."
"Finn?" I ask, puzzled.
"Yes. He wants to ask you to be his date."
Oh no, just what I need. Lexa to think that I like Finn if I agree to go with him. But if I say no, then I won't have a date. I bet Lexa will go with Aden, they're probably together.

I start to feel nervous about English class, knowing that Lexa will be there too. As I grab my books from my locker, I begin hesitating. I couldn't move, I am that nervous. What's happening to me? "
"Clarke?" I hear Raven say, "what are you nervous for? At least you read the book."
I giggle and start to shuffle my feet towards the English room. I enter and the first person I see, is Lexa. She brushes her hair behind her ear, and my mouth drops open a little. I walk past her and sit near Finn. She turns around and smiles at me but wipes it away when she notices Finn next to me, she turns back to the front. I'm not sure if I'm trying to make her jealous or if I'm doing it because I like Finn's company.
__
The bell rings for break period and Lexa didn't make a quick escape. She slowly puts her books into her bag and turns to look at me. "Can I talk to you?" "Yeah... Of course," i say, surprised. I follow her into the girls locker room where no one else is. Just the two of us... alone.
Lexa's POV:
I turn to face her, and take a deep breath.
"I-I'm sorry for not talking to you. I just... I don't know what's going on with me." I avoid eye contact.
"At my old schools, I was always the first to approach people, but here, it's like my body won't let me."
Clarke looks at me in a way that helps me know that she understands.
"How many schools have you been to?" Clarke asks me.
"Seven. I'm hoping this one will be my last."
Clarke nods. She's standing there, head on with me. I took in every detail of her I could, without looking at her for too long. The way her blonde hair falls in front of her ears and the way her blue eyes sparkle in the light. She is truly beautiful.
"I hope we can be friends and move behind my awkwardness," I say to her.
"Yeah, of course. I'd like that." She smiles at me, I love her smile.
And with that, she leaves. Giving me a smirk before she disappears behind the door.
