CLARKE POV
It's the 1st week of March and it means..... deadline of college applications. I sigh just thinking about this. I know we have the money but universities cost tons. I'd hate to ask my mom if I ever don't get accepted with any scholoraships. So I must make sure that I do.

Lexa, Raven, Octavia and I are all in my place to finish all the requirements needed to submit altogether. Schools/Universities we decided are UCLA and NYU. Ivy League schools: Harvard and Stanford. All either near California or New York.

Octavia: I am definitely not excited for college. I want to graduate but no to being 'young adults'.

Raven: Me either. After high school means serious business. What do you guys plan on taking?

Lexa: I'd always see myself taking business course or marketing. So I'm choosing them as my 2 options.

Octavia: Hey, me either. Marketing or Management course.

Raven: Gosh, business freaks. Well mine's engineering or management.

Me: Oh please choose engineering. I can't imagine the business you'll be managing if you take management.

The 3 of us just laughs and Raven throws a pilllw at me.

Lexa: How about you, babe? What'd you put.

I look down at my applications and see a blank space under 'major/course options'. Lexa looks at me knowing I don't want to talk about it.

Lexa: Hmm, let me guess. Political Science? You'll be an amazing Mayor.

Raven : Mayor? She'll be the President.

Octavia: Oh yess, pol sci then be the president. I want priviledges.

I laugh at my friends and girlfriend's banter

I laugh at my friends and girlfriend's banter. Lexa holds my hands and caress it with her thumb to soothe me. I look at her and I smile.

LEXA POV
We all decided to sumbit our applications tomorrow morning. Raven and Octavia just left so it's me and Clarke.

I look at Clarke and she walks away to our room. I know something's bothering her so I need to be that kind of girlfriend.

Me: Hey, baby. You okay?

I see Clarke sitting infront of the study computer desk. I pull another chair and sit behind her as I wrap my hands in her waist. She leans her head back and I give her a quick peck on the neck.

Clarke: All good princess. Just thinking.

Me: What are you thinking about? Care to share?

Clarke just sits still not answering my question. I hug her tightly and I notice her looking at her college applications through the computer's reflection.
