A Clexa College AU set in modern times.
Clarke Griffin is a fourth year student in college. She's very quiet and keeps everything to herself but she immediately makes friends with her roommates Raven and Octavia. They bonded for a few days before t...
CLARKE POV I was minding my own business, enjoying the calmness in the library when suddenly Octavia, Raven and Lexa came barging in. They told me that they were worried something might have happened to me and it warms my heart that someone is worried for me. I've known them for a few days and they already treat me as one of their own and I'm happy for that.
I told them that they can go home, Raven and Octavia did but Lexa stayed. I got confused as to why. She went to the other side of the library to wait. I contemplated for a bit before going near her.
- You can go home, Lexa. I can walk on my own. I have been for years. - I say and Lexa looks up at me from her phone.
- It's okay, Clarke. I don't mind walking the princess back home - She says with a smile
I shake my head no. - No, I don't want to owe you anything. Anya's house is farther from here and I walk every night since freshman year. I'm okay -
- No really, I don't mind. The library's a new scenery for me. I've never been. I mean, I did. But I never came here because of some good deed or studying - Lexa says and I am shock with that
- You're still not here because of studying. So please go - I said begging. I can't feel this guilt towards her that she's here wasting an hour to wait for me, when she can go have a date with her girlfriend.
- No, Clarke. It's o... - I cut her off a bit mad
- No, Lexa. Just go please? I don't want people looking at me like I'm a charity. Go back to your rich life with your girl and friends. Just go continue your life and leave me alone - I said harshly
Okay that was a wrong thing for me to say. But I really can't handle people being nice to me just because they know I'm weak, that I'm poor and that I'm an orphan. I don't want those. This is not the Lexa I grew up with. She doesn't remember me, so this Lexa being nice to me is someone else. This is pity. And I hate pity.

I look at Lexa who was frozen a second but nods. She stood up, put her headphones on and left. I sigh and feel the guilt rising as I watch her leave.
I can't owe her anything. I can't be close to her, not again.
After an hour of working full of worry and guilt in my heart and mind, I'm finally done. The staff who was going to be next shift just arrived. I said goodbye and went back to the dorm rooms. I wanted to go buy dinner but I decided to keep the money, in case my roommates wants to go out anytime soon. I can't let them paying for me all the time, now that they know I work at the library.
When I arrived at the dorms, I see Raven and Octavia watching and eating at the living room. I smiled at them
- Hey, come on let's eat. We already started since we're starving - Raven says and I just chuckled.
