Always and Forever

Chapter 3: Friends

CLARKE POV
I walk to my next class, English, but not the same as Lexa's and Octavia's. It's okay tho because I am with Raven in this class. I sit beside her and she is rambling something...pens?..cars? What the hell is she talking about? I want to focus on her story but I am too busy thinking about a certain brunette. I was nodding seriously but then i smiled just thinking about Lexa. Raven noticed the small curve on my lips and she was waving her hands to my face.

Raven: Ah Griff? You okay? Looks like your drool is over the floor. (She laughs)

Me: (i nudge her arm) shut up. I was just smiling at what you were saying.

Raven was laughing at me uncontrollably and I looked at her confused. I waited for good 30seconds before she stopped laughing and wiped a tear forming on her eyes of laughing.

Raven: You see, Griff. This is why I know you weren't listening. I started telling you what I want to do as project on our Lab Class when I noticed you were outside this Earth.

I realized I zoned out of the world the moment Lexa left with Octavia to class.

Raven: I've been saying Apple Pen Cars for the past 2 minutes and you were just nodding then smiling. So I knew you were drooling over the new aussie girl.

I quickly denied that statement because honestly I don't know why I was thinking about her, or why I was zoning out just thinking of her. Who is this girl and what is she doing to me?

LEXA POV
I was walking out of homeroom to find my next class, only to get saved yet again, by Clarke. Next thing I know I was getting dragged by Octavia to our next class which is English. Too bad, Clarke and I aren't in the same class. But it is also a good thing, seems like I can't focus much if she's near me, let alone in the same room with me. I was snapped by my thoughts when Octavia pinched my arm.

Me: Ouch. What was that for?

Octavia of course just laughed and continue speaking.

Octavia: Well, Lexa. If you must know, I was asking you a question. I was trying to ask where you come from?

Me: Not that obvious? Or am i speaking in american accent? (I say sarcastically)

Octavia: Oh, feisty. I like it. I was just making sure you know. Anyways, I have to be nice to you since Clarke is nice to you. I don't know why she saved you. She's not a people's person. She's always been keeping it to herself, if it's not because of me and Raven, she is probably alone now. She prefers it that way. She doesnt approach people.

Me: Oh? Maybe she changed? Or probably I got lucky she is in a nice mood today.

I was wondering the same thing as Octavia. Why did she help me in class? And why did she bother asking her bestfriend help me to my next class? If what Octavia says is true, it makes me wonder even more.

Octavia: Hmm, you're probably right. She's been eager to Senior Year anyways, maybe that's why she's all so sappy and nice.

I just nod and smiled at her. Our teacher walked to class and started discussing. The first half of class was a bit boring, so i drifted my mind to something interesting. And guess lo and behold, my mind says a certain blonde. Who is this girl? What is she doing to me?

Classes went by fast. Next thing I know, it's lunch. I was with Clarke 3rd period with Math and with Raven 4th period History. It wasn't all that bad since I "know someone", atleast.
