Chapter 1:

Clarke stumbled in her new college dorm room. It was small, but livable. There were two beds on either side of the room. Since her roommate wasn't there yet, she chose the one on the left. Clarke wishes her roommate was Octavia, who is also going to the same college, but Octavia is a floor above her. To be honest the only reason Clarke decided to go to this college was because of Octavia. Clarke doesn't think Grounder University would be the best college for her, but she can't change her mind now. As she was un-packing her bags someone opened the door. A tall, brunette girl with two suitcases stood in the doorway. 'This must be my new roommate' Clarke thought. The girl walked over to the bed that wasn't taken and put her stuff down. Clarke came up behind her.

"Hi. My name is Clarke. I guess we are roommates." The girl didn't turn around.

"I guess so." The brunette said. They didn't say anything else until Clarke realized that she didn't know her name.

"So, what's your name?" Clarke asked.

"Lexa." The girl spoke.

"That's a pretty name." Clarke said without thinking. Then Clarke froze. 'Why did I say that?' She thought. 'I am probably coming off as a creep.' Lexa cleared her throat and turned to look at Clarke.

"Thank you." Lexa spoke sweetly because she didn't want to come off as mean and rude. Clarke got a look at Lexa's face. She had a very young looking face, with big green eyes and luscious lips. Clarke gave Lexa a smile and Lexa turned around and continued unpacking her things. There was a knock on the door and Clarke answered it.

"This school is going to fucking suck." Octavia barged in and came to a sudden stop when she realized someone else was in the room. "Is this your roommate?"

"Yea, her name is Lexa." Clarke said looking at Lexa, who seemed to care less about what was going on. She focused her attention back to Octavia. "So, why is this school going to suck?"

"Oh yea," Octavia said and sat on Clarke's bed, making herself comfortable, "I haven't seen one cute guy! Not one!" Clarke rolled her eyes and sat next to Octavia.

"That is what you're worried about?" Clarke questioned and Octavia nodded. "You should try and focus on school first."

"What fun is that?" Octavia said and Clarke rolled her eyes again.

That night Clarke and Octavia got dinner on campus and Octavia walked Clarke back to her dorm.

"Bye O." They hugged and Clarke walked into the room. Lexa was sitting on her own bed reading a book and Clarke went over to her own bed and lay down.

"Your friend seems interesting." Lexa said while reading her book. Clarke laughed.

"Yea, I know. All she cares about is boys." Clarke thought for a moment. "But she is right there aren't any cute boys here."

"I know one." Lexa said as she put down her book.

"Who? And set Octavia up with him or else she will be nagging her about boys everyday." Clarke pleaded and Lexa gave a quick smile.

"His name is Lincoln and he is a sophomore."

"How do you know him?"

"We grew up in the same foster home. He is basically like my brother." Lexa said. She thought about how her and Lincoln used to play all the time and how they were the only ones that actually stayed in the same foster home until they were adults. "Do you have any siblings?"

"No, just me. My mom couldn't have anymore kids after I was born." Clarke said.

"It is getting late we should get some sleep." Lexa said and Clarke nodded before she got up and grabbed her pajamas.

"if you don't mind, I am just going to change really quick." Clarke said in the corner by her bed.

"No problem, we have to get used to seeing each other naked anyways." Lexa said getting under her covers. Clarke was a little shocked by Lexa's response, but she didn't think too much of it. After Clarke finished getting dressed Lexa turned off the light and they both went to sleep.

A few days later, Clarke and everyone at Grounder University started school. Lexa and Clarke had gotten friendly and Octavia started talking to Lincoln. When school ended, Lexa and Clarke walked back to their dorm together. The only class they had together was the last one of the day, which was a basic math class.

"So, how did your first day go?" Clarke asked, closing the dorm door behind her.

"It was alright. You?" Lexa asked.

"Same. And thank you for setting up Lincoln and Octavia."

"No problem." Lexa smiled. Clarke liked it when she smiled. When Lexa smiled, Clarke couldn't help but smile too. Lexa took off her shirt and sat on her bed in her bra, something she has done before. Clarke liked when she did that too. It meant that she was comfortable around Clarke and Clarke liked that. Clarke found herself staring at Lexa's toned, flat stomach and looked away before Lexa noticed her staring. Clarke plopped on her bed and groaned.

"All I want to do is sleep and eat." Clarke said, face in her pillow.

"We could order some Chinese tonight?" Lexa said. Clarke gave her a thumbs up. "So, what are you studying again?" Lexa asked as the played with her hands. Clarke turned her neck so she could see Lexa.

"Pre- Med. You?"

"I'm not sure yet." Lexa said and Clarke was confused.

"How can you not be sure?"

"Well I am studying communications, but that is not really what I want to do."

"Why are you then?"

"I wanted to get a college education before I go into the military. But I am not even 100% sure if I want to go into the military. So I am just not sure."

"You would kick ass in the military. Toughest girl there." Clarke said laughing a little and Lexa smiled at her and then Clarke was smiling too.

Later that night they were on Lexa's bed eating Chinese and watching 'The Notebook' on Lexa's laptop. They had to be pretty close together in order to see the screen and Clarke found it awkward at first, but got used to it. Their shoulders were touching and they leaned their heads against each other's. They were becoming really fast friends, it has only been a few days and Clarke feels like she has known Lexa for a lifetime and Lexa feels the same way. When the movie was over Clarke stayed on Lexa's bed and they were talked for a while before they both went to bed.
