Lexa's POV

3:00pm

"Lexa! If you don't hurry, you're gonna miss your stupid date!" I faintly hear Anya shout from the bottom of the stairs.

"I'll be down soon!" I reply.

Today's the day. My date with Clarke. I can't shake the nerves out from me, so that's why I've been in front of my mirror for almost an hour. I run my hands down the sides of my outfit, making sure everything was in place. Everything looked good, now the hair.

I tossed all my hair to my right shoulder, studying how it looked. It was nice, but not nice enough. I moved it to my left, then to the right, then to the left again. I let out a frustrated groan and sat on my bed, looking down at my converse covered feet.

I see Anya walk in my room from the corner of my eyes. "Lexa, seriously. I'm gonna leave without you."

I turn and frown at her. "Why is getting ready for dates so hard?" I ask, rubbing my forehead and closing my eyes.

She lets out a sigh and i feel the spot next to me push down. "What do you need help with?"

"...My hair..." I mumble.

We're quiet for a moment, but then i feel a hand on my right shoulder. "Come sit in front of me. I'll braid it."

I look up at her, a bit surprised by the offer. She hasn't done this to me since we were little. It was something we always did to bond, but we haven't done this for quite a long time. I move hastily to sit in front of her, my back to her. I know for a fact if i took my time, she would definitely change her mind.

Her hands move swiftly and gently. And i sit there, feeling myself relax as her hands do their job.

"You must really like this girl." She says.

I nod my head and softly answer, "I do."

"Do you plan on kissing her today?"

I begin fidgeting. A hard pull to my hair makes me yelp. "Ow!"

"Sit straight and don't move. You gonna wait for the 'right moment' as you said before?"

"Of course, if it comes up..." I mumble.

"What if it doesn't come up today? What will you do then?"

"I-I don't know, wait? Think about when the right time would be."

"You don't need to think about when the right moment is, Lexa."

"Then how will i know?"

"You just feel it, you know."


3:30pm

Anya dropped me off to the Blakes after i was finally content on how my hair turned out. "Thanks, Anya." I say as i get out of her Jeep, closing the door shut and start walking to where Bellamy was.

"Wait." She calls out. Then she throws something out of her window and i instinctively catch it. "For good luck."And she drove off, leaving a trail of smoke and tire tracks behind. I was confused to what it was when i looked down at my palms, but instantly smiled once i recognized what it actually was. It was a braid of hair.

Call us weird, but it's something Anya and i did since forever. It went back to when i was 10 and she was 15. I had gotten gum stuck in my hair while we were playing and i ended up having to cut a chunk of my hair off. It was her idea to braid the hair i cut off and told me to keep it for good luck. She even cut off the under side of her hair too, to make me feel less embarrassed at my hair and braided hers just like mine, saying "Now we both have a good luck charm." So every time we feel like a life changing event is gonna happen to either one of us, we get our braids out and give it to the other for good luck.

"Hey, Lexa!" Bellamy's voice booms, taking me out of my thoughts.

I make my way over to him. He has his truck bed cover off and i can see back packs in it. "Hey, Bellamy."

"So, as you know, my dad said yes about the water park."

"Thank you so much."

"But as i told you over the phone yesterday, me and Octavia have to come along. As well as some extra people. I'm sorry about that." He says scratching the back of his neck.

Bellamy called me yesterday to tell me that the only option that his dad would let me use the water park for the day would be if he and Octavia went too since they know how to turn everything on. Along with most of our other friends too like Raven, Murphy, Lincoln, Jasper, and Monty.

"No, it's alright. I don't mind at all actually."

"Well, the good thing is that the water park is big enough for you and Clarke for you to do your guys' own thing while everyone does the same. I'll make sure no one messes with you guys. As best i could."

I let out a laugh at this. "Thanks. Really."

"No problem."

"So, um..." I start out and clear my throat. I begin to play with my hands. "Is Clarke here yet?"

He grabs a cooler from his garage and tosses it into his truck. "Yeah, she's up in Octavia's room getting ready."

"Oh, okay. I'll just wait here then."

"Why don't you go up?"

"No, it's fine. I'll just wait here until-"

Before i could finish my sentence, the loud and ever enthusiastic voice of Octavia fills the air, echoing out into the street. "LET"S GO BITCHES!" And then the slam of a door closes.

Both Bellamy and i move our eyes to our right and find his sister and Raven clad in their bikinis and sun glass. Yup. They're obviously ready for today.

"Hey, lover girl." Raven greets me as she puts an arm around my shoulder, leaving it hanging. She takes a drink of beer i didn't realize she had in her hand. "Ready for your little date?"

"Isn't it a bit too early for alcohol? And of course i am."

"It's never to early, Lexy."

"Please don't call me that. Where's... Um... Clarke at?"

"Still upstairs getting ready." Octavia winks, jumping into the back of the truck and sitting on the rail.

Bellamy puts his hands on his hips and looks at Octavia. "O! Seriously? My truck. Careful what you do to it." She merely shrugs her shoulders and rolls her eyes, whispering a "Stupid" under her breath. "Hey, Lexa you should get Clarke, we really should be going. We're practically done packing and everyone else will meet us at the waterpark so..."

"Ah, sure thing, Bell. I'll just..." I grunt, getting out of Raven's hold. I pat down my hair to make sure it wasn't messed up. Moving into the house, i made my way up to Octavia's room. With each step i took, i felt my heart beat faster and hands become a bit more sweaty. I know i'm just getting Clarke, but today is a pretty big day for us after all. First official date, hopefully first kiss... and well, whatever else is to come out of today.

My feet hit the top of the stairs, but i don't immediately go and knock on the door. I need to calm myself down, so i close my eyes and start speaking to myself quietly. "It's okay, Lexa. You got this. You're just calling Clarke down so we can get to the water park. No need to panic. It's just Clarke... Really beautiful Clarke... With nice hair and eyes and skin and a really sexy husky voice..." I trail off.

With all the things i was saying to myself, i started to imagine Clarke in my head, smiling at me with her bright smile and blue eyes.

If i wasn't so in my head i probably would've notice the sound of a door opening and footsteps approaching me, but i wasn't paying attention. The sound of a small chuckle pulls me out and i open my eyes to see Clarke in front of me.

Her left hand was covering her mouth and her cheeks were tinted pink.

"I... H-Hi." I stammer out, quickly feeling myself heat up.

"Hey to you too." She responds.

We stand staring at each other for a while, just... looking each other up and down.

She looked absolutely amazing. Short shorts, a black tank top, hair tied up in a high ponytail. I know it's not much, but simple clothing does wonders. It really does. She looks stunning.

"I, we gotta get going?"

Clarke bites her lip. "That a question or are you telling me we need to leave?"

"We need to leave so-"

"So we can start our date, right?"

I didn't trust my voice so i nodded and kind of avoided her eyes.

Again i hear a chuckle and suddenly feel a hand on my arm. I look at her arm laced with mine and smile.

"There you guys are!" Raven shouts from the truck as we walk outside. "I was thinking you guys were doing it in O's room since you were taking so fucking long."

Octavia turns her head towards Clarke and i. "Who's having sex in my room? It better not smell in there."

I glance at Clarke quickly, making eye contact with blue. I averted my eyes, feeling my entire face reddening.

"Dude, guys come on. We would never do that." Clarke answers. "Not yet." She whispers, teasing evident in her voice, so only i could hear it. It just makes me blush even more. "Raven lay off the beers. Let's get on the road."


4:30 pm

It took us longer than expected to get to the water park, but i wasn't complaining. Sure it was kind of irritating and hot to be under the sun while in traffic but i was occupied and didn't care at that moment. Clarke and i sat close next to each other in the trunk. We kept glancing at each other, eyes meeting briefly and then i would turn my head or eyes to the side and look out at literally anything but her. But only for a second before my sight was on her again. We didn't say much during the drive, and i was fine with that. I was nervous and i could tell she was too, but she definitely knew how to hide it better than i did.

"I'm really excited about our date, Lexa." She whispered quietly in my ear.

"I am too, Clarke." I smiled.

She stared at my face for awhile before chuckling lightly and bumped my shoulder before taking a hold of my right hand and lacing it with hers.

We drove like that for the next half an hour before we finally arrived at the water park.

I stood up first and jumped out of the back then opened the trunk for Clarke to get out. I wanted to be chivalrous to Clarke so when she stood up to jump down, i held my hand out for her to take. "My lady."

"Oh how kind of you, Lexa." She said and took my hand.

"Of course."

I was expecting her to jump down and land on the ground, but she had other plans. Instead of landing feet first she jumped in a way where i would have to catch her bridal style.

"Oh!" I yelped suddenly and quickly went to grab her. Thankfully i caught her in time, but unfortunately we both ended up falling to the hard cement.

I hear car doors slam and footsteps approach.

"What the hell are you guys doing?"

"I just got ALL of that on camera."

"You guys okay?"

And then Clarke started to laugh. "Oh my god, Lexa! Haha. I am so sorry. I thought it would be funny to jump on you but that back fired a bit didn't it?" I looked up and saw tears practically in her eyes from laughing so hard.

"It was pretty funny actually. But how was i supposed to catch you when you jump like that?" I laughed back.

"With your muscles of course."

I blinked my eyes and blushed at this.

"Here i'll get off of you and help you up."

And that's exactly what she did. Once we took our bags and coolers out of the trunk, we met up with Lincoln, Murphy, Monty, and Jasper by the entrance.

"Finally!" Murphy exclaims.

"Time to get this party started!" Jasper whoops.

Bellamy moves to the locked gates and i see him take out a ring of keys from his pockets. "Sorry about the wait, there was a stupid driver that got stuck on the side of the freeway. Got held up."

And with a sound of a click, he pushed against the gates and we all watched them open. He turned around and oh so dramatically spread his arms out before saying, "Let's-"

"LET'S PARTY BITCHES!" Octavia cuts him off and runs into the water park, Lincoln chasing right after her.

We all started to yell out our excitement and barged in through the gates, leaving Bellamy to sigh and shake his head.

"Poor Bell." I say to Clarke, looking back at him standing in front of the gate with is hands on his hips.

"Yeah, but i think he's used to having Octavia cutting him off when he announces things." She laughs.

"Very true."

"Mhm. So..."

"So..."

"So..."

"So..."

And then it got silent between us.

"So..." She chuckles and i see her move her hair behind her left ear and bite her lip, turning red in the cheeks.

That's when i realized... The date.

The date had officially started the moment those gates opened. My mind goes blank. I totally forgot what i had planned. Crap. I need to think of something. Why is my mind blanking out now?

"Ah..." I nervously started. Keep calm Lexa, you got this. First things first. Get alone. "Uh, would you like to come- uh."

"Come?"

"Not THAT come, i mean go look for a spot to uh..." I stumble.

"Set up?"

"Yes. Set up our blankets i mean towels and stuff." I quickly answer.

She smiles and nods her head. "Of course. Let's go. Seems like everyone else is ahead of us."

Clarke walks ahead of me as i stand frozen in place. I watch her as she laughs out at something Octavia and Raven say into her ear, punching them both on the arm and i hear her say, "Shut up, you guys. So fuckin' stupid." She is quite beautiful.

"You have everything planned right?" A voice asks. I look to my left and Bellamy's standing next to me. I nod slowly. A light jab makes contact with my arm and i instantly lose balance for a second before i'm standing upright and glaring at Bellamy.

"Seriously?"

"Come on, let's go have some fun. You more than us. If you know what i mean." He winks.

I shove him to the side which makes him side step and laugh. He comes right back and puts his hand on my head, messing it up.

"No, Bell! My hair. It took Anya almost half an hour to do." I jab at his stomach.

"OKay, okay. I'll stop messing with you. So as i said earlier, everyone knows this day is supposed to be yours and Clarke's date. I'm pretty sure they want to mess with you guys when you're doing your guys' thing, but i promise to try to make sure they don't do anything."

I smile at him, nod, and sigh in relief. "Thank you."

"Go get her tiger."

With a final pat to my back, I make my way next to Clarke and she already has her towel out on a lounge chair. Her back was facing me. "Hey, Clarke i was wondering if-"

That was when she took off her tank top and i saw her lower back start to show. I stop in my tracks. She removes her top and i see her wearing a black bathing suit. "Oh..."

She goes to unzip her shorts and proceeds to take them off down her legs and finally tosses it next to her bag. She stands up straight fixes her hair, ruffling them out of her high pony tail. As she's doing this a gust of wind hits and a rush of strawberry perfume fills my senses. I inhale it.

"Oh! Lexa, hey. I didn't see you there." Clarke says as she turns to face me.

I stare at her body and feel myself heat up instantly. "I... Yes."

I try to avoid her eyes but when i do look at her face, a smirk is plastered on it. "You okay?" She teases.

I gulp and vigorously nod. Calm down, Lexa. You got this.

I take a deep breath and smile. "Would you like to go some place a bit more private?" I ask.


8: 00 pm

"Ugh. This wasn't how it was supposed to be..." I grumble. I'm sat at a table by myself while the rest are still swimming in the pools and going down waterslides.

I look up, resting my chin on my arms and frowning. Clarke is with them as well. I'm definitely not upset with her. I'm more upset and frustrated with Octavia, Raven, and Jasper.

Earlier when Clarke and i went to be by ourselves, everytime we had a moment, they would ruin the moment instantly by popping up or jumping out, or doing some crazy stunt.


*Earlier*

Clarke and i found a nice spot near a wave pool and went to take our things out to swim.

"I'm so glad Bell and O's dad let us hang here at his water park. It's so cool." Clarke began. "Like, who else do you know who's parents own a water park you can go to anytime if you ask, right?"

"No one, but the Blakes." I respond, smiling and start to take my shirt off. "This place is so big that i'm pretty sure if we try to look for the others or they look for us, it'll be a bit hard to accomplish."

"Is that what you're hoping for? Haha."

"Hm?"

"Is that what you're hoping for?"

"Sorry? Wha-"

Clarke then suddenly starts to walk towards me, a glint in her eyes. "Are you hoping they won't look or find us? So you can keep me all to yourself."

"Oh... I uh... Y-you see..."

She lightly bumps our foreheads together and i can't help but look down at her lips. They look so soft. My mouth unconsciously hangs open a bit.

"Your mouth is open, Lex." She whispers. I look up at her eyes and it's full on teasing mode. Nothing but a strange gasp leaves my mouth. We stay like this for minutes, but it feels like hours to me. Her hands are on my hips, tugging lightly at my shorts zipper. Oh god. Maybe the water park wasn't such a good idea.

I can't really comprehend what is happening that my hands are bunched into fists and i have no idea what to do with them. I can feel them getting sweaty. "Clarke."

"Yes?"

"C-Can i Ki-"

"HEEEY, Clexa! Mind if i join you guys in the wave pool?" A voice booms behind me.

I am instantly out of my Clarke trance and abruptly turn around to see Jasper with a ridiculous amount of floaties on his body.

I frown at this and hear Clarke let out a grunt.

"Jasper. Seriously?" Clarke exclaims, letting my hips go.

"What? I just wanna swim is all."

Clarke grabbed most of her things and took a hold of my arm just as i stuff my backpack with my shirt. We left Jasper alone waving at us in the wave pool singing out his good bye to us.

We ended up by the lazy river once we knew we were alone. At least it seemed like we were.

"The lazy river. This is my favorite spot in practically all water parks." I say, looking at the water flow to the left.

"Yeah, i thought we'd come here because of that. I'm gonna go in, Lexa. Meet you in there?" She says while touching my arm.

I smile and nod. She winks before i hear splashing in the water and see her figure move down the pool.

I'm still currently in my shorts so i set about taking them off. When i'm done, i look down at my bathing suit and silently high five myself. The white swim suit was a good choice.

I walk to the edge of the lazy river and notice round floaties so i take two and i wait to go in until i see Clarke making her first round around the lazy pool. I see blonde hair turning a corner and i yell out to her. She blows a kiss to me from where she's at and i bite my lip, smiling down at my feet.

When she was close enough, i throw one floaty at her and jump in myself. She lets out a scream of surprise.

"You just got my hair wet!" She laughs and splashes me.

I turn my head to the side and feel the water hit the back of my head. I splash her back and for the next five to ten minutes or so, it was a splashing war between us. She would hide or us her floaty as a shield when i tried wetting her. And i would try to do they same.

She wanted to win this little water battle between us so bad that she continuously splashed at me with her eyes closed, not even paying attention if i was in the same spot or not. So while she was splashing, i decided to swim under water and scare her.

I dunked into the pool of chlorine water and navigated my way until i felt her legs. In one swift move, i lifted her up in my arms. "Gotcha! I win."

"That is so not fair. You totally cheated."

"First off, no i didn't and second wasn't this supposed to be a lazy river? Yet we execute a water fight."

She wraps her arms around my neck and smiles. "Well who started it first? You."

"I did not."

"You threw the floaty at me and got me wet."

"It was a small splash, Clarke."

"It wet me anyways. And that's a battle move."

"Okay, but i won."

"'Cause you went underneath me!"

"Well yeah..."

We stayed like this for about half an hour, merely talking to each other about anything and of course going back to who won the water fight.

During our talk, we maneuvered ourselves on our own floaties again and we looked up at the sky and pointed out what shapes the clouds were. Unknown to us at the time, we found each others hands and interlaced them together so we wouldn't separate and float off by ourselves.

"Hey, Clarke?"

"Yeah, Lexa."

I directed my gaze from the sky and placed it on her. The sun was hitting her at that exact second and she looked stunning. her hair was still fairly wet and there werre still droplets of water over her body so it made her look like she was glowing. Her eyes were closed, but i think she felt my gaze on her and opened them.

Her eyes looked even more blue than they usually are.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"Oh, no nothing. Just... Nothing." I turn my head.

She lets out a chuckle and i feel her squeeze my hand. "Yeah... My boobs look great don't they?"

I gasped at hearing this. I wasn't looking at her boobs...

Well i glanced down at them and they ARE nice but, you know.

"Uh, yeah. They do." I murmur.

In the corner of my eyes i see her smile and get closer to me. The sides of our floaties touch and soft fingers start to play and caress my arm. Goosebumps rise.

We make eye contact and then...

"Hey lover girls! Do i hear a conversation about boobs around here?" We hear Raven say right behind us.

"What the hell, Raven!"

"So boobs." Raven starts, ignoring Clarke. "Mine are very nice right Lexa?"

"What?" I say.

"Raven-"

"Sup. So, mine are pretty great. Yours is really nice too Lexa."

I quickly cover myself up.

"Clarke yours... Wow. Just wow."

Clarke splashes her. "Raven! Oh my god. Please leave."

"What fun would that be if i left you guys alll alone and by yourself? What kind of best friend would i be?"

"A thoughtful one maybe?"

Raven paused. I looked at her face and i could already tell she wasn't going to do what we wanted.

"Nah. I'm good. Let's have some fun. Lets have a race."

"This is the lazy river." I interject.

"If one of you wins, i'll leave. If i win, i take custody of the lazy river."

"Custody?" I ask, confused.

"Custody. Ready? Set go!"

Out of nowhere she starts swimming ahead of us. I look at Clarke for a second before we both jump out of our floaties and go after Raven.

Long story short. We lost.

"See ya later sweet cheeks!" Raven shouts, floating down the lazy river in her sunglasses and bed floaty.

"I totally almost got her." I grumble. In the middle of the race i got really competitive and swam to catch up with Raven, leaving Clarke behind. I was literally head to head with Raven but during the last second, she grabbed a floaty in the pool and hit me in the face. "She cheated..."

"I'm sorry about that, Lexa. Good things is she won't bother us anymore. And we can go back to it being just us."

I smile at this. "You're right."

The sun was about to set when Clarke and i found ourselves back where we first entered the water park. No one was in sight.

"Odd. I thought Bellamy would be here." I said, scanning the area. I saw towels scattered about and bags and coolers too. A barbecue cooker was also on the side, the coal burning but no food in sight.

Clarke look around us as well. "Wonder where everyone is at."

"Come to think of it. We didn't run into anyone besides Raven when she 'took' the lazy river."

"True. Where do you think think they're at though?"

"Maybe getting food? The barbecue cooker is set up, see?"

"Oh, you're right. Hm."

Without nothing to do, i looked up at the sky and noticed the sun setting. My eyes widened. Maybe this would be the perfect time to kiss Clarke! "Um, hey Clarke?" I ask moving to get two lounge chairs to face the gate since that was where the sun was setting.

"Yeah? Oh what are you doing?"

"Would you like to watch the sunset with me?" I ask, feeling my heart beat faster and faster. I gulp down on the saliva that got stuck in my throat.

When my eyes met hers, all i saw was glee on her face. "Sure." She whispered.

I moved hastily to my chair while she went to hers.

When i laid down, i immediately sought out her hand and interlaced it with my own. I sigh, watching the bursting colors of orange, yellow, and a slight tint of pink cast the sky above us. It was moments like these i never get tired of. Especially with Clarke with me. She always makes moments last forever.

I feel Clarke lean her head on my shoulder and i look down to see her smiling up at me. "It's beautiful isn't?" She asks. I notice her eyes are a shade darker than normal.

"Y-yeah." I respond getting lost in her blue eyes. She moves her face closer to mine. "It is... Really..." And i do the same.

We're mere inches from each other now.

"Really beautiful..." I whisper just as i feel her hand touch my cheek.

And just like that i feel a rush of cold liquid surround my entire body, goosebumps rising everywhere on my skin.

Oh. My. God.

"THIS IS WAR!" I hear shouting and screaming and yelling, and a whole bunch of footsteps around us. Then i feel water balloons hit my head, feeling the ice cold substance break onto me.

I gasp out loud and open my eyes blocked with droplets of water to see Clarke all wet with her mouth open. She's hugging herself and trying to look for a towel.

What just happened?

"What the fuck you guys!" Clarke shouts standing up. I do the same, grabbing a dry towel and giving it to her before getting one for myself. We see Octavia on a structure holding a sling shot of balloons, Raven behind a tree with the same thing, and Jasper with a now empty bucket in his hands.


8:00 pm

After Clarke practically lectured them for more than 20 mins, she let them off the hook when they realized how immature they were about what they did to us. She forgives too easy. I am still fumming about it.

"Lexa, what happened you?" I hear a deep voice ask. I turn my head and see Bellamy with Murphy, holding a cooler of grocery bags. And Lincoln and Monty carrying charocal. So that's where they were.

"Octavia, Raven, and Jasper happened."

He shook his head and sighed. "I told thm not to do anything stupid while we left to get food. Idiots. I'm sorry, Lexa. After i said i would make sure no one would bother your guys' date."

I shrugged my shoulders. "It's fine. I'm not upset with you." I sigh.

"Are you and Clarke still on your date?"

"Mm. Yeah, i guess we are. I was so close to kissing her."

"Really now? But then the trio happened?" I nod, casting my head down. We're silent for a tick tock before he says, "I've got an idea."


Bellamy leads Clarke and I up towards the longest slide in the park. We climb up the steps leading to the top, and he extents his arms out to show us the wide open space. It's very empty.

"This is all yours tonight. An apology for... you know."

I glance at Clarke and she raises her eyebrows. I shrug my shoulders.

"Alright so i'll leave you guys alone, okay. Oh, and here." Bellamy throws a big duffle bag into my arms. I grunt.

"What's in here?"

"Enjoy. I'll make sure no one bothers you. Promise." And just like that, he's gone.

Clarke and i watch him walk down the stairs until he's out of sight. I look at her and she does the same to me. I let out a nervous laugh.

"I guess we should check out what's in the bag." I suggest.

"Lets."

We open the bag open and find loads of picnic related items in it. "Oh, wow. These are cool."

"We should set it up, don't you think?"

I took the blanket and a couple of throw pillows in the bag and spread it on the ground. I tried to make it as comfortable as possible. Clarke took out candles and a lighter and started to place and light the candles about the flat surface. We took turns taking out an item and placing them on the groun or blanket. When everything was done, we sat down on the soft blanket and kept looking up and around ourselves. We were illuminated by candles and small lights.

Bellamy definitely knows how to set up a dinner date.

I scan around us in awe.

"Who knew Bell could be such a romantic, huh?" Clarke tells me.

I laugh and nod. "Yeah."

I turn to face Clarke to say something, but i'm speechless beyond compare when my eyes land on her. Hair tied back up in a ponytail, blue over sized sweater, and soft lighting hitting her face, she was absolutely stunning.

She turns her head towards me. I got caught starring. I avert my gaze briefly but look back. She stretches and chuckles, letting me hear that laugh i love so much and then rests her head on her hand.

"Hey you." She whispers.

"Hey." I whisper just as soft.

"What are you staring at?"

"You."

"And why is that?"

"You're beautiful."

I see her cheeks redden and mine begin to heat up as well.

"Can sit in front of you? This is supposed to be a date, right?"

I nod then lean up against the bars behind me. Spreading my legs apart slightly. She moves in between my legs, her back to me and slowly eases into me. When our bodies make contact, a sense of comfort fills me, so i sigh and wrap my arms around her waist. Her head leans towards me and rests on my chest.

We sit in utter silence. Not saying a word to one another. It wasn't awkward. Not at all. It was nice, just being in each others arms and gazing up at the night sky.

"Did you enjoy today?" I asked.

"I did. Until certain people kept bothering us."

"I was hoping we wouldn't get interrupted, but.."

"With the friends we have, it's kind of hard for that to happen. Remember when we all found out Octavia and Lincoln got together?"

I chuckle recalling the memory. "I do."

"Yeah. We all bothered them whenever we could. Except for you and Murphy though. It's tradition to mess with friends when they start dating someone. But now that we're the ones experiencing it, it kind of sucks being annoyed by them. Haha."

"I agree."

"You know, you seemed kind of quieter than usual today. Was there something on your mind?"

I freeze. 'Our first kiss.' i think. "Mm, not really."

She scoffs. "I can tell when you're lying remember? So..." She turns in my arms. "What's bothering you?"

"N-nothing i swear." I blurt out blushing as she moves in closer and closer to me.

"Doesn't seem like it. You're turning red."

"well, i just- it's not that-"

I'm cut off when she grabs onto my both my cheeks and firmly stills it to look straight at her. She's observing me and i can't, but keep glancing down at her lips. Unconsciously i like my own lips.

"Ahh. I see." She says before smirking and backing up just bit.

"W-what? What do you mean?"

"I can read your mind." She tells me.

I frown. Because it's true. She's always been known to what i'm thinking. Ever since we met it's been like that. It's sorta scary. But i deny it anyway. "No you don't."

"I do. I'll tell you."

"Then do it."

She closes in once again. Much closer than what i'm comfortable to and she slowly touches my ear with her mouth. A shiver runs down my body. "You wanna kiss me."

And there it was. Bullseye.

I start to breath faster, my heart picking up speed.

suddenly she stands up. "Lets make this fun shall we? A simple game."

"A- a game?" I ask confuse and still quite stunned.

"A game. All you have to do is catch me."

"And when i do?"

"I'll give you a kiss."

I don't really know what came over me, but as soon as those words left her mouth, i pounced. Which by the way was NOT a good idea. Especially when you don't know that Clarke was standing right in front of the entrance to the slide.

We both scream as we plunge down the tube, splashes of water rushing all around us. I was a bit scared at that moment, all my sense were on high alert with the cold water hitting us, seeing nothing but darkness, and smelling chlorine. Out of instinct, i look for Clarke and wrap her in my arms.

Out of nowhere we're in this wide open room filled with tiny white lights. I hear a gasp.

So i look down at her Clarke's face, observing it. It was dark in the area we were in, the only light source was the small white-ish LED lights above us. She was looking at me too, her blue eyes shinning. She gave me a look, like she was expecting me to do something, but i couldn't really think. How could i when someone as beautiful as Clarke was in front of me, giving me the most electrifying look in history?

It was then i saw her biting her lower lip before i felt her wrap her soft arms around my neck, pulling me closer to her. We were mere inches from each others faces now, just staring, gazing into one anothers eyes.

My breath hitched. This was the moment.

I leaned down slowly, inching ever so slightly. I stop.

"Lexa, kiss me."

And so i do.

A bolt of electricity shoots through my entire body when our lips touch. Her lips feel soft, plump, and tastes slightly of chlorine. We pull each other as close to one another as possible. I withdraw our mouths and open my eyes slightly. She's smiling.

"Wow." She exhales.

"Wow." I respond.

"I- Oh my god!"

And then we're plummited down into another small tunnel of the slide, watching rapid colors pass by us in a blur. We're screaming until a bright light enters our vision. I see water at the end of the tube and already anticipate the splash we're gonna have when we hit the pool.

In mere seconds we're underwater and the next we pop out the surface for air.

"YO! There they are!"

"How was the slide, guys?"

"Did your little picnic date go well up there? You guys were up there awfully long."

The voices of our friends fill my ears.

I look to see where Clarke is and swim to her. We then get out of the cold water and are both given dry towels.

"That slide... whew." Clarke says.

I stare at her and she winks in my direction, making me blush.

"Ohh! I see eye contact between you two!" Raven exclaims.

"Did you guys kiss?" Octavia gasps. "Oh my god!"

Clarke pushes the girls away. "Shut up, you guys."

"They did!" They both shout and jump about.

We both shake our heads, and then out of nowhere kisses me on the cheek. "I had a great time today."

"Me too." I say and kiss her back.


-First day of school-

"Oh my gosh, did you hear about them?"

"They look so hot."

"I can't believe they got together."

"Who knew they would get together."

"I totally knew it would happen."

"Shh! Here they come now."

When school started up again, word got out fairly quickly that Clarke and i were dating. It was literally madness when we entered the building hand in hand. People were staring and whispering. I was getting a bit anxious.

"Hey." Clarke calls out my name. "No need to worry. I'm right here. Right by your side." I nod.

"I didn't think anyone would know about us so quickly."

"Who wouldn't?" Raven pops up holding her cellphone out and recording us. "I posted it all over social media. And the school's website."

"Why would you do that?" Clarke and i ask.

"I don't know if you noticed this before guys, but people literally ship you guys together."

"Ship?"

"Yeah, like pair you guys up together. Before you guys even started dating, there were rumors and a fanclub started because people thought you'd get together eventually. They call you guys Clexa. I dig the name."

I was shocked. "Are you serious?"

"UH, yeah, look around you. Everyone's eyes are on you two."

"Um, do we do something about it?" I ask.

"You could kiss." The brunette suggests.

I instantley start to blush. And so does Clarke, just not as worse as mine.

"Raven." Clarke warns.

"They want to see something between you guys to know if it's true."

"Isn't holding hands good enough?"

"You guys do that naturally, they want something spicier you know."

"We're not gonna kiss each other just because people want to see us do it."

I actually want to kiss her right now. Just because I want to, not for anyone else. "Hey, Clarke?"

And then the bell rings. Groans from all down the halls echo.

"Ah, man. The school bell. Classes start." Clarke sighs, frustrated. "My first class is this way Lexa, I'll meet you in second?"

I nod.

"Okay, i'll see you till then." She gives me a brief kiss to the cheek and i smile. Small squeals erupt to my right and people start to walk to their classes. But as i watch CLarke turn around an urge to kiss overcomes me and i grab onto her wrist lightly before giving a small tug. In one swift movement she's right in front of me and i close the distance between our lips.

A boom of screaming and gasp fill the hallways and shouts of "They're so cute together" "I can't believe this" "my ship has sailed!" were yelled out to us.

When we parted all we could say to each other was, "Wow."

A year ago, i wouldn't believe i would ever be in this kind of situation with Clarke. Ever. But here i am now, with my best friend, my GIRLFRIEND.
