If a day ago you told me that I'll be here standing day dreaming about the beach date, I would have probably bang my head against the locker. Cause there's no way in this god forsaken town would I date, Clarke Griffin. No way...
"Yes way!" Octavia snorted, rolling her eyes. "Look at yourself, Lexa. You're a mess! This morning you practically drooled staring at Clarke's ass when she was bending over by the water fountain. During class Mr Pike practically called you 4 times before you snapped away from your day dreaming of some blonde creature."
Lexa made a mocking face and pouted, "Not my fault it's so round..." She mumbled quietly to herself, sending Octavia to roll her eyes again.
"So are you and blonde head," nodding at Clarke's direction across the hallway, "you know, together together?"
Lexa suddenly snapped her eyes at Clarke's direction as if by bluetooth both of their eyes met and a smile was shared. She shrugged and turn away from Clarke, which means Octavia can see how flustered her cheeks were.
"Damn it, Kane. You are so whipped," Octavia shakes her head.
"How do you do, Ms Kane? Keeping it tight I presume. "
Lexa quickly twirled around and found the blue eyed girl looking at her formally with those arms awkwardly folded behind her back. She frowned and looks at Octavia strangely before meeting Clarke's again.
"What's wrong with you?" Lexa asked, tilting her head.
Clarke quickly looks around before leaning closer, "I'm not sure if people in school should know about us, you know."
"Know about what?" She still playing dumb.
"About our love...," Those blue eyes dances around with hers. "And how tender it is," Clarke answered innocently that got Lexa automatically smiling goofily.
That smile very soon turned into a toothy grin, "Stop making it weird. I don't care," lightly shoving the girl on the shoulder. "Do you mind though?" Suddenly feeling worried that they'll be that the princess and the pauper secret love affair that they have keep in the closet.
Clarke simply grins and pulled Lexa by the shoulders and faced the crowded hallway, "Did you hear that TonDC! Lexa doesn't care! And I don't care! Lexa and I aren't embarrassed to express how tender our love is!" Lexa felt her shoulders being squeezed tightly with her eyes crazily looking around the crowd. "It's extremely tender!" Clarke declared proudly with arm gesture.
It was like a plot from the most typical movies you would ever watch where everybody practically cheered and gave high fives. TonDC is actually - literally - celebrating with the declaration of Clarke's love. I supposed to feel embarrassed or at least shy about it but in truth... I felt magnified. I felt uplifted because Clarke - the popular - wasn't embarrassed being with me. A girl. An outsider. (Not that I care. This town still sucks)
A hand suddenly grabbed Lexa by the wrist and pulled her away from the celebrating crowd. She frowned when she came faced to faced with none other than the B.E.Es. She folded her arms and showed the defiance and bitchiness that she reserves for Clarke's little minions. She raised her chin slightly and said, "Becca, Echo, Emori," she nodded in acknowledgement.
"Lexa," the trio chorused.
"What can I do for you?" Lexa asked all almighty.
Becca tilted her head slightly and flashed a smile, "Congratulations, Lexa!"
"We had no idea things were so tender between the two of you," Echo second.
"No one in their wildest dreams would expect you to snag a popular girl," Emori continued with that sarcastic smile. Lexa wasn't sure if she's being genuine or not - but she doubted it. "It's like that legless swimmer winning the olympics."
"Listen, you're a popular's girlfriend now," Echo pressed.
"And we will overlook your negativity and smugness and embrace you," Becca added curtly a little too excited for the brunette's taste.
"Cause that's what Popular girlfriends do!" Emori exclaimed.
Lexa narrowed her eyes and nodded slowly.
What the heck are this three headed bitches are talking about? They're okay with Clarke and I? I guess that's the perks of being popular, they accept you whatever you are.... Popular's girlfriend? What- What do they do again?
Two warm hands touched her shoulders and she looks behind it's Clarke with that widest smile that she had ever seen.
"You're in safe hands, Lexa. Becca, Echo and Emori are the best trainers for all Popular girlfriends," Clarke said boastfully.
Lexa sarcastically said to the B.E.Es, "you should put that on your college applications."
"Why would we apply for college?" Echo suddenly said with that startled in her eyes.
Becca began shaking her head confusedly and shrugged, "We already find our future husbands."
Lexa felt her eye twitched by the dumbness of the people of TonDC. It was incredible how people survived in this small isolated town. She was already having a massive whiplash with everything that's been going on.
The B.E.E's being extremely nice to her. Clarke forming an actual emotion and TonDC being acceptable and shit.
Oh God... Please remind me the next time I signed up for something let me read up the fine print first.

I wanted to keep an open mind about the Popular girlfriends... but they're making it so DAMN HARD!
Lexa blinked a couple of times and observed what's happening before her.
"This is where we do our boyfriend's homework," Becca announced.
The brunette tilted her head in wonder, watching a group girls scribbling like robots over algebra and science on a library study table.
"But for your case, girlfriend's homework," Echo whispered in her ears.
"... So they can focus on football practice and being popular," Emori added dutifully.
"So we do this for the thank you?" Lexa asked slowly.
"No, Lexa. There are no thank yous. We do it because it's tons of fun!" Becca clapped happily, sending the brunette frown. "Overtime you'll feel their victory will be your victory," When the the brunette was still skeptical, she added with a shrug, "You'll see."

"And this...," Becca pulled Lexa inside two shabby doors and there behold, dozens of girls painting, coloring and glittering over long tables. "is the pep rally nerve centre."
She was stunned, the living condition was terrible. The air was very humid due to the small ventilations. The warehouse have a very strong smell of rugby, paint and... Something else.
I wonder how high were this people to do this kind of ridiculous things. I swear that rugby is getting inside their little brains.
"It- It looks like...," Lexa took in air with a very obvious hint of toxic substance, "a sweat shop." She breathed.
"We call it the devotional pit. Where we express our love, loyalty and allegiance to our boyfriends," Becca continued, smiling ever so fondly.
"Girlfriend...," Echo whispered again on her ear, that made Lexa to make a massive head turn. Echo caught her eyes and winked at her. She gave her an iffy look and looks back at the poor souls.
