Better Than Him

Chapter XI

Raven and Clarke were in the castle. They were going to the garden to see the flowers bloom. And maybe to steal some of them but that is a secret. She also knew she had to spend time with Finn today because she hasn't seen much of him. Maybe they would go on another date.

They made it outside and walked to the garden and greenhouse area. The greenhouse was massive. It was mainly made out of windows with the framing being a dark metal color. From the outside, she could see that there were already tons and tons of plants growing inside. She would like to go there.

Raven put an arm around her shoulder. "Where to first?" Raven asked, looking around. "No, you don't get to choose. I do." Clarke let out a long sigh. Raven looked at the greenhouse. "Greenhouse, first."

"I'm fine with that." Clarke said as Raven started to pull her to the greenhouse. They walked around the building, trying to find an entrance but they eventually found it.

She walked in and a wave of humidity hit her. "So what's going on with you and Luna?" Clarke asked as they started to walk. There was about everytime of planet. There were big and small, tall and short plants.

Raven's face lit up in a smile. "I like her so much." Raven said, swooning. "Great in bed too." Clarke rolled her eyes. "She is perfect for me, Clarke. I swear I'll marry her. And! And she said, she'll come back to Arkadia with me, if need be!"

"You have it bad." Clarke said, looking around.

The greenhouse wasn't too exciting. It was very beautiful though. The humidity wasn't very pleasant. She felt sticky the whole time she was there. There were also a few bugs in there and she was not a fan of that. Her and most bugs do not mix well together.

Raven ranted to her about how Luna was the most amazing person ever and how many children they would have. She was also telling her about what they did in bed but Clarke blocked all of it out because she did not want to know what they did in their spare time. Clarke just nodded along pretending to listen.

They left the greenhouse and walked to the garden. Raven looked at Clarke and then kissed her cheek. "How have you been holding up?" Raven asked.

Clarke sighed. "I don't know." Clarke said, truthfully. "I've been thinking though. I think that I'm gonna forget about Lexa." Raven nodded. "Less drama."

"Well, I'll support you with whatever choice you make." Clarke smiled and hugged Raven. "Oh boy. Griffin isn't gonna cry is she?"

"Shut it." Clarke said, pulling away. "You are annoying."

They walked to the garden. Mainly flowers filled the area but there were also vegetable plants. She saw something that looked like tomatoes or something. She wasn't a gardener or anything so she really had no idea what they were.

Clarke and Raven found an empty bench to sit down and relax for a moment. In front of them must have been a type of plant that butterflies loved because there were about twenty of them flying around the plant. Butterflies are the only bug or insect she likes. Butterflies just kind of do their own thing and aren't creep or have a chance of killing you.

"So I heard some people in the castle talking about a celebration happening in the town." Raven said, nudging her. "I don't know if the royalty go down and party but, if they don't, do you wanna sneak out, get a little drunk and have some fun?"

"What's the celebration for?" Raven shrugged. "And yes, I'll go with you but if we just got caught, it's your fault." Raven nodded, smiling.

"Thank you!"

"And you are not ditching me for Luna."

"Jokes on you, Luna is back in Floukru for a few days." Raven said.
