The 100 HIGHSCHOOL

Part 22

Clarke's POV:

Lexa and I have decided to go to Rockpoint with Octavia and Lincoln. Maybe it was good that Indra was busy because I have a feeling it would be awkward sitting in between 2 couples.

As I sat next to Lexa, staring at the stars, I couldn't help but smile. Life was finally good at this moment, and it was a really hard journey to get here.

"We have a meeting for the coalition tomorrow." Lexa says, pulling me from my thoughts.

I shift my focus from the beautiful night sky to the beautiful girl next to me and smile at her.

"Clarke, I'm really glad I met you." Lexa says, and the smile on her face melts my heart.

"Met too Lexa."

"What about me Clarke? Aren't you glad you met me?" Lincoln asks from the other side of the rock where he's sitting next to Octavia.

"Of course Lincoln I love you."

"Woah Clarke, gold your horses ok, not cool." Octavia says, giggling like a little kid.

"Shut up O you know what I mean." I say smiling at my best friend.

"It's completely plutonic babe." Lincoln laughs, cuddling closer to Octavia.

"Don't make me kiss Clarke so you see how it feels." Octavia jokes with Lincoln.

"No one is kissing Clarke but me." Lexa interrupts and it causes us to all start laughing.

"So what's the meeting about tomorrow?" I ask, curious about why we were having one.

"It's a goodbye party for all the seniors in the coalition and the next commander will be chosen." Lexa replies simply. I feel my heart drop, as I realize what she's staying. Lexa is a senior and Lexa is commander so Lexa is leaving.

She must have saw the sad expression on my face because she interrupted my thoughts quickly. "Don't worry Clarke. I will choose wisely and I will make them promise their Loyalty to you."

"I don't want the next commander Lexa, I want you." I say, as my voice cracks a little.

"Hey it's ok Clarke, I will always be with you."

Its these words that break me and a few tears start to fall down my cheeks. Lexa moves her hand to wipe them but I stop her and I stand up. I'm sorry guys I have to go, I say as I walk away. I can't turn back around and look at Lexa because I know that if I do I won't be able to keep moving. It's not that I'm upset with Lexa, she didn't do anything wrong. I just need some time to think.
