Chapter Text
She was running late.
She was supposed to be at school in less then 15 minutes, insted she was stuck in the traffic, on a stinking bus, mentally cursing the bus driver in all the ways she could come up with.
Anyother day of the week, she wouldn't give a damn about it, but unfortunatelly today was wednesday.
Clarke hated wednesdays. It wasn't because of the obnouxious ring it had to her hears, or the fact that there where at least another 2 days before the weekend, nope, it was because her first lesson of
the day was English, with miss-fucking-Woods, her general like teacher.
Most of the kids that had the 'joy' of being in her class tought she was plauged with a bad case of 'pole stuck up your ass'. The remaining part of the students tought that she didn't get laid in ages.
Clarke re-enterd in the first group of stundets, because she belived that nobody as hot as miss Woods wouldn't be able to get laid for so long to become such the bitch she is.
The omega might had one of the most obnoxious personality in the world, but Clarke was sure that her beauty made it up for it.
Clarke toughts about miss Woods would start as pure, she'd think of her perfect green piercing eyes, that seemed to be able to look into people's soul. Then she would think of the omega's demeanor,
so cold and distant that would make her look like she was the twisted creation of a mad man, who achived perfection, selling the woman's soul to the devil himself.
But then Clarke would remind herself of the woman's scent, a rich perfume of pine that seemed tainted with the sweet smeel of wet soil and that actually made her real. Not the personification of etreal and
unattainable beauty.
Then she would think of the woman's brown locks, that reminded her of silk, she'd think of how they'd look spread on a pillow, more specifically her pillow. From that point Clarke's toughts usually started
to get dirtier and dirtier.
She would think of how good it would feel to touch the woman, to feel her skin under her fingertips, to lock her hands in her beautiful brown hair, to grace that same skin with her lips, to conquer the omega's smart mouth with her own. Then, she would think of how good it would be to discover new portion of that delicate sunkissed skin, of how it would feel having the entirety of her body pressed
into her own, writhing underneat her, while the omega would be showing her neck in sign of submission, begging for the alpha to knot her thoughout the entire night and then letting her bite her neck, giving hers......
The blonde stopped her trail of thoughts about miss Woods, because she knew, that those thoughts would only get filthier if she kept thinking about her teacher, so the young girl decided to focus on
her surroundings and realized she was one bus stop away from school.
When the bus stopped to drop the student off, Clarke checked her watch and discovered she still had 3 minutes to get to the class, wich obviously was on the other side of the campus from the school entrance.
The young alpha chose to run to the class, and to her own stupor she made it in 4.28 minutes.
Unfortunatelly for her the door was already closed, so she knocked and opened it.
As soon as the wood pannel was out of the way Clarke was met with annoyed green eyes.
They bored into her own for a few seconds before the brunette said " Griffin, you are late, again".
Clarke still panting because of her jog, started her apology saying "I'm sorry ma'am but the bus was super la.."
The blonde girl was interrupted with an harsh "The reason why you were late doesn't matter to me Griffin. Go sit, and remember to stop at my desk at the end of the lesson." The teacher then, turned her attention back at the class, while a very angry Clarke made her way to her chair, while mumbling she was just 1.28 minutes late, wich was basically on time for any normal person.
____________
Clarke spent the entire class glaring at her teacher, she knew that she would get saturday morning detention because of her morning tardiness. She had already been late twice to miss Woods' class and
escaped detention with her best puppy eyes. The young alpha actually tought the teacher had a soft for her, but she couldn't be sure of it considering the stoic attitude of the omega.
She absolutely couldn't get stuck at school on a saturday morning. She had to go to work, she desperately needed the money or she'd have to sleep at the shelter again. The motel bed wasn't more confortable of
the shelter bed, but at least there she didn't have to fear theves.
No matter how hard she tried, when the bell rang Clarke still hadn't found a good exuse to give to the teacher, so she aproached the woman's desk defeated, thinking she'd just have to hope for the best.
____________
"Griffin, you have been late 3 times to my class" miss Woods staded. "I should have given you detention the first time you were. Do you have a good reson for wich I shouldn't give you detention this time?" the teacher said pinching the bridge of her nose.
"I swear the bus was late for real!!!" Clarke answered, maybe with a bit too much enphasis.
"This is your excuse every single time Griffin, if you know you'll be late for class taking that bus, why do you keep taking it?"
Clarke opened her mouth and closed it a few times not knowing what to answer to her teacher, so the omega started to talk again "I'm sorry Clarke but I have to punish your tardiness, I will see you on saturday morning for it."
"I have to work, please can't you just forget it one more time? I promise you it won't happen again!"
The brunette fixated Clarke with a murderous glare before saying "No Clarke, now leave before you get more detention for being late for your next class." With that the brunette concluded the agument.
After that Clarke glared at the woman a few more seconds, before deciding to leave. She didn't want to be punished even more for being rude, so she went on with her day, hoping that Raven's mom would just
dissapear again so she could crash at the girl's house.
She felt a very crappy friend for thinking about it for the whole day.
_____________
When Clarke arrived at the cafeteria, she spotted Octavia and Raven alredy seated at their usaul table.
She filled a tray with food, 'mmm pizza day, yey!' she tought, and then went to sit down near her two omega friends. Octavia was a feisty girl that smelt like rain and charcol, while Raven was a witty girl that smelt like fuel and metals.
They were two atipical omegas, they had both strong personality, and both of their scent were something
you loved or hated, just like their personalities. Obviously Clarke loved them.
"Hey Clarkey!" Octavia and Raven greeted her at the same time, an the cuckled a little over the fact.
"Hey, girls, how are you doing?" Clarke answered.
"We're great Clarke, but we heard that today somebody finally got detention from the Commander!" Raven said, while Octavia giggled.
Clarke groaned at them and then proceded telling them she'll have to come at school on saturday instead of working. And both her friends knew what it ment for Clarke.
"Shit Clarke we're sorry, maybe I could ask my mom to make you sleep at mine." Octavia said.
"Naa, no need fot that O, you know how your mom gets when an alpha nears you." Clarke shuddered, she still feared Octavia's mom. She got hit with an umbrella, repeatedly, after being found on Octavia's room floor asleep. "Yeah, I agree with Clarke O, not an option." came Bellamy's voice from behind Clarke. He was fallowed by Jasper, Monty and Wells. All of their places weren't an option beacause their parents would smell Clarke from 10 miles distance.
"Mmm, maybe my mom will leave tonight Clarke and you can come at mine, I'll text you if she leaves." Raven said with a sympathetic look. "Yeah, thanks Rae let me know if it happens. anyway let's change the subject of the discussion please."
"Sure, why don't we talk about the fact, that the teacher's pet got detention today." Bellamy said, making everyhody at the table laugh, except Clarke.
The friends kept making fun of each other untill the end of luch, and then they separated to go on with their day.
_________
After school Clarke went to the Ark café for her shift. It was boring as usual, she hated that job.
She had to deal with rude costumers the whole time, with a fake smile on her face. But she needed the money so she kept going on no matter what.
When it finally ended, her shitty day got even worst, because she
found out it was raining like hell outside. She also didn't have an umbrella, wich was an item she hated after what happened with O's mom.
She pulled on her hood and started her trek towards the damn shelter, when a car pulled up near her.
At the driver's seat was seated miss Woods, that basically commanded Clarke to get in the veicol, leaving the young alpha no other choice then the one to obey.
"So where do I take you Clarke?" the omega asked kindly.
Clarke had no idea of how to answer that. So she simply stared at the woman untill she herd her ask, the same question again. At that point Clarke hoped for the best and decided to give the shelter adress
to the teacher hoping she wouldn't relize where she'd be taking the girl.
Clarke wasn't so lucky. "Clarke, why are you staying at a shelter?" the woman asked. Clarke stared ahead of her, she did everything she could not to look in the woman's eyes while she said "If you're not going to take me there, you can just leave me here right now."
"That is not what I asked you, Clarke." Clarke started to move to get out of the car, when a firm hand
gripped her forearm.
"Wait, it's downpouring outside."
"I know, but still I have to reach the damn shelter, so if you're not taking me there you'd better let go of me right now." Clarke growled losing a bit of her temper.
The omega frowned, and glared a little at the alpha, then said "Give me a minute to think about it."
Clarke knew, that the omega was thinking about calling the police or not, after all Clarke was still a 16 years old alpha, that ran away from home, even if her mom didn't declare the fact at the police,
she would still be taken back there by them.
After what felt like an hour, the brunette finally took a decision.
"Fine, I'll drive you."
Clarke smiled and thanked the teacher. The journey was made in complete silence. An awkward one.
After a while, Clarke wasn't reconizing the streets anymore, and she remembered the way to the shelter perfectly, so she growled angrily to the driver "Where the fuck are you taking me?"
"To my place, Clarke" the omega answered nonchalantly.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Do you mind stop cursing? I find it crass. Anyway I know for sure, that the shelter ran out of place tonight, Clarke." miss Woods paused to look at Clarke, "I volounteer there few nights a week. With such a rain we had to let everybody in."
Clarke should have tought about this. She should've known, that with such rain they'd take in whoever would show up at their door, and not just underage people.
The young alpha stayed silent few more moments, breathing in the calming pheromones the omega was now emanating.
"Thank you" she whispered. She couldn't belive, that this woman was kind enough to take an almost unkwon pup alpha in her house, even if it was for just one night. Miss Woods smiled at her, and then nodded just once.
After that the silence remained, but it wasn't as awkward as the previous one, mostly thanks to the calming pheromones the omega was emanating.
Clarke loved them, she didn't feel so calm in ages. She tought she actually felt content, one thing she'd never thought to feel again.
The alpha knew she was staring at the driving goddes, but she couldn't help it.
She felt a weird affection toward the woman. It wasn't simply gratitude, but real affection.
Clarke was a little afraid of how easily this woman was winning her over, but in that moment, the alpha couldn't bring herself to care.
