CLARKE
The next day I wake up in a happy mood, Bellamy is standing by the door and Octavia is still asleep. I sit up to let Bellamy no I'm awake, "morning princess" he says with his usual smirk. "Morning king" I say joking about and he laughs, Octavia suddenly says "if he's the king and your the princess them what am I?" She sits up and stares at me "you're the... Kings sister?" I said it more like a question but she smiles and says "so another princess?" I nod my head in agreement and get out of bed, "ah guys I thought today you could have a bed day, a day where you don't get out of bed. Be lazy for a day." Bellamy says so I hop back into bed, "what are we suppose to do all day Bell?" Octavia asks and I looked at Bellamy, "nothing!" He says with a smile on his face. "We do nothing everyday!" Octavia says loudly but is still smiling. "She is right." I say whilst nodding my head, Bellamy comes and sits on Octavia's bed, "let's talk, play games, tell each other our secrets!" He says a bit to excitedly, "Bellamy when did you turn into a girl?" I ask, I pull a serious face so he thinks I'm not joking. "I don't know, maybe when I found out I have to spend a week with you two."

BELLAMY
I'm excited, I found out this morning that in two weeks time I'm being promoted to a personal guard that watches the privileged, I'd have more rations and a weapon. I'm not going to tell Octavia and Clarke, so I have to play it cool, which I'm not really doing because like Clarke said, I'm acting like a girl.. But oh well, one day being a girl couldn't hurt anyone. "So let's play truths." Octavia says whilst getting off the bed and trying her best to push it closer to Clarke's. "Okay O and you could just ask me to get up." I say, I stand up and she pushes the bed to Clarke to make a double bed, "Clarke you first, who's the first boy you kissed?" Octavia asks and Clarke take a minuet to think and then bursts out laughing, "oh my god, I remember.. A boy called Jasper Jordan, he and Monty Green are my best friends and one night Monty dared me to kiss Jasper.. It was so funny and I think I even videoed it, I can show you when we get out of here!" O smiles and it's Clarke's turn to asks someone a question, "Bellamy is it true you've slept with every girl in your class? Because I've heard rumours!" She says, "it's not true, it's more like most of the girls in my class.." I say trying to defend myself but failing. "Okay Clarke how many people have you slept with?!" I ask back loudly, "just two people." She replies. I was expecting her to say none, that's she's a virgin and I was shocked to hear she's slept with more than one person. "Really? That must be hard considering your practically royalty." O says and Clarke laughs, "yeah well as you know I don't stick to the rules, the people I've slept with are actually from your class." O jumps onto her knees and begs Clarke to tell her who they were, Octavia didn't even know anyone from anywhere but she still wanted to know. "Okay well one of them is called John Murphy, he was a one night stand after one of Jaspers illegal parties. And the other one is called Finn Collins, I had a relationship with him, well what I thought was a relationship, turned out he had a girlfriend. But anyway yeah, know any of them Bellamy?" I nod my head, "I know both of them and I hate Finn!" She smiles when I say I hate Finn and it makes me feel happy for about a split second she asks me if I like Murphy and he is practically my best friend, "yeah, he's a mate." She smiles again, "good, he's actually a really nice guy isn't he." She asks and I nod my head, it slightly angered me to find out that he had slept with her but I always new that he had slept with a 'beautiful blonde' as he described but he failed to mention the part where she is a privileged.. Oh well, it was a one night stand, nothing more.

OCTAVIA
We played the game for another hour but then decided to play would you ever, we asked each other twenty questions each, after that we just talked about anything and everything, it's not coming up six o clock and it's shower time, Shumway wasn't in today so it was all alright, we returned to our cell, ate our rations then went to bed.

The next few days fly by and today is visiting day. Clarke is getting ready, brushing her hair and teeth and she is soon out the door and heading to her mother.
Half an hour later Clarke returns with a sad look on her face and Bellamy and I assume the worse, "pack your things O your going home!" I jump with joy and Clarke continues "and.. I'm moving into your class!!!! We leave in 2 hours!" I can't stop smiling and even Bellamy is smiling and laughing, this was amazing! I was free. I wouldn't have to hide under the floor anymore! "Bellamy there's a job for you as well.. My mother said I could move class on one condition.. I have a personal guard, I heard you got promoted so I asked for you!" Bellamy laughs and is happy, he will get to hang out with Clarke and I and get paid for it.. Best job ever I think.

BELLAMY
They get let out and I take the rest of the day off "we'll turn mums room into yours." I say and Octavia agrees. Clarke comes back to mine with us and stays the night, we told her she could stay with us until she gets her own place and she agreed, "you and O will have to share a bed.. is that alright?" I ask and Clarke agrees, I'm so happy she asked for me to be her personal guard, I'd get to stay with her and Octavia and look after them, make sure they don't get any shit from anyone. I'm wanting to see Shumways face when he realises they're let out, Clarke didn't tell her mother about Shumway unfortunately but oh well, Clarke isn't a mean person, even if someone has been mean to her she would still do nothing.. She only got angry if someone she loved was in trouble or someone was being mean to them, then she would even get physical, as she did with those girls trying to fight that little Charlotte girl.
Clarke goes into our mothers room with Octavia and looks around, "your mother has good taste." She says looking at a CD of Calvin Harris' music. "You mean had." Octavia said and I felt sadness fill my body, hearing Octavia say 'had' just made me realise that this is reality, my mother is dead, gone forever, never to return to this house, sit on her bed or read to Octavia at night time.

CLARKE
"Guys I'm going to go visit Charlotte, wanna come?" I ask Bellamy and Octavia and they both agree, we walk through the halls of the Ark until we reach Charlotte's house. I knocked our secret knock and Charlotte opened it straight away, she pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back tightly, "I'm missed you so much Clarke!" She says excitedly but she soon goes shy when she sees Octavia and Bellamy. "It's okay, there cool." I say and she smiles and welcomes us into her house. "Do you want some food?" Charlotte asks and I get annoyed, "Charlotte what have I told you! You don't offer food to anybody! Not even me, you need it to survive okay?!" I ask and Bellamy laughs, "what?" I ask turning to face him, "she's just like you Clarke." Bellamy says and I smile widely, I loved Charlotte but being like me means not caring for herself and Charlotte couldn't afford to do that, she needed to be selfish but I know it's not her nature and it worries me. Octavia, Bellamy and I sit on the sofa and Charlotte gets us all some water to drink. "Thankyou." Bellamy and Octavia say, accepting the water from Charlotte. "So what's up Clarke, why are you here?" Charlotte asks so I decide to get right to the point, "I get weekly rations now, I've moved into your class but I can go to my mothers every week and get some things from there to give to you.." Charlotte nods, Bellamy and Octavia sit there in silence, once I've finished discussing things with Charlotte we leave and go back to there's. "Guys I'm getting all my things when I move into my place, like my TV, DVDs and all the stuff that the privileged have.. You can come over for movie nights and that.." I say and Bellamy and Octavia sit down, "Clarke we were actually thinking you should move in with us.. Bellamy is going to be your personal guard indefinitely so it would work out the best this way.." Octavia explains and I agree, "you guys are getting a TV!" I shout in joy and they laugh with me. "My bed and that can be brought down tomorrow, our room is quite big Octavia so there will be loads of room for two beds, a wardrobe and a chest of draws right?" I ask and O agrees, "good." I say and we all sit there smiling at each other.
Things just keep getting better and better by the day.
