Chapter 20

Fortunately, the days passed quickly and today was the trial day. I was hoping this case would finally be over.

After school, I went to the cemetery, to Raven. Octavia went there with me. We put fresh flowers on the grave and lit candles.

"Good to have you, Clarke. " Octavia said and took my hand. "I couldn't have done it without you and the others."

"Neither am I without you. " I replied and hugged my friend.

***

The trial has begun. Octavia and I, and a few other people in our pack were witnesses. They called us one by one, and in the courtroom and lawyers asked us questions that we had to answer truthfully. So we did.

Our opponents defended themselves a lot and kept saying that Bellamy was guilty after all, but at the end Garret couldn't stand it. Bellamy provoked him well and the boy pleaded guilty.

The court acquitted Blake and boy was to be released soon.

Overjoyed, we left the courtroom and decided to collect our friend from prison together.

Afterwards, we waited outside the building for Bellamy. Within a few long minutes, we finally saw a familiar face. Brunet seeing us smiled and shook his head in disbelief.

"Did you miss me so much? " He approached us with a broad smile.

"You don't even know. " Jasper replied with an equally broad smile, and after a while he came over and hugged his friend, just like everyone else in turn.

"Hey, princess. " Man smiled when it was time to greet us.

I smiled broadly and threw myself on boy's neck. At last I had him next to me again. I don't know what I would do if I lost him.

***

Two months have passed since all these unpleasant events. I managed to improve my grades at school and my relations with classmates improved a bit.? Anyway, things slowly started to fall into place.

But the problem I have to face right now is... To confess to Bellamy how I feel about him. It was much more difficult than I thought. In addition, this assignment made it difficult for me to have the feeling that he only saw me as a friend and nothing else. Octavia, like Raven once, said quite the opposite, but the fear of rejection still remained.

It was Saturday afternoon, and Bellamy and I made our way to the roof. The same as always. We wanted to talk because we haven't had much time for it recently through study and work at home.

I missed this. We were able to laugh, gossip and generally talk about everything and nothing at the same time.

"Clarke? "

"Hm? " I looked at boy.

"Can I ask you something? " He asked.

"You'll do it anyway. " I quoted his words when I once asked him the same question. Brunet smiled when he heard that.

"Why you never had a boyfriend? " Asked after a moment.

He completely surprised me with this question.

"I don't want to be nosy..." He said right away. "I just wondered... Why such a cool, smart, kind and beautiful girl never had a boyfriend...? "

"You know..." I started hesitantly. "Actually, I don't know. " I lowered my head sadly. "I guess no one never really liked me. No one was interested in my person... Maybe I never came across this one... Or just... I'm unlucky in love. "

Man considered my words.

"And you? " I looked at him. "Did you find your love? The only one? " I asked uncertainly.

Blake looked into my eyes for a moment and then lowered his head.

"The only one? " He repeated my words. "No. There used to be some girls... But I never came across... The only one. " He said.

"I'm a little jealous of Octavia, you know?" I said suddenly. "She finally felt what it was like... Lincoln and Octavia look really lovely together. The way they hold hands, how Lincoln leaves her little flower in the cupboard every day, how they kiss, or even how they talk about each other. Something amazing... " I said looking at the view of the city. "I've never known such a feeling... And sometimes I feel like it never comes. "

"It will. " Brunet interjected. "It only takes time..." Added and lowered his head sadly.

I started to feel like he wasn't telling me something.

"You're right about them. " He said after a moment. "It all looks like... As if they were just made for each other. "

"Yeah..." I agreed with him.

We sat in silence for several minutes until Blake interrupted it.

"Clarke...?" He said after a moment. " You never have the first kiss? "

Another question that surprised me completely.

"Oh, you know you can talk to me about anything. " He said with a warm smile. "Even that your period is late. " Added and I laughed at it.

"Thanks..." I smiled. "And no..." I added hesitantly. "I've never have..." I lowered my head sadly.

"You know..." Man said after a few long moments. "We can change that... If you want to. " I looked at him. "I want that the person who will kiss you first... That he'd really cared about you." Added. "But only if you want to. " Boy looked into my eyes. "Would you like to...? "

I was stunned and very, to be honest, I wanted it very much.

But I ran out of words, so in response I smiled gently and nodded my head.

Bellamy leaned closer, glanced at my lips, then back into my eyes, and so did I.

After a moment he touched my cheek with his hand, he brought his lips to mine, and a moment later he joined our lips together in a warm kiss, which I returned after a while. I tentatively placed one hand on his torso and the other on his cheek. The feeling that accompanied me then was amazing.

When, after a long moment, we moved away from each other, and our faces were still millimeters apart.

We looked deep into each other's eyes.

"And? " Brunet asked with a warm smile. "Did you like it? " He whispered.

"Very..." I replied the same.

Man was still looking at me with that beautiful smile.

After a while, we rested our foreheads against each other.

This day seems to be... I'll count one of the best days of my life.
