Chapter 22

I never believed that proverb - Time heals all wounds.

But sometimes it turned out to be true and sometimes it didn't.

I left school after the end of class, and soon Bellamy joined me.

"Hey. " He greeted with a smile that I returned.

"Hey. What did you get in biology? " I asked.

"D -." Boy said proudly.

"Well done. " I patted him on the shoulder.

" What did you get in math? " he asked.

"D +." I laughed.

"Ooh, you. " Boy also laughed. "Well, my congratulations, princess. You pierced me. "

We walked so slowly, talking to each other. It was very nice. At one point, boy took my hand, and I didn't protest, but smiled slightly at this gesture.

"You know..." Man stopped for a moment, so I did the same, but we were still holding hands. We didn't go too far from school. Some students looked at us as they passed us, but I didn't care now. "Maybe we could go somewhere together? " Brunet asked. "Just you and me... "

I smiled gently.

"You mean... Like a date? " I asked uncertainly.

"Yes..." Brunet also smiled. "What do you think? "

I felt myself blush. I wanted to answer him, but our further conversation was interrupted.

When brunet heard his voice, he immediately let go of my hand and hesitantly turned towards him.

"Hello, son..." Man said with a smile.

Oh God... That was his father?! But what was he doing here?

I didn't know what to do. I looked at Bellamy. Blake covered me and told me to stay behind him. Then I looked back at his father.

"D-Dad...? " Boy was surprised. "What are you doing here? "

"I came for my son, am I not allowed to? "H asked, folding his arms over his fat belly.

"I'm an adult now, you didn't have to. " brunet replied.

"You're my son and I know what is best for you. " He said. "Besides, you should obey your father. " Man sharpened his voice. "And who is that? " Looked at me.

"It's..." Blake glanced at me, and I looked at him.

"Your girlfriend? " Gale asked and looked at his son with a sharp look.

I guess he wouldn't like it if I were Bellamy's girlfriend and he wouldn't know about it. I was slowly beginning to understand why Blake was protecting me from him so much.

"She..." Bellamy began, but again someone interrupted him.

"She's my girlfriend. " Murphy finished for him, then walked over to me and put his arm around me.

Blake and I both breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of our friend. He saved us.

"Your gilrfriend? " Older Blake was surprised.

"Yes. " Murphy said proudly. "It's so strange? My princess completely changed my life for the better. " Man looked at me. "She's my world to me. Yes, honey? " Murphy kissed my cheek.

I was in such shock that I didn't know what to do, but after a while I replied.

"Oh, don't exaggerate. " I smiled slightly.

"You didn't say anything. "Gale noted.

"Because... I didn't know if it'll work out. It took a while to understand how we really felt about each other. " Said it and looked at me and Bellamy with a pointed look. I think we knew what he meant...

"Romantic. " Bellamy's fatehr sighed. "And will you tell me your name, princess? " In his words this nickname sounded terrible.

"Clarke..." I said uncertainly.

"Nice. "

"Thank you... "

Gale was looking at me with great interest, which made me very nervous. After a while, however, he turned to his son.

"Come on, Bellamy. " He said confidently and started on his way back. "Now. " Added in a voice forbidding any objection.

Blake said nothing but sighed, glanced at us, whispered "thank you" to Murphy and followed his father.
