Not my story
"You know we don't have to go. We can make up some lame excuse and instead stay home all weekend and go to the spa. My nails could totally use a touch up anyway." Raven said sympathetically sitting on her best friend and roommate's bed as she packed her bag.
Clarke sighed sadly as she looked down at the suitcase. They had all been planning this camping trip for months and she really didn't want to be the debby downer who cancelled on them because of some guy. Well truth be told he wasn't just some guy he was her best friend but still they had all taken off work and everything she wasn't about to ruin it.
"I just don't understand why she has to come" Clarke said throwing in her favorite purple bikini. It was essential that she looked hot this weekend if she had to put up her façade that she wasn't jealous of her best friend Bellamy's new girlfriend.
Only Raven knew about Clarke's "secret" feelings for Bellamy, though Raven convinced her that these feelings were clear long before Clarke admitted them to her one night after she had had a little too much to drink. Her friend had pushed her to tell Bellamy and Clarke had somewhat tried and somewhat chickened out only for Bellamy to end up dating some new girl named Echo who was now coming on their long planned camping trip.
"Don't look at me I wanted to go to the beach for the weekend. But noooo we have to go friggen camping. Do you know how much mosquitos love me Clarke? I'm going to get eaten alive. AND don't get me started on the fact that once my phone dies there's no way to charge it." Raven huffed falling backwards onto her back in a dramatic motion on Clarke's bed.
Clarke rolled her eyes. Truthfully she had liked the idea of camping but now that Echo was coming any outing where she might have to hear her and Bellamy having sex in a tent next to hers made her feel nauseous.
"I told you I bought plenty of bugs spray and these fancy clip on things that are supposed to create some type of anti-bug force field." Clarke said throwing in her last pair of shorts and closing the suitcase up. "You'll be fine".
There heard the door open and the familiar sounds of two of their friends coming through their apartment.
"Are you two almost ready? I want to get there early. We're planning on setting up a fire work show for everyone tonight" a head popped around the door and they saw their friend Jasper with a large smirk on his face.
"Please tell me you didn't make the fireworks..." Clarke said with skepticism looking over at Raven.
Another face, Monty, came into view. "You bet we did. It's going to be awesome. I'm not talking little sparklers I'm talking BOOM."
Clarke felt her eyes go wide and Raven gave a reassuring look. "I'll make sure they don't blow us up" she said with a smirk and Clarke was never more grateful in her life that Raven was not only a mechanic but extremely smart.
"Whatever so can we go?" Jasper asked anxiously looking around. "Where's Octavia, Lincoln, Wick and Bellamy?"
"Picking up Echo" Clarke said not meaning for the girl's name to come out with such disgust. Raven noticed and raised her eyebrows at Clarke who just shrugged. "And Raven said Wick is on his way".
Jasper frowned "Why is she coming?"
Raven gave him a look "You're surprised Bellamy is bringing is new girlfriend?"
Jasper had a funny look on his face, "I don't know it's just weird...you know with all the sexual tension between Bellamy and Clarke".
Clarke rolled her eyes. She had never outright told Monty and Jasper she had feelings for Bellamy and certainly wasn't going to now that he had a girlfriend but the two boys had always had this idea that Bellamy and Clarke were madly in love and going to get married.
