THE CAMP WAS growing restless, with Jasper's screams piercing their ears like a never ending headache.
"Can he just die already?" Someone yells out, the other delinquents joining in on shouting threats at Jasper as if it would magically end his suffering.
Nova sat at the entrance of the drop ship, Wesley by her side. Her mind was consumed with her conversation with Octavia the night before. She couldn't help but wonder if Wesley blamed her for their mother's floating. But amidst the chaos of Jasper's agonizing screams, that concern seemed a bit irrelevant. Frustrated, she ran her hands through her hair and muttered, "I'm gonna kill myself."
Wesley gives her a side glance and says, "Do it." He taunts her with a smirk. Nova looks up at him and pushes him lightly, saying, "You wouldn't know what to do without me." Wesley bursts into laughter and heads inside the drop ship to check on Jasper, not acknowledging Clarke who is heading out of the ship.
When Clarkes eyes find Nova she advances towards her, "Want to come with me to get some water for Jasper?"
"I'm too damn tired."
Before Clarke could reply, a girls screams filled the air, making Clarke head towards the source of the noise, but Nova headed towards her own tent to go to sleep, assuming the yell was just produced by some of the teens fooling around.

"𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐍 𝐊𝐈𝐃, always messing with my head." Murphy grumbles, trying to justify his failed knife throw. Nova chuckles in agreement, saying, "Yeah he's giving me a headache, but I'd rather listen to him scream, than him be 6 feet under."
As Murphy and Nova were chatting, a voice interrupts them, "He's not gonna last much longer. Better think of a new excuse." Bellamy remarks, referring to Murphy's failed attempt of knife throwing. With a confident swing of his axe, Bellamy raises it high and strikes the tree dead center, proclaiming, "That's how it's done." His display of skill leaves no room for doubt.
"Watch and learn, Johnny," Nova says. She's not so impressed by Bellamy's display, but also wants to taunt Murphy. She grabs said boys knife and hurls it towards the tree, landing it right next to Bellamy's. With a smirk, she adds, "Take notes."
Just as Nova finishes her sentence, Atom and more of Bellamy's goons approach. She quickly tunes out their conversation and starts observing the other delinquents walking around, seeming just as annoyed as Murphy at Jaspers loudness.
