Fear (The 100)

Unity Day

"Lincoln!" Cal yells rushing to her best friend and jumping so he has to catch her. He grunts but he catches her anyway and she hugs him tightly.

"I just saw you." Lincoln says, putting her back down on the ground.

"Yeah, like two days ago. I get tired of all the people in camp. They're annoying."

Octavia scoffs from behind her. "Rude."

Cal looks back at her. "It was better when I was in solitary."

"I wouldn't know." She says mockingly.

"I bet those few months without me was torture."

Octavia sticks her tongue out at her and walks up to Lincoln, kissing him. Cal smiles and lifts her eyebrows, going down in the cave where she's been a lot already. Cal stumbles a little when she drops down but keeps walking anyhow. She goes to a box type thing on Lincoln's table and pushes the play button.

I kissed a girl, and I liked it

The taste of her cherry chapstick

"What are you doing?" Lincoln asks the girl as they walk in the cave.

"Dance party!"

"You know that only picks up signals from the past every once in a while."

"So? I don't care how it works; I just want to dance." She walks over to him, pulling him to the middle of his cave and twisting around, like a jig. "Come on. Dance with me!"

Lincoln laughs at her and twirls her around, she giggles. Octavia joins in seconds later and Cal lets go of Lincoln so her best friend can dance with him. She continues dancing and laughing with her best friends and soon the signal of the radio, as Lincoln calls it, goes out which makes them stop and flop down on the ground, laughing. "We have to get back to camp." Octavia says breathless. "Bellamy will wonder where we are."

Cal hums. "No. He'll wonder where you are."

Octavia looks to the side at her. "You don't know how he reacted when you were on the roof. He risked his life for you."

Cal scoffs. "He knew you would, so he did it for you."

"No, Cal, he did it to save you."

She lolls her head to the side to look at her. "No one cares about me that much. Besides, you guys don't need me, you have Raven."

"Raven is nothing compared to my best friend."

Cal smiles at her. "You love me!"

Octavia smiles. "I do. I'd choose you over anyone."

"Even Linc?"

Octavia purses her lips in thought. 'Yeah."

"Hey!" Lincoln yells from the other side of Octavia and both girls laugh. They stand up and the dark-haired girl helps the older boy up. Cal smiles and walks out, giving them privacy. She sits on the ground humming until her friend walks back out, the door closing behind her.

"Bye, Linc!" Cal yells as she stands up.

"Bye, Calliope!"

Cal rolls her eyes and starts walking back to camp with Octavia. "He knows I hate that, and he still calls me that."

"He likes torturing you."

"He's the only one I let call me that."

Octavia smiles at her. "Is he growing on you?"

"We just had a dance party in his cave, what do you think?"

Octavia chuckles and bumps her shoulder against hers. "I think he likes you."
