Take a chance

Chapter 3

-Clarke-

We sit in our cell floor, still trying to process the annoucement made by the Chanceler.

'I guess you can see Bellamy tomorrow, O' I said to Octavia, a hint of a smile appearing on my face.

'Yeah, I'm so glad I can finally see him, it feels like we have been appart for far too long, even if it were just two days!' Octavia exclaimed, with a relieved laugh.

Since Octavia's arrival, we got to know each other and I don't know why, but I trust her a lot and I can already predict that we will be great friends.

O was arrested for being born, basically. In the Ark, each couple is only allowed to have a child, and since her parents already had a child, her older brother Bellamy, she had to remain hidden since the day she was born, sixteen years ago.

She told me that when the guards came to inspect each living compartment, she would hide, with the help of her brother, in a cupboard, when she was smaller, and lately under the floorboards in their living room.

She also hasn't stopped talking about Bellamy, who also was arrested, for not telling the Council that he had a sister. I can tell that she loves him a lot and vice versa.

Honestly, I don't know what to think about him. Before I was arrested, there were a lot of rumours about him, and they weren't exactly positive.

It was said that he slept with almost every girl in the Ark. He just used them and dumped them afterwards.

But it was also said that he was extremely good looking, with his tanned skin, dark brown eyes, shaggy hair and defined muscles. He had every girl falling at his feet.

So I am kind of nervous to meet him tomorrow.

'So Clarke, are anxious to meet the other prisioners?' asked O, interrupting my train of thought.

'Well, I'm finally going to be able to see if your brother is as awesome as you describe him.' I replied with a playful voice.

'He is, you'll see. I bet you are going to like him a lot!' O giggled.

'Stop it O, I just want to make some friends'

'If that is what you want to think, fine, I'll stop.' she says with an exasperated huff.

'Yeah, whatever O, good night.'

'Night Clarke'

------

I wake up with O screaming right on my ears 'Get up you lazy girl! They are letting us go to the Prision's living room any moment now!'

'Octavia, calm down, let me get ready'

Five minutes later, a guard opens our cell door, escorting us to the living room.

I take a deep breath as the guard opens the door, allowing us to enter the room.
