Clarity

Chapter - 42

Bellamy arrived for his shift expecting Clarke to be cold and angry at him like she was the day before. He was surprised to find her in a good mood and cooking.

"Good morning." He said worried that this was all some sort of trap.

"Good morning." She answered him and then clicked off the stove.

"Ah-huh." He responded.

"Sit. I'm making breakfast." She told him with a huge smile on her face.

"Fine." He answered then sat down in the chair.

Bellamy was not shore what else to do. He was scared that if he questioned what was going on she would get angry with him again. He was also worried that she may be trying to passion him.

"I hope you're hungry?" She said to him as she placed the food down in front of him.

He looked down at the bowl of oatmeal with fresh berries. He moved his eyes over to the plate of toast and what they called eggs on the Ark.

Clarke sat down across from him and started eating her own portion but Bellamy could not make himself take a bite. All he could think about was how easy it would have been for her to slip some of that medicine she has hidden in her room into the oatmeal. He would never no.

"Is something wrong with your food?" Clarke asked Bellamy when she realized he had not takin a bite yet.

"No I'm just not hungry." He answered.

"Sense when? You're always hungry." She asked him.

He continued to look down at his food not shore what to say to Clarke. She then reached over and took a spoonful of his food and eat it.

"It tastes fine Bellamy. Eat." She told him.

This time he listened. He could not help but smile at how stupid he was being. Of course Clarke was not trying to kill him she was just bipolar.

And she was right the food tasted great like it always did. He had to admit she was a great cook. But when you have the best ingredients on the Ark how could whatever you make not taste really good.

"Told you, you were hungry." Clarke said to him when she grabbed his empty dishes and walked over to the sink.

"You just love being right don't you?" He asked her.

"Who doesn't like being right?" She answered him.

Bellamy could not help but smile at her when she turned her back to him. This girl was crazy but there was something incredibly intriguing about her.

"So what are we doing today?" He asked her.

"Well." Clarke said not finishing her sentence making Bellamy a little nervous.

"Well what?" Bellamy asked her.

"Well tonight I want to go hang out at Jaspers. Him and Monty invited me over." She told him.

"There not on the list." Bellamy told her.

Clarke let out a frustrated huff when she heard him speak those words. The list was made by her mom. She hated that dam thing. It was basically a list of people her mother approved of her being friends with. Her mom did not want her to be seen with anyone from the lower class.

"No one is on that list." She told him. "You have let me get away with worse than hanging out with two of my friends. Plus Jasper and Monty are harmless." She assured him.

"Your mom will be pissed." Bellamy told her.

"She does not need to know." Clarke told him with a smile on her face.

"Your mom knows everything." He responded trying to talk her out of her plan.

"That's not true. She does not know about my patients. She does not know about you and she does not have to know about this." Clarke answered.

"First off your patients are going to get you floated. Second there is nothing to know about me. And third were is she going to think you will be?" He asked her.

"I told her I was going to be studding with Wells." She told him.

"Jaha's son. Seriously, why would you think that would work?" He asked her.

"Our parents are going to be in meetings all night. They will have no idea what any of us are really doing. I will be back and in bed before my parents even get home." She told him.

"The answer is still no." Bellamy answered her.

"I don't get you." She snapped at him. "You will help be brake the laws but not hang out with my friends." She said to him.

"These are two different situations." He said to her.

"No there not. I help those people because the ones who can wont. And I am asking you to help me hang out with people just like you because my mom does not think there good enough to be seen with me. People like me choose to ignore them but I won't." She snapped at him.

Bellamy looked back at her. He was not shore what to say to her. He wanted to tell her no but he also knew she was right. There was no reason why she should not be able to be friends with whoever she wanted.

"Fine, but if we get caught your taking the fall." He told her.

"Deal. I will tell them I tricked you." She said to him with a smile.

He could not help but wonder if she was smiling because she had won again. Or for some other reason. He had an uneasy feeling in his gut telling him something was not right.

"So is there anything else you have planned for today?" Bellamy asked her truthfully he was scared of her answer.

The huge smile that formed on her face in response to his question made him even more nervous then he already was.

"Well now that you asked." Clarke responded.

Bellamy could do nothing but look at her and wait for her to respond. And considering that Clarke looked nervous about whatever it was she was going to say Bellamy truly felt like she was going to get him killed today.

"I talked to my parents and they said its okay." Clarke told him.

"What's okay?" Bellamy asked even though he already knew the answer.

"The date with Todd." She told him.

They both stood there in silence trying to figure out what to say next but Bellamy could not bring himself to speak. He really thought Clarke would have backed out of asking her mom.

"So I should probably talk to him at some point today and give him the good news." Clarke told Bellamy finally breaking the silence.

He looked at her for a second not wanting to let her see how angry he actually was. He quickly turned and headed for the door.

"Fine lets go do that right now." He said as he held the door open for her.

She looked back at him surprised and he was too angry to realize how shocked she actually was.

"Fine let's go." She repeated as she walked by him and out of the house.

He could feel his heart beating out of control in his chest as he followed her down the hall.
