Take a chance

Chapter 4

-Bellamy-

As I enter the room I imediatly notice that it's more crowded than I thought it would be. I guess the Ark has a lot more jvenile prisoners than it seems.

My eyes start to flit around the area, trying to find Octavia. I can't seem to find her in this gigantic mass of people.

Finally, after what feels like hours, I'm able to spot her on the other end of the room next to a blonde girl, that looks vaguely familiar.

I start to walk to them, when suddenly Octavia turns around, sees me and gives me a huge smile. She starts to run in my direction and I hold out my arms to hug her.

When she's finally in my arms I'm sure I'm grinning like a fool. I realise a lot of people has started to stare at our exchange, but I pretend not to notice.

'Hey big brother, I missed you' by now the whole room is looking at us, and the whispers are starting to grow louder.

'Look, they are the Blake siblings!'

'She hid under the floorboards for sixteen years, can you imagine that?'

'Yes, they are the only brother and sister in the whole Ark!'

By now Octavia was starting to get really angry and I could sense that she was about to punch someone in the face.

I held her back and said to her 'I missed you so much, O'

She calmed down and gave me that smile of hers that I love so dearly.

Suddenly I remember that she was with a blonde earlier and I spot the girl again easily. 'Why don't you introduce me to your new friend, O?' I said.

'Oh, I forgot, sorry. Bellamy this is Clarke Griffin, my cellmate, if you can even say that' She said gesturing to the girl, that I now notice that has the beautiful features and the deep blue eyes that I would recognise anywhere.

'Hum, I see that you made a friend within the privileged Octavia, never seen that one coming.'

I knew that I had seen this girl before. Now it makes sense, she is Abby Griffin's daughter, the head doctor of the Ark. She had been doing the basic training to become a doctor while I was starting my job as a guard, doing my rounds in the hospital.

'Bellamy Blake, stop being like this, you are being mean-'

'Octavia, no need for this, I'm used to being treated this way, it's alright,' Clarke interrupted, smiling weakly, although I could see that she was holding back tears. I guess I'm not like she was expecting me to be.

I started to walk away, expecting my sister to follow, but when I'm halfway to the other end of the room I realise that she's still with Clarke.

I make my way to them yet again, 'O, come with me'

'No Bell, I'm not leaving Clarke until you apologise to her for being such a disrespectful asshole!' she all but screamed.

I was surprised at my sister's outburst, but since I never apologise to anyone I turned around and said 'I'll only apologise to a privileged in your dreams little sister.'

I ended up spending the rest of the of the time we were allowed to be with our fellow prisoners sitting in a corner by my own, since O wasn't talking, or even looking at me, after what I said to Clarke.

I guess I'll wait for the next Saturday, I know O won't be mad at me by then.
