Bellarke High School

Chapter 2

Clarke

The first half of the day seemed to go by fast, maybe it was because she was excited to meet Raven's friends. Or maybe she was nervous, she hadn't decided.

Clarke clutched her tray as she turned to face the rest of the cafeteria. She scanned for Raven, and there she was. Raven was waving her hands like a maniac trying to get her attention.

Clarke laughed a little to herself and made her way towards Raven's table.

"Yay your here!" Raven says really excitedly. 

Raven stands up and puts her arm around Clarke.

"Clarke, these are my people." Raven gestures her arm at them.

There was a brunette girl, she was actually really pretty. Then there was a lanky, somewhat pale boy who Clarke remembered from science, Jasper. Then an Asian boy who was giving her a smile.

"So that's Octavia," Raven says gesturing to the brunette girl then turns to the Asian boy, "That's Monty, the science master. And that's Jasper, just in case you don't remember him from science. Guys this is Clarke."

They all gave her a smile and a hello, then Raven and her sat down.

"So Clarke," Octavia started, "tell us about yourself."

Clarke hadn't really prepared for any questions so she ended up stuttering a lot.

"Well, um, I like art. Um, when I um ah, done with high school I'm going to school to be um doctor."

"Hey you should meet a friend of mine, Lincoln, he loves art!" Octavia exclaims. 

Jasper scoffs, "Yeah Lincoln's just a 'friend'."

"Octavia's been secretly going out with this Gona high school guy Lincoln, he's a senior." Monty explains to Clarke.

"Okay Raven when I ask not to tell anyone, that does not mean tell Jasper and Monty." Octavia glares at her.

Raven shrugs, "Oops."

"Why do you have to keep it a secret?" Clarke asks hoping not to come off as nosy.

"It's my older brother, Bellamy. He's way to overprotective. If he found out if I was dating a boy that was from one of the biggest rival schools and he was older than me, he would kill Lincoln. Then me." Octavia sighs.

"No offense but your brother can be an asshole sometimes." Monty says causally.

Octavia nods, "I know." She actually looks a little sad, and Clarke feels really bad. She wanted to ask why he was an asshole, but she didn't want to come off as nosy.

Raven changes the subject, "So Clarke do you want to come to my party?"

-

Clarke had agreed to go to Raven's party, which Raven said wasn't really a party just a few other people she knew from school coming over to her house.

Clarke had surprisingly learned a lot about everyone in the half-hour she spent with them.

Raven Reyes lived in an apartment with her cousin Nathan Miller, who they called Miller because it was easier, and she lives with her uncle. She learned Raven's dad left before she was born and Raven's mom was into drugs, her mom had CPS called on her after she had hit Raven. That's how Raven ended up with her cousin and uncle. Raven was also supposedly an amazing mechanic.

Monty Green and Jasper Jordan were the best. They were over the top hilarious and they were one of the cutest pair of best friends she'd ever met. Monty's parents were both pharmacist, and Jasper's father was a mechanic and owned an auto shop. Jasper and Raven actually both worked there. Jasper and Monty also enjoyed making a drink called moonshine, and everyone agreed it was pretty strong. 

Octavia Blake. Octavia was not as open as the others. She had an older brother Bellamy, and she had her mother Aurora. Octavia didn't say anything about a father, but she said something about how Bellamy was technically her half-brother. Although Octavia didn't share much about her family, she did have a few interest. Raven said Octavia was shopaholic, and Octavia didn't argue with that. She was also on the volleyball team, and she would be captain next year. Octavia seemed very into this Lincoln boy, but to Clarke he sounded very mysterious. 

Clarke also shared a few things about herself. Like she only lived with her slightly over-protective mother and her moms boyfriend of three years, Marcus Kane. Clarke didn't share much like Octavia. She didn't say this to the group but her father had died six years ago when Clarke was ten, and she still had the watch he gave for her 9th birthday. She wanted to get to know everyone better before she shared her information.

Sadly their time had to be up eventually and they had to get to 6th hour. Octavia and the boys gave her a quick smile and wave before heading to class, but Raven stuck around with her. 

"Do you have social studies next?" Raven asked.

"No I have English." Clarke sighed disappointingly. 

Raven look disappointed too, but she shrugged, "That's okay, I'll see you at five."

Clarke nodded, "Okay, bye Raven."

"Later Clarke." Raven waved and headed to her class.

Clarke smiled herself and turned around to head to her class.

But she kind of hit a road bump before she could make it to class.
