[9] That Nickname Stealing Jackass

EDITED

BELLAMY'S POV

As we're re running down the hallway, ours hands intertwined, we pass students giving us weird looks. I ignore them as we reach the classroom, slowing down. The bell rings right as we walk in the door and our hands drop back to our sides as I give Clarke an encouraging look as I make my way to my seat in the back of the class.

After I sit down, I look back to the front of the class to see her handing her schedule to Mr. Kane to look at, then he points to the empty seat in front of me. I see her send a small smile to Mr. Kane and start heading towards her new seat. My joy is soon interrupted by one of the most annoying voices ever...

"She's hot." Finn Collins, biggest jackass in the whole damn school. I glance to my left and see him smirking at me. The smirk is my thing, that asshole.

"Don't even think about it." I growl out in a low voice. If looks could kill, he'd be dead.

"We'll see about that." He challenges back, grinning stupidly. Before I can respond, Clarke sits down and turns around to look at me.

"Hey Bell." She says smiling at me, I can't help but smile back. My smile fades though as soon as I hear Finn's annoying voice.

"Hey, how're you doing?" Finn asked Clarke, bringing her attention off of me and onto him. Where the hell was he going with this?

"Um, I'm doing fine. How're you?"

"I think you misunderstood me. I asked how you were, not how you looked." Oh my god, so fucking cheesy. I rolled my eyes at the remark while Clarke just giggled in response. "So what's your name gorgeous? I haven't seen you around before." He questioned her.

"I'm Clarke, Clarke Griffin. Today is my first day." She replies, flashing a small smile to Finn.

"Clarke, that's a really beautiful name for a really beautiful Princess." Oh hell to the no.

"Get your own nickname, jackass." I raise my voice at him, drawing their attention back to me. He looked a little shocked but then his facial features quickly returned themselves to their normal cocky look. Oh, how I hated that guy.

"Bell, calm down." She said to me and turned back to Finn. "And i never caught your name."

"Finn, Finn Collins. But most people call me Spacewalker."

"Or jackass in my book." I whisper under my breath so that they can't hear me. He extends his hand and she takes it, shaking his. But i notice their hands lingering on each other's, holding on a little longer than needed.

"Well nice to meet you, Spacewalker." She shows her beautiful smile.

"You too, Princess." He responds looking into her eyes, smiling, still holding her hand. OK, now I am more pissed than earlier. But before I get the chance to do anything stupid, Mr. Kane stands up form his desk and clears his throat. Finn and Clarke drop their hands and turn their gazes to the front of the classroom where Mr. Kane stands, arms crossed.

"If you're done with all the talking back there, I want to introduce you to a new student today, Clarke Griffin. Clarke, can you please tell us something about yourself." Mr. Kane says, forcing a smile.

"Um, sure." Clarke says standing up nervously. She looks so cute when she's nervous, what is wrong with me today. "I'm Clarke, I'm 17, I've moved around a lot and i like the color blue. Uh yeah, I guess that's it." She says then sits down awkwardly; she's also so cute when she's awkward.

"Nice job, Clarke. Now onto class business." Kane says grabbing a small stack of papers off of his desk. "Now, I am going to assign the groups for your presentations that we talked about last week. Clarke, when you get your group, they will explain everything." She only nodded so he continued talking. "Speaking of that, Clarke, you are going to be in a group with Bellamy," YES! "and Finn." NO!

Kane continues to name off the groups but I am only focused on the fact that for the next few weeks, I have to deal with Spacewalker. I am pulled out of my thoughts by Kane's voice. "Now we are gonna take today to go through the rubric for this presentation. You will have 2 weeks to complete this presentation, and you will be presenting the Friday before winter break." He pulls out his own copy of the rubric and goes over every requirement and guideline while one zone out once more. But this time i am brought back to reality by Clarke lightly nudging my arm.

"What did i miss?" I ask the Princess and she rolls her eyes playfully at my question.

"Mr. Kane just went over the rubric for the project and when he was down, said we had a few minutes to brainstorm."

"So here we are." Spacewalker chimes in. Can he just stop talking for like, two seconds. So shoot him a slight glare so the Princess chimes in, i'm guessing trying to break the tension.

"So boys... When do we start?"
