Clarke's POV

   We are on the ground.

WE ARE ON THE GROUND! I never thought my life would go from my father getting floated, and it being my 'bestfriends' fault, to being on the ground. The biggest thing was that we, the 100, were going to be the first on the ground in 97 years. If we even could get on the ground.

The problem was that the ground could be toxic, I guess we will have to find out. 

We all unbuckle our seatbelts, and go to the bottom floor of the dropship. I see a tall boy with slicked back, black hair, and he is about to open the dropship door. 

"Wait!" I yell and jump off the last few steps of the ladder. I walk towards him, but someone gets there before me. That is Octavia Blake, my bestfriend back on the ark. After she got arrested, I didn't know what to do with myself. I usually just sat in my room drawing. I barely ever came out.

"Octavia." I say, but it barely comes out as a whisper. She turns around, and looks at me.

"Oh my god, Clarke." She says while walking towards me, and pulling me in for a hug. I look up at the tall boy, still hugging Octavia, and I recognize as Bellamy, her older brother. I would always see him walking in and out of their room, whenever I was with Octavia. I never got to know him.

Octavia is the first to pull out of the hug. I hear whispers going around talking about Octavia. I know she hears them too.

"That's the girl they hid under the floors." Someone says. Octavia Is about to go after them, but Bellamy holds her back. Bellamy can't hold two girls back though.

I look through the crowd to see who said it, and I go after him. When I reach him, I punch him square in the nose. He falls from the impact, and by now, everybody has backed off. I shake my hand out from the pain of punching someone. 

"If you ever talk about her that way again, it won't be only a punch." I say and walk back towards O. She wears a shocked expression on her face, and Bellamy does too. 

"Wow Clarke, t-thank you." O says.

"It was nothing." I say with a blank expression, looking at my fist, which is already bruising.

"Well, that was fun, but how about we get out of this nasty, small dropship." Bellamy says,and is about to pull the lever.

"Wait, what if the air is toxic?" I say.

"Then we're dead anyways."He says back. " O, you can be the first on the ground in 100 years." I can see her eyes light up and the thought of that. Bellamy pulls the lever, and I have to adjust to the light pouring in from the sun. I can already smell the difference of the air, from the ark to the ground. O reaches her hand out and grabs mine. She smiles, and pulls me to the ramp that leads to the ground.

We jump out at the same time, and I feel paralyzed. I stay where I am, but O keeps walking. She takes a deep breath and screams, "WERE BACK BITCHES!" 

And we all run out into the wild, screaming and cheering.

We are free.
