Chapter 23:
Dreaming Flashbacks

CLARKE POV:

I'm turning around and changing positions, everything just to make myself comfortable while trying to fall asleep in Bellamy's makeshift bed. Even though this is not my first time sleeping here, it certainly feels like one. I laid my head on his pillow and closed my eyes shut. I covered my body in his warm fur and slowly drifted off to sleep, having Bellamy the last thing on my mind.

Flashback

For as long as I can remember, I haven't been allowed on going to any kind of parties that were held across the Ark. Most of them were organized by people who were not members of a Phoenix class. Phoenix class is what people now a days called
''Privileged class'' which was an awful term I had to get used to from the early ages of my life. The thing about privileged kids as Wells and I was that our parents were one of the most respectful or so to say, known people on the whole 12 sectors of the Ark. Class mixing was not illegal but it was definitively fond upon, especially when talking about falling in love.

This was known across the Ark - Phoenix kids were to be married with other Phoenixes while the lower class was to be married with their own people. There were some exceptions, but roughly 2 pairs of Phoenix/lower class couples were to end up together in every 50 years.

I was never allowed on going to the parties because my parents feared I'd fall in love or make friends with kids among the lower class. My parents are highly respected people, my mother is the best surgeon and a doctor on the Ark and my father is an engineer. My best friends' father is the chancellor and the most important person among us all.

I was pretty much banned by my parents from going to this years special themed party but apparently after 16 years of nagging them to go, my dad eased on his and moms strict rule and let me go. He even convinced my mom to let me as well, of course there was one condition to this.

I'd have to wear a mask and no one shall know my name or who I am.

The day passed quickly and soon the special evening came and I got dressed. I went with a plain look so I wouldn't stand out, I had my ripped light jeans and a grey crop top, I put on the mask my mom had made for me and said my goodbyes. The mask was so unique and beautiful, it had gold detailing on the sides and was filled with an odd but astonishing gold-ish and creamy color. My feet carried me towards the loud screams of joyful kids who attended the party. The party was masquerade themed, all of the kids wore the beautifully shaped masks which covered the better half of their faces so they'd be unrecognizable. By my each step, the music just got louder and louder. At the time I was in front of the entrance, I wasn't able to hear my own thoughts over the huge noise. A large group of guys made their way to the party, each guy had a fling beside him except one and that same one was best looking out of them all - at least from what I could see.

He was muscular and well built, he wore a plain black shirt which fit him perfectly across his large and intimidating chest. His hair was slick back and he was pretty taller than all the other guys around him. He was surely taller than 6' from what I could tell. He moved across the large space of the Ark's party room and went way back which made him disappear from my line of sight.

I shook the thought of him soon enough and made my way to the dance floor. I noticed many girls were dancing in groups and one of them motioned her hand out for me to come. I pointed at myself in question and she nodded. She was stunning, she had long dark hair and was definitely taller than me. She wore dark ripped jeans and a similar tank top to mine. I walked towards her and the other girls from her group and started dancing to the song which was popular on the Earth around 50 to 100 years back. I believe the song's name was 'High school' and was sang by the rap female artist Nicki Minaj. We all synchronized our bodies with the song, as our hips moved I could feel the stares piercing through my back from the guys beside the dance floor. This was the one time where I got to be the whole different person and even break some of my own personal rules.

Some of the guys from the back came towards us and danced along, each guy made his way around a girl he wished to have for the evening and a tall guy made his -  towards me. I didn't recognize him but I decided to just play along. He put his hands on my hips and harshly brought me closer to me. His face was covered with a black plain mask, his hair was a light brown color and his eyes were dark as the night. He yanked my hand out of the way and threw himself on me, bringing his lips to mine against my will. I was soon forced against the wall and his hands were all over my body. I tried moving away from him but he refused to let me go. Panic arose in me and my breathing quickened, I pushed him away from me but by the look in his eyes, he wasn't nearly as done as I was.

''What do you think you're doing?'' His harsh voice questioned my last action.

''Get away from me.'' I demanded angrily.

My demands made him chuckle,
''No way.'' Was the last thing he said before smirking and approaching me.

He walked towards me while my feet carried me backwards with my body still facing the guy. I hit the wall and felt helpless,he brought his hands on to my shoulders and traced them down my body. His lips went down my neck and I couldn't help but scream which just resulted in him doing it more harshly, no one seemed to hear my call for help out of the loud music and noise of joyful teenagers. I closed my eyes and hoped for it to pass when all of the sudden I felt his weight was lifted off of me.

''She said to get away from her, Dax.'' A deep and intimidating voice defended me.

''You want her? Nah bro, she's mine for the night.'' The guy that previously made his way on me exclaimed as I frowned my eyebrows in fear. I guess his name is Dax, right?

''You know what you're gonna do?'' The guy defending me asked.

''What?'' Dax answered with a raised eyebrow.

''You are going to let his girl go and leave this party or I'll make you leave.'' The guy said, making Dax seem scared. He made his way back and exited the party with a couple of his friends. I turned towards the guy who just saved my ass and recognized him as the guy without a fling and intimidating looks.

''You okay?'' He asked softly.

''Thanks to you.'' I smiled at him and he smirked.

''Thank you. Whoever you are.'' I told him.

''Any time.'' He told before turning his back at me.

I reached out my hand to his and grabbed it before he disappeared on me. He turned his hand at me in surprise, I let his hand go and brought my head low in embarrassment. There was something about this guy that made me want him. I told myself I was a completely different person tonight, I'm not the Ark's privileged kid, I'm just yet another one of the teenagers among many. That brought a smirk on my face before I spoke up.

''Come dance with me.'' I brought my eyes to meet his.

''I don't dance.'' He said calmly but surprised.

''Everybody dance, come on!'' I told him and smirked while bringing his look up to meet my gaze.

''Fine.'' He smirked and bit his lip.

He was different than this Dax guy, I could already tell. The way his body moved while we made our way back to the dance floor, the way he defended me against that douche, the way he looks and acts.

It just makes me want him even more.

To be continued.
