The Librarian (Bellarke Edition)

Chapter 13

Clarke rushed to finish her tasks. It was finally Tuesday and she was ready for this game.

"Charlotte, I'm going to head out early" Clarke said locking her office.

"Oh you rebel you, twenty five minutes early, what will I do by myself for all that time" She joked.

"See you at the game?" Clarke asked.

"Of course. See you in a bit" she replied as Clarke slipped out the door.

She stopped at the coffee shop ordering a grass root protein shake and heading out the door in a hurry slamming into a body on the sidewalk.

"I'm so sorry" She apoligized looking up to meet the eyes of another women.

"You should be" she snapped moving along. Clarke rolled her eyes and headed for the apartment. She choked her protein shake down on the way up the stairs, if it didn't give her an energy boost she wouldn't even go near it, it tasted disgusting on every level.

She opened her apartment. Dressed quickly, grabbed water, and locked up just as Octavia's door opened and they all filed out. She fell into step with Bellamy, as they hit the sidewalk.

"Clarke, the team thinks we should save you till the second half, they are going to go after you with force, I'll rotate with you and Miller." As soon as his statement left his mouth she stopped suddenly, the guys behind them quickly moving around her.

" The team, or you?" Clarke asked quietly.

"The team, my concern is getting you getting hurt, the team's concern is them trying to take you out for the season, leaving us high and dry." She nodded and started walking again refusing to look at him.

"Clarke, are you mad at me?" He asked as they turned into the park.

" No Bellamy, just frustrated, I understand it though." She said assessing the other team.

" You know, you are our star player" he said trying to smooth it over.

" That's not possible, I'm nothing without you and the team, just another person kicking a ball around. " she smiled.

" I suppose we do need each other to succeed, I promise you will get put out there, just be ready, they play dirty" he said running his hand over her lower back as he walked past her. She looked out across the field, seeing they had a woman score keeper, the same happy woman she crashed into at the coffee shop. 'No wonder she was so nice' Clarke thought sarcastically.

"That's Lexa" Charlotte said coming up from behind the bench. Clarke glanced across the field again at her, she was watching Bellamy kick the ball around with Miller.

"Correction that's Lexa admiring Bellamy" another voice came over Charlotte's shoulder. Octavia was standing there smirking as Clarke tensed .

"Does she play?" Clarke asked with a neutral tone.

"Usually the second half" Charlotte answered.

"Good" she responded walking over to join the team in stretching.

"Well this should be interesting "Octavia said raising her eyebrows at Charlotte, as they made their way to the stands.

The first half of the game the guys played their hearts out, they were trailing the Vikings by three points. It was a close matched game on skill level. They all stood in a circle during half time, looking to Bellamy for guidance.

"Everyone is doing great, keep playing hard, Clarke, I'm out, you are in, Miller, Dax, watch her, they will be trying to take her out." Both guys nodded acknowledging they heard him.
