Camp Arkadia (The 100)

Chapter 3

Clarke pulled out her headphones as they drove through the gate to Camp Arkadia. Trees lined the horizon and Clarke could see lots of log cabins dotted around. A large communal fire place was at the centre with logs to sit on surrounding it.

Bellamy was standing at the front of the coach, getting everyone's attention.

"Right, if everyone could get their suitcases then line up outside the office where you will be given your booklets and cabin keys," Bellamy announced.

People suddenly started rushing off the coach pouring into the car park. Another two coach's had already arrived and some people were being dropped off by car.

Clarke picked up her rucksack and joined the mellay of people outside.

Most of the suitcases had already been collected so Clarke could easily spot hers in the luggage holding area.

"This yours princess?" asked Bellamy, who she hadn't realised was there, pointing to her suitcase.

"Err .. yeah, thanks," she said taking the suitcase.

About 30 people were left lined up outside the office cabin, most people could be seen in the distance, gathered in groups or locating their cabins.

Wells walked up and down the line giving people their keys and booklets.

He looked at the top of his pile, "Clarke Griffin," he called out.

"Here," she responded catching his attention.

Wells walked over to her and gave her a plastic wallet. She walked away from the crowd around the office and took out the booklet.

"Clarke Griffen  Cabin: 23," was printed on the front.

She looked around looking for a sign post that she had seen earlier.

"Can I help you princess?" Bellamy asked walking over.

"Err.. yeah, can you tell me where cabin 23 is?" she asked.

"Sure, cabins 20 to 50 are down that path," he said pointing.

"Thanks," she replied as she reached for her suitcase.

She pulled up the handle and attempted to wheel it over the tree root ridden ground. With this method turning out to be unsuccessful she went to carry her suitcase.

But before she could lift it, Bellamy took it off her.

"Don't worry princess I've got it," he said almost jokingly and began to walk with her towards her cabin.

As they were walking Clarke caught herself staring at Bellamy. What was she doing? She'd promised herself no more relationships this year. Finn had been distracting enough and she had her exams next year.

"Something up?" he asked her.

"Oh no nothing," she quickly responded, "so what usually happens at camp?"

"Err .. well most days there is sports on, such as, tennis, volleyball and table tennis. There is an outdoor pool and the lake. Once a week there is a disco and also a bonfire. There's also lots more traditions that take place once every camp."

"Cool," Clarke responded struggling to make conversation.

"Hey Bellamy!" Murphy called from a few cabins away.

"What?" he called back.

"You need to get here before Miller takes the other top bunk," he told him, lifting his suitcase up the steps.

Murphy went inside the cabin leaving Clarke and Bellamy alone.

Bellamy turned to Clarke.

"It's fine you go, I can carry my suitcase from here," she told him.

"Okay thanks," he said already jogging off, "I'll catch you later!" he called back.
