Ark Academy

Hurts so Good

CLARKE'S POV
I get into school to find Octavia scrunched up at some locker making out with some guy. She spots me.

"Oh, Lincoln, sorry I gotta go..." she laughs and walks towards me and sighs, "I think I'm in love." I laugh. It's not too often when you'll see Octavia happy with some guy. Obviously Bellamy's not anywhere around. "So Lincoln's throwing this party tonight at his house. I mean, it's more like a mansion, not like that matters or anything, but you should come with me! You know, we will buy some really tight black dresses after school and head to the party? Let's do it!" She demands.

"No, sorry I'm not interested. I have to study." I answer.

"Are you serious? People actually do that?" She replies. I roll my eyes.

"Yes, Octavia, studying is a real thing." I laugh.

"You're going to regret it..," she says trailing off into some classroom.

At about 9pm, I hear rocks being thrown at my window and check to see who it is. Octavia.

"Aren't you supposed to be heading to the party?" I ask. What is this girl up to?

"I mean, yeah, but the thing is I don't have a ride...Bellamy refused to take me there. He doesn't want me to go at all." Shocker. "So I was wondering if you could take me? And maybe you could put on this insanely hot dress I'm holding in my hands right now..." she says. I look at my notes, then at my clock, then at my notes again, then at O.

"Why the hell not..." Octavia squeals and waits for me to jump out of my window without my aunt noticing.

"You are going to love me. Lincolns parties are the best" Octavia says.

"I'm counting on it." I add and jump into her car.

We get there and the house is incredible. I look around to find Finn staring at me. Creep. I head for the drinks to get the thought off my mind. I never drink, I just never enjoyed it and I get drunk way too easily. It's kind of embarrassing.

After a couple of shots, O and I are dancing in Lincoln's living room when a hand tugs her away. I expected it to Bellamy, but it was Lincoln taking her to his room. Here I am, dancing on my own...

I'm really drunk when I feel a hand on my waist as it's about to pick me up. I laugh.

Wait. Who is it? I look down to find Murphy. oh, shit.

"P-put me down! What're you doing?" I slur my words. He doesn't put me down and I start to tense up. He pulls me out of the house and starts to drag me towards the pool.

"Murphy, stop, I don't like the water." He stops, smirks and continues. "MURPHY" I scream. How is everyone so oblivious to what's going on? Maybe they're all just drunk.

He places me on the diving board, "if you can walk in one straight line and back, then I won't push you in" I sigh. "Why?"

"Just do it." He wants to be entertained by some drunk girl. I hate him. I start to walk and as I take more steps, the dizzier I feel. I'm now at the tip of the diving board when I think that jumping into the pool would be a better idea, but I can't...I just can't. I make my way back slowly as I realize there's a group of people watching, Finn amongst them.

I finally get back and sigh in relief as Murphy shoves me right into the pool.

I don't say a word when I surfaced the water. I just ran out of the pool wet and panting. I run back into Lincoln's living room as someone grabs my wrist. I meet his brown eyes.

"Princess, are you okay?" He checks me out, "you're soaked".

"I'm fine." I slur as I attempt to break away from his wrist which doesn't work. "Bellamy, let go." I demand.

"Are you drunk?!" He raises his eyebrow.

"Everyone else is." I say, "so yeah, I'm a little drunk.." I say forcing his hand off of my wrist. I begin to walk away when I slip on my puddle of water and fall into the crowd of people. Bellamy picks me up off of the floor and walks me to a bench outside.

"Here you go, princess" he hands me a water. I chuck it across the lawn, "well that wasn't very nice" he says laughing, "you must be the angry drunk."

"I'm not angry..." I hesitate not even knowing what I'm saying "I-I don't like water. I dont want to be here." I complain.

"Where's Octavia?!" He realizes she's not with me.

"With Lincoln." I don't hesitate.

"What?!"

"Let her have her fun for one night." I sigh.

He picks me up and drops me in his car. "One night" he said. Who knew that drunk me would get to him? "What's your address?" He asks.

"You make a lot of lefts" I say.

"We're gonna be in the car for a while, aren't we?" He smirked. He's cute when he smirks. Most of the time he's got some intimidating face thing going on.

"No, because we're going home." I reply. He thinks for a minute.

"Okay, I'll tell you what." He thinks for another second, "I'll let you stay at my place tonight. Since I don't expect Octavia to come back anytime tonight, you can take her bed, okay?" He plans.

"What about your bed?" I ask.

"What about my bed?" He says confusedly.

"Why can't I sleep in your bed?" God, do you even hear what you're saying, Clarke?

"Well, first of all your soaking. You're also my sister's best friend. And I don't take advantage of girls." He says.

"But I just want to sleep in your bed." I sigh. He rolls his eyes and looks back at me. Staring me down for a second. He steps on the gas and after some time we get to his house.

He carries me to his room where he pulls out a shirt and sweatpants. "Put these on." I start to undress when he stops me, "Not here! The bathroom is right there, princess." He points to the right and laughs.

I get dressed and head into his room. "You can sleep here, I'll sleep on the couch." He says.
