Alive

Chapter 15

"Clarke!"

Clarke woke up to the sound of her name being called from somewhere else in the lab. She sat up in her bed, stretching her arms above her head. It had been a while since Clarke has woken up feeling completely refreshed. I must've slept later than usual she thought, considering someone was looking for her. After stretching out most of her sleepiness she looked to the other side of the bed to find Bellamy's back facing her.

"Bell, wake up" Clarke tapped his shoulder trying to wake him up. She waited a few minutes but got no response. "Bellamy come on you need to wake up."

This time she heard him let out a groan before talking. "Stop talking Clarke."

"Bellamy we need to get up. We've slept in too late and I heard someone calling my -" Clarke was cut off by Bellamy rolling over and throwing his pillow at her.

"Bellamy Blake!" Just as Clarke was about to throw the pillow back at him Madi walked into the room.

"Clarke - oh sorry!" Madi looked down at her feet, acting as if she had walked in on their moment.

Clarke pushed the blanket off her and swung her legs off the side of the bed. "It's okay Madi, we were just sleeping. There's no reason to be embarrassed" she told her, making Madi's cheeks flush even more with embarrassment. "Now was it you calling my name earlier?"

Madi looked up but still avoided looking at the two. "Well Raven and your mom wanted to go see if there was anything salvageable from the spaceship you saw and well you're the only one who knows where it is."

Clarke knew if she didn't say anything then Madi would just keep rambling on. "Okay, okay thanks Madi. Let them know we'll be ready in a bit.

Madi just nodded her head and quickly made her way out of the room.

"I think we scarred her by just laying in bed. Imagine if we were actually doing something." Bellamy said with a laugh.

"Be nice" Clarke was laughing too. "She is actually very innocent despite her being my little warrior."

"I am always nice thank you."

"Yeah, yeah don't get me started on when we first met." Clarke walked away to the end of the bed, pulling the blanket completely off Bellamy.

Bellamy reluctantly pushed himself out of bed. "Hey! And you say I was the mean one."

Clarke rolled her eyes as she pulled a shirt on over her sports bra. "Whatever the hell you want princess" she said, mocking Bellamy.

"That was a horrible impression, and I do not stick my chest out like that when I talk."

"Sure you don't." She teasingly tapped his shoulder as she walked by him on her way out of the room. "Now let's go find something useful.

.

"Well well well, can we finally get going?" Raven teased Bellamy and Clarke as they walked into the room.

Clarke raised her arms above her head, stretching out her muscles. "I don't know, I'm still a bit tired. Maybe I'll just go back to bed" she said as she smirked at Raven, letting her know that she was just messing with her. Instead of saying anything Raven just rolled her eyes at her best friend and waited for her to lead the way out of the lab.

It took about a hour to get to the ship and because it was a nice day they decided to walk instead of taking the rover. For the entire trip Clarke and Raven led the group, talking the entire way, as everyone trailed behind them. Bellamy walked beside Monty and Harper most of the trip as they talked. He walked silently beside them though because he was too busy sneaking glances at Clarke in front of him. A loud laugh brought Bellamy's attention away from the two next to him, to the two girls in the front. Clarke had her head thrown back as she laughed at something Raven said. She was too busy laughing and not paying attention to where she was walking, causing her to trip over a branch on the ground. Clarke quickly recovered her footing and looked around to make sure no one but Raven saw. Bellamy let out a chuckle as he watched all this happen in front of him. How can she such a fluent fight but also be so clumsy he thought to himself as he let out another small chuckle under his breath. As he watched her he couldn't help but think about how far they've come since they first stepped on Earth. Clarke hated him, and he wasn't very fond of her either. She challenged everything he said or did and that absolutely drove him crazy. Looking back, he didn't know when things change. When instead of driving him crazy, he looked forward to her challenging ways. Over the last couple weeks he's come to realize he wouldn't change anything that's happened between them, even all the hate and fights they had.
