Chapter 9

{Not edited beyond this point}
Bellamys POV
Murphy and I got out of the car and waited for the girls. I noticed my shoe was untied so I kneeled down and tied it. When I looked up I saw Clarke walking to us while linking arms with Raven. She looked so beautiful I couldn't even talk, I just stared at her in amazement. She snapped her finger. "Earth to Bellamy," she said laughing.

"Clarke you look beautiful." Her cheeks turned red. "Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself." I nervously opened the passenger side door for Clarke and then got in on the other side. Murphy and Raven sat in the back.

I could see them staring and smiling at us as we talked. They were making me liking her obvious.

After ten minutes we arrived at the school and went inside. We walked into the gym, and saw bright lights amd masks hanging from the ceiling. There were gold tables everywhere.

We all sat at a table and saw the lights dim, all the masks from the ceiling lit up. It was already time for the slow dances.

Raven and Murphy got up to dance, Clarke watched them and smiled. Then I got up "wanna dance?" I asked holding out my hand. She looked surprised "uh sure." I grabbed her hand and lead her to where everyone was dancing. I grabbed onto her waist and she put her hands on the back of my neck, we just stared into each other's eyes.

I glanced over for a moment to see Raven and Murphy staring at us, again. I motioned at them to stop, they looked away and I went back to staring into Clarke's blue eyes. I couldn't take it anymore, I was about to lean in to kiss her when she said she had to use the bathroom and ran off.

A couple of minutes later I looked around to see if Clarke was back from the bathroom yet and saw her in her blue dress getting punch, I couldn't wait any longer. I ran over to her, turned her around and kissed her.

She pushed me off and slapped me. When i opened my eyes i realized it wasn't Clarke. Whoever that girl was walked away and Raven angrily walked over to me. "Shit I messed up, didnt I?" I asked her already knowing the answer.

"Yeah you did, your so fucking stupid Bellamy. Clarke likes you and you just broke her heart" she said and pointed to Clarke running out of the auditorium, fuck I really messed up. "She likes me?" I asked her. "Yes dumbass, or well she use to anyways. You better go fix this" she said and walked back to Murphy rolling her eyes.

I ran out of the auditorium, and saw clarke sitting against a tree. "O hey bellamy, what are you doing here?" she asked. "I'm so sorry clarke, I thought that girl i kissed was you." I said while I sat down next to her. "Wait what are you talking about Bellamy? Why were you trying to kiss me?" she asked.

"Princess I've liked you for awhile now, and tonight i was finally going to kiss you and tell you how I felt when you ran to the bathroom. That girl I kissed, I thought it was you."

She blinked in shock "you like me?" she asked "Yes" I replied. "Bellamy I've liked you for a long time" She smiled and I pulled her into a kiss. "Do you wanna get out of here princess?" she bite her lip and nodded. I put my hand in hers and lead her into the car. Then we started driving.

Clarkes POV
I didn't know where we were going and not to be cheesy, but I didn't care as long as I was with Bellamy. He held my hand with his other one on the stirring wheel. I still couldn't believe he felt the same way about me.

After about fifteen minutes of driving the car stopped, Bellamy got out of the car first and opened the door for me. I hopped out of his truck and looked around, it was a beach and it was so beautiful. We walked along the water, I could feel the sand in between my toes and the cold water splashing against my ankles.

"I know this is probably a weird place to take you but its actually been my favorite place sense I was six. My dad used to take Octavia and me here all the time before he went to the army and died when I was 14." I held his hand "I'm sorry I'm sure he was a great guy" he smiled. "He was, and I know he would have loved you" "Wanna take a swim" he asked.

"What if someone sees us? You know what I don't give a fuck lets do it." "That's my girl," he said smirking. Bellamy helped unzip my dress, we ran into the water. It was freezing.

All of my makeup wiped off and I started to feel self-conscious. I think Bellamy could tell. "Clarke you look even more beautiful than before. You are gorgeous, don't ever think otherwise."

How was this the same guy that threw his lunch on me everyday, and said id never find love? He was so sweet now.

We swam until our fingers shriveled up and then laid down in the sand. "Wanna hangout tomorrow, i mean like a date" he asked.

"Yeah sure" i said trying to act calm. We got back in the car and Bellamy drove me back to Raven's house. "Thanks for the ride," I said and went to get out of the car when Bellamy kissed me. We kept kissing until Raven knocked on the car window.

"Gross, and thanks for ditching us. We had to call a uber, and he was really creepy" she said. "Shut up, and sorry I kind of forgot about you guys," Bellamy said laughing and looked at me.

She rolled her eyes "come on Clarke we got to get inside before my mom notices your not here" raven said dragging me out of the car. "Night princess," Bellamy said and drove away. I ran into Raven's room and screamed in her pillow "I think I just lived the best moment of my life" I said.

"Ooo what happened" she asked as she laid on her bed. "Well when Bellamy ran after me, we said we liked each other and kind of ran off to the beach. We're going on our first date tomorrow."

Raven started jumping up and down. "where to?" she asked. "I don't know yet and I'm so tired so move over before I throw you off the bed"

Raven feel asleep quickly But I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was my date with Bellamy tomorrow.
