Chapter Seven

            Bellamy walked down the hall with Todd. The two of them walked in silence. He could not help but think about the girl. The way she moved, her voice, the way she said his name, and most importantly the way she made him feel. He tried to pull her out of his thoughts but he could not. The only thing he could think of was the fact that she wanted him to come back. He knew that was not possible. Even if he got back in if they caught him he would get floated.

            “Did you even hear anything I just said?” Todd asked him.

            “What?” Bellamy asked answering the question.

            “You still thinking about that girl?” Todd asked.

            “No.” Bellamy answered not wanting to admit that he was.

            “Liar.” Todd said.

            “What do you know?” Bellamy snapped back at him.

            “I know that you have it bad and you don’t even know the girls name.” Todd answered.

            “Shut up.” Bellamy said to him as they walked back into the cadet locker room.

            They quickly changed into their normal closes. Bellamy was now wearing a white tea shirt and blue pants. Normally he would be in a rush to get home to Octavia but at the moment the only thing he could think about was finding out this girls name. He could not understand why she did not tell him. It was obvious she was into him but had made it impossible for him to find her.

            “If you want I can ask Ken to keep an eye out for your mystery girl. Maybe find out who she is.” Todd told him.

            Ken was Todd’s friend and was on the next shift. Bellamy looked past Todd and to Ken who was getting dressed. He thought about it for a moment and then decided against it. He did not want that creep anywhere near his girl.

            His girl. He could not believe that he just thought that. She was far from his girl. He did not have girls. Not in that way.

            “No its fine.” Bellamy told Todd.

            “I just need some sleep.” He said.

            “Are you trying to convince me or yourself?” Todd asked him.

            “Goodnight Todd.” Bellamy said as he walked out of the locker room.

            He was walking down the halls trying to not think about anything. He was almost to his place when his foot hit something. He looked down to see what he had kicked and was looking at a plane black mask. It was one from the party someone must have dropped it there. He stood there for a moment staring at it. He was not shore why. It was not until he picked it up and put it on that he realized what he was doing. He quickly turned around and walked back the way he had come. He decided without even realizing it that he was going to sneak into the party and find that girl.

            Once he made it back to the hall her waited around the corner out of site from Ken and the rest of the cadets. He knew that if he walked in alone he would draw attention to himself and someone was bond to notice him even with the mask on. He had to sneak in with a group. No one would question him if they thought he was there with friends. The only problem was waiting for the rite group. He waited as a group of three guys walked through knowing that if he jumped in with them one of them would probably become curious as to who they knew guy was. So he stayed back.
