Arke High

Chapter 3

The day was going by quickly, and everything was going great except for one little thing. Bellamy up to this point had all the same classes as me. After Advanced Art I had English 12, then Medical Science 3. Octavia had only been in my first period since both those classes were only for Seniors, and she was a Junior. Wells had also only been in my first period. I was unhappily surprised that Bellamy of all people was in Medical Science, I was even more displeased when the teacher sat me right next to him. Right now it was lunch time and Octavia had ditched her brother to come sit with Wells and I. Throughout the day I had noticed many people glancing our way, with either curiosity or hostility. I guessed it was because they saw a new girl walking with the mayor's son, who they either hated or felt curios about. Wells did not have many friends since they thought of him as some privileged rich kid, which was the same reason I didn't have many friends. Luckily Octavia was the same girl she was when I left, and we quickly regained are friendship. At some point during lunch Bellamy came over and sat with us, though he kept quiet. He was clearly only here because of his sister. As Wells was telling me about the homecoming dance, I noticed two boys sitting alone by a tree. We were sitting outside in the courtyard, on a circle table which was shaded by a tree. "Is that them?" I asked Wells. Both Octavia and Wells followed my gaze as Bellamy looked as uninterested as possible.
"Yeah why?" Wells answered. Without a word I stood and practically sprinted towards them.
"Monty!Jasper!" I yelled. The looked up as I reached them, immediately recognizing me."Clarke!" They yelled in unison, already jumping from were they were sitting to greet me. They pulled me into a hug, with goofy grins splattered on their faces. Monty and Jasper were some of my closest friends, who always made me smile no matter what, and I had missed them so much.
"Clarke, what are you doing here?" Jasper asked, just as Monty asked, "Are you staying?"
I nodded, my smile just like theirs growing wider."Hey, you guys want to sit with us?"
"Us?" Monty and Jasper asked at the same time.
"Yeah, I'm sitting with Wells and Octavia, oh and her annoying brother tagged along."
Jasper's eyes grew wide,"Your sitting with Bellamy Blake?"
Confusion crossed my face,"Yeah, why?"
Still smiling Monty said,"Well he sort of runs this school."
Jasper side glanced Monty."Sort of? He has girls going crazy for him, and guys worshipping the ground he walks on. He can make people do whatever he wants just by telling them once, not to mention that he usually never gets in trouble for all his crazy stunts because he happens to be the school's quarter back, and soccer captain. Plus he always gets the lead in school plays."
I laughed out loud."Really? Ok I seriously don't believe that, but whatever. Let's go sit." They followed me to where we were sitting. At first everyone was quiet, but eventually we were all laughing out loud over something Jasper said something about Monty being like an elephant. Well all of us except Bellamy. That guy really did not have a sense of humor. Or a sense of anything for that matter. By the time lunch was over we were all comfortable with each other, just like old times.
The weirdest, yet funniest part of lunch was when Octavia stood up on the table and with both arms raised yelled,"Our group is Back Bitches!"After lunch I had Choir class, Survival Skills, and Drama. I had already finished most of my required classes already, and had a lot of college credits so I had a lot of electives. Octavia was in all my after lunch classes and sadly so was her brother. I was happy to find out that both Monty and Jasper had Survival Skills and Drama with me. Overall the day had been amazing, and I was glad to be back. It was almost as if I never left.
