Arke High

Chapter 4

The first month of school went by quickly. It became a daily part of our group's routine to eat together during lunch. After school we would hang out with each other and every Friday we went out as a group. Bellamy though he looked absolutely miserable always came along. Today was Friday, and Octavia finally convinced all of us to go to Mt. Weather. Mt. Weather was an under 21 club/karaoke bar named after the mountain it was on. The mountain was about 20 minutes from The Arke, Wells offered to pick us all up in his car. It was big enough to fit all five of us, six if you counted Bellamy. A beep came from outside and I grabbed my small silver purse. Outside Wells was waiting in his car, Jasper and Monty already in the back seat. "You look great Clarke" Wells said as I hopped into the passenger seat. "Thanks" I said giving him a smile. I was wearing black skin tight jeans, a plain gray spaghetti strap top, with a cropped black jacket, and my black lace up ankle boots. My hair was styled and loose instead of in its usual braid. The ride to Octavia's house was short. I was the one to get out of the car and knock on the door. Instead of Octavia answering the door it was Bellamy.
"Octavia they're here!" He yelled. I heard footsteps running downstairs. When she appeared she was wearing a black mini dress with a heart neckline and black high heels."Wow Clarke you look amazing." She said smiling.
I smiled back."Thanks you too." Octavia looked at Bellamy then at me, suddenly she burst out laughing. Both Bellamy and I looked at her like she was crazy. "Something funny O?" Bellamy asked.
"You guys are matching and I don't think it was on purpose." We looked at Octavia with questioning glances. Then I looked at what Bellamy was wearing. He was wearing black skinny jeans, just like me except his weren't as tight, black combat boots, and a gray
t-shirt with a thin black jacket. He was basically wearing the guy version of my clothes. I also noticed a silver chain connected from his front belt loop to his back belt loop. I groaned and Octavia giggled."Lets go." The three of us walked towards the car. Octavia sat in the middle of Wells and I, and Bellamy sat in the back. Jasper was clearly uncomfortable sitting next to Bellamy Blake the "King of the School". We arrived at the club in 20 minutes. Since it was an under 21 club they didn't serve any alcohol which disappointed Octavia. This earned her a scowl from Bellamy. After a half hour of dancing with Octavia, I sat down on a stool by the bar.
"Hey your Clarke right?" I turned to see a boy about my age with shoulder length brown hair. I nodded and he extended his hand."Im Finn." I shook his hand.
"So Finn what are you doing here tonight?" I asked.
He shrugged." Nothing much except flirting." I laughed. For the next hour we talked,and laughed. I was about to ask him which high school he attended when he started to lean in to kiss me."What are you doing?" I asked. He was centimeters away from my face.
"I'll stop if you tell me."He said. I didn't, he was seconds away from kissing me when someone said,"Back off Spacewalker."
Still looking at me Finn said,"Go away Bellamy. Besides I'm sure Clarke doesn't want me to go away. Right Clarke?" I grinned at him. Bellamy groaned and I could practically here him roll his eyes. Finn leaned in once more, but was pulled of by Bellamy.
"Hey!" He yelled though no one could hear him because the music was up so loudly.
" I warned you to back off!" Bellamy yelled. Finn looked like he was about to punch Bellamy, but I stopped him. "Don't Finn. Bellamy why do you care?" He had an annoyed expression on his face."I don't, but my sister does. If she finds out I let you kiss someone with a girlfriend, without you knowing it I would never hear the end of it."
Confused I looked at Finn."Is that true?" He looked sheepish." Clarke I can explain."
"Explain what? That you have a girlfriend , and tried to kiss me! You know what Finn, screw off, and never talk to me again!" He retreated into the crowd. I turned to Bellamy."Thanks" I muttered.
"No problem, Princess." I scowled at the nickname, causing him to smirk."What you don't like being called Princess?"
"No." I stated.
"Well then I guess I should keep calling you that then."
I rolled my eyes."Whatever"
He grinned."How 'bout we go dance?"
"We?" I asked.
He nodded."Yeah we."
I shook my head,"No we should go it's getting late, plus I. Not a fan of dancing."
"Come on have a little fun Princess." He said pulling me to the dance floor. I caved. Surprisingly he was a good dancer. Soon enough our whole group was dancing, and laughing together in the center of the dance floor. Even Bellamy seemed to be having fun. After a good hour of dancing the DJ told everyone to grab a partner because he was going to play a slow song. I stepped off the dance floor. Besides not knowing how to dance, I didn't have a partner. Jasper paired with Octavia and the others were pulled by random girls. Wells looked reluctant to dance with the brunet that asked him to, but went after I to,d him to go. Monty was with a cute red head, and it was adorable to see how shy he was. The song began to play, and for a second I stood their and watched the others dance. Then I saw Bellamy heading towards me, abandoning his partner."Hey Princess, want to dance?" He asked bowing and offering his hand to me.
"What about your partner?"
He looked over his shoulder then back at me. "She'll be fine, besides she didn't even want to dance."
I smiled and took his hand , letting him guide me towards the dance floor. Bellamy put one hand on my waist and had one hand holding mine. My other hand was on my shoulder as he pulled me close. He taught me a few simple steps and we swayed to the rhythm, my head resting on his chest. It was surprisingly nice, and I didn't mind being so close to him. I hadn't slow danced with anyone since I was a little girl and danced with my dad. At the end of the song Bellamy decided it was time to go, and we all piled into Wells' car. After Wells had dropped of everyone, and I was about to get out of his car he stopped me. "Wait Clarke, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure what is it?"
He looked down then back at me and nervously asked,"Will you go out with me on Saturday, like on a date?" Did Wells, my best guy friend, just ask me out? I wasn't sure if I liked Wells like that, but no part of me wanted to break his heart."Of corse I will." I smiled, and he smiled back. Before I knew what was happening Wells pulled me close and kissed me. It only lasted a couple of seconds, and yet it didn't feel right. "I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7:30." I nodded and walked inside my home. It wasn't until idea he'd my room I realized what just happened. Wells had asked me out and though I wasn't sure about my feelings for him, I had said yes. Technically leading him on. Now if it didn't work out I had the possibility of losing my best friend. I buried my face in my hands and groaned. What on Earth had I done?
