Clarity

Chapter 34

For the first time in days Clarke was not happy that classes where out for the day. That meant that she would have to spend the rest of the day alone with Bellamy. She really was not in the mood to even be in the same room as him.

Clarke would never tell him but what he had said hurt her. The fact that Bellamy would not care if she dated one of his friends just felt wrong to her. She felt like he should care. She would care if it was the other way around. Good thing she did not have to worry about that all her friends are guys. She doubted that Bellamy would want to date Wells, Jasper, or Monty.

"Let's go." She told him as she walked out of class.

He did not answer her but she knew that he was following close behind. She walked as fast as she could trying to keep a good distance in between the two of them.

"What's the rush Princess?" Bellamy asked her when he finally caught up to her.

For the first time in a long time Bellamy's nick name for her made her angry.

"I am not a Princess, and some of us actually have some things to do today." She snapped at him.

"Wow there, calm down. I was just asking a question." He said to her.

"I'm sorry but are personals supposed to be asking questions? Or are you just supposed to do what you're told?" She asked him in a stern voice.

Bellamy was surprised by what she had just said to him. He knew that's how normal personal guard relationships worked but there relationship had never been normal. Clarke had always treated him more like a friend then an employer. He never thought she would put him in his place like this. He had only ever seen the nice, soft, caring, but strong side of her. He was not shore if he liked this side. She seemed mean, vindictive, and maybe even a little cruel.

He thought back to the stories he had herd about her and her previous personals and how she had chased them all away. He did not believe any of that until this moment. It had become obvious to Bellamy in two sentences that Clarke could make any one she did not like lives very difficult.

Bellamy just took a step back from her.

"Sorry mam. You're absolutely right." He told her.

Clarke did not bother to respond she just turned and started to walk down the halls. They two of them quickly made it back to Clarkes place. Once inside Bellamy did his normal house check while Clarke went rite for the kitchen.

When Bellamy came back into the kitchen area he saw Clarke frantically working in the kitchen. There was a bunch of ingredients spread out all over the counter. Bellamy could not help but wonder how she had got all that stuff out so fast. He was about to ask what she was making. It was way more food than the two of them could eat. Than he remembered her words in the hall and went to stand over in the corner near the door.

He stood there in silence completely uncomfortable around Clarke for the first time.

Clarke went rite to work the second she walked through the door. Anything to get her mind off of the fact that Bellamy was in the room with her. She had thing she needed to do today and she could not let whatever was going on get in the way with that. She was going to make tofu lasagna so big it would last the week. It was not long before she had the pan in the oven and had nothing left to do with her time but to wait.

Clarke stood in the kitchen for a few minutes tapping her fingers on the counter before she gave up and walked over to the living room. She threw herself down on the couch and started to draw. She did not know what she was drawing she just loved the feeling that she got when she touched her pencil to paper.

She was completely lost in in her thoughts until the buzzing of the oven rang. When it did she looked down to what she was drawing. It was a horse. She had seen one in a book when she was a kid and was obsessed with them ever sense. She herd that when people lived on earth they had pets. She always knew that if she was on the ground she would want a horse. It made her sad to think that most likely they were all dead.

She placed her sketch pad down and made her way over to the kitchen. She was surprised to see that Bellamy was still standing near the door where she had left him.

Clarke turned her attention back to the stove turning it off and then pulling the lasagna out.

"Perfect." Clarke said with a smile on her face.

She started cutting it up not waiting for it to cool down. She did not have the luxury of time. She was not shore when her parents would be home. She took the peace's she cut and placed them into two separate containers. One big one with almost all of it, and a smaller one with just one peace in it.

She shoved the older one in her bag and then left the kitchen as she headed for her room. As quickly as she could Clarke climbed under her bed and open her hiding spot in the floor. She pulled out all she needed and walked back out throwing them in her bag along with the food.

It was obvious to Bellamy what was going on now. Clarke was planning on going on a delivery. Bellamy got tense. Even though he and Clarke were not getting along at the moment he still worried about her getting caught. Actually he worried about the both of them getting caught.

"This one's for your mom." Clarke said to Bellamy as she shoved the small container into his arms.

"Thank you." Bellamy responded as he put it in his own bag.

Once he was they were both ready to leave Clarke headed for the door.

"Let's go." She told him.

He listened and followed after her wondering where it was she was leading him to.
