Arke High

Ch. 16- First date part 1

Clarke P.O.V
I was really excited, at the same time I was nervous. What if is said or did something weird? What if after the date he decided he wanted to be just friends? I shook those thoughts out of my head as I went downstairs to open the door. Bellamy had told me to dress casual, so I was wearing ripped skinny jeans with black knee high boots, and a pink shirt which was ripped from the back. I had a black tank top under my shirt and my hair was braided to the side. I opened the door to see Bellamy standing in front of me wearing jeans and plain gray T-shirt.
"Hey." I said.
He smiled." Ready?" I nodded and he put his hand on the small of my back and guided me to his car. I say in the from seat next to Bellamy. He turned on the radio and started driving.
" Put this around your eyes." He handed me a blindfold.
"Why?" I asked.
"Just do it Princess." He said. I rolled my eyes, but put it on anyways. A while later I felt the car stop and heard Bellamy get out of the car. Then I felt my door open and someone guiding me. Slowly I felt my blindfold come off. I marveled at the sight I front of me. It was a crystal blue lake surrounded by grass and trees, the air smelled fresh.
"Like it Princess?" Bellamy asked.
"No." I turned to him, and almost laughed at his worried expression. " I love it!" I threw my arms around him.
He chuckled."There's more." He then lead me to a spot near the lake with a circle table set up. The table cloth was light blue. In the middle there was a pizza and bacon cheeseburgers, along with a bottle of Sprite and Pepsi.
" I thought that on our first date we should both eat our favorite foods." He said.
I smiled at him. "Good thinking Mr. Blake."
"Thank you, Ms. Princess."
I laughed. "Ms. Princess?"
"Yep." He held out a chair for me and I sat down. He sat across from me.
"Sprite or Pepsi?" He asked.
"Pepsi." He served me Pepsi in a glass cup and served himself Sprite, then he grabbed a pizza slice and I grabbed a bacon burger. We stayed in comfortable silence while we ate. Once we were finished Bellamy asked." Wanna swim?"
"No, I don't have a swim suit."
"Ok, hey so what do you want to do?" He asked.
"How 'bout we just talk? I mean we don't know much of each other." I suggested.
"What do you want to talk about?"
My mind flashed back to the night Anya and her Grounders attacked us.
"You and The Grounders." I said. His face tensed." You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"It's fine, I can't keep these secrets forever, and who better to tell the, to than you." I smiled at this. He continued." When I was in sixth grade, when I was 13 you know because I got back and started school late." I nodded. " I met Anaya, and we began dating. A while after the start of our relationship she introduced me to the Grounders. I joined to provide a better life for Octavia. At first I only robbed gas stations. Later on I robbed stores, people, homes, and even businesses. Then when I was 15 I began to assault people. Beat them up because they owed the Grounders money. I hurt a lot a people Clarke."
"Why'd you quit?" I asked.
"Two reasons, one because I found out Anaya had been bullying O, and because they wanted me to do something I didn't want to do, but I had to." He grew quiet as he finished that last sentence. I dragged my chair closer to him and put my hand on his knee. He looked at me. "You can tell me."
He nodded and continued." I shot Mayor Jaha."
I gasped."What?"
"They said if I didn't they'd hurt Octavia."
A/N This is super short I know. Sorry I'm ending it there cause I had to re write this whole thing since my Wattpad app shut down before I could save the chapter. I'll put part 2 up tomorrow, it'll start right from where this on ended.
