jasper's pov

"hi, i'm victoria."

i turned around and saw a thin girl with long curly brown hair, the length to her hips, big roundish-almond brown eyes with cute tiny moles under them, long dark eyelashes, full eyebrows, tan skin, a slight upturned tiny nose and a beautiful big smile. i looked at monty with wide eyes.

"is she talking to us?" i whisper yelled, absolutely freaking out.

"hi, i'm monty. monty green." he said back with a smile and stuck out his hand. she shook it carefully, like she could break it. i looked back at her and saw she had glasses. i've never seen anybody with glasses on the ark. they were basic black frames, average sized and rectangular. they suited her well.

"and you are?" she turned to me, still smiling warmly

"i'm jasper jordan." i said back trying to relax. she's hot.

"cool. uh- my last name is rodriguez. since we exchanged those too. so what do you think the ground will be li—" she was interrupted by a guard telling us to buckle up and get into our seats. victoria rodriguez, i'll definitely remember that name. her name reminds me of the word victory. pretty name for a pretty girl too.

"i'll see you around i guess." i heard her say as she walked away to find a seat. i watched her walk away and saw her make small talk with the people next to her. she's friendly, maybe we can be friends. i went to the wall and strapped myself in quickly.

"oooh new girl. i wonder what she's in for." monty said as he buckled himself in. i've seen her before, it's hard to forget a girl like that. i just can't put my finger on where.

i nodded as a reply. "she's pretty too." i said, my eyes still glued to her.

"prisoners of the ark, here me now." i heard the chancellor say on the loudspeaker. but i just drowned it out, i'll hear about it on the ground.

victoria's pov

"we're back, bitches!" i hear a girl scream. i think her name is octavia. the girl under the floor. all of us jumped off the ship and started running around. i looked around and saw so much green. i kneeled down to smell the flowers. these are sunflowers, i've only ever read about them. how exciting, finally being on earth after almost 100 years. i made my way to the cliff to look at the clouds.

"they dropped us on the wrong damn mountain." i overheard clarke say. shit. i made my way back to the ship because i don't want to get lost. i saw clarke working on a map. we need to survive and i need to help out around here if i want to achieve that. i walked over to her.

"hey, i'm victoria. do you need any help with that map? i heard they put us on the wrong mountain, how stupid, right?" i said with a chuckle trying to lighten the mood. she looked at me with a blank stare. well that didn't work.

"we got problems. the communication system is dead. i went to the roof, a dozen panels are missing. heat fried the wires." a boy walked over, i think his name is wells. i heard him getting picked on while we were in the drop ship. i wasn't really paying attention though, i was still over the moon about actually going to the ground.

"ah cool, a map." i heard a boy say to the left of me. "they got a bar in this town? i'll buy you a beer" jasper said to clarke and i. wells pushed him away, seeming to be very sensitive right now with the whole survival thing. everyone is scared though. jasper is just trying to make people laugh.

"hey, hands off him. he's with us" a group of people came over. murphy, i think, was the leader i guess. i looked behind him to see who else is in the group.
