The wind swept through the camp and made everyone shiver. A few of you were currently sitting in a ring and talking. The cozy fire in the middle of the ring cast a kind of spooky light over everyone. The trees started moving back and forth because of the wind. You jumped when you heard a stick break behind you and quickly turned around. But you were relieved when you saw it was just Murphy. You let out a deep sigh and turned back to the fire.
"Jumpy are we Y/n?" Murphy said and slid down beside you on the log.
"Oh shut up." You said and hit him softly on the arm.
"Hey everyone, since Y/n is a bit scared, why don't we tell some scary stories?" Murphy said and looked and everyone.
"Yeah that's a great idea!" Said Octavia.
"Yeah!" Everyone agreed.
"I'm not scared tho." You mumbled.
Murphy chuckled.
"I'll be here if you're scared." He whispered in your ear and moved a bit closer.
"Yeah yeah, whatever." You chuckled, but felt a slight blush appear on your cheeks.

Murphy was actually someone you liked a lot, like a lot. He was kind of mean to everyone, but he was almost always sweet to you. He was also very funny and you really liked him.
You were always a bit nervous when you were around him and your best friend Raven always teased you about it. You denied that you liked him every time, but it was probably obvious. Like right now, when you felt your whole face get red when he moved closer to you.

"Who will go first?" Clarke said and looked around the group.
"I want to!" Octavia said excitedly.
"Go ahead!" Clarke said.
Octavia started telling the story and you listened carefully. It was pretty scary and you were so in to the story, you didn't notice someone sneaking up behind you...
Suddenly, someone put their hands on your shoulders and screamed. You jerked and stood up and screamed. Both Murphy and Raven behind you, started laughing hysterically.
"Told you you were scared." Murphy said between laughter.
"You're so easily scared." Raven laughed.
"It's not funny!" You said and hit them both playfully.
"Oh it sure is." Murphy said and laughed even more.
You made a mad face, but soon a small smile appeared. They were so annoying, but you had to confess it was a bit funny.

Everyone continued telling scary stories and it became a bit cold. You shivered and felt yourself get goosebumps.
"Are you cold?" Murphy whispered to not disturb the storyteller.
"Yeah." You mumbled.
Murphy slowly put his arm around your shoulders and stroked your arm. You blushed even worse than before and whispered:
"Thank you."
"No worries." Murphy answered and smiled at you.
You smiled back and felt your heart beat faster. He was so cute.

On your way back to your tent, you were smiling uncontrollably. What if Murphy liked you back? He had been extremely sweet today. That may be a sign he liked you, right?
You still smiled when you rounded the little "house" that was the slaughterhouse. You smiled until you saw Murphy, kissing a girl. You froze where you stood and just stared. Tears started to burn behind your eyes and your smile faded. Clearly, he didn't like you back.
You turned on the spot and walked away as quietly as you could. But unfortunately, you accidentally broke a stick.
"Y/n?" You heard from behind you.
"Shit." You mumbled to yourself.
'Get your shit together Y/n, act as if you don't care. Smile. Stop looking sad.' You thought and then turned around.
"Oh hey Murphy." You said and put on a fake smile.
"Did you see that?" He looked a bit worried.
"Um yeah." You said and your smile faded. Instead, tears started rolling down your cheeks.
'Damn it.' You thought and tried to wipe them away.
"Are you okay Y/n?" Murphy asked.
"Yeah yeah I'm fine. Good night." You hurried away from there.
You looked over your shoulder and saw Murphy standing there with a questioning face.

When you came back to your tent, you burst in to tears. You sunk down on to your sleeping bag and buried your head in your hands. You felt your sleeves on your sweatshirt get all wet.
Why did he kiss that girl? Didn't he like you at all? Maybe he was just playing you. He sure seemed like the type.
After a while, your eyes were red and swollen. You wiped the last tears away and stood up. Alright, if he didn't like you then he wouldn't care if you kissed someone, right?
You decided to do a test the next day, to see if he liked you or if he actually didn't care. You hoped he only kissed that girl because she kissed him first, but that was probably wishful thinking. You feel asleep thinking about the next day, plotting your plan.

You woke up the next morning, still a bit swollen around your eyes. You quickly fixed that by washing your face with cold water. Then you got dressed and walked of your tent.
It was a beautiful morning. A bit cold in the air but at the same time warm because of the sun that broke through the branches in the tree crowns. You took a deep breath of the crisp morning air. A perfect day to make Murphy jealous.

You walked to the center of the camp where everyone was eating breakfast. You said hello to everybody and sat down next to Raven.
"Good morning Y/n, did you sleep well?" She said while munching on a carrot.
"Not really, but listen I have to tell you something."
"What?"
"Okay so, I saw Murphy kiss a girl yesterday."
"Wait what? That little cockroach... I will kill him..." Raven stood up.
"No no no, listen! Sit down." You said and grabbed Raven's arm to pull her down again.
"Fine." She sat down again.
"Okay so I have a plan. You've told me you think he likes me too, right?"
"So you admit to liking him?"
"Whatever, but my plan is to make him jealous."
"Okay that sounds pretty smart actually, so he'll get to know how it feels."
"Exactly."
"So how are you going to do it?"
"Watch me."

You stood up and walked over to Bellamy Blake, a handsome boy or well man, that was a few years older than you.
"Hey Bell, need any help?" You said.
"No it's fine Y/n thanks." He continued with carrying firewood.
"I could help you with something else later if you would like." You leaned closer to him where he had stopped.
"What did you say?"
"Later tonight." You said and leaned as close as you could, so that you were practically in his face.
Bellamy gulped and then smirked.
"Sounds good to me."
You walked back to Raven and smirked.
"So the plan is to fuck Bellamy?" She raised her eyebrows.
"No, I'll almost fuck him. I just want Murphy to see me with him."
"Okay that's smart, let's hope he sees you two." She winked.
"Yeah."

The day went on and it was soon evening. Everyone had eaten dinner together and some people were now drinking some of Monty's moonshine, since it was Friday.
"Hey." Someone purred in your ear from behind.
You jumped, but smirked when you saw who it was.
"Hey Bellamy."
"So, about what you said earlier..."
"Let's do it now." You said and took a step closer to him.
"I've thought about it Y/n, and I don't think it's a good idea."
"Uh fine, but can you at least kiss me?"
"What, why?"
"To be honest I just wanted to hook up with you to make someone jealous."
"Wow that's not offensive at all." Bellamy said.
You rolled your eyes and said: "Will you help me?"
"Sure, is he here?"
Your eyes scanned the camp and found Murphy, already staring at you two. You turned back to Bellamy with a smirk on your lips and nodded.
Bellamy nodded back and grabbed you by the waist to pull you closer. He placed his lips on yours while you put your hands around his neck.
After about 2 minutes someone grabbed your arm harshly and pulled you away from Bellamy.
"What the-"
"Just come here." Murphy muttered with an angry glare at Bellamy and pulled you with him.

Murphy pulled you through the whole camp with a tight grip around your arm. You could barely keep up with his fast pace.
"Where are we going?"
No answer.
Murphy soon stopped and pushed you up against the drop-ship. His face was inches from yours and you could feel his warm breath against your lips.
"Why did you kiss him?" He asked while looking directly into your eyes.
"Because I wanted to." You snapped.
"But... I thought you liked me."
Your eyes widened and you looked at him in shock. You felt your cheeks get warm and your breath hitched.
"How do you know?" After you said it, you mentally facepalmed. You just confessed your feelings to him.
"I guessed." He smiled his signature crooked smile.
"Okay you know, so what about it?"
"So you haven't noticed I like you back?"
"But you kissed that girl?" Your voice was breaking.
"Duh, to make you jealous."
You just stared at him for a few minutes, unable to speak. He tried to make you jealous? And you thought he didn't even care about you. How could you be so stupid.
"So what now?" You mumbled and felt a blush appear on your cheeks again.
Murphy didn't answer. Instead, he placed his chapped lips on yours. You grabbed his soft hair to pull him closer and kissed him passionately back. His hands snaked around your waist. Your stomach felt like it was full of butterflies.
After some minutes, you pulled away and breathed heavily.
"Wow." You said.
"Yeah." Murphy smiled.
