Hello! I've never done anything AU before and never considered it until The 100. Let me say that I used the fact that it's AU to my imagination's advantage. I don't hate Abby at all, but did use her in a way that might give that impression. I promise I don't hate her! I hope you enjoy this and please let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of The 100.

Chapter One

Clarke Griffin slung her bag over her shoulder and slammed her car door shut. She made her way to the building leading to her 3rd floor apartment she shared with her two best friends Raven Reyes and Octavia Blake. Stomping would have been the polite way of describing the way she climbed the steps to the front door of the building. To say she was upset was an understatement. More like furious. She'd spent all week, night and day, studying for her last final which just so happened to be the hardest one. After all that hard work she really felt like she'd bombed it.

Despite the crappy mood she was in she did have one reason to smile. She was finally done for the year and she and her friends were all going on vacation. They were going camping, an activity they made a tradition a few years ago. Along with Octavia's boyfriend Lincoln and Raven's boyfriend Wick their friends Jasper, Monty, and Miller were all going as well. But the one who made the butterflies in her stomach turn was Octavia's brother Bellamy. They'd been friends for a long time and it was arguable, according to everyone else, that he was actually her best friend not Raven and Octavia. She would deny this claim as would he when Miller, Wick, and Lincoln said the same thing about her.

Bellamy was the one person she felt safe with. The one person she felt she didn't have to hide from. Sure she could be herself around her girls, but that was different. He was fiercely protective and was always honest with her whether she wanted to hear it or not. They fought a lot, but that was just because they were both so stubborn. She honestly loved to fight with him. Sometimes she would disagree with him no matter what her opinion was just so she could get him riled up.

Clarke pushed the door open to find the living room empty, but the kitchen occupied by the man she'd just been thinking about. He was filling a cooler with bottles of water. He turned when she shut the door harder than she'd intended to.

"Hey," He said shutting the fridge.

"What are you doing here already Bellamy?" She replied harsher than she'd meant to. "I thought we weren't leaving for another few hours."

Bellamy was about to take the bait that her tone laid at his feet, but then he noticed the slump in her shoulders and the defeated look in her eyes as she dumped her bag on the kitchen chair. As she reached in to grab a water bottle out of the cooler he had open he reached out and placed a hand on her neck, his thumb brushing across her jaw.

"What's wrong Princess?" He asked using the nickname he'd jokingly given her when they met hoping it would coax a smile out of her.

"Nothing. Just threw my future out the window because I can't take a test," She replied. "I think I might have bombed my last final."

"I know you Clarke. And you've never done such a thing," He said wrapping her in a hug. Despite his attempt to make her feel better he felt tears on his shirt from where she rested against his chest. "Hey. It'll be ok. No matter what happens we're here for you."

"Thanks," She said accepting his kiss on her temple before pulling back and wiping her eyes. "I'm just a little tired I think. Where is everyone?"

"Octavia's in her room finishing up, Raven isn't back from her last final yet, and O sent Lincoln downstairs to your storage unit to get the tent," Bellamy replied. "Although he must be having trouble because he hasn't been back yet."

Just then Raven came barreling through the front door, dropped her bag on the coffee table and came to the kitchen. She hopped up onto the kitchen table and plopped onto her back, staring at the ceiling with a huge sigh. Raven was studying electrical engineering which was hard enough. Being one of the only girls made it even harder. She and Clarke had only met a little over a year ago when Clarke had made the unfortunate discovery that her boyfriend at the time had a serious girlfriend from childhood while he'd been dating her - Raven. She'd broken up with him immediately as had Raven, but the girls had begun a friendship. A friendship that Clarke didn't know what she'd do without. Clarke glanced up at Bellamy to find him chuckling and shaking his head.

"Rough final?" He asked as he swiped his hand one last time up and down Clarke's back before releasing her much to her disappointment.

"You could say that," Raven replied. "But I think I did ok. I'm just glad the torture is over for a little while."

"You and me both," Clarke said.

Octavia came out of her bedroom with her phone in her hand. She smiled at her roommates and glanced at her brother.

"Hey Bell, Lincoln is having trouble finding the tent downstairs," Octavia said. "Would you mind going down and helping him?"

"Sure," Bellamy said placing his hand on Clarke's waist to squeeze past her. His hand trailed all the way across her waist as he passed her, something Clarke worked hard not to react to.

"Thank you big brother," Octavia said, glancing curiously at her roommate. "So how did you guys do?"

Both Raven and Clarke grumbled in response causing Octavia to chuckle. Clarke downed the rest of the water in the bottle then tossed it in the trash.

"I have to go pack," She said and started for her bedroom. Both girls followed and perched themselves side by side on her bed with their backs against the headboard. "What? Don't you both have packing to do?"

"I've been packed since yesterday," Raven said.

"I just finished," Octavia said. "Besides we need to talk about what the hell just happened in there."

"I don't know what you mean," Clarke replied as she pulled her duffel bag out of her closet. She started by packing underwear and bras throwing a handful of each in. Next she grabbed shorts and a couple pairs of long yoga pants.

"When I came home you were all wrapped up in his arms, Clarke," Raven claimed. "Plus that whole thing with your waist when he left."

"Did something finally happen between you guys?" Octavia asked watching her best friend closely.

Clarke pulled a couple different swim suits out and threw them in along with shirts and her favorite sweatshirt - one of Bellamy's which should tell them all something. She tossed it in before either of her friends could say anything and looked up to find them both watching her.

"He's my best friend and that's all," Clarke replied. "I just didn't have the best final and he was the first one I saw so he had to bear the brunt of my anger. Instead of fighting with me like I was hoping he would he just decided to be a nice guy."

"That's all?" Raven asked. "What about the feelings you told us about?"

Clarke sighed as she moved to her bathroom and threw the toiletries she'd need into a small bag. She had made the mistake of admitting to both girls that she had feelings for Bellamy after they'd all had a little too much to drink a few months ago. Now both girls couldn't seem to let it go. She came back in and dropped the toiletry bag in with her clothes. As her friends watched her, waiting for a response, Clarke stripped off her jeans and reached for a pair of yoga pants, a purple tank top, and a loose gray top. She pulled her hair up into a messy bun and zipped up her duffel bag.

"You guys should just forget about that," Clarke said. "Nothing will ever come from them anyway so there's no use dwelling on them."

Clarke picked up her bag and brought it to the living room, dumping it on the couch in an effort to get away from friends who seemed to know too much.
