CHAPTER 2: Play Nice

Day one.

It's been a day since the deal between the gang, to be honest, it is worse than Clarke and Bellamy fighting with each other every time they're in the same room. They look like they are about to explode, but instead of yelling at each other they were yelling at everyone but each other. It was 10 times worse than them yelling at each other, though. Clarke and Bellamy's fighting was like a release or drug to them. Take away the drug and what do you get? A very irritated, crazy, agitated person, and that is how they were acting. Not toward each other thought, but everything else.

Octavia wanted to call off the deal just for them to stop yelling at her. It's Friday in the evening when everyone started getting off work. Clarke storms into the house, she practically slams her keys on the table. Bellamy growls at the sound but doesn't say anything as he watches the TV. Octavia and Lincoln were getting ready to go on their date. Raven is in the kitchen ordering pizza online.

"Bellamy, the TV is too loud turn it down." Clarke almost yells at him in exhaustion.

"I actually can't hear it so I think I will just turn it up."

Bellamy doesn't look at her as he turned it up. Her eye twitches and she was over to the TV within seconds to turn off completely. Bellamy stands up and is about to yell at her, but stops just as he points at her. He storms into the kitchen needing to yell at someone.

"Raven, did you order the fucking pizzas already?!"

"No! Chill I'm looking at the deals they have." She snaps back at him and glares at Lincoln for striking the stupid deal.

"It's just pizza!" He yells at her.

Clarke storms in and yells at her, "Are you going to let him treat you like that?!"

Raven leans back as they both begin to yell at her about each other, she sends the couple whose trying to quietly leave the scene a knowing glare. They were going to leave her on Friday night with the two most prideful, stubborn, and irritated people they know alone. Reyes puts her hands up in defeat announcing

"Fine, how about you two pick out a pizza then."

She slides her phone between them and they both go to grab it but stop when they notice the other doing the same. Bellamy was still dressed in his suit but his tie was off, sleeves rolled up and a few buttons were undone. She would never admit it but he looked so good she could just eat him instead.

"Clarke."

"Bellamy."

"Princess."

"Blake."

"Griffin."

"I'm the lady so I think I should pick out the pizza."

"But I'm a gentleman so I'll do it."

She looks at him ready to let out all she has been holding in. Octavia and Lincoln stop trying to leave when they see the face she was making at Bellamy, Raven also stares directly at Clarke seriously. She was making the face she always does when she is about to give in. The man in front of her sees her expression and panics knowing they will lose the bet if he doesn't fix things. She begins opening her mouth and he shoves the phone in her hands.

"How about you pick the pizza and I'll pay for it."

Clarke closes her mouth and nods too scared of saying something that could be offensive to him. The rest of the group groan and moan in disappointment. Raven, Octavia and Lincoln all storm out of the kitchen. Bellamy and Clarke smile at each other in relief. She orders the pizza they both would like and he takes out some cash. They sit on the counter like the just ran marathon, Clarke finally speaks up.

"Thanks."

"The first day is the hardest. Right?"

He sends a smirk her way but she can see in his eyes he was worried they would lose. She sits up confidently and nods as she thinks about what to expect for this week. Then she does something that never happens when Bellamy was around, she laughs. Not at time him but to their situation, she turns and chokes out.

"Let's hope so."

Day two.

Clarke gets out of the shower with her robe around her and her towel covering her hair. She can hear Lincoln watching the news downstairs, he always does on Saturday mornings while he makes everyone breakfast. She smiles to herself as Octavia complains about how boring the news is and that she wants to change it. But Lincoln pulls the "I'm making breakfast for you" card and she shuts right up. Raven is still sleeping in her room across from hers, she is the only one who can sleep all day and be okay with it. She walks back into her room and closes the door, forgetting to lock it as she takes off her towel and robe to change. She has just put on her Pink Floyd panties and was about to put on a bra when Bellamy walks in like he owns the place.

"Hey, did you see- I didn't know you liked Pink Floyd." He leans on the wall with a smug expression as he stares at her goods.

Her eyes go wide and she covers her breasts, "Bellamy! What the fuck- please leave."

He tries to hide a smile as she grabs her towel to help cover herself, "What your favorite song?"

She looks at him like he's crazy, "What are you talking about, Blake? Can you get out, as you can see I'm changing."

"Pink Floyd, what's your favorite song?" He chuckles while looking to where he can see the band's name on her ass.

She growls and clenches her teeth wanting to throw something at him, "If I answer you will you leave?"

"Maybe…" He shrugs knowing she is wanting to yell and throw shit at him.

"Maybe!" She yells and they both look out the door in a panic to see if anyone noticed. When no one comes running up they let out a sigh in relief.

"That was too close, princess." He begins to walk closer to her knowing it would piss her off more.

"Fine, fine. My favorite song is Speak To Me on Dark Side Of The Moon. Now can you leave." She takes a step back feeling exposed.

"Well, why didn't you just ask?" He grins ear to ear acting like it was the first time she told him to leave, "Oh and I just came in to see if you knew anything about the neighbors moving in next door."

"No! Now get out." She does everything but yells at him.

The house on the left of them has been for sell since they moved in and by what Bellamy just said someone finally bought it. She has no clue on who it is, she didn't even know someone finally bought it. Once he leaves she throws a shoe at the door and curses to herself as she finishes getting dressed. She looks out her window to see the vacant house next to them and sure enough, the for sale sign was gone. Bellamy walks into the kitchen where Lincoln gives him a look commenting.

"I heard yelling."

He waves his words off, "Clarke fell and I came in like a hero to save her."

He raises an eyebrow, "A hero? Really?"

"Yup, you can even ask her when she gets down here." He smiles in satisfactory.

His friend rolls his eyes and continues to cook the bacon. Clarke practically stomps downstairs now fully dressed, she growls when she sees her friend on the couch still in her Pj's. Octavia gives her a look.

"What's up your ass this morning?"

"Well, it's not your brother's dick that's for sure." She says easily.

Octavia looks to her boyfriend, "Does that count as disrespect."

Bellamy and Clarke both answer "No." before Lincoln can.

He rolls his eyes his roommates and answers her himself, "Technically No."

Clarke smiles and sticks her tongue out at her best friend then turns to steal a piece of bacon from the kitchen.

"So Clarke…" Lincoln stops cooking for a moment and leans on the count with a smug look, "Bellamy said he saved you this morning."

She looks to the guy who supposedly saved her and he nods for her to with it, she lets out a breath then looks away from Bellamy to Lincoln nodding, "Yup, he saved me."

"Saved you from what?" Octavia asks curiously then comes into the kitchen and hugs her babe from behind.

"He saved me by promising he was going to take my place in career day at Ark high school."

Clarke leans on the counter devilish smile Bellamy never knew she could make. Lincoln smirks to himself as he notices their stories of why she was yelling were different but he lets it go knowing they still had 5 more days. His eyes go wide when he realizes what she said making him blurt out.

"Hell!- Yeah… Yeah, I promised her."

Lincoln gives the two a look and declares, "You all said you were coming on Monday! I know it sucks but I need that bonus. That means you're coming to Octavia."

At Ark High school they were bringing people with different jobs to talk to the students about their future for a week. If Lincoln gets the most volunteers then he wins a bonus. He already has 3 people volunteer for him this week, all he needs is for them four to go so he can win. The most he's heard a teacher from his school bring is five people and he'll have seven if they go through with it.

She stops hugging him in confusion, "I never said I was going to."

"Yeah, you did." Lincoln closes his eyes knowing this won't end well, "You all promised you'd come on my last birthday."

Bellamy snort and sends his sister a look telling her he didn't believe her boyfriend, "There's no way I promised you that."

"But you promised me so you're going."

Clarke raises an eyebrow as she takes another bite of her piece of bacon, Clark: 01, Bellamy: 02. He growls and walks out of the kitchen before he can say something he will regret. Raven comes down looking like she has been sleeping for ages. She yawns and walks into the kitchen while thinking out loud.

"I smell bacon."

"Ray, tell everyone you guys promised to go to career day at my school." Lincoln grabs the plate of bacon before she could grab one.

She growls in frustration, "Yeah, yeah. We're going, now give it!"

He smiles in victory and gladly gives her a piece, Octavia then groans like a bratty girlfriend and asks, "Fine! What day do we have to babysit the little shit-turds."

"Good choice of words Sis," Bellamy calls from the living room.

"It's this Monday so get something to present." He answers Octavia.

"What…? Like present as in homework?" Clarke asks a little snappy.

"Yes princess, it's only for a day so suck it up," Bellamy answers her like she is a child.

Her eyes go wide as she looks to her other roommates, "Does that count as disrespect?"

"No, and you do know if one of yall fucks up you both go to therapy, right?" Raven explains, Bellamy and Clarke begin to yell at Raven like this is a new to them.

"When did the rules change!"

"They didn't."

"Well, I don't remember the rule if he fucks up I am fucked as well."

"It was implied that what happens to one of y'all it happens to the other."

The oldest Blake and the blonde share a look before turning to their friends ready to yell their asses off.

Third day.

Sunday was the easiest of days for Clarke and Bellamy. Sunday is the day of the week that gets them a head start for the week. They get the basics done, clean house, plan for the week, do things they never have the time to do during the week or just need to catch on some sleep. Bellamy was sitting on a stool at the counter with his new case for this week spread out in front of him. He is in dark blue jeans, a snug plain gray t-shirt with black socks. His hair's a mess since he wasn't planning on going anywhere today. Lincoln was in the living room watching a show called Survivor-man while grading papers. He was in sweats and a hoodie, with no intentions of leaving the house.

He has his feet on the coffee table as reads a student's answer, "Hey Bell, how do you spell deleterious?"

He doesn't look up from his word as he replies, "You're a teacher sound it out."

"Fuck you."

"Maybe later."

"Maybe later meaning before or after you fuck Clarke?"

"Excuse me?"

Bellamy looks up from his work to see Lincoln sporting a smug look on his face, "You heard me."

Bell shakes his head and looks back at his work as he tries to look unfazed, "Clarke and I aren't like that."

"Were you guys once?"

"Nope."

"Are you sure?"

Bellamy groans at his friend's obnoxious curiosity, he sets his pen on the counter and looks to Lincoln who was now watching him with interest, "Dude, what the hell are you talking about?"

Lincoln looks back down to his papers and shrugs innocently, "I've just been thinking-"

"Well, that's never good."

"-about how you two can argue for hours but since the bet you guys have been more…. Flirty."

Bellamy rolls his eyes and throws his pen at Lincoln's head, "We don't flirt, we haven't slept together and we have never thought about shit like that so stop trying to unveil something that has never happened."

Bellamy squirms in his chair knowing that everything he just said was a damn lie but he wasn't going to reveal that after all these years. Clarke would kill him, their friends and families would flip out or worse. There were just things between him and her that they just wouldn't speak of. That's when the teacher gets up from the couch and leans on the counter facing Bellamy.

"So you never thought about it?"

"About what?" Bellamy growl as he plays dumb, he gets another pen without looking at his roommate.

"Oh, come on. You can't tell me that it never crossed your mind about her in the same bed with you?" Lincoln smirks at him like his sister does.

"You really need to stop spending so much time with my sister. You're beginning to act like her."

"So is that a yes..?"

"No."

"So it's a no?"

"No- Yes. I don't know, leave me alone I'm working."

Lincoln chuckles and goes back to his seat knowing it was a yes. He would never tell his girlfriend, though, probably because she wouldn't believe him even if he did. But as his best friend he noticed it like it was screaming at him. He can tell by the way Bellamy would always search the crowd for her or check her out when she didn't notice.

The front door slams open after a few moments with the rest of their roommates. Clarke is cursing her way down the hallway as Octavia points to her brother furiously. Raven is on the open yelling at someone. Lincoln and Bellamy glanced at each other knowing that won't be getting any better from here on out. The girls are in their church clothes, they go to church every other Sunday just them three. Last time they brought Bellamy he slept with preacher's daughter and Lincoln rather read from a bible than go talk to strangers about god's word. Octavia glares daggers at her brother and practically yells at him.

"How many girls Bellamy?!"

"What are you talking about?" He chuckles but it dies down at the three girls expression.

Raven gets off the phone and yells at him, "Well great, we were just banned! A church Bellamy! We got banned from a fucking church because of you!"

"Oh, come on. We all know you guys aren't exactly angels so-"

Octavia eyes bug out of her head at what he was about to say, "Stop before I let Clarke punch you."

Bellamy listens and doesn't finish his sentence, he looks over to the only other guy here. He was grinning like an idiot at Bellamy's situation.

Raven gets Bellamy's attention when she tells him, "Clarke was almost in a brawl because some bitch from our church thought that she was the girl you slept with while you guys were dating!"

He stands up and looks to Clarke who hasn't said one word since she came into the living room. She was pacing the floor not looking at him in fear of yelling at him. Bellamy glances to Lincoln, noticing he is quiet suddenly as well. He then took notice Clarke had a few scrapes on her arms and face. Her hair was a little messed up and he could see bruises forming on her knuckles a face as well. He took a step closer to her and saw her clothes were slightly dirty. He suddenly stiffened at the thought of someone hurting her. Yes, he would hurt her with words but never physically. Plus she has said a lot of things to him that did some damage. He finally stops looking over Clarke at the face his younger sister begins making.

Octavia nearly screams at him, "We got kicked out of a church because of you!"

"How- What- I don't remember sleeping with a girl from church!" He defends himself with his eyebrows raised.

"Well, she clearly remember us somehow!" Raven exclaims like she wanted to throw a hammer at him.

Clarke finally looks like she has calmed down when she looks to Bell, "Do you know a girl named Rachel with red hair."

Bellamy lifts his arms in the air like he doesn't have a clue but they fall once he realizes who they were talking about. He sighs as he shamefully answers, "Yeah- but I met her at the station, though… She was there for about a month until she got transferred."

"What exactly happened?" Lincoln finally speaks up after this whole time.

Clarke sighs knowing she will have to be the one to explain it, "I thought she was just one of Octavia's friend…"

They just got done with the service, Clarke went to use the bathroom. When she came back out Raven and Octavia were talking to a girl with red hair. She was thin with small curves, her face looked gentle with a smile planted on her lips. Clarke walks up to them with a big smile.

"Hey."

Octavia lights up, "Hey! This is Rachel, remember a few months ago Bell was dating a girl but he never told us who."

She snorts and whispers to Raven, "Probably because he knew it wouldn't last long."

Rachel's eyes go wide, "Excuse me?"

Clarke's smile drops, "I didn't mean to be rude it's just Bell has never had a relationship longer than a month and a half."

"It's true. It's sad but true." Octavia helps take the heat off of her friend.

Raven and Clarke share a looking knowing this girl probably still had feelings for him.

"Oh, I'm Clarke by the way." She officially introduces herself to Rachel while extending her hand for her to shake.

Rachel eyebrow slightly raised at her name, "Clarke Griffin?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Clarke smiles and glances to her friends.

Next thing they knew Rachel swings her hand and slaps Clarke. As a reflex Clarke swings back but instead of slapping her, she punches her. Rachel stumbles back a few steps in shock, Clarke then yells at her confused.

"What the hell was that for!?"

"You were the girl he was sleeping with while we were dating!" She declares.

Raven and Octavia eyes widen and look to Clarke for what she has to say about this, she growls while rubbing her cheek, "What the fuck! No! I'm his roommate you dumb ass! Get your facts right."

"What?! He didn't tell me he had a roommate!" Her mouth drops in shock as she looks to the ground.

"No, not like that-"

Clarke begins to explain but Rachel then punches her. Octavia and Raven look around realizing how big of a scene they were making. Before they could tell Clarke they should leave she punches Rachel causing her to fall. She was on top of her in an instant punching her over and over while her friend tries to pull her off. Tons of people then crowd around them trying to pull Clarke off.

"... So next time you date a girl warn us." Clarke finishes explaining then goes into the kitchen for a drink.

"That's why I was on the phone, I was trying to explain what happen but they don't care. We're officially banned from that church." Raven adds as she held up the phone.

Bellamy is quiet for a moment before he looks at Clarke with pride, "You beat up a girl at church?"

"Yup."

"Damn, wow. Clarke you never told me you were good in a fight!" He lights up and follows her into the kitchen wanting details.

Octavia and Raven look at each other in shock at his behavior. Octavia then stated, "So out of all that all you got was Clarke is good in a fight?! You should already know this! You fight with her every day!"

"Yeah, remember the last punch I gave you." Clarke looks to Bell with a smug look then grabs his chin, invading his space and moves closely to whisper, "I can still see the bruise."

Bellamy stands there staring at her like he wanted to rip her to shreds or her clothes, she wasn't sure which. She was still in his personal space when he makes a soft growl, Clarke: 02, Bellamy: 02.

Octavia claps her hand to get everyone's attention, "So it is decided Bellamy warns us about the people he sleeps with?- Okay, good. Put on y'all shoes were going out for lunch."

Lincoln gets up from the couch knowing his girlfriend would drag him out even if he said no. However, Bellamy finally takes his gaze off of Clarke and looks to his sister, "Yes, on warning you guys about my crazy ex's, but no to lunch."

His sister argues, "We just got kicked out of a church because you're a man-whore, Bell. The least you can do is come to lunch."

"No-" He begins to defend himself but Clarke interrupts him.

"It's cool, I guess you don't want to hear the details of what happened after we left the church." Clarke raises an eyebrow while grabbing her purse and making her way to the front door.

Octavia and Raven follow her knowing what she is trying to do, Raven then looks to the guys, "There might have been a throw down outside the church."

Bellamy looks to Lincoln annoyed before moaning, "Fine! But I'm getting a beer."

Lincoln laughs and looks at his watch while walking out the door with the girls, "It's not even 12 yet."

"Does it look like I care." He says bored and shuts the door behind him.

"You know you're an alcoholic when you drink before 12." Clarke sends him a look while unlocking her car for them.

"Ha, never heard that before," Bellamy says sarcastically while opening the car door.

"Hey. Check it out," Octavia nods the the house with a moving truck in front of it, "I didn't know anyone was moving in."

"Yeah, I saw the other day."

Bell admitted, they all get in the car and drive out of their driveway. As they pass they see two young looking guys pop out of the truck, one was wearing goggles and the other look to be Asian. Everyone is staring out the window watching them, that house has been on the market for awhile now. The last family who lived there complained about the noise at their house and the yelling. To be honest, they were a pain in their asses, they just hope their new neighbors aren't the same way. As Clarke drives them by the house she suggests to her roommates.

"We'll say hi when we get back."

"Whatever, I'm ready to hear what happen after you guys got kicked out."

Bellamy demands emotionless while watching her in the mirror. She glances up at him and the same devilish smirk from earlier this week appeared. Knowing the looks she's sending him he looks to his sister who has the same expression. Before he can say something about it Clark says with as grin.

"Nothing happened."

Bellamy and Lincoln offer her confused expression then turn to the other giggling girls, turning back to the blond he says in disappointment, "Nothing?"

"Nothing."

She confirms then throw him a wink his way. Clarke: 03, Bellamy: 02, he leans back wanting to go off on her ass but then relaxes when realizes he has all week. The two have been doing shit like this since middle school so they knew how to truly piss each other off without doing shit that can be blamed on them. Plus when it came to each other they never wanted to admit to defeat so things would always become intense. The two always liked to play with fire.
