By the time that the weekend rolled around, Abby was feeling a lot better. She had been sleeping better of a night and hadn't been working as hard on the farm.
"Hey Clarke! You want to train?"
Clarke waved from the tractor in the field and headed for the barn.
Martha watched from the porch as the two warmed up and started stretching. She could help but feel glad that Abby had come into their lives. Ever since she had, Clarke had been doing better at school and he even seemed to be having more fun. Martha smiled when Jonathon wrapped his arms around her waist.
"What are you smiling at?" He placed a kiss to her cheek and followed her gaze to where Abby and Clarke were battling each other. They weren't holding back either. The only difference was today is that they were both blindfolded.
"I was admiring the changes that Abby has produced in Clarke. You know he really likes her."
Martha winced as Abby took a hit to her face and landed on her back. A puff of dirt went up around her. Picking herself up, she dusted her pants down and resumed her fighting stance.
"Not bad, you're getting better." Grinning, she turned her head to the side. Listening for him, as she could not see him. Neither of them stopped when a car pulled in the drive way.
"Hey Lana, Chloe." Jonathon said as he and Martha walked down to greet the two girls.
"Hi, we just wanted to know if Clarke was around." Chloe said as she joined Lana at the front of the car. Both girls jumped when a cry came from near them. Looking around they saw Abby and Clarke fighting.
"What are they doing?" Lana asked as she stepped a little closer. Martha grabbed her arm to stop her.
"I wouldn't go any closer if I were you. They tend to get a little feisty."
Both Lana and Chloe were about to ask what she meant when Abby grabbed Clarke in lock hold and threw him across the yard. Clarke jumped back up and stood still, awaiting his chance to attack. He didn't have to wait long as Abby stepped close. Grabbing her, they ended up on the ground. Each wrestling for dominance and the chance to win this round. Everyone watched them for about five minutes before Clarke cheated and used his ability. Abby fought against him till the end before finally admitting submission.
"So, I win." Clarke said as he removed his blindfold.
"Yeah only cause you cheated!" Abby said as she pounced at him, pinning him beneath her.
Clarke placed his hands on her hips as hers were on either side of his head. Their eyes locked and slowly they leant towards each other. Abby closed her eyes when there were just millimeters between their lips.
"Hey guys!"
Abby jumped off Clarke and stood, avoiding everyone's eyes. She was embarrassed and ran before anyone could say anything to her.
Clarke wanted to go off and find where Abby had gone, but with Chloe and Lana at the house, his parents had insisted that he stay.
"So who are you going to ask to the spring formal?" Lana asked as she sat down in the chair across from him in the loft.
"I have no idea. I might not go."
Lana was going with Whitney as per usual and Chloe had said that she had her eye on someone and hoped that they would ask her. Lana and Clarke parents knew that Chloe wanted to go with Clarke, but in the time since Abby had arrived it was as if he didn't even notice her when Abby was in the room.
"You can't not go! It's Spring Formal."
Clarke shook his head and walked to the window and used his x-ray vision to see if Abby was anywhere nearby but it was no use she would have made sure that she was out of his range by now.
"Look if you don't mind, I'm going to go back to my chores."
Clarke left the loft and jumped back up on the tractor and headed out to the field where he was before Abby had called him in to train.
Chloe looked at Lana.
"Well I guess that I can't be more obvious about the way I feel." Tears welled up in her eyes but she blinked them away, refusing to let them fall. Lana placed her arm around Chloe and together they left and headed to The Talon.
