AN-Hey guys, thanks for all your responses last chapter! I'm not going to spoil everything, but I have decided on the relationships, and you (well most of you) can thank me because there will be NO LOVE TRIANGLE! At least not a Raven-Finn-Clarke triangle. I make no other promises for the future. Also for Jonty, I think we are just going to have some really close best friends. :)
Okay second, to clear up some confusion, AGES!
Clarke's birthday is in late summer, and as of last chapter, she is 13 and going into eighth grade. Bellamy is a sophomore and is 16. Now know that I purposefully made Clarke young. Not because Bellamy is a pedophile, but because he's a lot more mature than her in the fact that he kissed her. Know HE INITIATED THE KISS. *gasp* Also, that wasn't Bellamy's first kiss, however, that was her first kiss. Meaning Bell stole Clarke's first kiss. They're only two grade years apart, but Clarke isn't really ready for kissing and stuff because she's still pretty young, so we'll hear about that later.
Third, recently I had a really good idea for a joint fanfiction bellarke story inspired by one of my favorite Jily fanfictions (James+Lily from Harry Potter) Basically it's like Clarke and Bellamy being Pen Pals. I have the basic plot details, but what I would want is someone to write from either Clarke or Bellamy's perspective, and I would write from the opposite, if you're interested, either tell me in your review, PM me, message me on tumblr (my url is clark-griffin), or email me at 100delinquents gmail. Thanks!
OKAY HERE'S THE STORY!
The rest of summer passed by quickly. Clarke and Abby stuck around for about a month before boarding a plane to Caprian, a city about 10 miles from Virginia Beach. Octavia spent practically every waking hour with the Griffins before they left, leaving Bellamy to sulk until school started. His year was not looking good so far. Clarke wouldn't even look at him (if she had to be in the same room as him at all), Octavia had only half accepted his apologies, and Bellamy was bored to death of pondering his problems. He honestly hadn't meant to kiss Clarke. All he wanted to do was apologize and finally be friends. Ha! That was never going to happen now. He'd probably never see Clarke again. Bellamy had nothing to do but hope things would eventually get better.
The crowded cafeteria reminded Bellamy of a mob, teenagers mingling with each other, catching up after a long summer. Bellamy, however, sat silently at a table with Atom and some kid named Derek. They were talking about soccer or something, but Bellamy wasn't really paying attention.
"Hey Bell!" Bellamy blinked twice. He looked up and saw Anna Gobis smiling him, wearing a very low-cut top. Behind her, Atom smirked and gave a thumbs up to Bellamy.
"Hey Anna!" Bellamy replied with a smile. "How was your summer?
Anna laughed and took the seat next to him.
"Oh my God, my summer was fantastic! How was yours? Any summer romance?" She teased.
Bellamy thought of Clarke in her bedroom, before pushing her out his mind. "Nope, you?"
"Nah, I didn't hang out with very many guys." Anna batted her eyelashes at him.
"Now why would guys not want to hang out with you?" Bellamy flirted back, putting his arm around her shoulder. "You're stunning!"
Anna giggled and leaned into him. "Bell, you're so sweet!"
Yes, this year was really starting to improve.
Clarke, however, was not having as great of a start. First, her locker combination wasn't working, then some kid named Murphy shoved her in the hallway. She was just happy to have made it to first hour on time.
"We have a new student this year, everyone! Clarke Griffin, would you mind standing up?"
Clarke rose from her seat in the back awkwardly, feeling everyone's eyes on her.
"Clarke is here all the way from-" The teacher looked at his paper, trying to find where he had jotted down Clarke's information.
"California?" A skinny looking guy sitting at Clarke's table offered.
"Err.. Yes! California. Thank you, Jasper!" Mr. Ferris said, looking relieved as he started to hand out today's assignment.
Clarke turned to Jasper, who had returned to the difficult task of balancing a pencil on his nose. "Hey!" she whispered to him, making the pencil fly halfway across the room as he sat up suddenly. He casually looked over to Clarke's seat.
"How did you know-"
"Where you're from?" Jasper interrupted for the second time. "Your backpack says "California or bust" on it." He explained, pointing at it.
"Oh." Clarke said, a pink tinge coloring her cheeks.
"Not to mention, you've got this whole surfer girl feel to you. You can't get that on the east coast. I'm Jasper, by the way." He held out his hand.
"Clarke." She shook it warily.
"I already knew that, silly!" Jasper laughed, making Clarke slightly uncomfortable. "Anyways, this is Raven," he said, pointing to a small but tough-looking girl with long black hair, who nodded at her. " That's her boyfriend, Finn," Jasper motioned to the a tall guy who had his arm around Raven's shoulders. "Miller," a built, tough-looking boy raised his hand with a smile.
"Monty." an Asian guy who sat next to Jasper said a quiet hello, before returning to the class work in front of him. "And I'm Jasper, but you knew that."
Stunned at the large group of friends that all seemed to be interested her, she laughed weakly, feeling faint.
"Are you alright?" Jasper looked at Clarke, concerned.
"Yeah, it's just that at my old school, I didn't even have two friends, let alone four! How do you do it!"
"Two friends?" Jasper said loudly, making the nearby classmates turn around, looking annoyed. "Please don't tell me you're really weird." He said playfully. "Guys," he fake whispered to the rest of the table "I befriended a lunatic! Help!"
"You didn't befriend a lunatic, Jas." Monty said, not looking up from his work. "You befriended four."
Everyone, including Clarke, laughed.
"Hey, Clarke." Clarke looked over to Raven. "We're all going over to my house after school, wanna come with?"
"Erm.. Sure!"
"Sweet! Meet us by the parking lot after 6th hour."
"Okay!" Clarke returned to her school work. This school was definitely better, she thought. Except Octavia and Bellamy weren't here. Wait no. Except Octavia wasn't here. Because she didn't miss Bellamy at all. … Right?
