I finally found a beta, actually she found me and she's awesome. So a big thank you goes out to LuxeLisbon for looking over my work.
I cursed Bellamy under my breath as I looked at myself in the mirror, I had never been this nervous to show my face at school as I was right now. I wanted to look good, but I didn't want it to look like I was trying too hard. Which lead to a pile of discarded clothing on the floor, as I remained unsure of what they hell I was supposed to wear.
'Clarke if you want me to drop you off at school we need to leave in ten.'
'If you bought me a car, we wouldn't have this problem every morning.' I yelled back.
'Clarke we've talked about this, I don't want to fight this morning, get your stuff and let's go.' Yes they had talked about it in length and her mother's position hadn't changed one bit especially since the accident. There wasn't much I could do, since my mother refused to let me work so I could focus on my studies. So much for being a princess, I didn't even have my own carriage. I couldn't help but laugh at my own joke; Bellamy would have loved it.
God dammit, when did everything start revolving around him? Oh yes, since we slept together and I became absolutely addicted to his touch.
The knee length skirt with my red V-neck that showed off my figure would have to do. I grabbed a quick breakfast and met my mother in the car she did not look pleased.
'Is that what you're going to wear?'
'Yes, what's wrong with my outfit.'
'It looks like you're going out to a club rather than school. I don't have time to wait for you to get changed but tomorrow I would suggest you consider something more suitable. You don't want to be attracting the wrong kind of attention, especially not at that school.'
'Yes mother.' I knew if I argued with her, it would lead to another talk about having me transfer into a private school, and that was not an option I wanted to consider, especially not now.
The parking lot at school was already packed when she dropped me off; I made my way through the crowd of people, passing relatively unnoticed. I heard him laugh before I actually spotted him, he was siting on top of a picnic table with his closest friends. I recognized Murphy right away, sleazy bastard if I ever saw one. Miller was the nicest of the bunch, we weren't friends but he was always kind to me anytime we had a class together. Of course he had his usual horde of girls hovering around him. I turned my eyes away, reminding myself that he wasn't mine and I had no right to feel any animosity towards these women. I picked up speed as I passed in front of the group, hoping not to draw any attention.
'Hey princess, you're looking nice today. Hoping to meet your prince charming, I'm afraid you came to the wrong place.' The rest of the gang chuckled at his comment; I glared at them, narrowing my eyes at Bellamy. In all the years we've gone to school together he has always gone out of his way to taunt me, so it would be out of character for him not to say anything. However, it hurt more than I expected. I had prepared myself to be ignored, but was unprepared for this.
I refused to react to his attack and simply walked away. Octavia was leaning in the doorway also glaring at her brother.
'I'm sorry he's a total ass.' I looked at her wondering why we never became friends, maybe her brother had told her to stay away from me. It seemed we would get along really well.
'Don't worry, his words don't really bother me.'
'Sorry, I just assumed because you looked a little sad, sometimes I wonder how we could be related.' I sent her an apologetic smile, wanting to get away from her as quick as possible. If she had been able to notice the sadness in my eyes I was afraid what else she would pick up on if I stuck around. I turned giving one last glance at Bellamy, who was looking at me and his sister with a confused look painted on his features.
I walked towards my first period of the day, chemistry, while praying that Bellamy wouldn't be in any of my classes this year. When things went south, and part of me was convinced it would happen sooner than later, it might get awkward to be so close to him everyday.
Unfortunately as soon as I sat down, at the back of the room, I saw him stroll in the class without a care in the world. None of his friends were with him, but Roma was following him closely. His eyes glanced around the classroom and stopped when he spotted me. He walked towards the back, taking the sit next to me as if it was an every day occurrence.
'Shouldn't you be siting at the front of the class princess, aren't you afraid you're going to miss too much by hanging around at the back with us.'
'That's right go to the front with all the other goody two-shoes.' Bellamy had a look of annoyance on his face at Roma's interruption, but she was so focused on me that she didn't notice anything.
'I don't know if I move who are you going to cheat off?'
'Is that an open invitation?'
'Maybe if you behave, I'll consider it.' I was trying not to smile, but the fact that Bellamy was openly flirting with me made that feat quite difficult. Roma of course, poor girl, was oblivious to the whole exchange.
The class was boring, as the first class back normally is, a brief introduction to the syllabus and what would be expected of us over the course of year. The fact that Bellamy was so near and yet impossibly far, because I couldn't reach out to touch him was maddening. During class he took a peek at my schedule, and noticed we also had history class together, but that wasn't until tomorrow. He seemed happy with this discovery, which threw me off balance. Then again maybe he was pleased because that gave him more opportunities to annoy me. He seemed to get great pleasure from torturing me; I wouldn't be surprised if he considered this to be foreplay. The rest of the morning continued to drag on, I wondered why they even made us go to class, it's not like we were learning anything today.
When lunch came around I was glad for the break, I didn't mind school as long as I wasn't wasting my time, and the first day same as the last were always the worst. The halls were empty as I made my way towards the cafeteria, I was starting to think that Bellamy had taken ninja classes over the summer, because once again I didn't hear him approach, it wasn't until he grabbed hold of my hand pulling me in the opposite direction of the cafeteria that I noticed him.
'Bellamy what the hell what happened to secrecy.'
'Everybody's at lunch calm down.' We approached the janitor's closet, as Bellamy took out a set of keys, unlocking the door.
'You have got to be kidding. How did you even get those keys.'
'Trust me you don't want to know. You know this is entirely your fault, you can't come waltzing into school wearing that outfit and not expect me to want to jump you the second we get a minute alone.'
'You're ridiculous, we are not doing it in the janitor's closet, I know your other conquests had looser morals, but this is where I draw the line.'
'Come on princess, I'm not expecting that much, now come on in before someone sees us.' I reluctantly entered hoping he was being honest about not taking it too far.
'And for the record I've never brought anyone in here.'
I found that statement hard to believe but the look of innocence on his face almost had me convinced he might be telling the truth.
As soon as he closed the door behind me his lips were on mine, and it finally felt like I was able to breath again. The whole school could be burning down I'm not sure I would noticed as long as I had Bellamy wrapped around me. He grabbed my ass and lifted me from the ground, shoving me against the door. True to his word he didn't let his hand wander, and I found myself a little disappointed, so I moved my hips forwards hoping to form a little friction.
'Fuck Clarke you're making it very hard for me to behave right now. You're no princess you're the devil.' I grinned at him; I loved that I could make him fall apart. He leaned his forehand against mine, trying to get his breathing under control. He gently put me back down on my feet. Holding my face in his hands and kissing me gently.
'So what did you and my sister talk about this morning?'
'Why? Are you worried I'll corrupt her?'
'No, it was nice to see her talk to someone for a change.'
'You know it's your fault she so isolated.'
'What do you mean?'
'Really you don't know? Any girl that tries to befriend her has ulterior motive, so Octavia seems to have decided to just ignore them all and do her own thing.'
'How could you possibly know any of this?'
'Because again mostly because of you I'm also isolated, so what else have I got to do then observe you all.'
'Clarke, I know I've always been an ass towards you, I never took the time to get to know you and instead made a rash judgement about you based on your family. I still believe you don't belong here, it's just not your world, but I am sorry for being responsible for making it worst for you. And as for this morning, you know I didn't have a choice.' Bellamy seemed genuinely repentant for his previous actions.
'I know if you hadn't said anything it would have looked suspicious and we don't want anybody finding out about us. I get it.'
'But I was being truthful, you're not going to find your prince charming here. That's never going to be me, this is purely physical.'
'If I wanted a prince charming I wouldn't be here with you, I'll settle for a dark knight for as long as I can get him.'
'I can live with that.' He gave me one last kiss before poking his head out to make sure the coast was clear before leading me out.
'I'll catch you later princess.'
I was already getting in too deep and it had only been a day, if Bellamy kept being this gentle with me, I might forget how much of an ass he really is and actually fall for him. That man was trouble.
If you find the story to be a little fast pace it's normal, the first few chapters are to set up the characters for the big plot of the story. Reviews are always appreciated.
