Chapter 18:
Ordinary
BELLAMY POV:
After mine and Clarke's little get together, I decided to go to my tent and relax, maybe even catch a little bit of sleep. I pulled off my ripped T-shirt and hopped into bed shirtless. I covered myself with thick and warm fur. I turned my pillow around, searching for the colder side. My mind was finally at ease as I drifted off to sleep.
CLARKE POV:
As Bellamy left I started cleaning up the dropship. It was around 8:00pm when I finished so I decided to go out of the border. Even though it is extremely dangerous, I felt the need to bathe in the river water near our camp. I went to get some of the girls so we'd all go together and honestly I thought they'd enjoy a 'bath'. I firstly entered O's tent and she immediately agreed and jumped out of excitement, we both then walked over to see if Raven would like to join us. Raven agreed and I even think that she's finally ready to put the whole Finn thing behind us. We then headed towards Scarlet, Octavia really warmed up to her, they're always enjoying each other's company . I am so glad that the majority of the camp had accepted her, she really has become a part of our family.
The girls and I took some spear clothes and essentials as clean water and a knife in case if something dangerous happens.
''Hey Imma catch you all in 10 minutes in front of the gate?'' Raven asked, well more like exclaimed.
Scarlet,O and I nodded in agreement and then ran off to pack the stuff into our small bags.
10 minutes later, we all headed towards the lake in excitement. On our way there, O and Scarlet bonded while Raven and I stayed at the back of our small group.. quiet. I won't lie, it was pretty awkward, I broke the still silence,
''Hey so did you bring some spare clothes?'' I asked her awkwardly, not really knowing what else to ask her.
''Yeah, what about you?'' She replied kindly, lightly smiling.
''Yeah I brought everything.'' I smiled back at her. She nodded and the not so pleasant silence arose again.
''Hey guys come on!!!'' Octavia yelled out to us while happiness filled her warm chocolate - brown eyes.
''Yeah,yeah O'' I said lazily. Raven grinned and we all bursted out in laughter.
''I see it!'' Raven screamed while chuckling.
''Great just be careful and don't make loud noises, my clan could hear you.'' Scarlet said calmly while scaring O and Raven to the core.
''Okay..'' O immediately shut herself off and continued running towards the river quietly.
When she got near the shore she undressed herself, having only her bra and underpants on - relieving most of her skin, luckily it was only us girls. She jumped straight into the river, not even considering to wait for us. We all let out a simple laugh and ran towards her and quickly we all joined in.
The bath was awesome and refreshing, the weather was hot with a warm wind blowing our hear dry. It was so peaceful at this time, sun was setting and the quiet was building up. We had fun and Scarlet even tried teaching us some of the basic swimming techniques. Up on the Ark, we never got to swim in the wide range of water, all we had was a simple shower, so being able to wonder off at this enormous area was more than wonderful. We enjoyed every minute we were in the water, we goofed around, got clean and had fun.
About an hour later we decided it was time to get back to camp. We changed into the different and dry set of clothes and slowly headed back home. O couldn't shut up about her marvelous adventures in the river.
''O, you could write a book about your experience you know?'' I joked while Scarlet and Raven chuckled.
Octavia smirked at us all and replied, ''Maybe I will, then everyone will know about the *Blake river adventures* I mean let's be real, it's totally different when it's dark!'' We bursted out in laughter while Octavia crossed her arms and held her head high, acting as if we had hurt her feelings.
''Oh come on,O. It's just a joke!'' Raven pleaded.
''I'm gonna tell Bellamy about it! He'll at least listen.'' She exclaimed while Scarlet rolled her eyes jokingly while smiling.
''Just be careful, he might kill you before you start talking.'' I added
''Why would he-'' O lowered her head.
''Oh well because it is a bit dangerous to go outside the camp and bathe in an irradiated river.'' I smirked, ''but yeah, whatever you want,O.''
''You're probably right, he'd hang me.'' She laughed.
''I'm always right!'' I smiled widely while lightly moving the hair off of my shoulders intentionally.
Soon enough, we arrived at the gates of our camp and 2 boys opened them and let us through. The girls and I all nodded in appreciation, greeting each person we saw on our way to our tents. It was around 10 pm now.
''How about we all have a sleepover!!!'' Octavia questioned with a wide grin on her face.
''How do you propose we do that?'' Scarlet asked with a look full of confusion.
''We all go in one of our tents and sleep together in it!'' O explained with excitement.
''That's it?'' Scarlet asked, feeling dissatisfied and raising her left eyebrow high. O crossed her arms while Raven and I laughed.
''No! We talk before we go to sleep and we can play many games, as truth of dare!'' Octavia pleaded.
''Truth or dare?'' Scarlet asked.
''Yessss.'' Octavia grinned.
''I don't know wh-'' Scarlet started but O quickly cut her off.
''Come on pleeeaaaseeee.'' O begged while making the famous puppy dog eyes.
''Ugh, fine!'' Scarlet exclaimed while O began jumping cheerfully.
''You made a horrible mistake.'' I laugh while I tell it to Scarlet.
''Hey!'' O yells, jokingly.
''We're meeting in Clarke's tent!'' Raven yelled as well, a light grin followed her yell.
''What?! Why mine??'' I asked desperately.
''Because yours is the biggest one!'' Octavia added while crossing her arms.
''Point taken.'' I laughed.
''Okay so let's just get what we need and meet in Clarke's tent in 10min?'' Raven proposed.
''Sure.'' O and Scarlet said in unison.
''I'll wait there.'' I laughed and slowly we all separated.
About ten minutes later..
BELLAMY POV:
I woke up after a couple of hours from a long nap. I arose at my feet, quickly putting on my favorite T-shirt who's color was a perfect dark blue. I rubbed my eyes and headed out of my tent. I moved the curtains of the tent and found the dark camp almost asleep. My first instinct was to go and check what I have missed, therefore my feet slowly led me towards Clarke's tent.
''Clarke?'' I slightly yelled, checking if she was asleep. She heard my call and quickly exited the tent.
''Bell? You're supposed to be resting!'' She furiously but kindly told me with worry in her eyes.
''I'm fine, I had a huge nap!'' I justified myself.
''Okay. I believe you, what's up?'' She asked, lifting her head high and meeting my gaze.
''Um, what did I miss?'' I asked while awkwardly bringing my hand behind my neck.
''Noothing-'' She replied while twirling her beautiful golden hair.
''Clarke?--'' I asked while prolonging the 'ark' part of her name.
''Nothing Bell! Listen. Octavia,Scarlet and Raven will arrive at any second sooooo-''
''So I should go, I get it.'' I lowered my head down while lightly smirking at her.
''Um, well it's a girl sleepover..'' She told me.
''Ouch. Good luck, it's O's first sleepover!'' I chuckled.
''Ah, noted. Thanks.'' She grinned.
''Good night, Princess.'' I told her, giving her one last smile before heading off back to my tent.
''Good night, Bell.'' She replied with a shy smile while blushing.
OCTAVIA POV:
I separated all of my sleepover essentials and slowly headed off to pick up Raven and Scarlet so we'd all go together towards Clarke's tent. I tied my hair up in a tight ponytail and watched as Raven finally exited her tent.
''You done?'' I laughed.
''Yeah. Let's goo!'' She told with excitement. Scarlet chuckled and we all walked off.
Just as we were approaching Clarke's tent, I saw Bellamy parting away from her with a smile on his face. I stopped in my tracks and processed what I just saw. I turned to face Scarlet and Raven,
''Did you see that?'' I asked, pointing my fingers towards Bellamy who was walking off to his tent.
''Nothing new, O.'' Scarlet exclaimed while Raven stayed silent with her head lowered down.
''What do you mean nothing new?!?'' I placed my hands on both Scarlet's shoulders, forcing her to tell me the gossip.
''You should've been there when Bellamy almost died! Clarke was literally chocking on her own tears!'' Scarlet told with her expression calm.
''Hmm, I don't know whether to be happy or angry towards them both.'' I thought out loud.
''You think they're together?'' Raven finally spoke.
''Must be!'' I yelled out to her while her head lowered again, faking a smile. What's up with Rav?
''I don't think so.'' Scarlet said.
''Even if they shared some kind of a connection, which I don't doubt at all. I don't think they'd admit it, towards each other or to anyone else.'' Scarlet exclaimed again.
We got in front of Clarke's tent and bursted in as a couple of 5 year old girls, having our pillows and warm blankets with us. Clarke greeted us with a smile and we all settled down around a small but still bigger than ours cozy area.
