Ark High

Chapter 13

Bellamy

I look at Clarke and put on my thinking face. Hmmm. What to ask what to ask.

She looks at me and smiles. Well more like smirks. "Troubles?"

I hesitate, then smirk at her. "No." Now we are both chuckling. I have never felt this way about someone but I don't know if she feels the same way. And we just net this morning.

"What if we play 20 questions?" She asks caustically.

I think about it for a second. Well, I would learn a lot about her. Immediately I answer with a smile "Yes!"

"Do you want to go first or shall I?" I ask putting my hand on my chest and flirtatiously looking at Clarke.

She does not even think about it for a second. "Why don't we take turns? Then it would be more fun and go by really quickly!"

"That is a really good idea Clarke." I pause and take a breath then continue "You know what I feel like now?" I ask with a huge smile growing on my face.

"What?" She asks slowly.

"I feel like a little kid again. Ya know? I don't know maybe it is just me or not I don't know I-"

"Woah there, we got a babbler everybody!" Clarke says intervening me. Now she is laughing so hard and a bunch of people are looking at us now.

The thing about Clarke is she does not embarrass me, but when Octavia did the same thing I felt like I was going to die. Clarke just makes me feel I don't know..... Different?

Clarke 

"What if we play 20 questions?" I ask plastering a smile on my face to hide my excitement. I don't want him to think I am weird. But then I take a moment to think. Crap.

I said 'why don't we play 20 questions?' With the most popular kid in my school.I'm such an idiot! He is probably just going to walk away and never talk to me again. Ugh.

"Yes!" He answers with a smile. "Okay, will you go first or shall I?"

Why don't we take turns? Then it would be more fun and go by really quickly!" I say with excitement in my voice.

"That is a really good idea Clarke." Is what breaks me out of my argument with myself. Huh? "You know what I feel like now?" He asks with a smile.

Oh no, here it comes. The snarky remark. The nickname he will spread around school. Th-. Stop it Clarke and answer his question! "What?" I say slowly.

He does not even take a second to answer me, as soon as I stop talking he starts. "I feel like a little kid again. Ya know? I don't know maybe it is just me or not I don't know I-"

"Woah there, we got a babbler everybody!" I say projecting my voice to the other tables around us. Now I have a full on grin on my face spreading even more. At first a couple people look at us and turn away with a smile on their faces.

I see Bellamy trying to not meet my eyes, and if I am seeing right, I see a rosy look to his cheeks. He is blushing? I made Bellamy Blake blush?

"Haha okay." He says plainly, clearly trying to hid both the blush and the smile growing on his face. He is now looking at me and smiles, his eyes looked tired and sad when we walked in here, but now they seemed to have woken up.

"So Princess-"

He starts but I cut him off with "Woah, what makes you think you can give me a nickname?" I try my best to sound mad, and he seems to have bought it.
