Clarke's POV

Clarke gazed at the creek, the sound of running water was like music to her ears. For months now, she had been living on the ground and yet she never had the time to truly appreciate its beauty. Instead, she had only focused on surviving in her new home, the place she used to dream about long ago.

Suddenly, she snapped out of her daze to catch the water container flying directly towards her head.

"Are you going to stand there all day, princess?"

Clarke looked down and gave Bellamy Blake an annoyed glare. He was standing at the water's edge, with a sly smile on his face.

"You havn't fooled me Bellamy, I know you asked me to join you for a reason," Clarke said, as she climbed down the rocks with her container.

It had been a struggle to build up a strong friendship with Bellamy since landing on the ground. But somehow, over a few weeks, he had become a source of comfort she didn't know she needed. After finally finding a friend that truly understood her, Clarke had found herself needing to keep her distance. She had done it for almost 2 months now, only discussing important camp issues when needed. Like hell was she going to let Bellamy make the hard decisions alone.

When Bellamy had asked her an hour ago to join him on this trip, she wanted to refuse, but something deep inside her wouldn't let her.

"You've been avoiding me," Bellamy said with a more serious tone.

Clarke's heart rate began to race as images of a drunken night in a tent flew through her mind.

"In case you havn't noticed, I've been busy keeping us alive. The world doesn't revolve around you, you know," she replied jokingly, making Bellamy's eyes roll.

"You need to have more fun."

At the look of judgement on Clarke's face, he went on.

"You shouldn't regret that night," he paused again, before adding mischievously; "I know I dont."

Clarke couldn't stop the little smile that crept on her face. Before she could argue, Bellamy took off his shirt and dived into the water.

"Are you crazy? Remember what happened to Octavia?"

"Jeez live a little Clarke. This is a pretty small creek, the water is clear as day, too. Don't you want a break from all those kids back there?"

Clarke considered his words and took her clothes off, leaving only her bra and underwear. She gave Bellamy an annoyed stare as he grinned, knowing that he had won both arguments today. Slowly, she lowered her whole body underwater and closed her eyes, savouring the satisfaction. After a few minutes of rubbing the dirt off her body, she suggested to Bellamy that they should head back, trying not to sound too disappointed.

"Come on, just a few more minutes," Bellamy whined, giving her a splash.

Clarke instantly splashed him back, with double the force.

"Just one," she said, with a playful look in her eye.
