Hey guys dont get mad that i'm posting another story please! this was beta with clacelover2003... she has all the links and pictures to this story. you need to check it out if you want a good visual for this story. i tried to get a lot of the facts correct about this story so anything thats not the same as in the US is probably true in
Clary POV
I wake up coughing as I feel water drip down my face in little droplets. I look over to my bedside and notice my clock is black. Again. Must have been another power outage.
That's very common for the house I live in. It's a dark blue and is two stories tall. It has been for closure ever since we bought it for 20,000 eruos. The cheapest house you could ever my ever get in Ireland.
I look over towards the door and notice my best friend Simon. We have been friends ever since he tried to look at my amazing spider comic book in kindergarten.
I smacked him up the head.
Ever since then no one has been able to separate us. We are two peas in a pod. We never have fights except when he throws water on my head. "Simon! I know that my hair is sensitive to water!"
He looks at me with a some what half apologetic and half amused expression. "I know Clare but school is going to start in like- 20 minutes and you know that if you are late one more time they will suspend you. You already have like a thousand detentions. Which by the way you never go to."
I smile up at him and say, "What's the point of going? You stare at the wall for an 2 hours and then you walk home. Not really worth it if you ask me and by the way I only have like 26 detention slips which are not all by being late to school may I remind you."
Simon looks at me with a goofy smile playing at the edge of his lips. "Your right out of those 26 times you ended up either not doing your homework or you talk back to the teachers to state your opinion on what they are teaching us is wrong."
"first of all I do, do my homework the only times I don't is when… low and behold.. what they taught us was wrong! Which just happens to be a majority of the time." I finish my little speech and realize I only have like 15 minutes too get ready.
I squeal and run past Simon and into my bathroom to brush my hair and teeth. I never really do anything to mess with my appearance. When I think about I never really had a reason to. People, mostly guys don't really like me or find me appealing.
Once I finish I look in the mirror and see a girl staring back at me. She has curly dark copper red hair, almost like blood. She also has dark green eyes that can also be described as light. And if the lights hit it just right they links and look bright blue. But they are naturally green. They have many different shades in them with little freckles doting the outside of the irises.
She is wearing a school uniform, the skirt is black and knee length with a little added flow so she could twirl if she wanted to. Her shirt is a red and has a black shawl on for the cold and rainy weather outside.
It is mostly always raining in Ireland but when we do get the nice sunny days it is the best time to surf. The waves hit just high enough for you to be able stay up and get the chance to get some cool flips in.
"come on Clare I really rather not haft to get detention for trying to make you not later." Simon has the most thick accent out of all the Ireland people I talk to. Sometimes its really funny because when he tries to say something it sounds like he said something else and he always gets pissed when I make fun of him for it.
"I'm coming Si I just need to grab my school bag and put on my red high tops." I say before we all but run out of my house and down into his beat up van.
We arrive at the school just as the warning bell rings. We walk to our lockers that just happen to be next to each other. I grab my books and turn to Simon just as he finishes with his stuff. "I gotta get to class Clare but I'll see you at lunch." With that said he turns and stalks off toward the right end hallway.
I close my locker with a start and head down the opposite hallway that Simon went. At the end of the hallway the set of stairs that lead to the 2nd floor that was blocked off for some reason.
Great.
I needed to go up those stairs to get to my classroom. Damn it. I look over and notice that the elevator that is sketchy as hell is available. I walk over to it and press the up button and just as I hear the ding I feel a slimy liquid drench my whole body.
I use my hands to wipe the substance out of my eyes before turning towards the sound of laughter coming from behind me. Low and behold it's the school bad boy Cameron Ashdown. He only likes to pick on me for some un known reason and I am really starting too get annoyed.
It wasn't until I stopped looking at him that I noticed the flashes of cellphones taking pictures of me. I can handle one person bullying me but the whole school is too much to bare. I feel the moisture of tears form in the corner of my eyes before they slip down my thin, white freckled cheeks.
I push past the crowd of students while they take videos and pics of me. I could hear my name being called and I think it was Simon but I don't care right now as I just keep heading to the front doors.
When I reach the doors I push them open and run across the parking lot and down thee streets of Dublin until I am standing and panting in front of my house. I grab the kay that's hidden under the flower pot next to the door and stick it in the key slot until I hear the familiar click of the door being unlocked.
I push it open and slam it before I lock it and run upstairs to my bedroom. I flop down on my bed and cry. I cry about how crappy my life is at school. I cry about my brother Jonathon leaving for college. I just cry until I feel numb of all the pain and sorrow.
I lift my head and reposition it so I am looking at my desk. I stare at the blank screen of my laptop and decide that now is a good time to write.
I log on to Microsoft word and write all my feelings out and into a new poem. When that doesn't seem to calm my nerves I go onto google and search for a new way to write my feelings out.
The first thing that pops up is fanfiction. Huh. I have heard of it but I never really tried writing on there before. Afraid of what people would think of my poetry and ideas. I hesitantly click on the tab and it opens up to about trillions of stories.
I can't believe how many people write on here. I click on the sign up button and put in 'thatgirlthatnobodyunderstands' and then I'm a member. Just like that. I click on the document page and go into my files before I post it on the site.
I don't haft to wait long for reviews and comments on my story. I have my mouse hovering over the open the review tab as I bite nervously at my lower lip. I finally just click the damn thing and am surprised at how many nice things people had to say.
But as I scroll down one in particular catches my eye. It says, "this is the most true and honest thing on here. I love it. You should post more of your stuff I would be happy to read them and help you write some more." And I look at the pen name and see that the person is called 'thatboythatnobodyunderstands' I feel a smile tug at the corner of my lips as the events of the day wash away.
I click on his pm box and reply before I shut down my computer and fall into a peaceful slumber.
Jace POV
I walk into the shadowhunter high and immediately all the girls stop and stare at me. I don't really like all the attention it gets annoying.
As I walk down the hall my 'best friend' Sebastian comes up to me. Probably to talk about more girls. "Dude there's this girl and she's hot. Like smoking hot." And my statement is proved. "Cool dude."
He looks at me and says, "she has a twin. One for me and one for you." I am going to kill him. I swear to god. Instead if saying that though I said, "I am busy man." "Your always busy dude! You never have fun anymore. When are you going to live a little?"
"I am just not in the same way as you. So just fuck off Sebastian" I turn around and begin to walk away when I hear the loudest squeal that could be heard all the way in Ireland. "OMG! Jace guess what?!" cue internal eye role.
"let me guess, a new pair of shoes just came out. No no no, your going to go to a club in town?" she glares at me before she answers, "No, I was watching this bad and the lead singer is HOT!" should have known that izzy would want to have girl talk at school of all places.
"Cool iz, you can tell me more about it when we get home and we don't need to get to class. Okay." I start to walk away again and to my class for the day. Luckily the day goes by fast and soon I am entering my silver Chrysler and speed off towards the lightwoods mansion.
When I get there I head straight to the basement and into my room that's on the left of the lounge area. When I enter my room I take off all my clothes and keep my boxers on before going to my desk chair that's set up in front of my computer.
I turn it on and I open my fanfiction tab, and I start reading what people decided to write about today. I love how people can come on here to be themselves without being judged.
Before I know it I have finished 61 chapters of a new story. I look over at my clock and notice that it is already 3am in the morning. Just as I am about to shut it down for the night I notice a new story was posted by someone named 'thatgirlthatnobodyunderstands'. I finish reading her story but it is more like a poem.
I really liked how real it was.
I decided to leave a review for once. I said ' that this is the most true and honest thing on here. I love it. You should post more of your stuff i would be happy to read them and help you write some more."
Once I finish I shut down my computer and lie down on my bed and go to sleep. Dreaming about the words written by thatgirlthatnobodyunderstands.
