Clary POV

I've been going to summer camp since I was seven and I still go today, and I'm sixteen. Camp was my paradise, my vacation from home. It was super fun and I loved it. Although there was one catch, there were no boys in the camp because it was an all-girl camp, Camp Omega. It was fine with me; boys were overrated anyway…. I think.

I was making my way down my front steps with my bags and headphones on my head. My music was loud and I bobbed my head along. Jocelyn, my mother, opened the back and I quickly went down path and put my bags in the back. I pushed my headphones down, so it lay around my neck. She closed the door with a thump and sighed in happiness. She beamed a smile at me, a smile that would've caught any man's attention and said, "You ready to go?"

I nodded my head with a smile. My mother was always beautiful, I was just her shadow. Where my mother was tall and looked like a Barbie doll, I was short and was a Raggedy Anne Doll. People always said that I looked like her but I never saw it. But I didn't mind it anymore.

I walked to the passenger seat, while my mom went to the driver seat. I set my headphones back where they were and drew my legs up. The car started and I watched as my neighborhood disappeared, drive some miles, and you start seeing trees as tall as skyscrapers. I felt a tap on my arm and I turned my head. I took off my headphones and looked at my mom. "Are you happy that you get to see Isabelle, again?" she asked.

Isabelle was my best friend; we met on my second year for summer camp. We bonded together well and we became best friends fast. She was always my cabin mate and knew all the rights and wrongs about fashion.

"Of course, I am," I told my mother and stared in front. We were almost to the camp. I could feel my heartbeat racing and my energy singing in my blood. She pulled over to the side, near the entrance. I turned my head and frowned.

I have been going to Camp Omega all my life and there were never any other camps near till now; there was a camp right across my camp. On the sign, blue words were painted on saying 'Camp Alpha'.

"What's going on?" I asked to no one in particular. My mom looked over and her brows went up. "Hmm, another camp."

I got out of the car and examined the new camp. I shook my head and went to the back to get my stuff.

"Well, have fun at camp, Clary!" my mother exclaimed and I hugged her. I always savored my mother's hugs; they were always warm and welcoming to everyone, even strangers. "I'll see you when camp's over, Mom." She let go and smiled. She walked back to the driver's seat and made a U turn; waving at me when she drove by.

I picked up my bags, which were hard. I was struggling with them; I had a small suitcase and two carry-on bags, and brought my guitar. I dropped the guitar case and groaned in frustration.

"Hey, need some help?" a voice yelled from the other side. I looked up and saw a boy. A boy that was all golden. His hair looked golden and even his eyes; somewhat his skin glowed and golden sheen which seemed impossible. I was so distracted at looking at him that I stuttered over my words. He gave a smirk and shook his head. "I know I'm hot but right now I'm trying to be a gentleman," he said and I snapped out of my reverie and mentally groaned.

Guy had a big ego, that's nice, I thought sarcastically. I scowled at him but he only winked at me. I was going to say something back to him when, "CLARY!"

I turned to see Isabelle in a white summer dress and flats running to me. I gave a wide smile, "Isabelle."

I dropped the rest of my bags and hugged her when she crashed into me. She was a lot taller than me, so she had to bend a bit but overall, it was a friendly hug. "Oh my Angel, I was super excited to see you, I couldn't stop talking about it with my mom. I thought she was going to burst!" she said in one breath and I gave a laugh. I turned to look back at the boy and saw that he was giving a guy hug with someone, which was Alec.

"What is Alec doing here?" I asked Isabelle and she scoffed.

"He signed up to the new camp, which you see is right across from ours, with his friend, Jace," she indicated to the golden boy. I watched them as they laughed and talked to each other regularly. The boy, Jace, spotted me looking at them and gave another wink.

"Well, I can tell that he has an ego and is arrogant," I muttered and she gasped.

"Thank you! You have to be the first girl that has ever said that, besides me. Every girl always drools over him and it's super annoying," she said and eyed the boys.

"It's like your best friends with him or something," I commented and gave her a look. She rolled her eyes, "He's my neighbor. He just moved some months ago but when he first got there, he was a chick magnet or whatever guys call them," Isabelle said lazily and helped me with my bags. "Now, c'mon," we walked through the entrance when a voice called back to me. "If you need any help with anything, Red, I hope it's in bed!"

I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at Jace. He was giving a grin that would've made any girl swoon over. I put my chin up stubbornly and said to him, "I don't know. I don't think your head would fit in bed if you even try." He frowned and I gave a victory grin and bounced back with Isabelle who was laughing. "Nice," was all she could say.

We ran up the steps to our cabin that we always stayed in. It was made for two people; two bed on either side of the cabin, drawers for us, a large mirror, a table, chairs, a small closet, and two lamps. There was even a carving with our names on the doors, stating our property. Isabelle smiled and plopped on her bed, on the right, with a sigh. "It's good to be back."

"Yeah, this place never gets old," I said and put my bags on my bed. Isabelle handed me my other bags and I gave a small thank you to her. I sucked in the air; the smell of the outdoors. Isabelle went over to the mirror and started to fix her hair a bit. "You want to go see the others, now?" she asked and I nodded vigorously. Aline, Helen, Maia, and Camille were our friends also. They were cabin mates every summer like me and Isabelle.

I grabbed hold of Isabelle's hand and half dragged her to the other's cabin. We ran and laughed on the way; the sun bright and shining beautifully over the camp. When we passed other girls, they would greet us and we would greet them back. So, maybe, Isabelle and I are kind of top ranked here but we treated everyone fairly.

We reached the cabin and knocked. It was Maia who opened the door and shrieked in happiness and grabbed the both of us into a hug. "Oh my God, Isabelle, love the dress and Clary, you look so different than last time," she commented and I gave her a questioned look. She dragged us in. Aline and Helen was holding hands when they saw us and ran for a hug. Aline and Helen was gay but it didn't really bother us. We thought they were adorable together.

"Well, Clary, your hair is longer and a darker red than before and you're a bit taller," Maia continued on her explanation. I scoffed at her and sat on a bed. "Have you seen the new camp across from ours?" I asked them and they nodded.

"Why would they just put a camp right across from ours; and an all boy one, to be exact," Helen said, her blue eyes were in a worrying mood. It was strange that there would be an all boy camp across from ours; there must be a catch to this. "Well, at least we can go see the cute boys," Camille added and Isabelle nodded. "Yeah, all those cute boys," she said dreamily and we laughed at her.

"All girls to the main hall, all girls to the main hall," the speaker went off and I got up. "Let's go," I said to them and we walked to the main hall. Girls were piling in, chatting with friends on the way, it was getting crowded but we managed to make it to the front. On the stage was the head of the camp, Madeleine. She was a bit older than my mom but she still looked young. Her natural whitish colored hair was shining and she had a big smile on her face. "Welcome back everyone and welcome to new comers but as you see there is another camp across from us. An all boy camp," she mentioned to us and there were murmurs about it.

"We will go over to them and greet them but afterwards you are not to have any intercourses with any of the boys or socialize with them and the head of the camp for them has advised them the same thing. If I catch you doing so, there will be punishments. You don't want that; this is supposed to be a fun summer for you!"

It sounded fair enough to me but there was a pouty face on Isabelle. I nudged her in the ribs and gave me a look that I just smiled back at her. "We'll go visit at dawn but if you know tradition in this place, Morning Jam is going to start and if you want to participate, you better hurry to stage!" she exclaimed and we cheered. Morning Jam was my favorite thing about camp. Anyone can go on the stage near the lake and perform whatever they want. "C'mon!" I yelled to Isabelle and dragged her back to our cabin. I grabbed my guitar case and propped it open to reveal my black guitar.

"So, wrote any songs lately?" I heard Isabelle ask behind me. I hid a shy smile. I kept a leather bound journal with me that had my songs in them. "Maybe," I squeaked.

"Well, let me see it," Isabelle probed on me and I rolled my eyes and argued against her, "It's not really done, yet."

"I don't care, just let me see," she said and I handed her the journal. She scanned it and squealed, "This is good."

"Thanks," I said and she gave back the book. I got up with the guitar. We went to the stage near the lake, Lake Lyn. It glittered the sun's reflection in it, like a mirror. I ran up the stairs.

"Clary," Madeleine exclaimed when she saw me and hugged me. She did the same thing with Isabelle. She walked out on the stage with a microphone in her hand. The rest of the girls were seated on pillows on the ground. "Who's ready?" she asked and they screamed with excitement, "Well, here's our very own Clary!" Everyone clapped and I went on stage. I started to strum the strings, making it a serene song, for now.

Ohh ohh

Last years old news

I'm breaking out my six string

And playing from my heart

It's not deja vu

Cause it's another summer

That's how this chapter starts

I let the last word trail on my lips. I put my guitar down and the other girls got a guitar that was plugged in the amp played. I grabbed the microphone and jumped off the stage, making the girls gasp, thinking I was going to fall.

I'm gonna run so fast 'til I can't breathe

Come along and follow me

Let's make some noise we never did before

Isabelle joined me and grabbed some girls' hands. We trailed them with us.

It's a brand new day

(Don't you see me)

Changing on my way

(So completely)

This time I'm gonna sing and you're gonna hear it

This time I'm gonna show you that I got the spirit

It's a brand new day

And I'm feelin' good

And I'm feelin' good

I danced along with my song, I couldn't help it; this was summer for crying out loud!

So drama free (so drama free)

I'm all about the music

I just wanna sing

Watch me live out my dreams

I'm gonna rock that stage and give my everything

I showed them the docks, and the climbing wall. I was leading them everywhere.

'm gonna dance until my feet can't move

Come along get in the groove

Let's shine so bright more than we did before

It's a brand new day

(Don't you see me)

Changing on my way

(So completely)

This time I'm gonna sing and you're gonna hear it

This time I'm gonna show you that I got the spirit

It's a brand new day

And I'm feelin' good!

We went to the camp fire place, through the trees, and the entrance.

(What you gonna do? What you gonna do?)

I'm gonna laugh through the summer with you

(Who you gonna be? Who you gonna be?)

You'll just have to watch me carefully

(Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?)

Anywhere my heart wants me to go

I'm gonna sing I'm gonna dance

I'm gonna ride I'm gonna play

I'm gonna try my game in everything

I stopped at the entrance and turned around to look at them with a smile.

Cause It's a brand new day

(Don't you see me)

Changing on my way

(So completely)

This time I'm gonna sing and you're gonna hear it

This time I'm gonna show you that I got the spirit

It's a brand new day

Isabelle clutched me to her side.

It's a brand new day

(It's a brand new day)

Changing on my way

(Changing on my way)

This time I'm gonna sing and you're gonna hear it (gonna hear it)

This time I'm gonna show you that I got the spirit (got the spirit)

It's a brand new day

(It's a brand new day)

It's a brand new day

And I'm feelin' good

Feelin' good

And I'm feelin' good

Everyone was cheering but not just the girls, I turned around to see the boys were too. In the lead was him, Jace. He was smiling, impressed with me.

"I didn't know you had a big voice in that small body of yours, Red," he yelled across from us. I gave him a scowl. Madeleine had managed to get her way passed the crowd of girls. She sighed when she reached us. "Hello boys," she greeted them, "Were you coming now? It's a bit early for that."

"We thought that they should meet the girls sooner than later," a man stepped in front. He had blue eyes hidden behind glasses and brown hair. I knew who he was, "Luke."

"Hey Clary, it's good to see you again," he said to me and I looked at him in disbelief. He was the head of the boys' camp?

"Well, we were just starting our Morning Jam, care to join us?" she asked them and the boys murmured.

"We would love to join you," Luke answered for them and turned around to talk to them.

"How do you know him?" Aline and the others came up.

"He's a friend of my mom's. I didn't know he was the head of their camp," I muttered. Luke was like family but there was obviously something between my mother and him that they wouldn't admit to each other. "Well, it's settled girls, let's continue on," Madeleine announced and we made our way back to the stage.

"Clary's a pretty name," I jumped and turned to see Jace behind me.

"What do you want?" I sneered to him. He fell in step beside me. My friends gave an uneasy look.

"Didn't know you had it in you," he avoided my question. He was really close to me that our shoulders and arms were touching; he had the space to move.

"Well, you know now, don't you," I said to him. I was walking to the steps to the stage to get my guitar; the others went to sit down. He grabbed my arm and turned me around.

"I'm not the enemy,

you know," he said in a low voice, I could hear the hint of seduction in it and yanked my arm from his grip. "I never said that you were," I snarled.

"I just want to get on your good side," he said and I scoffed, then he leaned in so his lips were near my ear. "So I can take you to my bed and have a little fun."

I gasped while he pulled back and laughed at my reaction. "I am never going to sleep with you!" I yelled at him and pushed him away. He was caught in surprised and trip over a stray tree root, he plunged into the lake with a huge splash which the water got on me too. His head popped up and he shook his head and swam over to land. He dragged himself out. He stared at me in disbelief.

"I'm going to get you back for this, you know."

"What if you don't?"

"Of course I will, don't doubt me, Red."

"Then I'll get back at you later on," I declared and he gave a smirk.

"I think you just started a camp war, Red."

"Well, let the better camp win."

"I'll see you later," he said and started to walk away but then stopped, "If I were you, you'd watch your back."

I let his warning set into me while I watched him walked away again.

What did I just do? I asked my mind. You just started a camp war, idiot.

Whenever this war was going to start, when Madeleine found it, it would not be good.

Hello! So I decided to make a new story! I had this idea for some time now and i wasn't going to write it till i was finished with my other stories, but it just kept calling to me 'Write me, write me!' So this story was made.
