Chapter 1

Clary's POV

My name is Clary. Yesterday was my 16th birthday which meant I was finally able to accept my combination martial arts/dancing/singing scholarship to the best boarding school in the United States, Alicante Special Arts Academy. Because my birthday is sort of in the middle of the school year, February 4th, I will be transferring into ASAA to start the second semester.

I am short, about 5 feet 2 inches and from all of the dancing and martial arts training I do, my body is toned and fit. I have a fair complexion with flaming red and curly hair, and striking green eyes. As I'm currently looking at myself in the limo's pull down makeup mirror, I study my face. I know I'm not ugly, but I know I'm not beautiful. I look at my eyes and my nose and my mouth. There is a light dusting of freckles across my nose, but my skin is blemish free looking as if it were made of porcelain. I barely wear any makeup, and that means only some lip gloss and mascara. My friend back in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Magnus said people would notice me more if I wore at least a little makeup to make my face grab other's attention, but I never thought much about it and brushed it off every time he brought it up, and for that my over protective friend Simon was thankful. I'm starting to tear up, I am really going to miss my best friends Magnus and Simon, but I blink my eyes to prevent the tears from spilling over. I can't go to ASAA the first day looking as if I was crying because I was scared to come. No. I am going to keep my head up, and strut into the school as Magnus told me to do.

A friendly voice brings me out of my thoughts as it says, "We are about 5 minutes away from the academy!" Thank goodness I think! I have been riding in this limo for what seems like forever, and before I got into the limo I had to ride a 12 hour flight from Myrtle Beach to Sacramento. So let's just say I just might hop out of the car once we stop just to kiss the ground and thank all that is holy for allowing me to walk on solid ground again!

Oh….. Freak. The nerves are settling in now. In less than 4 minutes now, I am going to be arriving at the top boarding school in the United Stated starting fresh with no friends other than my brother Jon, short for Jonathan Christopher Fray. Now my mood starts to lighten up. I can't wait until I see my best and favoritest boy and brother in the world. I haven't seen Jon in about 6 months. I was devastated when he left South Carolina to go to a boarding school in California, leaving me without a protective and trustworthy brother at home. Magnus and Simon were the only ones who pulled me out of my slump when he left. Jon looks completely different from me, even though we have the same mom and supposedly dad. I say supposedly because I have never seen the man. But Jon, unlike me, has tan skin with pin straight hair so blonde that it is almost white, and instead of having the piercing green eyes that I have, he has dark chocolate brown eyes. Even though that combination sounds weird together, most girls including myself would say that Jon is very handsome. All kinds of girls ranging from the snobby sluts to the book nerds would stare when he walked through, but I on the other hand was completely a different story. I didn't like too much attention, so I stayed in the background mostly in school.

The voice comes again, "We are here!" OMG! My mind is racing. The limo driver opens the door and I look up to be met with the gigantic building in front of me, that I can't believe this is the school I'll be attending for the next 3 years. We are at the front of the school where I can see class buildings and dorm room buildings and a huge courtyard filled with students. I step out and fix my clothes and smooth out the wrinkles. Thanks to Magnus, my fashion sense has gotten 1000 times better than it was freshman year. Currently I am wearing silver leggings, a green top that matches my eyes that has a plunging neckline, and green high tops. It is a simple outfit today seeming as I didn't want to come into the school looking like a slut and also not as nun. So my outfit is in between, not to revealing, but showing off my figure a little.

I didn't notice I was staring at the school for long until a voice I know too well bring me out of my reverie, "YO CLARE BEAR! CLOSE YOUR MOUTH IT MIGHT CATCH FLIES!" My head snaps towards the voice and I start running full speed towards my brother not even bothering to stop when I meet him, I just jump and we both topple to the ground with my on top of him.

"JON! I missed you so much!" I kiss him on his cheek and hug his neck while we are still lying on the ground. He seems to be recuperating himself from the tackle I just gave him. While blinking his eyes and sitting up, he wraps his arms around my too and says, "Clare I missed you so much too." We sit on the ground like that for a while. Me sitting in his lap with my arms around his neck and my face in his neck with my eyes closed, and him with his arms around me pulling me against him tightly with his eyes closed as if he were to let go, I would just disappear. We are sitting like that for a while until we are snapped out of it by a cough.

I look up and see a group of kids standing up in front of us, and a few kids in the courtyard watching us also. I get up, straighten up my shirt, and help Jon up also. I try to get out of the awkwardness by saying, "Umm, Hi." Jon says, "Guys this is my sister Clary." There are a chorus of heys and Jon goes on to say, "That's Alec Isabelle Jace Maia Seb Kaelie and Aline," while gesturing to each person." I am a little shy, so I just smile and wave to everyone.

Jace and Sebastian I think are doing what I consider undressing me with their eyes, and making me a little uncomfortable. I shift behind Jon little bit while he glares at the both of them. Isabelle speaks up and says, "Awkwaarrdd! Ok, since you are new, you need to get your room key, schedule, and your luggage is already in your room thanks to the limo driver. Come on me and Maia will take you, Kaelie... Aline, I don't care what you sluts do," and she takes my hand and starts walking towards one of the buildings with Maia following. I am staring are her incredulously. How could she just disrespect her other two friends like that, but they didn't seem surprised at her rudeness to them, but what I didn't understand was why she was being so nice to me. Seeming as though she read my mind, Isabelle looks at me and says, "I'm not a bitch all the time. Those two aren't our friends; they are just a couple of Jace Jon and Seb's groupies. The blonde, Kaelie, is Jace's flavor of the week, and the dark haired Asian looking girl is Seb's." I understand now so I say," Ohhh ok, I understand now," and I smile. Now Maia speaks up and says, "Yea, you seem cool, so I am thinking we will all get along great. And seeming as thought me and Isabelle were told that we would be getting a new roommate because we were the only two in our dorm apartment when it is a three bedroom, you just might be that new roomie! I hope so this is exciting!" I say, "Oh I hope I am rooming with yal too, so I don't go in blind! It also helps that you are Jon's friends."

We walk into the building and the inside is just as amazing as the outside! We walk up to the desk and Isabelle tells the lady that I'm new and I need my room key and schedule. The lady asks, "Clarissa Fray?" I nod and grab my things saying thanks, I don't even get to look at my stuff when Isabelle and Maia snatch them and start squealing which I guess confirms their suspicions of me being their new roommate. I smile and they start talking. Maia says, "OMG! On top of you being our new roomie, you also have the same classes as all of us! We all including the guys applied for the same classes so that we could be together, and you just happened to have the same! Your schedule is Self Defense, Dance, Vocals, and Gym. This couldn't get any better! Alright let's get to the room!"

We walk out the building and it's about 10 minutes when we walk up to an apartment looking building which I am assuming is where all the dorms are. We walk up and unlock the door and walk into the dorm. It is decorated with streamers and I see food and balloons and "SURPRISE!" I jump 10 feet and scream almost having a heart attack because standing there with huge grins on their faces are the same group of kids from earlier! Isabelle and Maia must have told them I was their new roommate, unless they were acting all along, and new I was the roommate before I even got to the academy. I laugh and say, "Wow! This is great; I am already in love this place! I'll be right back, will someone point me to the nearest bathroom because from being in that limo for 3 hours, I really need to go!" Isabelle point to a hallway and says, "Go down the hallway and is the 2nd door on the right." I thank her and run to the bathroom!

Once I'm done with my business I come out of the bathroom without looking and fall on top of something. The something that I see now is a person lets out a "UH," as if I punched him in the gut and knocked the air out of him. I apologize profusely still lying on top of him, not thinking once of getting up first. The person happens to be Jace, and he is smirking at me laughing. I don't notice until now that I am straddling him, with my boobs sort of hanging out of m plunging neck shirt, with our faces very close together. I look into his eyes and they capture me. They are like liquid pools of gold and I just want to fall into them. He is staring back at me, and we both go rigid when we hear the protective angry brother voice that I missed so much, but don't think I miss now practically scream, "JACE! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO CLARY?!"
