I don't own the Mortal Instruments, just the plot.
Chapter 1: Hidden
"Clary! First day of school! Don't be late!" My mom was always reminding me to not be late to school. I got up and threw on a pair of black yoga pants and a You Me at Six band tee. I threw on my black Chucks and rolled out the door. I walked to school. Another year of trying to blend in, I thought. When I arrived, school had just opened for the year. Thankfully, nobody looked at me. I walked to my home room and sat down. A girl with long, black hair and smile walked up to me and said,
"Is this seat taken?"I shook my head no and she sat down.
"My name is Isabelle Lightwood, but you can call me Izzy. Me and my brothers just moved here. What's your name?" I was shocked by the fact that a person was talking to me.
"It's Clary." Point blank. No other information. She didn't seem to appreciate it.
"It's Clary? That's all I get? Come on girl, tell me about you! You know what? I'll come over to your today! I'll pick you up after school!" Just then, our teacher, Mrs. Gray, walked in and assigned our seats. Izzy and I were sitting together in the front row! There goes my plan for being hidden, I think to rest of the day went on uneventfully. All my teachers were pretty nice. My English teacher, Mr. Blackthorn, made me stand up and introduce myself in front of a class that included Aline Penhallow, Jace's girlfriend.
"Uh...my name's Clary. I moved here from Phoenix, Arizona last week." Thankfully, Mr. Blackthorn didn't make me talk more than that. He pointed out my seat, in the back of the classroom. On my way, Aline stuck out a heeled foot and I tripped. My chin smacked the edge of a desk as I was falling to floor.
"Oops. Sorry!" Aline flashed me a sickeningly sweet, innocent smile. I nodded and walked back to my desk, ignoring the shooting pain whenever I moved my jaw. Brooklyn is so fun, I thought sarcastically.
