Clary woke up screaming again. Her nightmares were back. There was blood everywhere, broken glass, her own screaming echoing in the back of her mind. Her brother Sebastian came rushing in, trying to calm her down. He also thought her nightmares were gone; they've been gone for months, but now they were back. He pulled Clary close to him and gently rocked her. "Shhh, its just a nightmare. It's ok. He's not here, he can't hurt you."
"It was so real this time." She sobbed into his pajama shirt.
"I know, but it's ok. He's gone now, it'll be ok.
It will never be ok.
Clary woke up late in the afternoon. She glanced over at her alarm clock and saw that it was noon. She groaned and got out of bed. Since it was a Sunday and she wasn't going anywhere where people would see her, she decided on wearing a pair of red short-shorts, a black tank top, and blue soccer socks. Her red hair was usually so easy to brush, but she gave up and put it up in a messy bun. She put on some eyeliner to highlight her green eyes and grabbed her iPod. Clary shuffled through her song and finally settled with listening to 'Burn it Down' by Linkin Park. She opened the French double doors to the kitchen and gravitated towards the fridge. Being the picky person she is, she couldn't decide what she wanted to eat. So she just closed the door and turned around. She let out a small scream as she saw the entire senior football team staring at her with wide eyes and open mouths.
She looked around at each of them and didn't see Sebastian anywhere. What she did see were two beautiful golden eyes looking right at her. Instead of a wide-open mouth, the corners of his mouth were turned into a small, amused smile. He shook his golden hair out of the way of his face, and Clary could feel her heart beat faster. "Is it my birthday already?" She asked the crowd jokingly earning a laugh from all of them. "You wish it was your birthday." Said a voice behind her that made her jump. "Damn it Seb, don't scare me like that." She swatted her bothers arm lightly and took the bag of chips he was holding. "Who are all these people?"
Her brother rolled his eyes at her. "Honestly, it's like you don't pay attention to me. This is the football team, remember I'm Capitan. I told you yesterday.
"You didn't tell me shit about this, thanks bro."
"Oh guys did I tell you, this is my little sister Clary."
"You have a sister?" Said a voice in the sea of boys
"You didn't tell them you have a sister?" Clary said in disbelief
"I told Jace." Seb responded, putting his hand up in surrender.
"And who might Jace be?"
"That would be me." Golden boy said stepping out of the crowd. His arms were crossed over his chest and you could see his perfectly toned arm muscles. Their eyes met and the fireworks burst.
"Guys, this is Clary. She may be small-" "Watch it." "But she is sure as hell stronger than any of you."
A voice spoke up of the crowed of still wide-eyed football players. "I doubt it. I'd like to see her arm wrestle one of us and win."
"NATE WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU CHALLENG HER?!" Sebastian screamed at the person who belonged to the voice.
A gleeful smile spread across Clary's face. "Whoever said that, I accept your challenge. Let's go. Right now." Clary sat down at the table and stared at the tall figure that pulled up a chair across from her. His hair covering most of his face but she could tell he thought this was going to be easy. "I don't know, you might not win against all this. I'll try to go easy on you."
"I'm sure you will." She got her arm in the ready position and so did Nate. "Gather 'round boys, this is a once in a life time opportunity to see this guy get his ass kicked by a girl."
"Why am I letting this happen?" Sebastian mumbled to himself as every member of the team ran around the table, placing bets with each other, all but golden boy. He stood next to Seb and he watched his sister.
"Ready? Go!" Nate's arm was defiantly stronger than hers, but she had the upper body strength he lacked; so she went easy on his and enjoyed the opportunity to embarrass him. She loosened her grip and let her opponent bring her hand down. She was a smile creep up on Nate's face as he was thinking that he was winning. Clary took this chance to tighten her grip and bring his hand slamming down on the table, causing him to fall of the chair. The room went silent for a minute; all you could hear was the small groan of Nate's defeat. Clary looked over at the poor boy lying down on the floor. "So you were going easy on me?"
"Is it your job in life to make sure all my friends hate me?" Seb asked
"You have friends?!" Clary asked in a fake shocked tone. The football team laughed and Seb raised his hands in disbelief.
"I'm going back upstairs. NO ONE FOLLOW ME!" She made her way through the double doors, making sure to swish her hips a little for the boys, who were still staring at her. Once she closed the doors, she put her ear to the door to listen to the conversation.
"Daaaaamn Seb."
"You tell Jace you have a fucking hot sister and not ME!?"
"Is she single?"
"Hey, dude. You think you can hook me up with her?"
"GUYS! She's my sister. I'm trying to keep other guys AWAY from her." Seb's aggravated voice made Clary giggle a bit. She went back up to her room, and tried to get her mind off golden boy.
What do you think? Good so far?
