"Clary, we're here!" said Jocelyn from the driver's seat as the car pulled into a gravel car park. Clary sighed and looked at the large building that had come into view in front of her.
It had seemed a great idea at the time to apply for a job volunteering as a leader at a children's summer camp for the 8 weeks of the school summer holidays, but Clary could feel the nerves building in her stomach.
Clary stepped out of the car and took her bags from her step-dad ,Luke, and gave her mum, Jocelyn, a hug. "Enjoy yourself!" said Jocelyn smiling. Clary nodded. "You'll make lots of friends here Clary" said Luke reassuringly. Clary hoped he was right. She waved goodbye to her mum and Luke as their car pulled out of the car park.
She pushed her red hair out of her face and pulling her bag behind her, set off towards the entrance. She wove between the children and parents as she walked up the gravel path. 'Alicante Holiday Camp' was printed in large white letters above the main entrance. Clary pushed open the large wooden door and stepped inside. A woman sat behind a large desk in the entrance hall and smiled as she saw Clary.
"You must be Clary Fray! We've been expecting you!" she said cheerfully. Clary nodded. "I'm Charlotte Branwell, Assistant Camp Director. Nice to meet you!" said Charlotte. "You too" said Clary quietly. Charlotte handed her a folder and a key. "All the information you need to know about camp is in there. Anything you're unsure about, just ask. You're in room 72 on the third floor. Just head up the stairs to your left." Clary nodded. "Thanks" she said.
She headed up the stairs, pulling her bag behind her. She passed the entrances for floors 1 and 2. She could hear children talking and laughing, so she assumed the kids slept on these floors. She headed further up the stairs until the entrance to the third floor was in front of her. She pushed the door open and found herself in a long corridor with various doors leading off into what she assumed were the rooms.
She was about to head up the corridor when the door nearest to her swung open and a boy appeared. He shut the door behind him. His hear was white-blonde and his features were very angular. His eyes were dark, as thought they were just black. Clary wasn't sure she liked the smug smile that crossed his face when he saw her. "Can I help you?" he said. Clary shook her head. "Really, because you look lost" said the boy taking a step closer to her so there were only a few inches between them. "Are you sure I couldn't help you?" he said. His breath smelt sour on Clary's face. He moved closer to Clary until there was barely space between them. Clary's mind was screaming for her to run as fast as she could away from this boy but her body seemed to be frozen as the boy leaned in towards her.
"Get off her Verlac!" shouted a voice from behind them. Clary spun round to see a girl with long black hair, standing with her arms folded in the corridor entrance. The boy's eyes narrowed. "What can you do about it?" he said his voice dripping with venom. "Try me!" said the girl confidently taking a step closer. The boy narrowed his eyes further before stepping back into the room and slamming the door behind him.
The girl grabbed Clary's arm and pulled her down the corridor. "For goodness sake! What are you doing hanging around Sebastian Verlac's room?" said the girl rolling her eyes. Clary shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't mean to, he just sort of appeared" she said. "Seriously avoid him, he's...slimy" said the girl with a shiver. She pulled a disgusted face.
"I'm Clary by the way, Clary Fray." said Clary quickly. The girl sighed with relief. "Phew, I thought you would never turn up!" she said relieved. Clary frowned. "I'm your roommate" said the girl explaining as they pulled up outside room 72. The girl pulled a key from her pocket and opened the door.
Clary walked into the room. It had a reasonable living room with a couch and armchair and a large TV. She could see a small kitchen and two doors leading off to bedrooms. The girl pulled a bottle of water out of the fridge and took a sip.
"I'm Cecily by the way, Cecily Herondale" said the girl.
Hey!
So how do you think Cecily and Clary will get on? And what about Sebastian?
Will update soon! (Seriously, I'm so impatient about waiting for stories to continue.)
Just asking: Are you guys excited for City of Heavenly Fire? (I can't wait!)
