Hey guys. So this is my first fanfiction and I'm a little nervous. This is a mashup of some of my own ideas and characters with one of my favorite books The Mortal Instruments. So this first chapter is kind of just introducing the characters and some of the scenery. I hope you like.

Chapter 1

Parris

Today is the first day of senior year. I'm so excited. Also really nervous. What if I don't get into the college I want to get into? What if I fail all of my class?

As I contemplate every bad thing that could happen this school year, I pull into one of the parking spaces at the one and only Ridgewood High.

I step out of the car and start to walk over to where everyone else sits in the morning. As I approach, I see one of my best friends, Clary Fray, with her piercing green eyes and fiery red hair and her extremely annoying boyfriend, Jace Lightwood or Herondale, I lost track. I try to tolerate him for Clary's sake, but he just makes it so difficult sometimes.

"Parris!" Clary exclaims as I sit down across from her. "I missed you so much over summer! How was London? Was it beautiful?"

"It was amazing. I just wish you could have come along. You would have loved it!" I say.

"Who would love what now?" Said my second most favorite person in the whole wide world, Simon Lewis. He is like 5'6 and has these vintagey dark glasses. He, of course, comes to school with disheveled hair and I'm always fixing it. So as soon as he sits down I brush his dark brown hair back in place. We do this so often that it doesn't affect anyone anymore.

"Thanks," he says.

"Anytime," I mutter. It sucks cause I have this huge crush on him. But he is like in love with his friend Isabelle. And Isabelle is so freakin gorgeous, I don't even stand a chance. Then there's Alec. Alec is very handsome with his dark hair and very blue eyes. Except he's gay and is in love with this college guy named Magnus Bane. God, why can't I find someone. Oh well…

"Parris! Earth to Parris!" Says Jace with a smirk.

"What?" I try to say as nicely as I could but it comes out a lot harsher than expected.

"Woah. Calm down." He says with mock hurt. "I was just wondering what classes you had this semester. I wonder if we have any classes together?"

God, I wanted to punch him so badly.

"I have APCalc first block, Anatomy second, English 3a and 3b, Lunch, then APUSH fourth." I listed the classes off my schedule. When I look up, he is smiling a twisted grin. Oh no…

"Oh by the Angel," he says with pure enthusiasm, " we have the exact same classes! Isn't that exciting, Parris?"

I mutter some very harsh words under my breath. Simon hears them and starts to laugh and I feel my face grow hot. I quickly excuse myself so no one sees. I rush to the bathroom to try and get rid of the blush and fail. After about 5 minutes of looking in the mirror, the bell rings and I get ready for my first day of senior year.
