Woah! What?! I'm back with a full length story?! Yes! I'm inspired! Okay so seriously I'm basing this off of one of my fave Bollywood movies Yeh Jewaan Hai Dewaani, don't worry I'm not one of those people who copies other stories and whole plot lines word for word. I'm just taking the premiss of the movie with my own twists to fit Clace. Updates on this story may be slow because I work a lot and I go back to college next month, but I do really want to finish this one. I'm also thinking about starting a yt channel and if I do I'll totally let you guys know.
In other new, yes I'm back. I did leave two Naruto fics unfinished a few years ago and I hate it . I can finish them but I don't think they are very relevant anymore. So if you have read them and like them let me know maybe I'll fix and republish them if I have the time if there's enough request. My grammar has gotten better than it used to be so hopefully I won't kill all your eyes. I'm also working on a real book, actually I've been working on it for a year now but I have to keep taking breaks for school and stuff. I hoping if I ever finish it to send it out to publishers and maybe get published one day so that's a thing.
Wow..that was a lot of I's...sorry. ON TO THE STORY.
Clary sat at her computer trying to focus on her homework, the key word being trying. Honestly she hated the medical field, she hated the idea of becoming a doctor it just wast not the profession for her. It was far too stifling, no she much preferred the freedom of the arts. She wanted to create and enjoy, she wanted to be able to smile and make others smile with her work. Instead here she was, studying for her advanced medicine classes months before the new semester even started, trying to absorb all the information on the inner workings of the human body. Why? Because Clary was the good girl, she listened to her single mother and what she wanted for her daughter. That she wanted her daughter, hoe she wanted her to be smart and respected. How she wanted her to have a stable career and not have to suffer like her mother; who had to work day in and day out in a restaurant, after being left by her husband and loosing a child, in order to take care of another child.
Jocelyn wasn't a bad mother, Clary loved her to death, which is why she decided to make her mother happy by perusing something that would make her money over her dreams. Jocelyn was however, extremely overprotective. It made Clary nuts, though she had friends, like Simon, she was never really able to go hang out or go places with them unless it was really close by or her mom knew them really well. Other kids would just say "sneak out" or " come one your 21 you can do what you want.": Clary respected and loved her mother far too much for that. So she always followed the rules, she always tried to do the right thing, even if it meant missing out on a lot of things.
"Clarissa! Can you come to the grocery store with me!" The cry came from the kitchen of their small New York apartment.
"Sure mom, give me a minute!" the girl visibly relaxed, finally having a reason to take a break from studying. She grabbed her hoodie and her sneakers before going to meet her mom at the door.
Her mom gave her a once over shaking her head slightly "why don't you ever wear those cute dresses I buy you, they make you look so presentable! Your hair looks so messy too"
Clary sighed choosing the ignore the comment about her hair "I wear them all the time mom! I just wanted to be comfortable while I was studying." The look on Jocelyn's faced changed almost instantly and the girl congratulated herself on successfully changing the topic.
"You didn't have to interrupt your studies for me Clarissa, you need to do well this semester to get into a good Medical school!"
"Don't worry mom, I had just finished the chapter. I was going to come out and get some food anyway." She lied smoothly. If there was anything Clary Fray could lie about it was studying; she had barley even started studying, she was more so doodling in sketch book while trying to stare at her computer.
The look on her moms face softened again as she joked, "Honestly I have no clue how you can eat so much and still be so skinny! Ahh how I would love to be young again!"
Clary was perusing the isles or the grocery store looking for ingredients she would like to cook with while her mom was at the other end of the store when she saw her. The sweetest, most beautiful girl Clary knew. Isabelle Lightwood. They went to the same college campus along with Isabelle's brothers Alec and Jace as well as her boyfriend and Clary's best friend Simon Lewis. They had crossed paths a few times because of Simon since the unlikely pair started dating but Clary always felt out of place with them, like they belonged to a world she could never touch. She turned around quickly trying to hide her face but honestly anybody who had met her once would be able to recognize her fiery red hair.
"ClARY! Oh my god its been so long since I've see you how are you?" Isabelle all but screamed rushing over to give her a hug, which Clary returned sheepishly.
"I-I've been good! Yeah I'm sorry about that, Si keeps inviting me to hang out with you guys but I've been so busy with my job at the book store and studying that it never really worked out. How about you, hows your summer?"
"Studying in summer, really Fray?" Jace commented, his beautiful golden eyes glinting with amusement as he looked at her. Jace was like a greek god in human form, not that she would tell him that, he already had a big ego. Clary would be lying if she said she didn't find him attractive, and he could be really funny when he wanted.
"She takes school seriously unlike you Jace." Simon was quick to defend, but with a joking tune to his voice.
"Oh, how would you know, all you do at my house is make out with my sister." Clary blushed a bit at that. Alec and Isabelle simply rolled their eyes at the two boys banter and turned their attention back to to the redhead.
"We've been good! Its been a fun summer! It sucks that you couldn't hang out with us though! Hey what about right now?! We were just gonna grab some snacks and go hang out at my place!"
"I'm sorry I'm actually helping my mom out with some errands right now. How about you give me your number and we can figure out something!" Clary responded quickly, discretely checking to see if her mom was around. She really did miss spending time with people; She also wanted to be friends with Isabelle, though the girl seemed rebellious, she was really a total sweetheart.
"Sure! Actually here I'll give you Alec and Jace's numbers too, I tend to lose my phone a lot so I steal theirs!" she exclaimed laughing as she took Clary's phone to input the numbers.
"wow Izzy, do you give our numbers out to all your girlfriends without our consent?" Alec joked. He was the oldest of the three siblings; A senior while the rest of them were sophomores. He was currently dating Magnus Bane another friend of Clary's, and was just as much of a sweetheart as his sister. Though he tended not to show it as much.
Isabelle ignored him and continued to talk to Clary while handing back the girls phone. " You know we were thinking about going to our beach house next month for three weeks before school starts back up! You should totally come with us if you can!"
"Um yeah I'll let you know." She replied taking her phone back from the girl while avoiding Simon's gaze. He knew how overprotective her mother could be and knew no matter what she said she would never really be able to get to go.
"Clarissa! There you are! I've been looking all over for you!" he mom called from the end of the isle. "Oh hi, Simon, how are you?" she asked as she realized he was there.
"I'm good Mrs. Fray, and you? We were actually just asking Clary if she wanted to come hang out with us" he gestured to the rest of the group
Jocelyn frowned a bit "I'm afraid Clary has to help me out with some things today, maybe next time."
"yeah that's what she said as well. Well then, we should go. I'll see you later Clary!" He called as he urged the group to walk away.
"Who were they?" Clary's mother asked as they walked towards the registers.
"The girl is Isabelle Lightwood, Simone's girlfriend, and the boys were her two brothers."
"She was very provocative don't you think? Not very ladylike. I never really pictured Simon with someone like her." Indeed Isabelle was sexy and her outfit had showed that off. The low cut top and skinny jeans she was wearing showed off all her curves while her heels made her look like a supermodel. She wasn't a fashion design student for nothing.
"Shes actually really sweet, and shes a fashion student so she likes to play with her look a lot."
Her mother frowned and sighed " I guess when you come from a family with money, its okay to work in field like that. Well I guess you will have to see her once and a while because of Simone, but please don't let her influence you too much. She doesn't seem like a good role model. Those boys seem okay but I don't want you getting distracted from your studies. " Clary should have been mad at her mom was insulting the girl who's confidence she admired but she was more so focusing on the fact that her mom had just given her permission to actually hang out with them. It wasn't much but it was something!
PHEW! That was actually shorter than I though it would be but I already have the next chapter laid out in my head. Plus its like 4 in the morning in PA and though listening to BIG BANG and writing is fun. I enjoy sleep quite a bit so REVIEW, FAVORITE, FOLLOW, ENJOY! Goodnight.
