Hey guys so this is my first Fanfic! I really hope you like it! Don't judge too harshly please!
Tessa sat on the bus nervously next to her cousin Clary and her friend Simon. They were on their way to Camp Blackfriars, a camp in London for teenagers. All the kids had gone there for years and they were new at the camp. Clary's mother, Jocelyn and Simon's mother, Elaine had decided to send them there.
Tessa lived with Clary. Her parents had died in a car accident when she was only 3. She lived with her Aunt Harriet and her older brother, Nate in New York until Aunt Harriet died of a storke when Tessa was 14. Nate left to go to college and Tessa had been sent to London to live with her cousin Clary Fairchild, her aunt Jocelyn, and Jocelyn's boyfriend Luke Garroway. Simon was the boy who lived next door who just happened to be Clary's best friend. She thought of him like a brother. He was unbearingly over protective of both of them and Tessa loved him for that.
Now they were all 16 and arriving at the camp. The bus made a left turn and a sign that said CAMP BLACKFRIARS was in front of them. The bus stopped and all the kids began to stand up. Tessa looked out the window and saw people, most likely counselors, with green t-shirts chatting with the kids who had already arrived. Tessa got off the bus after Clary and Simon. She searched through the pile of bags until she found her blue duffle bag. Then the three went in search of the main office. *** They filed into the office.
A petite brown haired woman sat next to a tall red headed man behind a desk. "Hello, how may we help you?" She asked the three of them. It was Tessa who spoke first.
"Uh, yes. We are the, um, new campers. Theresa Gray, Clarissa Fairchild, and Simon Lewis." When Tessa said that, the woman's face lit up immediately.
"Why yes of course! Welcome to Camp Blackfriars. I am Charlotte Branwell and over here is my husband, Henry Branwell! We run this camp and we are delighted to have you!" She said perkily. "Welcome Theresa, Clarissa and Simon!" She held out her hand to Tessa.
"I prefer to be called Tessa, Mrs. Branwell," said Tessa.
"And I prefer to be called Clary," Clary said.
"Yes, of course. Now ladies let me show you to your cabin. Henry, will you show Simon where his cabin is?" She turned to Simon, "Henry will show you to your cabin." And with that she left, the two girls at her heels. Simon stood there watching them leave until Henry got up and told him to follow him.
Tessa and Clary stood outside the door of their cabin. They heard commotion coming from the inside. Finally, Clary was brave enough to open the door. They stepped inside and saw clothes strewn everywhere. Suddenly, a girl with jet black and dark blue eyes came up to greet them. "Hi! I'm Cecily Herondale! You two must be Tessa Gray and Clary Fairchild?"
"That would be us," said Clary.
"Okay then! Let me introduce you to everyone! That is Isabelle Lightwood," she pointed to a tall girl with long black hair and dark eyes. She waved at them. "That's Sophie Collins," she pointed to a girl with dark hair and hazel eyes. She had a scar running from her temple all the way through her cheek. "Maia Roberts," she pointed to a girl with medium length brown hair and amber eyes. "And- guys where the hell is Natalia?!" Everyone shrugged. Suddenly a girl came out of a pile of clothes.
"I'm here!" She yelled. She had shoulder length dark blonde hair and cerulean colored eyes. She was pale and thin but very pretty. Her hair was wild and sticking out in all places, presumably from being in a pile of clothes.
"And that's Natalia Montclaire." She finished. She rolled her eyes and mumbled something under her breath. "Guys this is Clary Fairchild and Tessa Gray! They are in our cabin this year!" Everyone cheered. So guys do want the top or the bottom?" Asked Cecily.
"Top- bottom," they both said it at the same time. Tessa wanted the top and Clary the bottom.
"Okay then! You two get settled! I can't wait till you meet our group at dinner!"
Simon was inside his cabin watching everything happen. A boy with golden hair and golden eyes was wrestling on the floor with a boy with black hair and blue eyes. A boy with silver hair and silver eyes was trying to break them apart. Two boys with sandy blonde hair and bright green eyes were sitting on a bed together watching the fight with amusement clear on their faces. A boy with black hair and yellow green eyes sat on a top bed throwing glitter everywhere and laughing to himself.
Then the silver boy got the other two boys off each other. When he saw Simon he walked over to him with a kind smile on his face. "Hello there, are you Simon Lewis?" He asked.
"Yup," replied Simon. The silver boy's smile became even wider.
"I'm James Carstairs but everyone calls me Jem. I'm sorry for what you just had to witness. Will and Jace were having a... disagreement. Again."
"I want the top bed this time! He always gets it!" Shouted the blue eyed boy.
"Exactly! I always get it so I think I should be able to get it again!" Shouted the golden boy.
Jem rolled his eyes. "How about the introductions? That is Will Herondale," he jerked his chin towards the blue eyed boy. "That's Jace Herondale. Him and Will are cousins and they never get along," he gestured towards the golden boy. "Gideon and Gabriel Lightwood. They are twins. And Will calls them 'Lightworms'," he pointed to the two boys sitting on the bed. "Up there is Magnus Bane. He loves glitter. He is the... peculiar one of the group," he waved at the boy with glitter. He winked at them. Two boys then came in. "Ah, there they are. That's Jordan Kyle," he pointed to a boy with brown hair and hazel eyes, "And that's Alec Lightwood, Gideon and Gabriel's cousin." He pointed to a boy who was similar to Will, only his eyes a lighter shade of blue. "Now Simon, where do you want to sleep?" Everyone looked at him expectantly.
"Um, I think I'll take the top bed," he replied unsure.
"Okay. I'll take the bottom. And there are people we want you to meet at dinner."
It was dinner time. All the girls were going to the mess hall, Natalia in the front and by far the most enthusiastic. Clary and Tessa were in the back following the others and listening to them talk. Finally they arrived. They were greeted by the scent of food and a whole bunch of people.
"Oh there they are!" Squealed Isabelle. She ran over to a table full of boys, followed by Maia, Sophie, and Natalia. They watched them sit down. Cecily gestured for them to come. Clary followed but Tessa didn't. When Cecily saw this, she went back to where Tessa was standing and attempted to drag her to the table.
"Cecily please! I don't want to go! I don't like people!"
"Oh come on! How can you not like people?! Just come on! See your cousin is already over there!"
"I'm not going. Make me," said Tessa stubbornly.
"Okay then." Cecily then started to drag her to the table. Tessa was struggling trying to get out of the other girl's grip, but it was no use. Cecy was too strong. When they got to the table, everyone was looking at them strangely, for Tessa was still protesting and Cecily was making her sit down. She finally got her to sit down and Cecily sat downnext to her. Everyone was silent and looking at her. Tessa sighed and put her head down on the table. This was going to be a long summer.
