Chapter one
"Bye Clary, have fun!" my mum said before driving away and leaving me at camp.
I should introduce myself; well, my name is Clarrisa Fray and I have red curly hair and emerald green eyes. I'm sixteen and also very short. For the summer, my parents Jocelyn and Luke sent me to a music camp. It would have been great because I love playing on my guitar and writing music but i was kind a nervous since my best friend Maia cancelled at the last moment meaning… I don't know anybody at the camp!
"Hey, do you need help?" asked a boy snapping me out of my daydream. He had straight brown hair, dorky glasses and was looking my suitcases." Realisation flashed through my eyes.
"You look a lot like a girl I used to… hey!" Before he could finish his sentence, I rugby tackled him to the ground.
"Simon!" I shouted thrusting my arms about his neck. "How could you forget me?"
"Clary, I can't breathe!" Simon coughed out. I loosened my grip on his neck.
"Sorry" I said blushing. I helped him up. "I haven't seen you in 8 years but you still look exactly the same." He said smiling at me.
"Same goes for you although you have grown like a foot since; still a manga nerd?" I asked eyeing him.
"Always have been and always will be!" he exclaimed picking up my backpack and a suitcase and started walking. "Come on I'll show you to your room what building is it in?"
"Um…" I took out the crumpled piece of paper from my bag. "It says Building 4 room 2."
"K, it's on the other side of the camp" Simon said walking towards a yellow building.
Just before we reached the building, Simon remembered what he was doing before he saw me and ran back the way we came. I knocked on the door but found it unlocked and the whole building empty.
After I got to my room, I sat down on my bed and signed; this was going to be a long summer.
