"Clary, up!" someone shouts from outside my door.

"Ughhhh."

"I mean it Clary! C'mon get up," I hear the door open and suddenly my room is flooded with sunlight as my mum opens the curtains.

"CHILD ABUSE! Oh my god I think I'm going to die. It burns. IT BUUURNS!"

"Get up Clary," I can tell she's beginning to lose her patience… Hmmm… This could go two ways. 1. She'll burn all my comic books and ground me until I'm 90, or 2. she might just leave and let me sleep. Well at least she'll have to feed me if I'm grounded.

"The light! It burns! Help meeee! I'M DYING! I'M DY…"

"Um, Clary?"

I refuse to look, if I ignore whoever has just interrupted my pain filled monologue they will go away and forget this ever happened. They will forget that I was kneeling on my bed clutching my pillow in my hands while screaming. I slowly begin to move my head around. NO. Stop it Clary, now how am I going to get out of this.

Three simple steps.

Let go of the pillow. I feel the pillow drop down on the bed beside me.

Sit down on the bed properly trying your hardest to not fall off. I plop down and sit with my legs crossed.

Don't say anything in case you embarrass yourself further. I remain silent glaring lasers at the floor hoping it will collapse and kill me.

"Earth to Clary?"

I finally decide its safe enough to look at the door and see all four boys looking at me like I've been bitten by a mad dog.

"Yes dearest brother?"

"What were you doing?" asked Jonathan, who had obviously decided to investigate my impending doom with his three best friends Alec, Seb and of course Jace (who lets just say is beyond perfect).

"Well you see I forgot to mention last night that I had been bitten by a vampire, Raphael, I think his name was and that because of this I was now a vampire. Meaning that Mum tried to kill me when she opened the curtains. So really it's all her fault."

I have five sets of eyes on me, two of which were probably wondering what they did in a previous life to end up being related to me. Then I hear a snort and know that I will never live this down.

"Seriously Clary, I'm surprised you haven't been taken to a mental hospital yet." replies Jonathan.

"You tried to take me when I was 8." I deadpanned.

"And they said there was no hope so sent you back?" asked Jace whilst quirking one eyebrow, god dammit why am I the only one who can't do that?!

I decided a glare would be the best reply to that question, Alec and Jonathan burst out laughing however, and I began to plot their slow and painful deaths in my head.

"No, they thought she'd scare everyone else," replies Jonathan.

By this point Alec is laughing so hard that I don't really understand how he's still standing up and even my Mum is trying to suppress her laughter. Traitor. The only person who isn't laughing is Seb and he never laughs at me. I always liked him.

"You all suck," I huff and bury my head under my duvet and hope the ground will swallow me up.

I feel by bed sink as they all sit down on my bed and I hear my door close meaning my Mum has deserted me and left me to fend for myself. At this rate she should tattoo the words "BEWARE I AM A TRAITOR" on her forehead.

"Oh you know we didn't mean it like that Clare," I hear Alec say, but it sounds more like a mumble because the duvet is still covering my face, meaning I can't take in oxygen, oh god I'm suffocating. I'm going to die. I slowly turn over trying to play it cool, even though when I make eye contact with Jace it is clear he knew that I was dying under there.

"You know we find your quirkiness cute really Clary Berry, you're like an overactive puppy. We can't help but love you." says Jace as he pats my leg. Oh what I wouldn't give to pat his… GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER CLARY.

"Clary I'm sorry if me questioning your sanity has offended you, although we both know you are completely insane." says Jonathan.

"I am not! I am just creative."

"Whatever you say Clary Berry'" chuckles Jace.

As a last resort I glance at Seb hoping he'll stick up for me. He has always been the nicest to me, I personally think thats because he's the only one who can truly appreciate my sense of humour; the rest of them just don't get that I am actually one of the best people alive and they're lucky to even be in my presence, really I am a queen and they are my peasants.

"Oh god she's doing the queen and peasants face again," moaned Alec.

"Ha. We are like Kings not peasants. Jinx! Double Jinx! Jinx on an elephant riding a pogo stick! DAMMIT!" yell Jace and Jonathan.

"I'm beginning to think you're here too often." I look over at Jace as I say this.

"Anyway we have to be going guys if we want to catch that movie, you're welcome to join us if you want to Clary. That is, if you feel like your vampire self could venture out into the sun." Seb winks at me when he says the last part.

"I would love to but alas I am now a vampire and the sun is too dangerous, have fun though." I say as I get back under the duvet so I can go back to sleep.

"Seriously, Clare, Mum wanted you up, don't go back to sleep!" I hear Jon laugh.

"C'mon Clary Berry if you get up we'll give you a hug," Jace whispers. That does it for me, I slowly sit up probably looking a bit too hopeful to look casual. A hug from Jace and I'd be set for life. Jon is chuckling, I'm pretty sure he figured out that I've been in love with Jace since forever, ages ago but he still hasn't said anything. I put my arms out and all four boys try and squash me to death.

"Guys, can't breathe, dying slowly, light coming nearer," I choke out. They all laugh but get off me, THANK HOLY WAFFLES! Oooh waffles.

"Get up and I'll make you waffles Clary Berry," says Jace, damn he knows me too well. Seb huffs and whines about the movie.

"But Sebby, waffffffffles." I whine right back, yeah I can be a little bitch too, I almost feel like sticking my tongue out at him.

"Fine." he says.

I jump out of bed, only realising then that I was in my Superman onesie. Eh, never mind it's not like I haven't seen them in their onesies. That sounds weird thinking about it…

I race down the stairs, hearing them crashing around behind me. Ha, I will be victorio…

"Haha gotta be faster than that Sunshine," I hear as Jace rushes past me. Sunshine? Did he just call me Sunshine? Oh my god I think I'm dying.

About half an hour later we're all sat around the table eating waffles.

"Oh guys I almost forgot, they've finally finished renovating the basement, so do you want to have a movie night tomorrow?" Seb asks. Everyone just nods in agreement.

"Can Iz and Simon come?" I ask already knowing the answer.

"Of course Clary." Seb smiles at me.

"Can we watch my new DVD, it's a horror movie?" Jon asks excitedly.

I feel the colour drain from my face at the thought of a horror movie.

"Don't worry I'll protect you," Jace whispers in my ear. Well at least the colours back on my face. Ugh, play it cool Clary! Play it cool!

I can't wait for tomorrow night.
