"Im going to miss you so much!", I practically screamed while hugging Jace, my best friend since kindergarten.
"I'll never forget you. I promise you, we will find a way to communicate. I don't care if it's through Skype or handwritten letters, we will communicate.", Jace said quietly.
Jace. Jace Wayland. I met him in kindergarten and we instantly hit it off. We've been friends ever since then. He's quirky, nerdy, and just plain lovable. We are both now freshman in high school, and we both are very excited to begin a new year filled with hilarious moments and life-changing decisions. The only problem is, we won't be together to start the year off.
It was the day. The day I leave for England. I was perfectly happy living where I live now, New York. Unfortunately though, my father had to find a good paying job in England instead of somewhere near where we live. Don't get me wrong though, I love that he got a job and all, but I hate how it's so far away from New York. It's not like I have a lot of friends or anything. Heck, I practically have only one friend. It's just that that one friend is most amazing friend that could possibly exist and now I have to say goodbye.
"Promise me one thing, you won't change. You'll stay exactly how you are. Promise?", I say one last time.
"Promise.", he finally says.

Clary's POV
Ah. It feels good to be back in New York. I have just got off the plane and I already feel at home. I am ever so glad that a college in New York excepted me and gave me a scholarship. The only thing I hate, is leaving my father in England for some time. It's totally unfair that he's in our plain old house alone while I'm in the city that never sleeps filled with millions of people. Sadly, my mom passed away, leaving him with no company. It's okay though, I'm planning to go back to England after I graduate.
"Excuse me Miss, are you okay? You have been standing there biting your lip for quite some time.", a man that works at the airports asked me.
"Um yes.", I quickly say then scurry off to the baggage claiming area.
Right away I spot my luggage. It wasn't a big thing, really. Just a plain regular black suitcase with a small red ribbon on it to help me spot it. After I hoisted it out of where it was being held, I start off my journey in New York.
When I got outside, the air hit me. Moist and hot. Well what have I expected? I did come in July even though college starts in mid September. I have been so excited that I came early to gather my needs to start the school year off. What I also noticed was that a lot of people were everywhere. And I mean everywhere. The greatest thing was, was that you got to see so many diversity in culture. It was truly an amazing sight. After about a minute of admiring what I have missed for so long, I hailed a cab and climbed in.
After the cab dropped me off at my new apartment and I unpacked, I decided to take a walk around New York since I have missed it so much. Since I was wearing really baggy sweatpants and a plain green giant sweater, I decided to change so I looked presentable and so no one mistakes me for a drug dealer.
I went to where I put my clothes and decided to wear a gray tee shirt and light washed shorts. I am also pairing them with my regular white Converse. I looked at myself in the mirror and thought I should just put my hair in a high ponytail so my hair won't be in my face. There, I was now ready to take a walk around the place I once lived.
Jace's POV
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Urg, my alarm clock won't shut up. I did everything I could to make it stop. I threw a pillow at it, I threw my slipper at it, and I even called my roommate, Sebastian, to turn it off. It was all the way on the other side of my room because I thought that if I put it there I would have to end up getting up to turn it off. And I was right.
I sluggishly got out of bed. I was a mess. My hair ruffled, wrinkled white tee shirt, and one week old pajama pants that had little cartoon tacos on it. I slowly walked to where my alarm clock was. I then turned the alarm off and checked the time. 12:00! Oh shoot, I promised Aline I would take her on a date at 12:30!
I ran to my closet to quickly grabed some clothes. I ended up with a simple black tee and black jeans. I brushed my hair, but it still looked sloppy. Gosh, I am so stupid for not remembering. After about five minutes of thinking if I should cancel the date I texted her, "Ready? I'll be there in 10 minutes."
In about a minute, she texted back, "Ready as ever."
