No Malec, sorry. Magnus is still a warlock, but other than that, it's an AH. Alec is still gay, Jonathon is good and Jace is still an asshat.
Chapter 1 - Nobody's P.O.V. (they're all sophomores)
"Hey, Pippi Longstockings." Jace Herondale teased. Again.
Clary was getting sick of this. Sick of the jokes about her red hair, her short stature, her kind of chubby form, her freckles, everything. She wouldn't be surprised if he started teasing her about her green eyes next. However, this was something she had gone through many times. She already knew what was next. He's mentioned my hair, she thought, now, he'll mention my height.
"Or, maybe I should call you something else. Oh, I know! How about Blue Mushroom?" He asked, rhetorically. His friends glanced at him, quizzically. Rolling his eyes, he explained, "You know, like in Super Mario, the little blue mushrooms? Which make poor Mario the size of Fray here." His friends guffawed loudly.
Clary breathed in through her nose and out through her mouth softly, and left. She was getting too irritated. Luckily, this was her last day here at this hell hole of a high school before she left to spend a year backpacking around Europe with her mother, whilst her brother and father stayed. Speaking of her brother, Jonathon walked up to Clary.
"Hey, midge." He said, smiling that special smile that he reserved for his sister. He knew the troubles Clary went through. Clary was the only person who understood him. Both had short tempers, but Jonathon's was like a bomb, always ticking. Just a spark and he'd erupt. Clary was the only one who knew how to diffuse the bomb.
"Hey, idiot." Clary didn't mind the nickname from her brother, because he said it lovingly. Neither cared about the meaningless insults thrown about from one to the other.
"I'm gonna miss you." Jon said, sincerely.
"Aw, Jon. I'm gonna miss you, too." She reached up and hugged him. "I'll write you whenever I can." Clary smirked. "I also have a plan for when I get back, but I'll tell you then." She grinned, evilly.
Jon grinned back, widely. "Whenever I see that grin, I know I'm going to enjoy myself."
"See you after school, Jon." Clary said.
"CLARY!" Isabelle, Clary's best girlfriend, yelled, running over the grass and practically tackling her to the ground. "I can't believe you're leaving. Like, actually properly leaving. Come over before you leave. Like, to my house. I'll host a 'Farewell' party. I'll kick Jace out and invite everyone we know! It'll be amazing! Then, text me when you get back, and I'll host a 'Welcome Back' party!" Iz streamed off. "It'll be a blast!"
"Uh... Iz?" Alec, her brother, came up behind her. "I'm pretty sure you'd need Clary to be alive if you want to hold a party for her."
"Oh, yeah." Iz jumped off Clary. "But, is that okay?"
"Sure!" Clary laughed. "I wouldn't expect any less from the Isabelle Sofia Lightwood!" Both girls laughed.
Finally, their gang joined them. Their 'gang' consisted of: Clary, the art freak; Isabelle (Iz), the fashion guru; Simon, the gamer; Alexander (Alec), the sensible one; Maia, the sociopath; and Jordan, the band-player. Jordan played drums in a rock little-known band on Clary's street. His dreams were to hit it big in Los Angeles or Miami.
"Hey, Clare?" Alec asked. Clary looked at him. Alec looked down before looking back up at her again.
"You know you're amazing at reading people and just guessing their whole life story?"
Clary nodded. She'd been told since she was in kindergarten that she should become a gypsy and make money out of reading people. She had accurately guessed Alec's sexuality within the first few seconds of meeting him.
"Well, if you see any gays... can you... you know..." He trailed off, unsure of how to word his question.
Clary smiled. She knew exactly what he wanted. "Give them your number and ask them to give you a call? Sure."
Alec beamed at her and hugged her. "Thank you." He whispered in her ear.
"Anything for you." She smiled back at him. Alec hadn't been in a relationship for a while and it was worrying her.
She turned and sighed, staring up at the daunting-looking high school in front of her. "Let's get this day over with." She muttered.
Okay, guys. I owe you an explanation. The reason I haven't been posting for a while is because I not only have been swamped with my GCSEs, but both my friend and I have been stuck in hospital on loads of occassions since I last came on and I've been feeling like crap for ages. I've decided to get back on track with this, but I'll still be fairly irregular with my uploads. Just like a period. (Come on, someone must have laughed at that!)
