I do not own The Mortal Instruments, the amazing Cassandra Clare owns it :)

Chapter 1

My Arrival

I see the outline of my house from the cab i'm taking. I sigh and ran my hand trough my red hair, it has been a year since i left for Alicante High in California, and now i regret it. I regret meeting people there, meeting Tessa, Jem, Will and ...Sebastian. If i haven't met him, i wouldn't have been this horrible. I was lost in my thought that i hadn't realize we already made it. I pay the cab and walk to the front of my house. It's still the same, the white pillars, the same old roof the same old garden in the front. I walk to the door and knock. No one knows my sudden arrival, i plan it to be a suprise. The door swung open and standing right there is my personal maid, Sara.

"Clarissa! We didn't know you are coming, if we knew we'll made a feast of course, and pick you up at the airport, not to mention your parents would be so happy to see you, but they're having a business trip to England because they didn't know you were coming so i'm sorry, you'll be meeting them next week" says Sara in a rush. I had to think for a sec before replying her.

"It's okay Sara, i'm not suprised. They've always been this busy. Where is Jonathan? I can't wait to meet my older brother!"

"Oh, he's still in school, you have to wait, while you wait for him you should head back to your room and take a shower, and then i'll make you your favorite lunch" says Sara eagerly.

I smile to her and drag my bag to my room. It haven't change a bit. I still remember the night sky ceiling that i painted myself and the forest walls that i painted with my mom and the wooden floor. I jump to my bed and lay down for awhile, after that i run to my bathroom to take a shower. I wear a white shirt that said 'Nerd' in the front and grab my denim shorts, and of course i wear my black converse. I blow - dry my hair and brush it to untangled all the curls. When i head downstairs i hear a loud noise of people chattering, and there on the front of the stairs is my brother. I run to him, hug him really tight and lean to his ears to whisper

"I really miss you Jonathan"
I could feel him grinning right now

"Hey i miss you too Clare-bear" he replied softly while patting my back. Suddenly there's a loud cough from behind us. I turn around and found myself in a middle of a soccer team, i guess. They are all wearing soccer uniforms. Why didn't i see this, i thought. They are all staring and gaping at me, like wolves staring at its prey. The one who cough is in front of them, he has a piercing blue eyes and very black hair. The face is really familiar, my thought is cut off when the boy says

"Aren't you gonna say you miss me too, Clare-bear?" And i know that there's only one people beside my brother who knows my nickname. "ALECCC"
and then i tackle him and hug him.

"God you're getting heavier, get off me" he says. I stand up and blush, this is embarassing.

"Where have you been? I haven't meet you since second grade! I thought you move to Canada" "Well, i did. Our house got flooded and all of our contacts were gone. Sorry" said Alec

"So who is this young lady?" says someone in the crowd who has golden hair and golden eyes.

He smirks to me. Oh, i know this kind of boy, the kind who thinks they are gods just by their looks. I roll my eyes and tried to held back a scowl.

Jonathan put his arm around me and said "This is my sister, Clarissa Morgensten, she-" "I prefer Clary though" "Yes Clary, i know, i was just going to say that. Btw guys, she just came back from her boarding school, Alicante High for unknown reason" he stop awhile right there to look at me. The look that say you have to tell me later or i'll chop off your head and feed it to the alligators, and continue his speech. "And you guys don't ever mess with her or you will feel my wrath"

I smile at that last one.

All of the boys start to ask me things like "Isn't Alicante High is only for talented kids?" "Will you go out with me?" "Are you gonna go to our school?" And "What is your talent?" That last one was asked by the golden boy.

I try to reply all of them in one breath. "Yes it is, no i will not go out with you, yes i will just like Jonathan, and you'll see my talents at school" i say and winks at the golden boy, who's smirking now.

"Wait...did you say talents?" Jeez they are so annoying.

Before i could answer, Alec help me by saying, "I guess you have something to do Clary, like calling my sister and Simon to come here since i guess you haven't told them you're coming. Now, shoo you guys" he say to the soccer team.

I give him a relieved smile. He is really over-protective to me since he's been like a big brother to me, like Jonathan. I go to my room and calls Isabelle and Simon to come. Their house is right next to mine, anyway. 5 minutes after my call, my doorbell rang. I run to the front door and open it, Isabelle run in and hug me so tight i could die, and then i heard a choke of laughter.

"Isabelle, i know you miss her, but you're hugging her too tight" says Simon. Isabelle release me and curse Simon.

"Thanks Simon! I miss you guys, it's not the same without Isabelle complaining about my fashion sense all the time, and Simon informing me about the new release game" I hug them once more.

"So let's go to the kitchen, i'm hungry and Sara said she's gonna make my favorite meal!"

"Yeah, and i really miss you being hungry all the time, Clary" says Isabelle mockingly. I stuck my tounge out to her while Simon laugh and i slap his back hard. We go to the kitchen and meet Sara who already prepare the three of us sandwiches and orange juice, and she also made us chocolate chip cookies!

"Sara how did you know Isabelle and Simon are coming?" I said, pure shock on my face.

"I know you won't be complete without the two of them" We all smile at her words. Simon and Isabelle sit next to me and we start to eat, calmly. Well not really. We started to pick a fight over the cookies, just like we used to when we were at pre-school. I take the last cookie and run to my room. Isabelle and Simon run in after me and we start to share our stories.

"So, Clary why did you come home early? It's not like i don't want you here, but aren't you suppose to finish your high school there?" Simon asks curiously.

I bet my face is turning pale, because just after he said that he looks confused and worried and say "You don't have to answer that question...just tell us soon key?" i smile and nod.

"So Isabelle did you have fun in Canada?"

"Yeah, and my family adopted another child there, i have another brother Clare. urgh, i mean having Alec is enough"

"Is he my brother's friend?" Isabelle nod and ask us to go downstairs.

On the front stairs we stop and look at the boys at the living room. "That one" Isabelle pointed the golden boy. Simon made a gagging sound and say, "yeah, the number one jerk, Jace Lightwood"
