This is my first story so I don't know how it's gonna turn out. Hope you like it.

CLARY'S POV

"Simon hurry up, we don't want to be late" I yelled up to my best friend Simon. I, Clarissa Fairchild, just moved to Brooklyn, New York and Simon came with me. Recently his mom disowned him so he moved in with my family. He still talks to his older sister but for some reason his mother refuses to contact him.

Simon came downstairs to the living room which was still full of boxes. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here I am." he replied lazily to me. Simon grabbed a piece of toast from the plate I was holding and plopped down on the sofa. "So, you ready to start a new school year at a new school. It's gonna be so much fun." He stated sarcastically to me.

"Well it's not like I had any friends besides for you at our old school. And I doubt we're going to get many here." I said while smirking at him. Simon laughed just as Jocelyn came downstairs.

"What's so funny?" She questioned us.

"Oh nothing, we just can't wait to start school." I replied while smiling at Simon.

"Then you might want to leave. The bus will be here soon." My mom said while looking at her watch. I grab my backpack and then Simon's wrist and head to the door.

"Bye mom, love you." I call out to her.

"Bye Jocelyn!" Simon yells before the door shuts. We made it outside right on time. The bus was just pulling up around the corner as we left the house. Simon and I ran down to the bus stop and the driver opened the door for us. I didn't realize other kids would be at our bus stop too until I realized the driver was still waiting for someone even after Simon and I took our seats on the already fairly crowded bus.

I look out the window and see three people walk out of the house that sits next to mine. They get on the bus and sit by each other and I can't help but stare.

There is one girl and two boys. The girl has long, black hair and dark eyes. She is really tall, but then again everyone seems tall to someone of my stature. One of the boys look a lot like the girl, the same dark hair and eyes. You could definitely tell they were related.

But what really has me memorized is the second boy. He looked absolutely nothing like the other two. He has blonde, curly hair and shiny gold eyes. He was probably the most handsome guy I had ever seen. But that just meant that every girl probably was in love with him.

I don't realize I'm still staring until Simon snaps in front of my face. "Clary, hello... Earth to Clary." I snap out of my daydream and look at him. He just stares at me and then looks in the general direction I was staring at, then back at me. "What's so interesting?"

"There's some people that apparently we live next to now that got on the bus." Simon just stares at me some more with a Really? look on his face. "What?" I ask. "Maybe we actually can make some friends." Simon shrugs and the bus pulls up to our new school. I breath in then stand up to get off.

"So what's your schedule?" Simon asks me after we go to the office to get them. It's the middle of the school year so we're basically screwed on understanding what's going on in classes.

"Umm, I have math, science, English, lunch, history, art and last gym. How about you?" I respond to Simon.

"Math, English, science, lunch, history, art and gym. Hey at least we have most classes together." Simon smiles at me, pointing out the good in this.

We both head off to math and get there a few minutes early. We tell the teacher that we're both new and she seats us together, thankfully. I nearly snooze off a few times in class but Simon keeps me awake by occasionally poking me with a pencil on the nose. After about an hour of being bored out of my mind, class is over. I'm thankful that I'm out of math but now Simon and I have separate classes.

I go to my science class and tell the teacher I'm new. I got there barely before the bell so class is already full. The teacher points for me to sit next to the girl from the bus who (since I don't know her name) I've decided to call Black Beauty, I think it suits her.

I sit down in the seat next to her and she immediately introduces herself. "Hi, I'm Isabelle." She says with a sincere smile.

"I'm Clary." I say back to her.

"I love your hair. It's like fire. Is it naturally red?" Isabelle asks curiously.

I smile back before answering, "Thank you and yes it is. I get my hair from my mom." I can tell that the two of us are going to be friends.

Science ends too quickly because I wanted to talk to Isabelle more. I ask her what class she has next in hopes we can spend more time together. "I have English next." Isabelle replies and my face lights up.

"Great, so do I! Let's go." We head to class and before I know it the bell rings for lunch. Isabelle and I part ways and she tells me to look for her in the cafeteria. I run into Simon at my locker and we go together.

Once we reach the cafeteria I immediately spot Izzy's dark hair and tell Simon to follow me. I tap on her shoulder and introduce my two friends to each other. "Simon this is Izzy, I met her in class. Izzy this is Simon, he's my best friend, but we're more like brother and sister."

Simon looks like he's fallen in love once he sees Isabelle's face. "Hi." Is all he says before Izzy introduces us to the two boys sitting at the table with her. They're the two boys from the bus, Izzy's 'twin' and the golden boy.

"Alec, Jace, this is Clary and her friend Simon. They just moved here. This is my brother Alec, he's two years older than us. And this is my adopted brother, Jace." Isabelle say that last part to Simon and I. They both only reply with a hi, but Jace seems to hesitate before saying hi and was staring at me the entire time Izzy introduced us. Although I've hardly even met him, Jace definitely seems like a player and the look he was giving me is probably what he does to every girl to make them swoon.

Well that won't be me.
