"ELLE!" My dad yelled from downstairs. "ONE MINUTE!" I screamed back. I could hear him pace around nervously. Yes, Jace Freaking Herondale, my dad, was nervous. The guy could hack demons into pieces. But one daughter just starting high school scared him. "ELLE JOCELYN HERONDALE!" He screamed louder. I could hear him coming up the stairs. "Umm. I'm naked." I lied through the door.
I could hear him standing outside the door. "You better hurry up before I bring your mother into this." He said. "Mom would tell you to eff the heck off." I yelled and started to wash the paint off my hands. "Alright," he screamed. "I'm coming in there. Naked or not." I panicked and started scrubbing harder. The paint wasn't coming off at all. The door, I thought and sprinted over to it. I clicked the lock. I could hear him trying to get open the lock.
"ELLE!" He screamed and slammed his shoulder against the door. "Sorry dad!" I yelled back and scrubbed my skin raw. The red paint would not come off. It had somehow seeped into my skin. "JACE HERONDALE!" My mother yelled. I smirked. He was going to get his hide whooped. She was a big believer in personal things, and space. He stopped trying to get in.
"My darling?" My dad asked. His higher pitched voice gave him away. "Jace. Elle needs personal space. You can't command her as if she was a child. She is 14 years old. She needs her space." I smiled at my mother. "Clary, she's late for school." I panicked at that one. The one thing my mom believed in more than personal space was school.
"ELLE!" My mom yelled and seraphed my door. "Man, mom." I groaned. She looked at me and freaked. "YOUR HANDS!" "It's paint mom. It is tempera, though. Oopsies?" I smiled my little kid smile. She looked at me and shook her head. "Go to school." She said and walked out of the room. He looked me over and pointed towards the door.
I looked at my outfit. It was on Rain had chosen for me. It was ripped boyfriend jeans with a tee-shirt that said, Bangers world tour, 2014. Probably not the best thing for my dad to see. He grabbed one of my many hoodies and threw it at me.
I took the stairs two at a time and sprinted down to the kitchen. My aunt Izzy was there with Rain. "Hey, cuz. Looking fantabulous." She said and threw a piece of toast at me. Aunt Izzy looked me over. "I still can't believe it." She muttered and continued killing whatever was in the pan on the stove. It was too black, burnt, and shriveled up for me to guess. I shuddered as I imagined the person stupid enough to eat that. "Gawd, mom." Rain sighed. "Lets go, princess." Rain's older brother yelled at us. Rain sighed and muttered "boys."
I blushed as I remembered the big crush I used to have on Ryan, Rain's older brother. It was hard not to have a crush on him. I mean, we live in the same house. So, we were always around each other. His dark eyes and dark hair made him to hard to resist. I still remember when I asked my mom about Ryan. She crinkled her eyes. She was about to laugh when she remembered the feelings of an eight year old were at stake.
"Boys." She had said and plopped down onto the couch. She looked at me and brushed one of her red curls out of her face. Did I mention I am totally jealous of my mom's red curls. Her and my grandma both have them. I have my dads gold hair, mixed with some random white. It makes it look like I have washed out golden hair. I got my dad's eyes too. They were the weirdest amber color. But there is no denying it, I'm the biggest mommy's girl there is.
I was interrupted from my beautiful flashback by Ryan picking me up and slinging me over his muscled shoulders. "What the-" I was cut off by him throwing me shot-gun into his car. Rain sighed from the back seat and pulled out her phone. Her fingers were flying over her IPhone's keyboard. I ignored her and watched the trees Ryan sped by.
My phone vibrated against my butt. I pulled the IPhone with a cracked screen out. I winced at the sight of my nice phone wrecked. It had been my fault though. I had taken it into training with me, and it slipped out of my bra when I was flipping. Mom had been so mad, but dad just laughed.
There was a new message from Rain. I unlocked the phone and blushed as I read the message. She had written; So obvi u 3 my bro again ;p. I gasped and leaned over the seat divider that separates the front from the back, and slapped her knee. She looked at me and grinned. I watched as she pulled out her phone. I can't say I was surprised when my phone went off when she hit send.

O grow up Rain ~Elle
NEVER! ~Rain
"You girls realize you all are texting on group chat, right?" Ryan asked. I looked at Rain. We both fell silent. After watching her eyes, and her watching mine, we gave up. We burst into breath stealing laughter. I was crying laughing.
