AN: Hey guys, this is slightly different to some of the other fan fictions I have written but please give it a try and if you don't like it then please give me your view on how to improve. Anyway I'll leave you guys to it and I hope you enjoy.

Clary's point of view

I heard the all familiar beep beep beep of my alarm clock telling me to get up.

I groaned and muttered "Piss off you stupid thing."

But of course this obviously didn't work so I pushed myself up only to find that my pet dog Samson was already on my bed giving me kisses to wake me up.

I muttered to my golden Labrador "Samson get off me. I'm awake now!"

My dog for once actually obeyed and jumped off my bed as I pushed my alarm clock button.

As soon as I push my duvet back from my bed I remember that it is my first day at Idris High School and that once again I'm going to be the new kid. School had started last week but I was only just about to move here then so by the time I was ready to move it was Friday so I had to start new today.

I should tell you about me first shouldn't I?

My name Is Clarissa Adele Fray, but I prefer to be called Clary instead of Clarissa. I am sixteen years old and I'm going to be starting 11th grade in about two hours. My mother was Jocelyn Fairchild and Valentine Morgenstern. I never knew my father so I don't have his last name and my mum's last name was never classed as mine either and she also took the name Fray after my dad died. I also have an older brother called Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern who is now in his first year of Divergent College studying music with his band. I have bright red curly hair which even I can't control and bright emerald, to big eyes. I am also fairly short only just hitting the 5ft5 mark (Which I consider very unfair considering my whole family are mostly at least 5ft11/12)

I currently live with my foster family the Priors. My foster parents are Natalie and Andrew Prior. Natalie is a blonde haired woman with hazel eyes and she looked very beautiful for her age. Andrew is a brown haired and blue/grey eyed man who was just average looking bloke but apparently he was handsome when he was younger. They have a son Caleb who has Andrew's dark brown hair but Natalie's hazel eyes and mostly Andrew's features. They also have a daughter Beatrice or Tris as she prefers to be called. Tris has her mother's long wavy blonde hair and sharp and beautiful features but her dad's blue/grey eyes. Both kids are in my year but I'm still younger then both of them.

Anyway back to me, when I was seven my mother died in a house fire. Since then I have been in five different houses and the Prior family is my sixth. In the five houses I have previously stayed in, let's say I made a great punching bag and I also made a great target for glass bottles and knives. I now have a fair few scars to prove my story; one in particular runs right from my right shoulder near my neck right down to my left hip. Yep, that's strapless and backless dresses out of the bag for me, not that I wanted to wear any dresses anyway but still it kind of sucks.

My brother Jon is probably one of my closest friends even if he is my brother as well. I have very bad trust issues so I don't have that many friends really. Well I have a few like Simon who is my new best friend and nerd friend too, Maia who is one of Simon's friends who actually seemed nice to me.

I have also been kicked out and moved away from a lot of schools. My biggest problem is that I have ADHD so I always have to do something, I can't just sit still and be patient and it also gets me into a few fights from people (Normally sluts or the really hot popular boys) who judge me and try to take something of mine (Ah, the perks of being small).

As you can probably tell I have been a new kid way too many times for my liking but this time it was different, Jon wasn't going to be coming to school with me and he's not even at this house.

I remembered my conversation with him last night on face time.

As soon as I came online Jon set up a conversation and he smiled at me and said "Hey Fireball, what's up at your end?"

I smiled back and said "Not a lot really, what about you?"

Jon laughed and said "Same as you really, you all ready for tomorrow?"

I shrugged and said "My bags all packed and everything but I'm really nervous Jon."

Jon said reassuringly "Clary, you can do this without me. You're the strongest person I know and I really do pity anyone who tries to bully you my ninja sister."

He calls me his ninja sister because I used to take up different types of self-defence and attack lessons with physical abuse like punching and kicking to other stuff like fencing and other stuff like archery and knife throwing and places to kill or injure someone.

I smiled and said "Jon if you tried properly then you could be a ninja too."

Jon looked fake hurt and said "I'm a ninja, I just haven't got my certificates yet that's all."

I joked "Just tell me when you do then BB" (BB stands for my nickname for him Big Bro)

He laughed as his roommate said "We're going for tea now, you coming?"

Jon was about to say no and I could tell he was so I said "Go Jon, have dinner and some fun, maybe you'll meet a nice girl you know."

"Delilah, I might not talk to you for a week though." He argued back. He called me Delilah because my mum used to call us Samson and Delilah when we were little. Hint on why I called my dog Samson.

I shook my head firmly and said "I don't care Jon; it'll give us more to talk about then. Now go before I decide to go to your room and kick your ass all the way down to that dining hall or restaurant. I'll see you at half six on Sunday okay?"

He looked like he wanted to argue but he knew better than that so he nodded and said "Okay Fireball, I want to hear all about it okay?"

I nodded and he said "Bye Fireball, be brave!"

I smiled encouragingly and said "Bye BB see you next Sunday. Wow am I glad I didn't say Tuesday now."

Jon laughed before closing his line down and leaving me with only a small part of his laugh hanging in the air.

At the moment I wish that Jon was here to help me get through the first day but I knew that he couldn't.

My Labrador hates to be ignored so he snapped me out of my dream by licking my face and then shoving his head into my hands.

I laughed at him now wishing that he could talk or turn into a human and I made a fuss of him saying "Oh who's a handsome boy? Is that you? Oh yeah of course it's you."

I then climbed off my bed and walked with some difficulty (With something named Samson to blame) to my wardrobe to grab some fresh clothes.

I ended up pulling out one of my pairs of black skinny jeans and a black top with a picture of a girl with a chainsaw on it. I pulled on my black converses and started to tie up my blood red shoe laces.

Once I had got dressed I went out of my room and walked into the large kitchen. Natalie was already up and as I walked in the room she smiled at me and said "Morning Clary, how are you?"

I smiled back as best as I could and answered happily as I could muster "Morning, I'm fine a little nervous but not too bad. How about you?"

Natalie smiled and said "Oh I'm okay. Are you taking the dog out?"

I nodded as Samson wagged his tail excitedly at the words 'dog' which meant him and 'out' which meant that he was going for a walk.

I grabbed his lead; I left the massive house without another word.

I walked down the semi dark streets of New York wondering about school.

I know that Caleb is very popular from football and basketball games and that Tris was popular from cheerleading and well, being a slut basically. And then there's me, a book worm and very nerdy apparently.

I got to a small park for dogs and let Samson off the lead which he automatically ran off to sniff at a plastic bag floating along in the soft breeze.

I called him and told him to come on and he followed me happily only stopping occasionally to sniff something.

When we had walked around twice I clipped Samson back on his lead and dragged him back to the house.

When I got back into the kitchen I saw Tris sitting at the table with her apple for breakfast with her makeup on and hair brushed already.

I rolled my eyes and got myself a bowl of Rice Crispies to eat and sat in the seat next to Tris.

Tris studied me as I sat down and asked disgustedly "You're going to school like that?"

I nodded and raised an eyebrow before asking "Why?"

Tris rolled her eyes and said "Because you need to look hot on your first day. First impressions Clarissa."

"Sorry that I don't want to dress up like everyone else Beatrice."

Tris winced and said threateningly "I told you not to call me Beatrice! It's Tris; otherwise you're going to get punched in the face."

I told her back "I told you not to call me Clary instead of Clarissa and I might break one of your nails so I wouldn't actually and if you don't care about your nails then I'd like to see you try."

Tris glared at me but I ignored her and finished my bowl and put it in the dishwasher to get washed.

Tris was still glaring at me when Caleb came in with his empty bowl and said "Get ready Tris, otherwise I'll ditch you and you'll have to walk to school." (Caleb can drive so he takes me and Tris to school and back)

Tris glared at me one last time before storming off and disappearing into her room.

I smirked at her door and then went into my own room to get my school bag.

Caleb followed me and asked "What's up with her?"

I smiled and told him of my conversation with Tris and he laughed and said "Good, she needs to stop doing that."

I smiled and then picked my bag up and said to Caleb "You ready to go?"

He nodded and yelled "Hey Tris! Both me and Clary are ready so you better be ready in five."

I smiled slightly as Tris came out with her bag and said "I'm actually ready Caleb!"

Caleb grinned and yelled out to Natalie and Andrew "Yo mum and dad, we're going to leave now!"

Natalie came rushing out and said "What about pictures?"

Caleb and Tris groaned and Tris said to me "We have a first day of school pictures every year and then in our senior year we have albums full of stuff we did like certificates and tests are laminated and stuck in the photo albums too."

I laughed and then Natalie positioned us and snapped a photo of all of us together.

Caleb then dragged me and Tris through the door and we all got into the car and off we went to school.

When we arrived there I was almost glad to be at school. No offense to Tris but her singing and music gives me a headache.

Tris got out stylishly, flipping her blonde hair and batting her eyelashes at every boy who was watching us.

Caleb was next and a lot of the girls stared at us too, brilliant now it was my turn.

I got out of the car and saw that everyone was now starting to stare at me which made me incredibly nervous and self-conscious.

I mean I gathered that Tris and Caleb have told a few people about me but not everyone like this.

Caleb smiled at me and said quietly to me "School office is just to your left, you better go soon or people will bombard you with questions."

I smiled back at him and then I looked at all the different faces and then back at Caleb and whispered "Better go then bye."

He smiled reassuringly and said "Bye."

I took a breath and started to walk towards the front office hoping that I wouldn't make a fool of myself.

I could feel eyes following and judging me.

I felt even more alone and I wanted to just turn and run all the way to Jon but instead I told myself that Jon believed in me so I could do it.

I raised my head and straightened my back so I looked less self -conscious and weak. And slightly bolder and stronger.

I then heard a voice I recognised as Simon's yelling out "Hey! Hey Red, wait up!"

I stopped and waited for Simon to catch up trying my best to ignore the stares that me and Simon were now getting.

When Simon got to me he grinned at me and said "So Fray, what's up?" he slid one of his arms around me as he said this which made me feel like I had known him for years.

I smiled back and said "The sky."

Simon looked confused and then laughed as he got my comment and said "Nice one Fray."

I smiled and said "Thanks Lewis."

"No problem my lady." He responded as well as a cheeky wink.

I hit him on the arm gently and said "I'm okay anyway."

Simon nodded and said "Good, I'm fine too thanks for asking."

I lost my smile and said "Oh sorry Si, I forgot to ask you that."

Simon grinned and said "No problem my lady, did you enjoy the first day stares?"

I laughed and shook my head and said "Not particularly."

Simon nodded and walked with me to the office.

I walked up to the desk and said "Um Hi, my name is Clarissa Fray and I'm new so I need to get my timetable."

The office lady smiled at me and said "Hello Clarissa, I have it right here with a map of the school and welcoming pack, have a nice day. Oh and your locker is number 394."

I smiled back and said "Thank you, you too Miss."

Before I could look at my timetable, Simon had grabbed it out of my hand and was comparing mine to his.

Simon grinned and said "We're in the same homeroom, calculus, P.E and history class but the rest are different."

I grabbed my timetable back and glanced down at it and it read:

Clarissa Fray. 11th grade.

Homeroom: Mr Blackthorn, C04, 08:55-09:00

English: Mr Carstairs, A04, 09:00-10:00

Homeroom: 14:20-14:30

Biology: Mr Taylor E05, 14:30- 15:30

History: Miss Tori, D06, 15:30-16:30

I sighed and said "At least I'm with you for some of the day."

Simon nodded and a bell rang and he said "Off to our homeroom then my lady?"

I grinned and said "Let's go then slave."

Simon laughed and we walked to C04 together talking about his last week at this school and the past two years that he's been here.

When we got to the room C04, Simon smiled reassuringly at me and said "Good luck."

I smiled at him as the teacher came over to us and sent Simon to his seat which was next to a beautiful black haired and charcoal eyed girl.

The teacher turned to me and said "So you must be Clarissa yes?"

I nodded and said "Yes sir but I prefer Clary if you don't mind sir."

Mr Blackthorn smiled and said "Clary it is then, well Miss Fray you haven't missed a lot really. All you need to do is introduce yourself to the class. Tell them your name, what you like to do and maybe a little about your family."

The whole class was staring at me. I glanced at the teacher before clearing my throat quietly and saying "Um hi my name is Clary Fray, I like art and reading. And I am currently living with my foster family the Priors."

The whole class gave me weird looks and Mr Blackthorn said "Welcome to the class Clary Fray, why don't you sit in-between Mr Herondale and Mr Eaton."

He pointed to two really hot boys but I could tell that they were the devils not the angels.

One had short and either very dark brown or black hair and very nice blue eyes, his was probably about 6ft something and his skin was pale but not as pale as mine, and the other one had longer, curly golden hair and almost gold/amber eyes too. He also probably reached the top end of 5ft to the lower 6ft mark but his skin was also a golden tan colour.

I smiled at Mr Blackthorn none the less and then walked towards the seat that Mr Blackthorn had pointed me to.

I squeezed past the dark haired boy and sat down in-between the two boys who were both staring at me as though they were sizing me up.

I glanced behind me to look at Simon who smiled sadly at me and then made a face which I had to try not to laugh at.

I faced the front again and started to drum my fingers on the table because the two boys were still staring at me.

The blonde person then spoke to me "Hello, I'm Jace Herondale." He held out his hand which had scars running across it.

I was still looking at his hand as I said "I'm Clary Fray." I then came to my senses and took his hand lightly before letting it go and blanking him out again.

The dark haired boy then said "I'm Tobias Eaton, or more commonly known as Four."

I inclined my head to show him that I had heard him before ignoring them again.

Both boys looked at each other over my head and said "Nerd!" together and in sync.

I glared at the table but then I forced myself to relax otherwise you'll be kicked out of a school again and have to start at another one.

Also Jon believed that I could last a whole year without either a fight or detention.

I found my fingers playing with my necklace chain. It was a pure solid silver and it had a small gravestone box on it, which when you click a button then it opens up and there's a little girl laying inside in a dress but in her hand she is holding a dagger like the ones me and Jon have from our mother and father. Jon had brought me it so I could wear it to school and it would remind me of him.

I could tell that Jace and Tobias had seen my necklace so I quickly dropped it and I was extremely glad when the bell rung for the end of registration a few seconds later.

Simon was at my row before I could even make it to the end of it.

Simon glanced at Jace who was behind me and then he smiled down at me and he said "I swear you were taller five minutes ago Fray."

I smiled back and said "Hello to you to Lewis."

Simon grinned as we got out of the classroom into the busy corridor.

Simon then asked me "Where do you have English next?"

I checked my timetable and said "Umm A04 apparently."

Simon nodded and said "That's awesome; I'm in A05 so I'm right next door to you so I'll meet you outside your class room okay?"

I nodded and I had to fight to keep up with Simon and his incredibly long leg strides.

When we got to the classrooms Simon muttered in my ear "See you in hell Fray."

I grinned and answered with "Ditto Lewis."

And then I followed the rest of the class into the room.

I was sat in the back corner next to the same girl who Simon had sat next to in homeroom.

Her name turned out to be Isabelle Lightwood and Jace was actually her adoptive brother, and she had another brother named Alec and a younger one named Max.

I told her a little about myself like that I had a dog and a little about my adoptive family.

We were studying poetry for this half term and we had to make notes about what to include in poetry.

Next it was art which was one of my favourite subjects. Guess what put my mood down?

Yes I had to sit next to Jace Herondale again.

Today we had to draw something that we love the most.

Most people were drawing their families and friends but I only really had Jonathan.

I decided to draw a picture of one of my favourite photos of me and Jonathan. It was us at our house when we had just painted our rooms and we were covered in paint, we also had our arms wrapped around each other tightly and we were both laughing at what mum had told us to say for the camera.

I started to sketch out Jon's face and I barely noticed that Jace was poking me until he jogged my pencil line to make Jon look like he has a gruesome scar across one cheek.

I looked up and glared at Jace and asked him angrily "What's your problem?"

Jace looked at me smiling and said "I was going to ask you if I could borrow your pencil sharpener."

I glared at him and said "Fine but put it back straight away after you've used it to sharpen your drawing pencil."

Jace looked at me curiously but I ignored him and studied the damage that Jace had made me do to the face.

It was easily erasable luckily for him so I started to gently wash away the line from his face.

As soon as that line had disappeared from view I started to work on the face again, trying to get Jon's big smile in the right position.

I felt Jace poke me this time so I asked again "What?!"

Jace asked me "Who is that in the photo?"

I rolled my eyes and went back to drawing Jon which now I had his mouth right wasn't that hard.

Jace kept poking me wanting me to answer his question so I eventually said "Why do you want to investigate into my private life? Is it really just to calm your curiosity?"

Jace looked at me and said "How about if you tell me who that is I'll take you on a date?"

The bell rang and I shut my sketchpad and put all of my belongings into my bag and then just before I left I said "How about no." and I walked away leaving a very confused Jace standing behind me watching me walk away.

I got out of the classroom and walked down to my locker to put some of my books away in it and get my Calculus book out.

I wondered with the crowd afterwards to where I presumed was the dining hall.

I scanned the room and found Simon sitting at a table with Maia and a few other people, and he was waving at me.

I slid in-between tables and people mumbling apologies as I got pushed into people.

When I reached their table I sat next to Simon who asked me "How was art?"

I answered "Okay except I'm next to Jace Herondale again."

Most of the people groaned and Maia said "Poor you Clary."

I looked at the people I didn't recognise and Simon then said "Oh Clary you haven't met the others yet have you?"

I shook my head and a few of my red curls fell into my face from my ponytail again.

Simon then introduced me to Jordan, who I have Calculus and P.E with, then there was Nick who was Jordan's friend luckily I don't have any lessons with him at the moment as he's a bit creepy. Then there was Uriah who I had every lesson with, and then there was Marlene who I had biology and Calculus with. And there was Lynn who was with Marlene as well.

So I have quite a few friends now. I think that Uriah is probably the best one out of everyone new who I have met because he talks to me like he's known me for years.

I was lucky to have these people to be with at least. I then felt a tap on my shoulder so I turned and saw Caleb, Jace and Tobias standing behind me.

I decided to ignore Tobias and Jace and focus on Caleb.

I smiled at Caleb and said "Hello."

Caleb towered over me even more when I was sitting down so I was forced to look almost vertically up to even see his face.

Caleb smiled down at me and said "Hello, how's the morning been?"

I shrugged and said "Okay, yours?"

Caleb shrugged back and said "Not too bad, what have you got next lessons?"

"Calculus and P.E, you?"

Caleb grinned and said "See you next period then little sis."

I smiled and asked "Where's Tris?"

Caleb nodded over to a bunch of sluts and I saw Tris sitting among them and I said "Oh, that's where she is."

Caleb laughed and said "You haven't killed anyone yet then Claire Bear?"

I shook my head and said "Nope, not even injured anyone yet. And Claire Bear? Seriously that's what my …" I faded off as I thought of one of my foster homes but I came back and said "Don't worry actually, that was just a blonde moment for me there."

Jace chimed in and asked "Can reds have blonde moments? I thought that they'd have red moments."

Tobias laughed but Caleb shook his head and ignored Jace and asked me "You're okay as well?"

I nodded and said "Yes Caleb I'm fine, why don't you go chat up some of the 'hot' girls over there?"

Caleb considered it and then said "Bye Clary, I'll check again at lunch."

I rolled my eyes and faced back to my friends who were staring at me.

I asked them lightly "What?"

Marlene spoke admirably "Clary, why was Caleb Prior talking to you so nicely?"

I said "Um he's my foster brother at the moment and Tris is my foster sister. Why?"

Marlene turned to Simon and said "And you forgot to mention that she was a foster sister of one of the hottest guys and girls in this entire school?"

Simon shrugged and said "No big deal Mar."

Marlene was trying not to kill Simon so I saved him by saying "Marlene please don't kill Simon, I told him not to tell anyone because I know that people do this when I have hot foster relatives."

Marlene glared at me and said "Okay Simon, Clary has saved your ass this time but next time you'll be dead okay?"

Simon nodded and then the bell rang for the end of break. Uriah came up to me and linked his arm through mine and then he said "Let's go then Lady Clarissa."

I rolled my eyes and said "Whatever Uriah."

He dragged me through the hall ways and we eventually stopped outside a classroom which read B16 on it and he led me into the class and said to the teacher in a posh voice "Hello Mrs Nightshade, I would like to introduce you to Miss Clarissa Fray and Clarissa this is Mrs Nightshade."

The teacher rolled her eyes and said "Can you take Clarissa to her chair and do you have a shorter name that you prefer Clarissa?"

I nodded and said "Most people call me Clary Miss."

Mrs Nightshade nodded and she sent me to the seat next to Uriah which was empty.

I slid next to Uriah who said "Hello Lady Clarissa, how are you on this fine morning?"

I smiled and went along with his joke "Why hello Lord Uriah, I am absolutely spiffing on this very fine morning, how do you fair good lord?"

Uriah smiled and said "Mighty fine myself thank you my Lady."

We both burst out laughing but stopped when the teacher was talking.

P.E was horrible, we had to play netball. Don't get me wrong I don't mind sports and other stuff I just hate netball, gymnastics and dance. Who created these things? Personally I think it was Satan himself but my brother always told me off when I said that out loud.

Lunch was next (YAY!) so I got my food and walked carefully to the table we were sitting at.

Simon and Uriah were laughing at my concentration which didn't help it really.

When I got to the table successfully without spilling it or tripping over something I glared at both of them to shut them all up.

Whilst eating I saw Isabelle Lightwood sitting outside on her own.

I muttered to Simon "I'll be back in a bit okay?"

Simon nodded and I stood up with some of my food and walked towards Isabelle sitting on the grass underneath the big oak tree at the edge of the school grounds.

I walked over to her and said "Hey, you okay there?"

Isabelle looked at me curiously and asked "I'm fine, now what are you doing here?"

I sat next to her and said "Where's your friends?"

Isabelle glared at me and answered "I have no female friends, my friends are boys and they ignore me most of the time."

I looked at her and said "Fine then I'll be your female friend then."

Isabelle glanced at me and said "You won't want to after you hear what I've apparently done."

I argued back "I don't care what you've apparently done, most of them are just stupid rumours and your life can't be too bad really."

Isabelle glared at me and said "Your sister put you up to this didn't she?"

I raised my eyebrows and said "One she's not my real sister, she's my foster sister and two she hates me because without her high heels I'm taller than her and I wear no makeup either and my clothes are too black so I think I'm here by my own will thanks."

Isabelle smiled slightly and said "You promise me that you're not lying about being my friend?"

I smiled back and said "I swear on the angel that I am not lying about being your friend."

Isabelle smiled and said "So what happened in your life then?"

I laughed and told her about my family and my foster families and my pet dog Samson and my brother Jonathan. I even told her that most of the foster families abused me and Jon which made her look sad but like she understood me.

I asked about her and she told me about her family with her three brothers and only one female in the family except her. Then she told me about her cat Smokey and her collie Harry and her Dalmatian cross chocolate Labrador Dylan.

I asked her as the lunch bell rang "So we're friends now?"

Isabelle smiled and said "Clary and Izzy, best friends for life and if there's a life after that then best friends through that too.

I laughed and said "Ditto Lightwood."

Izzy guided me to the homeroom as Simon had already left by the time I had gone back to find him.

As Izzy took her place next to Simon in homeroom I slumped in my chair in-between Jace and Tobias.

Both boys raised their eyebrows at each other as I glanced at my timetable and saw that I had biology and history next.

Jace then asked me "So Clarissa how was your lunch?"

I had to try not to wince as he said my name, and I asked him "Did Caleb tell you that?"

Jace looked at me confused so I explained "My full first name."

Tobias then said "Yes Clarissa, he did. Why do you want to know? It's none of your business."

I narrowed my eyes at both of them and said "It is my business if my foster brother is telling his stupid idiotic friends my full first name without me telling him that he could."

Jace said "Stupid and idiotic mean the same thing basically."

I rolled my eyes and said "I could say a lot more words but as we're in the classroom I think that it's best not for me to yell them out."

Jace was confused again and Tobias then asked "What are the words then Sweetheart?"

I winced at that nickname; one of the people from my old foster homes had called me that. His name had been Eric and he was two years older than me and he's also the one who gave me my scar across my back.

I dug my barely any fingernails into my palms as I said "Well a few were man whores, arrogant, dickheads, players, not very modest and the rest involve me yelling so I will not say those words."

Jace then said "Why did you wince when Four called you Sweetheart?"

I glared at my hands scolding myself for wincing and showing some emotion to these two idiots whilst saying "That is for me to know and for you to never find out."

Jace said "So what about that photo and I'm still keeping up my offer of the date you know?"

I looked at him disgustedly and asked "Why would I go on a date with you?"

Tobias burst out laughing at Jace's confused face and then asked me "What about me?"

I looked at him back disgustedly too and said "The same question goes for you too if that's the case."

Both boys were now staring at me as though I was an alien. I asked them lightly "What? Have you never been rejected before?"

The bell rang so I got up and left the two boys staring after me looking confused at why I wasn't drooling over them probably.

I found my way to biology and I took a seat next to Uriah. Marlene and Lynn soon came in and sat at our desk with us.

We all sat there and worked for the whole lesson barely talking, well my friends did, I finished most of my main work within twenty minutes and all of the extensions work in another ten so I got out one of my smaller sketchpads and started to casually doodle in it.

I ended up drawing a girl with just longer than shoulder length, brown, wavy hair and brilliant green coloured eyes.

Uriah saw me drawing and snatched out from underneath my hand and staring at the picture.

He then looked at me and said "Clary, this is amazing!"

I blushed at his words and said "Um… thanks I guess."

Uriah was now showing it to Marlene and Lynn.

Marlene looked over Uriah's shoulder at me and said "That is so amazing Clary."

Lynn just nodded her head at Marlene's words and smiled slightly at me.

I smiled back and said "Really guys? That's honestly just a random doodle."

Uriah gaped at me and said "I am seeing your real artwork at some point. And it's not your choice either."

I rolled my eyes and said "Fine but at least text me before you magically show up please. Otherwise Tris might end up dragging you to her room."

Uriah laughed and said "I wouldn't mind that. Ouch!" as I hit his arm not too hard but hard enough to get him to shut up.

I gave him a pointed look and said "That was my foster sister you were talking about there."

Uriah considered this and said "Okay I'm sorry for saying that but it doesn't mean that it's not the truth."

I laughed and said "Apology accepted and that's granted considering you're a boy."

Uriah grinned and then went into a conversation with Marlene about something which I just blanked out and started to carry on with my drawing again.

History came next and guess what; yes I was sat next to Jace Herondale and Tobias Eaton again.

Yay, lucky me. Not.

I honestly swear that the whole world has decided to conspire against me in this lifetime.

I took some notes on how the white American's managed to get the Indians to go west.

Jace and Tobias had apparently forgotten completely about two words called 'Personal Space' and were either leaning behind my chair to talk to each other or they talked over my head but I could feel both of their breathes ruffling my red curls as they spoke to each other.

I was now getting pretty pissed off by the both of them so I eventually snapped at them "Have either of you have any idea what the words personal space mean?"

Tobias and Jace shook their heads and said "Nope."

I glared at the table again but i said instead "That would explain why you have to keep leaning behind me or closer to me to talk to each other."

Jace stared at me and asked "You have a problem Red?"

"Yes actually Goldilocks I do!" I snapped.

"Oh what is it?" asked Tobias.

I glared at the table again which I kind of felt sorry for now and I shut my mouth and dotted my 'i' so hard I ripped through the piece of paper.

I now glared at my hands and scolded myself for getting so worked up about this.

The bell rang a few minutes later which made me jump up and speed walk into the hallway before Tobias and Jace could say another word to me.

I found my locker and shoved some of my other books inside that I needed for homework and then I left and walked out of the building to try and find Caleb's car.

I soon located it and I started to make my way towards the brand new car and I murmured apologies to everyone I accidently knocked into on the way to the car.

When I got to the car I saw that Caleb, Tobias and Jace were standing there waiting for me and Tris.

I nodded at Caleb who then said "So Clary how's your first day here?"

I shrugged and refused to say anything to Caleb whilst Jace and Tobias were there.

Jace was staring at me and he asked me "So Clary did I make your day any better?"

I shook my head without returning his smile and I decided to ignore his comment to Caleb about how my hair looks like it had been set on fire.

And of course Tris came up at that moment and started flirting with Jace and Tobias by agreeing with them about my hair and saying how it was almost the colour of cherries and would probably taste like one if you ate my hair.

I stood there as my new family and their friends all crowded around us and eventually I said "Actually don't worry I'll walk to the house."

Caleb looked at me surprised and he said "But Red it's a mile away from here."

I shrugged and said "Good job I like walking then isn't it?"

I then walked away from all of them and walked through the bright lighted, lively city.

I ended up in a street where I noticed there was a book store which my mum's friend Luke ran was still open.

I pushed the door open and heard a small bell tinkle in the back somewhere.

Luke emerged from his little house to shop doorway and smile at me as he recognised me.

I grinned back and said "Long time no see Uncle Luke."

He had already made it around the counter and was pulling me into a tight hug which I instantly returned.

Luke pushed me to his arm's length and said "Yes Clary it has been a long time, too long in fact. How are you?"

I smiled and said "I'm fine, started a new school today and I'm living with the Priors at the moment. How about you?"

Luke nodded and said "We have the whole Skulduggery Pleasant series in here now Claire Bear."

I smiled and said "Really? Can I get them out?"

Luke smiled and said "Sure thing Claire Bear, you want me to get them for you now?"

"Yeah please, it'll give me some time to read them then."

Luke smiled and disappeared before handing me a whole stack of books which I used to love reading when I was younger.

I slid them into my backpack and then gave Luke my card for him to stamp and he said "Bring them back soon Claire Bear and have fun at school."

I smiled at Luke and said "Sure thing Uncle Luke and I'll try to have fun."

Luke smiled back before the door swung shut separating me and Luke from each other.

I followed the path home and got there in just under ten minutes and somehow I still beat Caleb and Tris home.

I went straight into my room and I took out my homework and sat on my bed doing all of it including finishing my art portrait of me and Jon covered in paint so I only had to colour or shade it in for the rest of this week. After my art homework I had none left to do before starting to read the first book of the series.

After reading the first two and a half books it was time for dinner and we had lasagne.

I managed to eat about half of my proportion before I felt sick and ill so I stopped eating and sat there waiting for Andrew to dismiss us.

He did soon and then he said "Clary, could you wait here for a moment?"

I nodded and waited until it was just me and him left in the room.

Andrew then asked me "How was school?"

I smiled as best as I could and said "It's okay, some ups and some downs but overall it's okay."

He looked seriously at me and asked again "And you're happy here?"

I nodded and said "Yeah it's a lovely place here."

Andrew nodded and said "Go do your homework then."

I answered automatically "I've already done it."

Andrew looked at me and said "Oh well then do whatever you want then Clary."

I smiled and nodded before heading to my room with Andrew following me.

I heard Caleb yell out "Hey Dad can Jace and Tobias sleep round on Friday?"

I froze as I heard Tris then yell out "Yeah dad! Can Aline and Kaelie sleep over too?"

Andrew sighed and yell back "Yeah whatever, do you want any friends to sleep round Clary?"

I shook my head and said quickly "I'm fine thanks." And I shut my bedroom door behind me quickly wondering why the world was now conspiring against me.

I took out my diary like sketchpad and I opened it to a new page and I slowly began to draw the school building and I made it show my emotions about how I felt about starting my new school.

After I had finished I signed it and put today's date in the corner of the picture and I shut that sketchpad and then picked up my favourite fantasy one with pictures of fictional characters or dragons and brave knights.

My favourite drawing out of this sketchpad was probably the one of a young girl with long waist length wavy hair, and emerald green eyes staring into the mirror. She had pale skin and a small smatter of freckles. Basically that is how I wanted to look like if I had to keep my hair and eye colour. Anyway she was wearing a black leather jacket and in the mirror you could see her black strappy top and black skinny jeans which tucked into thigh high black boots. The only difference about her was that she had long, black, slim angel wings coming out of her sides/back.

That was probably my favourite drawing of most of mine except the one of me and my brother and mother all together in Central Park. The angel girl drawing was also my latest actual proper drawing that I had done

I stopped on that drawing again to admire it one last time before turning to my next clean page and I started to draw Skulduggery and Valkyrie with their blue and purple flames lighting up their faces with a bluish purple light.

By the time I was finished it was quarter to twelve at night so I decided to go to bed and have a shower tomorrow morning.

I got changed into my pyjamas and then climbed into my soft sheets hoping that tomorrow would be a better day but knowing my luck, it was only going to get worse.

I soon fell into a dreamless sleep for once and I finally managed to get a decent night's sleep for the first time since I have started living here at the Prior house and just before I fell asleep my last thoughts were I think that my life could be so much worse at least here I'm safe and I fell loved and protected even if Jon isn't here. And maybe I can make it through the whole school year without being in a fight.

AN: I'll leave the story there for now as this chapter is already pretty long. I hope you guys all liked it and please let me know what you thought of it in your reviews and if you want to read more of my fan fictions then I have two Mortal Instruments ones called The sketchpad and Rogue. Please read and review all of these stories and I'll be very grateful to all of you. I hope you all liked this chapter and the next one may not be up for a while. So until next time guys bye!
