Prologue
The stars shimmered above two teenagers as they laid down to gaze at them. They were both on a blanket holding each other's hands in the grass. The girl looked over at the boy, distracted by the thoughtful look on his face, when she started remembering how they ended up like this-together.
She and him have always been friends since the first day of kindergarten. He sat all alone in his corner playing with tiny cars when she came up to him.
"Hi," she said a little shy of another kid.
The boy just glanced up at her.
She tried again. "May I play with you?" Giving him her biggest puppy dog eyes. No one can resist those.
"Okay. Just don' break em, Shorty." The little boy handed a few cars to her as she started pouting because of the nick-name.
It wasn't until eleventh grade that he finally gathered up the nerve to ask her out. Of course she said yes immediately having discovered she has feelings for him too last summer. Even after two years they were still going strong. Still in love.
When she felt a squeezing on her hand, she was pulled back into reality.
"What were you smiling at?" His eyes reflected a million stars. Oh she loved him so much it almost hurt.
She returned his squeeze with the same amount of pressure. "Nothing. Just how much you continue to amaze me with all of these dates."
Turning back to the night sky, she could feel him chuckle a little bit, "Glad you're impressed." Then he looked at her and said, "I love you Clary Fray."
"I love you Simon Lewis."
Everything seemed perfect. Not a care in their minds. Nothing could have ruined that night.
But sometimes, love can be blind.
