This is my first fan fic so please review and give me helpful criticism.

Clary's POV

I was the girl everybody knew. Not always for good things but then I thought everybody knowing you ,even if it is for bad reasons, was better than nobody even noticing you. Boy was I wrong.

Two years ago my boyfriend broke up with me and I lost everything: my popularity, my so called 'friends', my dignity to show my face in school. I don't know why I held onto Sebastian so much but I guess it's because everybody,including me, thought we were perfect together and would grow up together and have a perfect life and live happily ever after. Like they do in fairytales. I didn't know until then that fairy tales are meant to teach us something.

My own brother started shutting me out. Had to keep a reputation he said. Like everyone else he thinks I'm a freak. That night I barricaded myself in my room and cried and cried. I mean he dumped me by text. That is a little cruel, if you're going to break up with me at least say it to my face.

I went to school the next day trying to pretend I was fine yet still thinking at least I had my friends to cheer me up. Everyone was hostile to me like I was the new kid. I soon made friends with the new kid, Simon, but it did take me a week to get over it.

I stopped being a rebel and tried to get the teachers to like me. None of them did. I think they all remembered the pie in the face prank where I wired a lot of things to shove pies into the face of the teacher. I was always a nerd so I passed my GCSE's with flying colours. Unfortunately all my old 'friends' somehow got into the same college as me. I'm still betting their parents bribed the government being all high and mighty. And snobby.


So now I sit at the front of the class twirling my hair and half listening to Mr Dieudonne lecture us about atomic bonding. I'm actually texting Simon and Maia but hey what Mr Dieudonne doesn't know can't hurt him. The bell rings for lunch and I am ready to shuffle out of this classroom like I always do the closest to the door yet always the last one out. I am surprised when I get to lunch and sit down to feel a tap on the shoulder.

"What do you want now?" I grumble half turning to find Jace, the school hottie, staring at my artwork. My face must show I'm surprised as Jace chuckles and then starts staring at my face. I immediately scramble and shove my artwork into my bag and sit back.

"You shouldn't do that. Your sketches are beautiful."

"What do you want?" I ask again raising my eyebrows, I've never got just one, and completely ignoring what he just said.

"I would like to sit with you?" He asks almost nervously.

"Is this a trick or something you jocks do to poor helpless nerds like me?" I inquired.

"No I'm simply asking if I can sit with you." He answered getting more annoying by the minute.

"Well then you can't." I stand up to walk away but Jace grabs my arm and yanks me back to face him. So of course at that exact moment Miss My Daddy's so rich I can do what I like and Miss I'm Queen of the School aka Kaelie and Seelie walk through the door and barge straight up to Jace.

"Jacey what are you doing with this," She nods her head to me, "piece of junk." Her voice is so fake sweet and she's trying to do a seductive one. Trying but failing.

"Good to see you too!" I say with fake sweetness in my voice only an idiot wouldn't pick up on.

And of course because my life is so perfect as I turn to go Seelie or as I prefer Miss I'm Queen of the School dumps spaghetti sauce on me and to wash it all down a cup of coffee.

"Hmm. You know when people say they need a showler this is not what they mean," I then tap Seelie on the head,"might want to get in your miniscule brain."

I then go and stride out of lunch hall making an impression. No one noticed the tears trickling down my face.
