Love Story:

I don't own the Mortal Instruments

CHAPTER ONE:

Clary's Point of View:

I'm so nervous for today I used to live in New York, but now I have moved to Idris, Colorado. At my old school I was know as "That Girl That's a Really Good Artist". Here I want to be known for something more, like having a great personality, scoring the lead in a school play (I've never had the guts to go out for one of those things), and being artsy.

I got here a few days ago and I met a nice guy named Simon at a coffee shop. I think he likes me, but I only want to be friends. We like all of the same things like Manga, Anime, Star Wars, and Star Trek. My mom's really happy I've already made friends and thinks I'll do great here.

Oh you're wondering about my dad, well, he's not in the picture my parents got divorced after my brother (that I don't personally know) was born. I sometimes want to meet my dad, there is no pictures of him in my house, but mom has told me enough to know that dad's name is Valentine, and my brothers name is Jonathan. Apparently dad did some bad things to John when he was really little. And when my mom figured out what he did she ran away before he could do the same to me. I always ask her what he did but she won't tell me.

I didn't just move with my mom though, Luke my mom's friend came with us. He lives in Idris with us. At least we both know someone besides Simon. Luke was with my mom when she ran away from Valentine, he helped her get through it. He's also helped me with getting everything into my rom and Art Room. I painted my Art Room myself yesterday. It has forest green walls that I'll probably paint over with a nature scene. and a paint splattered esal with a skinny 24X6 canvas on it. My bedroom has a bed with a zebra print spread, a vanity that doubles as a dresser, and a full length mirror. I don't have everything I would need in my room yet because mom figured that since my other nightstand was so beat up we should just pick up a new one when we move. We just haven't gone shopping yet.

But enough of that, I need to get ready for school instead of thinking about all of this. I roll out of bed and wrap my dark green robe around my body and tie it tight. 'My bed was so warm' I thought to myself. I leave my room and go to the bathroom, I brush my teeth and hop in the shower. I let the hot water soak down to my core after I go through the routine of washing my hair face and body. I get out dry off, and rewrap my robe. When I get to my room I open my drawers to find a purple v-neck calling my name. I strap on a bra and pull the v-neck over my head. Then put on underwear and dark blue jeans, socks, and a golden locket that I love so much. It was a gift from my friend Sebastian, he gave it to me before I left. Tears soak my eyes while I think about missing him. I didn't really have too many friends there, because hey it's New York, people are "special". I start to wipe my eyes just as a knock sounds on my door.

"Come in," I say as I wipe furiously at them to go away before Luke or my mom sees them.

"Oh sweetie what's wrong?" asks my mom. even though I wiped them away she say the redness in my face. I grab my necklace with my left hand and hug my mother.

"Seb-b-astian," I croak out. She doesn't say anything just rubs my back comfortably and I am really grateful I don't want sympathy only time to knew I was missing him greatly. I pull away and say I should be getting ready for school, and she leaves me to my bedroom. 'No more tears you can do this' I say to myself. I sit down on the stool at my vanity and comb out my hair. Then I decide I should pull it in a long fishtail braid. I hate my hair, it is a color that looks more like a carrot than red. My mother has beautiful red hair and she's never dyed it once. Life is just no fair.

Instead of moping about how bad my life is I grab my brown leather messenger bag with all my school supplies, my phone, and coat. I look at my phone and see that i have a text from Sebastian.

Seb: Miss you tooooo much:(

I feel like I am going to cry, so I try to regain my composure and somehow one let one tear slide down my face. I wipe it off and reply:

Clary: Don't miss me… please. This is to hard for me to handle.

I send the message and see that Simond also texted me.

Si: Be ready in 5 minutes

OMG right I forgot that Simon was going to pick me up. She didn't even reply she looked in the mirror to make sure she looked presentable and dashed downstairs. I grabbed an klementine from the fruit bowl and a meal bar from the pantry and looked out the window. He wasn't here yet. I walked into the living room and see Mom showing Luke something out of the newspaper.

"Hey Clary did you hear that next week there is a Fall Festival?"

"Um no Mom, see you later," Clary kissed her mother on the cheek and hugged Luke. Then she looked out the window again, saw Si, and shouted that she was leaving.

Time to start her first day at Idris High.
