Clary

I groan and pry my eyes open once my alarm clock blares out "Ain't It Fun by Paramore".

My back is filled with cuts that sting from last night when Valentine threw a beer bottle at me while I was making pasta. I flinch when I touch them. I take a shower and blow dry my hair while looking at my reflection. Blood red curly hair, green eyes that are dark and light at the same time, and a small petite body. A small black bruise is decorating my cheek and a large cut on my lip barely starting to heal. I change into a red sweatshirt, white shorts, red vans and a white beanie. "Clarissa! I'm hungry, get your ass down here!" Valentine yells from downstairs as I run to the kitchen. I make eggs and I fry two pieces of bacon for him. I slide them on a plate and place it in front of him. "About time. Get an apple and get on the bus you freak." he yells at my face. I hurry and run out of the house forgetting all about the apple.

"Run Clary! Come on!" my best friend Simon calls me running a hand through his curly brown hair. "Coming!" I yell back. Valentine would not be happy if I miss the bus and he has to drive me. He would probably make me walk to school. I climb on the steps to the bus and walk down the aisle. On my way down the bus lurches forward and I fall to the left on top of a boy around my age. I look up to see a pair of bright blue eyes. "Um, hi…" I say. He smiles as I straighten up. "My name is Alec Lightwood. What's yours?"he asks me. "Uh, Clary. Clary Fray." I tell him. He smiles and we talk about school on our way there. When we get to school, we go to the office for Alec's schedule. "I need to catch up with my brother and sister. Bye Clary!" Alec says and we go our separate ways. I walk to my locker and twist the lock. It opens with a pop and I pull my history books on to my book bag. A group of girls walk by and say "Hey Clary!" Yea, you could say that I'm popular. But I don't want to be. They all like to be around me because of my "good looks" that everyone says I have. I wave and close my locker. My eyes get covered and I groan. "Guess who?" I hear a perky voice say. "Not now Aline." I mutter. Yes, a lesbian chick is hitting on me. "Aww, but Clare Bear!" she calls after me as I walk/run to class. I make it and leap to a seat near the middle. 'That was a close one!' I think in my head as I see Aline walk to her science class through the window. Suddenly, all the girls are gasping and giggling. I look up to see Alec and another boy walking in. All my attention was on the golden sex god walking into my history class. Alec spots me and tells the boy something. They start walking towards me and I realize that there are two empty chairs on either side of me. "Hey." Alec says and sits next to me. "This is my brother Jace. Jace, this is Clary. The girl who I talked to you about." Jace grins and shoves his hand out. I reach over the desk and shake it. His hand fit perfectly into mine. "Nice to meet you Clary." he says with a voice as sweet as honey. I smile and say "You too." The class starts and they both sit down. enters the room and starts with the lesson. "So, today we are going to talk about our presidents and their tasks. Who was the first president of the United States of America?" the stupidest kid in our class raises his hand and gets called on. Oh, boy."Ummm...SpongeBob Squarepants?" He guesses and the whole class bursts out laughing. I was literally sobbing of laughter. "I...can't...even…" I manage to choke out in between laughter to Jace who was red faced and chuckling. gives the boy detention and we continue the lesson.
