CPOV:

I enter the school building looking my best as usual. My name is Clarissa (Clary) Fray and I am one of the Queen Bees of the school. Idris Shadowhunter Acadamy is a large school. There are at least a million students here. Maybe more. And they have 3 Queens. Well, we all have different statuses but we rank the highest. I am the Queen. My best friend, Isabelle (Iz, Izzy) Lightwood, is the Princess. Maia Roberts, our other friend, is the Duchess. We have no kings or princes or dukes. We only rule. Girls only. And everyone listens to us. We are some of the richest people in school. You can tell who's the richest through our rankings.

Izzy and Maia immediately meet by my locker. Izzy compliments me on my outfit. I'm wearing a Plein Sud Strapless Top- black, a Sally Ruffle Broderie Anglais Mini Skirt- black, Burberry Metallic Trench High Heel Sandals, and carrying a Christian Louboutin Mini Loubi Lula Clutch in satin. This is one of my favorite outfits. Maia is wearing something so much simpler. Skinny jeans and a green top. Izzy is wearing a black dress, black heels, her red pendant she never takes off, mascara, Versage Bright Crystal perfume, ruby red lipstick, and carrying a Christian Louboutin clutch.

I get out my math book and we head to the other girls' lockers to get their books. After we get our books we go to homeroom. The bell rings and we sit in our desks. We're always right on time. Iz starts the conversation first. "Remember how we got a few new students the other week? Since last week was the first week we were supposed to get all of our new students, right?" We nod our head in agreement. She continues. "Well, there is a new student. And apparently he's hot. I only caught a glimpse of him this morning. But damn. If I couldn't date him, he'd make a good one night stand." She licks her lips. "Must be sexy." I say. She nods enthusiastically.

Students start filing in. Guys gape at us and we give the occassional wink or smirk to the hot ones. We have a good deal of hot guys actually so its rather fun. There is Jordan Kyle, Jonathan (Jon) Morgenstern, Sebastian Verlac, Sebastian (Seb) Morgenstern, William (Will) Herondale, James (Jem) Carstairs, Gabriel Lightwood (Izzy's cousin), Gideon Lightwood (Gabriel's older brother), Alexander (Alec, Izzy's gay older brother by 4 minutes) Lightwood, Magnus Bane (Alec's boyfriend who is bi), Nathaniel (Nate) Gray, and Meliorn Fey. And apparently a new guy. Simon Lewis is also cute but I wouldn't call him hot. Izzy does though.

Everyone sits in their seats and the tardy bell rings. The teacher, Amatis Herondale (married to Will's Uncle Stephen for 3 weeks), stands in front of the class and tells everyone to shut up. "Shut up! We have a new student in our class. I want all of you on your best behavior. Especially you three." She points as us. We give her our innocent and confused look. She sighs. "The only available desk is beside you, . Please, don't behave badly or I will have to call your father. Like last time." She says. I smirk. There's a knock on the door and the door opens. A very sexy, godlike boy steps into the room. He has gold hair, gold eyes, and skin so tan it looks gold. Damn, he's a golden god. Izzy wasn't kidding. I look at him from his toes to his head. He's well built and looks like he works out often. Perfect. Just my type.

"Everyone, this is Jace Wayland. Jace, you may take a seat over there by Clarissa. She's the one with red hair." She goes to the board and writes down instructions that no one pays attention to as Jace looks for his seat. Some sluts are drooling over him. He smirks at them and they look ready to jump him right then and there. The guys look ready to kill him. I probably don't look much different. This is my turf. There can only be one player and that is me. He sits beside me and flashes me a perfect smile. I glare back. I lean in close and whisper in his ear. "This is my turf. I am the Queen of this school. I rule here. I'm the player. There are no more players here except Maia and Isabelle. You don't have a choice. Find your own spot and rule it, but this is my land. Always has been, always will." Then I lean back and see his shocked face. He looks at me and nods his head but I see that he's lying. Looks like there is a new victim for the player. Because on my turf, I get all my victims.
