"I'll be fine mom." Clary nearly said with a shout

It was Clary's first year coming to Alicante Camp. She was kind of nervous because she was going to gone for two months which was practically all summer. Most kids her age have been coming here since they were young and she was coming here at age 16 so it will most likely be going to be hard for her to make friends.

"I know. I'm just really going to miss you." her mom, Jocelyn, said half choking on her words.

"Don't worry mom. I promise I will try to call you almost every night." Clary replied a little bit annoyed because her mom said that 500 times already.

"I know, I know"

"Come on Jocelyn! It's time to get going!" Luke, Clary's step dad, called out handing Clary her luggage.

"Bye Clary." Jocelyn said hugging and kissing Clary on the head. "Have fun" finally letting go of Clary

"I will mom. Don't worry, I'll be fine" Clary said while hugging Luke.

Luke and her mom got in their car and drove off. And that was it it, she was going to be here for the rest of the summer, no turning back now.

Clary walked a bit before she found the main lobby room containing all the rooms. She walked up to the front desk. The lady at the front desk was busy typing something onto her computer she didn't even notice Clary when she walked through the door. Clary cleared her throat.

"Oh, hello!" the lady said with cheerful voice "My name is Charlotte Branwell. Welcome to Alicante Camp. What is your name?"

" Clarissa Fray, but call me Clary" Clary replied a little bit nervously

"Well hello Clary! You must be one of our new camp leaders!" Charlotte said very excitedly.

"Yes I am" Clary replied

"Well here is your keys to your room. You're on the top floor. Room 48B. Second door to your left." Charlotte said a little less cheerfully.

Clary had to walk three flights of stairs before she reached the top floor. When she finally did she walked into her room and saw a girl sitting on a couch reading. She had long black hair and an unbelievable blue eyes.

She perked up when she heard Clary take a step in.

"Hi! I'm Cecily Herondale. You must be my roommate, Clarissa was it it?" Cecily said with a welcoming voice.

"Hi Cecily. And yes, I am your roommate, but please call me Clary." Clary said a bit shyly

"Well hi Clary!" replied Cecily, "Is this your first year at Alicante Camp. I'm not sure I've ever seen you around since I've been coming since I was 7. So that's about 8 years."

See! Everybody has been coming here since they were kids. Clary now for sure knew it was going to be hard at making friends here.

"Yea." Clary replied

Suddenly the door burst opened. A boy came in, one looking exactly like Cecily but a bit taller and older.

"Hey sis! The gang are meeting up at the Leaders Cabin in 10 minutes. You coming?" And with that the boy looked at Clary. "Who's that?" he asked looking at Cecily

"Will, this is my roommate Clary, Clary this is my big brother Will." Cecily introduced them

Clary and Will both shook hands.

"Hey, you're a leader too, right?" Will asked

"Yes" Clary said yet again, shyly

"You should come too. Me and Cece can introduce you to our friends." Will said

"Okay I'll be there!" said Clary excitedly.

Who knew Clary would be making friends so quickly already on her first day.

Ten minutes later Clary and Cecily were at the front door of the leaders cabin. Clary for some reason felt nervous. It must have shown on her face because Cecily noticed.

"Don't worry, Clary. You'll be fine. Everyone is super nice and friendly. Well, except Sebastian and Kailey. They are so freaking annoying and rude. Don't hang around them. Just hope they are not here." Cecily explained

With that Clary nodded and and pushed the door open. In the room was a huge flat screen tv, couches crowded with people, and a kitchen. Everyone had turned around to look at them when Clary recognized a familiar face. Simon!

Immediately Clary's face lit up and she saw that Simon's did to seeing Clary's face. He got up off of the couch and Clary ran over to him giving her a welcoming hug.

"I didn't know you went to this camp!" Clary said excitedly. "Why didn't you tell me!"

Clary and Simon have been best friends since they were five. She knew he went to a summer camp every year since he was about seven or eight years old but never knew what camp.

"When you told me you were going to this camp I didn't want to say anything and wanted it to be a surprise" Simion said while pulling away from Clary.

"Well guessing you know guys know each other," Cecily said interrupting, "I will introduce you to everyone else.

" This is Isabelle, Alec," Clary was guessing they were brother and sister since they looked so much alike with their black hair the only thing was that Alec had blue eyes and Isabelle had brown eyes, "Alec's boyfriend, Magnus," She pointed to a man with greenish yellowish eyes and he had glitter all in his hair, "Jem, Tessa," Jem had silvery eyes along with his hair which was an odd, unusual color, "Sophie," Sophie had long brown hair and would have been very pretty if it weren't for her scar across her face, "Gabriel, Gideon," which again Clary could tell they were siblings. Though Gabriel had brown hair hair and Gideon had a sandy brown hair, "Maia, her boyfriend, Jordan," Maia had light brown skin and black curly hair while Jordan had light color skin and beautiful hazel eyes, "Jace," Jace is what caught Clary's attention the most. He had golden hair and eyes and had skin that was tan but looked golden. She had never seen someone more attractive in her life she almost couldn't tear her eyes away but then she saw that he was staring back at her and she quickly turned her head away and slightly blushed, " and you have already met my brother, Will, and apparently you know Simon which you will have to explain to me now or later."

Clary waved to everyone and said hi and was greeted with a response of hey's and hi's back. That was a lot of people introduced to her at once but she remembered all of their names.

"Have you gotten your station yet?" the boy, Jace, asked.

" Um, yea. I got arts and crafts but didn't see who it was with." replied Clary

Magnus immediately respond, "OH! You're with me. At least you didn't get Sebatian or Jace's ex-girlfriend,Kailey. They are both real snobs and total a-holes."

Everyone nodded in agreement when someone suddenly bursted into the room. It was a girl with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Jacey!" the girl shouted while jumping into Jace's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Jace looked irritated and uncomfortable. "Get off of me Kailey." Jace said said sounding very irritated also.

Oh! So that was who Kailey was. Clary could almost immediately tell why everyone hated her. She seemed like one of those obnoxious annoying girls that are total freak girls. Clary didn't like it.

Suddenly out of nowhere words slipped out of Clary's mouth with no control.

"Leave him alone. He obviously doesn't want you and seem extremely irritated with you."

Clary suddenly wished she had never said anything because that drew all attention in the room on her and wished it hadn't.

"Who told your smart ass mouth that?" Kailey responded, "He obviously wants me. You're just some stupid new girl at this camp and have no idea what you are talking about."

"Kailey, shut up and leave Clary alone. I don't want you and I don't like you. Just get out of here." Jace replied still sounding very irritated.

With that Kailey did a hmph and stormed out of the room throwing one last glare at Clary and Jace.

"Damn Clary, who knew you could be such, such, a loudmouth like that?" Magnus said smiling at Clary.

With that Clary grinned back at Magnus feeling a bit less embarrassed by her outburst she had at Kailey.

"I didn't know that I could do that either besides standing up for Simon at school." Clary replied, though kind of wishing she hadn't said that last part because she saw Simon glare at her from the corner of her eye.

"How do you know Simon by the way, other than going to the same school?" asked Isabelle.

Simon was the first to reply. "She's my best friend. We've known eachother since we were five. I just never told you guys who my best friend's name was and who she was."

Clary for a second thought she saw a hint of jealousy cross Isabelle's face but it was gone before Clary could actually tell.

Everyone soon started to talk to each other. Clary kept on taking small, quick glances at Jace. She didn't know why though. Sure he was good looking but any girl can see that in Jace. When Clary turned around she saw that Jace was staring at her and she started blushing and looked away.

"How about I show Clary around the camp." Jace suddenly said to everyone.

"Sure" Clary responded.

And with that Jace got up off of the couch and led Clary outside

Clary and Jace for a moment where just in silence when suddenly Jace first spoke

"So you and my cousin are roommates, right?" Jace asked

"Cecily and Will are your cousin?" Clary asked

"Yea. I live with them." Jace said, "My mom died when I was born and my father was killed right in front of me when I was ten so they took me in and looked after me. That was also the same year I first came to this camp."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Clary said suddenly wishing she just said yes instead of asking that they were related.

"It's fine. That was seven years ago. It's not like you could have done anything about it."

Clary couldn't believe how huge this camp was. Clary loved the lake the most. It was so huge and beautiful. She was excited to go swimming in it. Jace lastly showed Clary the cafeteria since it was time to eat lunch.

Jace led Clary to the table where all their friends were. Clary and Jace both sat down. Jace sliding down next to Alec who in a conversation with is Magnus and Clary slid in between Tessa and Simon. Simon was deep in conversation with Isabelle just about to ask a question when she came and sat down.

"Hey!" Simon excited to see his best friend

"Hey" Clary replied back

Isabelle spoke up talking to the whole table "Are we going to go to the Spot tonight like we do every year?"

Everyone nodded with joy while Clary gave a confused look.

"The Spot" Tessa explained, "is this old abandoned part of the camp hidden in the woods. We go there every year and stay there until about one in the morning. We play a whole bunch of games like truth or dare and we just sit and talk about what happened after camp last year. We leave at lights out which is at 9 for us and head over to the campsite. It's fun, you should join us!"

"I most definitely will!" Clary said excitedly
