Hey, it's oceanwriter356. This is my first fanfiction, so I would appreciate your feedback. Anyway now that the introduction is over and done with let's get on with the story...

Clary's POV

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!

That's the sound that everyone despises in the morning. The sound that rips you from your perfect dreams, where everything is all sunshine and rainbows. Anyway, enough procrastinating it's time to get up.

It's the first day of summer today. I guess you could say that's a pretty good thing. It's the time when people throw parties, get wasted and live life as they like to say.

Let's just say... I am not one of those people.

Instead of doing whatever another person my age does, I spend my time in the ocean, surfing. It's my passion. It's my life. Just sitting on the beach, listening to the waves, is enough to calm me from the stresses of the day. But... my favorite part of surfing is lying on my board, out back and just listening to the water ripple around me.

I was told that my Dad was big into the surfing when he was younger but I have never met my Dad. Something happened to him when I was younger, so it's just my Mum and me.

Mum doesn't stop me surfing but let's just say, she doesn't particularly like me out surfing. Actually, she hates it, but since she knows how much I love it, she lets me. I don't know who or what I would be without surfing.

"Clary! Turn that God damned alarm off. Not everyone likes to get up at 6:00 am." My Mum shouts breaking me from my trance.

"Sorry!" I shout back.

I quickly turn my alarm off and force me out of my warm bed. I then walk over to my wardrobe and grab a bikini and a pair of board shorts. I quickly put them on and as quietly as I can, I go downstairs.

As I near the kitchen door, I hear the soft whimpers of my beloved dog Charlie, he is most likely sitting on the other side of the door, waiting for me to walk in. As soon as I open the door, I am sprung upon by him. I bend down and he immediately lies on his back, to let me rub his belly.

After my few minutes of horseplay wit, Charlie is over, I enter the kitchen properly and start making my breakfast (which is a bowl of cereal and a mug of pure black coffee)

When I finish eating, I do my dishes knowing that Mum would shout at me for not doing them. I then go out the back and grab my board. Soon, I have my board loaded onto my car and I am making my way over to the beach.

Not before long, I am pulling up at the beach. When I get out of the truck, I notice that's there is only one other car here, which surprises me. I live in Hawaii, which is pretty popular for the surfing but there is only one other person out. Wow! They must all be heading out later.

Their loss, it's always busier in the afternoon than in the morning. That's why I like to go earlier, plus I have to work in the afternoons in the local cafe Taki's.

I grab my board by the rails and set it on the grass. I then grab sex wax out of the car and start applying it to my board. When I am finished, I run over to the shop beside the beach with my keys and phone.

"Hey, Luke," I say as I enter.

"Sup Clary. You out to surf yeah?" Like replies with a smile.

"Of course. Just in to drop of food my keys." I say handing him my keys. I have known Luke since I was young. He is like the Dad I never had. Anyway, I met him one night when my Mum introduced him to me as her good friend Luke.

That's not the case though. Luke has a die-hard crush on her but she is too oblivious to see it.

"Okay, be safe out there. Remember to watch out for the coral reef and if you wipe out, cover your head. Oh also if you get a cut of anything like that, warn people around you that sharks might be there soon and get out of the water as soon as you can." I can't help laughing at Luke.

"I know Luke. You have told me since the first one you brought me out."

"I know. Have fun and remember don't let the guys bully you."

"Luke you know me. When am I ever known to let someone pick on me?"

"Fair enough. Now go have fun."

With that, I head out of the shop.

As I stand at the edge of the water, looking out at the oncoming waves, I start to think about the oncoming championships. The one chance that the local sports get the chance to get noticed by sponsors. This is the first year that I am older enough to enter. I will need to practice every day if want to get noticed so today is my last fun day, beforehand the hardcore training kicks in.

I shake my head, clearing my mind of my previous thoughts and I start wading my way through some of the whitewashes. When it gets deep enough I jump into my board and start paddling as fast as I possibly can. I am now paddling relentlessly and it is the constant war between sea and woman. As I see a huge wave about to crash over me, I quickly duck dive under, avoiding being throwing about like a play doll by the sea.

Finally, when I make it past the whitewash, I can now relax. I lie down on my board, catching my breath when I hear,"Yo Clary. What's up?" It's Josh.

I then sit up on my board and paddle over to him. "Hey, Josh. What's up, man? How you been?" I ask.

"Not much, a little bit of surfing and partying here and there. How about you? You are never at any of the parties."

"Do you know me, Josh? You should know by now that I am not a party person."

"Fair enough. Oh, did you hear about the new guy in town?" I shake my head at this. "He and his cousins moved from California, just a few days ago."

"Oh, fun. More people claiming that they can surf. Great!" I say, my voice laced with sarcasm.

"I know right," Josh says, whilst in a fit of laughter. "As long as they don't come to the cove they are fine."

"Damn right, they better not come anywhere near the cove. Knowing Kaelie, she will bring them there." I say the last part with a groan.

"Ugh! I forgot about Kaelie. Who should her the cove anyway?" Josh asks and I laugh.

"You did remember," I say, shoving gently as I say so. "I am gonna go catch some waves. Good sets coming in."

"I am stupid and not before I get them." With that, we both swing our boards around and start paddling for the oncoming wave.

As soon as I feel the wave hit the back of my board, I pop up and start riding down the face of the wave. I can see out of the corner of my eye that Josh has pulled back so they wave is now mine to rip.

I start off with a bottom turn and then straight back up to do a 360. Landing the jump perfectly, I do one last bottom turn before jumping off the back of the wave. I can see Josh giving me the shakas and not long after I hear a whistle, causing me to laugh.

What a perfect start to summer...

A/N: There you all go, the first chapter... I hope that you all enjoy it and is there anyway that you would like Clary and Jace to meet? maybe she should bump into Izzy through Simon. Let me now... the power is in your hands.

(I know that this next part is not an original idea, but I thought it was cool and I wanted to do it too)

Random Fact: I am a surfer.

What sports do you guys do and are there any fellow surfers reading this?

Until next time. xxx
