Quick fact about me: My cat's name is Frankie Fritty Frat Nancy Grace Adele Neil

(Adele as in the singer and Clary's middle name)

The alarm clock blared it's siren that sung unending throughout the room. Clary rolled over and flipped a pillow over her head in an attempt to drown out the wake up call from hell.

At that moment, Jocelyn ran into Clary's bedroom with her hands smashed against her ears while she screamed ,"Turn it off, Clary! Make it stop!"

Clary lifted the edge of the pillow off her head, only ten did she realize how loud the alarm really was.

"Oh my gosh! Mom I'm so sorry! I didn't remember to take it off the music dock last night and it was at a high volume. I'm sorry." She ran over to her mother to give her an apologetic hug.

"It's fine, but don't let it happen again. Come get breakfast." She said as she grabbed Clary's hand and guided her to the kitchen.

"So, it's a big day. It's your first day of high school. Do you feel more superior yet?" Jocelyn asked after serving Clary a plentiful breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast.

"Well, I don't feel extremely wise beyond my years at this point in time but ask me again tomorrow. After her mom told her to go get dressed, she raced up stairs with a stark smile on her freckled face. Clary had had her first day of school outfit picked out two weeks prior, and she decided it was her most stylish outfit she had probably ever picked out.

She put on a pair of distressed dark wash skinny jeans and a simple black V-neck T shirt. She slipped on her maroon high top Converse and slid a few silver necklaces on. One in particular was a silver chain with a ring strung along. The ring was embellished with a pattern of stars with an M etched into the inside, for the sole purpose of the wearer to be left with an M indented onto their finger after wearing the article. Clary liked the idea but she never really understood why she owned this piece of jewelry because none of her or her mother's initials had any M's in them.

She quickly grabbed her backpack and ran down stairs to say goodbye to Her mom.

"Bye, Mom! Don't drink another sleeping potion without my supervision!"

That was their little inside joke. Once when Clary was 7, Jocelyn had a cold and took two doses of cough syrup, which would knock you out with only one dose. When Clary came home from school, she saw Jocelyn passed out on the couch and she was slowly falling onto the floor. Clary tried to shake her awake, but she wouldn't move so elementary age Clary thought her mom was dead. She called 911 and within for next half hour, Jocelyn was in a hospital bed and don't wake up until almost 2 days later. Ever since that day, they've had their own inside joke.

Clary ran out the door, but not before saying goodbye to her cat, Church, and walked to her best friend Simon's house to ride with him to school. She knocked on the door and he answered wearing a Big Bang Theory t-shirt that was printed with Sheldon saying "Bazinga!" He grabbed his Star Wars messenger bag and yelled for his sister Rebecca to meet him at the car so she can drive us.

When we get out to the car, he turns and looks at me with a hopeful look flashing across his face.

"What? What is it? Tell me what you're thinking?"

"So, I was thinking. We're in high school now and I'm allowed to date. And you probably know that I've had a crush on you since we were kids." He explained to Clary.

"You're scaring me Simon, where are you going with this?"

"I'm asking you if you'll go out with me, Clary?"

"Simon, I'm sorry, but I can't. I love you, but I love you like a brother."

"Well, at least it was worth a try!" A disappointed expression crosses his face. Clary reached over to touch his hand as a reassuring gesture.

"We're in high school now so let's enjoy it while it lasts!" And at that final note, they sped off to their new school that they'll be spending the next 4 years at.
