Chapter 1 Clary's POV
"CLARY GET READY THEN GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE" I heard Jonathon scream from downstairs.
"Ah come on 5 more minutes?" I begged. This time Sebastian replied
"NO WAYNOW HURRY UP!" Ugh it was way to early and I was up most off the night. Luke flew out New York 2 days with his wife daughter. So yesterday we decided to throw huge party. I threw off my covers and got ready. Once I was all done I took quick glance at my self in the mirror. Since we are keeping the house we just left all the furniture and just bought new furniture for the new house. I was wearing a plain white top with gold studs at the end of the sleeves with black jeans and some sktch +3 beige wedge sneakers. I made my make up look natural and had curled my hair a little more to make it look nicer. I was done in a record time of half an hour. I grabbed my blue and white luggage and my matching backpack and sprinted downstairs.
"Finally the cabs waiting come on!" said Sebastian. I rolled my eyes and we headed to the cab. But just before we got in we all took one last glance at the house. Hell calling this place a house was a understatement. This place was HUGE!
There were 10 bedrooms plus 6 master bedrooms with their own bathrooms, 5 bathrooms, a indoor and outdoor pool, a mini movie theater, a yoga room, and a gymnastics room. Plus a game room, my music room, my art room, my cousins play room, both of my brothers gyms, stables for the horses, a garden with a fountain in the middle, a tennis court, a soccer field , and a basketball court. We also had huge trampolines for me, a place to ride/race the horses, a library, and all the other things a regular house had.
I was going to miss this place but our new house was even bigger! It had all this plus a couple more rooms and all of the rooms are even bigger. But I was still going to miss it here. I really didn't want to move that much even if we're going back to New York. I still remember when Luke told us that we'd be living with him in California.
"Okay listen I know this is going to be hard but you guys got to stay strong. And I know you guys can do that. So you guys will be living with me from now on. So all of you will be attending shadow hunter high school. Now does that sound good?" he asked we all nodded then ran upstairs and slammed our doors to say we didn't want to be bothered. We didn't have a actual conversation with each other for awhile. One of the only times we talked was to fight and yell. It took us awhile to be okay with moving across country, leaving our friends, and starting a new school.
Just then John put an arm around my shoulder and said "can't believe it was only two years ago we found out we'd be moving here and living with Luke." I laughed a little remembering a few hours after that. "Yeah and after a while we started fighting. I remembering screaming at you two to give me back my phone and you guys said not until I give up the room to one of you. But instead I just beat you two up till you gave me back my phone!" We turned around and then got in the car. The whole ride we talked about when we were kids and all the fights we had and how much trouble we'd get in and all our family barbeques, until we arrived at the airport. We got out of the car, grabbed our luggage and paid the driver. After that we checked in our luggage, went through security, and went and found our gate. "Hey I'm gonna go buy some stuff anyone want anything" I asked John and Seb. Seb said he just wanted some gum, something to eat, and a coffee, and Seb said he'd have the same thing.
I went to the nearest store and bought two magazines, three packs of gum, and a pair of sunglasses since even though New York wasn't as hot as here it was still summer. After that I went to the Starbucks they had at the airport and ordered two coffees and one smoothie. I also got three sandwiches and a bunch of snacks since I knew we're going to get hungry and it's a really long flight. After I paid I went back to my brothers with four bags full of food, two coffees, and a smoothie in my hands. Once I made it to them I must have looked like I was about to fall over cause they both laughed at me then ran to help me. We each got our food and stuffed them in our backpacks.
After about 15 minutes first class was called so we all stood up and went to stand on line. Since John said he was going to sleep most of the flight so me and Seb took the seats next to each other. "Are you excited for our new school?" Seb asked me about an hour into the flight. "Yeah but I'm a bit nervous too. I mean I'll have to do really good if I want to stay there." I told him. Since the school was different then the others I had went to so of course I was nervous. You could only attend Idris High if you talent. Mine is art, music, soccer, and gymnastics. John's and Seb's are football and basketball. I was surprised once I got in because I knew that there is a bunch of other kids who are really good to. "Hey it'll be okay you're really good and besides you have Simon, Jordan, and Glittery Magnus there!" he reassured me. That had totally slipped my mind I thought. They are my best friends, Simon, Jordan, and me have been best friends since Kindergarten. We met Magnus when he came to our school in 6th grade. I only ever had 1 friends which was Chloe. She was the one who got me wearing heels and makeup. I only had the 3 of them till I moved. Most girls try to be my friends but most of them are just trying to use me to get to my brothers. I gave him a smile and said " I totally forgot they all got in!" I said excited. Me and him spent the rest of the flight talking about school, all the pranks me and my friends played on him, and throwing things at Jonathon to try and wake him up. At one point a flight attendant came over and told us to stop disturbing the young man over there. We laughed and told her that was our brother and that there was no way he would wake up. She smiled and said that she has a brother herself and she told us not to let her stop us. After she left we continued to throw stuff at our brother and him finally waking up and yelling at us. After what seemed like forever we finally landed. New York from the sky looked just like I remembered it. The bright lights and huge skyscrapers. I found out I was right to buy all that food cause we ate every bit and still felt kinda hungry.
I got up and tried to get my luggage but failed. John saw me and grabbed it and handed it to me. Then the boys got their luggage and we went to go grab the luggage we checked in. After we did that we called Luke and he said he was outside. I then walked outside and signaled for my brothers to follow me outside. Once we got outside we looked for my uncles Porsche and we finally found it.
Then Luke came out and hugged us all. We put our luggage in the trunk and hopped in the car. After 15 minutes of Luke yelling at us because he got a call from one of our neighbors saying we had a party we stopped at a gigantic house. It was almost twice the size of our old house. Luke brought in all the luggage and told us we would be going to school next week. Victoria also came up to me and told me I had two huge walk in closets in my room. She then gave me a credit card and said " here you can go buy yourself another wardrobe. Try and get your mind off moving back here k? Just don't tell Luke about the credit card." I smiled and thanked her. I then ran upstairs and found my room and quickly got ready and then collapsed on my bed. I fell asleep thinking about my mother and father that night.
