My name is Clary and I am 17 years old. I live with my mum and my brother Jonathan, and I love them both to bits. My dad died when I was 11, and it hit me really hard. I got into some stuff, but I don't really want to talk about that right now.
So, after living in Wales all my life, I have to go and live in New York. My mum's boyfriend, Luke, lives there. Don't get me wrong, I really like him, but sometimes it kind of feels like he is trying to replace my dad. But I am really happy for my mum and him, because I know it really hurt my mum when my dad died, so I am glad that she is moving on. Then, there is my brother Jonathan. We have always been really close as siblings, and we don't really fight, unless it is about my social life. He is EXTREMELY overprotective, and he likes to do a background check on every single boy I even look at.
By the time I wake up, we are already at the flat. "Come on ginger." My brother teases, knoeing that I hate it when he calls me ginger. I roll my eyes, and step outside the car. The building before us looks nice, and it seems that every flat has a balcony, which is nice. We go up endless flights of stairs, before we finally get to the flat. But when we get there, there's a surprise waiting for us. "Jonathan," My mum says. "I know that you are very responsible, and 18 years old, so right now I trust you and Clary to have an apatment to yourself." Me and Jon look at each other with wide eyes. "Thank you so much Mum!" I say while wrapping her in a tight embrace. Mum goes to her flat, and we have a flat right next door. Jon opens the door, and I am conpletely astounded. There is a kitchen straight on the left, and a music area on rhe right. Then, straight ahead there are three doors, which turn out to be my room, Jon's room and a spare room. We both have bathrooms, which is a relief. I go into my room, which is absolutely massive. Ot has a four poster bed, with a dresser, a wardrobe, a desk and a door. (Which is my bathroom.) Most of my stuff isn't here yet, but I have all of my clothes. I have to start a new school in two days. Wow. I have no problem with making friends, it is more to do with what friends I choose. I see Jon in the kitchen. "Hey bro. What do you want to do for dinner in our new flat?" I asked. "Order pizza, and have a movie night?" He said. I grinned. "Sounds like a plan." At that exact moment, I get a phone call from mum. "Hi, what's up?" I said. She asked Jon and I to go down to her flat. We go downstairs and knock on her door. Mum welcomes us in, and I suddenly realise there four figures on a sofa behind mum that weren't there before. "Clary, Jonathan. I would like you to meet thr Lightwood family. Me and Maryse have been very good friends since before I could walk." My mum said. I remember them. I think. Not entirely sure.
"I am Maryse, and these are my children." This lady said. She was very pretty and tall, with icy blue eyes, but they held nothing but kindness. "This is Alec, my eldest." Alec was tall, with lovely blue eyes, but he seemed almost sad in a way. "It's a pleasure to meet you Alec." I said. He looked up and smiled at me. He seemed so much nicer when he smiled. "This is Isabelle, my middle child." Mayrse said. "Thanks for the amazing introduction Mom. Call me Issy." She said to me and Jon. This girl, Issy, is absolutely stunning. She had raven black hair down to her waist, and she had stunning brown eyes and a lush figure. "It's a pleasure." I said. We both exchanged smiles. "And this, is my youngest minx, Max." This kid Max must have bren ten years old. He had short brown hair, and had his head stuck in Naruto. "Might guy," I said, and his head shot up. "You read Naruto?" He said. "Yes! Best comic ever." He smiled at me. Aw, he was so sweet. He reminds me of my own friend back in Wales, Simon. "It's a pleasure meeting you all." Jon said. We were both taught that manners get you everywhere. "Do you guys go to ShadowHunter High?" I asked. Alec and Issy both nodded. After a few minutes of talking, the Lightwoods left. Then Jon and I went back to our flat to have pizza and a film night. It was epic.
Time skip - First day of school
My first day at ShadowHunter High. Wow. Can't wait. My car isn't back from Wales yet, so I have to walk, take the 'subway' or get a Taxi. I decided to get a taxi, so much easier. I pulled up to ShadowHunter High with Jon. We both looked at each other. Then, we walked in.
