Clary's POV:
I walked into school and walked to my side of the hall. Yes you heard me right, I said 'my' as in it's mine... Well the Morgenstern side. Ok, so let me explain my name is Clarissa Morgenstern, but everyone but my Dad calls me Clary because Clarissa makes me feel like I'm old even though I'm only 16. My brothers are Jonathon and Sebastian Morgenstern, my Mother is Jocelyn Morgenstern and my Father is Valentine Morgenstern but your probably wondering what all this has to do with the whole split hallway thing.
So the Morgenstern's and the Herondale's have had this ancient feud for as long as anyone of us remember. My great, great Granddad has been fighting with the Herondale's for years, it was even happening before he was born and nobody can remember when it started or why we just, I don't know hate each other. I mean I have to say William Herondale is by far the most annoying, irritating, smart-assed, cold-hearted, man-whore of a boy I've ever met. He may look like an angel on the outside but he's a complete cold-hearted jerk on the inside and everyone see's that once he opens his big god-damned mouth.
So how this relates to the whole split locker and hallway thing is that everyone in town has a side, your either with us or your against us. If your with us people normally call you a Morgenstern but if you not your most likely to be a Herondale or new and haven't decided on a side yet. Families like the Lewis or the Garroway Families have been on the Morgenstern side for Generations.
My best friend is Simon Lewis. Families like the Lightwoods have been with the Herondale's for nearly as long, us Morgenstern's (well except Simon and me really) call them the traitors because the where on our side but they ran to the Herondale side when the going got tough. I think Simon and the Lightwoods daughter Isabelle have a thing for each other but if your on one side you don't really date or socialise with the other. Really I think the whole thing is stupid why turn a whole town against each other because of some petty little fight that no one can even remember want its about, well at least I don't think anyone remembers.
I got my books out of my locker and head to the assembly hall. I walk to the Morgenstern side. Yes, We have sides for everything, clubs, classrooms, pubs , shops and we even have two principles. I mean its completely stupid because if I see something nice that I want to buy but its in a "Herondale" shop then I have to get over it because I can't go in to buy it.
As I sit down I see a really cute, no scratch that a really H.O.T.T hot guy that could only be described as golden, literally, golden blonde hair, a golden tan, and eyes that looked like pure gold, he literally look perfect, he was standing by the door waiting... Hmmm he must be new here I haven't see him before.
Then the assembly started and I tuned most of it out it was just the normal start of school stuff, like the school rules and that you have to listen in class and study and do your best and what the teacher tells you, blah, blah, blah... Then he started to tell us about the new students well not there names or any information on who they are or if they need someone to help them around the school just that there was three of them and they came back from a boarding school in England for boys that they have been going to for the past few years and that they are in my class.
I know one of them is Alec Lightwood and another is Jordan Kyle but I didn't know who the third one is but I guessing he's the golden boy I saw earlier, I'm going to call him that 'cause I don't know his name yet. I feel like there's something interesting about him though. Speaking of Golden boy, I look around and our eyes lock neither of us breaking eye contact. I was completely lost in his golden eyes and we only broke contact when we heard the principles say that assembly was over and we could leave... finally.
Everyone was walking to their classes. I was the last person to walk out as always because I'm so short I just get pushed to the back in the rush to leave the boring assembly. As I was walking I walked into something or should I say someone. ''Em, sorry" I say. ''Red, you don't have to fall on me to get my attention''. I look up and see golden boy smirking and winking at me. ''Wow arrogant much''. His smirk falters a bit before he recovers and says ''So do you want to show me to my class or have me walk you to yours like a gentleman, Red?'' "Wow your a gentleman now, are you? Hmm let me think, No thanks'' ''Come on, Red, do you know how many girls would kill to be in your position''. ''No, but if you want someone to walk you to class sweetie maybe you should ask one of them''. I wink and walk away making sure to sway my hips, that little extra as I make my way class. I smile as I hear him mumble something unintelligent about 'a feisty redhead' and walk away looking to find his classroom.
~Time Jump~
I've gone through the whole first week of school now, with only brief encounters with the Golden Boy. But it's Saturday night and since the first week of school is over, there's a start of year party. One which everyone, no matter what side there on can come to and I hope to see golden boy again. He's caught my interest and I want to see if I can figure out why.
~Skip to Party~
I can't really remember how much I've had to drink but I notice golden boy sitting in the corner alone and decide to make my way over to him. We start to talk and I find out a few things about him. His name is Jace. He's been going to boarding school nearly his whole schooling life and now he's living with his cousin's. He likes to read and he does lots of sports. His favourite colour is white because he likes the purity and calmness of the colour (he did flirt that green like my eyes was his favourite colour at first though) and he likes to have everything clean and in order. He told me he's a very organised and smart person even though he mightn't look or act like it. I spent most of my night talking to him until I felt like it was getting too late and I knew my parents would want at least one of their children to come home tonight and I know it won't be one of my man-whore brothers.
