If any of you guys follow my other story, I just wanted to say I'm so sorry that I haven't updated! I having been really ill and have been going back and forth to the doctors and the hospital. It doesn't help my computer broke and it has the next 6 chapters on it (I think 6, anyway), and I don't want to have to redo them. It is going to get fixed soon so don't worry. While I am waiting for that I borrowed my sisters laptop so I can start a new story to keep you occupied. Please don't give up on me and I hope you enjoy this story!
My sincerest apologies

"LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Screamed Eric, one of the temporary camp councilors, from the DJ booth. I had to laugh, that kid might have been a good DJ but he was absolutely bonkers!
Anyway, my names Clary. I'm 16 years old and am one of the new camp Councillors here at IDH, or Idris Holiday Camp. Never heard of it? Well, it's basically a camp for families, couples and children alike. Its split into 4 sections; section 1 was for the owner - Mr Morganstern, i.e. My dad - and his special guests. Section 2 equaled the family section with cabins for families of 3 and upwards. Section 3 was the romantic holidays section, where couples could relax without the stress of children. And section 4 was for group Holidays - when you go with friends and not family - and the councilors. There were only six teen councilors; Me, my brother (Jonathan), Isabelle and Alec Lightwood, Magnus Bane and my least favorite, Jace Herondale. There were other teens staying, like Aline Penhallow, who didn't want to be a counselor because it was 'Too much stress and effort!' She decided to stay with her best friend Kealie Fey in section 4. But if you ask me, she's only here to see Jace. Last year they had a thing and Jace broke it off and now she probably wants to get him back, I don't really know. I don't like getting involved with drama.
It was the first day of summer and everyone was stoked! The weather was amazing and everyone was just in a generally good mood. Which was surprising since we all drove around 4 hours to get here. It was almost time for councilor karaoke. It was one of two nights when the councilors could just relax and join in with the festivities.
"Quiet'en down!" Announced the head councilor, after the music had died down. "I would like to take a minute to welcome all you newbies to camp. My name is Valentine. I'm head councilor and owner of this fine establishment." There were a few cheers, here and there for my dad. "So Tonight, we're going be doing something a little different. Instead of our usual singers, we are going to let the spotlight decide." People began cheering as the spotlight went back and forth between the councilors. One of them stopped on Jace, and the other... Oh Lord Forbid, stopped on me. "It Seems our two favorite soloists are going to do a duet for us all. Give a round of applause for Jonathon Herondale and Clarissa Morganstern." My father moved from the microphone, still clapping. I sent him a death glare but he just winked at me. "Ass." I mumbled under my breath.
As I made my way to the mic I felt someone breath down my neck. "So Red, what do you wanna sing?" Whispered Jace.
I ignored his attempt of flirting and said, "How about..."

I followed Clary over to the stage, trying not to laugh at the glare she was sending her father. I went right up to her and whispered in her ear seductively, "So Red, what do you wanna sing?"
She began to blush, making me smirk at her. She leaned forward, making my breath catch. "How about..."
When we told the DJ, Eric I think his name was, what song we planned to sing, he grinned at us and gave Clary a thumbs up. What's all that about? I thought. Why did I even care?
"Ready?" Clary questioned.
"Oh, I was born ready!"

Whoa-uh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-uh-oh
It's always a good time
Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time (Whooo)
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room, hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time (Whooo)
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try,
It's always a good time.
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try,
It's always a good time.
Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there
Doesn't matter when,
It's always a good time then
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try,
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try,
It's always a good time.
By the time the song was over, we was panting from the effort we put in to the song. Oh, and all the jumping around we did. I smiled genuinely at Clary. After slight hesitation she smiled back. The crowd was going mental but the only person I could consecrate on was Clary and her beautiful smile. She began to blush and averted her eyes. Shit I was staring!
"Wow... That was amazing! I think it would be in everyone's best interest if you two do a duet for this years competition! What do you guys think?" Ask Valentine, now addressing the crowd. Everyone began screaming for a duet.
I turned to Clary, speaking into the microphone so everyone could here, and asked, "So what do you think Red? Do a duet with me?" I winked at her for good measures.
She grumbled something about being pressured into it then, put on a huge smile and said "Sounds fun. Why not?" The crowd went crazy but I just felt a bit upset that the smile was fake. It just didn't reach her eyes.
"Next up is..." Said Valentine, waiting for the spotlight to choose someone. "Jonathon Morganstern!" Valentine announced whilst suppressing his laughter. I headed off the stage after Clary, Passing a very flustered looking Jonathon. Jon had an extreme case of stage fright
All the campers sat in anticipation. They probably expected him to be as good as Clary. As if! Clary is just... Perfect! Where did that come from? I brushed the thought off as we walked up to our group of friends. "That was so good guys!" They all congratulated us.
Not long after Jons music began and he started singing.
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh
Seen this place before
Back when I young and I had something more to prove
Now that I'm older I've seen all the things that I want
And I'm ready to make my move
We'll stare straight-faced, don't hesitate
See, why would we want to make you bastards wait
Thank god, I got this chance, now I can say
So now we'll say, we'll say
We're gonna do what we want!
By this point everyone one was dancing and singing along. I have to hand it to Jon, He has a mean set of vocals! I got lost in the music and was oblivious to the world around me, including the lustful looks from the slutty girls and shockingly some of the boys! I stayed there all night, lost in the music of the performances. Trying to ignore the thoughts of that certain redhead.
CPOV
"Hey Jon!" I called to my brother as the party began to end. "You were amazing up there!" I gave him a huge hug. "Since when did you like Sleeping With Sirens?" I asked curiously.
"Well, since you would let me change the CD in your car." He said accusingly.
"Not intentional." I said with my hands up in mock surrender. "Would you have proffered my Evanescence CD?"
"You know what, forget it. What do you want? I know you didn't call me over to discus my preference in music?" My big brother asked, his voice laced with concern.
"I was wondering if you could ask someone to walk with me over to the cabins? They're on the other side of camp and I don't want to walk there on my own. Not after last time!" I whispered, afraid someone would over hear.
Jonathon was about to reply when someone behind me said. "I'll take her. Don't want the princess getting lost."
Not a very eventful first chapter. But hope you guys like it so far. Get the next chapter on tomorrow hopefully...
