Chapter 2 Life Sucks
~Clary~
"Come on, Clary. Wake up. It's time for school."
"Go away, mom."
"Get up. I don't want to have to tell you again."
In my half-asleep/half-awake state, I grabbed my pillow and chunked it at my mom without opening my eyes to see if it hit her. I smiled to myself when she let out an "oomph" sound.
"That's it. I've had enough."
I thought she was going to finally get the hint, but I was way off. She grabbed me by the ankles and pulled me out of bed. I sat up as soon as I could breathe again, seeing as the force of the drop knocked the air out of me.
"What the hell was that for?"
"Oh good. You're up. Get dressed," she said, completely ignoring my anger.
I really don't want to go to school. After Sebastian died, I went into a depressed state. It wasn't depression, though, so I couldn't be prescribed anything to dull the pain.
People were talking about me behind my back. Apparently I'm the "emo girl" now. Nobody talks to me unless they want to see how I'm doing. They all say they're sorry for me. I walk away from them without saying anything. I don't need their pity.
I got dressed in a black t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and black Converse. I'm still in mourning. When I got downstairs, there was a full meal sitting at my place. There was bacon, eggs, toast, orange juice and milk. My parents are still trying to get me to have a full meal. All I grabbed was a piece of toast and a slice of bacon. With my backpack slung over my shoulder and the food in my hand, I walked out the front door without a good-bye or even a glance at my parents.
I put the the key in the ignition and started my cherry red, 2012 Mustang GT. The ride was the same as always. It was short and quiet. Once I got there, I grabbed my backpack and my keys and then locked my car. I walked to the only place that truly makes me happy, a tree that sits in front of the school. Since I had twenty minutes until the first bell, I sat down under the tree and got out my sketchbook. I started drawing absent-mindedly. It wasn't until I was shading in the picture that I saw who it was. It looked so much like him. The straight black hair fell perfectly over his dark eyes. His tall, lean build stood like a dark angel.
The person in the picture was the only person I truly loved. It was Sebastian.
~Jace~
I get to school and I see Clary all by herself under a tree. I'd know her anywhere. Her red hair and green eyes are like a neon sign. As I look closer, I can see that she has something in her hands. Whatever it is, it's upsetting her. She looks like she's holding back tears. Before I could even go ask her what's wrong, the bell rings and she disappears inside the school.
It's a good thing that I have her in some of my classes, because I plan on finding out what's wrong. Who would have thought that it would be so difficult? I mean, I'm Jace Lightwood. I'm hot. It's understandable for the girls to be all over me. But Clary Fray is something else. And I intend to find out what she's hiding.
~Clary~
Without Sebastian, I have no reason to try anymore. But my parents won't let me drop out of school, so I have to endure pointless hours sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher go on and on and on about something I don't care about. Then I get to go home where my parents are constantly trying to get me to talk to them. Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that after my brother died, I became mute. I don't talk to anyone about anything. Today was the first time I've talked to anyone in two months. My parents are concerned, but I keep pushing them away.
So what I'm trying to say is: Life Sucks.
