Clary pov

Oh no! I only have ten seconds before my tail grows back! I darted off to the nearest exit. Instead, I ran straight into a room that was empty. I locked the door just in time. My tail grew out, and I wobbled and slammed on the ground. The worst part is, I had to wait for my tail to dry. I felt my hair, yup it's wet too. I huffed and flipped over onto my back.

It took my tail 30 minutes to dry. 30! I'm in trouble. When I finally came out of the room, Maia and Tessa came running up to me. "Where the hell have you been?!" Shouted Tessa. "Sh! I got wet," I said pointing to the brown stain on my shirt. "Oh. Well, hurry up and come with us before you get yourself in deep trouble. Like, 1,000 feet deep in trouble." She said pulling me with her.

When I got to Language Arts, I took my seat in the corner. Then the guy that dumped the poor blonde girl. The only seat left was next to me. Great.

When he saw me he smirked. I rolled my eyes and went back to drawing my sea shell. I stiffened when he slid into the seat next to me. "Hi," He said turning to face me. I just kept my face focused on my drawing.

"Hi," He said turning to face me. I just kept my face focused on my drawing.

You know it's not polite to ignore someone when they're talking to you right?" He said. Amusement in eyes and voice. I huffed and turned to face him. Oh, how I wished I didn't.

My sea green eyes clashed with his sunny gold eyes. I couldn't pull my eyes from his. Then I heard a loud bang that made my eyes snap away from his to find out what the noise was. The teacher just dropped one of her books.

The teacher just dropped one of her books. When I looked back at the strange boy, he was engrossed in a talk with a boy with obsidian black hair. He turned his head to me and smiled. "Hi, I'm Will. A friend of this asshat," He said pointing at asshat. I smile and went back to drawing. Then I felt someone's gaze on me. I turned my head slightly to see asshat looking at me. "By they way, my name is not asshat. It's Jace," He said giving me a smirk.

Time laps

After school was over Maia, Tessa, and I walked to the dock. We were about to jump in when we heard laughter. We turned our heads to see three boys heading to a boat. It was Jace, Will, and some other guy I didn't know. We looked at each other wondering what we should do. "He red head!" I turned around to see Jace waving at me mockingly. I rolled my eyes and turned back to my friends.

"Hey, red head!" I turned around to see Jace waving at me mockingly. I rolled my eyes and turned back to my friends.

"What are we going to do?" asked Maia in a whisper. Then I heard people running towards us. Then I felt a warm hand on my shoulder, I turned around to meet Jace face to face. My eyes widened. Before I knew what was happening, I was picked up and thrown into the water. I swam under the deck as my tail grew back out. I heard feet rushing to the edge of the dock. I had to surface. So I cautiously poked my head above the water. "Jace and the two boy's started laughing their head off.

I heard a splash in the distance. It was Maia and Tessa jumping off a different part of the dock. While the boys were busy laughing, I ducked back under the water and swam away. When I arrived at our usual place on the rocks, I gently pushed my myself up on the rocks. Leaving some of my tail in the water. Then I saw blue and purple hair surface.

"Clarissa! Did they see you!" shouted Maia as she joined me on the rocks.

"No. They were too busy laughing to notice me," I said brushing her purple hair.

"That's good!" said Tessa brushing her deep sea blue hair.

"I swear! If they saw you, I would get Finny to hunt you down and poison you till you died!" Yelled Maia jumping back in the water. I sighed and joined her for a swim. Finny is her pet sea horse who she accidently turned into a poisonous sea horse with her powers.

I did a few jumps here and there, but mostly stayed under water.

When I reached our sea cave, Maia and Tessa were already there chatting. I joined them before falling asleep.

The next day

I dried myself on the dock as did Maia and Tessa. My mom gave us some human clothes so we didn't have to wear the same thing all the time.

When I got to my locker, Jace was there. He looked up at me in surprise. I scowled at him. "Sorry about yesterday," He mumbled as he opened his locker.

"Why? You seemed perfectly happy with your decision," I said looking at him in the eye. "Red!" he called out as I turned to leave.

"My name is not red. It's Clary. What do you want?" I growled.

"Well Clary, Gosh I wish I wasn't dared to do this," he mumbled rubbing his neck. "do you want to go out with me?"

So, cliff hanger! REVIEW PLEASE!
