Hi, sorry I didn't add an author's note in the last one. One of my lovely reviewers asked where Jace was. He won't be in it till the next chapter. I will try to update weekly but I have so much homework and I tend to procrastinate and I have the next season of pretty little liars so that doesn't help.

BTW: Clary is an orphan and has been since she was 7.

Another BTW: I update faster with reviews XD.

One more BTW: I do not own city of bones or any characters.

And without further scadoo… here is da next chapter!

CLARY POV!

School was far from Simon's house and took me and him almost half an hour to get there every morning. We had to walk through the bush and jump across a pond that had many logs in it. There was a stream the run nearby but we normally ignored it. We had to travel across a grass field that was owned by a farmer we often visited after school if we were early.

The walk to school was quieter than normal. Simon had fallen quiet about half way there. I think there is something he is not telling me but I decide to keep quiet too. We reached the tall brick wall that surrounded all the sectors from each other. Sebastian had put them up after his father died of a heart attack half a year ago. There had always been a wall between this side and another. Only certain guards are allowed over there. No one other than Sebastian or valentine (his dad) had been over there for years. Sebastian was worse than valentine (if possible). Valentine didn't want you to go over to the "other side" but Sebastian doesn't want you to go anywhere.

He made sectors for the house. Rich and poor were separated. There were 7 sectors not including "other side". 1 for the school, 4 for houses, 1 for him and 1 for farmers/shops. To get into another sector you had to have a code, which gets changed up to 4 times a day, or you had to have special permission from Sebastian. They could get to school 10 times faster if they took the road but the guards were there and if they were in a bad mood you were their punching bag. There was a small gravel path that lead us to school which was used by a few children who had found it. We entered the new code-4113-into the pin pad on the huge wall. If you didn't know the code you had to be searched for proof or show them a school card.

School was usual. Boring and painfully slow. Simon was being weird and quiet making the day go even slower. My favourite part of the day was art where we got to paint a sunset with electricity lines going onto the back ground. The teacher was very nice and said we can have extra time during tomorrow lunch time, which is what I planned to do. Simon didn't like art as much and preferred history. The home bell went 7 minutes late, which didn't help. I and Simon walked back to his house through our gravel road. Strom clouds were gathering in the sky making it dark, gloomy and cold. Simon, who was wearing jeans and a thin shirt saying "I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it". I walked to Simon's door even though I normally keep walking to my house. He turned to me and said "I can't walk tomorrow," making me look awkwardly at him.

"Why?" I ask in my curious tone.

"I'm moving out of the sectors to the next town over," he said not looking me in the eye knowing it wouldn't end well.

"what," I ask loudly making one of the guards look at us as they walked past.

"im moving. My mum said it's not safe here any more,"" he replied clearly upset. I slowly start backing away upset and furious. He was my best friend, my only friend. How could he just leave me here.

"clary," he says taking a steep towards me. "You know I don't wasn't to. I'm sorry," he says obviously not think I would take the news this bad.

"this place has always been bad. Why does your mum want to leave now! It always been like this. A crap place were no one is equal, but I thought you were just as good as them," I say shaking my head, not talking barely whispering incase there was a guard nearby.

"Im sorry Fray," he says sadly trying not to cry but I wasn't so good. My best friend was leaving and I would never see him again. He was my only friend since I was 8. Tears start to pour down my cheeks with out my say but I don't pull them away. "Good bye Simon," I say before turning and running as fast as my legs would take me without falling over.

That last part almost made me cry as a I wrote it. I was also listening to a said song on the internet, which didn't help. Jace will probably be in the next chapter so don't worry. I will try it update soon. PLEASE REVIEW AND I WILL ADD A SIMON POV. Thx!
