Hey guys! So I really didn't think that people would actually like it but it turns out people did, I was so happy! Also this is a songfic- think that's what I saw someone write- and I know the song is suppose to be about a guy but I'm going to pretend it's not because it kinda goes with the story. Well here's chapter 2!
I'm Breaking Down Gonna Start From Scratch
Shake It Off Like An Etch A Sketch
My Lips Are Saying Goodbye My Eyes Are Finally Dry
Me and my mom are in the car listening to the radio and arguing because she told me that we're going to spend the whole summer away from New York. We had been arguing for about half an hour. Just then she parked the car outside our apartment building and got out. My mom told me to help bring the bags upstairs. She handed me some bags and I ran upstairs. I put the bags down and went to go help my mom with more bags. When I got outside the car was gone and my mom was on the floor and blood was surrounding her everywhere. "MOM... MOM GET UP... MOM" I yelled between sobs. I screamed for help and then my brothers ran down. Once they got they looked at the scene in shock. Sebastian gave over to me- eyes wide and tears going down his cheek- put an arm around me told me to look away but I couldn't. I just stood there crying staring at my mother laying on the ground not moving. John was calling the police while people were now crowding around us trying to see what had happened.
"MOM" I screamed shooting up in my bed. I realized the alarm clock was going off and shut if off at the same moment my brothers ran into my room, looking ready for a fight. When they realized that nothing was wrong John said "It's okay now get ready." then they both left. I got out of bed and ran to my bathroom after I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and tamed my hair I went into my closet. When I had finally finished putting my clothes in I found out that it was a good thing Victoria gave me that credit card cause I had a lot of room in this closet and the other one was completely empty. I put on my purple peplum top, leather skinny jeans, and black high heels. I then went over to my black vanity table with a lighted mirror and sat down in my matching vanity armchair. I opened one of my makeup cases and put on light purple eyeshadow, my favorite bright red lipstick, mascara and eyeliner. I got up and went over to my mirror and smiled at myself. Before I left my closet I looked around and remembered that I had organized this closet to be like my own dressing room. I ran to get my purse and sprinted downstairs.
The second I got downstairs I knew that Bridget had made pancakes! Bridget was our personal chef, but we thought of her more as family. We also had two housekeepers and a landscaper that we thought of as family too. I saw them more than Luke and Victoria sometimes and I trusted them a lot. When I'm bored sometimes I even go outside and help the landscaper.
I went to take my seat at the table and wondered where my brothers are. As if reading my mind Bridget said "Clary your brothers told me to tell you that you have 2 minutes before they leave you." I ate my pancakes way to fast and went outside to find my brothers waiting impatiently. I knew what one of them was bound to say and just wanted to get this over with. "You are not wearing that to school!" Seb exclaimed. Both of them could be such a pain in the ass sometimes. "Just shut it and drive" I told him while hopping into the passenger seat of his black truck. He could have gotten a nicer car but he didn't want a 'girl car' as he put it and he wanted to fit more than 2 people comfortably. So he sat down in the drivers seat while John got stuck in the back. After 5 minutes it was clear that we wouldn't get to school anytime soon if he didn't drive any faster.
"Can you drive any slower!" I yelled at him. He gave me a look that said 'you could have walked so don't complain'. I rolled my eyes and said "I would have gotten to school if I had walked so-" but then I realized something " Wait a second I know why I am here but why is Sebastian here!" I had offered Victoria my car for the day since hers was getting fixed but John had his own car. "I don't know just decided to let him give me a ride" he said. After another 10 minutes of me complaining about Seb's slow driving we finally made it. " Well you guys obviously have the nicest cars here, but my truck is the best here!" he said trying to defend his truck. I gave a small laugh and looked around to see some people looking at the car in a weird way. They are probably wondering who is in here I thought. Seb picked the best parking space and we all got out. Most people are watching us while others haven't even noticed us. When we started heading into the hall way I heard people whispering things like ' Oh my god there so hot' or 'Aline and Jace have some competition' and even 'I heard they live in this huge house and are SO rich'. I smirked at the comments and the boys staring at me.
I realized we didn't know where we're going so I turned to see a boy who was really cute. He had black hair and blue eyes-which I think is a great combination- and lookednice but that was just because he looked shy. I would have had a crush on him if I didn't get the feeling he was gay. I gave him a sweet smiling and said " hey can you tell me where the office is?"
He responded with "down the hall, make a left, and it's the first door on your right." I gave him another sweet smile and then me and my brothers went to follow his directions. It took us five minutes to do and get everything we had to there then we left the office. In the hallway I saw Magnus, Jordan, and Simon waiting. I ran up to them and hugged them which almost made them fall over. After 5 minutes of catching up -and my brothers waiting awkwardly next to me- Magnus told me to give him my schedule.
"You have second period free with Simon and Jordan. 3rd period with all of us and Jordan's girlfriend, lunch with everyone, 4th Jordan and his girlfriend 6th, 5th with Maia, and last period with everyone." he told me as if he already had it memorized. I hadn't even had time to look at my schedule so right now he knew it better then I did. "Wait what's this I hear about Jordan actually having a girlfriend?" I asked while trying to lift a eyebrow but failing. I couldn't understand how some people coud do it but I can't!
Just then a girl with brown hair curly brown hair, light brown skin, and amber eyes. She was wearing a black tank top with pink leggings, gray and pink converse high tops, and had her hair in a pony tail. She was extremely pretty but you could tell she was really nice and wouldn't wear anything super short. Then Jordan put a arm around her waist and gave her a kiss on the cheek, and I then realized this must be Maia." I approve" I said with a smile. Jordan introduced her to me and my brothers and I immediately liked her. I found out that Maia was here for drama/acting. Then the bell rang and we all headed in different directions. I finally looked at my schedule to try and figure out where I had to go.
First Period- English Literature
Second Period- My Free Period
Third Period- Spanish
Lunch
Fourth Period- Gym
Fifth Period- Music
Six Period- Math
It was about 3 minutes later I bumped into something and dropped my purse, my phone, some other things from my purse, and my schedule. It turns out the something I bumped into turned out to a someone. I saw a hand pick up my purse and phone and hold it out to me. I took it, said thanks, stuffed everything back in my purse, got up, and looked at the person to find a very attractive guy. I just couldn't help but stare. I then realized I should stop starting because if I didn't he might realize I was staring. To late I thought because he was now smirking. Then I realized that this here was a golden boy, and when I say golden boy I mean literally golden boy. He had gold hair, gold eyes, and a perfect gold tan. He looked me up and down and now he was the one staring. I smirked myself before saying "so are you just going to stand there and stare or are you going to help me get to class!" I told him. He quickly stop staring and put that cocky smile on that he had had before.
"What class" he asked. I told him English Lit, and he smirked and told me to follow him. "So new hot red head I'm Jace and you are..?" he asked obviously flirting. I rolled my eyes. I just couldn't stop thinking about how golden boy here was just openly flirting expecting me to drool over him. I then came to a conclusion that he was part of the popular crowd. I felt the need to reject him and tell him my nick name for him so I said "Not interested golden boy". As I said that he opened a door and walked in but a teacher stopped him, so I was stuck at the doorway behind him.
"Mr. Lightwood would you care to explain why your late then you may take your detention slip." Jace smirked again before saying " You can't give me a detention for helping a damsel in distress now would you?" He then stepped out of the way so the teacher can see me. He teacher looked away from Jace, gave me a smile, and motioned for me to come in. "So it looks like we have a new student now what's your name?" he asked.
"Clarissa Morgenstein but I prefer Clary."
"Well I am Mr. Rodgers and you two may take a seat over there." He pointed to two seats all the way in the back of the class that of course had to be next to each other. The rest of class was spent going over what we'd be doing this year and that we would be working on a project for the next few weeks with a partner and that we would find out more tomorrow and who I partner was going to be.
The rest of the day went by fast and uneventful except for me finding out that I love Jordan's girlfriend and we became really good friends in a matter of a day, and I meet some girl named Isabelle who told me we should hang out sometime. I was really happy that I made 2 new friends that weren't guys but I still had to be cautious about Isabelle because I didn't know her and she could just be using me. Before I knew it we we're all back in our driveway. We all gave each other weird looks because my uncle and my car are in the driveway. The weird thing was that they are never home this early and last time they were we found out we were moving. We ran inside and sure enough they are sitting on the couch waiting for us to get home.
"Um I think all of you should sit down." Victoria told us. We did as she told us and waited for them to continue. After about 2 minutes it was clear that they weren't going to say anything so Seb asked "are you guys going to tell us what's going on?" Victoria and Luke gave each other worried looks.
"They've agh they've caught... they've caught the guy that murdered your mother" he said. We all just stood their in shock. I knew I should be happy but I wasn't. I wasn't because it just brought back the day it happened and us waiting in the hospital for good news that would never come. I just couldn't take the memory of the doctors telling us she was died, so I ran upstairs and slammed my door. I locked my bedroom door, ran into my closet and closed that door. I leaned back on the wall for support because I could feel my knees about to give out. I slowly slide down the wall and just sat there waiting for the tears to come but they never did. After all those nights I spent crying myself to sleep, my eyes are finally dry.
So someone asked me if I wanted another OC but I really don't know what that is remember I did say I was new. If someone could tell me what that is I would really appreciate it. Also I forgot to add this in the story but here are the talents.
Jordan- Basketball
Simon- Writing
Isabelle- Ballet/Dancing
Jace- Football
Aline- Gymnastics
And I need help picking one to pick for Magnus. So tell me what you think about this chapter and remember always open to suggestion!
