"Clary, are you busy tomorrow?" Isabelle asked me.
"No, why?"
"I'm hosting a sleepover at mine for a few days. With a few a few of my other friends, you know, Maia and Helen."
"I'd love to, but I need to ask my parents first. They're...overprotective." I said.
"Oh, okay. Here's my phone number. Give me a call when you have an answer." She typed her number onto my old, battered iPhone.
"I'd better get going," I said reluctantly, walking to where my mom was waving to me at.
"Clary, finish up with the dishes, we have a surprise for you," My dad said, as he came up to me and tousled my hair. I quickly finished washing the dishes, and ran to the living room. I smiled.
"Luke, go grab the box off that counter, please." Dad got up and picked the box up. "Here, sweetheart."
I immediately ripped the wrapping off and opened the lid. Inside, laid a new iPhone 6 plus. "Thanks, Mom, thanks Dad!" My face almost hurt from beaming.
I took it out of the packaging, and quickly set it up, connecting it from my older phone. Then, I remembered that I needed to call Isabelle.
"Oh, um, can I go over to a friend's on Friday? For a sleepover? Pretty please?" I asked eagerly.
"Of course, honey, so long as you aren't going to bother your friend's parents."msaid Mom. I beamed at her. I ran up the stairs to my room, and dialled Isabelle's number.
"Hello?" she said, picking up her phone on the second ring.
"Izzy!" I said, "My mom I can come over! But, uh, what do I bring?"
"Just whatever you felt comfortable in." She said "You can come with me after school tomorrow. Oh, and bring your swimsuit."
"Sounds great." I replied. After I hung up, I dug through my closet for some perfect outfits. My dad came into my room, and found masses of clothing on the floor. "Jeez, Clary, it's a sleepover, not a vacation."
"It's a vacation to me!" I pointed out.
I ended up packing my simple white pj's, a couple tee's and tank's, jeans, shorts, a swimsuit. I also packed a toothbrush and toothpaste, a hairbrush, and my lucky pendant. It had a charm on it, called Angelic Power, whatever that means. Yes, I am a heavy packer.
After school, Isabelle and I drove off to her house. Since Maia and Helen weren't there yet, we watched a movie. "Clary, choose the impossible: Hunger Games or Divergent?"
"Uh, Hunger Games. I read the book, so, I guess the movie should be good." I replied.
We poured out soda and popped some popcorn for the movie, and soon, minutes after the end, Helen and Maia arrived.
"What are we doing first?" Maia asked.
"Well, we could go to the pool while it's still sunny outside..." Isabelle suggested. We all agreed, so in minutes, we were all ready, diving into Isabelle's luxurious pool.
"Wow, Clary, you are a pro swimmer!" Helen exclaimed.
"Thanks!" I replied, my face turning a bright red from embarrassment. I don't usually get compliments. Never at my old school. Only from teachers who were pleased with my work. Those didn't count, because after each compliment by a teacher, my life only got worst. "Teacher's Pet", I used to be called.
We hopped out of the large pool when all of our fingers and toes were wrinkled. "Isabelle! You practically have a hundred extra rooms and bathrooms!" Maia said, jokingly. When Isabelle lead me to a room, I walked into the shower, and then got changed. I changed into a white cami tank and denim jeans. As I walked down the spiral staircase, Helen said "Clary, we are doing makeovers! Want to try? We always have so much fun, just the three of us. Imagine how fun it will be with you too!" I was so flattered. People actually dared to call me a friend now. "Sure! I'd love to!" I replied.
When we finished the makeovers, Isabelle had a thick layer of gold eye shadow and black mascara. She had deep red lipstick on. Her hair was curled with a few streaks of gold temporary hair chalk. She had painted her nails gold, as well. She looked like a goddess. Maia had a pale pink eye shadow, no mascara, pale pink lipgloss, and had her hair braided. Maia had a French manicure. She was pretty, in many ways. Helen, had sea blue eye shadow, a very little bit of mascara, bronze lipstick, and had her curly hair straightened. She had her nails painted in silver. Everyone looked so beautiful. I always wished I could look good. Beautiful. But I just am to nerdy. "Clary, look into the mirror. you look great, I promise." Isabelle said. I turned to face the mirror. I saw a girl with curly red hair, smoky style eye shadow, thick black mascara, long streak of eye liner, blood red lipstick, and midnight colour nails. I couldn't recognize myself. "Your makeup skills are...wow..." I said.
"Ok, guys, do you want to go out for dinner or stay here?" Isabelle asked. We all instantly decided to go out.
When we got back, we started to gossip. "Oh my gosh," Maia said "Do you know that Aline broke up with Jace?" Everyone squealed but me. I don't even know Jace.
"Hey, guys, let's play truth or dare!" Helen suggested, once she saw that I wasn't interested about Jace, whoever he is.
"Yeah!" Izzy said.
"Perfect!" Maia exclaimed.
"Sure." I shrugged.
"I'll go first!" Helen shouted. "Clary, truth or dare?" I immediately said dare. I don't want my new friends to think I'm chicken. "Ok, Clary, I dare you to call Jace and ask him out over the phone. Don't tell him who you are until the end of the call."
"I don't know how to do that." I said.
"What, you mean flirt? Just try." they dialled Jace number onto my iPhone 6plus. "Hello?" Jace said. "Hi." I replied.
"Who is this?" He asked.
"Doesn't really matter," I replied, "so, I was wondering, will you go out with me? I heard you broke up with Aline." he hesitated a little. Then he said "Do I know you?" I laughed. "No, you don't. I barely know you." He hesitated a moment. "Fine, say that I said yes. Will you tell me who you are?" he asked. I nodded. Then I realized that he couldn't see me. "Yeah, yeah. Clary Fray."And I hung up.
"What did he say!?" They all exclaimed. "Yes. I think." I replied.
"Eeee!" they all squealed. I rolled my eyes.
Hi! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'm sorry that there's no Clace (Clary and Jace) in this chapter, I promise there will be Clace in the next chapter, if not that, then ch.4!
