Chapter 2

Clary Pov

I was drawing a picture of cats, I'm not sure but I was obsessed with drawing cats when my phone began to ring. I check the caller ID and read "Goldilocks" so Jace then.

"Hello?" I asked

"Guess what Clary!" Jace's voice ran through my phone's speaker.

"Let me guess your cousins from California are here and live here now." I deadpanned there was one thing he was rambling about this week it wasn't that hard to guess.

"We have a winner!" he hollered. "You wanna meet them?"

"Hell yeah, be there in five." I screeched.

Jace and I were neighbors so it only really took me around five minutes to get to his house sorry I meant mansion (I really shouldn't judge I was rich too and lived in a mansion if not the same size, bigger) where his cousins and their parents were staying.

You see me and Jace found out that there were climbable trees in our yards, right next to our windows, so we kinda don't lock our windows and instead of walking in the front door we climb up the tree and enter through the window over the years it became easier and easier and now I could do it with our eyes closed.

Up the tree, move across the branch, open the window and jump in. I made it. I looked around Jace wasn't in his room oh well I'll go look for him. As I walked through the hallways I heard the faint sound of people chattering from downstairs. I raced down the stairs to find Jace, Celine, and Stefan along with some other people I didn't know. They must have been his relatives. Jace who had his back to me was still oblivious to the fact that I had arrived however sweet Celine had seen me and was about to say something. I put a finger to my lips gesturing for her to be quiet while pointing at me then to Jace while making a few gestures. An evil glint shone in her eyes and she nodded so small I would have missed it. I silently ran and jumped onto Jaces back while covering his eyes with my hand and whispering guess who.

"Clary, get off," his playful voice chuckled.

"Damn it, Goldilocks how on earth did you know." while jumping off his back.

"Clary no offense you are the only one who doesn't enter through the front door and weighs 86 pounds that I know so…" he smirked. I could only huff.

"Clary how nice to see you again it's been what," Stephan boomed while checking the clary schedule, "1 day 3 hours and 26 minutes."

"Actually it's been 17 minutes," I said with a smile. Let's get this straight I was over here or Jace was at my place so much Jace and I thought it would be nice to have a Jace or in my case Clary calendar, tracking the time I was last at his house or him mine.

"Get over here kiddo," he chuckled while pulling me into a bone-crushing hug. When I finally got released I felt the air leave my lungs once more this time it was a smaller frame. Celine.

"It's so nice to see you, Clary," she sang with the biggest grin on her face. It was hard not to like Celine she was like a second mother.

"Uhh, Jace you never told me you had a girlfriend." I turned to face a beautiful girl. She was tall with long black hair and chocolate brown eyes. Next to her stood a boy with black hair and blue eyes it didn't take a genius to figure out they were related.

"Uh, Izzy Clary isn't my girlfriend that would be like dating my sister we have been friends since third grade."

"Oh, well than Clary I'm sure we will be best friends I'll be attending school with you and so will my brother Alec we will both be in Jace's year your there to right? Oh, and do you know when Cheerleading tryouts are you look like the kind of girl to be on the team." Izzy smiled.

When she said I was on the Cheer team Jace his parents and I burst into laughter. I would never be on the cheer team. A, how do you call that a sport? B, have you seen the uniform? It is a skirt I haven't worn a skirt since first grade. C, everyone on the team are bitches. D, that would clash with my football time. We all knew this and I was a major tomboy.

"Uhh did I say something?" Isabelle looked really confused.

"I would never be on Cheer." I chuckled.

"Oh," she still seemed confused on why we laughed oh well she will just have to find out.

"Alec, Clary knows the time for Soccer tryouts." Jace wheezed.

"Jace did laughter tire you, I'll have to tell Wayland he might make you run laps with my team since we run triple the amount you do." I teased.

"Wait, Clary, you said your team I'm assuming that you are captain of a team of sorts?" Alec said.

"Yes, she is and has been ever since coach saw her play." Stephan roared.

"So.. you are captain of the…" Alec mused

"She's captain of the boy's soccer team and her brother does football and when she isn't in soccer she plays football with us tailback to be exact. And she has been doing Krav Maga for ten years and would beat everyone on the football teams asses if they got into a fight." Jace stated proudly. After all, it's not every day a girl gets on the boy's soccer team. However, the coach made a good decision if I say so myself we haven't lost a single game since I joined and when they say I was good they meant it. I was a forward on the team and responsible for at least half of the goals each game. I might ever get a scholarship for it. Ya know?

Alec Izzy and her family looked shocked I couldn't help but chuckle.
