Hello friends!

Please tell me what you think of my story by reviewing it. I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to continue it or not, I feel kind of like somethings missing or this isn't my best work. To share your ideas, opinions or questions please review!

Thanks, Annie

The day passes in a steady blur. I have felt lonely all day, I having had only one class this morning with Magnus and none with Simon. In the class I had with Magnus we were having a good conversation in study hall. He was giving me fashion advice, how to be more creative or add more shine to my look. Until one of the teachers , came up and snapped at us to be quiet, because apparently the idea of students talking is completely out of the question for teachers. Don't you just love school.

I was just finishing history class in fourth period when the bell chimed, signaling the end of class and start of lunch. I quickly bolt out the door and maneuver through the crowded hall, towards my locker. I grab my bagged lunch, which consists of an apple, coke and what is probably a week old bagel from Java Jones. Lucky me. My mom never was much of a cook. Even now me and Jon take turns cooking dinner every night, allowing mom to focus on her career in art. Its how she makes a living, although we barley gets by. Maybe I should start thinking about a job.

I continue making my way outside and step into the front schoolyard, scanning the grounds for Simon. Not knowing where exactly he wants me to meet him I start walking around the building, hoping I'll be able to spot him. I don't see him at the moment but I do spot Jon, sitting talking to one of his friends. He has light brown skin and sleek dark hair. I think I remember him from when I was younger, hanging around the house with Jon. But what was is name? Ralph, Randall, Roland? I'm not sure, but it was something with a R. I give them a quick, slightly awkward wave and continue on for my epic quest to find Simon.

After a few minutes I'm ready to give up until my eye catches on Simon, sitting at a picnic table with three other people. There's a girl there with ink black hair and what seems to be three inch high stiletto's. How can you manage to walk in those? I think. She could easily be the prettiest girl I have ever seen, with her dark eyes and gorgeous yet scandalous outfit. Simon obviously seems to think so, looking in her direction every second or so. My eyes shift over to the two boys that aren't so bad themselves. One with golden blond hair, which looks extremely messy, but in a cute way. The other boy being tall, with the same inky black hair as the girl sitting across from him.

Simon notices my silent stalking and smiles at me. Raising a hand, motioning me to come and join them. I take a deep breath and take my time making my way over to the table. What if they don't like me? What if they think I'm weird? What should I say, what should I do? Its to late to turn back now, as I quietly approach the table. Simon stands up and laces his arm around me, pulling me towards the direction of the table.

"Guys I would like you to meet Clary!" He says beaming. Glancing at me and the back down to his friends. All four sets of eyes turn there attention at me, the to boys give me small smile while the girl has something else written on her face. Anger? Jealousy, maybe?

" Hi," I say meekly. Giving them one of my famous awkward waves, as I stand here, feeling completely out of place. A few seconds of awkward silence pass before the girl with black hair speaks up.

" I'm Izzy and these are my brothers Alec and Jace." She says, indicating the blond boy is Jace and the taller boy Alec. Her expression has soften from the angry expression she wore earlier. Hopefully that's a good sign.

I sit down next to her and start pecking at my lunch. The conversation starts out a bit rocky, but gains momentum as we keep going. The ask me questions about myself. Where did I move from, how am I liking school and do I have any siblings. I answer all the questions happily but also ask some of my own. After a few minutes I learn they have lived here most of there life and that all of them are siblings. Weird seeing as Izzy and Alec look so much alike, yet Jace looks so different. When were done talking about the question the situation takes a turn for the worse. They start talking about things that I have no knowledge of, whatever there talking about goes right over my head. I start talking less and less until I'm just silently eating my lunch. I do catch Jace watching me every few seconds, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I'm fine just listening to them talk until they start acting mean and start bitching about people, saying how so and so is a slut or making accusations that seem to be based on very little evidence, if any all. The last straw was when they started talking about Magnus making fun of his personality and clothes.

"He dresses like a drag queen." Izzy scoffs. Simon and Jace nodding and laughing in agreement. I do notice Alec neither agrees or disagrees, just pushes his food around on his plate. Maybe he is nicer than he appears. All of a sudden I become hot and flustered, unable to deal with them anymore. I abruptly stand up. grabbing my bagged lunch and balling it in my fist. I continue to turn around and walk away.

"Clary, where are you going?" Simon ask curiously, not aware that anything's wrong, even though there's no way this could get worse.

" Ummm, to the washroom. Ill be right back." I say, even though its a total lie. I make my way inside and walk the halls, when I find Magnus sitting on the ground and eating his lunch. All by himself. I walk over and slide onto the ground next to him, he looks up with a shocked expression.

"Hey," I say with a small smile. Hoping he wont see how truly upset I am. He barley acknowledges me before speaking again.

"You should go biscuit, being seen talking to a loser like me wont do anything good to your reputation." He replys sadly before going back to finishing his lunch. I grab his scarf and tug on it so hard that he's looking at me dead in the eye. I've had enough shit for one day.

"Fuck my reputation and fuck anyone who calls you a loser." I say with dead seriousness, this being the most truthful thing I've said all day. I only pausing shortly to see the horrified expression on Magnus's face.

"I don't care about what people say, your one of my only friends here Magus and it would be a honor to eat lunch with you." Magnus doesn't comment as I start eating the rest of my lunch. After a few minutes me and Magnus have began laughing and talking. Not at all bother by the harsh glances we get from others in the hall, because they really don't have a impact on us unless we want them to.

As lunch nears an end I've learned something. I have spent half my life with no escape, no choice over my decisions but that stopped as soon as I walked out of that house. Starting a new chapter of my life. Now I'm going to do what makes me happy, what I want to do. If I had the choice between Magnus or the popular kids I would pick Magnus in a heartbeat.

Wow, what a plot twist! I decided to spice things up a bit but am still planning for everyone to be friends (eventually).

Question: What should Clary's job be?

If you want a new chapter early please review! I would love to hear your ideas. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do for the next chapter. I've come to sort of a writers block. If you guys have any ideas of things you want me to include ill do my best to add it in somewhere.

Remember review! As Shakespeare said "Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice."

Thanks! ;)
