Chapter 4- Good morning

Clary's POV

I was having a wonderful dream when suddenly something started blaring. And it wouldn't stop. I open my eyes and realised it was my alarm. I hate mornings.

I get up and go in the shower to get rid of any sleepiness I have left. I decided not to wash my hair right now since I already washed it last night. I got out of the shower and wrapped a warm towel around my body.

Walking into my closet I heard my phone ring. I went back in my room and anwered.

"Hey Clare! Just me, your beloved brother calling to make sure you're awake. School starts in an hour, you know. Wouldn't want to miss the first day of school, you know" my brother said way too happily.

"You know I'm not that into mornings but that doesn't mean I sleep in all the time. Okay, I have to go change and eat some breakfast. Bye-bye!" I said and ended the call.

I stepped back into my closet and started to look around to find what to wear. I finally decided on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, a black tank top, black high-heeled combat boots and a black leather jacket.

I looked at myself a mirror and saw my hair was super messy and I could definitely use some makeup. I went to my makeup table and took a hair brush. After ten minutes of brushing my hair finally looked decent enough. I quickly added some makeup. My every day routine consists of eyeliner, mascara, nude lipstick and some contouring and highlighting. I stopped adding foundation after I realised my freckles were fierce.

I went downstairs to eat breakfast. I decided on a simple bowl of cereal and coffee. I finished eating and then started to prepare my lunch. I have heard from Tessa that school lunches aren't that good so I made a decision to make my own lunch ages ago. I quickly sliced some apples, carrots and cucumbers. I peeled an orange and separated the slices. I alsi mixed together a little bit of dipping sauce for the carrots and cucumbers.

I went back upstairs to get my backpack with all the stuff I needed. I entered the kitchen, put my lunchbox in the bag and grabbed some flavored water from the fridge. I took my phone and my cup of coffee, put the bag over my shoulder and went outside. I locked the door and set the alarm on.

I went in the garage to get my car. I opened the back door and put my backpack on the seat. I closed the door and opened the driver's one. I sat inside, put my coffee cup in the cupholder, my phone on the dashboard and the keys in ignition. I closed the door, started the car and backed out of the garage. I turned on the radio and checked the time. 7.35. I'm on time.

I speeded off into the right direction only to be cut off by a backing car. I slammed the breaks and was lucky enough that nothing slipped in the car.

"You fucking son of a bitch! Where the fuck did you learn how to drive! From your grandmom?! Didn't anyone tell you to pay attention to your surroundings?! Next time you are going to end up in a hospital bed you fucking piece of shit!" I yelled to the guy driving the car after the initial shock wore off. Of course he didn't hear me because I was in my car and he didn't even look in my direction. I realised my window was open and so was his so he could've heard me, but I didn't give the fact a lot of attention.

The guy driving sped off like it was nothing and I soon followed. My phone started ringing again and it was Jon again. I answered and he spoke.

"Hey! Calling you again to make sure you know school is starting in 25 minutes. You are on your way, right?" he asked cautiously.

"I would already be halfway to school if some jerk didn't cut me off. I fucking hate people who drive like their some sort of god. Arghh!" I said raising my voice and hitting my wheel to punctuate every word after school.

Jon probably was aware of how angry I was and didn't say a word for a while.

"So, you are on your way?" he asked and I laughed at that.

"Yes, my evil twin, I am on my way," I answered.

"Hey, just because I'm five minutes older doesn't mean I'm evil. Well, at least not that evil," he said rather protectively.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night. I'll be there in like two minutes so I'm going to end the call, okay?" I said and ended the call before he could answer.

I pulled into the school parking lot exactly two minutes later and I saw how people's eyes turned in my direction immediately. I know I had a nice car, but people, it is not nice to stare. But I did try to show off my great driving skills. Since my windows were slightly tinted they couldn't see me that well, but I knew they were wondering who I was.

I noticed a group of people around another car and the bastard who cut me off was in the center of the attention over there. After I stopped my car literally everyone was staring. Even the group around the other car. I checked the time again. 7.47. I still had to get my schedule so I couldn't wait in my car.

I took my keys out the ignition, grabbed my phone and my cup of coffee and opened the door. I put my left leg on the ground and then turned to get out the car. I stood up, closed my door and opened the back door to get my backpack. I then closed that door and started walking towards the school. When I was a few feet away from my car I locked the doors.

A few seconds passed and then Jon came to hug me. I was startled and just stood there.

"I'm so glad you made it." he said in my hair.

"It's not that big of a deal. Hey, do you know who that guy over there with the Range Rover is?" I asked him.

"That is my best friend, Jace. Why?" he said and I came up with an idea to pay him back for cutting me off.

I started walking towards him and people started buzzing about me. I reached him and looked him in the eyes. They were gold. That's the same guy from last night who didn't leave me alone.

"My name is Clary by the way, we met at the ball yesterday, I believe" I told him.

"I know who you are," he said staring at me. For once I was happy to be a slow drinker because after his cocky reply, I took the lid off my coffee cup and dumped the insides at him. He looked shocked and I just smiled at him.

"That's for cutting me off earlier. You do remember, right? Next time watch where you're going." I told him while he started to curse. I went back to Jon and smiled proud of myself.

"What the hell, Clare?! You don't just dump hot coffee on someone! Especially my best friend! What was that all about?!" he yelled at me.

"He is the guy that cut me off earlier. Plus, he didn't leave me alone last night at the ball. Remember, he asked for my name and then Will showed up? I admit I went over there to tell him toto watch where he is going next time but then I saw his eyes and realised who he was. He answered way too cocky for my opinion so I just dumped my coffee on him. Is he always a cocky bastard?" I asked him and he looked at me like I had three heads.

"Hey, did you see the poor guy in the parking lot with coffee all over him? Whoever did that is on my friends list, cause that guy is a cocky bastard." Will said from behind me. I turned around and gave him a kiss.

"I sure hope I'm on your friends list" I said laughing.

"You did that?!" he yelled and then high-fived me. I laughed and he kissed me again. Jon cleared his throat and we broke apart. We both started laughing and Jon just scoffed and walked away.

"So, I'm guessing the guy pissed you off?" Will asked.

"You're damn right he did. I was driving past his house and he was backing out and I had to slam the breaks in order to keep my baby safe." I said feeling angry again.

"He cut you off?" He asked and I nodded. "Well, he is lucky. I'm pretty sure next time it's not going to be just his shirt that's ruined. I thought I was your baby?"

"You aren't, my car is," I said and he looked disappointed. I tried to come up with an annoying nickname for him and then hit hit me. "You are my princess."

"You were totally thinking of an annoying pet name right now. A princess? Really? That's the best you got, pumpkin?" he said teasingly and I looked at him glaring. He knows I hate names that basically refer to my red hair. He looked back at me and kissed my hair as an apology.

I laughed at that and noticed then that a group of people had formed around us. We turned our attention to them and the talking began.

"Oh my god! You are Clary Fairchild! I love your movies and your music!" one of the students practically screamed my ears off.

"I am a huge fan!"

"Can I get a picture? An autograph?"

"No. We want to be treated like normal students without any privileges. If you feel the urge to pick on me or Will go ahead. But please, just let us be. We're all here to get education, more or less, so no pictures or autographs. Thank you!" I said and they started to back off. There are going to be so many headlines about me being a total bitch later.

Will kissed me one last time before we started to walk towards the school and the place where we could get our schedules and locker numbers.

We got them and to our surprise our lockers are next to each other. We also have four classes together, plus lunch. We head to our first class and sit down next to each other. The teacher soon arrives and starts the class.

"Hello! My name is Ms. Lovelace and I hope we have a wonderful time here in this class. Don't get too comfortable in your seats, though. I will be assigning your partners for this year." The teacher said and started pairing up students. Soon Will had a new partner and I continued waiting for my name to be called, alone.

"Okay, last but not least. Ms. Fairchild will be paired up with Mr. Herondale," the teacher said and I was very confused.

"But Ms. Lovelace it seems that Mr. Herondale already has a partner," I spoke up and the teacher smiled at me.

"Oh, it seems that I have forgotten that there are two Mr. Herondales in this class. You'll be paired with Jonathan Herondale." She said and I looked at her quizically until I heard a throat being cleared in front of me. It's the same cocky dude I dumped coffee on this morning. I smiled a fake smile and he smirked and sat down next to me.

"For your first project you will have to get to know your partner. Not just the basics like name, age, date of birth, eye color, hair color and many others that seem too easy. I want you to find out their deepest fears, best and worst childhood memories, what makes them happy and so on. I will be giving you free hands on how you do the project. It could be a conversation or a game, but remember you have four weeks to finish it. At the end I hope to see a presentation. If you feel you'll feel comfortable talking somewhere else you can leave, but be back for the next lesson." Ms. Lovelace explained.

"Do you want to go out of here?" The cocky bastard said.

"Ew, I have a boyfriend, you know," I said and he chuckled. "But I would like to talk about my fears and everything somewhere else. Where should we go?" He just shrugged at that.

"We could go to a diner not far from here. It has the best food around here. Taki's? Ever heard of that?" he then said. I laughed and nodded.

"Who hasn't, it's my favourite. Well, we should get going." I said and took my things. Will sat in front of us and when we passed him I gave him a quick kiss.

"Hey, where are you going? Can we come with? We have absolutely no idea where to go to." Will's partner said and I smiled and nodded.

"No, Izzy you can most definitely not come with," Jace said. I then pulled Will and Izzy up and started walking towards my car, not listening to Jace's complaints. I unlocked my car and they sat in. Jace came running and glared at me before opening the back door and going in the car.

"Everyone buckle up. This one drives like a maniac." Will said and I laughed while putting my backpack in front of Will's feet, my phone on the dashboard and the keys in ignition. I started the car and backed out of the parking spot quickly. At the same time I was staring at Will.

"Oh my god, you are going to kill us if you keep driving like that. You didn't even look where you were going. You could've hit someone. And you were screaming at me for cutting you off. You drive like..." I turned the radio up so that I couldn't hear Jace complaining. When he finished I turned around and Will turned down the radio.

"That is called being aware of your surroundings. Even though I didn't look at the road while backing out I knew where I had to drive and I knew I wouldn't hit anyone because there was nobody here. Happy?" I said satisfied that he freaked out at my driving because he clearly has to look where he is going.

"And if you thought this is crazy, you haven't seen anything yet" Will said and I sped off. I heard yells from the backseat which quieted down when we were on the streets and I started driving at an even speed. A few minutes later we made it to the diner and went inside.

"Hello, I'm Cecily and I'll be your waitress today. Have you decided on drinks?" the waitress said and I looked up.

"I'll have a chocolate milkshake" I said and she looked at me and froze. I started laughing and she pulled me up to hug me.

"I can't believe you're really back. I missed you so much. I can't say the same about Will, though. He's been such a pain in the ass," she said and I laughed again.

"I missed you, too. I can't believe you already graduated high school while we were gone." I stated.

"Hey, sometimes being better at something is good. You're amazing at acting and singing and look where it got you" she said still hugging me.

"Some of us would like to order before we have to go back to school" Jace said pissing me off yet again.

"Oh, right. What can I get for you." Cecily said.

"I'll have some water" Izzy said.

"Chocolate milkshake, sis" Will said annoyingly. I glared at him and he stopped.

"I'll have a large coke" Jace said not even looking up.

"I'll be right back with your drinks."

The drinks soon arrived and we started talking. Izzy was actually very friendly and I could see she has a backbone. She isn't fooled by those bleached blondes batting their eyelashes at anything that moves.

"We should get going. The class will be over soon." Jace reminded us. I called Cecily back to pay.

"My treat. You can go back to the car otherwise we might end up late" I said and everyone but Jace was okay with that.

"I can and I will pay for myself." Jace said and I looked at him shock visible on my face.

"What is your problem?" I asked him now obviously angry. Will and Izzy turned around at that and Will looked scared of me. What the hell? I'm not angry at him.

"Jace, you should just let her pay. We're going to be late." Izzy told him.

"Clary, calm down. You do not want to cause a scene. And Jace, just let her pay. I know all too well what will happen if you don't." Will said trying to talk us to senses. I continued glaring at Jace and finally he gave up and stood up.

"Should we go now? I don't want to miss my next class because of some little girl having a temper tantrum." Jace said lazily. Oh, what a wrong thing to say to a Fairchild. My name can sound good but after all, I'm still my daddy's girl. Which means Morgenstern blood also runs through my veins.

"You know, you should never piss her off. She is a Morgenstern by blood after all." Will said slowly to Jace. After that fear was visible in the Blondie's face. I smiled my devilish smile, slapped the money on the table and walked out. A few moments later everyone else followed.

I wanted to rip his pretty face off his scull. I wanted to twist his arms until the gave in to the pressure and snapped. I wanted to rip his hair out one by one until he was bald. I wanted to... God, I just wanted him gone. Like, buried in the ground gone. How the fuck could just one person piss me off so much? He is completely unbearable. I can't stand him. And now I have to work with him.

With that thought I finally punched the wall I've been staring at. Will ran to me and hugged me from behind, strapping my arms down to my sides to calm me down.

"Clary, I want you to think happy thoughts. I want you to breathe slowly and deeply. Think of the time you got the call about your record deal. Remember, you were so happy that you couldn't calm down until we went to the trampoline center so you could just jump it all out. Think of the time you got the call from your manager saying that you could go to school and take the year off. You were super excited. We went to the ice skating rink just so you could feel like you're floating and feel free. Remember all those times you were over the moon happy." Will said in my ear still hugging me.

Halfway through his speech he slowly turned me around and looked me in the eyes. I closed my eyes and remembered all those times and calmed down slowly.

"Are you okay now?" He asked and I nodded. He kissed my head and started guiding me towards my car. Izzy and Blondie waited by the car for me to open the doors. Before doing that I went straight to Blondie and slapped him.

"Listen to me and listen to me close, Blondie. If you ever piss me off again, you'll have another thing coming. Since we're going to be late if we don't hurry up, I'll be nice this time and let you drive back in my car. If you so much as say a word you'll be out of the car and trying to make it back in time. Understand?" I told him and he nodded quickly. I opened the doors and we started our journey back to the school.

As soon as I parked my car, Blondie was out of there and Izzy, Will and I got out the car slowly since we still had about ten minutes before the class would end.

"Clary, don't be so harsh on him. He is known for one thing in this school. He is an amazing athlete and has great grades. I understand that you only wanted to be nice back at the diner, but he's scared to lose his popularity now that you are here. Just try to ignore him. I've known hom basically my whole life and I have actually never seen him act like that before." Izzy said and I am shocked. He pissed me off because he's scared he'll lose his popularity.

"Well, tell him I don't want his popularity or his athletic records or his knowledge. I'm here just to be here. Just because my face is practically everywhere doesn't mean I'm here to get publicity. I'm here to actually learn." I said. Izzy then threw her hands around me and hugged me. I stood there caught off guard for a moment before hugging her back.

"I knew you were cool, what I didn't now was that you were awesome. I think we'd be great friends. You are literally one of the few girls who isn't falling to their knees and staring at Jace every minute they can. I have a feeling I should thank you for that, Will." She said and I smiled at her.

"I am all in for being friends." I told Izzy and she quickly hugged me again before rushing away to her next class.

"Clare, I think you just made a friend." Will said.

"I think I did." I answered and we went to find our next class.

Jace's POV

I hate school.

I can't believe summer is over. I blindly search for my phone to shut the alarm off. When I finally succeed, I get up and go in the bathroom to have a quick shower. Once I'm done I wrap a towel around my hips and go back in my room. I open my dresser and take out a pair of black jeans, a dark blue t-shirt and underwear. I throw the clothes on, put on my socks and shoes, grab my leather jacket, phone and backpack and go downstairs.

My mom is already up and is in the kitchen cooking breakfast. I look around and see dad sitting at the table reading a newspaper.

"Good morning! How did you sleep? Are you ready for school?" My mom said noticing me.

"Good morning! Good and no." I answered her. She smiled and put a plate of pancakes in front of me. Once everyone was ready we started eating.

"I should get going now. I'll be home for dinner tonight. Have a great day!" My dad said standing up, giving mom a quick kiss and patting my shoulder.

"You should also get going. I don't want to get a call of you being late." She said and I got up. I kissed her quickly on the cheek and left.

I got in my car and closed the door. I put the keys in, my phone and backpack on the passenger seat and started my car. Out if the corner of my eye I saw the redhair coming out of her house. She stopped to lock the door and then touched something on the wall. She went in the garage and a few moments later her car drove out. On her driveway she stopped for a moment. Probably to shut the garage doors.

I started backing out of our driveway when I saw her speeding off from the place she had stopped just a second ago. I was already halfway on the road and she was nearing me fast. She then slammed on the breaks and honked and me. My car window was open and I could hear her yelling at me. I think she called me a son of a bitch and a piece of shit. For a girl she sure can swear.

I drove off and I could see she was following me. I pulled in the school parking lot and she didn't follow. I know she should be going to school here. I saw her at the ball yesterday. I parked my car and got out. I was instantly swarmed by girls, who can't catch a hint. I look around and see Jon looking for someone. He's face lights up and I look in the direction he is looking in.

A car is driving into the parking lot. But not just any car. It's the car. The redhaired girl got everyone looking in her direction. Everyone knows it's a new car around here and I can hear whispers wondering who the hell is it. The male population of the school is drooling over the car, the female is drooling over the driving skills of the 'guy'.

As soon as she finds a parking spot, she slides into it and shuts the car off. The car's windows are slightly tinted so no-one can see who it actually is. Only Jon is the other on who seems to know. The girl slowly opens her car door. She picked the parking spot where everyone can see the car and the open door but not the inside of the car.

She puts one of her legs out on the ground and I hear a collective gasp. Damn, that girl has only shown you her leg and you gasp. They must be surprised it's a girl. She is wearing black high heeled combat boots. She then turns around and steps out the car. Now I hear an even bigger collective gasp but she doesn't seem to notice. I still can't see her face since it's covered by her red full hair. She takes her phone and a cup and closes the driver's door. She opens the next door and takes out her backpack. She closes the door and starts walking while locking her car doors.

The girl walks up to Jon? Why? Jon hugs her and says something to her and the girl answers. She then looks in my direction and I finally see her face. It's Clary fucking Fairchild! What the fuck is she doing here? She is still looking here while talking to Jon. Jon says something to her and she starts walking in my direction. Oh my God! She is coming here!

""My name is Clary by the way, we met at the ball yesterday, I believe." She said to me and I of course had to ruin everything by being a jerk.

"I know who you are." I told while staring at her. She looks at me with her eyes big from shock. I saw her handhands moving but I was too lost in her green eyes. Apparently she had opened her cup and the next thing I know my whole shirt is wet and warm from the coffee she just dumped on me. She dumped coffee in me? What the fuck is frong with her? I started swearing but she didn't even flinch.

"That's for cutting me off earlier. You do remember, right? Next time watch where you're going." She said looking at me with a hint of anger in her eyes. The girls around me started babbling about her being a bitch and so on and on. She walked back to Jon and I could hear him yelling at her.

"What the hell, Clare?! You don't just dump hot coffee on someone! Especially my best friend! What was that all about?!" he yelled at her. He called her Clare? Do they know each other?

"He is the guy that cut me off earlier. Plus, he didn't leave me alone last night at the ball. Remember, he asked for my name and then Will showed up? I admit I went over there to tell him to watch where he is going next time but then I saw his eyes and realised who he was. He answered way too cocky for my opinion so I just dumped my coffee on him. Is he always a cocky bastard?" She answered him with her voice raised a little, like she was pissed. Who's Will?

"Hey, did you see the poor guy in the parking lot with coffee all over him? Whoever did that is on my friends list, cause that guy is a cocky bastard." A guy said from behind her laughing. She turned around and gave him a quick kiss. Wait, is that Will? Wait, I know that face from somewhere. I just can't remember, where?

"I sure hope I'm on your friends list." Red said laughing. Yep, I'm going to call her that from now on. She messed with the wrong guys shirt.

"You did that?!" Will yelled and then high-fived her. She laughed and they kissed again. I could see Jon clearing his throat and the couple broke apart. They laughed at him and he walked away. The pair started talking and they soon walked in the school

The group of girls were still trying too hard to get my attention. Oh shit, I still have to change my shirt. Luckily I was going to go to the gym after school today so I have a spare shirt in my duffel bag. I'll just have to stop by home and get a new shirt for gym later. I went in the school and changed my shirt in the bathroom. I then went to get my schedule for this year.

I had Psychology first so I made my way to Ms. Lovelace's classroom. I sat down in my usual seat in the back of the classroom and waited for the class to start. A few minutes later Red and her boyfriend walked in and sat down next to each other. The teacher walked in a moment later and started the class.

She talked about pairing us herself for this year and I waited for my name to be called.

"Okay, last but not least. Ms. Fairchild will be paired up with Mr. Herondale," the teacher said and I stood up, because it was a rule in this classroom. Whenever students are to change their seats the male one has to change. In other occasions as the both partners being male or female, the one named first has to move.

"But Ms. Lovelace it seems that Mr. Herondale already has a partner," Red spoke up and the teacher smiled.

"Oh, it seems that I have forgotten that there are two Mr. Herondales in this class. You'll be paired with Jonathan Herondale." The teacher said and she looked at her until I cleared my throat in front of Red. She smiled at me with what seemed to be a fake smile and I smirked and sat down next to her.

The teacher talked for a long time before telling us that we can leave the classroom and make it back for the next lesson.

"Do you want to go out of here?" I asked Red

"Ew, I have a boyfriend, you know," she said with disgust visible on her face and I chuckled. "But I would like to talk about my fears and everything somewhere else. Where should we go?" I shrugged at that.

"We could go to a diner not far from here. It has the best food around here. Taki's? Ever heard of that?" I then said. She laughed and nodded.

"Who hasn't, it's my favourite. Well, we should get going." She said seeming more relaxed than earlier and took her things. Will sat in front of us with Izzy and when we passed him Red gave him a quick kiss.

"Hey, where are you going? Can we come with? We have absolutely no idea where to go to." Izzy said and Red smiled and nodded.

"No, Izzy you can most definitely not come with," Jace said. Red then pulled Will and Izzy up and started walking towards her car, not listening to my complaints. She unlocked her car and they sat in. I ran after ththem and glared at Red before getting in the backseat.

"Everyone buckle up. This one drives like a maniac." Will said and I was suddenly nervous. I saw her driving this morning and she had some serious skill. For a girl her size, handling a car like this should be hard but she seemed cool with that with easily speeding and driving past cars. She started backing out of the parking spot rather quickly and I saw that she wasn't even looking where she was going. Instead her eyes were locked with Will's. She is crazy!

"Oh my god, you are going to kill us if you keep driving like that. You didn't even look where you were going. You could've hit someone. And you were screaming at me for cutting you off. You drive like..." She turned the radio up so that I couldn't finish my complaining. When she realised I had finished she turned around and Will turned down the radio.

"That is called being aware of your surroundings. Even though I didn't look at the road while backing out I knew where I had to drive and I knew I wouldn't hit anyone because there was nobody here. Happy?" She said while grinning at me. Will wasn't wrong she does drive like a maniac and she certainly has something wrong in her head.

"And if you thought this is crazy, you haven't seen anything yet" Will said and she sped off. I yelled when Izzy grabbed my hand squeezing it hard. She took off so fast that I was surprised she didn't lose control over the car. I wonder who taught her to drive. I have seen videos of her driving away from paparazzi a few times and I'm surprised she is still allowed to drive.

So far all I have realised is that she looks hot today, like she did yesterday and every other day I've caught a glimpse of her. She is Will's girlfriend and is somehow connected to Jon. Her parents don't live in the house she lives in but yesterday at dinner Jon's parents showed up. She doesn't want photos taken with her at school and she won't give any autographs.

With that my thoughts were cut off as we had arrived at Taki's. We went inside and the waitress came to take our order. Somehow she is also connected to her but that was answered when Will called her sis. So she is Will's sister. But Cecily is also my cousin. What the fuck? That's Will Herondale, my annoying cousin. As long as he doesn't speak up on that I'll keep quiet.

We got our drinks and Will, Izzy and Red started talking immediately. I kept quiet as I was trying to figure out everything. Soon we had to start going and I knew I had to remind them that.

"We should get going. The class will be over soon." I said and they finished their drinks quickly. Red called the waitress over to get the bill.

"My treat. You can go back to the car otherwise we might end up late" Red said and everyone but me were okay with that. I don't want to be in debt to her.

"I can and I will pay for myself." I said and Red looked at me shock visible on her face.

"What is your problem?" She asked me slowly and now obviously angry. Will and Izzy turned around at that and Will looked scared. What the hell? He is scared that this little redhair is going to hurt someone, funny.

"Jace, you should just let her pay. We're going to be late." Izzy told him.

"Clary, calm down. You do not want to cause a scene. And Jace, just let her pay. I know all too well what will happen if you don't." Will said trying to talk us to senses. I continued glaring back at Red. Her stare was so full of anger. If looks could kill, I'd be in the ground by now. She kept glaring and her ice cold face showed no signs of giving up. I just broke the stare and stood up.

"Should we go now? I don't want to miss my next class because of some little girl having a temper tantrum." I said lazily. Oh shit. Her eyes got even more colder and I think I felt a little bit cold after that. If I could be in the ground before, then now I was probably cut into million little pieces and laying in a dumpster outside the city.

"You know, you should never piss her off. She is a Morgenstern by blood after all." Will said slowly to me like trying to get me to rethink my next move and apologize for what I said. Wait, did he say Morgenstern? As in Jon's last name Morgenstern? My face possibly might have lost all it's color after that. Morgenstern are know for their short temper. I have been in that house so many times and have seen many situations caused by that temper. As she saw my colorless face she smiled a devilish smile, slapped the money on the table and walked out. A few moments later we followed. Will ran after her actually.

As I stepped out of the diner I could see Red pacing in front of a wall, then stopping and staring at it and finally hitting it with all the force she could. Will rushed to her and hugged her from behind strapping her arms in the embrace. He lowered his head and started talking in her ear gently.

"Clary, I want you to think happy thoughts. I want you to breathe slowly and deeply. Think of the time you got the call about your record deal. Remember, you were so happy that you couldn't calm down until we went to the trampoline center so you could just jump it all out. Think of the time you got the call from your manager saying that you could go to school and take the year off. You were super excited. We went to the ice skating rink just so you could feel like you're floating and feel free. Remember all those times you were over the moon happy." Will said in her ear

Halfway through his speech he slowly turned her around and looked her in the eyes. With that move she finally was able to calm down. I noticed that she closed her eyes and a small smile appeared on her lips.

"Are you okay now?" Will asked and Red nodded. He kissed her head and started guiding her towards the car. Izzy and I had waited by the car for her to open the doors. Before doing that she walked straight to me and slapped me. Quite hard.

"Listen to me and listen to me close, Blondie. If you ever piss me off again, you'll have another thing coming. Since we're going to be late if we don't hurry up, I'll be nice this time and let you drive back in my car. If you so much as say a word you'll be out of the car and trying to make it back in time. Understand?" I was shocked when she threatened me. I looked her in the eyes and saw that she wasn't lying. I quickly nodded and she unlocked the doors. We got in anand she drove to the school. When she parked I couldn't get out the car fast enough.

I heard Izzy talking to her and then hugging her tight. They talked for a few minutes and then Izzy hugged Red again and rushed towards the school. Will and Red started walking towards the school a few moments after.

"It's not nice to stare." Izzy said from behind me. Seriously, what is with people sneaking up on people from behind them today?

"Mind your own business, Iz." I told her and then walking away. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into an empty classroom.

"What is your problem? You've never acted like this before. You were a huge dick back there. You could've just let her be. I just talked to that girl out there and she is not here to take anything away from you. You want to know what she said? She said she didn't want your popularity, your athletic records or your knowledge. She is just here to learn. Just like you and just like me and every other person in this school. But the big Jace Herondale just had to be a dick, right? Well quess what? That's not going to work anymore because now she is my friend and I intend to keep it that way." Izzy told me quietly screaming at me.

"You want to know what my problem is? It's her. Everything was fine before she showed up. I've had dozens of cars driving up to her house every single day disturbing me from doing anything. I just. I can't go on with her living a few houses away from me. You know how Jon and I have always been close. I had a mass of girls at my car this morning. Jon is usually the one who makes them go away. But not today. You know why? Because he was busy waiting for her. As soon as her car showed up Jon's face lit up. She got the attention she wanted. Then she came to me and dumped coffee all over my shirt. And she just moves on with her life, like nothing happened..." I ranted and she listened until she slapped me. Seriously?

"Shut the hell up already! Jon was waiting for her because she's his sister. She has friends coming to her house all the time because they miss her. She used to live here as a child, remember? Jon's twin sister? Short, redhaired, you used to make fun of her. Look at her now. She's calling out her haters, making a name for herself and many other things. All because you said something to her. Do you remember? You said she was an annoying little elf, who has high expectations. You told her that after she auditioned for that Disney show. The next day she was gone, because she got the role. Half a year later that was your favourite show. All that happened five years ago, when we were thirteen. I get that you are pissed that your best friend chose her over you, but he hasn't seen her in ages and he misses her." Izzy said and all the memories came flooding back.

"You're right. But that doesn't explain why Jon's car was one of the many cars that was at her house every single day after she arrived. He didn't even text me saying her sister was back in town. He visited her every day and after came by to say hi to me, his best friend." I said now angry at Jon.

"She is his twin sister. Get your act together or snap out of it or you know what, do whatever you want. I don't care. But please don't act like a dick. You ruined your chances once, you don't want to do that again." She said and walked out just before the bell. What did she mean by that?

Hey!

Sorry, I haven't posted. Christmas was on the way. Usually people expect you to spend time with your family. Well, not me. I just ate and watched TV although I did that with my family.

Of course I had a little bit of a knot in my brain that didn't let me think straight. So I had to write this over maybe twice.

Love you
