To Good to be True Chapter 4: Pep-rally, a mortal instruments fanfic

"5, 6, 7, 8 hit 1. Good job girls that's a wrap. Results will be posted by tomorrow morning." Maia says "Thank goodness that is done." I say to Maia it is now Wednesday night and the last three days have been completely stressful. I have had cheer tryouts as well as soccer and band practice, on top of that yesterday Collateral Damage was asked to perform at the pep rally on Friday. To simplify it I am exhausted. "I know" Maia says "now we just have to decide who makes it." "Do you want to go to mine and decide there?" I ask "Clary you know me so well. Do you have ice-cream?" "Don't I always?" I respond to her question "we can invite Izzy over after we make final cuts on the team." I say "YES it will be a total girl's night!" Maia squeals I start laughing at her "Oh my gosh. Where did that come from?" She asks covering her mouth "You my friend have been spending way too much time with Iz and Mags." I giggle it is then her turn to laugh at me "I guess I'm not the only one!"

Friday

It's Friday. That is the first thing I think of when I wake up this morning. This week has been the most stressful week of my life. We ended up only adding three more to the team including Izzy. We then spent all of yesterday's practice teaching the routine for the pep rally. I am now sitting on my porch with three different bags waiting for Izzy to come pick me up. I am scrolling through Instagram when I finally see Iz's red convertible turning the corner. I check the time and relies that we only have ten minutes before the homeroom bell rings, so I run down the steps and throw my bags in the back the jump in the car. "It's about time" I say "you can't rush perfection." She simply replies. "Yeah well if perfection makes us late you can explain it to Mrs. Pennhallow" I state rolling my eyes at her. "It would be my pleasure, maybe I can teach her ho w to properly apply eyeshadow." "Okay Iz, keep dreaming" I laugh at her.

Once we get to the school there is two minutes until the bell rings "Iz you are so lucky we got here on time." "Yeah, Yeah I will see you at lunch by Clary!" I wave bye to her and start walking to my homeroom "Collateral Damage to the office please, I repeat Collateral Damage to the office." I sigh and turn around heading towards the office.

On my way to the office I run into to Si "you ready for this?" I ask "I mean yeah why wouldn't I be, we have performed before." "Well yes but it is the first time you are performing in front of Isabelle Lightwood." I tease and with that he goes as red as my hair. "Awe Simon no need to try and blend in I with Miss Clary's hair." Jokes Magnus as he comes up to us. "What is he all embarrassed about?" Mags asks me "I am teasing him about his crush on one Miss Isabelle Lightwood." I explain Magnus makes an oh face. I just nod my head. "Si if it makes you feel better you and Mags could be brother-in-law's someday if it works out." I say as we arrive at the office. He just looks at me like I am crazy. "I just so happen to know that Maggie over there has taken a liking to one Alec Lightwood. So don't look at me like I belong in a mental institution."

As awe walk into Mrs. Pennhallows office we notice that Jordan and Maia are already here. "Ah there is the rest of the band." Mrs. P says "Did we do something wrong?" Simon says asking the question we have all been thinking " No, not at all I just wanted to check in to make sure that you guys are still good with playing today." She replies "Yep they will be performing two originals and a cover of Love Like War by All Time Low." Magnus answers for us. "Great! You guys don't have to go to class today, just get ready to perform. I will see later you are dismissed." Mrs. P says. We walk out of the room. "Alright crew let's go practice." Magnus says.

"Will the fall sports teams please report to the gym." We hear over the intercom "Well that's our que to ready. Let's meet back here in ten minutes." Jordan says and with that the boys head to their locker room and Maia and I head to the girls. By the time we all got back the whole school is in the gym. "It is my honor to welcome Idris's own Collateral Damage!" Mrs. P say and we run out with Simon and Maia playing the intro to our song

Bold Clary

La la la, la la la da da
La la la, la la la da da
(Woo!)

Just a kid, it's all the same
Growing up, it doesn't change
Who are they to try and put us down?
Had enough of what they say
Sick and tired of all their games,
Stand up and sing it with me now

La la la, la la la da da
La la la, la la la da da

Just a girl who turned eighteen
She ran away to chase her dreams.
And they said she wouldn't make it far.
She took a chance and packed her bags
She left town and didn't look back
So tired of wishing on the stars (wishing on the stars)

La la la, la la la da da
La la la, la la la da da

So save me from who I'm supposed to be
Don't wanna be a victim of authority
I'll always be a part of the minority
Save me from who I'm supposed to be
So tell me, tell me, tell me what you want from me,
I don't wanna be another social casualty

La la la, la la la da da (go)
La la la, la la la da da (scream)

So save me from who I'm supposed to be
Don't wanna be a victim of authority
I'll always be a part of the minority

Save me from who I'm supposed to be
So tell me, tell me, tell me what you want from me,
I don't wanna be another social casualty

La la la, la la la da da
(Social casualty)
La la la, la la la da da

"okay so I think everyone here knows us but in case you don't, on the drums we have Jordan, next on the bass and vocals is Maia, then over here we have Simon on guitar and vocals and finally little old me Clary as the lead singer. That last song is called Social Casualty, and next we will be doing a cover of Love Like War by All Time Low enjoy!

Make a wish on our sorry little hearts
Have a smoke, pour a drink, steal a kiss in the dark
Fingernails on my skin like the teeth of a shark
I'm intoxicated by the lie

In the chill of your stare I am painfully lost
Like a deer in the lights of an oncoming bus
For the thrill of your touch I will shamefully lust
As you tell me we're nothing but trouble

Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war

We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all, whoa

Fail-safe trigger, lock-down call
Wipe the dry clean-slate, quick, sound the alarm
No escape from the truth and the weight of it all
I am caught in the web of a lie

And the bitch of it all is that I'm running from
The desire of the people to whom I belong
At the end of the day you can tell me I'm wrong
'Cause you went to all of this trouble

Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war

We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all, whoa
(Let's go!)

Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
It feels like war (it feels like war)
Love feels like war (love feels like war)

Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Love feels like war, war
Feels like war, war
(

one more time!)

We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all, whoa

Is this the end of us or just the means to start again?

after we play we sit down and Mrs. P steps back out "Please help me welcome the Idris football team!" she then walks to the side and the football team comes out. Jordan steps up to the mic "Hey Warriors!" he shouts and everyone screams. "I would just like to say that we are extremely happy to announce that we have a new starting quarterback and kicker please help us welcome Jace Herondale and Alec Lightwood!" everyone starts screaming again, and they go sit down. "Okay next up we have girls varsity soccer." I stand up with my team and Maia and I head to the mic, give a little speech then sit down. It continues on and before I know it it's time for us to perform our last song. "Hey it's us again this song goes out to the Jack-ass who knows who he is."

You wanna play, you wanna stay, you wanna have it all
You started messing with my head until I hit a wall
Maybe I should've known, maybe I should've known
That you would walk, you would walk out the door, hey!

Said we were done, then met someone and rubbed it in my face
Cut to the part, she broke your heart, and then she ran away
I guess you should've known, I guess you should've known
That I would talk, I would talk

But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Oh oh oh I really don't care

I can't believe I ever stayed up writing songs about you
You don't deserve to know the way I used to think about you
Oh no not anymore, oh no not anymore
You had your shot, had your shot, but you let go

Now if we meet out on the street I won't be running scared
I'll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air
And make you understand, and make you understand

You had your chance, had your chance

But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Oh oh oh I really don't care

Yeah, listen up
Hey, hey, never look back,
Dumb struck boy, ego intact
Look boy, why you so mad
Second guessin', but should've hit that
Hey Clary, you picked the wrong lover
Should've picked that one, he's cuter than the other
I just wanna laugh, cause you're tryna be a hipster
Kick him to the curb, take a Polaroid picture

With that everyone is dismissed and we head over to hang out at my place.

So sorry it took me so long to update. I have been grounded for the past three weeks :( but I'm back! thank you for all the positive reviews, favorites and follows!

I have a couple questions for you all.

1. I need something to call you guys, what should it be? (remember my pen name is nerdgirlfamily)

2. How should i incorporate Valentine and Jonathan in the story? Should her mom and dad just be divorced and her mom got custody of her while her dad got her brother? SHould they have died? Or something else?

3. What do you want the next chapter to be about? Clace date? their gig? Or Iz and Magnus forcing Clary and Maia to go Shopping?

Let me know what you think! Kisses nerdgirlfamily
