I do not own the Mortal instruments

I do not own all the song in this chapter

Today Jem, Will and Tessa are coming! I nearly run to school (which is a bad thing, remembering everybody hates school). Isabelle is panting behind me, she looks stunning even though she's sweating. She's wearing a white t-shirt, zebra skirt and black high heels. I stop and look at my clothes. I'm wearing white sleeveless blouse with brown shorts and black lace boots. Nothing compare to Iz, she looks stunning while I look… normal? You could say that.

"You should've wait for me Clare." Iz says, still breathing heavily after the run.

"Sorry." I reply shortly and begin to walk again. We didn't even wait for Simon; we rush to Biology classroom and sit at our usual tables. Not long after that Simon comes and the bell rings. The teacher walks in and starts to explain on the board.

"What is it this time, Sis?" Jon asks while looking at me weirdly, he sits next to me and starts to eat his food.

"My friends from Cali are coming!" I say loudly. Jon looks plainly curious while Jace, Iz, Simon, and Alec looks at me shock.

"Why didn't you tell us?!" They all say in unison.

"Um… I forgot?" I answer them unsure. They all begin to ask me about my friends, but I refuse to tell them anything.

"Just see for yourself." Is all I can say to them. They look defeated and move on to another topic until the bell rings. We start to get up and head to Music.

-Page Break-

"I want each one of you to perform the song that inspire you. Start to prepare, I will be back!" Mrs. Branwell says, and leaves the room.

"So what song are you playing, Iz?" I ask to Isabelle, she looks up at me from her phone.

"Definitely Roar, it suits me right?" I nod at her reply and start to think for a song that inspires me. After a while, I figure it out.

Mrs. Branwell walks in and calls us by our last name. Isabelle gets call before me and she walks to the front and starts to sing Roar by Katy Perry. Her voice is so soft but tough too. I stare at her in amazement. I clap so hard when she finishes.

Alec sings Hall of Fame by The Script. He sings calmly, I wonder if he ever gets nervous. Jace is exactly the opposite of him, he sings I'm Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO. Oh god, he's so full of himself. I don't intend to look at him when he performs so I look away.

"Morgenstern, Clarissa" Mrs. Branwell calls me. I walk steadily to the front, careful not to fall or do something embarrassing and head to the Piano. I take a breath and start to play it. I love this song, it's beautiful and it inspires me.

Some folks like to get away,

Take a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood

But I'm takin' a Greyhound on the Hudson River line

I'm in a New York state of mind

I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines

Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.

I know what I'm needin' and I don't want to waste more time.

I'm in a New York State of mind.

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York times, The Daily News

It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide

I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside.

I don't have any reasons

I left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line

Cause I'm in a, I'm in a New York state of mind.

I didn't even look up to the crowd when I sing; I only stare at the piano. I stand up from the piano and bow to the crowd. They clap for me, then I head to my table and sit beside Iz.

"You're amazing up there!" she squeaks and hugs me.

"You too!" I hug him back, and we pull away from each other to see Jon performs. He's performing Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. I love that song! Iz and me start to sing along, the others look at us weirdly but we brush it off.

Art didn't take much time than I expected. Ms. Reyna told us to make a scenery painting. I quickly paint scenery from the hills of Alicante High. I don't even bother to talk to Jace. Jem, Tessa and Will are all I can think of. I'm in the middle of my painting when Jace greet me.

"Hey." Jace greet me kindly. Well that's odd, Jace never been kind to anyone.

"Hey. What's up?" I reply him, not looking away from my canvas.

"I don't know, you seem to be lost in though."

"Well I am."

"Care to elaborate?"

"Thinking about my friends from Cali." He nods and I continue my painting. I finish it and begin to check my painting. After making sure it looks good, I hand it to Ms. Reyna and grab my books from my table. I smile to Jace and head to my locker. He smiles back at me before continuing his painting.

I grab my Sports clothes from my locker and put my other books in there. I head to the changing room and change my clothes. I walk to the gym and see that no one has arrived. Soo, I grab a basketball and begin to play it. I do a lay up and some free styles.

"I didn't know you can play it that good." Says a voice behind me. Jace. I stop immediately and turn around to meet him. He walks to me and grab the ball. He starts to do a lay up but fail. I laugh so hard and earn a glare from him.

"What? You think you can do better than me?" He asks annoyed.

"Yes, actually I can." I say while laughing. I head to him and starts to help him do a lay up. My hand is holding his hand and the other is on his waist. I start to blush remembering how close we are. He starts to do it the way I taught him and he finally did it well!

"Thanks, Red." He says and run to hug me. We hug tightly and didn't realize that Iz, Jon, Simon, and Alec are already here. Iz cough and we pull apart quickly. Jon looks back and forth from me and Jace, and he smirks at me. I blush and look down to my shoes. I'm save by Coach Hodge and others students who are finally arrive.

Coach tells us to make a huge circle and he says the girls are doing gymnastic while the boys will be practicing soccer today. He asks the girls to do split, roll and to make a pyramid with me on top, because I'm the tiniest of them all. I grab a mat with Iz and put it next to hers. We start to do split on top of it. Coach Hodge sees us and tells us that we do a good split and roll.

"I didn't know you're good at gymnastic, Clare." Iz says to me, sweating after the goddamn gymnastics thingy.

"Neither do I, I join dance club in Alicante High." I tell her and shrug.

"That's why you're good at gymnastics. Dance is nearly the same with Gymnastics." She explains to me.

The others call us to join the Pyramid and we stop our chat and head to them.

They throw me up in the air and I try to do a flip in the air. It goes well. I see that the boys stop their activity and instead, they are looking at us. After half an hour Coach Hodge stops us and tells us that we can have a break.

"You guys did great, especially you Clary. I didn't know you could do a flip in the air. Well done guys." He says to us.

I grab my water bottle and drink it. I stop when Iz taps me from behind and ask me to join her. She drags me to the bleachers outside and I see that Jace, Simon, Alec and Jonathan are already there.

"I didn't know you could do a flip in the air! Thank god, you didn't fall." Jonathan says dramatically. I sigh, and run my hand through my hair.

"I didn't know either, I just want to try it." I sit In between Jace and Isabelle, not too near to Jonathan, because I don't want to hear about his complaints again and again.

"Well I think you look stunning." Jace says to me, I swear that he blushes when he says that. Isabelle looks at me and mouthed what's going on with Jace. I shrug.

I instantly run to my locker after changing my clothes. I grab my bag quickly and head to my car. I wait for Iz, Jon, Alec, Si and Jace before heading to the airport to pick Jem, Will, and Tess. After 5 minutes waiting, they finally come through the door.

"Where have you guys been?" I say impatiently.

"Changing our clothes?" Simon suggests.

"At least you all can do it faster." I retort back.

"Well sorry, your highness." Jace reply. I glare at him and he quickly shut his mouth.

"Isabelle you're coming with me to the airport. Boys, I want you guys to tidy the house. I'll kill you one by one if I see that the house is in an awful condition. Understand?" I explain to them, they all nod and I head back to my car. Before I can get in my car, Jace stops me.

"See you later at your house." Then he kisses my cheek and leaves to his car. Thank god, Iz is the only one who sees it. She raise and eyebrow to me, but before she can ask anything I grab her hand and push her in the car.

I drive silently. Iz haven't asked me about Jace so I remain silent. Finally after a long while Iz have the courage to speak up to me.

"So… What's that?" She asks and looks at me.

I keep my eyes straight at the road and reply her.

"I don't know, he says see you later and kiss me on the cheek. It's not even counted as a kiss, it's only a peck I guess." I reply to her, and she nods knowing that I don't like this type of conversations.

Finally we arrive at the airport, I park the car and text Jem.

From: Clarissa Morgenstern

Where are you? I just arrived. I'm in the parking lot.

I got a reply instantly.

From: James Carstairs

We're in the lobby, what's your car? We're heading to the parking lot now.

From: Clarissa Morgenstern

It's an Audi R7. You can see it from the front of the airport.

I get out from my car and wait for them in front of the car. Then I see a silver hair that I recognize anywhere.

"Jem!" I call him, he quickly turn his head around see me. He starts to run and pull me into a hug.

"How's my Ariel doing?" He asks while hugging me. We pull apart and I can see he's smiling right now. His grey eyes have a glint of excitement in it.

"I'm fine! Where are Tessa and Will? I hope they're not making out right now." I say jokingly.

"We are not making out." Will reply behind Jem. I see Tessa is blushing madly right now. They're a couple not long after me and Seb becomes a couple.

I grin and hug him tightly.

"Need… Air…Clare" I loosen the hug and he hugs me back. After Will, I quickly walk to Tessa.

"Miss you so much Tessie!" I say and then hug her. She smiles and hugs me back.

"Hey! That's her nickname from me and only me." Will exclaims from behind us. I roll my eyes to him. We start to tell each other our stories. Alicante High is still the same but much more gloomy without me.

"Ehem. Clare, you could introduce me." Isabelle says to me. Oops, I completely forget about her. I quickly introduce them to each other. Will looks like Isabelle with that black jet hair and stunning blue eyes. Maybe they're related. Who knows?

"Maybe we should head home right now. The others are waiting for us." I say to Jem, Will and Tessa. They nod and I drive the car to my house.

Isabelle starts to chat excitedly; I sometimes nod to her so she knows I'm listening.

"So, who are your partners to the Homecoming Dance Clare?" Iz asks me. Damn, I forgot about it. Who am I coming with? It's tomorrow and I haven't even got a date.

"I don't know." I reply quietly. Before Iz can say anything, Jem cut her off.

"You can go with me Clare. Tessa will be with Will obviously, and I don't have a date either. Is it okay with you?" He asks me carefully.

I nod. "Of course! I'd love to." I answer back. He smiles warmly at me and I smile back.
