Entry tags: Clary, homework, call me

Hey, Clary – I know you're probably with your mom, but when you got back to Luke's, will you give me a call? Or we can chat here. I'm supposed to be doing homework – not that we ever have homework on the first day, you know? My parents haven't caught on yet.

If one of them walks in, I've already got battle strategies in place. I have Word minimized in another window, with like two paragraphs of BS. And Calculator open. Brilliant, right? You'd be proud.

I miss talking to you. I hope you survived the Big Day.

Sorry, Simon. I didn't get out of detention until 5. And we stayed with mom for an hour. I just got home.

Simon_Is_Kosher
Detention? Explain, Fray!

AngelicClary
I didn't graffiti the school or anything awful. I wore flipflops. I thought we could, and I thought it'd be fun to wear something different to school, you know? Apparently they take footwear VERY SERIOUSLY.

Simon_Is_Kosher
Wow. So what'd you have to do? Scrub toilets?

AngelicClary
NO! We didn't have work detail. That's prison, not school.

Simon_Is_Kosher
There's a difference?

AngelicClary
Maybe not for me. But there's nothing wrong with St. Xavier's. I really miss it.

Simon_Is_Kosher
Yeah, twas a said day embarking on a new school year without you by my side, Fray.

AngelicClary
Don't I know…

Simon_Is_Kosher
But hey, we got a new girl too.

AngelicClary
Oh…?

Simon_Is_Kosher
Yeah, she's a junior. Her name is Maia.

AngelicClary
Pretty name.

Simon_Is_Kosher
Yeah. She's in my AP Physics class. Supposedly she came from a really good magnet school, so she placed in some senior classes too.

AngelicClary
Ah. So you got to talking?

Simon_Is_Kosher
Yeah, we shared a book. And we went to lunch together. She seems pretty cool. She's got really big shoulders for a girl.

AngelicClary
Big shoulders?

Simon_Is_Kosher
Yeah. She's a lot bigger than you.

AngelicClary
Like that's hard to do. The average person is bigger than me.

Simon_Is_Kosher
Yeah. You're such a dwarf, Fray.

AngelicClary
Shut up, Lewis. I'm closing this window now.

Current Location: Four walls and lots of boxes.
Mood: Abject misery.

This wretched, miserable, embarrassing, hateful, painful, worthless, self-pitying day is finally over.

And you know the best part about it? The only really redeeming thing? Luke bought me a hot corned beef sandwich, which I usually don't like – but today it was really good and just what I needed. My fingers are stained from the mustard now, but it was sweet. It really was.

Yes, I know Simon (I'm sure you're going to read this as soon as it's up) – I appreciated your texts. But it's not like you could do anything. Like spring me in the middle of the day. I thought about it, though.

There are almost no windows at school. The hallways smell like paint and floor cleaner, and fear. I can't imagine what kind of torture goes on behind closed doors. Well, maybe I can. I had several classes today.

There are a lot of weird people there. Like this one boy – this jock, that is always being followed around by girls with their camera phones. Like he's a movie star or something. I bet their blogs are full of pictures of him, candid shots from school. And they're sending pic messages on their phone. Ugh, it's gross. He's just a boy.

He tried to talk to me in detention – but I already promised myself not to get too close to a boy that looks perfectly comfortable in after-school. I'm guessing he's a rule-breaker and a heart-breaker.

Enough of him.

So, there's also this girl that said I could get away with texting in one class if I'm careful. Note: midday-ish, Simon. That'll be our time. She was wearing these tall heels and a short skirt I swear wasn't regulation. But she wouldn't say her name. In fact, the only two people (aside from teachers) that introduced themselves to me were that boy…Jace…and this other guy I met in the hall. Sebastian. He helped me break into my confounded locker. He was OK. I guess.

And to think, I've got to do this all over again tomorrow.

I've never hated school so much… Sigh.

Nice work, Fray. Two admirers in one afternoon. Think you can introduce me to the skirt/heels girl?

AngelicClary
Shut up, Simon. I'm wallowing in misery, here. I don't need you to make it worse.

Simon_Is_Kosher
Sorry. You wanna talk later?

AngelicClary
Maybe. I'll call you.

Simon_Is_Kosher
OK.

I'm not going to spend this entire entry God-worshipping. I know you all got enough of that last time round.

But let me just say, if he isn't featured in at least one of my dreams, I'm going to be very disappointed. I'm going to think happy thoughts and hope to fly.

Don't you need fairy dust for that?

High_WarlockMB
I've got loads. Roll on glitter. What!

Ragnor_Fell
Great. You can sparkle in your sleep.

High_WarlockMB
Maybe I'll save it for tomorrow.

Ragnor_Fell
What do you mean? You're going to wear glitter to school?

High_WarlockMB
Yeah, why not?

Ragnor_Fell
Ummm…because they'll eat you alive?

High_WarlockMB
Isn't that the point?

Ragnor_Fell
I meant that you're going to get hazed at some point, freak.

High_WarlockMB
I doubt it. And maybe a certain God will notice me streaking down the hall if I'm sparkly.

Ragnor_Fell
Uh huh. Or he'll mistake you for a fairy, and run away.

High_WarlockMB
Thanks for the pep talk, Paul.

Ragnor_Fell
Any time, sweetheart.

What'd I miss at practice?

Alec_Lightweight
Umm…why don't you just come down the hall and talk to me?

Suck_My_Jace
I wasn't sure if you were already sleeping or what. And now I don't feel like getting up.

Alec_Lightweight
Want me to come to you?

Suck_My_Jace
No, it's cool. Gonna go to bed in a minute.

Alec_Lighweight
Since when? Your light's always on past midnight.

Suck_My_Jace
Thanks for noticing.

Suck_My_Jace
I was kidding.

Suck_My_Jace
Still there?

Alec_Lightweight
Yeah.

Suck_My_Jace
So how was that dick?

Alec_Lightweight
Who?

Suck_My_Jace
Sebastian.

Alec_Lightweight
Oh. He didn't say anything to me. He only seems to get chatty when you're around.

Suck_My_Jace
Hah. Asshole.

Alec_Lightweight
Why do you hate him so much?

Suck_My_Jace
Did you ever notice how much his face looks like an ant-eater's?

Alec_Lightweight
Umm…no.

Suck_My_Jace
It's his nose. Totally rivals Mr. Hugo's nose.

Alec_Lighweight
It's not THAT bad.

Suck_My_Jace
Believe me, it is.

Alec_Lightweight
OK, well I'm going to bed now.

Suck_My_Jace
Sweet dreams…

Alec_Lightweight
Yeah. Thanks.
