The school bell rang, knocking me out of my daydream of my old life, I missed L.A so much. When I first moved there with my father, I thought that I could never love anywhere but New York. But like their weird 'New York Style' pizza, it grew on me. But it`s not like I hate it here. Some part of me always wanted to move back New York, and after Sebastian, it gave me an excuse. The only reason why I missed it was mainly because of Dad. Sure, he was a bit of workaholic, but we got on well enough. I was the substitute for Jon at the start, when I was 10, Jon 11, we decided to live with the other parent. I still visited Jocelyn in the Summer break then Jon would come back with me to live in L.A for a few weeks. Regardless, I missed living here.

"Common Clary, snap out of it." Izzy snapped her fingers, bringing me out of my thoughts once again. I knew Izzy was being nice to me only because I was Jon`s sister. She grabbed my arm, dragging me off to the science labs. She had a very tight grip, like a vice. She seemed the type that didn`t have any real friends who were girls, this was defiantly a grip you would only give a boy. I just hoped that I wouldn`t have a bruise. God knows what was lined up for P.E.

"So Clary, I was thinking that this Friday we could have a sleepover, you know, just us girls." She stated enthusiastically. "Like watch some films, stuff ourselves with popcorn, whatever. " Yeah, she definitely only had friends who were boys. I guessed that no matter what I said though, there was no way I was getting out of this.

"That'll be cool." I replied simply. She squealed loudly, her nails unknowingly biting into the soft flesh of my arm.

"Wow, really, I've never really had a sleepover with another girl before, though I guess you could count Magnus as one right?" She didn`t wait for my reply before continuing, " Wait, I just had a really cool idea, what if we painted each other's nails, did each other's make up and hair, even get an outfit to go with it, then go clubbing?" Clubbing? I'd never even went to a high school party, and shouldn`t that go before clubbing.

"Uh, Izzy, I'm not sure Jon would ever allow me to go to a party here, let alone a club." I said, hoping that that would stop her.

"Oh don't worry about him, if he sais no, I'll just blackmail him" she stated. " Now common, we have to get to science quick, wouldn`t want to make a bad impression of ourselves now would we?" I gave her a slightly disbelieving look, but she acted as if she didn`t see it.

Biology dragged on for what felt like forever. By the end Izzy had to keep on nudging me to make sure I hadn`t fallen asleep. I loved biology last year, but that was last year, and in L.A. Here though, not so much. Mr Starkweather was a very boring teacher. Every student seemed to also seemed to think that too. Izzy was the only one who didn`t look like she was going to yawn. But then all she did this lesson was look at her phone. Finally break, then P.E.

"Izzy?"

"yeah?"

"What will we be doing for P.E?"

"Um, some laps, running, basketball I guess."

"Ok."

The locker room looked more dirty than the one back in L.A. The showers looked decades old and so did the changing rooms. I hung my bag on the peg nearest and started getting changed into my gear. Izzy took the peg next to me and started changing too. We changed in silence, though everyone else was talking. Once we were both finished, we walked outside to the field, where we saw a bunch of senior boys warming up for football. Scanning my eyes across the field, I soon spotted Jon. I gazed at him, he hadn`t changed that much since last year, though I had. He had grown a bit but other than that, he'd stayed roughly the same. He looked so much like dad, as much as I did of Mum. He`d gotten quite a surprise when he'd came back from a holiday with friends and found me permanently living with mum again. He didn`t know the real reason behind why I was here, I'd made sure that only Mum knew, by the time he came back, all the bruises from Sebastian had healed on both my face and arms. He just thought that missed New York and them. He soon felt my gaze on his back, turning around, he looked confused for a second before realising it was me not Jocelyn. He frowned though when he saw Izzy, confused once again. He started running towards us. Stooping only about 1 meter away before hugging me tightly.

"Can`t... Breathe...Jon, Get off me." I gasped, he let go of me.

"Good to see you to sis." He let go of me "I guess you made it alive to school then, sorry for making you walk by the way." He said, unapologetically. I'm guessing that you already met my girlfriend Izzy then?" He added kissing her.

"Yeah, she`s my 'tour guide/buddy'." I replied.

"That`s good, hope you guys don`t hate each other already?" He asked warily.

"Nah, she`s like a little sister to me already. " Izzy interjected.

"That`s great." He said smiling.

"What's great?" a new voice asked. I looked behind Jon to see a 2 boys, they looked both alike yet totally unalike. The first one looked just like Izzy, but a more shy version. He had raven black hair just like her, but unlike Izzy`s dark brown, nearly black eyes, he had piercing blue ones, which stood out against his pale skin. The second one though, seemed the total opposite. He was all golden, literally. with golden hair and skin, which was sun kissed and smooth. I had to stop my jaw from dropping. As though they were both so different, they shared one similarity, and that was by both being breathtakingly beautiful. The golden one seemed to notice me staring, and glanced at me. As our eyes locked, I almost gasped, his eyes were golden too, not a dull brown type, but a bright, melting gold. he looked surprised with me, though I didn`t know why.

"Oh Jace, didn`t hear you. " Jon said as he turned around to look at the golden one. As soon as Jace broke gazes with me, I felt as if the spell was broken and I was able to breathe again. I hoped I wasn`t blushing.

"Who`s this?" The black haired boy asked.

"Oh, Alec, Jace, let me introduce you to my sister Clary." He said wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"Where did you come from then?" Jace asked me curiously, locking eyes with me once again.

"L.A" Izzy answered for me.

"Really, what`s it like there?" Alec asked.

"Hot, sunny, Beautiful-"

"And nothing like here, " Jon cut in ", honestly Clare, I don`t know why you ever left there to live here." I didn`t know what to say, I was a rubbish liar, so I kept honest.

"Because I could never do this while I lived there." I replied kicking him in the shin.

"Ow," Jon shouted Jon, rubbing his shin.

"Valid point." Izzy added. I smirked as he started complaining about it bruising.

"Suck it up you big baby." I teased him.

"Oh yeah Clary, as if you`ve ever been bruised miss perfect." My smile faded. I thought of Sebastian suddenly, every time he even touched me, he would leave a dark purple or black bruise. I must of paled considerably as Jace, who seemed to be studying my face looked at me curiously again.

"Clary are you-"

"MORGENSTERN, LIGHTWOOD AND WAYLAND! COME BACK HERE NOW, STOP DAWDLING!" The football coach shouted. Jace seemed to forget about me momentarily as he turned back to Jon and Alec.

"We better go, don`t want him to make us run too many laps. Bye Izzy, Clary." He said, shooting me one final curious look before all three of them ran away. Before Izzy could even say something though, our coach called all the girls over. Informing us that we would be doing laps most lesson, there were a bunch of girls groaning in annoyance. But I didn`t see what was so wrong? I loved running, It gave you time to think. Izzy seemed to think the same as me, as she was the only one jumping in joy.

So sorry for not updating yesterday, but it`s only a day late, not 1 month. so, here was the Clace I was waiting to show, next chapter will show it from Jace's POV. Please review, it means so much to me. Also, I hope this chapter is long enough, this is the most I`ve ever written for one chapter btw.

Also I want to say that the reason behind Izzy being unkind or mean to Clary was because I'm trying to relate with what happens with Izzy in the books, with her not really having any friends who were girls so she doesn`t know how to act with Clary. But they will become friends. I also don`t know whether Izzy and Jon will stay together, I do want Sizzy. But I also don`t know who to pair Jon with? Any ideas? If you do please comment in the reviews.

One more thing. I might continue with my original story 'The Lost World'. But should I rewrite it, or just have one more chapter to end it?

Please review.
