Disclaimer: I do not own anything or one in this story other then Clary's bathing suit in the first chapter. Actually no. Not even that. It's a friends.

I would really appreciate it if you could write a review. I understand how terribly annoying this is for you to do but if you want a better story, please do speak your mind.

I think I would like to write a few more chapters and if I don't get many positive reviews, I'll quit.

Enjoy.


The rest of the night was hard to remember in my opinion. All I did was drink pop, then fall asleep. I would not want to know what the rest of the group (*cough cough* Izzy, Will *cough cough* Jace*) had in mind next. Certainly not a game I would enjoy playing. Possibly 7 minutes in heaven which would be rather awkward. And gross.

I woke up from my deep slumber around 2:00 and decided I needed to get away from the horrid atmosphere of teenagers and drama. I slowly walked outside to the lake. It was surprisingly a calm night (Or early morning, whatever.) because the waters barley moved. I had changed into my bathing suit bottoms knowing I would somehow get wet by either sitting in the water or falling in. I sat down on the marginal side of the beach just were the water hit my upper legs. I loved the feeling of cold lake water hitting my legs. I most certainly did not want to swim in such drastic temperatures but did indeed enjoy touching it. I fiddled around with the sand, molding it as if it were clay.

In truth and honesty, I could not stand my life at the moment. Everything was falling apart. My mum and dad had recently moved back to Whales but Will and Jace would not go. Of course being the dull stubborn me I insisted on staying with them. But in truth I did not enjoy it the littlest bit. I hated the way Jace and Will would have friends over now a days more then often and how I couldn't. I despised the way they would now team up on me to get what they wanted. And most of all, I hated how I had to move into the basement because Jace wanted my room. I understood he did not enjoy living and sleeping were Ella had once but did I have to be the one to move? Of course I did though I don't mind it as much as I act like I do. It was quite enjoyable being able to have an entire basement to myself.

Of course then there was the situation of popularity, romance and dating. These all blended in well if you are a teenager to be honest. Okay so popularity. Izzy wants the best for me I get it, but I never really minded staying in the shadow of Will and Jace. I never really wanted to be noticed or popular. I didn't care if I was walking out of the house in my jamies or not. I didn't worry about anything other then grades when it came to school. Then Izzy came over one day. She looked completely like everything I was not. Pretty, popular and most of all, not a care in the world. She treated me as if I were a lost puppy, as if I needed her resueing. But I was happy then. I had friends. Izzy didn't seem very convinced however and tried to set me up on a date. I spent the entire afternoon allowing Izzy to put on what seemed like thousands of layers of makeup on me and she shoved me in a mini skirt, tube top and high heel boots. The guy was totally perverted and I ended up punching him square in the nose.

"What do you think you are doing?"

I spin around to see Will, half angry, half worried and all pissed.

"What does it look like William?" He glared, "I couldn't sleep."

"So you go out in the middle of the night were you could get kidnaped! Celina Herondale what were you thinking?"

I simply gave Will a death stare. When ever I used his full name William, he called me Celina even though it wasn't mine. Mine was Cecily of course. Will was such a wit sometimes.

"Oh that's not why your worried." I glared up at him.

"What is that suppose to mean Cecily?"

"For the past month you couldn't care less about me! Why now? No Will, you see that's the problem with you! You seem to block everyone out when it matters but it can never happen to you!"

He looked at me in an exasperated state of shock.

"I was just leaving anyways." And with that I marched off to slumber once more.


I woke up that morning with the handsome face of Gideon in front of me. He looked as if concerned for my health though I had no idea why.

"Oh your awake Cecy," He paused and grinned a smile that lit up his entire face, "Sofie make that 24 pancakes!" 24?

"Let me guess," I asked sleepily, "Breakfast."

"Si." Did Gideon just say si, "You might want to change..." I looked down at my clothes I noticed that I was still in my black swimming bottoms and t-shirt.

"Oh," I blush, "Thank you."

Gideon leaves and I grab my clothes and change.

I walked out and saw all eyes stare at me. Will had a guilty spark in his eye as did Jace, who I am sure that Will told the episodes of last night to. Tessa however, had a curious look on her face. Of course she does, I think She's Tessa after all.

"I heard something about pancakes?"

"Yups!" We all turn around to see Sophie (I realized I have been spelling her name like my cousin's, this is how it is spelled in the book.) "Cecy do you want honey?"

I nodded mutely. Clary patted on the seat next to her and I sat down and we launched into a conversation with Maia.

"Cecy, besides fencing, you should try, like, volleyball or something."

"Is that because you do it Maia?" She grins.

"Of course it is," Clary rolls her eyes, "Or you should try other things, you like to read right?"

"No. You are most likely mistaking me for Will." They muttered apologizes and we continued on with the conversation.

"Perhaps I will try archery," I think aloud. Izzy's older brother Alec, teaches the class now, even though he is in collage, Alec teaches the classes for extra credit.

"Gabriel is in that class..." Clary snickers and Maia joins in. Goodness, they were quite annoying sometimes. I stick my tongue out at them and eat my pancakes. Mmm... Sophie made amazing pancakes. And scones. I do love scones, though, Gideon never seems to like them but insists on eating some anyways. Go figure.

"So what is the plan for today?" I hear Izzy speak.

"We should go to Seelie's party (Yes in the books she is the fairie queen.) I heard it's her parents aren't home for the month and she's gonna have a huge party." I turn to see Will speaking, of course.

"You got invited?" Tessa questions.

"Yeah, me and Jace."

"As fun as this has been," I cut in, "I really would rather not go to Queen Bee's party."

"Me either," Maia cut agrees, "No for me."

We both walk out of the room to retrieve our belongings. A few minutes afterwards, I see Sofie, Gideon, Jordan and Gabriel walk in as well.

"She's horrid, vile, mean." Maia was saying, "She's the Queen Bee."

"More like Queen Bitch." (Eeeeh I hate swearing but it seemed right.) Jordan cuts in.

"True true," Maia's eyes are full of sarcasm, "Very much so indeed."

I fling my bag over my shoulder with a shrug.

"Well have fun or whatever."

Although I knew I sounded cold and sour, but at the moment I couldn't care any less. It didn't seem to matter.


That's it for this chapter! Please do review. I will try to take requests. Maybe. Thank you for reading! It might be too short. Deal with it.
