"Is this your first year here?" asked Clary. She had eventually finished unpacking her stuff and was now sitting on the couch in front of the TV. Cecily laughed. "Do you ever stop asking questions?" she said smiling as she flopped into the armchair next to the couch. Clary shrugged her shoulders.

After about 20 minutes of questioning Clary had found out Cecily was 16 and came from Wales originally but had moved away when she was 3. Cecily was a bookworm and enjoyed playing sports.

"This is my first year as a leader, but I've come here as a kid." said Cecily. "Do you know anyone here then?" asked Clary. Cecily laughed again. "I know quite a few people. My brother is here and my cousin and my cousin's friends and their family and their friends." she replied. "Wow, just a few then" said Clary raising her eyebrows. Cecily smiled. "It's fine, I'm sure they'll like you" she said.

"Can I ask you a question?"said Cecily. Clary nodded. "What section are you leading?" asked Cecily. "Arts and Crafts" said Clary. Cecily smiled. "So you're with Magnus this year!" she said. Clary frowned. "Magnus is the other leader that takes Arts and Crafts. He has a slight obsession with glitter. He makes more mess than the kids!" explained Cecily. "But don't worry, he's really nice!" said Cecily quickly seeing a look of worry pass Clary's face. "What do you lead?" asked Clary. "Fencing" said Cecily. "As in, with swords." asked Clary. "Well they're called foils but yes" said Cecily. Clary's eyes widened. Cecily rolled her eyes. "I know I'm a girl, but I'm good!" said Cecily.

"Is that why that Sebastian guy left you alone?" asked Clary. "Maybe..." said Cecily thoughtfully "Plus I broke his shin last year..." Clary laughed. "How? No offence, he's a lot bigger than you!" she said. "He wouldn't let me fence with boys last year because apparently I'm 'too frail', so I kicked him. Fair to say, I got to fence." said Cecily. Clary laughed.

A ringing phone cut through their conversation. "Two minutes, let me grab that!" said Cecily running into her room.

The room door swung open and a boy walked in. "Cecily, have you got..." he said trailing off as his eyes fell on Clary. The boy had black hair and startling blue eyes like Cecily. "You're not Cecily..." he said confused. "Ten out of ten for observation, Will!" said Cecily walking out from her room. "Ah Cecily!" he said relieved "Have you got my copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in your bag? I definitely packed it!" he asked. Cecily chucked a book from the shelf at him. "Thanks!" he said catching it.

"Would you care to introduce us?" said the boy gesturing to Clary. "Clary this is Will, my annoying big brother. Will this is Clary, my new roommate." said Cecily. "Nice to meet you Clary" said Will smiling. "You too" said Clary smiling back.

"By the way Jace just called me" said Cecily to Will "We're meeting in 20 minutes in the leader's lounge." Will sighed. "By 'we' I assume you mean..." he said. "All 14 of us, yes" replied Cecily before he had finished. "Even Gabriel and Gideon?" asked Will. "Yes" said Cecily. Will rolled his eyes before leaving the room.

"You should come and meet everyone, Clary!" said Cecily. Clary bit her lip. "I don't want to intrude..." she said quietly. "Please come Clary!" pleaded Cecily. Clary smiled. "Ok, if you're sure" said Clary.

15 minutes later, Clary found herself standing outside of a large room. A sign on the door confirmed her suspicion that this was the leader's lounge. Cecily smiled reassuringly. "It's ok. They won't kill you, honest." she said. Clary laughed. Cecily pushed open the door and she and Clary stepped inside.

The group who were sitting in the room fell quiet as Clary and Cecily walked in. "At last" sighed Will who was slouched on a couch next to a boy and a girl. Cecily made a face at him and he stuck his tongue in response.

"Clary?" said a familiar voice.
