After entering the Institute with Izzy, we walked up the stairs to her room. It was amazing.

She had zebra print walls. They were black and pink. She had a neon pink comforter with sparkly black pillows. She had a vanity with pink feathers lining the mirror. Don't even get me started on her make up. For an thirteen-year-old. She had a whole crap ton. Her bathroom wasn't much better. She also had the cutest clothes in her closet. But of course it was all pink.

"So, Clary, what do you think?"

"Iz, this, this is amazing."

"You really think so?"

"I mean, it isn't my style, but, wow, this is really cool."

"Thanks, it didn't take me very long to do. So when do you want to get started on your room."

"Started on my room?"

"Ya, you are going to be here for at least a month, so we should get started on decorating your room. So what is your favorite color. Your favorite animal print. Your favorite hobbies."

"Well, I love the color gold. Almost everything I own is gold. I love giraffe print. And I love art. My mom says that I am actually pretty good at it. I think that I am fairly decent too. Like painting and drawing, basically anything art related."

"OMG. This is so weird your..your favorite color so gold and J-Jace he is gold. His hair. His skin. His eyes. Maybe you guys are going to become best friends and then you will start to love each other and then you will get married and then have kids and we will actually be family and then our kids will grow up togethe-"

"Okay, Iz. First, you really like to talk a lot. Secondly. I don't like boys, and Jace is just so closed off. Plus, he seems like kind of a butt."

"You got that right. Jace is such a jerk sometimes. Come on! Let's go to your room so that we can design it!"

We stepped into my room and I immediately started talking.

"Okay, so since there is going to be giraffe print on the wall, I want the spots to be black. The space in between the spots should be gold, like Jace," after I realized what I had said I face palmed and Iz, of course started laughing,"Ok, moving past that, the bed spread should be...hmmmm...light brown and the pillows should be sparkly black, like the ones in your room. I should have a silver drawing/painting desk that has a built in easel. Then the bathroom should be painted black with everything else gold, the towels, bath mat, wash clothes, curtain. That about covers it, right?"

"Wow. Clary, you have a real talent for this."

"Ya. Colors are kinda my thing. It helps being an artist, good with colors, you know. Now, let's go get these boys."

We charged down the hall. Looking in each room until we went into the kitchen, and guess what we found. Yup. Three boys stuffing their faces with anything that was within their reach.

I was the first to speak.

"Jon, Alec, Jace, can you help us get the stuff to decorate my room?"

Of course Jon said yes. Alec just sighed and got up. He was really starting to get on my nerves. Alec and Iz exchanged a look. I knew what that look was. They thought that he was going to lash out and hurt me. But what happened next, clearly, surprised them. Jace stopped to think for a moment before saying.

"Sure. Why not?." He even smiled after he said that.

I, of course, followed him out of the room, but not before I saw Alec and Iz practically drop their jaws to the floor.

"So, Clarissa, tell me about your room; then, we'll get what you need."

"Ok, well, I need a lot of black and gold paint."

"What color gold? We have a lot of different types of golds."

"Don't laugh at me, but, like the color of you eyes."

"That is a little cheesy. You just can't resist my hotness, can you?"

"Jace," I whined," Shut up, and help me find the paint."

"Yes ma'am."

I response I just simply rolled my eyes. He then led me to the paint section.

"Wow. Is Jace actually being nice."

"Shut up Isabelle. Come on Clarissa, lets go get the rest of your stuff. What else do you need?"

"Well, I need a light brown comforter, black sparkly pillows, gold towels, a gold bath mat, a white lamp, a silver paint desk with a hidden easel, and a gold polka dot bath curtain. Oh, I also need a black fluffy rug. I think that's it."

"Wow. We are going to need a truck for all of this stuff."

"Okay, stop fooling around you two, we need to get this stuff up to Clary's room."

"Hey Clarissa, can I call you Clary?

"Maybe if you hadn't teased me, but oh well."

"You are an evil little girl."

"You don't know the half of it."

When did Jon get here.

"When we were babies, she would steal my sword and hide it where I couldn't reach."

"Wait, this midget was taller than you?"

"Jace! You are never going to be able to call me Clary at this rate."

"Fine, fine. I'll try to be nice."

"Good, how about you carry the box for the desk and I'll carry all of the paint. Jon can carry the ladders and the tools. Iz can carry the towels and bathroom stuff. Alec can find the lamp and bring it up to the room. Alec can you also get the tarps and paint brushes."

"Why are you making me carry all of the heavy stuff?"

"Stop complaining and get to work. Chop, chop!"

"Fine. You probably couldn't carry this anyways."

"You wanna bet."

With that, we all walked up to my room.

"You know that you can be extremely annoying."

"I know, but I grow on you, well maybe."

"Whatever, let's just get to work."
