I'm back. So far I have been able to update fairly fast. That won't happen a lot since I have to work on the stories more and make sure they are long enough, nothing worse than waiting a week for a new chapter and its short. Rest assured I will be putting a big effort to make them great. My last chapter didn't get as many views as I thought it would, I guess it was a little dry. Hope you guys enjoy this one. Muah, don't forget to let me know what you think by P.M. review, follow and fav. Thanks for your support guys.

Izzy wakes up upon hearing the movers arrive. Hopping enthusiastically out of bed she grabs her underwear and a towel and rushes to her bathroom. She has to look and smell her best after all. Image is important after all. The shower turns off and she proceeds to the closet.
(20 minutes of debating what to wear)
No, too slutty.
I might as well say 'Hey I'm here to steal your boyfriend'.
Ugh no, so not in season anymore.
Too intimidating, girls might think I'm a snob.
Izzy emerges from the closet wearing hot cutout black skinny jeans with a navy blue tee covered by a black leather jacket. Perfect. Now it's shoe time. (She picks up 5 inch heels) Hmmm, no I'm already a tower over most guys this will make me look like a giant. She searches and searches through her shoes and finally decides on "small" 3 inch blue heels to match the shirt. She goes to her night stand and styles her long black hair with soft curls and puts on makeup. Black eyeliner with a smokey eye look gives the finishing touches to her already amazing look. I hope I make at least one friend who isn't some perv hitting on me. One last look over and she goes downstairs for a light breakfast.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Jace is in front of his nightstand straightening his clothes. Dark blue jeans with a plain white tee and white shoes. He decided to go dressed simple, not too sexy, he wouldn't want to cause a riot. "Damn I'm hot"
"Alec Jace come help unload the truck." Robert yells from downstairs. Jace bolts out the room and down the stairs, the faster the truck is unloaded the faster he can go to school and bask in the adoration from all the girls. Alec is right behind him, good thing he is already ready too bad Izzy is going to take a while.
(30 minutes later)
Alec keeps passing by with a deep look. It's weird since his face is usually emotion free. That may be his angry face, or maybe he's just constipated. Jace laughs in his head at the thought of his poor brother getting sick on the first day. Then he notices the guy that just stepped out from the house next door, he was tall with pale blonde hair and dark eyes. Huh, maybe Alec thinks he's cute. Make a move already Alec, we all know anyways. A few trips later Jace sees Alec smiling.
"Why are you smiling like that Alec?" Jace asks looking at him intently.
"Nothing." Alec says with no emotion or readable expression and walks away. Nothing my ass. Jace thinks to himself while staring at the back of Alecs head trying to read his mind. Jace decides he has done enough and goes to the kitchen where he finds Izzy eating fruit. He goes and joins her as well.
(5 minutes later)
"Izzy, Jace its time to go." Alec walks in putting down the last box and getting his things for school.
"I'll drive today." Jace walks out with the keys to the Mercedes thinking of the great first impression he is going to make driving his brothers' car to school. The girls don't need to know whose car it is just that he is driving it. Going to a new rich school sounds promising with all those girls who don't know his reputation. He smirks at the thought of new girlfriends every week and drives off.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Clarys P.O.V.
Jon and I are just riding in the car not really talking not that I would even be paying attention. All I can focus on is the nervous feeling in my stomach. I grab my phone and text Simon.
Are you ready for today? - C
Not really - S
Oh well. ;-) Meet me up front ok. - C
Ok - S
The closer we get to the school the worse I feel. What if I make a fool of myself or worse, make an enemy for the rest of my four years here. "Ugh." I scoff in anger at my thoughts. I can instantly feel Jon looking at me, damn.
"Everything ok Clary?" His eyes convey love with a hint of concern for sudden outburst. "Everything will be ok. You have Simon and if anyone tries to mess with you just let me know and big brother will take care of it."He says with a kind smile on his face and a wink. I love my brother, I wouldn't have gotten through a lot of things if it wasn't for him and Simon.
"Thanks Jon, I'm fine it's just the nerves that come with high school." I look at him smiling and hope he drops the subject. When he does I actually feel a little better. I can imagine Jon following me around to make sure I'm fine, he takes the role of big brother seriously. He once nearly punched a guy who just looked at me and bit his lip. I couldn't stop laughing when he told me; I still won't believe someone checked me out. I feel the car slow down and when I look up I see the school, Idris high, my new home for the next four years. Jon and I grab our thing and walk together towards the school. He is waving hello to so many people and I'm just looking for a thin tall brown haired boy near the entrance. When I spot him I kiss Jon goodbye and run towards Simon.
"Simon!" "I missed you soo much." I run into his arms and hug him with all my strength.
"I missed you too Clary. Camp sucked, being away from you is too hard." He says while clutching his chest like he's dying.
I chuckle at his act. "Awwe thanks Si, I missed you too." I say while clutching my heart like he did.
"Come on lets go get our schedules and go to class." Simon rolls his eyes at me. He gives me his arm and we walk in together towards the front office.
We are finally up next in line to talk to the registrar Mrs. Green. She seems like a nice enough older woman after all she has been helping a never ending line of new students.
"Names?" She says looking at both of us.
"Clarissa Morgenstern and Simon Lewis." I tell her and a minute later she hands us our things.
"Here you go dears. Have a nice day." She smiles and proceeds to help the next person.
We compare our schedules and find that we have first period together. Too bad the class is math though. We walked out of the office and stood around the lockers a little down the way to avoid the crowd of people. We keep going through the papers and trying to figure out the routes to take to our classes.
"Lucky you Clary, you get to start the day with me" He grins at me.
"Finally a reason to get up in the morning." We both laugh.
" Ok so we will meet up again at lunch and you can brief me in on all the teachers." He says.
"The same goes for you." I look down starting to think of the fact that I'll be on my own after first period.
"Hey Clary don't be scared. I know we won't see each other a lot like before but everything will be ok." He tells me while hugging me tightly. I can't help but feel reassured. Only Simon and Jon can do this. I always feel safe with them.
"I will be just one text away." He pulls away and holds up my chin and looks into my eyes. "Ok?" I can't help but feel like he is putting in an extra effort in comforting me.
"Ok Si. I've just never really been on my own without you, it's different. But I guess that's what high school is for." I smile and we separate from each other. We were a little too close.
"Come on we don't want to be late." He says while turning away. I quickly follow beside him.
"Don't we still have enough time to get there?" I ask knowing we will be early.
"Yeah but let's go ahead and go just in case we get lost or something." He starts walking faster. "This place is huge."
"Ok but slow down take a little."
Math class was pretty boring, mostly we just introduced ourselves and take a short test to see where we are in class. It actually went by pretty fast.
(The bell rings)
"Do you want me to walk you to class?" –Simon
"No its ok I can find it. Go ahead and go, I wouldn't want to make you late on the first day." –Clary
"Okay" (Simon chuckles) "I'll see you in lunch later." –Simon
"Okay Si." (We hug) "Bye."-Clary
"Bye Clary." –Simon
We part and head in opposite directions. I hate not having him around for support.
I find my next class fairly quickly and of course I'm one the first people here. I make my way to a seat in the back next to the only other girl here. No way am I going to sit next to any of the guys, they keep looking at me funny. Oh god please don't let there be anything in my teeth. As I sit next to the girl I hear say. . .
"Omg. We are pretty much wearing the same outfit." I turn and see a beautiful tall girl talking to me. I look at what she is wearing and she's right. Same outfit with a few differences. Of course she looks better than me. She looks like a freaking model.
"Wow, what are the odds huh?" I say to her giving her a smile.
"I'm Isabelle but you can call me Izzy." She says while smiling as well.
"I'm Clarissa but you can call me Clary."She is so nice, I hope she doesn't turn out to be snob. She is too pretty to be talking to me.
"I like those grey boots. You have great taste in footwear by the way." She says admiring my shoes.
"Thanks I like your jacket. I wish I had one like it." I wish I could fill it out like her though.
"Thanks I've had it forever. Are you a freshman too?" Izzy asks.
"Yeah, kind of nervous, are you?" I ask
"Yeah, my entire family just moved here so I'm a little lost." She says, there's a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Don't worry you will get used to it quick. Want to sit with me and my friend Simon at lunch?" I ask hoping I can finally have an actual girlfriend.
She says "Sure." (She smiles at me) "What classes do you have after this?"
"umm let me see. After this science then social studies." I say.
"Me too. Well social studies not science." (We smile at each other)
"What else?" she asks
"Lunch, P.E., Spanish and then Art." I say
"We have P.E. together too." "Wow I guess we will be seeing a lot of each other huh." She looks at me beaming. I can't help but feel happy. She seems like a potential lifelong friend like Simon.
"Cool. Ill introduce you to my friend Simon and Maia at lunch. I'm sure she will love that jacket and shoes." I tell her with a slight grin.
"Sure I'd love to meet her. She sounds like she has a great sense of style." She grins as well and we both laugh just as class begins.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Alecs P.O.V.
Jace pulls up to the school and parks near the front. We are already getting looks and whispers. I can just imagine what their saying. 'Who are they?' 'He is soo cute.' 'Look at that car, they must be rich.' 'She's hot.'
"I'm going to like this school." Jace remarks to no one in particular.
Izzy scoffs at his remark.
'How can one person be so arrogant?' As much as I don't like his attitude I can't help but be jealous. He is so confident and never without a girl. Even though he uses them like tissues they still come back to him. 'I hope she's here.' I keep thinking of her looking for her everywhere. We are to the office when I see a familiar red flash. 'It's her.' I can't really see her face clearly from this far away plus it doesn't help all the people walking by. But it's her, she is so beautiful, last night didn't do her any justice. She isn't alone, there's some skinny nerdy looking 'boy' with her. 'Who the hell is that guy? Why do they seem so chummy together? No, he can't be her boyfriend, this isn't happening.'
Just as I think it can't get any worse I see them hugging closely and he sees me watching them. 'He's doing this on purpose! That bastard doesn't know who he is messing with.' When i see him put his hand on her chin i look away not wanting to see them kiss. It would be too painful to watch. 'How can this girl make me feel this way, I haven't even talked to her face to face and she can break me without even knowing me.' Curiosity finally gets the better of me and I turn to look at them but they're gone. 'Good, now I know she has a boyfriend and I can move on. I knew there was no way anyone as beautiful as her would ever be interested in Me.'
"Alec what happened to you? You didn't go into the office with us." Izzy is standing in front of me with her hands on her hips. I can't look at her right now, the moment she sees my eyes she will know something is wrong. I just keep my gaze distant and not speak just in case my voice crackles.
"Don't worry I got your papers for you. You're welcome Alec." (She hands them to me) I still can't look or speak at her.
"Fine Alec be like that. We will see you later." Izzy glares at me and Jace is just too busy checking out girls to care.
"Sorry Iz, ills see you later." She just raises her eyebrow at me and we all walk our separate ways.
