Hey guys I'm back. You will start to notices that it does take me slightly longer to update my chapters. I have been working on them constantly. I already have a general outline but I m putting in some of the things that were suggested. If you guys have any other things you would like to let me know about just review or P.M. me. Hope you guys like this chapter. I worked on it day and night and I hope you like the new characters. Oh and YES this is all still the first day of school, I know it's a long way of writing it but I want to establish everyone's point of view of all the events that are happening to them. Don't worry after this not all days will have like 5 chapters describing them, Promise. Well, unless it's a long day (wink).
Well you know the drill, fav, review and follow.

Alecs P.O.V.
My first two classes were a blur. I just sat in the back not talking to anyone. No one tries to talk to me so it's perfect. I keep picturing that bastard with her. With My girl. I see them in each other's arms looking intently at one another. I can't stop seeing it; it feels like I'm torturing myself. It hurts so much.
(The bell rings)
I get up and walk out of the classroom and just glare at the floor. As I'm walking down the hall I daydream walking up to her and asking her out. Holding her in my arms and reaching down to cup her head in my hands and gently kiss her. I could never ever have the balls to ask her out in real life so dreaming will just have to do.
(Crash)
Out of nowhere something crashes into my chest. I snap back into reality and catch whoever or whatever bumped into me. (Gasp) It's her. Oh dear God she's and angel. My arms wrap around her and I stop her from hitting the floor. She is so small, yet perfect size for me. Her skin is a gorgeous milky color which makes it look like she glows. When I saw her last night I thought it was the moonlight, but she literally glows like an angel. Her skin contrasts her fiery red hair perfectly. Her eyes are so vibrant, a shade of emerald green that no jewel can ever come close to compare or even compete with. We are face to face a last, too bad words won't come out of my stupid mouth. I just want to press my lips onto hers and hold her forever. God I don't think I can let go.
"I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention to –." she says before I cut her off.
"Don't apologize, I'm not sorry." (She blushes and looks down.) That is so cute. I can't believe I'm flirting, and actually doing it right. Wait am I doing it right?
"Umm, I think I can stand now." She says slightly blushing at the fact she is still in my arms.
"Oh right, yeah sorry." I reluctantly let her go. I can instantly feel the void in my arms. It takes all of my strength and will power to restrain myself from grabbing her by the waist and pressing her against my chest.
"I'm Clary." Finally I know her name, and its prefect. Ok damn I'm starting to sound like an idiot. Be smooth you idiot, talk like Jace, no wait I'm not a man whore. Damn just play it cool.
"I'm Alec. Are you sure you're ok? I can walk you to your class just in case." I look at her with a small smile. She laughs a little. Even her laughter sounds angelic.
"Thanks but my class is right there." She points to the last door in the hall. I can't help but smile when I see the door.
"Chem with Mrs. Jones? I'm going there too." I look at her with a slight grin. She smiles at me, almost looks like she is happy we have the same class. Her gaze is so intoxicating, like nothing else exists but us when she looks at me.
(She giggles)
"Wow. Well I guess you can walk me to my class after all." We walk in silence to the class. I wish the class was farther away. I steal glances of her as we walk. I can't remember why I was intimidated by her boyfriend before. Hess cranny anyways, she deserves better. Now that I know what it feels like to hold her I won't stop until I have her back. I'll fight that little boy if I have to but I won't stop until Clary is my girlfriend. We finally reach the classroom and she goes in and sits next to other girls. There's no space on the table left so I go to the table behind them so I won't seem too eager and so I can see Clary. (Yes a little creepy)
I can't get her out of my mind. What I wouldn't give to hold her again. I can do this. I can ask her out, I will. Damn I can't. Stop being a chicken! You can do this. She is just a girl. A beautiful girl I can't stop thinking of and if I fuck this up I will hate myself for ever. Damn I hate this! Why does it have to be so hard? I'll wait it out a little, ill impress her somehow. I'll try out for a sport or join a club. Yes, I will join something, but what? When I look up again I see her looking at me and look away. She looked red. Wait was she blushing? At me? Omg she likes me! (Internally jumping like an idiot) She was blushing at me, or she probably saw me looking at her the whole time and is thinking I'm some sort of creep. Stay positive Alec. She likes you. I smile wide for the rest of the class. Nothing can take away this mood.
I need to talk to her again.
(Bell rings)
Perfect I can talk to her on our way out. He sees her get up and go out the class, he is right behind her but there are too many people in between. Just as I am about to tap her on the shoulder a girl comes up to Clary and takes her focus. DAMN. I can't catch a break. "Maia I missed you a lot this summer so how was. . . ." Maia took her away and I just couldn't help but feel defeated by a girl. Well at least now I have time to come up with a plan and get the courage to talk to her. Maybe I should ask Jace for advice but he will probably be an ass. Hell he will probably won't believe I like a girl. I m screwed.
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
Maia found Clary in the hall after her class and caught up with her quickly talking about what they did this summer. When the girls found out they have class together Clary couldn't be happier at the thought that she would be able to introduce Maia to Izzy sooner than she thought. I hope they get along, it would be nice to hang out with girls my age for once instead of Jonathan boy crew of testosterone.
"Maia I met this girl in my second class and I think you and her will get along great, she has an awesome style in clothes like you." She looks at Maia for a reaction.
"Really? That would be great, finally another girl in this school who will appreciate the fine art of clothes." She giggles at her response.
"Hey! What is wrong with my style? I know I don't usually wear clothes like this but your more tomboy than fashionista." Clary gives Maia a playful glare.
"I'm just kidding Clary, besides if you like her I know I will too." The girls smile at each other and keep walking and talking about the new girl. Clary and Maia walk into class and in the middle isle towards the back Clary sees Izzy and they walk towards her. Clary is the first to speak.
"Izzy hey did is my friend Maia the girl I told you has awesome taste." Clary says smiling at both girls.
"Hi I'm Izzy. Clary is right I love your top." Izzy looks at the girl in front of her new friend. She is wearing a red cami underneath a black half loose top with some dark blue jeans and red high tops. Her look is athletic but girly too. A nice combo Izzy likes.
"Thanks I love your jacket." Maia says looking at Izzy
"So do I, It just looks like it goes with everything." Clary says smiling at them.
The girls take a seat next to Izzy and converse among themselves until the teacher walks in and begins the class.
(Bell rings)
"Finally I'm starving." Clary states to no one n particular.
"Me too." Maia and Izzy answer in unison.
(They giggle)
the girls make their way to the cafeteria. It's enormous. Finding a table would be easy, finding Simon on the other hand not so much. The girls get their food and make their way to the tables by the far wall. Clary thought it's where Simon will most likely be.
"Simon." Clary called out waving at him. The girls followed her and sat down at the table with her.
"Simon this is Izzy and you remember Maia." She introduced Izzy and Clary instantly noticed the look that his eyes were desperately trying to hide.
"H-Hi I'm Simon Clarys best friend. Hey Maia haven't seen you in a while." He said with a small stutter in the beginning. Maia just nods back at him with a smile.
"I'm Izzy I just moved here to Alicante with my family. Clary has been really nice to me and she doesn't even know me. You're lucky to have her as your best friend." She says smiling at the nervous guy in front of her.
Clary can tell her best friend likes this new girl so she decides to help. What are best friends for anyways?
"Thanks Izzy, but I'm the lucky one. Simon has been there for me since third grade. I always thought I was lucky having him as a best friend." Simon blushes at what Clary just said.
"Well when you put it like that Clary I guess you're right." Izzy says smiling at Simon and he just sits there looking like a tomato.
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
Jon is sitting at a lunch table in the relative middle of the cafeteria, of course the varsity soccer team would want to be the "center" of attention. Jon is sitting with Jordan, Magnus and other players from the team. Some have even brought their current girlfriends.
"So Jon, have you heard from Clary?" Magnus asked Jon with a hint of malice in his voice. He just loved to see Jon get mad, he was hot when he was mad. Well to Magnus at least.
"No I haven't. Why are you asking like that? Did something happen to my sister? Answer me Magnus." Jon asked in an irritated voice that was starting to get the attention of the table.
"Well not something more like someone." Jon gave him a look that meant for him to explain soon or he will beat it out of him.
"Someone told me that they saw some tenth grader, or eleventh grader they couldn't tell, holding your little sister in their arms for quite a while. I just wanted to know the name of the guy who had the balls to hit on YOUR sister." He said looking at him with an eyebrow raised. He was trying to look quizzical but jus ended up looking like a condescending jerk. The entire table was looking at Jon in horror knowing full well his baby sister was off limits. It was more like an unspoken rule, no one can date with another player's family members or girlfriends.
"Who the hell has his arms around Clary!? Tell me who the asshole is Magnus. Now!" Jon looked like he was about to rip the lunch tray in half. No one goes near his sister.
"Calm down Jon. I don't know who the guy is, no one knows him. Maybe he's new and doesn't know that Clary Morgenstern is off limits." Magnus couldn't help but grin having made Jon incredibly angry. Mission accomplished. He cared for his friend but that was too easy.
"What!? You don't know who it is and you still tell me knowing I would want to know who to kill. You know better than that Magnus." Jon glared at Magnus.
"I told you what I heard. I don't know if it's true or not but knowing it was related to Clary I just thought I should still tell you. You're welcome." Magnus looked irritated, clearly this was no longer fun. Jon looked like he was thinking of what he would tell Clary when he saw her. The rest of the team began to murmur amongst themselves. Knowing full well that the next person to annoy Jon will be through the wall. Jon was a very overprotective brother. He loved Clary and it was fine with the guys she was an eighth grader when they first saw her, a plain Jane. Although that is what they thought when they last saw her.
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
Alec and Jace Sat alone towards the front end of the cafeteria near the door. Jace thought it would be the best place to get a good look at the new candidates. Jace keep mostly quiet staring at the door looking at girl after girl making a mental note of the ones he thought of as "easy". He has had a lot of practice with girls anyways so it's a gift he harnessed. Alec on the other hand has never really known how to approach someone he liked since he has been confused from puberty. Things were changing for him since he had the courage to talk to Clary. Even more so to be able to flirt with her perfectly. Alec was just looking away not paying attention to Jace or the occasional girl that giggled pass the table as he winked at her. He didn't notice that Jace was now staring at the smile he didn't know he was making.
"Alec. Alec. ALEC!" (Smack) Jace smacked the table getting his brothers attention.
"What. You didn't have to hit the table." Alec looked startled for a second.
"I just want to know why you have that goofy look on your face. You have been acting strange since last night. Did something happen?" Jace looked at his brother quizzically.
"Well, something did happen but I'm not ready to talk about it yet Jace. So let's just go back to me looking goofy and you hitting on everything with a skirt. Ok?" Alec said looking sternly at his brother.
"Okay. I'll let it go, for now. But you will tell me eventually Alec." Jace looked at him with a look saying he wants to know sooner or later. Then he just goes back to eyeing girls as they walk by.
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
(Bell rings)
The girls and Simon gather their things and walk to P.E. together. They separated and went to the locker room to change into their workout uniform. They were lucky enough to be all in the same class. The class was divided by thirds and they were all grouped together. Clary was happy she has always like P.E. since she was a natural athlete like her brother, although not as fast or strong. Maia was also happy since she was more of the sporty type. Izzy looked like she was going to be asked to track through mud. Simon was never really a fan. He always lacked the desire to run around with other people getting sweaty and wrecking. Everyone sat in the bleachers waiting for the instructor to walk in and get their assignment. Clarys eyes were so wide when she saw the teacher walk in. She remembered that gray patch of hair in between his otherwise black hair. Mr. Garroway was her P.E. teacher. She could already tell the other girls in the class were happy he was the teacher, he was after all exceptionally handsome.
"Hello class, welcome to P.E. I will be your teacher Mr. Garroway." He smiled at everyone. You could just hear all the girls exhaling and all the guys rolling their eyes. The class was routing enough, mostly stretches at first then three laps around the gym. Clary was a great runner, she had the lead the whole time. Mr. Garroway saw that and was impressed.
"Morgenstern come here." He called for her and told the rest of the class to divide into groups and start playing half court.
"Yes Mr. Garroway." Clary had a small smile as she addressed him since she was used to saying Luke.
"I'm surprised to see you here, I didn't know you would be in this school let alone in my class. Either way I'm glad to see you here Clarissa." He said with a smile.
"Just Clary, I'm glad to see you as well Luke. I mean Mr. Garroway." Clary corrected herself and felt slightly embarrassed for calling him by his first name.
"How about you call me coach? You run very fast and I think you will be perfect for track. I am the new coach so I know you will be a great asset. What do you say Clary?" He looked at her waiting for her answer.
"Yes, I'll be there. Thanks coach." Clary ran back to her friends and told them what her future coach had said to her. They were excited for her.
"Clary?" A familiar voice spoke from behind her.
"Sebastian. How are you?" Clary turned and saw her ex-boyfriend. She hadn't heard from him since they broke up.
"I'm good, I'm glad to see you. You look good, really good." Sebastian told her as he saw her, 3 months made a huge difference and he could see it now.
"Thanks Sebastian, you look good too. These are friends Maia, Izzy and of course you remember Simon." Clary introduced the girls and Simon just glared at Sebastian. He thought he was out of the picture and now he is back and worse in their class.
"Nice to meet you girls and Simon hi again." He gave him a grin knowing Simon never liked him dating his best friend.
"Hi." Was all Simon could say.
"Well I better get back to my friends it was nice meeting you girls and it was nice to see you again Clary." Sebastian looked at Clary one more time and went back to his group of friends.
"I thought we were rid of him." Simon said annoyed
"who was he?' Izzy asked curious about Simon's reaction.
"He was my ex, I dated him for like five months and we broke up after graduation. We didn't want to do the long distance thing." Clary said as a matter-of-factly.
"Hmm, it seems like he isn't just an ex. The way he looked at you seemed like there was more." Izzy said raising her eyebrow and giving Clary a mischievous look.
"He's just an ex and nothing more ok Izzy." Clary said wiping the words away from her thinking space. They all go make to playing basketball and talking about other things. Izzy didn't want to stop talking about Sebastian but she saw how Clary wasn't interested and how Simon got angry at the subject.
"Five minutes until the bell rings, everyone go change." Mr. Garroway yells.
(Five minutes later the bell rings)
Everyone parts to their respective classes and Clary heads off to Spanish class. She decides to sit in the middle row and wait for the class to start. She doesn't know that from moment the moment she walked in someone had their eye on her. In the back of the classroom sat tenth grader Raphael. He is known in the school for being a notorious flirt and womanizer. Yet with his bad reputation girls still think they are the ones who can change him. You can say Jace is his replacement. Girls fall for Raphael because of his Spanish accent and sweet melodious voice. He loves the chase. When a girl isn't interested he chases her and romances her until she inevitably falls for him. Sometimes he literally charms their pants off. When Clary walked in he saw a beautiful girl with light skin that glows even in sunlight and fiery red hair that looks as if it's on fire. She was naturally beautiful. She hardly had any makeup on, it made her more enticing, and Raphael just had to have her. When the teacher did roll call he received the biggest surprise of his life. Clarissa Morgenstern. She was the baby sister of the star soccer player in the school, he was better than the seniors and he knew it. Clary became a trophy conquest he had to have. Raphael will stop at nothing to have her by his side, she would be more than some fling, she would elevate his status and himself more desirable.
Raphael smiled as he thought of a plan to make this red haired girl his. He spent the rest of the class strategizing and formulating a plan. He would have to be careful and extra good to get her. She would be his ultimate test.
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
Spanish class was over and Clary is walking to her art class. It was a great way for her to end every day, or so she thought. When she walks in she finds the classroom set up as a sort of circle with an easel in front of every chair. She decides to sit towards the right of the class with the window behind her so the light will hit her easel. When she sat down she noticed that most of the girls were on the other side opposite of her. They all seemed to be huddle by the back wall and surrounding something. Then she noticed what it was that had the girls riled up, a new boy with golden hair and what looked like golden eyes. He was tall and handsome in every way. He didn't even look like he was trying too hard in how he dressed. He could be a nice guy trying to not stand out. Clary felt bad for him getting all of that unwanted attention. That is until she heard him speak.
"Girls, how can I choose who to be with when you are all so beautiful." Jace said giving the girls a slight smile.
"Well then just tell us who you would want to go on a date then." Some girl said.
"Yeah it's not fair, one of us has to show you around since your new and all." Another random girl spoke.
"Well, why don't I just take each and every single one of you out? I mean there's plenty of me to go around and I want to make the right choice of which one of you will be best for me." Jace said giving the girls a 'shy' and 'innocent' smile. He was none of those but he knew how to fake it.
Really? Really? Come on I cannot be in a class with that many brain dead girls. He is a player in a sweet guy disguise. What the hell, how can they be so stupid. I am avoiding him at all costs. Relax Clary he won't bother you if you completely ignore him. Clary thought to herself while trying to keep herself busy. She stood next to her easel going through the tools and paints on the table next to it. When she saw the pencils she decided to do a small sketch. Clary began to make a small but intricate tree on a small sheet of notebook paper she clipped to the easel. The tree slowly took form and she felt it was perfect when a beam of sunlight broke through the clouds and hit her easel. She felt the sun giving her a warm embrace and took it as a sign to keep drawing.
Jace was listening to the girls go on and on about his beauty and how he should date one of them. He was growing tired of this pointless conversation since he pretty much had the girls roped in. Then a red flash caught his eye. Across the room from him was a girl with red hair that looked as if it was on fire when the sun hit it. She was busy drawing on her easel never looking at him once, she had a cute smile and a nice figure. When the sun receded behind her it gave her a glowing effect. She looked mesmerizing and he had to have her. The teacher Ms. Morgan came in and class began.
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
The entire day went by pretty fast for the first day. Clary made her way outside after the bell rang. She found Jon waiting for her and he didn't look happy. When they were in the car driving away he finally voiced his concerns.
"So anything interesting happen today?" Jon asked with anger in his voice.
"Not really, I met a nice girl who is in most of my classes. I saw Simon and Maia and she and I have classes together too. Is everything ok Jon?" Clary asked not knowing where this was going.
"Sure I'm ok. Except for the fact that someone told me they saw you in the arms of some old guy." Jon spat out with venom in his words.
"Who told you?!" Clary raised her voice in anger and betrayal.
"So it is true! Who the hell had his arms around you Clary? Tell me right now so I can kick his ass. No one is allowed to go near you I made sure of that." Crap. Jon knew he had said too much.
"What!? Jon what did you do? Spill it!" Clary was now angry and she wouldn't stop until she knew the truth.
"Don't change the subject, who was the guy Clary?" Jon asked trying to get back on track.
"We both answer each other's questions got it." But hers wasn't a question, it was an order and Jon knew it. "Yes a guy had his arms around me but not in a make out kind of way. I wasn't looking where I was walking and crashed into him, he felt like a brick wall. He stopped me from hitting the floor and held me because I was dizzy and couldn't stand. He didn't do anything but ask if I was ok. So now you what the hell did you do." Clary looked at Jon who clearly regretted what he said.
"I'm glad that's all that happened and as for the other thing. Clary you know I love you and I don't want anyone to hurt you so I kinda said that anyone who dared try and touch would get their face kicked in by me."
"YOU DID WHAT?" Clary was beyond angry. "How could you do this to me? News flash I have already dated and you are not going to stop me from doing it again." Clary looked like she was ready to kill.
"Sebastian doesn't count he was a boy, now its high school and all I want to do is keep you safe. Clary you are everything to me and if something happens I will hate myself forever. Please understand I did it out of love." Jon pleaded with the angry little red head next to him. The rest of the trip home went in silence. Clary refused to speak to him no matter how hard he tried to talk to her. When they arrived at home she stomped upstairs to her room and stayed in the rest of the day. She made a point o skip dinner just to hurt Jon a little more. He had no right doing what he did. Sometimes he takes his big brother role too far.
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
Alec was sitting in his room in complete darkness so the girl across the window couldn't see him. He thought that if she recognized him from earlier she wouldn't want to talk to him. So he just stood there and watched her draw on the floor of her room. Thank god she had a floor length window or he couldn't have seen her. Butterflies filled his stomach thinking of what had happened earlier between them. Now that he had had a taste of her in his arms he knew he would never want to stop having that feeling again. Her boyfriend be dammed he was going to win her over. Little did he know his brother next door had a similar plan brewing in his mind. An interest both brothers could never share.
Jace wanted Clary as well, she was beautiful and she did something few girls can do, get his full attention. She had to be his. There was no other girl like her in that school. He would make her the most hated girl in the school and he would become the most envied guy. Jace never worries about competition since he has yet to meet someone who can be better than him. Things are beginning to change in the Lightwood home, all because of a little red head.
