Jace didn’t really deal with death very well, he normally stayed hidden and out of the way so no one would talk to him nor would they expect him to say something. He wasn’t good with it. Sure, he felt for Cheryl but he didn’t really know what he could say. He didn’t know the kid, even though it was sad to lose someone so young. Running his fingers through his golden hair, he heard the knock on the door and tried to remember if anyone was expecting anyone. Then he realized that he was in the house alone, the others were either at work or with their own friends and such, making sure they were okay. 

Making his way over to the door, he opened it and noticed Clary. For the first time since Halloween, Jace smiled when he saw her. Leave it to Clary to be able to make him feel content, at least he wasn’t completely alone. “Hey there gorgeous. Come on in.” Jace told her, stepping to the side to let her in the house. “I’m happy to see you.”

Even if she wasn’t waiting out here too long, she was thinking about what they should talk about. Anything but the events that happened on Halloween. She just wanted to see him. She just wanted to forget about all of it right now.

At the sound of the door opening, Clary looked up from where she stood and smiled brightly at him. “Jace,” her heart raced at the sight of him. “Thanks,” she whispered as she stepped inside and watched him carefully. Her cheeks flushed a bright pink as his term of endearment flooded in her mind. She couldn’t believe that he thought she was gorgeous. It made her heart flutter. Clary truly felt like the luckiest girl in the world because she had him. Quickly, she moved her little body and pressed into him, her hand reaching up to hold the back of his neck as she kissed him fiercely, even forgetting about the bag of food in her other hand.

When Clary had first walked in, Magnus had assumed she was the guy that was hired to put the tv in his room but he also knew that she wouldn’t be able to lift that thing all by herself either. So, when he noticed the young girl, e looked up and gave her a soft smile. “Oh, no. It’s quite alright. It looks like you need to relax and eat something, biscuit.” He told her before giving her a smile. “When was the last time you’ve eaten?” He asked. Magnus knew that a lot of people were freaking out and he didn’t want Clary to not be taking care of herself because she was worried about everyone else.

“I ‘m glad to know that you are safe. You are far too precious too this world to be taken. Like an angel in the darkness.” Magnus told her. “How are you?”

Oh. Was that a serious question? Truthfully, she knew that she had eaten at the festival with some of the other Serpents, but she didn’t remember eating after that, or since then. Alcohol with Veronica didn’t count as eating, either. “Um,” she thought for a moment before she shook her head, smiling a little. “Nothing today, I’ve been worrying too much about everyone who was at the bar...” teeth scraped her lower lip as she stood there, her eyes gazing around Magnus’ apartment before falling back to look at him. 

His compliment caused her cheeks to flush a bright pink, her head dipping down to look away from him in that moment.  “I’m okay,” she nodded, finally looking up at him with a smile, her hands fidgeting at her midsection. “Please, let me help you since I’m here. At least I can walk around and get you something you might need, like a drink... or the pizza when it comes.” She wanted to be useful.

Audrey turned to find a striking red head enter her room. If her throat wasn’t already dry thank to the smoke from the fire it definitely would be. She managed a smile and adjusted herself into more of a sitting position. She smoothed her hair down a bit to try to counter the bed head she was sure she had in the slightest.

“Uh. Yeah. That was me.” She ran her tongue over her teeth. She no longer had her fake fangs in. They must have removed them either in the ambulance or when she got here. “I’m Audrey.” Audrey introduced herself to the other girl. “Who are you?” She asked, but not in an accusatory manner. She didn’t remember the red head from last night, but then again she didn’t remember much from last night at all. 

Wait.. Was the red head one of the girls Audrey danced on last night? She felt her cheeks start to burn. She hoped this brought on a fever and killed her. God, she couldn’t believe she did any of that. Damn the sweet drinks that hid alcohol well. She adverted her eyes away from the other girl. 

“Audrey, hi,” Clary repeated as she looked over at the other girl. She frowned a little. She couldn’t believe that so many people had gotten hurt because of this fire, that lives were lost, even though she didn’t really know Jason at all, it still wasn’t right, and the fact that his family was left to grieve all because he was dead from some fire.  “I wasn’t at the party long, so I didn’t really have a chance to...” she shrugged, yanking on the hem of her Serpents jacket. The fire still was fresh in her mind. Some fire she was sure the Serpents were going to get blamed for, and that wasn’t right either.

“I’m Clary.” The redhead introduced herself as she went over to the nearby chair and took a seat. “I was looking for my friend, but I don’t think he’s here.” Clary gazed around for a moment, before her eyes fell back onto the girl in the bed. “Are you okay? Can I get you anything?” And then she chuckled lightly and shook her head, pushing some of her red hair behind her ear. “I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be creepy or anything, I just thought since I’m here I could get you something if you needed it.” The girl shrugged, dropping her hand into her lap.

[frayedsoul]

While she was busy checking on her friends, she had desperately missed her boyfriend. She hadn’t seen Jace since Halloween and even though she knew he was okay, she knew that she needed to stop being so concerned with her friends for right now and actually spend time with her boyfriend.

Shutting her bike off and kicking out the stand, Clary hopped off and gripped tightly onto the bag of Pop’s food she brought for him before she made her way to the front door of his place. Yes, she should’ve told him she was bringing him something to eat, and yes, she should’ve told him she was coming over in the first place, but she was sure a surprise visit would be good.

Clary pressed the bell before she stepped back from the door and rocked on the heels of her boots as she waited for him, her own heart racing with excitement as she gripped the bag of food a little tighter.

“I would just like to let the entire town of Savannah know that I, Magnus Bane, was knocking on death’s door but I have made it out of the fiery hells, back into your hearts and lives once more.” Magnus replied on his live stream. He couldn’t help but smile at how many followers that he had, that was before he heard the other person in the room with him and his smile faded. “Excuse me, dont’ ruin my moment.” He told them before turning his attention back to the monitor before shutting the video off, he’ll film it later when he was alone.

“If you don’t mind, could you please help me hook the tv into my room? Could you imagine having to be on bed rest for six to eight weeks due to a broken leg in like three places? It’s torture. I may never dance again. The agony.” Magnus clutched his chest, sighing. “I am going to order myself some pizza. Would you like any? It’s the least I could do since you are helping me.”

[frayedsoul]

Ever since what happened at Seventh Heaven, Clary has been going nonstop, making sure all of her friends were okay. She stopped by the hospital to check in on some of them, even ran into a few new friends. But she still wanted to check in on Magnus. Today though, she wasn’t going to the hospital, today she’d head over to his apartment. And luckily enough for her, his apartment was in walking distance of the library where she currently was in the process of sketching a few drawings for college admission, so she didn’t need to take her bike. Besides, it was much safer here than if she’d gotten caught by a cop giving out metered parking tickets.

Before she made her way up to Magnus’ she caught glimpse of a small grocery store. That’s when she decided to take a detour.

Clary opened her mouth to say something as she stood rather awkwardly with a get well gift basket in her arms, filled with cookies and crackers and other things she thought he’d enjoy. “Um,” she poked her head around the cellophane paper that wrapped up the basket. “Magnus?” Clary turned around and looked for somewhere to put this down. Finally, she set it down on an empty chair and dusted off her hands. “I’m really sorry,” she bit her lip, hearing her stomach growl, but she shook her head at the offer of pizza and still stood idly in the living room, her eyes glancing at the TV. “Uh, sure.” She could at least try. “is there anything else I can help you with?” The young redhead asked with a small smile.

Alison lowered her pepper spray back into her purse when she noticed it was the klutzy red headed Serpent from the party. The party…Alison still couldn’t bring herself to think about it. But given the way her and the red head’s earlier interaction went down Alison knew she didn’t really have a reason to be scared. 

“Oh. It’s you. Well now I know I’m safe.” Alison quipped. “I would ask you what you’re doing out so late, but gang members don’t really follow the societal norm as far as time goes. I’m well aware of that.” Alison looked the other girl up and down. For a Serpent this girl just didn’t seem to check all the boxes and she was nicer than Alison imagined any of those degenerates to be. Not that she’d admit it. 

“But why are you here, at Blossom Park, on the Northside?” She found herself asking in pure curiosity, but also she needed to ensure that the scoundrels didn’t make themselves too comfortable and knew that their place was still on the Southside no matter if there were Northsiders dumb enough to befriend them. 

“Did I see you chasing a cat? I didn’t think gangs went as far as to sacrifice animals, but I can readily admit I’m not up to date on gang 101.”

It’d been a few years since she came to this park last. It used to be one of her and Simon’s favorite places to hang out on a weekend. But, ever since Clary joined the Serpents, she saw a little less of the Northside. And truthfully, she was okay with that - or she was learning to be okay with it. Clary sighed, her eyes carefully watching as she retracted the pepper spray. Good, the redhead really wasn’t in the mood for any kind of trouble tonight. Clary did however notice something.

For someone who didn’t really like a lot of people, this girl sure did talk a lot. Maybe it came with the territory of being Queen Bee. Clary didn’t know, and it really didn’t impress her. “My friend’s  sister’s cat got out,” Clary arched herself on her tiptoes to see if the cat was anywhere to be seen, but she was failing. Sighing, her eyes flickered back over to the blonde.  “I offered to help.” Not like her admitting anything to this girl was beneficial to either of them.

And of course, the sarcasm. Clary felt her eyes roll before she breathed out a sigh. “Look, we’re not into sacrificing animals or whatever you think you know about being in a gang,” Clary tried, her patience wearing thin with this princess. “But we’re a family and that’s what matters.” At least, it was what mattered most to Clary.

[xxdrxyjxnsxn]

Audrey woke up with bright lights shining through the windows of her room. She blinked her eyes hard twice. Damn that was bright. She looked to her left at her night stand… that wasn’t there. She shot up in bed and instantly regretted it. Her whole body ached, but her chest was the worst. 

It was then that she remembered what happened not even twenty-four hours prior. There was a fire and she was caught in it. She must have passed out because the next thing she remembered was waking up with an EMT above her carting her off to Savannah General. That must be where she is now. She raised her left arm where there was currently a fluid IV inserted in her wrist. She also just noticed she had oxygen tubing in her nose feeding her lungs pure O2. 

She cleared her throat and then reached for the glass of ice water conveniently placed on the bed stand. The water is so cold it burns at first, but she keeps drinking knowing that it would help her in the long run. 

Her eyes adjusted to the light enough for her to look out the window. It looked like the sunrise was halfway through. Meaning it was around seven-ish in the morning. She heard a person softly clear their throat from her doorway. She carefully looked in their direction. “Hey… What are you doing here?” Her voice sounded foreign to her ears. It was dry and scratchy.

[frayedsoul]

Clary couldn’t believe the events of Halloween had turned into such a disaster. She wasn’t terrified herself that night, just for her friends and of course for the people that weren’t so lucky. And that poor kid, Jason. She didn’t know him, but she knew the pain of losing someone. Just like what happened with Kurtz. That night, finding that out, that had broken her heart. And this had too, it was so terrible when people your own age....

She bit her lip, not wanting to even think of finishing off that thought.

But she was here now in the hospital, searching for Magnus. She didn’t know if he was even here, but she knew that he had gotten hurt, so she wanted to make sure he was okay.

Just as she did so, she heard someone say two different things. She thought she heard someone say Magnus’ name and a room number. They weren’t in the same sentence of course, she they weren’t at all even for her, but she thought so, so she stepped into the room only to find someone that wasn’t Magnus.

“Oh.” She stopped by the door. “Hi.” Clary said as she swallowed, feeling a little awkward, though she thought she’d recognized the girl from the party. “You were a vampire.” She noted. “At Seventh Heaven,” obviously, because vampires weren’t real. “I remember seeing you there. Are you okay?” Clary asked, genuine concern in her voice.

[xlxsxndxlxxrxntxs]

Ali was walking around Blossom Park just trying to clear her head. I wasn’t late per se, but it was around dusk and the sun was slowly going down below the horizon. Ever since the Halloween night when everything happened she’s had a hard time falling asleep. 

She wasn’t scared necessarily, but she was keeping only one earbud in during her walk. A girl could never be too safe in this day and age. When she heard some rustling in the distance she took out her earbud and turned the flashlight on her phone on to look around. 

“Who’s there?” She asked in straight forward manner. She didn’t want to give off that she was as scared as she was. “Show yourself or eat pepper spray.”

A loud meow came from the cat as it dashed through the other bush. Clary grunted unhappily. “I can’t believe this.” She rolled her eyes. How terrible was her luck that she’d run into this bully again, in less than what, 24 hours? Clary pushed her way through a tree branch as she stepped onto the pathway with the girl who had antagonized her at the carnival. The redhead now dressed back in her normal attire of jeans a tee shirt and her serpent jacket - noticed the sun was setting in the sky and she really didn’t feel like eating pepper spray or being anywhere alone with this girl, who clearly had an issue with her for no reason.

She watched as the cat sat in now a nearby tree and started to lick its paw. So much for trying to help get her friend’s cat back.

“Look, I don’t want any trouble.” And she really didn’t, but she knew that this girl was the Queen of Drama, and Clary wanted no part of it.

WHO: Clary Fray helping Veronica Lodge

WHEN: Halloween Night

WHERE: Seventh Heaven Night Club

NOTES: Clary and Veronica were enjoying their drinks when panic overtakes the night club.

TRIGGERS: fire, smoke, panic

Clary had no idea what was going on. One minute she was sitting at the bar with Veronica, laughing and having a nice conversation with their drinks in hand, when someone suddenly screeched and started shouting fire. It was odd to think that a fire could actually have broken out in a place like this because people usually thought that situations such as crazy as those could never happen to them.

Tonight was so different.

Tonight, it was happening, and it was happening to them.

People scattered and ran for the doors as best they could, knocking over glasses filled with expensive alcohol and small bowls of pretzels and almonds that were left on the counter.   “Jace?!” She called out as loud as her little voice could from the eruption of people’s screams and now crackling flames within the club itself. She pushed herself to the floor and took a few steps away from the bar. Where was he?! Panic stricken, Clary whipped her head around and noticed Veronica. She needed to help her, too.

Clary didn’t think, only acted at this point, because other people’s lives mattered, her friends lives mattered. She grabbed Veronica’s hand. “Come on,” she  said, noticing just how packed the front entrance and the side entrance was getting. Soon, it’d be over flooded with people and there wouldn’t be a way out.

Twisting and craning her neck, Clary tried to see over the amount of people for another exit, but with the flames growing higher and raging faster, it was getting  more impossible by the second.  “This way!” Clary shouted over her shoulder as she gripped tighter onto Veronica’s hand and made a hasty decision to run for the back door which would lead them out to the alleyway. The young redhead dodged people and flickering flames as she allowed her feet to race toward the back door, her heart pounding wildly, every so often looking back just to get a glimpse of Jace just to make sure he was indeed, okay.

He was second in command, underneath Jughead as King, he held the crown of Prince. A king in waiting and loyal follower of the old King FP, he took the serpents seriously. He had a role to keep up, he wasn’t there to be people’s friend. He was there to stop them getting hurt, or worse, killed. When Clary had joined, Alec originally had made his concerns known. It wasn’t he was against females as serpents. His own mother once held the title of Queen before she married his father and broke her relationship with FP. It some alternative world, he could’ve been a sibling of Jughead. But he couldn’t see Clary fitting in with the rest of them. She was gentle, in her own way and in his eyes a liability. Rules were there for a reason. And he most certainly didn’t like how quickly she wrapped Jace around her finger. Now they were dating, it only added to his annoyance of her constantly being around. 

He scoffed loudly at her being out on patrol. He intentionally paired her with more senior members each time, at least then there would be lesser risk. “You should be like it always. Focused. Aware. You never know when you’ll find yourself in a difficult situation. Basic rules, Clary.” he muttered, darkly. He rolled his eyes. The carnival was hardly the place to get into it. “Do you really think it’s about Jace? He’s my brother, he’s free to do what he pleases. Do I think he could do better, maybe. But that’s neither here or there. How about, I just simply don’t trust you, nor even know you or have intention to want to know you. Not everyone in life is going to be your friend.” 

Clary Fray had always been the girl who was off daydreaming, thinking of her own worlds, ones that she created in her mind, and usually those worlds would end up in her sketchpad. She was always thinking, always dreaming of other places; of what things would look like drawn out in a world of color (or not color) on the canvas paper she usually carried around in her backpack.

He told her to be focused and aware all the time. She really did try, and she thought she was getting better at it, but clearly not.

“Basic rules,” she repeated under her breath, even if her eyes rolled hard at Alec as they stood in line for food. The truth was, she knew he was right. She also knew he’d never trust her on a patrol, no… she knew he’d never trust her at all. And she didn’t know what she had to do to prove to him that she was one of them. She’d been with the Serpents for three years now. Clearly, it didn’t matter to Alec. Nothing she did would ever make him like her, Clary was seeing that now.

But then Alec continued, and all of Clary’s thoughts had been answered.

She felt her heart sink, like someone had just shoved her so hard, her heart fell. Clary always knew she was different, but hearing Alec admit that Jace could possibly do better, hurt, a lot. Quickly, she looked away from him, tears stinging her eyes as they blurred he vision. Words started to bubble up inside her, and before she could stop herself, she turned to face him. “Of course this is about Jace!” Clary snapped, finally having the guts to look at Alec. “You just said you don’t trust me, or want to get to know me, so you’re worried I…” the words caught in her throat, but she pushed on. ”You’re worried I’m going to hurt him because you think I’m not good enough,” reaching up, she quickly whisked away the tears before she allowed them the chance to fall.

Veronica thought about that one. She was a huge party girl, at least she was when she was in New York. When she came to Savannah, she had vowed to herself that she wouldn’t get so out of hand again. You can see how long that lasted her. “I don’t think I really had a favorite either, honestly. Back home, at the parties we usually only had champagne and then if they wanted to mix it up, the kids would mix it and pass it around the flutes, so we just drunk whatever someone made.” She admitted. The best way to be sneaky in front of parents is to do the bad deeded right under their nose. At least, that seemed to work for her bdue to her parents never really paying attention to her .

Smiling, she took a sip of the drink as well nad nodded. “It’s not bad, honestly. I thought it might be too sweet but this might be a contender.” Veronica took another sip of it. “So, do you have a hot date tonight?” She asked her.

Setting her drink down atop the bar, Clary listened when Veronica talked about her home, a place that Clary wasn’t too familiar with. She knew that Veronica had lived in New York, but that was really it. This was actually their first real conversation they were having. “That sounds...risky,” Clary admitted, her mind wandering a little bit. She wasn’t one ever for drinking like that, yes, she herself was reckless indeed, but not when it came to alcohol. Apart from tonight, she wasn’t even sure if this was the longest she’s held a drink in a social setting apart from being outside the Wyrm. 

It seemed she’d gotten lost in thought before she could continue on when Veronica asked if she had a date. Still, her fingers wrapped tightly around the cold glass, she flicked her eyes up to Veronica. Her smile beamed, maybe even brighter than the flush of pink that tinted her cheeks now. “Yeah,” Clary admitted, her head turning over as her eyes scoped out the room in search of Jace...somewhere. “He’s wearing a Beetlejuice costume...I mean, he looks handsome in pinstripes,” eyes still frantic in search of him, Clary smiled back to face Veronica. “Do you?” She asked, reaching over to take another sip of her drink.

[frayedsoul]

xlxsxndxlxxrxntxs​:

Alison laughed at the confused and pathetic look on the red headed girl’s face. She wasn’t reacting like Alison thought she would, but that was no bother. Alison would continue to engage with the scum until it bored her or the red head left, whichever came first.

“I know that you’re part of that despicable gang of misfit toys and that’s enough for me to base my opinion off of.” Alison commented. “At least that costume is such bad quality that the food doesn’t make much difference.” Alison checked her outfit to make sure nothing splashed on her costume. 

The word stung, perhaps a little more than it should have. Very rarely did Clary let words offend her, but this wasn’t just directed at her, it was directed at her friends, at the ones she felt closest to. This girl didn’t know her and from the looks of it, she didn’t know anything about the Serpents either. She knew a lot of people didn’t understand that Serpents, or what they were to people, like to Clary they were family - and she knew some would never accept that.

At the mention of her costume, her eyes fell downcast for a second, even as she stepped forward, lifting her head to look at the girl with some form of sadness glinting behind her green eyes - sadness for the other  girl that she could be so mean, who else was she spitting words of hate at?

“Look, talk bad about me all you want, but don’t bring my friends into it,” whatever she was still holding in her hands, Clary shoved in the girl’s direction. “I’m sure the others wouldn’t be as forgiving,” she stated as she took a step backwards.

[frayedsoul]

“That sounds good to me. I am excited, I love letting people try new things, because I like to. We have to get to know our favorites. When we are in college, with cute guys, we totally gotta let them know we know our suff.” Veronica chuckled softly at her before nodding. WAlking over to the bar with Clary, she ordered two of the drinks that she thought would sound good, which at first was something about a beach and she handed over one to her and then she took one. “THere we go! OUr first drink of the night!”

Clary laughed lightly when Veronica mentioned being in college with cute guys that they needed to know their stuff. Clary had never been one for drinking really, and she wasn’t a party girl at all, but once in a while, she didn’t mind a drink; especially if it was with a friend. She scrunched up her nose in thought. “I’m not sure if I even have a favorite.” Smiling though, she shook her head because it wasn’t that important to her. “Do you have a favorite?” Her light green eyes wandered the bar for a moment, taking in all of the people that were there, until she was handed a drink.

Clary laughed again, nodding this time. “Here’s to the first,” she lifted it a little before she took a sip, tasting the alcohol as well as the sweetness lingering afterward. The redhead quickly brought her hand up to cover her mouth. “That’s....tasteful.” She giggled.

Jace had to admit, being able to play carnival games and not have to worry about his life or his problems at the moment was refreshing. Here he was, an average teenager with his girlfriend hanging out and being silly. When she chose the bear that was almost bigger than her, Jace laughed softly at her. “That has to be the most precious thing I’ve ever seen. That thing is like a whole you.” He joked with her. He was glad to see that she was happy though.

When she mentioned the next game they play head to head, he nodded at her and thought that was a good idea. “I think I can get behind that plan. What game do you want to pick?” Jace asked her. OF course, he didn’t think she could beat him but hey, he would let her try at least, right? 

Clary laughed with him, keeping the bear tilted over one of her shoulders as they made their way to another game. “It’s kinda big, but that’s the whole point,” she giggled a little, supporting it better over her shoulder as she looked around to scope out another game. The water gun one was one of her favorites, but most of the other games usually came in a close second.

“Oh no,” Clary shook her head, turning to look at him with a smile and a playfulness glinting in her eyes as she reached up and nudged his shoulder. “I picked the last one. It’s your turn to pick.” It was only fair that he pick this one.

[frayedsoul]

veronicaxlodgex​:

“You truly are a doll.” Veronica told her with a smile. She was glad to know that her time and effort put into her wings for her costume hadn’t gone unnoticed, at least by Clary. When she mentioned anything but vodka, the girl looked at the bar to figure out a drink that she could get Clary. “Hmm, what is your poison or do you prefer like a virgin form of a drink.” She asked her, understanding that not everyone was a drinker and she would never knock a person if they didn’t like drinking.

Clary chewed at her lip at the thought of what her actual preference for a drink was. Whenever her and Simon would use their fake id’s to get into bars, she’d usually let him or their friend Maureen pick the drinks. Clary was hardly ever found at bar. “No, it’s okay. I’ll have whatever your poison is,” she pushed some of her red hair behind her ear. “I don’t mind trying new things. Unless you want to try something new, too. Come on.” The red-headed girl smiled as she took Veronica’s hand and led her an empty spot at the bar.

“I guess I don’t really remember much of my childhood, so my dad might have taken me.” Jace admitted with a shrug. “Really? I bet you were the one who won most of them. Simon doesn’t seem to be much of a shot.” He laughed. With her encouragement, he moved to start the game. Of course he would do good at a water gun game, considering with being on the Southside, you kind of knew how to make sure you were a good shot. You never know when you could be in trouble and might need it. As he played the game, he hadn’t missed a ballon yet and he kept going, determined not to look like he didn’t know what he was doing.

After a few minutes, the game had ended and Jace hadn’t missed a single shot. Proud of himself, he let Clary choose which stuffed animal that she wanted. “I have to admit, that was pretty fun. I’m glad you suggested we start off here.” He told her. He felt like a kid again and it was kind of a nice feeling.

Clary knew what that was like. Some parts of her own childhood she had even told herself weren’t true, so much so that she had put them so far to the back of her mind that she didn’t want to remember them. Gently though, Clary ran her arm up and down Jace’s own arm to try and comfort him in the simplest way possible. Nodding as she laughed with him at one of her more fonder memories, Clary knew that Jace was right about her winning most of the games. She took a step back then once the game actually started, watching him so intensely as he moved to shoot down each balloon.

Upon his victory, she clapped and cheered for him, running up to hug him. “See! I knew you’d be excellent at it!” Just as she was about to move in for a kiss, the carny cleared his throat and asked here which prize she wanted. “Uh,” Clary looked at her choices and pointed at a giant stuffed bear that was practically almost bigger than her.

Clary threw the bear over her shoulder as she started to walk toward other games. “So, now that we’ve gotten this cliché out of the way,” Clary giggled a little, trying to not walk into people. “Why don’t we face each other in another game and then we can head to the party?” She asked, beaming up in his direction.

“Yes! Honestly, I’m so glad to see another girl in here who didn’t choose the slutty route. I’m not knocking them, of course, if they are confident in their bodies, I am all for it but some of them are so snarky.” Veronica admitted, shaking her head. “Like there’s something wrong with me for wanting to dress like an actual angel and not the sexy version.” She smiled. “Thank you ! These things took me two weeks to finish! I wanted to make it myself.” Veronica didn’t know why she had the crazy idea but hey, she did finally get them done in time. “Awesome! So, what kind of drink do you like?”

“Yeah, totally,” Clary nodded with a smile. It wasn’t that Clary wasn’t comfortable in her body, she was, but she also was a little hesitant in showing off every curve and piece of skin to all of Savannah. Clary Fray was definitely more of a t-shirt and jeans type of girl.
