Tmi high- The Mortal Instruments Fanfic

TMI High 15

Clarys pov.

I sneak down stairs past my mom who has fallen asleep watching tv. She stirs a little bit as the door opens but stays asleep.

Isabelle is standing in the drive way kicking at a pebble and looks up as I walk out of my house.

She looks at me excitedly "Hey!" she says. She looks over at Simons house. "I need your help."

"You are not waking up Simon!" I say reading her mind.

"Oh come on." she says. "I just need to know which window is his." I look up at the house. Of course I know which one is his window, but I'm not going to tell Izzy. Isabelle is looking at me pleadingly.

"No!" I say. "absolutely not!" she looks disappointed but I think she knew what I was going to say.

"What if he is my soul mate and I just don't know it yet. You could be doing a huge favor, you know, helping two people who were meant to be, be together." She stares at me.

I laugh. "Wow you must be hallucinating. How long have you been up? When did you become so lovey-dovey?"

She abandons her puppy dog eyes and smiles against her will. "Wow, you're not as easy to get through as Alec is."

"Izzy, why can't you just wait?" I say "You can find the love of your life tomorrow." I say in a mocking tone.

"Oh, but thats no fun!" She says looking over to Simons house. I start to walk back toward my house. "Clary!" Izzy whines.

"Second window on the second floor." I sigh. "have fun climbing."

"Thanks!" she says smiling toward Simons house.

I walk back into my house and shut the door quietly. I start to sneak past the couch until I notice my mom isn't there anymore. I start to get nervous. Where could she have gone.

I walk to my room and open the door. My mom is sitting on my bed holding my sketch book.

"Mom!" I say shocked.

"What are you doing up?" she says in a genuinely curious tone.

"I, Uhh...." God why did I always have to stutter when it came to stuff like this. "My throat." I say holding my hand up to my neck. "I- it was dry and I needed water." I know shes not believing me.

"Outside?" she says.

"Oh. Yeah. I needed some fresh air." I say thinking as fast as I can. I still don't think she bought it, but she leaves me alone.

"Okay..." she says looking concerned. "who's this?" she lifts the sketch book to a page were I was trying to draw Jace. I feel the heat climbing on to my cheeks. She raises her eyebrows. I stay quiet for a while.

"Thats one of my friends." I say with as much confidence as I can. "Mom" I say frowning at her. "I really need some sleep." I will my face to look tired. "Can we talk in the morning?" I'm kinda hoping she'll forget by morning.

"Sure honey." I lay down in my bed as she gets up. She walks out the door and lingers there for a while before shutting it behind her.
