Pen-Pal's.

Chapter 1

Clary spun in her chair-fed up with the summer homework her dreadful teachers had given her just 2 days ago before school ended.
Instead-she spun and spun and spun,watching her room whirl by in a blur.
Her fingers itched to capture that moment on paper so she stopped,hurriedly grabbing her sketchbook off her desk while the image was still fresh in her mind.
She grabbed the pencil she had tucked into her bun and sighed contently as she started to draw.She loved capturing images, getting to place it onto the page with a few strokes of her pencil where a camera could not- at least,not the way she liked and was familiar with.
She detailed the drawing in silence,getting lost in her own little world without an interruption.

That was until Isabelle barged into her room.

Clary yelped as her bedroom door got slammed open,revealing an angry Isabelle,who didn't at all seem the slightest bit impressed by the fact that Clary was right before her very own eyes.
Clary cringed and started to wheel away in her chair,trying to put space between her and her dangerous friend,though that didn't stop Isabelle's glare.
"I've been knocking and calling non-stop for the past half an hour!" She huffed,flailing her arms around drastically," The neighbours were about to call the cops!"
Clary checked the time on her phone and blanched,"Sorry,Iz! I was just drawing and-", though Isabelle cut her off before she could finish,"It doesn't matter,what matters is that Jace Herondale-yes,you heard me right- Jace Herondale is coming to Alicante!!" She squealed as she bounced around the room,her bad mood replaced with girly giddiness.

Clary merely stared up at her friend,not as ecstatic because... well,she didn't actually like Jace Herondale.Isabelle knew this of course,she was Clary's best friend since they were little,but that didn't stop her from fan-girling to Clary about basically everything that was going on in celebrities lives as they spoke.
"He's coming here to shoot a movie! A movie!! We could be some of the extra's! We could be in a movie!!" Isabelle squealed again which caused Clary to cover her ears,already feeling a drastic headache coming on.
"That's cool." Clary said shortly.
Isabelle deflated a bit and frowned at her," Oh c'mon Clary! This is big! This doesn't happen everyday to a town like this!" Isabelle exclaimed,using her hands to gesture what she meant.
"I guess so,but that doesn't mean I want to be in it." Clary defended,biting her lip as she thought about it.
Isabelle deflated a bit more and sulked,collapsing onto Clary's bed before curling up into a ball.
"Isabelle." Clary groaned,not in the mood for one of Isabelle's cinema-tics.
"You-of all people know I don't like these sort of things." She said softly,trying to keep the irritation out of her voice so Isabelle would talk to her.
Clary groaned again as Isabelle didn't answer her and looked around her room,trying to think of something that would get Isabelle to talk.
"Have you done the English homework yet?" Clary said nonchalantly.
"Homework?" Isabelle said disgusted,"We're barely out of the school 5 seconds and you're already doing your homework?"
Clary stuck her chin up and retorted,"I for one,care about my education,thank you very much."
Isabelle grinned as she said,"You're sounding like Simon."
Clary blinked,then shuddered. "Too far."
Isabelle laughed as she sat up properly on the bed. "What was it anyway?" She inquired,leaning back into Clary's pillows. "Write to a pen-pal via computer or letter-show evidence you did so when school starts up again" Clary recited,bracing a hand on her desk as she rotated slowly in her chair.
Isabelle groaned and buried her face into one of Clary's pillows.
"I'm not going to be wasting my time talking to some random person all summer" Isabelle mumbled.
Clary shrugged,not really minding the idea of writing back and forth to someone new. "It would be nice to have someone to write to-since they don't know who you are,you can pretty much tell them anything."
Clary suddenly had to urge to do her English homework.
"Whatever." Isabelle said shortly,pulling out her phone to check on the latest celebrity gossip.
You can pretty much tell them anything.
Clary liked the sound of that.
