Camila's POV-
I was running towards darkness, and suddenly a sound erupted out of nowhere. I felt myself falling down.
I open my eyes and and find that I am in my bedroom. Instead of my bed, I am on the floor and now my body aches due to my great fall. I have been having these horrible nightmares ever since my 18th birthday which was 10 days ago. Creepy much? Shit it is Clary's birthday! I wanted to wish her at midnight but I probably fell asleep watching The Vampire Diaries for the 1000th time.
As I started getting up I heard the door of my room opening and it was my Clarrisa standing with her hand on her hips.
"I figured I should come myself to be greeted by dear Hermione Granger for her best friend's 18th birthday" and rolled her eyes. And now I will be taunted for this for the rest of my existence. I went and gave her a bone-crushing hug.
"Happy Birthday Dummy, also for the record I fell asleep, sorry. I will make some breakfast to make it up to you." And suddenly grinning, Clary said "All is forgiven! As much as I would love the breakfast not everyone gets accepted at Columbia like you so I have an interview at Brooklyn School of Arts today. Anyway did you decide what you would be majoring in?".
Yup! I had gotten an early acceptance at Columbia and Princeton during Christmas but I decided to continue in Columbia to be near to my family. "Ya I am double majoring in Dance and Psychology". Clary said "Woaa that's great Cam. Someone is going to be buried in work." I laughed and said, "Guess so, but dancing is my everything, you know it".
"yea Cam, anyway I gotta go, mom's out in the market, you get ready and come to the damn Cafe by noon, Simon's meeting us there."
"sure thing Clary and good luck I am sure you will get in!" so Clary said, "Thanks, bye and I love you!".
- At the cafe
As I was sipping my coffee Clary walked in and Simon tensed. The poor boy has had a crush on her since like forever but she has been too blind to see it! Clary had her sad face on and my protectiveness kicked in.
"Give me the professors' names and I will end them." I glared at Simon in the creepiest way with my 'You would never do it' look. "You know with an email to the dean" said simon. And clary then showed us a letter which said Congratulations.
"Well played Claire", this girl was impossible.
"Fucking sad face really Fray?!," said Simon.
To that Clary chuckled and said, "This day will go down in history as the greatest 18th birthday."
And I let her know " Which is why we are celebrating tonight!" I looked at Simon for confirmation, "Yes, with Maureen after our show!"
And with that, we toasted with our coffees saying "L'chaim", which was kinda our thing since forever!
- Back at the house-
While on our way to the stairs we saw Dot, she is the best and practically an older sister to Clary and I. My mom and Jocelyn were best friends like Clary and I. But then she was deported and never contacted me, and I hated her for that but with Jocelyn and Dot around I never felt the need to have her in my life. Dot got the same kind of gift she gave me for my birthday but in a different colour.
With that Clary went into the kitchen to give her the news of getting in and I followed her in, as soon as she saw us she said, "Yay, you got in!".
To that I laughed and said, "You follow Simon on twitter too?" and she smiled and said, "He only has 92 followers he needs the retweets." Clary said "#Stalkermom".
We sat on the couch laughing, and Jocelyn said, "Gift time!" and gave Clary and me a box. "Umm... Jocelyn, you already got me my favourite boots for my birthday, no need for this."
Jocelyn smiled and said "I know dear but that was just a casual birthday gift this is more like a grown-up thing. The Frays and the Hernandez share a long generation of friendship and consider these as Family Heirlooms, they are steles, they will umm protect you."
"Surprisingly I doodled something familiar to this marking here today, maybe just saw it around the loft," says Clary.
Suddenly Clary's phone rang she talked and said: "Simon will be here in 30, come on we need to get ready Cam!"
Jocelyn said, "Where do you think you ladies are going?" Clary said, "Mom we are going to see Champagne Enema tonight; don't freak out it is the band's new name." Jocelyn said "
But I need to talk to you two, you girls are 18 and everything is gonna change". Clary said "Mom we have had the talk" and she rushed to her room.
I knew Jocelyn was worried so I asked her "What is it, Jocelyn? You said you would tell me on Clary's birthday". Jocelyn said "I know darling, you girls go have fun tonight, we will talk at breakfast tomorrow" and I asked her if she was sure but she just kissed my forehead.
And with that I went to my room, took an amazing shower, I decided to put the outfit Dot got me on. I wasn't too big when it came on make-up. I let my natural waves down, my hair is brown but as summer started I had some dirty blond highlights on them, I also have brown eyes, Jocelyn says they are like my dad. I did a smokey eye and put some maroon lipstick on and wore the boots Jocelyn gave me.
As I came out I saw Clary waiting for me and I saw Luke wishing Clary. Luke was the only figure Clary and I had. As her father died when she was young and mine was a doucheface according to Luke.
I went and said Hi to Luke and hugged him. "I see you got Clary spray paint, trust me just the thing we need today!" and with that we left.
-Outside the club:
"My mom has become so overprotective lately" said Clary.
"You guys don't think that's a little bit suspicious? You not knowing anything about your family? Your mom could be hiding some deep, dark secret." said Maureen to that.
I laughed at said, "Maureen, it's not possible."
"My mother is incapable of concealing anything from Camila and me." said Clary and started painting the van.
My phone started ringing it was Lila from my Dance Academy probably asking if I wanted to practice tomorrow as I went a bit away to talk I was walked into a chest which hit my head.
I suddenly put on my vibe and as I rose my head I forgot what I wanted to say, the guy was an angel, he was mesmerizing, we started staring and I noticed him covered in
black clothes and tats all over him.Dayum I controlled my attraction and said, "Woaa hermano, I know this body is too hot but watch where you are going too!"
He dumbly asked me "You can see me?" and now I was pissed, "well last I checked I don't wear glasses or contacts and you don't have some invisibility cloak." With that, some blond bimbo shouted Alec glaring at him and he just walked away.
I thought 'weird', and saw Clary arguing with some blond dude so I went to check what was happening "Do we have a problem here?"
I said glaring at him, and he just said "She can see me too" surprisingly, Clary and I said at the same time, "Duh bro", and he just walked away saying we had a sight or something, creep.
Clary went to Simon and Maureen can you believe the dude, Simon dumbfoundedly asked "what dude, the imaginary guy you talking to?" Clary and I looked at each, we needed answers and with that, we went to the club to get them.
