though she be little, she is fierceCLARY SAT AT the table in the kitchen, sipping her coffee.
"What are you going to do today?" Charlie asked, looking up from his newspaper to meet his daughters green eyes.
Clary let out an annoyed breath and briefly closed her eyes for a second. "I don't know. Anything to get away from here."
Charlie nodded, casting his brown eyes down at her phone which was blowing up with text messages from a girl named Hope. "Your friends seem to really miss you." The side of his lip twitched upwards as he saw a soft expression take over her face. He knew one of the big reasons why she hated being here was because she was away from her friends. And that was when an idea popped in his head. "Okay." He cleared his throat and sat his newspaper down on the table. "So how about we make a deal?"
Clary tilted her head and sat down her cup of coffee. "Okay?"
"If you stop running off and spend a little time with Bella and I, and make some friends here, then, I will talk to your headmaster and your mother to see if they're able to come here for a weekend," Charlie said which shocked Clary. "Now, it's only if you do the things I just listed."
Clary pursed her lips. "Father," She blurted out which made Charlie wide eyed and confused. "The headmaster is my dad," She stated, looking Charlie in his eyes. "He was the one always there for me, before and after my mother and him got together, so he is just not my headmaster."
"Alright." Charlie nodded, feeling a little hurt by her words, but he understood. He wasn't there for her, so he didn't have any room to say anything to what she had just stated. "Do we have a deal?"
Clary sat back in her seat and hesitantly nodded her head. "Okay, alright, I can deal with that."
"Good." Charlie smiled. "Bella is up in her room, ask her to go to that diner I was talking about. You two can chat and bond a little while also eating." He got up and walked out of the kitchen, leaving Clary sitting there.
She really didn't want to spend her day with Bella, but she was willing to do anything to get to see her friends -- her family. It's only been four days, but she misses them terribly and wishes that they could be here with her, not just for one weekend, but she's just gonna have to make do with what she's got. She smiled to herself as she thought about them.
"Okay, Clary, you can do this even if Bella's face annoys you," She talked to herself and finally stood up after a few seconds of grumbling. She fixed her fiery red pony tail and then trailed upstairs, making her way to Bella's bedroom door. She knocked and waited a second before Bella finally answered the door, shock taking over her features.
