Is This Love? |The Mortal Instruments|

Chapter 1

"Magnus I swear I'll cut your throat if you won't stop bugging me with that play" I threatened Magnus while he keeps on insisting I should audition for our school play

"A paintbrush? You're threatening me with a paintbrush Clare" Magnus pointed out the paintbrush I'm holding to

"Just wait till Art Class is over" I mumbled while I adjusted my seat

"Please" Magnus pleaded and held unto my arm making me distracted

"Let me go" I said in a hushed voice when our art teacher came in

"Nope. Not until you agree with me," Magnus said

"Ms. Fray do you and Mr. Bane have something to share with the class?" The teacher called our attention making the whole class look at us

"Now look what you did!" Clary said

"I'll save you from this hag if you agree with me" Magnus offered a deal

"Ms. Fray?" The teacher once again called us

"Fine" I hissed and Magnus let go of my arm after that he stood up

"I was just borrowing a pencil from Clary ma'am" Magnus said with a sweet smile and went back to his seat

"Thanks Clary" Magnus added, But I know what he meant. I just glared at him while he smiled almost like the Cheshire cat

The Teacher instructed us to draw anything we would like and that she will be grading on how we draw it. I started to think of many ideas that come in my mind but settled on drawing Lotus flower. I started to drift off to my world where there were no rules and boundaries, Endless opportunities of painting anything my mind thinks of. Not noticing that I began to loosen a bit and started to paint gracefully, thinking that I was still in my world except I was painting a lotus and then realization hit me I started to wake up in my own world and saw the teacher looking down at me

"Ms. Fray, are you even listening to me?" The teacher asked me

"Wh-what?" I came into my sense that she was calling my attention

"Obviously ma'am Clary drifted off to her own little world" Magnus said

"Enough about that. Your painting is quite exquisite Ms. Fray" The teacher complimented my painting. My painting can you believe it?

"Th-thank you" I replied after that the bell rang, the teacher dismissed us when she called me before I got out of the room

"I'll just wait outside" Magnus mouthed as I looked back at him and approached the teacher's table. Once the Magnus left it was dead silent here

"Am I in trouble ma'am?" I asked

"Trouble? Of course not!" The teacher said and laughed

"I'm not?" I asked stupidly

"No. I called you here because I wanted to tell you something" The teacher said

"You Clary my dear, you have a talent. A talent of expressing your feelings by painting. Believe me I saw you paint that with your whole Heart; you express your feelings and turn them into something Marvelous. Not many really do express their feelings. I just want to tell you that don't waste your precious talent dear," The teacher said

"Um. Thanks" I said awkwardly

"Now off you go" The teacher said and I left

"Well that was awkward" I said when I closed the door

"What was awkward?" I jumped when I heard Magnus' voice behind me

"Jesus! You freakin' scared me" I said and regained my composure quickly
