red hair. the crown you never take off
the next day with Bella, had Clary boiling in rage, mostly because she didn't need an expert even though she hasn't been to a regular school since forever. She was always homeschooled by her mother.
"Can you just, like, walk away or something?" Clary asked, more like demanded, barely glancing at Bella as she looked down at her schedule. "I don't want to be seen with the likes of you."
"My dad told me to not leave you alone. We all know how much trouble you get into," Bella stated. "You probably would run away as so--"
"I didn't even think of that, but thanks for the reminder," Clary retorted, crossing her arms as she swiftly turned to Bella. "I may have been homeschooled most of my life, but that does not mean that you have to stick by my side as if I'm some blind dog. I can find myself around this place, afterall, it is smaller than the boarding school." She walked away from Bella who had just stood there, shaking her head in disappointment.
"Hey, new girl!" Some jock whistled as Clary stomped by.
He went to grab her but she easily grabbed his face with her right hand and pushed him away from her, walking away as she did so. "Don't touch me," She spoke, swiftly making it to her first class of the day.
She paused at the door, her witchy and wolf senses tingling. She sniffed, her eyes narrowing as she looked around the classroom, her eyes soon landing on a pale guy with bronze hair and gold eyes. She shook her head and stepped into the classroom, looking to the teacher. She wordlessly pushed paper into his chest, keeping her green eyes on the gold eyes that looked back at her.
"Sorry, I'm late," the voice of Bella said as she ran into the classroom, almost running into Clary. She cleared her throat. "This is my... sister, Clary. She's new."
"And apparently rich," the teacher added, looking at Clary's paper. "Your last shool was a boarding school? Cool, but we might do things different around here, Miss Saltzman. You may take a seat by Jasper. Jasper raise your hand." Another pale ass boy rose his hand. Clary frowned and made her way over to Jasper, swiftly taking her seat without looking at him, but he was certainly looking at her.

Jasper was a vampire, a cold one, different than a night walker. Their type of vampire can't eat or drink human things, they can't cry, their skin is like marble, and they literally shine like a disco ball when the sun hits them. Clary did not know this information or else, she would've confronted him. Of course, she knew something was wrong with him and the other pale boy who was sitting beside Bella, but, it's not like she fully knew what her witchy and wolfie feeling were telling her, so she said nothing, only basking in her own anger as she drowned out the world around her.
Jasper is an empath, he can feel people's emotions. And all he could feel from Clary was burning rage that outdid anyone he has ever met, and an underlying sadness underneath the fiery. He frowned as he looked at the small girl, wondering how someone that small could be so angry. But, instead of questioning it any further, she took away her anger and made her lighter.
Clary frowned, looking around the room as she felt something within her change. She felt... different, a good different, but, weirdly, she didn't like it, so she pushed the feeling away and went back to basking in her never-dying rage.
Jasper frowned and looked down at the table. He had felt her push away the happiness he gave her. For some reason, it made her even angrier, and he could feel it. He cleared his throat and looked to Clary who turned her head to him, glaring. "Problem?" She snarkily questioned, narrowing her eyes at him.
He shook his head. "Erm, no, ma'am."
She wrinkled her nose. "Ma'am? Do I fucking look like the "ma'am" type to you?" She sassed. She was so tired of everyone looking at her. Ever since she arrived at the school in Bella's trashy truck, everyone has been staring and whispering things about her, she didn't like it.
"No, I'm sorry Ma--" he cleared his throat due to the glare she was sending him. He may be a vampire, but he could tell, even if he doesn't know her, that she could tear into him while doing her nails. And for some reason, even though he doesn't like being around humans, something about her drew him in. "I'm Jasper Hale," he introduces himself.
"Well, Jasper Hale, I don't care," She spat, raising a challenging eyebrow at him. She just wanted wanted to go to Charlie's, pig out on whatever food he has, talk to her bestfriend's, and then pass out.

After that response, Jasper shut up and looked away from her and to Edward, his brother, who was giving him an expectant look with raised eyebrows. Jasper shrugged and frowned. He knew something was off about Clary, but he couldn't help but feel like she's very familiar somehow.
centuries before school was over, but Clary was happy for once since she arrived in Forks where nothing exciting seems to happen.
As she bursted into the house, Clary was holding a large box of pepperoni pizza. She didn't even glance to Bella and Charlie who were sitting in the living room before she made a beeline to her bedroom were she opened up her laptop and face-timed the twins. She knew they were together and that Hope, even though she doesn't like Lizzie, will show up as well.
"Finally!" Lizzie shouted as she answered the call. Josie was right beside her, smiling big. Hope was in the background, her arms crossed, though, she looked really happy to see her bestfriend. "It's been two days and you just now decide to call us?!"
"Sorry," Clary apologized. "When Charlie picked me up, we got in a fight, I jumped out of the car, transformed. By the time I got to his house, he and Bella both shouted at me, I got angry, ran to my room and basically destroyed it. So, I don't really have anything, meaning I will have to go shopping tomorrow for bedroom decor. And, today, I had to go to regular school! Ugh, it was so terrible. Bella kept acting like I was some lost puppy who needed guidance and anyone who knows me, knows that I am not some charity case! Also, today, at school, something weird happened. It was this really intense feeling, almost like magic, but it wasn't magic, but, then again, maybe I'm imagining things because I am so fucking angry my mom sent me here. Why here of all places?! I don't deserve this," She ranted in one breath before inhaling deeply. "I miss my girls so much. You three keep me grounded... or well, as much as you can."
"Well...damn," Hope breathed out, walking forward so that she was beside Josie. "You need to be more careful. We can't have humans knowing about us. Once they find out ab--"
"I know, I know." Clary rolled her eyes. "I'm not stupid, I know how to keep a fucking secret. Though, at the rate that Charlie and Bella are going, I could rip them into shreds before they can even say "werewolf"," She stated, huffing. "Honestly, I have no fucking clue why I'm here and you three aren't. Like, I know you two are Alaric's actual children, but he is married to my mom, and he has basically adopted Hope. Why am I the only one who is sent away?!"
"Because you know how your mom is," Josie stated. "You know she is the "savior". She has saved everyone someway or another at the Boarding school, but the thing she is most protective over is you, Clare. She would do anything for you. And plus, you know her story. She didn't know her parents, so she wants you to know your's even though you haven't seen your father in so many years. She wants your life to be better than her's."
"How do you always know how to say the right thing?" Clary rhetorically asked, smiling.
"She doesn't!" Lizzie exclaimed. "You should just leave those pathetic humans and come back to us, to me. We miss you so much. It's much better when you're here with us. Just be a rebel like you always are, and come back home! You don't belong there with ordinary people because you're extraordinary."
Clary frowned. "Liz makes a good point, too," She argued.
"She's just being selfish," Josie stated, giving her sister a look as she gasped at her. "Just stay there, at least for a month and see how you feel after that. If you still hate it so much, we'll bring you back, no matter if our dad and your mom say yes or no."
Clary smirked. "I can do with that." She tilted her head, looking at her three best friends. "I love you all so fucking much. I don't know what I would do without you guys."
"Crash and burn," they all stated in sync. "We gotta go, our dad is making sure everyone is in their beds. Bye!"
"Bye, loves!" Clary hung up, frowning as she closed her laptop. "My one month starts now..."
