The Hidden World

So here's a new Fic! This one is long. Hope you like it!

Chapter 1: New Place, Knew Life

Last year, my mother decided she couldn’t live in Portland anymore, so she started to think where we were to move. She thought of many potential cities she’d like to live in and, in the end, she seemed to think Brooklyn was the best choice.

It took six months to find a flat and finally get settle. My mom was so excited about the whole thing that I didn’t dare to spoil her mood. To be completely honest, I hated moving out. I hated that we’ve moved like a thousand times already! And it was all because my mother liked meeting new people and seeing other places. She would always say “I’d love to get to know the whole world, so I have to start somewhere…”

So that’s why I am now sitting in my new bedroom, looking at my wardrobe, trying to decide what to wear for my first day of school. The only good thing about this is that my mother always waits until the school year ends to move, so I never have to catch up with classes in the middle of the semester. All in all, I still have to make an effort to fit in with my classmates, and that’s the real worst part of this whole thing: having to meet new people. And not just because I didn’t like people, the thing is that I’m extremely shy so it makes things difficult.

After what seems an eternity, I decided to wear my favorite T-shirt (which has a pair of glasses and a lightening) and some jeans. It’s still summer so I won’t need a jacket. Having settled that, I went to bed. It was an awful night! I turned round in bed most of the night and had nightmares in which I would be running because everyone hated me at school. Due to this I woke up earlier than necessary. It seemed pointless to stay in bed so I got ready for school.

As my mother didn’t own a car, I got to go to school by bus (I’d walk, but it was too long a walk) I sat at the end of the bus by the window and looked out all the way to school, preparing myself for a tedious day.

When I got to school, I went to the reception to get my schedule and a map of the building.

“Hi, I’m Clarissa Fray. I’m a new student” I said to the receptionist.

“Oh, yes” She said nicely “I’ve got your papers right here, just wait a minute” She search something on her computer and the printer started to print my schedule. She gave them to me and I looked at them, noting that the map was missing.

“Excuse me but, could you give me a map to get to my classes?” I asked her.

“Sorry dear, but I don’t have any. You’ll have to ask others students to help you out”

Great, just what I needed. “It’s ok. Thanks” I smiled at the receptionist and turn to the door. I haven’t seen him get in, but there he was, the most beautiful boy I’ve ever met in my life. He was tall, muscular, blond and had perfect amber eyes.

He looked at me and said “Do you need help? I’m Jace Lightwood by the way”
