"Wake up! Wakeupwakeupwakeup!"

Clary sat up with a groan and almost collided head first with her sister, whose face was centimetres from hers. "Wake up Clary! You're gonna be late for schoooooooooool!"

"Ugh" Clary groaned again. "Lily it's not even 8:00 yet."

Lily snorted. "It's 8:15 sleepyhead."

"WHAT?!" Clary shrieked. "WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP EARLIER?!"

Lily giggled. "I didn't think you'd want to be disturbed, since you know, you were probably dreaming about Jace." She battered her eyelids.

Clary felt herself blush. "No I wasn't!"

"Yes you were!" Lily teased. "But don't worry I wont tell! Oh, by the way Jace and John are waiting for you downstairs, I'd hurry up before they leave you behind and you miss out on quality 'staring at Jace walking to school' time."

Clary sighed as her ten year old sister ran out of her room. She didn't have time for a shower, and besides she had training second period so she'd have one after that. Clary ran to her wardrobe and pulled out a pair of jeans and a pale blue singlet with matching flats. She wrestled her hair into a ponytail and put on pale pink lip gloss and mascara. She grabbed her bag and darted out of her room.

Clary leaped onto the stair rail and slid down to the bottom of the stairs. She ran into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and almost bowled her mother over as she rushed for the door. "Woah!" Her mother said grabbing her by the shoulders. "Where's the fire?"

"I slept in! And if I don't leave now I'll be so late!" Clary said in one big rush.

Jocelyn laughed. "Okay, go on then, Jace and John are by the front door."

Clary tossed a "Good bye" over her shoulder and dashed to the front door. John and Jace were in deep conversation when she got there.

"Hey!" She said, puffing from rushing around all morning.

"Oh sleeping beauty, you decided on joining us this morning." John said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Clary stuck her tongue out at him. "Honestly" He said. "If Jace hadn’t insisted on waiting for you, we'd be long gone by now."

"And that's why Jace is my favourite!" Clary said and skipped out the door.
