"Honey i have some good news" i walk downstairs yawning
"what is it mum?" i sit down as i start rubbing the back of my head
"Dark high school is starting up again" i groan
"mum don't you dare talk about school yet"
"okay okay" i hear someone knock at the door so i get up and walk to the door as mum put breakfast on the table
"hello"
"OMG MISA DARK HIGH SCHOOL IS STARTING AGAIN........i hope i get in this year unlike last year" i roll my eyes then look at her
"do you have to yell? some of us didn't sleep very much"
"why didn't you sleep so much?" i start groaning at the question
"i'll just get dressed then we'll go okay before i kill myself" i walk upstairs and put shorts and a baggy tank top and a hoodie so i didn't get cold on then i brushed my long silver hair then brushes my teeth and runs down the stairs.
"Misa come home early tonight" i walk out the door as i wave bye to mum and i start to shut the door
"What ever mum"
"so why do you have to be home early and why is it that when we get to school to apply you always stay away from me?"
"i have to be home early tonight because full moon equals weirdo's and for school it's for certain reasons and if you don't get in this year you can have my spot"
"really you would do that for me?"
"yea and i should mention that the school isn't what u think it is"
"what do you mea-"
"MISA!!!!!!" a boy about our age runs over to us "it's good to see you again misa" he smiles and hugs me then clary rolls her eyes
"good to see you as well mikoshi"
"ummm misa shall we keep going?" i nod then we walk away
"See you at school"
"yea I guess".

We get to school and it's crowded so we push our way through the crowed and finally get to the registration when i see someone that i never wanted to see again.....Derick
"h-hi M-misa are you going to sign up?" he gives me a small smile and i give him a small smile back
"yea i guess so" i get pushed by someone and it looks like i'm going to fall on him and my friend goes to grab me but i put my hands on the desk and flip over the table and land behind them. I look to see who pushed me and i see someone that looked human like clary standing there "why did you push me"
"i-i'm so sorry" i sigh and move unwanted hair off my face and everyone stares at me. I walk back to my spot and put my hood over my face
"it's fine" i sign in and walk away out of the school then Derick comes up to me
"hey are you OK?" i nod then he punches me so i grab his shirt
"don't you ever hit me again you got it"
"make m-" i slam him into lockers and into the wall and leave him on the ground as i walk away.Clary runs to catch up to me but by the time she is behind me i'm already in the woods
