TDA Meets TLH

4: Cordelia

"This can be your room. I told Livvy to give the one across from yours to Lucie." Mark smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Blackthorn." I smiled, blushing faintly.

He laughed. "Call me Mark."

"Alright, thank you, Mark." I grinned.

"You're welcome." He said.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. I looked past Mark, to see Lucie standing in the doorway.

"I'll leave you two." Mark said, and then walked out.

Lucie watched him leave, and then walked up to me.

"He is very handsome, don't you suppose?" She grinned.

"Yes, he is." I blushed.

"I cannot believe this! Livvy looks exactly like me. Do you know what that means, Cordy? I marry Jesse!" Lucie exclaimed.

I chuckled. "I figured you would. I've never seen you so in love with anyone."

She sighed, and sat down on the bed. "It is quite amazing. Miss Carstairs' middle name is Cordelia, I was very surprised."

"I, as well." I sat down beside her. "She is named after me."

"I suppose Livvy and Dru fancy Matthew." Lucie laughed. "It is amusing."

I laughed, as well. "It is. Poor Matthew looked frightened."

"I would like to meet the Herondale boy Miss Carstairs told us about." Lucie said. "I wonder he is anything like James or I."

"Honestly Lucie, he sounds like your father." I chuckled.

She grinned. "He did, didn't he?"

Just then, Anna walked into my room, smiling.

"This is absolutely mad." She said.

"I agree." I said.

She took a seat beside Lucie. "I very much want to meet the Lightwoods Miss Carstairs spoke about. Especially the girl."

"I wonder if she looks like you." Lucie said.

"The Blackthorns look so much like you, Lucie. It is unnerving." Anna said, and then she smirked. "You must marry Jesse."

Lucie blushed. "I must."

"Mark is very handsome." I suddenly heard myself blurt out.

The two girls both smirked.

"He is." Anna admitted. "Do you fancy him?"

"No, you all know I fancy James." I stated.

"I think you fancy Mark, too." Lucie smirked, looking like her father.

I blushed. "I do not. Do stop teasing me."

"Our parents are going to be so worried about us." Anna said. "I hope Christopher will find a way to bring us back."

"Me too. I could not live here for the rest of my life. They wear very odd things." Lucie said.

Suddenly, Matthew ran into my room, shutting it behind him. He then stood with his back against it, his green eyes wide.

I laughed. "What is it, Matthew?"

"Livvy and Dru will not leave me alone. I am quite frightened." He said, looking shaken up.

Anna laughed. "They are in love with you, Matty."

"Why couldn't it be James?" He groaned, and the three of us laughed.

"You should feel flattered." Lucie said.

"I am, but you don't understand. They offered to help me change into new clothes." Matthew said. "I had to leave right away."

I laughed again. "You should have taken offer. That is probably the closest thing you'll have to having a ladyfriend."

Lucie and Anna let out a hoot of laughter, while Matthew glared at me.

"Thanks, Cordy." He glared.

I laughed. "I'm only kidding, Matthew."

He only rolled his eyes, and I laughed again. It was so easy to tease him.
