"Clary!" My mum's voice from downstairs wakes me up. I curse at the idea of waking up so early, I hated it. I grabbed the pillow closest to me and tried my best to cover my ears. I failed.

"Clarissa! Ashley's here, and we have a huge surprise for you!" I startle at the thought of my friend being here so early in the morning. She wasn't a morning person, and ironically, neither was my mum. She was awake, and that really surprised me.

"I'm coming!" I tried to scream loudly so she could hear me.

Before I could force myself to get out of bed, Ashley came barging inside my room.

"How many times do I have to tell you to knock? I could be naked!" I joked.

"Oh, give it a rest! You need to get downstairs. Now."

"I heard it the first time." I refer to my mother.

"Oh Clarissa, don't try smart. It doesn't suit you." She laughs at my words.

"I don't have to try. I'm smart." I wink at her, tucking my hair behind my ears.

"You have a 4.0. Having a 4.0 doesn't make you smart." She pulls my nose.

"Actually, it proves you're super smart." I wink again.

"I'll talk to you downstairs. Get your ass down. It's important." She sternly spoke before leaving my room.

Ashley was my best friend in the entire world since grade one. She was the wittiest person you'd ever meet, and she hated my preposterous use of sarcasm. She had hair that was almost platinum-blonde, a colour I always envied.My eyes were a dull brown, and hers were a mixture of all sorts of blue, like different oceans colliding. Yeah, she did have great eyes, I'll give my best friend that.

We were very different from each other, She was a blonde and I was a brunette. We usually spent all of our time watching movies, or at band concerts. We had a thing for boybands, and it wasn't normal.

We were professional fangirls.

I pulled my hair into a pony tail and hurriedly dressed up in pyjamas again, and blew kisses at my giant cut out of Harry Styles before I walked out of my room.

My phone buzzed and I knew the text was from Will, and I ignored it. He'd been trying really hard to get me to go out with him again, but I always refused. I hated him and oh, I just couldn't cheat on Harry Styles.

Call me crazy, but I was probably the biggest fan alive. One Direction was the biggest boyband in the world, and I was one of the craziest fans. I wasn't obsessed, I was dedicated. I'd been a fan ever since I saw them on the X-Factor, Live and unfortunately, I never saw them live again. Their concert tickets were ridiculously expensive, I mean I'd had to sell off an eye to buy front row seats.

I loved every single one of them, but I had this soft spot for Harry Styles. He was literally on my mind all the time, and I couldn't help but smile like a complete idiot if anyone mentioned his name. Oh, what I'd do to meet him. And it sucked because we both lived in London and thanks to karma, I never had the fortune of running into him at a club, mall or anywhere else. Karma's a bitch.

I still remember when I cried every time he went out with one of those famous celebrities. It's not like he'd ever know I exist, or he'd care. To him, I was just a fan, but to me, he was my world.

I pushed all my thoughts aside, and concentrated on my cereal. I'd been having trouble sleeping, and my days were hectic.

"Did you sleep well, Clary? You don't look too well." My dad asked me.

"I've been having trouble sleeping,dad. I was about to sleep but-

"Let me guess. You were dreaming of Harry Styles." Ashley said for me.

"That and-"

"You were dreaming of marrying him too?" Ashley spoke again.

"No! Yeah, I was thinking of him, and then I thought of this really cool science fiction story I could write about. There were so many thoughts running through my mind, and I had to pen them down."

"That really makes me happy, Clarissa." My dad smiled.

My dad was a writer. He'd been a writer all his life, and he made a damn good fortune out of it. He had a series of ten science fiction books published and he did everything in his power to force me into the habit of writing too. Lucky for him, I loved writing.

"Can I read it-"

"When it's complete, I'll leave you a copy." I winked at him and he frowned.

"So, Clary. As we're aware, it's your Nineteenth birthday, two weeks from now." My mum reminds me. Gosh, I hate birthdays.

"Nothing I don't know already." I shrug.

"There's something you don't know." Ashley laughs, and I know that laugh. She's hiding something from me.

"One Direction is having a concert on my birthday. In London, and tickets are all sold off." I frown.

"There's something else you don't know." My dad says.

"And that is?"

"Bill, tell her. I can't keep it any longer." My mum laughs loudly, her hands on her hips.

"Tell me what?!You guys are driving me nuts!"

"WE GOT ONE DIRECTION CONCERT TICKETS FOR YOU, CLARISSA!" My parents say in chorus and I think I'm going to die.

"THEY GOT FREAKING FRONT ROWS!" Ashley cries with delight.

"Don't bullshit me." I sarcastically remark.

It's as if my dad waited for me to say that, he pulls out an envelope and throws it at me. I tear it open, and scream.

THEY WERE FRONT ROW TICKETS TO MY FAVOURITE BAND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

"THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING." I fall down in my seat and try to cope up with everything I've just heard.

"Oh Baby, you haven't heard the best part yet." Ashley Hi-Fives my mum and they laugh together.

"Guys this is too much to handle right now, tell me later?" I say, not looking up from the front row tickets in my hand.

"CLARISSA FRAY, THEY'RE MEET AND GREET TICKETS!" Ashley screams and I get up from my seat.

Author's note.

So yes, I'm completely aware that I have another Fanfiction (Mine) Which I haven't completed yet, and I intend to, I do. I just thought of another Fanfic idea and I realised I could manage writing two at the same time, so Voila!

And I imagine Clarissa as Lilly Collins. Just a bolder version of her.

P.S: I'm completely aware that I've used the same name as Lilly in The Mortal Instruments, and It's just the name I've used. She's still, a completely different character and the way I imagine her to be. :)

I hope you enoyed it, and i know this note was like 423894719 years long but off i go now~
