Clarys P.O.V

I sat down in my desk wishing that my best friend Simon was in my class. I sighed softly and started doodling on a piece of paper. Why does it have to be Monday, I thought to myself. I wasn't in a good mood today, I accidentally woke up late and my mom refused to give me a ride to school saying I needed to be more responsible. I sighed I was in grade 10 and everyone else already has their drivers licence I thought to myself worsening my mood further. The bell rang and the teacher walked in but I didn't even bother to look up until I heard gasps and wows around the classroom. I glance up and saw a guy standing at the front of the classroom. I looked around the classroom and the girls where in awe of the new guy whispering to each other and throwing him flirty smiles. I glanced back at the boy, he had golden colored hair and his eyes were covered with sunglasses. The boy looked around the room and smirked, the guy started walking to a desk as he took off his sunglasses and winked at the sluttiest girl in class named Amy. I rolled my eyes and went back to drawing; the boy was obviously a player I thought to myself. I heard a soft thud beside me; I looked up to see the boy taking a seat beside me.

"Hey" the new boy said to me, up close I could see that his eyes were a golden color.

"Hi" I said softly before turning back to my drawing.

"I'm Jace by the way." He whispered in my ear.

"Clarissa." I replied trying not to think about how close he was to me.

Jace smirked "Is that what everyone calls you?"

I shook my head "No my friends call me Clary."

"It's nice to meet you clary."

"I said my friends call me Clary you can call me Clarissa." I said with sweet smile.

Jace smirked but didn't say anything else; I felt the corners of my lips go up as I returned to my drawing, One point for Clary.

The bell rang " Don't worry little Red you will be seeing a lot more of me." He winked at me and walked out the door.
