*Disclaimer- I do not own MI or any characters, They belong to Cassandra Clare.* A/N: OK hey guys! I'm so sorry, I have school now so it's really I hard to update. This story has been in my head forever, I love the idea of it...so yea. I will update either this one or New In Town every week. SO here ya go, hope you don't hate it too much.

CLARY POV:

Me and Jace have been best friends since babies. Our parents are still best friends, so we're extremely close. He is the one and only person I've told all my fears and worries to, ever since my brother died soon after we became friends. (A/N: About ten yrs ago) I haven't seen Jace all summer, he was in Idris visiting his grandmother, Imogen. She loves me like her own, and I return the love. I usually go with Jace on these summer trips, but my step-father, Luke, wanted to bond with me over the summer, and it was pretty fun. Not all gooey and cliché, but actually real and fun. I was immensely excited, tomorrow was the first day of school, and I would get to see Jace!

Humming happily, I hopped off my bed and looked at myself in the full length mirror. I had completely transformed in the three months Jace hadn't seen me. I ditched the braces and got laser eye surgery, so I now had pearly white teeth and my green eyes stood out, not behind geeky glasses. During the summer I had actually tanned a little bit, so It made everything pop a little more. My hair was loose and curly, down to the middle of my ribcage. My lips were fuller and pinker, my chest a bit bigger, my eyelashes fuller and longer. My whole body was now full of curves in all the right places, like a model, but without the sharp angles. I giggled, imagining his face when he would get a first look. My phone buzzed, getting a text from Isabelle. She couldn't make it to Idris with her brothers, she had gotten sick, and Idris was hard enough to travel to when you were well. (Clary bold, Izzy bold italics)

I put away my phone and got into bed, dreaming about a golden halo of blond hair.

**888**

Beep, beep, beep! My alarm clock screeched. I groaned and slammed the snoozed button, then turned it off. Stretching, I made my way groggily to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and blow dried my hair out. Curling it evenly, I mussed it a bit and applied a light dusting of makeup. Putting on gray blouse with denim shorts, I slipped on my beaded black gladiators and paired them with a black pendant my mother gave me. I gave myself a once over, grabbed my back pack, and headed to my Porsche. My stomach was in knots the entire time. Why? I chided myself. You've seen Jace all your life, why all of the sudden you're shy? I parked the car, took a deep breath and got out, heading towards the oak in the front of the school. Jace's back was turned to me, but everyone else saw me. Alec seemed shocked, even if he was gay. Isabelle squealed and ran to me.

"I knew I could trust you to be hot!" She giggled while I rolled my eyes. Jace whirled around, surprised. When he spotted me, his jaw hung open and he seemed to do a double take. I spun around giggling. His jaw closed with a snap.

"Like whatchya see, Blondie?" I grinned. He gave me a smirk, eyes still full of awe. He still looked as gorgeous as before we parted ways during summer, maybe a little taller. It made my heart beat fast as I took him in.

"Whoa, you changed on me, Red! I wasn't expecting you to be so-" He gulped. "Never mind. C'mere Clare Bear!" He held out his arms and I flew into his embrace happily. It was so warm and familiar, I sighed in relief. I missed this hug so much over the summer. He sank into me and put his face in my hair, a habit of his. He smelled like warm sunshine and the most beautiful cologne in the world. We stayed like that for a while, then reluctantly pulled apart. Izzy grinned then impatiently pulled me out of his arms, insisting that we were late. I glared and gave Jace a kiss on the cheek, surprising both of us. I never did that.

"Uh, sorry." I mumbled. He just gave me a smile and a wink, making my heart stutter. Squeezing his hand one more time, I pulled away and ran to Isabelle, not before hearing Alec.

"Dude, you are so whipped." I turned around and burst out in a peal of giggles. They all turned around, surprised, and I winked and strutted the remaining distance over to Izzy. Once I reached her, we started off for class, but a hand stopped me. It was Jonathon, the school's main hot jock, also one of my friends. For some reason, Jace never liked him. He was drop dead sexy, blond hair in a fro-hawk and beautiful slate gray eyes, with a body almost as hot as Jace's. What the hell? He was smiling and I smiled back.

"Clary! Jeez, look at how hot you got over the summer. You look like a model!" He laughed good-naturally. I grinned.

"Thanks, Jonny Boy, you don't look so bad yourself!" I giggled at the name I gave him last year. He grinned and pulled me in for a hug. Suddenly Jace was right there, coughing. I gave him a look and pulled away from Jon, who looked confused. "I have to go Jon, see you later, OK?" He nodded and headed off to his football friends who were looking at me like they had never seen me before. I turned to Jace, my eyebrows raised, demanding an explanation.

"What?" He winced. "I just don't like him!" I shook my head.

"Why? Don't bullshit me, either."

"Clary, I just don't OK?"

"And here comes the bullshit!" I started to walk away, but he held onto me.

"Please, Clary, I haven't seen you in months, don't be mad!" He gave me puppy dog eyes and I melted. Sighing, I gave him a hug. His arms wounds around me, pulling me closer.

"I'm not mad," I mumbled into his chest. "I just don't like it when you act all weird around him. He's our friend, okay? Try to act like it." He sighed, chest vibrating. I gave myself a small smile, this chest was more familiar to me than anyones.

"Fine."

"Thank you, Angel!" I smiled up at him, filling my eyes with trust, then took off once more towards an impatient Izzy.

SO WHAT SAY YOU? So sorry so short!

Jace: I thought it was awesome.

Alec: You are so whipped!

Clary: Who is?

Jace: NOBODY! 'Death glare at Alec'
