Chapter One -
"You can't go. I said no" Jace ordered. Clary laughed as she shook her head in disbelif. "and why can't I exactly go?" Clary complained. Jace bit his lip, trying to come up with something to say that can also hide his feelings. Jace had developed feelings for Clary, but he didn't realize it until it was to late. Clary was already dating Simon. Jace didn't even know what Clary even saw in Simon. He was clearly better looking than Simon, Jace thought.
"Exactly" Clary said, throwing her hands up, as she turned around to leave. Without thinking, Jace reached out and grabbed her wrist, causing her to turn around. She froze as her body pressed against his body. Jace's eyes locked on Clary's eyes. She was still shorter than him, and he thought that was perfect. They forgot where they were for a second. Clary forgetting her and Simon's date or that Simon was even coming up any second.
All that floated away for just one second, as Clary starred in to Jace's gold eyes with sparks of light in them. The elevator beeped, signaling someone was coming, but no one moved. Jace's hand trailed through her finger's. His other hand tracing circle's on her waist. "Hey Clary" Simon said, cheery stepping out of the elevator. He froze. "Sorry, am I interrupting something?" Simon asked noticing the tension between Clary and Jace.
Jace was about to protest when Clary beat him to it. "No, I was just leaving" Clary said, pulling her hand out of Jace's gasp. Feeling like a slap in the face for Jace. He watched as Clary walked over to Simon. Simon smiled as he leaned down and gave her a sweet kiss on her lips. Clary was going to give him a kiss on his cheek but Simon wanted different. Clary could feel Jace eyeing her, as she kissed Simon. Sparks for Simon, but not for Clary this time. It was always spark but Clary felt somethinf different. One word, no.
She felt weird, having Simon kiss her. Jace felt a sting of pain and jealousy in his heart, as he saw Clary and Simon kiss. Clary pulled away. "You ready?" Clary asked, looking up at Simon. Simon smiled and nodded. "Where are you two going?" Jace asked, immediately regretting asking because he know he would get jealous. "Just down town to see a movie" Simon answered Jace. Jace nodded, he looked over to Clary.
Clary, looking down at her feet trying to think about something else. Jace didn't respond as he stared at Clary. Her red flaring hair, glisening over her shoulders. Dressed in a black t-shirt with a pair of grey jeans and black heels that Isabella taught Clary to walk in. Layer of black eyeliner and mascara bringing out her eyes. To Jace, she was beautiful. Not just beautiful but the top of the line, beautiful. Every word in the book that meant pretty, gorgeous, sexy. Anything. Clary walked over to the elevator, once opening the gate, stepped inside and leaned against the back of the elevator.
Her, grey messenger bag, laid across her shoulders as she stood there waiting. Looking up, she noticed Jace was still staring at her. Clary twirled a finger in her hair as it passed by her shoulder. Clary feeling an uneasy feeling as her and Jace's eyes connected. "Are you listening to me?" Simon asked, a little annoyed at Jace's lack of concentration. Jace was about to respond when Clary cut him off. "Simon, we're going to be late" Clary wined. Simon ended his conversation with Jace, even though Jace was still ignoring Simon.
Simon walked back to the elevator, next to Clary, who laid reste3d back against the elevator, starring off in to space. Simon's hand rested against Clary's shoulder. Simon smiled at Jace as he closed the elevator gate. Jace stood in front of them, still staring at Clary. The elevator slowly started to go down, breaking eye contact with Jace and Clary as it went down.
