A/N: Hello everyone! On this day one year ago I posted my very first Fanfiction. It was a Mortal Instruments story, but it didn't go the way I intended.
Besides that, I'm posting this. It's a follow-up to my one shot "You Think I'm Beautiful?" I figured it'd be a cute story about elementary school kid drama xD
I hope you guys enjoy~

Chapter 1
Everything Has Changed
Recap:
Clary was insulted by three girls in her school. The Seelie Queen ( whose real name is Katie), Aline, and Kaelie. Clary was called ugly. In her misery, Clary began to cry by a tree. Then Jace shows up, comforting her, and calling her beautiful. Before Jace leaves, Clary asks him to meet her by the same tree tomorrow.
It would soon become their meeting place for days to come…
…
…
…
Clary bust out of the school doors and ran toward the school playground. She hoped he wasn't already gone. The familiar base of the tree where she and Jace Wayland met was in her vision.
Almost there!
Clary finally touched the base of the tree and sighed a breath of relief. Her green eyes nervously scanned the area. Kids were pouring out into the playground and the boys and a few brave girls were setting up a kickball game. The cliques of the school broke off into separate groups and walked along the fence, sat on the swing set and just, well, gossiped.
Clary spotted The Seelie Queen, whose real name was Katie, and her cronies lining the fence. Her face flushed from embarrassment when she remembered the encounter she had yesterday afternoon.
You are ugly. It's a fact.
The Seelie Queen had told her.
You are very beautiful.
That's what Jace had told her. That she was beautiful. But she couldn't help but wonder why he had told her that. Was it out of sympathy or something bigger than that?
"Wow, you sure are punctual."
Clary jumped and glared at Jace who was beginning to laugh. "Don't scare me like that!"
His golden eyes danced with playfulness. Jace quickly changed the subject, "So, why are we meeting here again?"
The million dollar question. Why had she asked him to come? Maybe since she was a complete mess yesterday she hadn't been thinking. Clary only needed Simon, her only best friend, to get through in life.
Not Jace Wayland.
"You didn't have to come you know." Clary spat.
Jace chuckled, "Oh, I see." He bent down to her level, like he had done yesterday, and said, "You were only using me for your own personal gain. Rat face isn't here so you needed a replacement."
"No! I-"
"You need to be more independent. You rely to much on other people."
"Shut up!" Clary hissed. She could hardly give a damn if someone heard her say shut up or cuss for that matter! Like Jace had said the day before, everyone cusses eventually so why not do it now?
"I refuse to let some asshat speak to me like this!"
Jace smirked, "Asshat." He mused to himself, "That's a brand new one. You're unique."
Clary flushed. Who did this guy think he was? One day he calls her beautiful and the next he's an asshat?! Did he have some type of mental disease that made him act this way? She was going to ask her mom and Luke as soon as she got home.
"Clarissa~" Jace sang. He twirled one of her fiery red curls on his finger, "Fray~ She likes to Bray~"
"What does bray mean?"
"Look it up, asshat." He mimicked her voice in a high pitched tone.
Jace waved at the dumb founded Clary then he ran off to where his parents were parked at. Clary was very angry. She couldn't believe she asked him to meet her here! How stupid could she get?
The worse thing was that The Seelie Queen was watching the whole exchange between Clary and Jace.
*( The Next Day)*
Clary almost cried tears of joy when she saw Simon walk through the doors of her Home room class. It was hard to control herself when all she wanted to do was hug him then hit him for being gone so long.
"How are you feeling, Si?"
Simon sighed and shook his head. "I still feel like poop. But, my fever is gone."
Clary smiled, "Good."
The teacher began the lesson for the day and at noon the kids took out their lunches. Over sandwiches, Kool-Aid, and fruit, Clary caught Simon up on all of the happenings in school. She didn't dare mention her encounter with the Seelie Queen or her meetings with Jace. Those were private.
The rest of the day was boring to say the least. When school let out, Simon and Clary walked out to the swing sets together. They talked about their school work and about their favorite TV shows.
At the back of the playground, near the fence, she saw Jace reading under their tree.
Wait, their tree?
"Looks like pretty boy is all alone." Simon sneered. "I'm glad you don't have a crush on him like every other girl in the school."
Who would have a crush on him? Not Clary in a million years. But it surprised her that Jace came to the tree anyway. So…
Clary ignored Simon when he asked where she was going. Jace looked up from his book and smirked when he saw her. "So, you ditched rat face and came to look at my sexiness?"
Clary wrinkled her nose in disgust. "You are too full of yourself. And Simon is not a rat! He's everything you're not."
Jace's smirked faded and was replaced by a frown. "Has he ever called you beautiful?"
"Well, uh, no…but-!"
"Then don't compare both of us. Just sit with me until my parents come."
Clary sat down next to Jace and continued to watch him as he read his book.
A/N: Ok, I know that wasn't very long. I liked how this came out though! I would've uploaded it yesterday, but I was over my aunt and uncle's house, then I was sick and my mom refused to get me -_-
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this! Remember to read my one shot "You Think I'm Beautiful?" to fully understand what really happened :D
