Jace's First Time Bowling
Author's Note: Hey guys! This looked waaaaaaaaaaaaay longer when I wrote it. Ummmm, this actually kinda happened to me, so if you don't like it, too bad! Still, please go easy on me. I'm not a writer like my friends. I wanna dedicate this to my friends and my "Jace".
Disclaimer: I don't own the Mortal Instruments.
"Come on Jace, you're gonna love bowling," I said to a stubborn Jace,"I'll teach you." "Nooooo, Clary. I wanna go fight demons! Look my Sensor says that there's a greater demon uptown! Why can't we go fight it?" said Jace. "Jace come on!" I said as I dragged him into the bowling alley.
We all went up to the counter and asked for a lane. We got our shoes, then headed over to lane 15. "Alec, Jace, do you guys need bumpers?" I asked in a tone that you would speak to a baby in. "What's a bumper?" Alec asked. "The bumpers keep the ball from going in the gutter," I replied. "Then no! Real men don't use bumpers!" shouted Jace. "Ok," I said. Jace went first; it went right into the gutter! " Um, Clary, you know those bumpers you were talking about? Can we have them?" he asked. "I'll go ask."
"Excuse me, can you put the bumpers up on lane 15?" I asked the old man behind the counter. "Sure." He walked over and put the bumpers up. "Thanks... Okay guys, here's how it's done." I picked up my ball, and rolled straight to the head pin. It rolled, and rolled, and then, STRIKE! "That's how it's done! Did you see that Jace? Alec, I know you saw it!" I bragged. "Yes Clary, I saw it," said Alec. Jace, being the arrogant, cocky guy he is, said, "Anyone can do that! I can beat you with my eyes closed! You two just wait!"
Alec took his turn, and knocked down seven pins. "Good job Alec, that's pretty good for a beginner," I said. "My turn!" yelled Jace. On the first roll, he knocked down nine pins. "This one is for you Clary," he said, making me blush. He picked up the ball, took an overdramatic deep breath, and rolled it. It bounced from bumper to bumper, missing the pin. "Jeez Jace, glad you think highly enough of me to miss a pin in my honor!" I said sarcastically.
30 minutes later
After much flirting that apparently, "made Alec sick". According to Alec, we needed to just start "planning our wedding". I had gotten many spares, giving Jace the need to give miltiple high fives. Jace had gone and gotten some Sour Patch Kids from the snack bar, letting Alec bowl for him. He gave me one, but I tried to sneak another one from the box in his hand. As soon as he felt my hand in the box, he yelled,"Alec, stop it!" but turned around, saw me, smiled, and gave me a couple more.
They're now on the 10th frame.
"I'm going to get a strike, I feel it in my bones!" said Jace after ten whole frames of failure. Once he picked up the ball, he paused for dramatic effect, then rolled the ball in slow motion. He rolled it to the right, but it curved slightly to the left. It hit the head pin, but not head on. The head pin fell, knocked over one pin, then another, then another, the last pin stood, rocking, after what seemed like ages, it fell! Jace ran over, picked me up, and spun in a circle with me, then kissed me full on the mouth! It was passionate, but he held me like he didn't want to break me. When we both pulled away for air, I caught my breath and said," Wow, I've never seen anybody get so happy over a strike." He smiled and replied,"Clary, that wasn't because of the strike."
