So Here we go...


I was squealing through my closed lips as they were being assaulted.

Then Jace rested in his head on the crook of my neck.

"Where's Clarissa?" He asked, his lips moving against my neck.

"Me?"

I could tell he was rolling his eyes. "The beautiful Clarissa."

Ouch.

"Is she looking?"

I looked around us. And spotted her. Clarissa Isabelle Lightwood. She had beautiful black hair and dark brown eyes with flecks of blue, and she's really tall which is kinda intimidating.

She looked away and began to walk away with her other friends.

"Not anymore." I replied.

I heard him exhale and he removed his head from my neck.

"Why were you toying with me?" He asked.

"I wasn't. Not on purpose."

"So why do you have Clarissa's phone?"

"Well… It's not like I'm one of the richest people in this campus. Second hand. My dad used to know her dad." I shrugged. "I guess you just have her old phone number. Which is mine."

He looked into my eyes; it felt like he was looking into my soul. "You're going to pretend to be my girlfriend." It was more of a demand than a request.

"Um… What?"

"Did you forget about what you did to me?" He indicated to his face with all the bruises. "This was your fault. You owe it to me."

I grunted. I could tell he thought that I was going to give in. But I shoved him aside and walked away.

"Clary!" Sophie called after me.

But I ignored it and walked into the building to class.

What a wonderful first kiss. I know what you're thinking. She's nineteen and in college and she hasn't had her first kiss. Well, I'm not exactly the type of girl to be the object of a guy's affection.

I have fiery red curls, boring green eyes, opposed to my mother's vibrant emerald ones. I have freckles spattered all over my cheeks and some dusted on my shoulders. Guys don't dig short girls with freckles and glasses. They dig tall girls with flawless skin.

I sat in class. Then realisation hit me.

Jace wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend. What did I just get myself into?


Sophie, Cecy and Gabriel and I were in our favourite milkshake hangout. It wasn't near campus, thank the Angel.

"Clary, you should totally just say yes to him!" Cecy said.

"Really, Cecy? He's a player!" I said.

"Clary! You and Jace are perfect!" I turned and saw his group of skaters making weird kissy faces.

I scoffed, rolled my eyes then turned. I was about to walk away when I saw Jace. I took a step but instant fell, almost on my face when Jace stepped forward and caught me by the shoulders.

My face was directly aligned with his crotch. Oh, crap….

"Clary! You dirty girl!" Jace's group teased.

He pulled me upwards so I was standing, his hands still on my shoulders.

"You gonna say yes now?" He asked.

I made an irritated noise and pushed him away from me.

I quickly untied my shoe laces and stormed off.


Cecy and I were walking down the hall and saw Jace, leaning against a wall, holding a pink tulip.

"Is that for you?" She whispered.

"No…" Though I doubted myself.

We kept watching.

Isabelle –we decided to call her by her middle name since it was so confusing– emerged from the staircase. Jace straightened up and took a step towards her, looking hopeful. She looked down at the flower then walked away from him.

Jace sighed, looking vulnerable and hurt, and then he dropped the tulip then walked towards the boy's bathroom.

"I guess he really did love her." Cecy said.

"Maybe."

"You know, apparently he used to treat her as if she was a princess. Then one day she just dumped him. Leaving him heartbroken."

Cecily and I walked into our math class. Everyone started to laugh.

"Aww! Clary! You are so sweet!" Everyone said.

Some of them were pointing at the whiteboard. It had Clary *heart* Jace on it.

"Ugh." Then I walked to the board rubber then began wiping it off.

I saw Jace walk in, smirking, very different from just a few seconds ago. He took a seat.

"Why is she rubbing it off?" Someone said.

"Maybe because she's been found guilty of it."

"Ha ha order in the court!" Someone else joked.

It was all rubbed out so I sat back on my chair.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Just say yes."

I glared at him and turned away.

He just won't give up.


"Clary! Clary! Wake up!" Max, my little brother said, jumping on my bed.

"Max, it's a Saturday! Don't wake me up right now. Let me sleep."

"Someone's here to see you!"

My eyes shot open. "Who?"

"Your boyfriend!" He sang.

I screamed. What is he doing here? Crap! How did he know where I live?

Max left the room, chuckling.

"Excited." I heard someone in the other room say. Jace. Oh sugar, honey, ice tea…

I walked to the top of the stairs which over looked the living room. It was only, like, six, steps down.

And there was Jace. With my dad, Uncle Luke, Jon and Mom… Uh, oh….

"Dad," I paused. What do I say…? I hurried down the stairs. "This is–"

"Jace." He cut in. "Your boyfriend."

I was standing beside him not.

"Yes. Dad." Jace answered for me.

"I haven't said yes to him yet!" I quickly saved myself.

Jace gave a forced smile.

"Ah, so she hasn't said yes yet." My mom repeated.

"Oh, okay." My dad said.

"You have to relax, Valentine." Uncle Luke said.

Jace, subtly, put arm around me, still 'smiling' and said. "You're gonna pay for that."

This boy… UGH!

-PAGE BREAK-

It was almost the end of the school day when Sophie and Cecily ran up to me. "Clary! Clary!" They both sounded panicked.

"What is it?"

"You have to come, quick!" Sophie said.

Cecily pulled me with her as all three of us ran.

"What? What is it?" I repeated.

"It's Jace!"

We were outside now and it was raining hard.

"Guys! We're getting wet!"

Then I saw a crowd of people outside with umbrellas. We were rushing toward the crowd.

I put my folder over my head to try to prevent my hair from getting too wet because then it'll be a disaster.

We stopped and Cecy pointed. "Look!"

And I saw it. Saw who everyone was staring at.

It was Jace. He was standing. On the top of the building with a sign.

CLARY MORGENSTERN! SAY YES TO ME OR I'LL JUMP.

"Clary!" Come one just say yes!" Cecily said, shaking me to get my attention.

"He won't jump." I said, though not entirely sure of myself.

"Come on Clary!" Sophie said.

"Clary, I will jump!" Jace shouted.

"Jace!" He looked down to me. "Get down from there. That isn't even very high. You'll only break a leg if you jump and you won't do it!"

"Clarissa, you're so heartless." Cecy said.

Jace moved half an inch forward.

"Woah!" Everyone said. "Jace!"

"Mr. Herondale, get down from there!" A teacher yelled.

"Clary!" One of Jace's skater friends said from the top of the building. "He will jump!"

"We've tried to stop him!"

"Please Clary! Have pity on him!"

I waited. He won't do it… right?

"Stop! Fine. I'll be your girlfriend!" I told him.


We have officially been 'dating' for two days.

Time to make it official.

Jace and I were at my house. Standing before my mom, dad, Jon and Uncle Luke.

"Mom, dad, Jon, Luke. This is Jace. My boyfriend."

I saw Luke, Jon and my father's shoulders drop in disappointment. And my mom clapped her hands, happily.

Jace smiled again, it looked a lot more genuine this time. He put his arm around my shoulders like last time then he pulled me into him.

"Hi. Dad." Jace said.

Why does he keep saying that? We're not even married yet and he's already regarding my dad as his family….

Oh, goodness.


5 REVIEWS FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Oh, and Adrina, here you go then. :)

And no, Jace is not related to Valentine. He's just calling him dad because... you know when some people get married and the husband would call the father-in-law 'dad' and mother-in-law mom and vice versa. So Yeah.
