Well as always I do not own these lovely characters just the plot.
Chapter 2
"Clary Adele if I have to tell you one more time to get up I swear"
"I am up Dad give it a rest" Clary mumbled as she stuck her head under her pillow. She could literally feel the weight of everything slowly creeping over her entire being; NO get up Clary get up and get dressed she told herself. Not even glancing at her floor length mirror she ran to the bathroom to shower. There is nothing like a hot shower to loosen up all the muscles in your body Clary thought to herself as she stepped back in her room to dress. Today her outfit of choice was baggy boyfriend jeans that had holes all over them; once they were on she rolled them up and stuck on her black converses. Now for a shirt she thought to herself while looking in her closet, she ended up with an oversize black tee and wore a tank underneath because she knew it would fall off her shoulders. Clary could feel her wet curls sticking to her neck so she grabbed a ponytail holder and threw her hair up in a bun and quickly walked out of her room without glancing at her mirror once. Clary headed toward the kitchen knowing that she would be alone her dad would wake her up in the mornings and then head out to his government job on the base and would not be back home before she was in bed, if he came at all. Checking the clock in the kitchen she realized how late she was running only having twenty minutes to make it to school so that would be a no to breakfast this morning. Running back to her bathroom she quickly brushed her teeth and headed off to school.
Arriving at school front entrance Clary spotted Simon immediately but he was not alone; Izzy had her arm wrapped around his bicep (well if call that a bicep) and she was giggling at something Simon had said. Standing where right there at the front door still Clary watched the two interact; she felt something watching them but she could not really place it…jealousy no that wasn't it…she knew that she did not think of Simon in that way at all. Clary smiled when she saw the look on Simon's face as Izzy continued to giggle and touch him, yep her Si was smitten. Not that Clary could blame him; Izzy was beautiful and truly most guys and probably some girls would jump at a chance with her.
"Are you going to just stand there all day with your shorty" Clary's body shivered at the warm sensation by her ear and she knew exactly where that whisper came from. She spun around quickly with the plan to throw some assy remark back but Jace Lightwood was already walking down the hall. Just look at that ass on him she started blushing realizing her thoughts. No no not a good looking ass at all she kept repeating to herself as she walked by an oblivious Simon and Izzy.
Clary could not tell you what happened in her first few classes her mind kept drifting to places and people, well to people, well just one person to be exact – JACE LIGHTWOOD. She was so aggravated at the fact her body was doing things when she thought about him or saw him. The bell started ringing signaling lunch and to be perfectly honest she was not so sure she wanted to go and be around all those people but just as she turned to leave there was Simon.
"Clary where have you been, I was at our meet and greet this morning like always and you never showed" Simon was doing his whiny baby voice and Clary could not handle it not right now.
"Simon Lewis I was there in fact I walked right past you and you did not recognize me would you like to know why? " Clary tried to raise one eyebrows but it never would work for her. "Huh, Simon"
"No that's okay I have been tying my shoe or something Clare….sorry" Simon was pleading with her and she knew it.
"Well okay then how about we drop it…for now" she whispered the last part to him as they entered the lunch room.
As they reached their table Clary noticed that the usual group was the only ones there.
"Magnus where is your boy toy today" Clary chimed while taking her seat opposite to him. She barely noticed Simon blathering to Brandon and Eric about there upcoming rehearsal.
"I would rather not discuss it, thank you" Magnus retorted with his eyes never leaving the table. Clary saw the hurt not only in his body posture but in his voice and she could only imagine what his eyes would tell.
Clary just said okay quietly and ate her lunch silently while tuning out the other three.
The day ended and Clary made it home tear free and Lightwood free, no need for you today mirror she said to herself walking past it.
Clary did wonder about Magnus though, what on earth could have happened between him and Alec that would have made him so upset. She did not like to see Magnus hurting like he was she planned on trying to talk to him tomorrow. She may not be good at opening up to people but at least she is a good listener she thought.
