Clary's POV
I punched the boxing bag like my life depended on it. It had been 2 weeks since I arrived at the institute, but it already felt like a year. I have my training finals next week, so it's been the same routine every day: eat, train, study, sleep. Tomorrow I'm finally aloud out by myself, and aloud to explore New York for a couple of hours. Izzy volunteered to go with me, but I politely turned her down.
I'm desperately trying to avoid Jace. I'm so embarrassed, not only because of I acted weird around him the day I arrived but because of the incident last week.
1 Week Ago,
I was knife throwing in the training room, as accuracy from long distances was not my strong point. They were excellent knives, ones you would use in battle. I was getting a lot better, when Jace silently entered the room. I saw him out of the corner of my eye. He was literally identical to the man who killed my mother, so forgetting I knew him, I went into full attack mode. I swiftly threw a knife at hm. He dodged it but only by a few centimetres. It left a wide cut on his cheek. To my confusion, he just looked amused. I mumbled my apology and went back to throwing knives.
Present Day
When I finished training, I went back to my room and took a shower. I was sitting on my bed when my phone rang. It was Simon.
"Hey Simon," I said, "how are you?"
"I'm good, in fact I'm great," he answered excitedly. "Hey Clary, could you do me a favour? Look out of your window."
Confused, I did what he asked. Then I saw him. Simon was outside. I screamed through the phone I would be right down, chucked on my jacket and ran downstairs. In my haste, I charged into Alec.
"HEY WATCH IT" he yelled after me.
"Sorry!" I yelled back.
I threw open the double doors, saw him and ran into his arms. I threw my legs around his waist, looped my arms around his neck and kissed him. Simon and I have been dating for a year now, and I hadn't seen him in a month.
"When the hell did you get to New York?" I asked him.
"Just a few days ago," he said. "But Clary, that's not the best part!"
"What could be better than you being here?" I asked.
"Clary, I'm moving to New York!"
I stared at him in total shock. He was moving here? That would mean, they could be together! She screamed again, he lifted her up and spun her around. She gave him a hug and looked at the doors. Jace was there watching. I thought I saw an emotion flicker across his face. It was gone in an instant, so she couldn't be sure that is was real. But why on earth would Jace be jealous?
Authors Note: Please review! I'm sorry, I don't if it was a good chapter, I think I had writers block. I'll update soon!
