Jace POV
As soon as Clary left Kaelie was all over me.
"What were you doing with her?" Kaelie demands.
"Nothing. Just talking." I mutter because as much as I love Clary and I have loved Clary ever since I started here at Alicante College, I still need to be popular to have a life. I want to help Clary but getting into an argument won't help so I swallow my emotions and falsely joke,
"I was just humiliating a nerd. Pretending to like her. As if I could ever like a nerd I'm the hottest boy in school."
She giggles and skips to our lunch table, waiting until I sit down then sitting on my lap. The whole way through lunch Kaelie and Seelie both try to flirt with me multiple times and are constantly trying to win my attention. But all I can think about during lunch is the way Clary handled the situation she's becoming so much more mature. Definitely more mature than Kaelie or Seelie. Just as I'm about to leave to Kaelie grabs my face with her hands and kisses me forcefully. I immediately shrug her off as the only person I want to be kissing is Clary but as she pouts at me I know I'm her boyfriend so I lean in and kiss her. She takes this as a good sign and kisses me back hard. So hard it hurts. After a two or three minute snog, with a lot of people cheering, I break off and start leaving the lunch room to go to my next class. I don't even need to look back to know there's a smug smile on Kaelie's face. She thinks I'm all hers. She thinks I'm under her spell like so many other boys. If only she knew I was completely under another witches spell.
After football practice finishes I stride up to Clary's house - I know her brother, Jon - and knock on the door. Clary answers, and she clearly wasn't expecting anyone to stop by because she's wearing a two sizes too big Hufflepuff t-shirt and a pair of leggings. She looks a mess with smudged make-up and wild hair, yet in my eyes she still looks perfect. I'm dumbstruck so I just stand there staring at Clary for a few minutes which must have unnerved her a bit as she grumbles,
"Yeah I know I look like a mess but this is what I look like when Simon comes over to watch the Harry Potter movies." I want to say something witty and smart but I end up saying,
"You look perfect." I'm so stuck I don't realise what I just said but Clary just seems to shrug it off.
"So what do you want Goldilocks?" She questions raising her eyebrows. I chuckle; she obviously can't raise one.
"Can I come in Tinkerbelle?" She scowls at her nickname, but reluctantly lets me in. Somehow she's even cuter when she scowls.
"Jon and Seb are in the living room if you're looking for them." She states with no emotion.
"I'm actually here for you." I say nervously what if she turns me down? What if she gets emotional?
"Okay. What do you want? Do you want to terrorise me further? Do you want to pick on me because I'm short, have red hair? Do you want to ruin my life because I'm different from the college sluts? Do you-"I stopped her by putting my finger on her lips.
"I came here to ask if we could be friends. Can we?" I ask. She looks stunned.
"Yeah, sure. If that's what you want. Sure."
"'Kay can I watch Harry Potter with you and Rat boy? I've never watched them before and they sound good." She stares at me like I have two heads or worse: had just had my hair shaved off.
"You've never... who did this to you?" And without waiting for an answer grabs my hand and runs up the stairs. Where we met Rat boy.
"Hey Clary let's get back to Philosopher's..." He trailed off. "What's Goldilocks doing here? Did he bring the three bears?" He asks looking around wildly.
"Does everyone call me that?" I inquire, slightly annoyed.
"Not everyone," Clary says sheepishly, "Just half the nerd population. The other half worship the ground you walk on."
"I like the sound of that." I grin.
"Anyway back to subject. Simon, Jace has never watched Harry Potter so he is watching it with us to save his poor soul." Clary states like I have a broken soul.
"OK as long as he doesn't insult Harry Potter or insult me then he can stay." Rat boy issues.
"Great you guys go ahead I'll be back in a second." She turns to open the door but not before I say,
"Where you off to Tinkerbelle back to pixie hollow?" With a glare coming from her she storms out the room.
The movies are amazing so Clary lends them to me to watch the rest as we could only make it up to Goblet of Fire. Poor Cedric Diggory. But of course Clary also has to lend me all the seven books. Seven freaking books! I now have to read them if I want to get in Rat boy's and Clary's good side.
"We will meet againTinkerbelle and Ratboy." I shout as that sort of what they do in the Lord of the Rings.
"You too Goldilocks. You are welcome to come round any time." Ratboy stands up straight whilst saying that.
"OK I'll see you guys soon." Then I walk out of the door and down the road back to my house all the while imagining what it must be like the nerds who love me.
