Chapter Two

Clary's POV

Once Clary had put all of her stuff in her locker she took her scheldule, looking for what was her first class.

God, why are class schedules so complicated? She thought.

"Lost, are we?" Clary looked up to see who said that and she felt herself blushing when she saw that it was the blonde dude she saw not two minutes ago. Stop, she said to herself, he's probably a jerk who only wants to make fun of me anyway. And I'm not gonna let him.

"What do you want?" She asked not looking at him. Ok, it was rude but she didn't want him to think she was interested in him or anything.

"Just wanted to introduced myself. Jace Herondale. Hottest guy you'll ever met." He said with a wink.

"Okay, Jace, I don't know what game you're playing but I really don't want to be a part of it."

"There's no game baby."

"Don't call me that."

He took her schedule from her. "So what do we have here? Mmm... First period, english with Mr. Morgenstern. You're in luck. Me too. Looks like you'll have a friend to keep you company."

"Thank you but, not thank you. I like to choose my own friends." With that said she closed her locker and went to find her class.

Jace's POV

English has always been boring but when Clary took her seat next to him (okay it was the only one left but still) he thought that this year would be different. He would enjoy english.

When Aline entered the classroom, Jace wasn't very cheery. Yes, she was his girlfriend but he didn't really love her. In fact, he thought she was annoying. And shallow. And judgmental. And jealous. A bitch really. But she had a great body and she was the captain of the cheerleading squad so they were the perfect couple.

" Hi babe." She said as she leaned down and kissed him not very subtlely. When she took her seat, Jace was pretty sure he saw that new girl Clary roll her eyes and that made him really happy. Maybe she's jealous, he thought, well who wouldn't be?

Clary's POV

"Everyone quiet please!", Mr. Morgenstern said. "So this semester, we are gonna work on expressing our opinion. First there is going to be this project where you are going to watch a movie and then I want you to write at least 1000 words about what you think of it. This will be a teamwork. And I will choose the teams." The whole class started talking about how unfair that was when the teacher interrupted them. "And if I hear anyone complain about their teammate, they'll have zero on this and I'm warning you, this project is very important for this year in english. Now, let's pick the teams."

He seemed to have already made them because he took a sheet and started his reading: " Simon Lewis and Isabelle Lightwood, Jace Herondale and..."

Please not me. Clary crossed her fingers so hard they became white.

"Clary Fray."

Can someone please wake me up this has to be a nightmare.

Mr. Morgenstern finished naming the teams and added: "Oh, and by the way, there will be no time given for this in class so you'll habe to work on this at home."

The bell rings

"Even if you don't want to be friends, looks like we're going to hang out anyway." Jace said, walking next to her. "So your place or mine?"

"Yours, I guess."

"Come by at 8?"

"Tonight?"

"Yeah"

The sooner, the better, she thought. "Ummh.. okay."
