Jace's POV
"Good morning I when I walk into the kitchen.
"Morning Jace". Izzy says with her mouth full of coco pops.
"But for gods sake Izzy". I say. "Chew with your mouth closed".
"Shut up". She says and gives a death glare.
"Love you too". I tease.
She just rolls her eyes at me and goes back to eating her coco pops.
I take out a bowl from the cupboard and then I fill it with cocoons and milk.
Just as I'm about to eat the rest of my family walks in.
(A/N in this book Jace was adopted when he was ten).
"Morning Jace" Alec says and sits down beside me with his own bowl of coco pops.
"Morning Alec". I answer.
When I try to eat for the second time this morning I realize I don't have a spoon.
"Alec could you please give me a spoon". I ask and give him my best puppy eyes.
"Ugh, fine". He says and rise from he's seat to get me a spoon.
"Here". He says and throws the spoon right into my bowl of coco pops so the milk splashes up in my face.
"Alec". I roar and he just laughs at me. Just as I'm about to smack Alec hard on the head Maryse walks into the kitchen.
"Be nice to Jace, Alec". She says and ruffles Alec's dark hair.
The next thing she says nearly makes me spit out my coco pops.
"Clary is coming with to a restaurant tonight".
"Clary, Clary Fray?" I ask.
"Do we know any other Clary?". Alec says and rolls he's eyes.
When I last saw Clary she was a short red headed girl with braces, glasses and baggy clothes.
"Wasn't we supposed to have dinner at home?" Alec asks with he's mouth full of coco pops.
"Change of planes". Is the only thing Maryse says as an answer.
"Are we going to pick her up?". I ask.
"Yeah, we are going to pick her up at 6.30".
"Okay". I say.
"And you have to wear formal clothes" She says and both Alec and I sighs.
Clary's POV
I'm sitting in bed with my iPad and reading a story on wattpad when my phone rings.
I look at it and I see that Izzy is calling.
"Hello Izzy".
"Change of planes". She says.
"No hello then". I say and I can practically see Izzy rolling her eyes.
"We are going to a restaurant tonight instead of eating at home"
"Does that mean have to dress up?" I ask with a sigh.
"Yes, and I'm coming to you to help you pick out an outfit".
"When?" I ask.
"Three o'clock".
"Why do we need that much time to get ready?" I ask thinking about what Izzy needs to do that take that much time.
"I need that much time because I want you to look perfect for tonight". She says like its the most obvious thing in the world.
"Anyways, I need to go now." She says after a while.
"Bye Izzy". I say.
"Bye clary". She answers and then she ends the call.
I look at the clock. 12 pm it says.
Just three more hours before Izzy comes over and is going to make memo through the torture that is hair straighteners and eyelash curlers.
I sigh and start reading the story on wattpad again.
Three hours later...
"Hey". I say to Izzy when I open the door.
"We don't have time for chit chat". She says and grabs my arm and drags me upstairs.
"Go and take a shower and put these clothes on after". She says and hands me gray sweatpants and a black t-shirt.
I go in to the bathroom and take a shower and when I'm done I dry my
hair with a towel and then I put on the clothes that Izzy gave me.
And when I'm done I just stare at myself in the mirror.
My eyes look even more green without my glasses on and my hair look like
a dark red mess when it's wet.
I never wear my hair down and I never wear contacts instead of my glasses.
I was quite shy and I didn't really talk to anyone besides my best friends,
Simon, Maya, Alec, and Izzy.
I wanted to wear dresses and skirts but I was afraid of what people was
going to think of me.
But then I decided that I shouldn't care what people thought of me.
I took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.
When I walked into my room I saw Izzy putting up make up and
A hair straightener on my desk.
"Izzy". I said.
"Mhhm". She answered while looking through her big blue bag that
was full of make up and stuff.
"Could you help me with a thing". I say nervously while dragging my fingers through my curly red hair.
"What thing?" She asks.
"I was wondering if you could give me a makeover". I say while looking done on the ground.
Izzy stops what she's doing and looks at me.
And then she squeals.
"Really?" She asks and starts jumping up and down.
"Yeah". I say.
"Omg" she squeals.
She pushes me into my desk chair and then she starts putting make up on my face.
And when she's done with that she takes a hair straightener and straightens my hair.
After she's done I walk over to the mirror to take a look,
but before I can do that Izzy stops me.
"You need to put on your dress before you can look". She says
and hands me a short black dress that have lace sleeves that goes around the neck
(A/N I'm bad at describing things ;) ).
I go into the bathroom and change quick.
When I walk out from the bathroom I see that Izzy had left some
black pumps for me and I put them on too.
They are black with ankle straps.
And when I look in the mirror after I finished putting on
my shoes I can't recognize myself.
My hair is straight and shiny and the little make up that I have
on really brings out my eyes.
"Do you like it?" I turn around and I see Izzy standing in the door way.
"No". I say and she frowns.
"I love it". Izzy comes up to me and stands besides me in front of the mirror.
"You look beautiful Clary". Izzy says and catch my eyes in the mirror.
"You too". I say and take a quick look at Izzy's short silencer dress.
She really is beautiful.
"Come on we're going to be late". Izzy says and grabs my arm
and drags me out of her room.
Jace's POV
I nervously tap my fingers on my leg as I drive the car to the restaurant.
"Nervous?" Alec asks from the passenger seat.
"No". I lie and tap my fingers faster against my leg.
"Are you sure?" Alec asks with a smirk. "Aren't you nervous to meet clary".
I blush and stutter out,
"No...o...oo".
"Sure Alec says with a smug look on his face.
"We're here". I say and stamp on the brake. Hard. Alec flies with his head first into the window and I can't help but laugh.
"Asshole". Alec grumbles and rubs his sore head.
I laugh again and then I climb out of the car.
"Are you coming". I call to Alec when I have walked halfway
to the front door of the restaurant.
Alec climbs out of the car and when he walks past me he smacks
me hard on the back of my head.
"Oww". I say and rub my head.
"You deserved it". He mutters.
Just as I'm about to open the door a voice call our names.
"Jace, Alec". It's Izzy and she walks up to us with a beautiful red head behind her.
And when they come closer I realize that the beautiful red is Clary.
Last time I saw her she was always dressed in baggy jeans and t-shirts.
Alec nudges me with he's elbow with a smirk on his face.
He points to my mouth and that's when I realize I'm gaping.
I quickly close my mouth and I try to hide the blush that is
slowly spreading on my face.
I take a deep breath before I turn on my charm and walk up to clary.
"Hello clary, it has been a while since we last met". I say and then I kiss her hand.
"Yea...h...it...wa...s". She stammers with a blush slowly
starting to form on her face.
Clary's POV
"Should we?". Jace asks, holding up his arm for me to take.
"Su...r...e". I stammer and I can feel my face going even more redder.
Damn you blush.
As we walk into the restaurant I turn my head to look at Jace and I find him looking at me too and I blush even more.
Two hours later still in the restaurant...
I laugh hard and nearly spit out my drink as Jace tell another
embarrassing story about Alec.
I look at the clock on the wall of the restaurant and I see that it's already 9 pm.
"I'm going to head home". Jace says quickly and stands up from his chair.
I stand up from my chair too and together we walk out of the restaurant.
I shudder slightly as i feel the cold air on my bare arms.
"Are you cold?" Jace asks.
"No, I'm fine". I lie but I can't help but rub my hands up
and down on my arms to get warmer.
Jace just rolls his eyes at me and then he takes of his jacket
And puts it over my shoulders.
"Aren't you cold?" I can't help but ask.
"I'm a man, we don't get cold". Jace says like its the most obvious thing in the world.
"Of course". I huff and then I walk faster to get away from him.
But Jace catches up with me and puts an arm around my shoulders.
"Don't be mad now clary". He says.
"You are very annoying". I say. Trying to ignore the tingling
in my arm were Jace arm is lying.
"Annoyingly handsome you mean". Jace says as he opens the car
door for me so I can climb in.
The car ride is mostly quiet and the only sound is Jace
humming quietly to a song on the radio.
As the car stops in my driveway we sit quietly for a while until Jace speaks up.
"It was nice seeing you again clary".
"You too". I say and open the car door to get out.
Before I close the door I take Jace jacket of my shoulders and give it back to him.
"Bye". I say.
"Bye clary". He says with a small smile on his face.
As I'm about to open the door to my house I turn around watch Jace car slowly
Getting smaller and smaller in the distance.
I lie up late that night and think about Jace and when
I fall asleep I dream about him too.
