I heard a noise to my left, like a growl. I looked over to see Jace. His eyes had darkened and he was staring at Sebastian. Lovely…

"Well, Sebastian, why don't you take that empty seat next to Clary and she can catch you up on what we're doing."

"Great." Sebastian said softly, grinning to himself.

"Ok class, we are continuing working on the group projects. Sebastian you will be in Clary and Jace's group.

Everyone broke apart finding their partners. Jace walked over to where Sebastian and I were sitting. We started working on our Cell Production Poster, mainly in silence.

Suddenly Sebastian spoke, "Clary, can I talk to you privately."

Before I could answer Jace spoke up, "This isn't homeschooling anymore. You can't leave class."

"Want to bet?"

Sebastian raised his hand and cleared his throat; Mrs. Thompson looked up, "Yes?"

"Well, I left my notebook in my locker and this school is really confusing. So I was wondering if Clary could help me find my locker."

"Sure."

I sighed and stood up with Sebastian, I threw Jace a look that said Nothings going to happen. As soon as we got out of the class, we walked in silence. "So where is your locker?"

"Did you honestly think I needed a notebook, I must be a better liar than I thought?" Sebastian said with a smirk growing on his face. We stopped at the end of the hallway that held out Biology class.

"So what did you need to talk to-" But before I could finish the question Sebastian had pressed his lips onto mine.

I had no idea what was going on, by the time I realized what he had done he was pulling away. My head was spilling, that kiss was…so lovely. I needed it, I needed him. But it was wrong. Everything was wrong.

"No… No I can't do this." Sebastian's arms were still around me. I liked that feeling of safeness around him. We were just friends, we could hug.

"Why? We can finally be together now that I'm closer to you. Wait, do you have a boyfriend… oh, Jace…" Sebastian asked still holding onto me.

I avoided his gaze and muttered, "Yeah,"

"Hey," He put his fingers under my chin and lifted it so I was looking at him. "That doesn't mean I'm going to stop fighting for you."

"No, no you should stop fighting. You see, Jace is really protective over me."

"Oh I know you could hear the growl he made all the way in California. I found it quite amusing."

"You asshole, you knew there was something between me and Jace. Why did you kiss me?" I half- screamed, pushing away from him, but he caught my arm and pulled me back toward him. I tilted my head up towards him, waiting for an answer.

He tilted his head towards me too, our noses almost touching. "I did it because I needed to. I have wanted to do that ever since I left Brooklyn. Boyfriend or no boyfriend, I needed to kiss you." With every word his voice dropped lower and lower, until it was just a whisper. He was so seductive.

I tilted my head a little to the side so we could get closer. I wanted to kiss him, but it would have felt so wrong. His hands slid up my wrists to my neck, cradling it. Our lips were so close, almost touching. Both of were barely breathing. My hands entwined themselves in his shirt. I parted my lips a little…

Then the bell rang.

Students erupted from their classrooms and I flew away from Sebastian, hoping no one had seen us. I rushed back into the class only looking back once. He was standing exactly where I left him; he was looking down at his empty hands. Then he looked back up and winked.

I stumbled into class to see Jace packing up our stuff and handing me my backpack. As we walked out the door he rested his arm around my waist. I just stared at the floor ashamed of what had happen between me and Sebastian. When I raised my head, Sebastian was staring straight into my eyes, with his signature smirk across his face.
