AN: I am so sorry, this is kinda a filler chapter, but the ending is pretty good. And two chapters in one day is pretty good!

Clary POV
That was the…I have no words to describe that class. Let's just classify it as weird. But it was a good weird. If weird can be good.
When Jace and I touched, I felt warmth in my hands immediately. And when we pulled away, I felt that heat was gone and I was cold.
Now I'm in Art class with my favorite teacher, Mrs. Morgenstern, my mother. She lets me draw whatever I want to and it gives me a chance to tell her about my plans with Izzy.
"Hey, mom," I greet her.
"Hey, Sweetie, how was Isabelle's?" She can't help herself. She always asks even though she knows the answer already.
"It was great mom and Izzy wants me to go shopping with her after school. Can I go?"
"Of course, but you have to be home tonight. Your brother is coming to visit from college," she says.
Out of the corner of my eye I see a flash of black hair and then Isabelle is in between me and my mother. "Can she also spend the night on Friday, Mrs. Morgenstern? I understand that she just spent the night last night, but today my boyfriend broke up with me and I need her help getting him off my mind so we're going to have a girls night," the lie slips off her tongue and my mom's face softens.
"Of course, Izzy. And I'm so sorry," my mom offers a sympathetic smile and turns back to her desk.
"I didn't know that it didn't work out with Meliorn," I tell Izzy quietly.
"I broke up with him and don't care. But now there's no getting out of the party," she says with an evil smirk. Then she's gone with a flash of black hair before I can protest and off to her last class, math.
"Oh, she's evil," I mumble to myself and unbeknownst to me, my mother heard that.
"Clary! Be nice her boyfriend just broke up with her and she's heartbroken," my mother scolds me and the bell rings. Well, time to draw.
~.o.O.o.~
As I leave the school and head towards Izzy's car, I see Jace talking with the slut, Kaelie, and I feel myself get jealous. I speed up and get in Izzy's car quickly. "Hey Clary," Izzy greets me and goes to turn on the radio, but I stop her.
"Hey, Iz."
"Yeah?" she looks scared now.
"After you left the art room, I said 'oh she's evil'-"
"Thank you for the compliment Clary!" she says, actually happy. No sarcasm whatsoever.
"And my mom yelled at me saying 'be nice' and 'she is heartbroken'". I finish my rant and Izzy is silent for 3 seconds before bursting out laughing. This goes on for a good minute before I join in because it's funny that my mother actually fell for it.
"Okay, okay. We must compose ourselves!" Izzy says that with a voice that sounds like a horrible Napoleon imitation and we start laughing again.
~.o.O.o.~
"You look great in that Izzy!" I tell her. This is the 30th costume she's tried on. I hate her. Everything she puts on looks amazing. She has the model body. And is tall! She really could be a model!
She is currently in the SWAT outfit complete with over the knee boots, fishnet tights, a really, really short black dress with 'SWAT' written across the top, and fingerless black gloves.
"I would, and will never, wear that, but it really suits you Iz," I tell her. I am so done with shopping at this point.
"I think I will get it," she says matter-of-factly and then looks at me with an evil glint in her eyes , "now onto your costume."
"If you think I'm wearing anything like that, you need to be checked into a mental hospital."
It feels like I was talking to a brick wall because she acts as if I never said that and says, "I have got the perfect one for you," and walks back into the changing room. She comes back out with a leather pantsuit with a zipper down the front of it.
"What the….what is that supposed to be Izzy?"
"Cat woman, but you aren't going to wear the ears or mask."
"No."
"Yes. At least try it on," Izzy pleads.
I grab it from her hands and head into a changing room, "Fine."I put it on and walk out there for her to see.
"I knew it was your size when I got it off the rack. You look hot. You're getting that."
"My mom will KILL me if she see it, Iz." I'm thinking of every possible excuse at this point.
"Then it's staying at my house. There problem solved." Izzy is relentless. I might as well give up now.
~.o.O.o.~
I trudge up the walkway to my house and Izzy honks and starts to drive away. Damn that girl is relentless. I tried everything I could think of to get out buying that outfit. But to no avail, I am now the owner of a sleazy cat woman outfit with no back! It only has two straps crossed over each other to keep it from slipping down. I'm going to kill Izzy.
I open the door and am hit by the smell of lasagna. And then I'm hit by my brother, tackling me into a bear hug.
~.o.O.o~
After a delicious meal cooked by my moms' boyfriend, Luke, I go to my room down the hall and fall onto my bed, only to be met with dreams of my golden eyed Angel.
I was in a big house. It looked a lot like Izzy's house. I start towards the stairs to Izzy's room and find that she isn't there. Her room looks the same but something is off. I start back out of the room and go back to the kitchen downstairs. I decide that no one is home and head towards the front door when I am swept into a warm embrace and pulled into the pantry off of the kitchen. It's dark inside the pantry but the person who pulled me in here is unmistakable. Jace. He slowly leans down and pulls me into the sweetest kiss I have ever had.
~.o.O.o.~
I wake with a start and remember my dream. I have never, in my life, been kissed by a boy. This simple crush is getting out of hand. But, maybe this crush isn't so simple.
