Chapter 3: Golden Wall of Bricks
Izzy had ended up sleeping over. She woke me up the next morning, declaring that she was going to dress me.
"You'll be Clary 2.0. Shiny and new." She told me to go take a shower while she picked out an outfit. When I was done, I walked out and saw an outfit laying on the bed. I put it on. It was a small black dress. It had a low, plunging neckline and the bottom only went to my mid-thigh. I also wore black heels and a leather jacket. She say me down in front of my mirror and did my hair. Then, she did my makeup. When she was done, I looked up at myself and gasped. She had curled my flaming, red hair, then put it up into a ponytail. My makeup was smoky eyeshadow with red blush and red lipstick. I looked hot. She dressed, then we got into her car and drove to school. When I got out of her car, people were staring. My cheeks flamed and I looked down. Izzy have me a disapproving look that said, 'keep your head up'. So, I lifted my head and tried to look like I couldn't tell they were staring. I received wolf whistles and cat calls from all the guys, and burning glares from the girls. I wasn't looking where I was a going and I hit a wall. I fell backwards and hit my head off the floor. I became extremely dizzy and looked up to see an angel with a golden halo and molten gold eyes. No, not an angel. A guy. Izzy ran over and started talking really fast.
"Oh my god, Clary! Are you ok? Jace, you idiot! You could've seriously hurt her! Do you need a hospital, Clary?" I slowly shook my head. My vision was back and my sense of equilibrium was righting itself. I slowly got to my feet. Izzy sits me down on a chair by a door and then turns around and hits the boy, Jace, upside the head.
"What was that for?" Jace yells.
"That was for knocking my new friend over and for being nothing close to a gentleman when you didn't help her up!" Izzy screamed at him.
"Izzy, who is he?" I was getting tired of not knowing the guy who knocked me down.
"Oh, right. Clary, this is my brother, Jace. Jace, this is my friend, Clary." She scowled at Jace.
"Your brother is built like bricks."
I muttered. Jace seemed to have heard, because he instantly smirked.
"Thanks Red! Your not too bad yourself. Izzy, your new friend is hot."
My face lit up and I got up and walked off. I felt somebody grab my arm and I turned around. It was Jace.
