I don't own the characters, only the plot :)

Mondays, I hate Mondays with all my heart. Clary repeated to herself while getting dressed, for some reason she didn't wake up when her alarm started to make that annoying sound so now she was late, and an honor student was never late. She grabbed her bag from the floor and she rush down the stairs while brushing her hair, she didn't know why she bothered, it doesn't matter how hard she tried, she'll never be able to control her red curly hair and she hated because of that.

Esteban was already waiting for her in the front of the house; sometimes she didn't like the idea of someone driving her everywhere but days like this she could use the raid so she can make up without a cop fining her.

"Someone slept more that the usual" said Esteban while opening the door for her

"Have I told you how much I hate Mondays?" she ask

"Yeah, like a million times"

By the time they arrived to the school Clary have exactly 7 minutes to run to her locker, put out her books and rush into class before the bell ring. How hard it can be? Well apparently much more than she though.

"Clary" someone calling from behind her, she turn her head to see Isabelle running to catch her "why you're so hurried?"

"Because I have" she watch her clock "5 minutes to get to class and I haven't got to my locker yet" she said rushing a little bit more

"I don't understand the rush" Clary didn't know how she could keep her pace with those 7 inch high heels "You can always get late to class, what's the big deal?"

Clary stopped in front of her locker "Iz, I'm never, ever late" because been late is a sign of lack of control in your life she though and lack of control means weakness, she could still see her father screaming at her those exact words. She graved her books closing her locker.

"At least can you tell me where my class is, I'm so lost" Isabelle said giving her puppy eyes

"Give me your schedule" she obeyed and Clary scanned the piece of paper, before handle it back to Iz "You have English; you walk down the hall to the left, up the stairs, the second door to your right. We have Science together so I'll see you after lunch ok?"

"Sure Clary, see you later" she said and she was gone, Clary stood there for a second before turning around and walk to her classroom, maybe Izzy was right, what's wrong if you run late for a class one time, it wasn't like she would do it again just for his time. She turned around the corner and crash into somebody

"I'm so sorry" she started but stopped when she look into those golden eyes "Jace?"

"The one and only" he said smiling at her "Clary what are you doing here? You don't look like the type of person that skips classes"

"I'm not skipping any classes" she said "I'm just late"

"What a coincidence, me too! This school looks like a maze; I can't find any of my classes"

"What class you have now?"

"Math 102, with Mr. Johnson"

Clary froze for a moment before taking a breath "let's go, I know where the class is" she said starting to walk down the hall

"But I haven't tell you he room" he said behind her. At that time they had already stopped in front of a classroom

"I have Math class too" she said opening the door

"Ah! Miss. Morgensten it's so nice to see you honor us with your presence, but you need an explanation for been" Mr. Johnson looked at his watch "20 minutes late for class"

Before Clary could say anything Jace stepped in "You'll see, I'm new here and she was showing me the around" he said with all the confidence in the world

"And you might be…" Mr. Johnson ask

"I'm Jace Lightwood" he said smirking to all the girls in the room, Clary rolled her eyes

Well Mr. Lightwood and Mrs. Morgensten I will like to continued my class so please, have a sit"

There were only two spots left on the back of the room, Clary let a frustrate sign and sat down on the desk next to the window, she didn't like to be on the back of the room because of her height, she was really small and she could barely see the board, Jace sat next to her. The class went really slow and Clary was dying to go home even though it was the first period. It was going to be a long day.

At the end of the class Clary was about to run out of the room, she wasn't going to be late for her next class, but Mr. Johnson stopped her "Mr. Lightwood and Mrs. Morgensten I need to talk to both," Clary looked at Jace for a moment before walking toward Mr. Johnson's desk, Jace following her "since Mr. Lightwood got transfer in the middle of the semester he needs to update with the class" he said "so Clary I'm gonna need that you tutored Jace while he adapted to the class"

"But, can someone else do it? I have this huge project and I'm going to be very busy, besides… " Clary start to argue when her teacher interrupted her

"Clary, you're the best of the class, I'm sure you can organize your day so you can spend a few hours with Jace"

"There's no problem with me" Jace said smiling at her, which only make Clary angrier

"I mean that if you want your participation I class, which is the 15% of your grade" What? Is he treating me?! How he could!

"Fine, I will" she said storming out of the class, Jace catch her a moment later

"Why so mad, Red?" he ask her

"Look Jace I'm not in a good mod…"

"I can tell that"

"… So if you were so kind to leave me alone, I will be really thankful" and she continued walking toward her next class

"I'll be at your place at 7" when he saw her face he added "for us to study, It's a date." Clary looked at all the students in the hallway and saw all the eyes on her and Jace; no one would expect that the hot new guy had a date with the shy and smart girl in the school. A concern stood in her stomach and her lungs went out of breath, she had to get out of there

"You wish" she said and ran to her next class ignoring all the glares of the others students.

"Clary!" someone called the soon as she entered to the classroom, she saw Alec sitting by himself at the front of the class

"Hey, Alec how you doing in your first day?" she said sitting next to him

"Good I guess, the only thing I'm getting is a lot of glares but no one had come to say welcome" for some reason he sounded sad, it was weird since Alec's brother and sister were really confident and him on the other had was really shy.

"Oh don't worry, they'll get use to it and you'll meet someone" she said giving him a warm smile

"Clarissa, my dear" she turned around to see glitter

"What's up Bane?"

"You think you can help me with my essay? I have never been good for literature"

"Sure, can I meet you tomorrow?"

"That would be awesome" he said and turned to face Alec "By the way I'm Magnus, I apologize for the bad manners of Clary"

"It's fine, I'm Alec" he said smiling at Magnus

"Well I guess I'll see you later" and he left to seat at the back of the room

The rest of the classes went normal and boring as usual, and when the last bell rang Clary ran to where Esteban was parking.

"Let me guest, bad day?" he ask as soon as she slammed the door close

"You don't have an idea" and with that her drive her home. When she entered the house was silent as usual, she kind miss her dad because whenever she get home he'll receive her with a smile, now there was no one to do that

She walked to the kitchen and found Joseph with a cooking book, deciding what to do for dinner. He was their chef but mostly he make sure that Clary eat well since her mom didn't mind if she lived from popcorn and French fries "Hello, Jo"

"Hello Clary how was your day?"

"I've had better" she answered sitting on the counter

"Nothing a good meal cannot fix!" he said with his usual smile

"Actually why you don't take the rest of the day I mean mom is not going to be here for dinner and I can order pizza"

"Are you sure, honey? I can stay there's no problem" he said

"No, really I'm fine"

"Okay, but call me if you need anything ok?"

"Sure" and she left the kitchen. When her father left them the employees learned to give them some space, and that's what she needed at that moment.

She went up stairs and did her homework, she was done by 6:30 and was really boring so she just lie on her bed and order the pizza, it was going to be one of those nights were she went on and on about her father and how it was her fault, and she'll cry herself out till she had no more tears but that was something she cannot do now, not when Jace was…

The door bell rang
