SIMON POV

As soon as I walked into the cafeteria and I saw Clary with the new guy, I don't like him. Wait no. I don't like flat soda. I don't like crappy boy band pop. I don't like being stuck in traffic. I don't like math homework. I hate Jace. See the difference. (A/N: :) like the reference?) I had been with Izzy for my whole morning and she was telling me all about him and her motto for him and girls. I could sense that he was going to hurt Clary and even if had only been half a day, I hated him already.

He was sitting there, looking all cosy with Clary. I didn't care if Clary had a boyfriend, I was over Clary now. Ever since we were tiny, I'd had a huge crush on Clary. I finally worked up the courage to tell her in 7th grade but she didn't like me back. I'm happy that she didn't because after that I realised that It could've ruined Our friendship and I only see he as a friend now. But Isabelle.

Oh, Isabelle. She's the most beautiful human being to ever walk the planet. She had silky straight and smooth black hair, the perfect figure and the longest legs. Her eyes were the deepest shade of blue and they got darker the further out they went. They looked like crystals, they mesmerised me. Her skin was absolutely flawless. The moment I saw her, my jaw dropped to the ground. It was Magnus who pushed my mouth shut telling me I'd catch flies. It wasn't only her looks that captured me, I had spoken to her non-stop all morning and she had such a kind heart and she was so funny and sweet.

I tried to stay focused on the conversation, but I felt like Clary was in trouble because of Jace. I sighed and looked over at Magnus, Isabelle, and Aline.

"So sweethearts, when should we arrange our next trip to the mall so we can all go glam up!" Magnus smiled, looking extremely excited.

Clary, Jordan and I groaned, whilst Isabelle squealed an unnatural high sound and Maia and Aline just smiled.

"Ugh. Please not again. I haven't gone shopping since the last time we went. And that was last month in the Summer Holidays!" Clary protested.

"Nonsense darling, you can't say you didn't have fun and if I remember correctly, you are wearing the shorts and the boots that I picked out for you," Magnus stated.

"Only because you told me if I didn't wear them on the first day, you would steal all of my manga comics, my art supplies and my headphones using your magic and everyone's who knows you knows that when you mention magic, you mean business."

Everyone laughed apart from Sebastian who was being oddly quiet. We all knew he had a thing for Clary so maybe he wasn't too happy about Jace either.

I kept on stealing glances at the two of them throughout lunch, there was something off about Jace, and dare I say it, but Isabelle was a bit strange too. I wondered what was going on between the two of them. I felt as if they wanted to be in our group rather than others, Jace would fit in just fine with the football team and Isabelle could fit in with any group she wanted to be in.

All of a sudden, Isabelle and Jace's phones both whistled at the exact same time indicating a message. After they read it they shared a look and Jace muttered an excuse about being new and having to go to the headteacher.

They both stood up and left, they were quickly joined by the other boy from homeroom, a boy with tanned skin and brown hair and a pale boy with soft blonde hair. They all walked out the cafeteria, very gracefully if I may say.

"What just happened?" Sebastian was the first to speak up

CLARY POV

"Well, that was weird. Where did they go?" Aline perked up.

"I think they went to see the head teacher?" I replied

"Yeah well, we can hardly believe that. There's something off about all of them that I don't like." Sebastian glared at the table. This was my chance to talk to him and Simon.

"Yeah, I got that the way that you and Simon were both glaring at him throughout the whole of lunch. Come on guys, they're the new kids, give them a chance. You don't even know Jace and you were sending him a look that could kill. What was the point in that?" I genuinely felt sorry Jace for how Sebastian and Simon judged him before they even knew him.

Simon sighed, "I guess you're right Clare, next time I..." Simon was cut off by Sebastian who stood up and succeeded in knocking the table to the side.

"Right. Come on midge. The only reason you want us to be nice to him because he's good looking and you have a crush on him even though you've only known him for like 3 hours! You can't see past his shield. Underneath I bet he's an arrogant bastard who sleeps with every girl he meets. You're just his next victim and you will probably let him sleep with you whilst thinking he loves you just being the believable bitch you are and in the end, it's your heart that will get broken and we will have to pick up the pieces." He yelled.

At this point, the whole of the cafeteria was staring at us and my vision was blurring from tears. Everyone was dead still, shocked at Sebastian's outburst. I saw my brother heading towards my table looking very pissed. I decided I didn't want to be here and I ran, out of the cafeteria, out of the school, to anywhere my legs would take me.

JACE POV

I looked down at my phone

'Emergency meeting, councillor room'

I looked up at Izzy and muttered an excuse to Clary about the head teacher.

We walked towards the double doors and were joined by Alec. We walked in silence to the room, every possible problem played out in my head. Something serious could have gone wrong, or we wouldn't have been called out during school.

We reached the entrance and walked in to meet Hodge, we all looked at him expectantly. He was standing alone at the front of the room, he seemed to be playing with a very small black thing that looked like a cross between a wand and a pen. As soon as he saw us he put it away and looked at us urgently.

"Okay. We don't have much time but something very serious has happened. Valentine has murdered one of the people who helped Jocelyn run away from him. Her name was Ella Herondale." I froze. Herondale. That was my surname. "Relax Jace, nobody related to you just the same surname. But he left a message." I visibly tensed becoming increasingly worried.

"The Fray/Morgenstern's in even more danger than before. He left a note written in her blood saying, I'm coming for you. We must be with them more permanently than originally planned. I am going to be with them for dinner tonight but Izzy maybe you can go over to Simon's and I have someone else with Sebastian who is already their family friend. Okay now get back to the cafeteria before people start to get suspicious."

We all walked out, and Izzy was the first to speak. "Wow, shit just got serious."

"I know, I kind of feel sorry for them, Jonathan's a good kid and Clary seems nice too they don't deserve this," Alec said.

As we walked into the cafeteria I didn't know what to make of the scene that was before my eyes. Jonathan had Sebastian pinned to the floor and was beating the shit out of him. Jordan and Magnus were trying to pull him off and there was now a crowd starting to gather. They were all chanting Fight, fight fight. Aline and Maia looked very worried from the side of the circle. They looked as if they wanted to help but they were scared, but who could blame them.

"HOW COULD YOU DISRESPECT CLARY LIKE THAT YOU ASSHOLE" Jonathan shouted

Wait.A horrible thought entered my mind and I frantically searched with my eyes worrying out of my mind.

Where's Clary?


A/N So I hope you all loved that chapter. I made it a little bit longer than the usual ones. Anyway, where do you think Clary goes? Please give constructive criticism and any ideas you have for the future of this story. Thanks, guys.
