I lay in my bed thinking about the conversation me and Jace just had, I couldn't stop the flashback to my competition when I saw him, the day he lied without even knowing I was there.
'So is Jace coming to watch you perform?' I looked up to see Magnus, leaning over me as I sat on the pavement outside the competition.
'No he can't some football thing or something, I had only asked him if he was busy. He never let me get through the rest.Oh don't give me that look Magnus, it's football. It's really important to him, you know what his parents are like. He has to stay focused on it 100%'
'Yeah I know Clary, What I'm wondering is if he's so busy with football why is he over there heading towards the Mall with Kaelie'. Hearing his words my head shot up and sure enough there he was, walking along with Kaelie head thrown back laughing as Jace grabbed and tickled her sides. They looked like a couple.
'Clary ring him. Just ring him and see what he says'
'yeah sure. He probably had to run out to grab something before right? But why would he be at the other side of the city for that? Magnus?'
Without really wanting an answer I got my phone out and dialed his number whilst watching Jace walk I saw he grabbed his phone, he stopped walking hesitating to answer when he did I wasn't expecting his response 'I told you I was busy with football stuff today, if the coach sees me on my phone I'm screwed. I'll speak to you later'
'But i.' before I even had the chance to get anything else out he had put the phone down on me. He carried on talking to Kaelie and heading into the mall. Why would he be lying to me?
I didn't have to say anything to Magnus, he had heard everything.
'Come on Red, don't cry. Push him out your mind, focus on your competition'
END OF FLASHBACK
I lay in bed as I thought about that moment, and how I felt. I never thought Jace would lie to me. I never expected him to be one of those people to me. I thought about how much my life had changed. Simon, Isabelle and Alec all were hooked in Kaelies world now, losing Jace was hard. But losing everyone at once is even harder. I know I needed to get Jace out of my mind and everyone else to focus on myself but they needed to see what Kaelie is truly like but I can't think of how I would do that. A knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts, I opened it to see Will leaning against the door frame.
'Hey what are you doing here?' I asked shocked to see that it was him in my doorway, I had figured Magnus or Maia had forgotten their key.
'I asked Magnus where you were off after you didn't come back into the stands, he said you usually come up for a nap when theirs tons of time to wait. So figured I'd come annoy you. Kidding, no I came to ask you if you wanted to come for dinner with us later? I'll introduce you to some of the lads from my football team. Bring Magnus and Maia too'
'I don't know… let me think about it'
'Infinity, that was me pretending you had a choice. I'll come by to pick you up at 8. Be ready, dress nice, wear a bikini or something under your clothes. There's a beach party going on later too so we'll head there after we've eaten'
He must of sensed my apprehension because before I could even reply he was speaking again 'look, its not a date. It's just hanging out, being friends introducing you to some new people. Plus my mate Jordan won't shut up about Maia and I have to wingman him and so you have to make sure she comes tonight so they can hit it off.. Thanks bye Infinity'
And with that he was gone, I stood holding onto my door for a few moments staring into the space Will once stood, he never even let me respond. I couldn't help but smile at him… until I turned around and saw the clock. DAMN IT. I was late to go back to the field for the results, I grabbed the key for the room and started running through the hotel, I could see a group stood in front of me with luggage on the floor and rather than slow down and ask them politely to move I thought I'd just jump over their luggage. I've gotta get down to that field fast, 'you must all be present and correct or else' Amantis had said, drilling it into everyone's minds. She would be furious with me if I was the only one not down there.
Of course, it was just my luck to run directly into Kaelie and Isabelle, 'WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING GINGER, JESUS. Do you not know how much my body is worth? Alot? You would of ruined our cheer teams chances at winning if you had hurt me' Kaelie stood pretending to wipe her clothes off as if I had some sort of contagious disease. What was she 12?
I caught a glance at Isabelle staring at me before responding 'Calm down Kaelie, if you panic over nothing much more you might start going grey. Not to mention you're already getting wrinkles by screwing up your face like that' and with that I pushed my way past them and continued down to the field, not without hearing Isabelle's snicker and Kaelie's huff.
Finally I reached the field just in time to hear our group be called out, we had performed really well and were given one of the best instructors to work with. Tessa Grey, she was a world class dance professional. I tried to stop myself from screaming and jumping up and down when we found out we would have her to help us. Only my excitement was short lived when she started her speech
'Right team, I want you to go get something to eat, rest up this weekend because come Monday you will be on here at 7 sharp. You will do exactly as I say, you may be good. One of the best but you need to be THE best. Therefore we need to work on you being synced perfectly and you all need to be fit for the routines I'm going to put you through. Now go'
For a moment we all stood staring at each other, wondering if she was joking 'WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING,GO. GET'
Ok... So I guess this summer camp really was going to kick me into shape.
AN- Ah! New Chapter!
I hadn't updated in ages therefore it took me a while to try get back into writing this story, I hope it's as good as you found the first chapters. I couldn't remember properly if I had wrote a date for when they started at the camp so when I had Tessa state they were to use the weekend for rest ready for the big session Monday i was worried I would be making 2 dates up and get you all confused? I hope not.
Let me know what you think, again I apologize if it doesn't flow so good. I will try to come back to it later to make sure.
Also please bare in mind I don't have anyone to proof read this through so apologies for any grammar mistakes or miss=spellings.
Constructive criticism is always greatly appreciated. I have also started a new story for older married Clace its called Trust in Marriage!
Check it out and let me know what you think
Happy reading, I will try to become better with my updating!
