"I told you I'd see you again. You should not have taken me for granted, Clarissa", he says smugly.
I roll my eyes in irritation repeat my question, "Why would you need to see me?"
"Well not you in general. I'm here, actually, to give your school and it's students the opportunity to audition for the chance to perform a concert with me. Tomorrow, my manager and I will be here all day holding the auditions and I get to choose. I'll be here all day to grace you with my presence.", he says loudly for everyone to hear which causes people to gasp in hope of performing a song.
"And what made you pick this school?", my eyes narrowed suspiciously as the noise of the students became loud but not loud enough for them not to hear us still talking
"It was the raffle...or maybe just fate", he says at once before adding,"I will see you there, I hope."
"No, I seem to have other plans at that exact time. Such a pity.", I say.
"Pity, it is..", he says as I watch him gaze at me, "Well, now, I would be honored to perform here on your school stage. That is if it is okay, of course", he asks me putting his gaze on someone else Ms. Blackthorn.
Ms. Blackthorn immediately says, "Oh why of course. It is we who should feel honored."
I roll my eyes exasperated. Really?
"You see that Clarissa? You're supposed to feel honored for me to be gracing you with my presence.", Jace says with a grin etched on his face still looking at me.
"Oh how it must sting for someone not to think of you as highly as everyone else! You poor thing", I say this with a mock pout on my face which causes his grin to grow even wider.
"I know. It hurts so much I might soon become drowned in physical pain rather than mentally anymore. I fear you may have to nurse me back to health"
"I think it is safe to say that you will manage on your own nicely", I say with my hands crossed over my chest.
A cough interrupts him before he can retort and we both turn to see who it was.
"I think, Mr. Jace Herondale, that they want you to sing a song," I say to him when I see it was Ms. Blackthorn who interrupted us and looked expectantly at Jace. I look around to see amazed faces looking back at me (probably the way I talk to him) and girls throwing daggers at me.
"Are you sure it's not you who needs me to sing. You seem pretty eager", he teases me.
I roll my eyes and finally choose to be the bigger person, "Just sing your song for your little fan club", I say looking at a group of girls about to cry or maybe even die in excitement.
He chuckled and said, "Well if I must; I couldn't let you die from excitement could I?"
"Oh, Golden Boy, for you not to sing would be my life support", I say smirking before I walk back to where I was sitting before I performed the song; with my friends while Jace walks to the stage looking stunned by my response.
"And you say you don't like him", I hear Isabelle mutter under her breath while the others snicker in response while I punch her arm which cause her to say, "Shit, Bitch, I was just kidding".
"I know you were", I say not believing her lie but choosing to leave it and ignore the suggestive glances my friends are throwing my way, even Maia.
"Okay," Jace started from his place on the stage to the audience into the microphone," well I will be singing a song I have not yet released but since you have given me the pleasure of performing here, I shall return in favor and perform it". He adds a wink in my direction which makes me roll my eyes. He walks to the band and talks with them for a few minutes, then walks to the piano and sits down and once again looks into my direction.
(Jace-Bold)
When you fall asleep,
With your head,
Upon my shoulder.
When you're in my arms,
But you've gone somewhere deeper.
Are you going to age with grace?
Are you going to age without mistakes
Are you going to age with grace?
Or only to wake and hide your face.
Instruments start to fall into rhythm while he gazes at me while I feel the stares of girls glaring daggers at me. If I was in there place and actually liked Jace Herondale, I would have had the same reaction. He was basically serenading me, which I did find a bit...entertaining.
Well, oh, oblivion.
Is calling out your name.
You always take it further,
Than I ever can.
When you play it harder,
And I try to follow you there,
It's not about control,
But I turn back when I see where you go.
Are you going to age with grace?
Are you going to leave a path that joins?
But, oblivion.
Is calling out your name.
You always take it further,
Than I ever can.
When oblivion,
Is calling out your name
You always take it further,
Than I ever can.
I heard the whole class applause loudly including Isabelle and the rest while I sat there seeing a as Jace stared at me. Damn it! He was amazing. Now how else am I supposed to wound his head.
"So is that worth your life support?", he says into the microphone while looking at me while the clapping died down for the whole class to hear us.
"I don't know. You had a few vocal errors from what I could hear. Your pitch I could tell, was off a few times.", he looked at me for a moment before I say begrudgingly, "but with a little adjustments here and there, it could one day maybe my life support", which cause him to smile.
"Well I think maybe you will have to teach me your music skills", Jace said suggestively.
I only roll my eyes and say, "Maybe", when the bell rings signaling class is over. I quickly get my stuff up while the others walk to the door hanging there, waiting for me. As I walk to them with my stuff, Jace's voice is spoken into the microphone
"Why is it that you always continue to have the last word while leaving, Clarissa?"
A grin is set upon my face and I say, "Well sadly for you it was my God given gift", and then, like the previous day, I walk out with the last word. Interesting.
