Hi guys, this is chapter four (duh) and I really hope you like it! By the way, you probably didn't know but, my name is Charlize so yeah. I know right, who's name is Charlize? Haha mine. Anyway hope you enjoy.
"Okay children, listen up. These are your partners for the whole school year, understood?" The teacher said, looking at the whole entire class. The class wasn't even that big, 17 or 18 students at the most but, Clary was still nervous. Maybe it was because Jace Wayland was her Latin partner or maybe it was because she had just moved to this town in August, and yet she still knew nothing about this school. The only reason she was in this school was because her mom had basically shoved her art work in the administrators' faces. She wondered why Jace was in here. Maybe because of his beauty, Clary thought silently and practically gagged after she thought of that.
"Wait, why are you in this school?" Clary whispered to Jace, just out of curiosity. The reasons for him being in this school were endless but, she wanted to know the one reason.
"What do you mean why? I have many, many talents, if you haven't noticed," Jace said arrogantly in a sort of mock tone and all Clary did was make a face at him. Oh God, she's so adorable, Jace thought and silently scolded himself for thinking that. He had a girlfriend; he couldn't be thinking about other girls like that.
"You know what I mean," Clary quickly told him, since they were actually supposed to be working on some Latin sentences for this oral project due in two weeks. She had a feeling it wasn't going to be the best.
"Okay, fine. When I was about five, my dad showed me how to play football and I was a natural. Been playing ever since." Jace said slowly and sadly, Clary thought. Jace had quickly turned from her after that and began doing the work. Huh, she thought again, that is definitely weird.
"That's nice," Clary said to him, feeling slightly bad about bringing up this subject. She didn't really know why this was so touchy for him but, she really didn't like seeing him like this- all sad. She had only seen him happy and annoying, and that was the only emotions she wanted to see on him.
"Really?" Jace looked at her so surprisingly, she smiled. No one had ever thought of that as interesting; usually once they noticed him get all down, they'd just leave him alone, thinking that's what he wanted. When in reality, it was quite the opposite.
"Yeah. I think it's really sweet that you're dad taught you your talent," Clary said to him, liking the smile on his face. She would anything to make him smile that beautiful smile of his. A smile so big, that it looked like his eyes, and nose were smiling too. It was like he was actually happy.
"Oh. Thank you for caring. Most people don't," Jace said and looked into her big-bright green eyes. She shifted a bit so that she was on the edge of her chair, while holding Jace's gaze. Still locking eyes with Clary, Jace leaned onto Clary so close, that she could feel his breath on her cheek. Feeling him so close to her made Clary flush a dark red, and she felt self-conscious, so she quickly turned her face to the side. Jace lifted up her cheek and made her look at him. He wanted to say sic pulchra es, which meant you're so beautiful, in Latin, before-
"Quite the moment you're having there, Mr. Wayland and- oh! Miss Fray, the new student," the stupid-bossy teacher said, purposely interrupting their music. While Jace was thanking this teacher for stopping them (because he knew he wouldn't have been able to pull away) and at the same time, cursing at the teacher silently because a part of him wanted that to continue. Clary flushed dark again at the teacher's vigil eyes and intelligence, but frowned when Jace let out a word she did not understand.
"Do not feel so downgraded, you could do much better," the teacher said again, while filling in their detention slips. This made Clary nod and let out a small giggle, while Jace raged and bowed his head down, in embarrassment. She sort of liked this teacher; besides the fact that he was writing out detention slips for them, he was honest and she liked honesty. He walked up to their desks, sat two detentions slips in front of them, smiled at them gleefully, then turned around and walked back to his desk.
"Thank you- Mr. Bane," Clary said reading off the board and picking up her backpack. She looking down at Jace while standing up and he was staring bluntly at the detention slip. He seemed troubled she thought; getting a detention slip at her old school was no big deal and she supposed it wasn't here either yet, Jace stared at it like this was his one-way ticket to hell.
"Oh no, call me Magnus; I hate it when people call me that, it makes me feel like I'm 57," Magnus said to her, and sent her a wink. She nudged Jace to come to the detention room with her but, he just picked up his backpack and stormed out of the room in a flash. He definitely had some weird mood swings.
"He seems like he's in a bad mood," Magnus said with a concerned face and stared after Jace. Now this was a teacher that generally cared about his students. The students nodded at his comment, agreeing with him. This startled Clary for two reasons; the first being because she simply forgot there were other kids in this class and the second was that they did notice Jace. He had mentioned before that no one cared about him, when really everyone did.
"I think the universe hates him today," Clary spoke out loud but, she really meant it to herself.
