Author's note:

I am so glad you liked that chapter.

I have some big plans for this, although it will be a short fic.

Okay, they have seen each other, now what?

Read to see...

Clarissa was able to move from her spot once Shelia broke the trance she had been in.

She didn't look at him when she got to the table, taking a seat next to Sebastian and realising with annoyance that Jace was across from her. She couldn't look at him, then they would all know. They would know she knew Jace, she cared for Jace and she couldn't let that happen.

"Hey baby," Sebastian said as she settled in her seat. Leaning forward to kiss her on the cheek. Clarissa's eyes inadvertently went to Jace as his lips made contact. His eyes blazed and his jaw tightened as Sebastian kissed her, but Clarissa didn't understand why.

"Ow," Sebastian said as he pulled away, glaring at Jonathan. "Who just throws bread at someone?"

"That's my sister," Jonathan said. "Next time, it won't be bread."

"Oh Jonathan, you are so over protective." Clarissa said, looking at her brother. It was the first words she had spoken since seeing Jace. She didn't look at him or tried not too anyway.

"Clarissa!" Isabelle said excitedly, drawing her attention. "This is Jace Wayland; new guy from California, your brother is letting him try out for the team!"

Isabelle, I know more about him than you, shut up and stop looking at him like that!

Clarissa let her gaze go to Jace.

"Really? You must be something special to get that stubborn jack—butt to let you try out." She smiled innocently at Jonathan.

"Oh you have no idea." Jace replied, his voice like heaven.

"We'll see about that." Sebastian said, slinging his arm around Clary. "Are you coming to see his try outs babe?"

Clarissa looked over at Jace who smirked at her quickly before glancing down at his untouched lunch. He seemed to have packed lunch, Clarissa found that cute.

"Wouldn't miss it."

Clarissa changed into the spare uniform the coach kept locked up. She kept a lot locked up; luckily for Clarissa this one fit her.

"Alright," Isabelle said as they stretched on the field. "We are going to practice the pyramid, because frankly you suck at it. Let's go!"

Isabelle was nothing if not direct.

The other girls began the pyramid; Clarissa was right up the top, one of the people that Isabelle, as captain, stood on. She looked out at the field and saw Sebastian; he smiled and waved to her. Jonathan saw this and whacked him over the head with his helmet.

Clarissa couldn't help but laugh at that.

Then she noticed Jace and all laughter died as they looked at one another from across the field. He was in uniform, and boy did he look good, and he made it no secret to check out her uniformed self. Clarissa turned from him before Sebastian or Jonathan saw the look Jace was giving her.

She was distracted all practice, but luckily, she wasn't the worse one here. A lot of the other girls were distracted by Jace too. Clarissa tried not to dwell on that.

As the cheerleaders were packing, Clarissa noticed Jonathan and Jace shaking hands and smiling.

He must have made the team

She saw Sebastian then and he began to walk over to her, she smiled and walked over to him, after having packed up what she was supposed to, and he wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on top of hers.

"So, Jace is a pretty good player isn't he?" Clarissa said as she pulled away from Sebastian, taking his hand and walking to where she would change.

"Yeah, I guess so, hopefully he will be enough to get us out of this slump."

"I'm sure he will be." They had reached the entrance to the girl's locker room and Clarissa looked up at Sebastian, his brown eyes smiling at her.

"Do you want me to take you home?"

Clarissa was about to say no, that Jonathan gave her a lift to school and would take her home but then she thought about how little time she spent with Sebastian and nodded, hurrying to get changed and coming back out in record time.

"That was fast." He commented, smirking at her as he took her school bag.

"Well, I wanted to spend time with you, not a smelly locker room." Clarissa crinkled her nose at this. The girl's locker room always smelled like perfume, too much perfume and all of different scents. It got quite difficult to breathe in there.

"Cutie." Sebastian bent down and brushed his lips over Clarissa's. Clarissa was shocked, they hadn't kissed before—Clarissa had though kissed a boy before but not like this—she hadn't kissed someone that she was dating because Sebastian was her first real boyfriend.

Except for Simon, but they were ten and got married under the tree in her backyard with candy rings so she didn't count that.

Sebastian pulled back grinned, Clarissa stood and stared up at him, unable to form words.

The kiss was small short and...Nice.

"Why Miss Morgenstern I do believe my kissing has stunned you into silence. I am quite good."

Clarissa shook her head and shoved his arm playfully, about to say something smartass back to him when something caught her eyes. A flash of gold, retreating into the boys' locker room.

Jace?

She turned back to Sebastian and they continued walking, they were nearly at his car when she remembered something. Slapping a hand to her forehead. Sebastian looked down at her in concern.

"Shoot, I forgot my homework in my locker. I'll be right back." She began to run towards the school.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"I'll meet you at the car in a couple of minutes." She called back to him, dashing into the doors and running to her locker.

She put in the combination and got the book she needed, shutting her locker door she turned to go and jumped, seeing something she hadn't noticed before.

"Well, alone at last."

Clarissa looked up at the person before her, feeling her insides melt.

"Jace," She breathed, unable to say anything but his name.

"Well Clary, we meet at last."


Yes, I know it's not long and they haven't really talked yet but, hey! I updated a lot sooner than I thought I would!

Next chapter will be longer and will include more Jace and Clary and possibly the story of why they continued writing to one another

Good, bad?
