AN: Hey guys back again. I've skipped ahead in the story to the school part again. I felt like I would just drag out the chapter if I had to write about the weekend in detail and I want each chapter to be quality. But, I will write a small teeny bit on the weekend here :) The Mortal Instruments doesn't belong to me. Etc. etc. I might not be updating for a while :( because I've got to revise for final exams, really important that I don't screw them up so yeah.
I had been avoiding everyone all weekend. My phone had been buzzing incessantly and it was doing my head in so I decided to switch it off. I saw 3 messages from Izzy, a missed call from Simon and a voicemail from Jace and then the screen went black. Why did I feel a twinge of regret after I saw Jace's unanswered call? I doubted that he actually liked me. He had probably done the same thing to every girl in school (apart form Izzy and a few others of course). So why did I actually... well miss him? All I was to Jace was a drunken girl who needed him to literally sweep her off her feet.
Sighing, I rose to my feet and began walking to my closet door sluggishly. I bore a strong resemblance to the Zombies in a movie I had watched quite recently. What was it called again? Warm legs? Whatever it was, I remember the book was better as it always is.
I had just cranked my locker open when a stylish Izzy accosted me.
"Clary! You practically disappeared off the face of the earth the whole weekend. I thought you died or something! Why didn't you answer any of my texts?" Izzy said .
"Honestly, I just didn't want my life purpose, which as you already know is very meaningful (hint SARCASM), to become a zombie who is hooked to their mobile." I said, stifling a yawn.
"Oh you're so grown up, I mean boring. Speaking of life purposes, I reckon I know Jace's new life purpose."
"What, to snog and flirt with every living thing?"
"No silly! It's got something to do with YOU!" Izzy giggled uncontrollably.
"Oh god, I do not like where this is going."
Jace appeared, perfect timing as usual. "Hmm? Someone was talking about me?" Then he saw me, "Well, well ,well if it isn't Clary. So I see you've decided to come out of the rock you've been hiding under the whole weekend. I see you've reverted back to your old style, shame, I didn't mind the dress." Without uttering another word, he slinked off with the grace of a panther.
"OMG Clary!" Izzy looked like she was about to explode.
"Seriously Izzy? He's just being a prick, all he wants is to date me and then dump me. It's just another of his silly little games." I said rolling my eyes, "Come on! We're going to be late for class"
We continued walking down the busy hallway. I tuned out after listening to Izzy for three seconds. Clary, it's all just a game to him. Suddenly a sneaky thought came into my head. Well if it is all just a game I guess I can play too. AN: MUAHAHAHAHA *evil laugh*. Now the fun begins (for me at least).
Time seemed to speed up that day and before I knew it, it was lunch. I grabbed some suspicious-looking 'pasta' and sat down. Not long after Izzy followed. Simon and the gang soon appeared and everyone said their hellos. I stabbed at my dry pasta while avoiding the less than fresh-looking salad. I counted every second 'til art.
After what felt like a millennium we made our way to the art room where the smell of turpentine remained permanent. I had a skip in my step as I gleefully thought over my scheming plans. I'd show Jace that he wasn't the only one who could break hearts.
AN: Hey really sorry it took me a while to post this chapter up :( BUT i'm on a short school break and my exams are over so I'm free-er to write more. Yay! As always review :D
