Chapter 4! I hope its enjoyable and satisfying! :) Please Follow, Favourite, and review if you enjoy the story. Please Enjoy! :) I'll update as soon as I can! :)
Ok, important life lesson. Knowing something is going to happen, and then actually experiencing it are two very different things. Though I had expected nothing else, it was still very strange to hear the gossip as I walked past people simply to grab my books out of my locker.
I was used to all the gossiping, however I was most certainly not used to it being about me!
What surprised me even more, was the constant appearance of Jace Herondale. The night before, I had thought that I could predict exactly what the Golden Boy would think when he heard all the rumours, and most-likely the non-stop calls.
I predicted that he would think that I had started the rumour in a desperate attempt for popularity, and that he would tell people it wasn't true, and would then treat me like I was invisible and had never existed. To my complete, utter surprise, he started hanging around me a lot today, shooting me flirtatious glances and smiles.
I decided that he was making fun of me, and so I ignored him. That was until he pulled me roughly to the side and slammed me, none-too gently, into the brick alleyway near the storage rooms after the bell rang.
When the I went to scream, he quickly covered his hand over my mouth, and then his expression of seriousness went into a look of amusement and something else.
Was Jace Herondale pleading?! "Ok, if I move my hand now, are you going to scream?", he asked.
I thought for a moment, then I shook my head slightly. He release his hand, and I immediately started pounding him with questions.
"What was that for?", "Why are you even here?", "Aren't you supposed to be mad?", "Before I get injured, can I explain?", and "Who the hell does this, slamming girls into walls, like some mad book character?".
I got no reply, only a amused gleam in his eyes, and "So…you wanna be my girlfriend?", he asked, as simply as if he were asking someone their favourite colour.
"Whey-huh!", was the incomprehensible noise that left my mouth. That was when his lips twisted up into the most wonderful thing I had ever seen.
A smile. Not just a smirk, but a real, proper smile of amusement. I stood there gaping at him in wonder, suddenly very conscious of his close proximity.
All of a sudden his lips looked quite appetising and I wondered what they would taste like.
"If you could have seen you're face!", he laughed out. "I'm simply requesting that you and me pretend to go along with this, until I drop you, then you can go live your life normally again", he explained.
"Um…Nuh-Uh", I said, waving my index finger in a dramatic gesture.
I expected him to be at least a little bit surprised, though if he was he made no sign of it, as he told me calmly, "And what happens when the school finds out that you made up a rumour for your own popularity?".
Damn it! I felt like a cornered animal.
"Well when you put it that way, I suppose I better change my mind. What do I have to do? No kissing, only pecks on the lips or cheek!", I told him sternly.
"Well, to start, how about I pick you up from your house tomorrow morning and drive you to school? We can talk in the car", he said decisively.
"I can walk to school you don't have t-", I began was was cut off by the golden boy.
"No, really, it would be my pleasure. So I'll pick you up at 7:30 tomorrow?", he asked. It wasn't really a question, more of an order.
"Don't be late", was all I said.
"Thats what I thought", he said as I turned the corner and ran to catch up with Isabelle.
I needed to avoid questions from Izzy until me and Jace had sorted things out.
Oh, what was I getting myself into?
Well, that was Chapter 4! By the way, I noticed the other day that in the first chapter, the POV is really weird, so sorry for that. I hope you will follow, favourite, and review to give me any feedback, or just to commend me for anything! I really like reading reviews and getting notifications when people follow, so please do, I would greatly appreciate it! :) Until next time,
Continue Writing/Reading, ;)
