After the bell rang I ran all the way to the third floor to Mrs. Carstairs' Art Class and when I entered I saw that that blonde god that happened to Jace Lightwood.
Warning: This chapter contains extreme explicit language
Clary's POV
"Oh my God. What the hell am I thinking? I can't be falling for Jace or can I. He's my sister's boyfriend. I don't even know him." The thoughts going through my head were endless. I mean sure he was a little attractive but who the hell I'm lying to. Jace is fricking drop-dead hot. "Focus on the negative Clary. The negative." I kept thinking to myself. "He's a cocky, arrogant, self-obsessed, self-absorbed bastard that's dating your sister." Then a voice snapped me out of my reverie "Clary? Earth to Clary. Are you there? CLARY!" I looked up and saw Jace standing in front of me. "Oh. Hey, Jace." I said smiling sheepishly. "Listen Red Velvet, I know I'm hot and everything but seriously stop staring. I mean who wouldn't want a feisty little ginger fawning all over them, thanks for the attention Carrot-Top but I have a girlfriend. Hashtag sorry not sorry." Jace said cockily. "Shut the fuck up Herondale. Nobody wants you unless the want an STD." Clary angrily snapped at Jace flipping him off. "Ouch. Little Red who lit the fuse to your tampon?" Jace said faking a wounded expression. "I'm sorry Jace. Just a little nerv…" I was cut off by Jace putting his finger over her lips "I get it China Doll, not everyone can handle all of this." He said gesturing to his torso. When I shot him a glare that could have put him six feet under, Jace laughed and said "Just kidding, okay. No need to look at me like you want to kill me Spring Grass." "You better be." I growled, my emerald eyes darkening. "Or else, I will break into your house at an ungodly hour, get a sharp kitchen knife, sneak up to your room, cut off your dick and stuff it up your nose." Jace shuddered "That's demented Doll Face. You should see someone if you're having thoughts like that." I snicker conspicuously. "Also I got some really unpleasant mental images from that." Jace said cringing.
Just then Mrs. Carstairs entered the class. "Good morning everyone." She said with a bright smile "Please take a seat so we can get started." Jace and I walked towards their seats which where next to each other in a very uncomfortable silence. "So class today we have a new student joining us. Her name is Clarissa Fairchild and she an award-winning artist. Clarissa please introduce yourself to the class." Mrs. Carstairs said smiling at Clary. I groan and stand up, dragging my chair back noisily. "Clare, I know you have feelings for me and you're jealous because I have a girlfriend but there is no need to deafen me but even if you are jealous." Jace said smirking at her. I scowl and make a cutting motion at the base of my neck. Then turning to face Mrs. Carstairs, Clary said "Mrs. Carstairs please its Clary and well class I'm Clarissa but call me Clary. I'm sixteen. I have two older siblings they both go here Sera and Jon. I like art, anime, rock music, cupcakes, poetry, comics and reading. My favorite writers are: Suzanne Collins, Veronica Roth, Jane Austen, Hemingway and William Shakespeare. I hate shopping, sleepovers, the color pink and people who don't know the difference between their comic book characters." "You sound like a very interesting person Clary, that we would all like to get to know but for now have a seat so I can give your first assignment for the term." I nod and sit back down.
Mrs. Carstairs began "So class as you already know in the fall term the Drama department puts on a play and this year they are doing Romeo and Juliet. So your assignment is going to be for you to take a seventy-two by sixty canvas and decorate it so it fits the theme of Romeo and Juliet and the best one will be displayed at the play and will be the picture for the flyer. The project is due on the thirtieth of October." A boy raised his hand and asked "Miss is this going to be an individual project or a group project." As he spoke I noticed he had a Spanish accent. It's not that I care or I like him or anything, it's just because our family spends a lot of time Majorca and I picked up on it. Leaning across I ask Jace "Who's that?" "Raphael Santiago. One of the mean populars. Besties with your sister and her friends." Nodding I lean back across. "The project is a group project and you will be working with the persons on your right and left." Mrs. Carstairs said. I look to my right and see a boy with black hair and blue eyes and on the left is Jace. The black haired boy looked kinda familiar, I mean I'm pretty sure Maia introduced him to me this morning. Black hair looked at me, winked and said "Well looks like we're partners ma cherie." And with that he took my hand, brought it to his mouth and gently pressed his lips against it. I was literally speechless for a moment and then I looked at black hair and said "Uh thanks. I'm Clary." "I know. I'm Will. William Herondale." "Ahh. That's it. Will." I thought then it hit me. "Herondale?" I questioned out loud. "Yup." Will said nodding his head. This threw me off and again for the second time in less than two minutes I was again rendered speechless. "Herondale?" I questioned "As in you're related to Jace?" "Yup." Jace cut in popping the p. "Oh Dios!" I exclaimed "Could this get any worse?"
Jace's POV
I laughed as I heard Clary's exclamation. "How many more Herondales are there just running around this school?" Clary asks us. "Four. Besides Jace and myself there's Ella and Cecily." Will answers. "By the Angel no." Clary exclaims. "Calm down. Ella and Cecily aren't like us." I reassure her. "Yeah they are absolute disgraces to the Herondale name." Will says shaking his head disappointedly. "Whatever." I heard Clary say sighing. "Let's get this over with." Wiggling my eyebrows and smirking, I say "Why can't handle all of this hotness. I mean you should feel lucky that you have the two Herondale men all to yourself." "Jace. Let the girl be." William said trying to contain a laugh. "Thanks Will. Now let's get started on this project." Clary said bossily. "Fine." I said pouting.
Time Break: 1 hour
"No. No. No. No. No. No. No!" Clary screams at Will for like the millionth time. "Romeo and Juliet does not contain guns, zombies, minions, wars, bombs, ninjas, clowns, demons, demon possessed dolls, vodka, parties and terrorists." "Clary. Calm down. Take deep breaths and just relax." I say trying to soothe her. "Oh my fucking God Jace. Don't tell me what the fuck to do. Okay. Just leave me the fuck alone." Clary snapped at me. Her reaction was one I didn't expect or well I actually kinda did because of her personality. "Ouch what's up with you?" Will asked. "Didn't you hear me say just leave me alone?" Clary sneered. "Dude I think you should give her some space." I whisper to Will. Just then a sharp shrill pierced through the air signaling the end of class. At the sound of the bell, Clary quickly grabbed all her stuff, shoved it into her bag and practically flew out of the room.
Time Break: Lunch
Unfortunately I didn't have any more classes with Clary for the set of classes before lunch. I had Geography with Rat-face, um I mean Simon and Maia, French with Isabelle, Sera and Sebastian and Biology again with Rat-face, Magnus, Alec and Izzy. That was a bummer because I really wanted to know what Clary's reasoning for her lash was out and because I actually was starting to like this chick. So at lunch I sat at the popular table with my friends, well one of the popular tables. Well let me explain, at our school there're two sets of populars: Your typical mean bullying populars and the kids who were popular because they are so nice and sweet to everyone. I alternate because Sera and some of my good friends are with the former and Will and Alec who are practically my brothers and my closest friends are with the latter. Today unfortunately, I was with Sera's group. I was chilling there, discussing game plays for our next football game, when some of my next concerts where going to be and eating a very delicious cheeseburger when I saw a very familiar redhead walking past our table. "Yo Clary." I hollered. She turned her head and looked at me. "What Jace?" she asked with a slight edge to her voice. "Wanna sit with us?" I asked treading on eggshells with her. She looked between us and Iz and the others and repeated this a few times. Eventually she shook her head and said "Nah. I'll pass. I'm going to sit where I'm actually welcome." With the last part she narrowed her beautiful emerald eyes and directed them at Sera, Seelie, Sebastian and Jon and stalked off.
Clary's POV
As I sat down at the table, I saw some unfamiliar faces. "Welcome Clary." Isabelle began in a dramatic voice, "To the side of the light. The justice bringers. The side of the nice populars. You are officially initiated. You are now one of us. You will now drink the blood of the nice populars who came before." She finished off handing me a golden goblet filled with a red liquid. "I don't remember signing up for a cult guys." I said, pushing the cup back at Isabelle. Maia looked at my horrified expression and mouthed from across the table "Don't worry. It's just Ocean Spray cranberry juice." "Halleluiah." I thought to myself taking back the goblet and delicately taking a sip. I rested down the cup on the table as everyone began to clap and whoop. Isabelle took one of my hands lifted it into air and screamed rather loudly "She's one of us now bitches!" "Uh thanks." I said removing my hand from hers. "Okay now that Isabelle is finished with her crazy ritual let's introduce you to everyone." Maia said saving me from Izzy. "Okay so there is Ella, Cecily, Julian, Emma, Henry, James, Gideon, Gabriel, Magnus, Alec, Simon and Lily." "Nice to meet you guys." I said. I was greeted with a chorus of heys and wassups.
"So Clary." Izzy began "See any boys that you wanna hook up with?" I was completely taken aback by her bluntness. "Isabelle Sophia Lightwood." Maia chastised "Don't put the girl on the spot like that and don't ask her questions like that. She's not used to us yet." "It's okay. No I don't see any boys I wanna hook up with Iz." I say cautiously. "Except your sister's boyfriend." My subconscious told me. "You sure because you and Jace looks like you guys have a spark spark, bang bang thing going on." Izzy pressed. "One. Ew no, Jace is my sister's boyfriend. Two. He has an ego the size of the galaxy. Three. Ewww. Just ew. And four. What the fuck is a spark spark, bang bang?" I say. "Spark spark, bang, bang is Iz's way of saying that you two have something going on." Said Maia. "All of you kids are crazy." I say holding back a laugh. "Aca-scuse me." Isabelle said "I am not CRAZY, I'm just creatively expressive with my speech." "You're right Izzy." A male voice said. "I am?" Isabelle asked. "Yeah you're not crazy. You are completely out of your God given mind." "Shut the fuck up Alec." Izzy snapped, shooting Alec a glare and flipping him off. We all began to laugh as one of them said sibling love at its best. After we calmed down we were eating and casually chatting when the cafeteria suddenly got quiet and Izzy abruptly stopped talking with a horrified expression on her face and said looking at something behind me "Don't you dare." "What are you tal…." I was cut off by something cold and sticky running down my head, unto my neck and down my clothes. I turned around to see Seelie, Sera and two other girls one blonde and one Asian who I didn't know holding empty soda cans. "That's what you get for not sitting with us." Seelie spat and they turned and walked off.
"Oh that's it. Those bitches pushed it this time. Those fucking skanks think they could mess with one of my girls. I'll reorganize their fucking faces so much not even plastic surgery could help them. I'll rip out their motherfucking hair and stab them with my shoe heels until they're fucking dead and laugh over their dead bodies and then laugh all my way to fucking jail. Like who the fuck those whores think they are. They are nothing but prostitutes who probably all have an STD and get knocked up before they're eighteen. I'm going to fucking kill them all." Isabelle ranted, getting up and she was about to walk over there when Alec walked up behind and grabbed her by the waist and held her back. Isabelle began to hit and kick Alec until I said realizing that that just happened "Iz leave it. They're not worth it." And with this I grabbed my bag and ran out the cafeteria.
Jace's POV
I could see that they were fuming that Clary turned the offer to sit with us. I stared wistfully at Clary having fun with Isabelle and they, wishing I could be there. But then I realized something was up when Sera, Kaelie, Seelie and Aline went to the lunch lady and came back with four sodas. "What are you girls doing with soda? You don't drink that." I enquired. Kaelie laughed evilly and said "We're going to teach Sera's bitch sister a lesson." "Aren't you going to get in trouble for that?" I asked. "Nah. Clary wouldn't tell. She's a wimp like that." Sera said. "Come on girls let's go." Seelie said and with that they strutted off towards Clary. I could only stare in horror as I watch the scene unfold in front me. Isabelle noticed them first and said something. Then Clary looked at Isabelle and said something but didn't finish as four cans of Coke got dumped over her head. The look on Clary's face was one of complete and of complete and utter horror. Then Seelie said something and they stalked back over to our table. Our table was in laughter when they came back and the girls were greeted with compliments and high fives. "That was fucking awesome! You guys showed that bitch!" Sebastian exclaimed. I got shook out of my thoughts when Sera came over and straddled my lap. "That was amazing, wasn't it?" Sera asked me. With my heart heavy, I fake a smile and say "Of course it was babe. You girls showed her." Then I pull her in for a kiss and over Sera's shoulder, I see Clary and she shakes her head at me and mouths sadly "I thought you were better than that Jace." And then she runs out of the lunch room. My gut wrenches as I think about the words she said and somehow those words hit me harder than anything I've been told before.

Izzy's POV
I know Clary told me to leave Sera and her minions alone but I'm not going to stand for those bitches and their bullshit. I'm sick of them and I'm going to do something about it. But right now I need to find Clary. (I'm giving you two different parts. One from after the incident and one from after school.)
Time Break - After School
I see Sera and the Plastics hanging around her car. Approaching them I yell "Seraphina Jesselyne Fairchild Morgenstern!" "What the fuck do you want?" She yells back at me. "I'm here to put you in your fucking place." I say fuming. I have an uncontrollable temper and I'm about to unleash it on Sera. "What you gonna do about it?" Sera taunts "Make me wear out of season clothes?" And everyone in the yard laughed. "No Seraphina. I'm not going to make you wear out of season clothes. I'm going to do this." I spit out, my voice laced with venom and with those words, I make a fist and send it through the air towards Sera's cheeks.
Well that's the end of our little preview. I hope you enjoyed it. I am open to suggestions about what should happen throughout the story. I may not use it or all of it but I will try so leave a review with your suggestion and your username so if I do use it I can give you a shoutout.
