Jace's POV
Wow that first day at a new school was awesome. Except for the girls that were swarming around me for the first half of the day. I made two new friends and Clary is definitely a keeper. During lunch she was kind but still had an attitude. I felt drawn to her the moment I saw her at her house. I don't know why. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Clary's POV
I got home around 3:45. Jonathan was sleeping on the couch and neither Mom nor Valentine were home so I went straight to my room. I plopped down on my bed and started my homework. Around 4:30 I finished and got up to get a snack from the kitchen.
When I walked into the living room Jonathan was awake. He looked at me with an intensity in his eyes, "Clary, we need to talk."
"Ok but first let me get a snack." He nodded and I went and got a lollipop from the kitchen cabinet.
I sat down on the couch next to him, "Ok what is it?"
"Really Clary? You really think that we can just forget what happened yesterday?"
"No I don't think we can but you were the one who brought it up so you speak first."
"Okay, I've liked for two years and yesterday you hint that you like me. All of a sudden the new guy from next door comes over and you're goggling at him like nothing ever happened between us. After that you shut me down all because of that guy."
I could tell how much he hurt, "I didn't only shut you down because of that guy."
"So you admit that you like that guy and he was part of the reason?"
"Yes I do because I'd rather be honest then comfort you with lies. The other reason I turned your offer down was because we both know we could never be together, we are brother and sister."
"So you're saying that you are disgusted by the fact that we are brother and sister?"
"Oh my gosh Jonathan! Stop making me look like the bad person in this situation." I put my hand on top of his, I felt him go tense but then relax. "I am not disgusted that we are brother and sister. I love you."
He looked at me for a moment, then scooted closer to me so that we were face to were so close if either of us moved an inch closer we'd be kissing. "Why do you have this effect on me Clary?"
"I don't know," I breathed out. "Well, if I'm gonna regret liking you, minus well do it big." And the next moment his lips were on mine. Instinctively I wrapped my arms around his neck, and his hand buried in my hair.
This wasn't my first kiss, my first kiss was with Simon when we were 13. It was a dare that was given to us at a party when we were playing truth or dare. But this was different, it was gentle at first as if Jonathan was hesitating.
Jonathan's POV
We were face to face and she looked so beautiful, "Well, if I'm gonna regret liking you minus well do it big." I leaned in and kissed her. I didn't know if she was going to push me away or not, I didn't want to hurt her so I held her gently. Once she wrapped her arms around my neck I mentally sighed in relief.
We parted and I stared into her eyes, "Was that your first kiss?"
"No. My first kiss was with Simon."
"Oh," I said lamely. I was sorta hoping it would be her first kiss but no one always gets what they want.
"Ummm… I gotta get ready," that snapped me out of my thoughts, "What for?"
"I made more friends today. We are all gonna go to Taki's for dinner."
"The guy from next door is going too huh?"
"Ummm, yeah him and his siblings plus Simon."
"Okay, then you should go get ready."
"You can come if you want, I'm sure they wouldn't mind." I thought about this offer for a moment, "Sure I'll go with you."
Clary smiled her beautiful smile, "Alright, its almost 5:00… So, we have an hour to get ready and then we leave." She walked off to her room, like nothing happened between us. Ugh, can't worry about that I need to get ready for this dinner, I can get to know these people.
Clary's POV
My heart was still racing from the kiss when I got to my room. That shouldn't have happened, now my feelings are back when I was just getting over him. And I invited him to dinner what was I thinking? Oh well, nothing I can do about it now.
I went to my closet to look for something to wear. White dress? Red dress? Blue dress? Or green dress? "Jonathan!"
He walked into my room in black jeans and white collared shirt holding a blue tie in his hand, "How are you dressed already?"
"How are you not?" He lifted his eyebrows in question, "I'm having a hard time choosing what to wear?"
"What are the choices?" He looked in my closet, "You have so many."
"I know, that's why it's such a hard decision. I have too many."
"Then what are your top choices?"
"The white one, red one, blue one, and the green one."
"Not the red one, it takes away from your hair. The blue one wouldn't look good on you, no offense."
"None taken. Ok so the white one or the green one?"
His eyes wandered between the two dresses, deciding which would be best. "The green one, it'll compliment your eyes."
"Ok thanks."
"Anytime," our eyes met and he lingered there a second but seemed to think better and left. Alright, the green dress. I put it on, it had spaghetti straps and stopped right above my knees. It was a light green and had a frilly bottom. I looked in the mirror, Jonathan was right, the dress complimented my eyes. I put on some small pearl earrings and let my hair down.
At 6:00 I went to the door to leave and I saw Jonathan standing there waiting. He looked at me and something lit in his eyes. His expression changed to a thinking one, then seemed to dismiss the thought, "You ready to go or are you going to stand there all night?"
"I'm coming. You're driving though."
"Fine with me."
The car ride was silent for the first three minutes but then I turned the radio on and we both started singing. Time passed fast and we arrived at Taki's at 6:15. Because I had reserved our table I checked us in and decided to wait for everyone else to get here.
Simon came five minutes later and at 6:25 I saw Isabelle walking toward us. She was wearing short dress that showed off all her curves. Both Simon and Jonathan were staring at her. When she got up to us she ignored the boys and pulled me into a bone crushing hug.
Behind her followed Alec with a t-shirt and black jeans. He shook hands with the boys and then seemed like he didn't know what to do with me. So, I hugged him and thanked him for coming, when I pulled away I saw Jace walking over. He was pretty much wearing the exact same thing as Jonathan except his tie was green.
He came over to me and stuck out his hand, "Thanks for organizing this dinner with us." Instead of shaking his hand I reached up and hugged him, "No problem. Anything for my new friends."
We pulled apart and I looked up at him, he was staring at me. Then he pulled away and went to say hello to Simon and Jonathan. I looked at my phone it read 6:35, "Okay let's go to our table or else they might not have a table for us."
We walked to the front and the waitress named Kaelie led us to our table.
I know it's a bit late but I made my cut. I was having a bit of a writers block, thank you for reading my story!
