Jace's POV
I walked towards my Math class cursing under my breath. It was my first day at the new school and I had already skipped a class. I walked into my class and looked around. Some of the girls pointed to seats beside them, but when I looked in the back I saw Clary sitting by herself drawing. I walked back towards her and sat in the seat next to her much to the other girls' dismay.
Clary looked up after a few minutes then looked back down saying, "Your sister was looking for you last class, and she told me to tell you to text her when you showed up to class. By the way you and I have every class together which brings me to ask why did you sign up for 'Art'?"
"I needed a art credit and it was either that or 'Culinary Arts' ,and I do not cook." I said, thanking the Lord I skipped 'Art' instead of an actual class you had to do work in.
"So, where were you last period?" Clary asked, looking up with a knowing glance.
"I had to help a teacher with something..." I said, not being able to come up with something better on the spot.
"Bull shit, Magnus saw you go into the janitor's office with Kaelie. Oh, and he told Izzy and she was not very happy." Clary said, laughing a beautiful laugh.
"Shit." I said, under my breath.
"That girl is never going to leave you alone now." Clary said, not laughing anymore, but I could still see the amusement in her eyes.
I shrugged my shoulders in response not saying anything. Clary and I went on like that for a few seconds before she looked up asking, "So, was she any good?" She said, referring to Kaelie.
I looked at her in surprise. "You really want to know?" I said, confused.
"Yep, Magnus and I can't find another reason you guys might like her, so Magnus has decided she must amazing in bed. Or in your case the closet." Clary said, looking at me and I laughed.
"So, was she good?" Clary asked, again. "Not enough to deal with the wrath of an angry Izzy." I said, with a resigned sigh thinking about the past lectures Izzy had given me after I had meaningless sex with girls.
Clary just shook her head in amusement, and went back to her work as the teacher, , came in.
As the teacher droned on about the importance of quadratic equations I took the time to think about things, and by things I mean Clary. It was hard not to think about Clary one reason was, because she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and the other was that she had the strangest moods. One second she would be icy and closed off and then the next she would be talkative and carefree then she would go back to being closed off before you even had time to blink. Hmm...maybe she was bipolar. Probably not, but it would be a fair assumption.
I thought back to lunch and what Magnus said. The words, "Do not ask about her past..." rang in my ears like bells. What happened in her past? What did he mean when he said she changed? What caused Clary to become so closed off?
All these questions swam around my head until I couldn't think straight. I looked up from my desk and saw Clary standing there with a blank expression. I smirked at her and asked, "Have you been standing their admiring my hotness?" Clary rolled her eyes and replied back in a sarcastic tone, "No, I am admiring the fact that the bell rang three minutes ago and you still haven't noticed." She said, gesturing to the almost empty room.
"Why did you wait for me?" I asked, standing up and throwing my bag over my shoulder and following Clary out of the room. "Alec asked me to show you to your classes, and to break your arm if you caused any trouble." Clary said, lifting her arms in a shrug. "So, my siblings have assigned you to be my keeper?" I asked, in a sarcastic tone and Clary nodded looking back at me with a smirk that challenged even mine.
"So, where are we going?" I asked, noticing that I couldn't find my map or my schedule.
"We are going to 'English', our last class, and then I am going to show you how to get to the football field and the locker rooms." Clary said, and I nodded.
We came into our English class and I noticed we were the last ones in, and that everyone seemed to be staring at us. A lot of girls were either staring at me or glaring jealously at Clary, and the guys seemed to be checking Clary out. Clary glared at them as she sat down, and they all quickly looked away and began to whisper instead.
"That's the hot new guy." Some girls whispered, while the guys decided to talk about Clary saying, "I heard this morning from Verlac that the new guy finally got Clary to go on a date." They said, with shock and jealousy. I couldn't help but laugh quietly as I listened to the everyday high-school gossip, and when I looked over at Clary I saw her smirking a little bit while rolling her eyes, as she copied notes from the board.
Time Skip(Jace, Alec, and Izzy going home after their practices)
Jace's POV
"So how was practice?" Izzy asked, Alec and I as we drove home from school.
"It was good, I guess." Alec said. "How was yours?" He asked, after a moment of silence.
"It was...okay besides the fact that most of the girls on the team are sluts. Oh, and we are having tryouts, because a girl broke her leg trying to stick a landing." Izzy said, with an annoyed sigh. At our last school she was the captain of the cheer team and I was the captain of the football team, so this was gonna take a bit of getting used to.
"You should ask Clary to try out." I said, thinking back to earlier and how flexible she was. Plus, I think she would look really good in a cheer-leading uniform.
"Why?" Izzy said, looking back at me suspiciously. "We have 'Gym' together, and she is super flexible." I said, still thinking.
"I know we all just met Clary, and out of all of us I've talked to her the least but I don't think Clary is the cheerleader type of girl." Alec said, glancing at me from the driver's seat.
"Yeah, maybe but it wouldn't hurt to ask. Plus, tryouts aren't for two weeks maybe we'll all be friends by then." Izzy said, looking hopeful.
"Anyway, since we were already talking about her, how did all of your classes with Clary go?" Alec said, looking over at me with a knowing look. I sighed, "It was strange. One moment she would be talkative and funny and the next she would be cold and closed off." I said, thinking back to all of her different moods today.
"I think you are just upset that Clary is the one girl who doesn't swoon at the sight of you." Izzy said, laughing and I glared.
"She loves me, she just doesn't want to admit it." I said, with a smirk even though I didn't believe that myself.
"Jace, you heard what Magnus said. I don't think trying to get into her pants is what he meant by, 'leave her alone'." Alec said, sharply.
"I am not trying to sleep with Clary!" I yelled, exasperated. I wouldn't be opposed to sleeping with her, exactly, but that doesn't mean I am trying to.
"Why? You sleep with almost every girl you talk to. Why is Clary suddenly different?" Izzy asked, with a half suspicious half knowing look. I looked at her straight in the face and said the only answer I had to offer her, "I don't know."
We all got out of the car, and Alec went into the kitchen to make dinner while Izzy went to the backyard to practice her cheer routine and I went upstairs to my room.
I plopped down onto my bed and stared at my bare room, before I situated myself so I was staring at the ceiling.
I sat there for maybe an hour, and just thought. I thought about everything from my old school to why the grass was green, before I finally settled on thinking about Clary.
I wanted to know her, really really know her. But, after what Magnus had said earlier, and how closed off Clary was that seemed impossible. Still I wasn't going to give up. I would get to know Clary even if it killed me. I refused to give up.
SO, HOW WAS IT? DID YOU LIKE IT, LOVE IT, HATE IT?
I HOPE YOU ALL AT LEAST LIKED IT, BUT IF YOU DIDN'T THEN WHATEVER.
R&R
BYE!
