I haven't uploaded in quite a while and for that I'm sorry! I guess I've just been busy... So to make up for it, you're going to get two chapters today woop woop. I will post this one now and then another one later tonight and I'm going to sit here and just keep writing chapters until I 'collapse' with tiredness (see what I did there? No... Okay). I've already written down the main points that are going to go into each chapter up to chapter 22 so stay tuned ;)

Chapter 7
I was correct; it was a long day... Lana and Chey found me and Jace highly amusing but drop dead adorable... They even decided they 'shipped' us and we are now officially called 'Clace' to them. I found this annoying but it amused Jace who was listening to every word they were saying. Even though he was sat at the other side of the table in the canteen, I could still see his stupid smirk on his face which resulted at me throwing a chip at him and the 10 people sat at our table looked at us in amusement. After a good 10 minutes of silence, me blushing the whole time Magnus Bane, a very openly sparkly gay man who somewhat resembled a glittery Sonic the Hedgehog and who also happened to be my bestest friend looked at me pleasantly and finally spoke up and broke the silence and took me out of my thoughts.
"Well this definitely a new development. Why was I not previously awake of this Firefly?" He faked hurt but was grinning uncontrollably.
"Or me!" A small voice perked up, the voice belonged to Alec Lightwood. Brother to Isabelle and Jace and Boyfriend to Magnus Bane. I liked Alec a lot; he was always polite to me while also teasing me a little bit like we were good friends, he was normal and I liked normal.
"We will have word missy" Izzy shot at me in a venomous glare. Even though Izzy couldn't hurt a fly she was pissing scary. I involuntary swallowed the lump forming in my throat and quickly nodded.
"AW LEAVE POOR CLACE ALONE, THEY'RE ADORABLE" shouted Chey and Lana shouted together
"CLACE!?" everyone else shouted simultaneously and then fell about laughing. I just groaned and hit my head against the table; this only made everyone else laugh even more which resulted in my cheeks matching my hair. As I noticed everyone in the canteen had stopped what they were doing and started chanting "CLACE CLACE CLACE CLACE" I stole a glance to see if he was dying with embarrassment as much as me, but the bastard was grinning at me. Someone obviously loved the attention.
As the day progressed rumours started flying around about me and Jace. Some were cute like "we are in love but won't admit it" and others are darn right scary like "we're having an arranged marriage because I'm pregnant" and others just hurt like "It must have been a dare because why else would he date me". I know I was popular but it didn't mean I was pretty or that people liked me, I mean I still didn't have a date to the dance and it was tomorrow. I guess I was three-wheeling with Simon and Izzy but it still hurt that no one thought I was good enough or pretty enough for Jace. He must have noticed my hurt because as he walked me to our final lesson which was Maths he bent down towards my ear and whispered
"Don't worry Clare, you're beautiful and they're all jealous because they can't get anywhere near your beauty even when they try and you don't" I blushed... hard.
"Especially when you do that cute blush of yours". I blushed even harder.
"Don't say things you don't mean I replied simply with a shrug of my shoulders like him calling me beautiful didn't mean anything, like I heard it every day (I didn't but that's not the point). I heard him sigh and place his hand on my chin stopping us. I raised my eyebrows at him because I was incapable of raising just the one but I still refused to look at him so he wouldn't see the emotion in my eyes.
"Clare look at me." I looked at him through my eyelashes only to see him smile- his real smile not the signature smirk.
"No Clary, I mean look at me" he laughed while tipping my head up so I faced him (well his chest) but I looked up at this face and into the memorizing golden eyes which I noticed had flecks of brown in them.
"I mean every single word, okay; I'd never lie to you." I know he was being nice but his words irritated me.
"So why are we lying to everyone else?" He looked slighting taken back by my question for a moment he hesitated before answering "lying about what?"
"That we've known each other since birth". I saw his shoulders physically relax, what had he thought I was going to say?
"I don't know, it's just easier this way." He saw the look of hurt spread across my face and quickly continued. "I mean Clare, they already ship us and we've only been talking like normal for a couple of days image what they would be like if they knew we'd seen each other naked, had a million sleepovers in the same bed or even the fact we were each other's first kiss, they'd probably try to marry us" He finished with his smirk. I had to agree he had a point as I let his words sink down I-
"Wait what. I was your first kiss?"
"Yeah" I noticed his cheeks turning a slight pink.
"Well Jace, I am honoured" I said taking a little bow and I saw his goofy smile. He opened his mouth to say something but the final bell signalled us to lessons were starting so I took off before he could say anything. As I walked away I thought I heard him mutter "Not as honoured as me Clarrisa. Not as honoured as me." But I told myself it was my imagination.
The day went pretty quickly and I made my way to Jace's car in hope of a lift when I heard someone shout my name from across the car park and inwardly cringed. I turned and saw Isabelle quickly walking towards me like a pit bull... oh shit
"CLARISSA ADELE FRAY, WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!"
"Erm, Home?"
"No missy, you are getting in my car right now and we are going shopping! Tomorrow's the big dance and you haven't even got a dress yet!"
"I don't think I'm going Iz, I mean I don't even have a date!"
"Oh but you will!" She looked at me excitedly.
"What?" I asked in disbelief. "Who?"
"Patience grasshopper was all she said and pulled me into her car without another word. Izzy's shopping sprees were... intense.
After hours and hours of walking around looking at dresses, I finally arrived home (well the Lightwoods) and collapsed on to the bed with a blanket of bags surrounding me. Izzy dragged me into practically every single shop in the Mall... which was about 89 shops in total. I must have tried on a thousand dresses but finally Izzy found one she liked. It was black and hit mid thigh, just a little past my bum. The bottom had a thin lace right around the bottom and the sleeves came down to my elbow were also lace. The dress hugged my body perfectly and gave the illusion of more curves. I had them but I never let them stick out this much. It contrasted my hair beautifully and made my eyes shone. Lastly she made me get a red clutch bag and some 7 inch killer shoes (black of course). Izzy had decided she was going to give me a complete makeover tomorrow in order to impress my date, whoever they were. For once I was that excited I forgot all my problems and sat looking out my window at the world with a massive grin on my face.
Mystery Girl POV
I woke up from my daze, feeling refreshed but I couldn't remember why then I looked down at the blonde god that lay next to me. He was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. His body was bronze and toned. His six pack and V-lines doing wonders to my mind. His body just seems to compliment his facial features, from his platinum blonde hair which he swears is real to his bright green eyes to this slight freckles on his nose. He was perfect and he was MINE. I gave him a slight kiss and he stirred in his sleep, I smiled sweetly considering myself lucky I got such a great man.
