Just remembered I havent put a disclaimer anywhere, so I will from now on.
I don't own the Mortal Instruments. That belongs to the fabulous Cassie Clare. I only own the plot and, other things...
I do not own the 'coffee cart scene' Its from a TV show. But I liked it so I shall use it! (TV show is The O.C)
I also don't own And I will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. I mean, I listen to it, though, and I sing to it (As we all do)
Now, on forth with the story!
...
Jace popped up behind the window and grinned at Clary.
She jumped out of bed and opened the window.
'What the hell are you doing? Its midnight!' Clary said, rubbing her eyes.
'Well I had a feeling you couldn't sleep as well, since you've been texting me for two hours, so I came here to ask you on a very romantic date'
'Now?' Clary asked, slightly confused.
Jace held up two pairs of ice skates. 'Yes now'
She rolled her eyes but climbed out the window.
...
Jace swung Clary's hand back and forth. 'Can you actually ice skate?' She asked.
Jace thought about this. 'Er... No. But it shouldnt be too hard, right?'
Clary rolled her eyes as sh thought back to 5th grade when Simon took her ice skating and he broke his arm.
'Yeah. It's not to hard' She lied, looking forward to watching him fall over.
As they reached the campus skating rink (I know right, pretty cool (and yes, I did research and apparently some boarding schools have cool stuff like this)), Jace sat down and started lacing up his boots.
When he finished, he shuffled towards the entrance to the rink, and pushed the door open.
He took little steps, wobbling on the thin blade.
Suddenly, Clary whizzed past him. She silently thanked those messy ice skating trips with Simon.
She glided around the ice, throwing in some simple spins.
Jace watched in awe. 'Show off.' He called. 'I can do that'
Clary skidded to a stop, and gave Jace a challenging glare.
'Go ahead, Ice Princess'
Jace pushed off from the wall, and tried to duplicate Clary's flawless movements, but instead, wobbled halfway across the rink, and fell flat on his face, all Shadowhunter grace gone.
Clary giggled and skated over to help him up.
'You told me this was easy' He said, sitting up and crossing his arms over his chest.
'I may have lied, slightly' She said, and helped him up. 'Here, let me show you how to actually skate'
After Clary had taught him the basics, Jace was floating over the ice, flapping his arms and singing And I will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.
'AND I, WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU'
Clary covered her ears to try to block out the out of tune screeching, but she was laughing anyway.
'Jace!' She called, to which he spun around to face her, an innocent look on his face.
'We arent suppose to be here, remember? Dont sing too loudly...On second thought, don't sing at all.'
Jace pouted, and skated towards her. He grabbed her hand and spun her around.
She smiled up at him. 'Come on, We better go now' She kissed his cheek, and dragged him out of the rink.
...
Alec looked up from the pile of blankets he was wrapped in, his hair sticking up everywhere.
'Who are you talking to?' He asked Magnus, who was speaking quietly into his phone.
Magnus looked up, startled. 'I gotta go. I'll ring you back later.' Alec gave him a confused look 'Who was that?'
Magnus looked alarmed that he had to answer . 'Just my dad' Alec nodded, understanding, then back tracked. 'Your dads a demon'
'Um, yeah.. I meant I was talking to... your dad! Yeah!' Magnus looked worried.
'You were talking to my dad? As in my father? Robert Lightwood? You have morning chats with my dad?' Alec didn't believe Magnus.
'Yeah we talk all the time, me and...Rob" Magnus forced a smile. 'I gotta go. Dont wanna be late for...class' He kissed Alecs forehead, and made his way towards the door.
'Magnus, it's a sunday' Magnus didn't turn to look at Alec. 'Ah, well, you know. Sunday school.' He grabbed his jacket off the coat rack and left, leaving behind a very confused Alec.
...
Magnus dialled the number on his phone as he walked down the hallway of the boys dorms, looking behind him to see if Alec was following him.
'Magnus?' A voice said from one end of the phone.
'Yeah, its me' He said, looking around him.
'I'm already at the meeting place. Your late'
'I know, I'm sorry, I had to make sure he wasnt following. Be there in 5'
Magnus hung up the phone, pulled his coat tight around him, and set off out of campus.
...
'All I'm saying, is that Mario is just a plumber, and Peach is a princess!' Simon tapped his fingers on the coffee cart, having finished his rant.
'Lewis, calm down. You are complaining about Super Mario characters.' Clary laughed, using his undercover name.
Simon sighed, as Clary handed him his coffee cup. He picked up a packet of sugar and tipped it in.
As they walked away from the cart, Isabelle suddenly appeared. 'Hey Adelle, Lewis! This is Joe' She said, introducing the tall, blonde haired guy on her left, who nodded.
'Um, Hi Joe?' Clary said. Simon just waved, slightly dazed.
'Look, I have to go, babe. I'll see you later.' Joe kissed Isabelle on the cheek, and left suddenly.
Clary gave Isabelle a questioning look, and Isabelle winked. Clary knew what she was doing, and it seemed to be working.
'Babe?' Simon questioned, gritting his teeth. Isabelle nodded. 'We are dating! Isnt it exciting?'
Simon finally cracked. 'No! It isn't exciting' He looked around, and saw what he was looking for.
He jumped on a park bench, and then the counter of the coffee cart. Isabelle and Clary both looked shocked.
'Sophia Isabelle Lightwood. I am in love with you' He picked up the rose out of the vase on the counter. 'Will you be my girlfriend?'
Clary looked at Isabelle, who looked completely dumbfounded. She then looked at Simon, who had, successfully, made a scene, but his eyes were only on Isabelle.
Isabelle broke into a grin. 'Yes!' She said. Simon jumped down from the coffee cart and gave her the rose. She threw her arms around him and the crowd cheered.
'Beautiful, isn't it?' Joe said, who was standing beside Clary. She fished 20 dollars out of her purse. 'Thanks' She said. Joe smiled and walked off.
...
'I still can't believe you paid an actor!' Jace said, sitting his Geography book on the desk.
Clary giggled. 'Its so sweet, isn't it?' Jace rolled his eyes, but smiled at Clary.
'Why is he even here?' Charlotte asked. 'I thought this was a girls night type of thing.'
'Hey, I would make a fantastic girl' Jace said defensively.
Isabelle rolled her eyes. 'Yeah, I remember you trying to walk in mums high heels when you were 10'
Jace grinned. 'I rocked those stilettos.'
Charlotte glared at Jace.
He held his hands up. 'Fine, ive got the hint. I'll go' He gave Clary a quick kiss and left.
'Why dont you like Chris?' Isabelle asked causally.
'Sorry, I'm just in a bad mood. My friends are having heaps of fun in their dorm and Im not even there anymore. No offence.'
'None taken' Clary said, opening a packet of gummy bears and popping a few in her mouth.
'Im gonna go over there and hang out. Dont wait up.' She snatched her phone up off the bench and left.
'She isnt very nice, is she?' Clary said, passing the gummy bears to Isabelle.
'She barely hangs out here anyways, She is only here when she sleeps. I don't see the problem.'
Isabelle threw a gummy bear in the air and caught it in her mouth.
...
Jace flung himself dramatically into an armchair. 'They said I wasnt allowed at girls night.' He sniffed.
Simon, who was reading comic books on the top bunk, didn't even bother replying.
Alec came out of the bathroom and started going through Magnus desk draws.
'What are you doing?' Jace asked, forgetting about being dramatic.
'Yeah, what are you doing?' Magnus asked. No one had heard him come in.
'Oh...Uh.. I was looking for a pen.' Magnus walked over to Alec's own desk, grabbed a pen, and threw it at Alec.
'Ooops' Alec said sheepishly 'I'll go do my homework now'
Magnus smiled. 'Good idea.'
