It had been been a week since I'd told Jace. And since then, he`d been acting slightly more protectively over me, giving death glares to any boy who came near me. I could see Jon looking suspiciously at this, but since Jace punched some creepy senior who started trying to flirt with me, he'd stopped caring as much.
It was lunch time now, over the course of a week, I`d already grown close to most of Jon's friends, who were a mix of both juniors and seniors. Helen, Izzy and I were the juniors whilst Jon, Jace, Alec, Magnus, Alec, Seelie and Kaelie were the seniors. I`d grown particularly close with both Magnus and Izzy.
Over the week though, I'd gotten I bit of a vibe that some of the people were mainly here because of their crushes. It was kinda obvious with Magnus and Alec. With the way Alec kept blushing whenever Magnus started talking to him and how Magnus went out of his way to talk to him. But Helen and Aline took a longer time for me to notice. They were more subtle about it. I wondered whether they were all oblivious to the fact that they liked each other.
The bell rang soon. Magnus towed me away to the art room. I sat down next to him as usual. For the first 10 minutes, He gossiped to me about the people on our table, well mainly about Jon. Though he said nothing negative to me about anyone. Even the ones who he clearly didn`t like *cough cough* Seelie an Kaelie. then he took me by surprise.
"So Clary, what was it like for you in your old school?"
"Um, well at my old school, I only had 2 real friends, the rest were self absorbed cheerleaders." I started "I was on the cheerleading team because I was the lightest in the year who wasn`t scared of heights."
"Did you have a boyfriend there?" Crap, again with the prying questions.
"Why, did Jon want to know."
"No." He told me honestly.
"Well I`d rather not talk about it. What about you? Have you got one?" I questioned him back. he blushed slightly at that.
"No. I`m not interested in anyone like that."
"Not anyone?"
"Nope." He lied.
I decided to push myself further." Even Alec?" He stopped to look at me. "Because just in case you`re interested, I think he likes you too."
He looked up from his art work, his face the more serious than I've ever seen. "Do you really think so?"
"Yeah, you and Alec The sooner you guys go out the better."
"Ill ask him only if you tell me what's going on between you and Jace."
"Urgh, nothing, why are you asking?"
"Because I've never seen him act so protective over anyone like that before." he answered
