Oh my god!
I can't believe that I am already at my tenth chapter! It is crazy that I even got so far and it's all because of you guys. Thank you so much. Now, on to the tenth chapter!

Clary POV:
" As amazing as this is we should probably get the coffee out of your hair and get to class. The bell is about to ring," Izzy said starting to stand up. As to prove her point the bell rang for the beginning of class. Great now I have coffee hair and I'm late.
" Oh yeah. Sorry about that," Jace said looking guilty.
" Don't worry. It wasn't your fault." Izzy grabbed some paper towels and started to get the coffee out of it. After ten minutes of it not coming out I just decided to stick my head under the sink. After my hair was soaked, but clean, I attempted to dry it. I looked in the mirror. my eyes were still a little red and puffy from crying and my hair was a wet curly mess. I rn my fingers through my hair and turned to leave. Izzy put her hand out to stop me.
" I am not letting you back to class with puffy eyes. Might as well make you look amazing." I turned to Jace.
" You should o, I don't want to make you more late." He shrugged.
" I don't care. Its not like my parents care anyways." He smiled at me as Izzy got out her makeup bag.
She added more concealer under my eyes since it mostly came off, then put on some waterproof mascara because, lets be honest, I look like a raccoon. I finally looked like a person again. We grabbed our stuff and headed to class. It turns out that Izzy, Jace, and I all have this class together.
Once we walked in all eyes went to us. I blushed and looked away. The teacher stopped talking and raised her eyebrows.
" and where were all of you?" Jace, of course, smirked before answering.
" Well, we had a problem and then we had to fix it. That's why we are late."
" That's not enough of an explanation Mr. Herondale. How about you Ms. Lightwood? Morgenstern?"
" Well, we were walking in the hallway when we saw a freshman on the ground books spilled around them. We, being the good people we are, stopped to help the person, and realized that the boy's ankle was hurt. So we brought him to the nurse. That is why we were late. Feel free to give us detention, but know that we were just helping a fellow student. I mean isn't that what you have taught us to do?" Izzy said innocently. Wow, she was good.
The teacher just mumbled about us getting to our seats. We quickly walked to the back of the room and sat in our seats. Some of the girls in Kaelie's group were hear and were throwing me glares. But, having Izzy with me helped since she would just glare back at them. I smiled. She really was a great friend.
Once the bell rang I shot out of my seat with Jace and Izzy flanking my sides as we entered the music room. I sat down in the middle row and Jace grabbed the seat next to me. Izzy raised her eyebrow but sat on the other side of me. The teacher was late so we had some extra time to talk. Jace leaned over to whisper in my ear.
" So, I was wondering if you would like to go to the school dance with me?" My mouth dropped open and I turned to look at him. He was smiling, no sign of lying in his eyes.
I smiled widely before answering," I would love to." His smile grew, but before he could say anything the teacher walked in.
" Sorry I'm late guys. Okay today we are doing performances based on feelings. so lets say you choose happy, sing a happy song. Or you choose sad, sing a sad song. Who would like to go first?" Izzy's hand shot up and she walked to the front of the class.
" My feeling is happy so I will be singing Oath by Cher Lloyd and Becky G." She looked at me and winked before singing. I even started tearing up when she was finished. She ran back and sat down and I hugged her tightly.
" That was so sweet!" She smiled at me before holding my hand up.
" Clary will go!" I glared at her before going up. I had an idea pop into my head as I had recently memorized the words to a love song.
" My feeling is love and I will be singing I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston." I had a small case of stage fright so I closed my eyes and gripped the microphone.
Share my life, take me for what I am
'Cause I'll never change all my colors for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you.
You see through right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Your love I'll remember forever
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing...
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me, no.
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you,
If I don't have you, oh, ooh, ooh.
Everybody clapped once I was finished and I sat back down. It might have been my imagination, but I swore that Jace was blushing. The class passed by with Jace also singing a love song, and he looked at me the entire song. And of course since he was looking at me I was blushing the entire time. Yup, that's me.
Then gym came. I got changed into the gym uniform. Thank god there was one or I would be absolutely terrified at what the girls would put on if they had a choice. Because I never saw how small the small was I ended up getting it. The shirt was very tight and the shorts stopped mid thigh and were also tight. I saw Iz standing with Jace in the corner and walked over to them.
When I came up Iz smiled. " Hey. We were just talking about homecoming. So you two are going together?" she questioned. I opened my mouth to respond, but the whistle blew.
" Ok kids. Today we are doing gymnastics. Now, boys, I understand if you don't want to do it. So you guys can just watch." The boys sat down on the bleachers as the coach said it. I turned to actually get a look at the coach. I smile instantly came to my face as I recognized him.
" Uncle Luke!" I screamed getting everyone else to stare at us.. I ran and hugged him tightly. When we separated he smiled at me.
" Hey Clare-bear! How are you doing? Oh and don't call me uncle. It makes me feel old." I laughed. Iz and Jace came up then.
" Hey Clare. How do you know Coach Garroway?" Jace asked me.
" He's my mom's best friend. He's basically like my dad." At that last sentence Luke smiled warmly at me.
" As much fun as this is, you guys still have to do gym. But hey, gymnastics is your thing Clare-bear." Jace smirked.
" Clare-bear?' I groaned as everyone else laughed. Me and Iz walked to the mats set up where the other girls were doing gymnastics. I don't know what they were doing, but it was not what gymnastics looked like. I rolled my eyes before doing a back handspring. I landed perfectly then did 5 front flips. I saw all of the other girls glaring jealously at me, except for Izzy.
One of the snotty barbies came up to me. " God Clary. Is there anything you can't do?" I would have taken it as a compliment, but she said it with venom.
" I can't do an ariel." She perked up and looked happy that I couldn't do something. " Actually..." I ran and did a perfect ariel and landed gracefully. " I can," I said with a smirk. She glared at me before walking away. Izzy came up laughing and gave me a high five.
" Ha! That was priceless!" The rest of the class we spent practicing some cheer routines and messing around. At the end of class we got changed back into our clothes. We walked to Izzy's car to see Jace, Alec, and Magnus waiting there. Magnus clapped his hands as he saw me.
" Ah! Biscuit how are you?" He asked excitedly. I laughed.
" I'm great Magnus. Why are you so happy?'
" Because! We're going shopping!" He said jumping up and down.
" But I hate shopping."
" It doesn't matter. Now that you have a date to homecoming you need a dress. Come on guys we don't have all day!" We all crammed into the car. Alec was driving, Magnus was in the passenger seat and Izzy, Jace, and I were in the back. Izzy reached forward, elbowing my face in the process, and turned on the radio.
My favorite song came on, Hey Mama, and Izzy and I sung horribly along to it. Laughing the entire time, until it came to the fast rap part. Since this was my favorite song I had some practice with memorizing the words, so when it came on and Izzy stopped singing and I started rapping everybody was surprised. Once I finished everybody clapped while I blushed. While Izzy sang to the next song and Alec and Magnus were talking to each other, Jace grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.
" That was amazing.' He kissed my cheek then looked out the window. I blushed heavily and looked down at our still intertwined hands. The car stopped when we got to the mall. Izzy and Magnus squealed and sprinted through the front doors. How Izzy did that in heels I will never know. Me, Jace, and Alec walked at a normal pace and once we entered we were attacked.
Izzy grabbed my hand," Ok, I'll take Clary and get her a dress and Magnus you have to get Jace and Alec a tux." After Magnus nodded she started dragging me towards the first store. I looked back and saw Jace looking at me he mouthed 'help me', but I just shrugged and followed Izzy.
After trying on over 13 different dresses on I snapped. " Iz! I can't do this! Okay! No dress is going to look good on-" I cut off as I noticed a dress hanging in the back corner of a rack. I walked over as Izzy sat down on one of the chairs outside of the dressing rooms. I grabbed the dress and ran into the dressing room. I put it on and looked in the mirror. I looked stunning.
The dress stopped a at mid-thigh and was a deep emerald that brought out the color of my eyes. There was a beaded bodice with small silver beads and the rest of the dress was tight fitted and brought out curves that even I didn't know I had. I stepped out of the dressing room and Izzy gasped.
" OMG! You look absolutely amazing!" She squealed them hugged me.
" Thanks Iz!" She smiled before it faded and she smirked.
" Jace is gonna loooove you in that dress!" I groaned. But I couldn't help but feel a little happy at the thought of Jace liking me in the dress.
I blushed before changing back into my clothes. I can't wait for this dance!
I really hope that you guys liked it! I made this one really long because my friend and I made a deal that I would update a really long chapter.
Make sure to review and let me know what you think!
Bye Bye Lovelies!
