~Jaces POV~
"Jace?" Clary said apprehensively. "Are you okay?"
"No, Clary I'm not, what possessed you all to pull me off of him?" I asked irritated, spinning to look at everyone as they followed me down the hallway.
"Jace you were going to kill him, I don't know about you, but I'd really rather not be having this relationship between glass panels and telephones!" Clary hissed at me.
I sighed calming myself down, Clary was right, I know he deserved so much worse, but I really didn't need to end up in prison. Footsteps echoed down the hallway following after us. Turning, we caught sight of the principal making his way angrily toward our little posse. Groaning I walked to the lockers and just stopped walking, no sense in going any further, our punishment was inevitable.
"Mr. Herondale, Ms. Fray, Mr. Lightwood and Ms. Lightwood would you all please follow me." He stated curtly and continued walking down the hall, not bothering to make sure we were following.
"Peachy," was all I said as I walked down the corridor after him, I could make my way to the principal's office with my eyes closed. I heard the telltale pitter patter of feet falling into step behind me; I knew the rest had also started walking with me.
We all made our way silently down the halls and to the principal's office door as slow as we possibly could without risking more trouble. I had Clary's hand entwined with mine and gave it a squeeze for reassurance. Smiling I kissed the top of her head, I knew she was beating herself up inside, thinking that all of this was her fault, which in some ways it was, but no one made me hit Simon, or Alec or Izzy hit Kaelie. We all made our own choices, and we'd stick with them and take our consequences, I would not let Clary blame herself for this. Opening the door, we caught sight of Kaelie and the slimeball sitting in chairs against the far wall, as far away from us as they could get. Seeing Simon made me see red all over again, he sat in the chair nearly unconscious but still had the audacity to look smug though it was hard to tell around all the swelling and bruising.
"Ms. Penhallow, please call Mr. Lewis and ambulance I do believe he has suffered a broken jaw. Also, see to it that a paramedic see's to Ms. Whitewillow I think she's suffering a broken nose, possibly cheekbone." Mr. Starkweather asked his receptionist.
"Mr. Herondale, Ms. Fray if you'd please follow me, I'll start with the two of you." Mr. Starweather said retreating to his office chair.
"Okay, children would you like to tell me what happened exactly?" He asked eyeing us gently.
"You see Mr. Starkweather, I've had some trouble at home, and I was recently hospitalized, as you know. Well, a few students took it upon themselves to take pictures of me and my injuries and post them on my locker along with a few choice words that were truly demeaning and hurtful. I was hurt and furious over what they were saying and my friends who've been with me through all of this, and I acted irrationally, we allowed our anger to overcome us, and we acted upon it. Simon Lewis and Kaelie Whitewillow were the instigators in all of this, granted me reacted wrong, but what they did is unacceptable." Clary said sternly; she'd make a great lawyer one day.
"Be that as it may Ms. Fray all of your actions were unacceptable. Mr. Lewisis facing some serious hospital time and Ms. Whitewillows guardian are looking to press charges." Mr. Starkweather said sighing.
"Then I will assume full responsibility for all actions that took place in the corridor today, Allow everyone to be on their way and you and I can hash out the punishments together," I said approaching his desk and staring at him intently. Mr. Starkweather knew I wasn't messing around and that there would be a way to appease everyone involved.
"Jace, I'm sorry, but I can't do that this time. All of you are suspended for a week and will resume your regular schedules following said time; I will handle the parents in this matter, Ms. Fray I will contact the Lightwoods on your behalf considering the issues regarding your father. That is all, please inform your friends of what is happening and leave the school immediately." Starkweather said sounding tired, and ushering us from the room.
"Well? What's the damage?" Izzy asked as we approached them.
"Suspended for a week, and he'll be contacting the parents, in our case though we will be home to intercept the message and Mom will never know," I said smiling broadly as if I'd gotten away with murder.
My victory was short lived as the central office door swung up and Maryse made her way through the door. We were screwed, at least that's whatI thought, Maryse seemed like a hardass at the best of times, so my only assumption was that she was going to rip us a new one and ground us forever. She didn't do any of those things, she walked into the office signed us all out, and ushered us out the doors into the corridor.
"Jace, when we get home there are some people waiting for you," Maryse said and exited the building.
I was confused, who could be waiting for me at home unless of course, it could be the police, but I'm almost sure they'd come to the school for me if it were that serious. Clary, Izzy, Alec and I watched Maryse go, we all looked slightly confused, we were sure she'd yell or scream at us. Shaking our heads we all just decided to head home and handle things from there, Maryse would more than likely unleash hell on us then,
Twenty minutes later, we pulled up in front of the house and piled out of the car. Looking around I noticed there was another vehicle besides our normal cars parked in the driveway. A beautiful 2017 Ferrari 488 sat in the driveway all its glory, cherry red with bright silver rims dark black tinted windows, it was sleek and sporty, this car was fully loaded, it had to cost over three hundred thousand dollars, Seeing this car only made me more curious, who would be here that had this kind of money to waste on a car? Turning around I noticed I wasn't the only one curious about the car or the people inside, for some reason I felt suddenly nervous, it feels like my life is about to change.
