Chapter 11
Jace POV
"Honey, are you sure you want to do this?" Maryse Lightwood asked me.
I nodded my head. "I'd do anything for her."

One month later...
Clary POV
"Did you see the new kid?"
"He's so dreamy!"
"I wonder if he has a girlfriend..."
Every girl in my class was gossiping about how gorgeous this new kid is. Well, every girl but me. I hadn't even known there was a new kid until the gossip began.
Soon, the bell rang, signaling the end of class. I walked near the teacher's desk, and was surprised to be stopped.
"Clary?" he said. "Would you mind tutoring a student after school? One of my regular science tutors quit at the last minute."
"Sure. Why not?"
He smiled. "Great. Here's the room number, but I'm not sure who the student is." He handed me a small post it note with a room number scribbled on.
I left the classroom only to be stopped by a certain boy.
"Clary."
"Sebastian."
"Wanna go out with me tonight?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Can you just think about it?"
I stopped walking as I had started to do while he asked me out. He wouldn't stop. For the past week, he would attempt to flirt with me, but always failed. It was getting annoying.
"If I say I'll think about it, will you leave?"
"Definitely," he responded, smiling coldly.
"Alright. I'll think about it," I said.
He suddenly grabbed my hand, and kissed each knuckle with his cold lips. "Until I hear your answer, my dear," he said.
I jerked my hand away. I turned around and quickly walked to the other end of the school. My next class wasn't anywhere near there, but I didn't care. Anywhere away from Sebastian was perfect.
As I turned a corner, I saw a flash of gold hair duck behind the wall. I must be seeing things. Obviously, Sebastian's creepiness was getting to me.
(•.•)(•.•)(•.•)
The day was finally over. Well, almost. I still had to tutor some kid.
I made my way to the room where my science teacher told me to go. I opened the door, and looked around. I stopped in my tracks.
There, sitting in a chair, was Jace. My heart was pounding in my chest; I'm pretty sure he could hear it.
Jace's amber eyes turned to meet mine, and he stopped and stared. His mouth was actually hanging open.
"What - what are you doing here?" I sputtered out.
"I came here to see you," he said softly. "And to talk."
I sat down in the chair next to him. "Well, we can talk after I tutor you. Okay?"
He smiled. "Okay."
"Alright. Let's start with magnets," I began. "Two opposites attract."
I felt a hand slide on my arm, sending chills through my body. I turned to see Jace gazing at me. I opened my mouth to say something, but I was cut off.
Jace's lips were on mine. I had to lean in a bit to be against his body because of the gap between our chairs, but I didn't mind. I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck, and before I knew it, Jace was lifting me up, so I was now sitting on the table. Our mouths never left each other. Jace's fingers skimmed my lower back where my shirt had ridden up, and I gasped from his touch. He smiled against my lips.
Soon, we broke away panting for air. Our foreheads were against each other, and my eyes were closed until Jace spoke.
"I'm sorry," he said.
I opened my eyes to give him a questioning look. "For what?"
He kissed my mouth once more. "For letting you go."
I placed my hand over his cheek. He put his hand over mine as he looked me in the eye. "I'm sorry for running off like that," I said.
He laughed. "Yeah. I was kind of wanting to tell you something that day, too."
"What is it?"
"I-"
Jace was cut off by a knocking on the door. I hopped down from the table, and broke away from Jace.
We both sat down in chairs, making sure there was a gap between us. Without waiting for an answer, the person knocking waltzed right into the room. And that person was Sebastian.
"Hey, Clary," he said flirtatiously. "Ready for that date?"
"Uhm. No," I said.
"You said you would think about it," he whined.
"I said I would think about it, not agree to it," I told him.
"Come on. We were going to have so much fun." Sebastian took a step forward toward me, which frightened me a little.
"Ooo, that does sound fun. Mind if I tag along?" Jace piped in. I turned to face him, but realized he was giving Sebastian a "death" look.
I turned in my chair to look at Sebastian. He had the same, but confused look on his face. "And who are you?"
I heard Jace stand up. Soon, a warm hand met my own and entwined our fingers together. "I'm Clary's boyfriend," he told Sebastian.
"Nice try. You just moved here. You two aren't dating," Sebastian said. "Right, Clary?"
"Actually, we are dating. We have been for a while now," I turned to Jace and smiled. He smiled back.
I heard Sebastian curse under his breath. "Whatever." He left the room, and shut the door behind him.
"What a creep," Jace said quietly.
Instead of commenting, I asked him a question. "How did you know I was a tutor today?"
Jace grinned at me. "I didn't. I guess it was fate."
A/N: AWWW.
