AN: Oh my gosh! I did drop off the face of the earth for a bit, didn't I? Well, I won't bore you with excuses for why I haven't updated, but I think my reason is a pretty good one! Enjoy the story! And please don't kill me for what I'm going to do in the next couple chapters! ;)

Yesterday was hectic, even though all everyone did was unpack. It started with Izzy kicking the boys out of our room, and then she started to unpack all her stuff. I kept my stuff in the bags, but I did unzip them to see what was inside. I was pretty much right on what was in all the bags, but there's no way I could have guessed what was in the suitcase I brought on the plane with me. The duffel bag was filled with shorts, pants, and tops, the next bag was filled with shoes, the third bad was filed with dresses and skirts, the fourth bag was empty, and the fifth...

"Izzy," I stare at my opened bag and look at Izzy incredulously, "what the hell? Do you actually expect me to wear this?" This bag was filled with makeup. "Of course! That's why it's says 'Clary' on it," Izzy states matter-of-factly.

I don't wear makeup. What is she thinking? I voice this thought to her and she just scoffs. "Clary, honey, this is Europe! You are going to be wearing makeup!"

"Uggh," I groan and lay back on the bed. Izzy laughs suddenly. "What?" I sit up and look at her with one eyebrow raised. "There's only one bed per room right?" Izzy asks.

"Yeah, why?"

She starts laughing really hard and then ends up on the floor. "Th-the boys have to-to share a bed!" she gasps out and then I start laughing with her. All of a sudden, the door bursts open and in comes Jace, carrying two suitcases. He puts them down and then starts to grab my bags. When he grabs the last bag, Simon comes in the room. "What's going on Simon?" I hear Izzy ask him. I don't hear his reply because I run out the door and after Jace.

"What are you doing, Jace? What's happening?" I say as I stop him. He smirks and then says, "You and Simon are switching rooms."

~.o.O.o.~

After I got comfortable in my new room that I shared with Jace, which is bigger than my old room that I shared with Izzy, we all head out to a small café for a late breakfast. It looks like a dive on the outside but inside the café, it looks very fancy and romantic. There are booths adorning the walls and 5 or 6 tables in the middle. The kitchen is in the back, with a copper table top covering the bar. The décor inside is gold and copper. "Wow," I say in amazement. Jace squeezes my hand as I say this and throws an arm around my shoulder to pull me close. "Will we have enough money for this place?" I can't help it; I have to ask because I know that Izzy already spent a lot while shopping yesterday.

"We'll be fine, Clary," Jace says and then pulls me to a booth in the corner. Izzy and Simon do the same in the opposite corner. We grab the menu sitting on the table and look at our choices. 'Taki's' the menu reads. "I'm thinking of getting the coconut pancakes. What about you?" Jace elbows me in the side gently and I look up at him. I didn't realize how closely we were sitting until this moment. I look at his eyes and notice how they are a molten gold. I don't get to respond, because we are interrupted by the waitress. "Bonjour-" she cuts off and I look up at her. No way…Kaelie Whitewillow. "Jacey-poo," she squeaks and looks lovingly at Jace, "I didn't know you were in France for the summer too! After my shift, want to go hang out a bit?" her nasally voice couldn't be any more annoying.

Jace wraps his arm around my shoulder and for the first time since she got to our table, she looks at me. "I can't Kaelie," Jace says while pulling me tighter into him, "I have a girlfriend, who I love-"

"And you're cheating on her with Clary?" Kaelie cuts him off and glares at me.

Jace continues on like she wasn't talking and looks at me lovingly, "and her name is Clary."

"Squeakers!" I hear this word come from Kaelie and then she starts laughing. "That's a good one Jace! Like you would ever date her!"

"I would, and just to prove it to you…" he trails off and pulls me into a kiss. I then hear her gasp and run off. It's not hard to hear her run off because she has heels on. When we part for air, we see that Izzy is no longer across the café with Simon; she is right next to us. "Nice one! I wish I was here to see her face throughout the entire thing though. Damn it, why didn't you tell me?!" I laugh at Izzy's expression. "Well, I better get back to Simon. See ya!" and with that, she gets out of her seat and goes back to Simon.

"Bonjour, I am Ferdinand, I will be your server today. What can I get you two for breakfast?" Ferdinand says.

"If you wouldn't mind me asking Ferdinand, what happened to Kaelie?" I inquire.

"Ahh," Ferdinand sighs, "Miss Kaelie had to take an early lunch break. She was hysterical, so the manager sent her home."

"Thank you, Ferdinand," I say with a smile. "For breakfast, we will both have the coconut pancakes," Jace says and then Ferdinand leaves for the kitchen to place our order. A few seconds later, Kaelie walks by our table and glares at me. As she walks out the door of the café, she stops dead in her tracks and smirks an evil smirk. What is she planning?
