Clary's POV

I woke up huddled in one of Izzy's chairs. When I checked the clock it said 7:08 am. By the Angel! Why do I have to wake up so early? School hasn't started yet.

I know that neither Maia or Isabelle will be awake for a while so I decide to get myself some breakfast. When I get to the kitchen I notice that Jace is cooking something at the stove, without a shirt on.

I silently walk over to him and put my hands on his back. I slide them around to his stomach so I'm hugging him from behind.

"So this is what you like to do in your free time? Cook shirtless?" Jace turns around to face me.

"Only when I think everyone is gone or asleep, obviously this time I was wrong." Jace smiles down at me as he picks me up and sets me on the counter.

Jace kisses me lightly on the lips before returning to whatever it is he's making. I bite my lip as I watch Jace cook. "You know I could get used to this view." He laughs and then turns to me again.

He cups my face in his hands and kisses me. "Good." He smiles before kissing me again, it only lasts a second so I pout when he pulls away. "Oh no, not the puppy dog eyes. You know I can't resist those, it's why I let you drive my car."

I roll my eyes at him. "And I returned it in prime condition." I say with sass.

Jace laughs and Isabelle walks into the kitchen. "God you guys are loud." Isabelle says after a yawn. "Oh my- Jace put on a shirt." Jace rolls his eyes and walks out of the kitchen.

"So is Maia still sleeping?" I get off the counter.

Izzy nods and sits down at the table, I walk over to join her. "You now she actually seems pretty nice and it seems like she doesn't really like Simon anymore." Iz says with a big smile.

I smile back at her weakly, thinking about Maia's facial expression when Izzy told her they were dating. "Yeah, so do you now when we're supposed to be getting our schedules? School starts in a few days." I decide to change the subject

"What day is it? Cause I think we were supposed to get them on the 26th."

"It is the 26th." Isabelle looks at me questioningly and then looks at her phone.

"So it is. They're probably in the mail then." Iz says cheerfully and then runs outside. I follow her and quickly head over to the mailbox in front of my house. When I get back to Izzy I just meet her inside. She's holding two pieces of paper: her schedule and Jace's. I have mine and Simon's.

"I'm going to get Maia up." I tell Iz before going to her room. Maia is still laying on the floor, asleep. I decide to wake her up nicely and just shake her until she opens her eyes. "Maia get up, schedules are here and we're gonna look at them. You should go home and get yours." She sits up and rubs her eyes.

"What?" I laugh and then grab her arm and pull her up.

"Just c'mon." I drag Maia out of Isabelle's room and into the living room where Isabelle and Jace are. "Get Simon over here. I'm gonna go with Maia to get her schedule." Isabelle nods.

Maia and I get into Maia's car since it was still parked outside. "Now I don't get why we didn't just take my car last night." Maia says as she starts to drive.

"You saw Jace's car. I mean how could we just pass up that opportunity?" We both laugh. After a minute I decide to ask Maia about Simon. "So, you excited to see Simon again?" After a moment of hesitation she nods.

"Yeah it's been a while and I've been meaning to ask, how come Simon wasn't with you guys the night I ran into you, Jace, Isabelle and those two other guys?"

"Alec and Magnus." I correct her trying to think of what to say. "And Simon was there, he had walked away like the moment you showed." That's not too bad of a lie is it?

"Oh ok." I open my mouth to ask Maia more about Simon but decide against it and we sit in silence for the next minute before we get to Maia's house.

I walk back into the Lightwood's house with Maia behind me. Isabelle is sitting on Simon's lap in a chair and I mentally wince once Maia sees. She looks sad for a split second before smiling and greeting Simon.

"Hey Si!" Simon turns to her surprised and Isabelle gets up so Simon can stand.

"Maia, I didn't expect to see you here." He glanced back at Isabelle who just smiled. "It's so good to see you." He gives her a hug and I sit down next to Jace on the couch.

"Tell me the truth." Jace whispers in my ear startling me. "Maia still likes him doesn't she?"

I purse my lips together and nod to Jace. "How'd you know?"

Jace shrugs as Simon, Izzy and Maia sit down. "I'm good at guessing."

I open up my schedule and I'm shocked by what it says. "What's wrong Clary?" Simon asks.

"Nothing, it's just," I look up at my friends. "Science, English, history, lunch, math, gym and... art." I read off my schedule to them. "I didn't think it'd be available, the way Jon was acting when he tried to tell me..." I take out my phone, figuring this is a mistake, and text Jon.

Clary,
Was art cut?

After a minute Jon replies.

Jon,
I tried to tell you before, but I was cut off. Clare, mom raised enough money to save the art program.

My eyes widen even more. "The art program wasn't cut."

"Clary that's great!" Simon says.

"Yeah that's awesome!" Izzy adds.

"Yeah it is. I can't believe it." I look back at my schedule and then around at everyone. "So what's everybody else's schedule?"

Jace takes my schedule from me. "Jace you do realize that we can't have classes together? You're a senior and I'm a junior."

"Yes I'm fully aware of that, but we can still have art and gym together." He hands my schedule back to me.

"I didn't think you'd be taking art again, it's just not your thing."

"Well I would say anything to be around you, but we don't have art together." I look at his and sigh.

"Oh, at least there's lunch." I smile and he laughs. "Iz what's your schedule?"

She picks her head up off of Simon's shoulder and looks down at her schedule. "Science, history, math, lunch, English, gym and music. I alternate between art an music."

"Well at least we have science, gym and lunch. Simon?" Simon looks over Isabelle's head at the piece of paper in his hands.

"I've got math, English, science, lunch, history, gym and music." Simon looks up at me. "Sorry Clare, Izzy made me take music and it's a good thing too since we have no other classes together." Simon kisses Izzy on the top of her head.

"Well Maia?" I ask her and she looks at her schedule for a minute. "Wow." She says under her breath before answering. "Math, English, science, lunch, history, gym and art."

"So you and Simon have almost the exact same schedule." Jace says looking between the two of them with a smirk on his face. "Well that's fantastic." I slap him on the chest and give him the Shut it look.

Izzy has a strained look on her face as she talks, like she has to fight to keep the smile on her face. "Yeah, now at least you have Simon to show you around." I look at Izzy and she mouths Every class is too much. I nod a little bit and turn to Maia.

"Well aside from that, at least now I have somebody in my art class." Maia smiles at me and I can tell she knows Isabelle is highly uncomfortable with this, I mean how could you not?

The first day of school. Technically this is my first proper first day at Alicante High.

"Simon hurry up!" I'm eating a piece of toast and waiting for Simon to get ready when my mom comes into the kitchen.

"Now why does this seem so familiar?" I laugh as Simon walks downstairs.

"Because Clary was rushing me and eating toast when it was our very first day to Alicante." Simon sits down on the table and I stick my tongue at him, he sticks his back at me.

"Yeah well that's because for some reason on the first day of school you're always slow." I grab my bag and head towards the door. "Bye mom, love you!"

"Bye Jocelyn!" Simon yells as he runs towards me.

Jocelyn laughs and waves at us. "It's like deja vu."

Simon and I walk down to the corner where the bus stop is and I notice we're both looking at the Lightwood's house the whole time. When I see Simon doing it too I laugh and he just looks at me questioningly. I look down the street and see the bus pulling up. "Bus is here." Simon turns back towards me and we both get on.

Once Simon and I get a text from Maia.

Maia,
What time does school start?

Clary,
About 7:15. Why?

Maia,
I'm close enough to walk to school and I didn't want to be late or too early.

I'm about to reply when someone kisses me on the cheek. I turn around to see Jace and Isabelle sit in the seats behind Simon and me.

"Why are you guys always late to the bus?" Jace just shrugs and pushes a strand of my hair behind my ear making me blush.

"Usually Alec would get us here earlier, but he's in college." I take one of Jace's hands in my own and trace the lines on his palm.

"Speaking of which, you ok? I know you miss your brother." I ask softly, trying not to make him angry or upset.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll get to see him again soon." I look at Jace sadly, I wish he would tell me how he actually feels.

When we get to school Jace goes off to find his locker in the senior section and Iz, Si and I look for our lockers and Maia.

After I find my locker and put all my stuff away I text Simon and Izzy to tell them what number locker I have. They come over to me right as I notice Maia. The three of us walk over to her locker which I guess is right across from mine.

Before we reach her I notice who has the locker two away from hers. Sebastian.

I quickly run to the other side of Maia so he doesn't see me. "Oh hey guys." Maia says when she sees us.

"Hey Maia." I half crouch against the lockers next to her and I'm suddenly extremely thankful I'm so short.

"What's wrong Cl-" I put my hand against Maia's mouth. Simon and Isabelle look at me strangely. I point behind them and they both turn around slowly. Izzy and Simon both sorta snap their heads back towards Maia and me. "What's going on?!" Maia half whispers.

"Why don't we talk as we walk say... anywhere else." Isabelle says and pushes the two of us forward. Once we round a corner I stop trying to hide and walk normally.

"So is somebody going to explain or?" Maia stares at all three of us.

"Right, well that was Sebastian Verlac." Simon starts.

"He's a football player and a man whore." Isabelle adds.

"And well let's just say..." I try to finish.

"He kissed Clary." Simon and Isabelle say at the say time.

Maia still looked a little confused. "While she was dating Jace and he new it." Simon says after seeing her expression.

"Oh, yeah I get why we had to get out of there." Maia says looking at me.

"And that's not all." Maia looked at me like Dude. "Jace may or may not have caused him to get a few stitches, a black eye and," I turned to Isabelle. "Did he end up breaking his foot or what?"

"No, I don't think he broke it. Jon pulled them apart before he did." Isabelle says after thinking for a second.

"Right." We all turn back to a wide eyed Maia.

"Wow, Jace really let him have it." We continue walking down the crowded hallways.

"Well, Jace really likes Clary." Simon points out causing my face to redden a little.

"Yeah and- hey is that Kaelie?" Isabelle points out the blonde haired girl and I smile remembering when I ran into her at Taki's.

"It is, watch this." Simon, Isabelle and Maia watch me as we start to approach Kaelie, Helen and Aline. I wave my hand at them with a big smile on my face "Hi Kaelie." I say in a taunting voice. The smile that was on her face automatically disappears and she looks extremely mad. She glares at me and then turns around and goes down a different hallway with Helen and Aline following.

Izzy and Simon start laughing after she disappears in the crowd of people. "Oh my God, that was hilarious." Isabelle gets out in between laughs.

"Who was that?" Maia asks looking slightly amused at what just happened.

"Jace's ex." Simon answers.

"And the cheer captain." Izzy adds.

"Yeah, they were dating when we first met but he dumped her."

"That must have sucked, seeing him dating someone else when you liked him." Maia only looked at me when she said this. I forgot that she likes Simon.

"It was, like I think I almost punched her a couple of times. Don't tell Jace that though, I don't want him getting all cocky." I say with a smile to Maia. And then I bump into something, or someone.

"Don't tell Jace what?" I look up a my boyfriend and his friends standing next to him.

"Don't tell Jace that... " I try to come up with a logical answer. "That... yeah I got nothing."

"Mm hmm." Jace smirks at me and I roll my eyes at him. "You guy should be showing Maia around. I'll see you during lunch?"

"Yup." Jace leans down and kisses me before continuing walking with his friends.

"What have you done to my brother?" Isabelle shakes her head.

"I didn't do anything to him." I say defensively.

"Yes you did, he used to be the toughest guy in school and he never, I don't know, he's just so different now." I raise my eyebrows at that. "In the best way possible, I promise."

The warning bell sounds. "We should probably get to class." Isabelle and I go in one direction and Simon and Maia go in the other.

The first day of our Junior year.
