Okay, so last chapters country was Australia! Some of you guessed it, so good job! I am still going to add certain countries cultures to each chapter but I am no longer going to tell what country it is because the details will be from lots of different countries mixed. This chapter is in the point of view of Isabelle as promised and it is taking place at the same time as Clary is in the school. Enjoy!

I was walking along the dirt path behind our school. It was the fastest way home for me because Alec had practice and couldn't drive me home. As I walked through the woods following the trail I thought about all that had happened to me in the past few weeks since Clary had arrived.

Before she had got here I had been the most popular girl in school, but I only had Alec and Jace to hang with. Now I had Clary, Maia, Jordan, Magnus, and Jon too. And Simon. Now he had joined our ranks too.

It was funny actually, how little he thought I thought of him. That day in gym he had seemed so shocked that I even knew his name. I wondered what he would have thought if he knew that I had secretly ben crushing on him for the past few years. I could imagine his face. He would be surprised at first, then it would morph to happiness, and then confusion. He would think, why would she like me? But I did.

I knew he would be happy though, because as he was Clary's best friend, she knew that he liked me too. Now I just had to wait for the right time to ask on the knowledge.

I reached our house just as football practice was ending. And it was Thursday night, which meant it was truth or dare night. Ever since we were little, I, Alec and Jace would have our closest friends come over for an ultimate game of truth or dare.

We hadn't had one since Clary and Jon had arrived though, because Clary had been in the hospital, and then Jon had been. Today was the first time we had the chance to do it and I was planning on getting Clary to help me ask Simon out.

When I walked in the front door I saw Jace and Alec, already changed from practice, a very confused Clary, and a sweaty Jon laughing at her. Then there was Magnus, adding extra glitter to his hair while Alec held up a mirror for him. How cute. And then there was Simon, sitting near Jon and Clary, laughing with Jon. God he was so perfect.

"Finally! You're here Izzy! We have been waiting for you forever!" Jace shouted out.

"Umm, why have we been waiting for her?" Clary asked, clearly wondering what the hell was going on.

"For Thursday night truth or Dare of course," Alec butted in, clearing up her confusion.

"While I am always up for a good game of truth or dare, I vote we make it that if you refuse to answer any questions or do any dares you have to take off a piece of clothing," Magnus added to the conversation.

That was followed by a chorus of "Alright's" and nods.

"Okay, I am starting, as per tradition," I said to the group, "But first, Clary, I need to talk to you," I said, grabbing her hand and dragging her to the hall.

"Hey, what's up?" Clary asked, furrowing her eyebrows. So I told her my plan. All of it. When we were done we went back to where the boys were talking.

"Let's get this game going!" I said, exited to put our plan to use. "Okay… Alec! Truth or dare?"

"Truth," he replied.

"How long have you had a crush on Magnus?" Magnus perked up, obviously eager to hear Alec's answer.

"Since he moved here," Alec said right away, before blushing. They were so cute together.

"My turn. Simon truth or dare?" Alec asked Simon.

"Truth"

"Who in school do you most want to sleep with?" Alec asked, becoming, as he always did in this game, a different person.

Simon's face turned really red and he took his shoes off. Lame way to strip, but whatever.

"Jace, truth or dare?" Simon asked, a mischievous grin on his face.

"Dare, obviously." Jace replied as we all rolled our eyes. Simon's grin just grew though.

"I dare you to touch a duck," Simon said, calmly, obviously very pleased with himself.

Jace, on the other hand, had paled. "What!? How do you know about that?"

"I have my ways, but you heard me Herondale. Touch. The. Duck." Simon looked like it was Christmas morning. You know, if he wasn't Jewish.

Jace growled at Simon and took his shirt off. Simon and Clary started laughing together, obviously having had a plan for this put together.

Jace pointed at Clary. "You! You told him!" He accused her. She just shrugged.

"Maybe I did," She said innocently. Then she burst out laughing again.

"Fine. Clary, truth or dare?"

"Dare"

"I dare you to not go on your date with Sebastian." Jace said, pleased with himself. Clary just scowled at him and took off her shirt. Jace just stared at her chest before she said, "My eyes are up here asshole!" Jace blushed and looked away, but not before getting a pointed glare from Jon.

"Simon, Truth or dare?" she then said. I smiled, knowing it was about to happen.

"Dare, I guess." Simon said, trying to seem cooler.

"Ha! I dare you to ask Izzy out," Simon's face turned bright red and he looked at me.

"Will you go out with me Izzy?" HE asked, sounding genuine, despite the dare.

"Yes!" I squealed. Alec gave me a surprised look, knowing that I hadn't gone on a date since Meliorn.

Simon grinned and came to sit next to me.

"Jace, Truth or dare?" He then asked. It was kind of funny how we all were ignoring Jon and Magnus.

"Truth" Jace said, shocking us all.

"Hmm. Would you rather have sex with Kaelie or Aline?" Simon asked him, struggling to find a good truth for Jace.

"Easy, Kaelie. She's blond." That was followed by a chorus of eye rolls and scoffs.

This went on with a few more interesting dares and truths before it was Jace's turn once again. "Clary." He said, pausing for effect. By now Clary only had on her bra and panties and Jon had hidden her behind him, being the good big brother he was.

"Truth," Clary said, tired of always picking dare.

"Who is Jared and what did he do to you?" Jace said, completely serious now.

I was expecting Clary to answer of take off her bra, but instead Jon leapt across the floor and decked Jace. Clary had turned white and was rocking back and forth, whispering to herself.

What the hell was going on? Jon was beating the crap out of Jace for asking about a person who had Clary shaking at the name of. What. The. Hell?

Just then Jon got off of Jace though and dragged Clary out the door. Jace looked after them, his nose bleeding and there was an unusual expression on his face. Worry.
