Chapter 21

I don't own any Of these characters!! Enjoy!

Clary's POV

Yep it's official Jace did not believe me... that was not very convincing. I said 'I'm fine, perfectly fine!' . Perfectly fine... sounds about right. Jeez my life, what has it become. My life just flipped right upside down.I feel as I am juggling 10 balls at once. Each one representing a problem that I am having right now. By now I'm sitting up now. I got up from my little nap. Jace is looking at me with concern. There's a knock on the door. Jace gets up and opens the door. I hear Jace say thanks then close the door and come walking across the room to the bed. In his right hand he is holding a letter. He opens it and reads it. "Just great! A royal family dinner in a couple of days. My parents, just wow. They also said P.S Clary has to learn proper table manners. Then on top of that it's says that they are serious we have a special gues coming to dinner as well." Jace says his voice laced with sarcasm. "When you said family dinner, does that include the Lightwoods?" "Yeah and Simon gets to come as well, I imagine that Izzy got a letter and told Simon." I grimace at the mention of Simon. Jace gives me a look again. Wow what's with the looks today. I wanna scream Leave me along, but then again I want Jace beside me. I lay back down and close my eyes. This day is just getting started, almost lunch. "Why can't I just crawl in a ball and cry?" "1 because I won't let you, 2 because there is no need, 3 you will over come this." Jace tells me. He has a look of seriousness. Well so much for that. "So what's for lunch?" I ask him. "Why don't we go to the kitchen?" "Sure." Jace gets up and walks to the side of the bed I'm on and offers me his hand. All of a sudden he puts his arm under me and carries me bridal style. He carries me for a bit. "Let me down!" I demand giggling. He sets me down. I then bolt down the hallway. I know the way to the kitchen so I don't stop running. I get to the kitchen and almost bump into one of the chefs. "Woah.Sorry!" I say. I feel the heat rushing to my cheeks and neck. Yup I'm probably looking like a tomato. Real nice.i gear Jace laughing behind me. I turn around and glare at him. "Jeez it wasn't that funny, mostly embarrassing!" "Yeah sure, to me it's still very funny." This time I don't glare at him, I give him a very mean look, it isn't pretty. I then turn back to the chef. "Your highness." The chef said. "Hey Arnold!"

Jaces POV

The chef nods back to me in response. "Clary and I are going to make our own lunch." I announce to the kitchen. Clary gives me a third look. Wow she's just dealing them looks out like a deck of cards. "So what are we making?" I ask Clary. "I don't live here." "Ok then, let's make Mac and cheese." "Sure, that seems simple enough." I go the the fridge and grab some cheese. "Hey Clary go to the pantry and get the macaroni." "Ok!" I then wait at the counter for her to come back. I wait for 10 minutes . I then decide to go and check on her. "Clary?!" "Yeah!" "Did you find it?" "No, this place is huge!" "Yeah I guess." I glance around and spot the macaroni. "You probably wouldn't of found it, it's on the top shelf." "Wow, thanks for that. It's not my fault I'm short! "Uh huh." I say and walk out of the pantry.i get a pot and fill it with water. I start or boil it. It takes awhile. "Soo..." I say. Clary responds back. "Sooooooooo..." well she beat me there. The water is finally boiling. I add some macaroni. I then take some cheese and melt that. The macaroni is almost done. It gets done and I strain it and add cheese and milk and a little butter. Perfect. I grab some bowls and hand them to Clary. "Gets some spoons." "Ok." She grabs them and then we head back up to my room to eat. We each dish up. "Well that was fun." She nods, her mouth full of food. "This is actually pretty good." She says. "Feeling better." "Yeah kind of."we finish off the pot. "How about we go and talk to them?" I offer. "Sure, not really sure how well this will go. I do really need Izzy's help for the dinner that's coming up." We put our bowls aside, then get up. We head to Izzy's room. Clary knocks on the door. "Come in!" Yells Izzy. Clary opens the door and slowly walks in. "Oh hey!" Izzy says. "I'm assuming you got a letter." I tell her. "Yeah." "Clary needs help with proper ways of the table when eating with a royal family." "Is love to help!" I notice Clary, she seems to be angry. I'm taking a guess, I think she's mad at izzy because of how quickly she dismissed their fight. "Hey where is Rat face boy?" "He got his own room." Izzy Says.
