Because I love y'all so so much I figured I'd post twice today. I should still be posting tomorrow though so you'll also be getting that. But here's the new chapter...

JACE'S POV

"Hey," Jace greeted Isabelle as he entered the kitchen Friday morning.

"Hi," She yawned back and took another sip from the mug that sat in front of her.

"Where's the fire?" He asked jokingly to mock Izzy's tiredness. She glared up at him as she menacingly took another sip. It was at that moment that Clary skipped into the room. She seemed far more energetic than Isabelle did as she took a seat beside her friend at the island and pulled out her phone. "Speaking of fire," Jace said. "Morning red."

Clary grinned up at him before looking back down at her phone and sending someone a text. "Good morning." She cheerfully said back and then, without looking back, she called over her shoulder. "Morning Alec."

There was a loud groan from the couch that Jace knew came from his best friend. Alec had been fine with sleeping on the couch last night until he realized that he really didn't want to have to sleep on the couch last night. So now he was still laying there immobilized with barely half an hour to get ready for his first class.

"Why are you so happy?" Jace wondered.

Clary shrugged swinging a sharpie around in her fingers. "Oh, no reason."

Jace raised an eyebrow suspiciously but decided not to push further. He suddenly remembered his talk with Alec the other night. "You guys are going to come to my football game tonight, right?" At his question, Alec's head popped up over the edge of the couch as he awaited their response curiously.

Clary shook her head. "No, why would we do that?"

Jace was a little taken aback by her response, not because she had said no but rather because of the way she had said it. "Because Alec and Jon'll be there and it'll be fun and basically the entire school is going to be there."

"Well you know we would go but," Clary swung herself off the stool she had been sitting on. "We have plans prior to your game."

"What plans?" Alec asked and Clary looked back at him startled clearly having thought he was still too tired to do anything.

"Just... plans," Clary said and Jace noticed that she quickly glanced done the hallway where the bedrooms were.

"What could be more important than going to the game of one of your dear, dear friends?" Jace asked as he slowly inched his way towards the hall, he was now far more curious about what Clary, Izzy, and Simon had brought into Alec's room the night before.

Upon seeing him moving Clary also began to inch towards the hall. When Jace took a step she took a step. "Much more, for example, a really good tv show or if an old friend was visiting."

"You could record the tv show and bring the friend to the game." Alec pointed out. "Your excuses suck."

"Well... maybe..." Clary was at the edge of the short hall now, she paused as she thought of something else. Apparently, she couldn't think of anything though because at that moment Clary whipped around and sprinted into Alec's room. Jace took a step after her but stopped after the door slammed and the lock clicked from the other side. Jace looked over at Alec who just shrugged. They both turned to Isabelle.

"If it means so much to you I'll come to your game, Jace," Izzy said before either boys could speak. "But Clary really can't."

"Why though?" Alec questioned. "I mean that was just... weird, even for Clary."

Isabelle let out a long breath as she thought. "She's busy tonight with a... date?" Izzy spoke the sentence slowly and at the last word, it turned into a question. The girl grimaced at herself before shrugging. "Yeah, she's got a date."

Jace could see Alec look at from the corner of his eye but he didn't look away from Isabelle. The idea of Clary going on a date definitely bothered him but he couldn't think of why. He hadn't exactly established if he did in fact like her and he had told her that she should feel free to like people. Still, it wasn't a nice thought.

"So I'll come with you and Jon, Alec." Izzy continued either not noticing or not caring about the looks she was getting from both Jace and Alec. "Simon won't be able to go either though. He's... visiting his old roommate." Once again Isabelle seemed unsure of herself, but at least this time it didn't come out in question form. "But no worries, I'll be there to cheer you on Jace."

Isabelle smiled at him for a second before getting off her stool and walking over to Alec's room. She knocked and after a moment Clary let her in. Jace let out a deep sigh as he turned to Alec. Neither of them even needed to speak to know what the other was thinking. Jace had a new reason to be worried now, and it wasn't because of the game tonight.

CLARY'S POV

After her last class, Clary immediately went back to the boy's dorm room. She only had to wait about an hour before Simon showed up. Earlier that day Isabelle had told Clary she wouldn't be able to stand guard for them in case one of the boys came back but it was perfect because she would actually be with the guys now.

"Let's get the stuff and start on Jace's ceiling," Clary said as she closed the front door behind Simon. He followed her into Alec's room to gather the supplies.

"You know a sticker would be a lot easier," Simon said as he picked up several bottles of spray paint.

Clary rolled her eyes. "Stop trying to convince me not to spray paint his ceiling. It'll be fine, plus we already have everything."

"Fine," Simon sighed. "Let's get this done and over with then. If Jace finds out I had anything to do with this I'll be dead."

"Hey," Clary said. "He'll kill me too and it's going to be a lot more obvious that I had part in this than you."

Simon nudged Jace's door open with his foot since his hands were full. "Trust me, Jace might be a little mad at you but it won't last long."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Clary questioned as they entered Jace's pristine white room. It was insanely clean, so much so that Clary wouldn't have thought anyone lived there. In fact, the only object that seemed out of place was a pen sitting on Jace's dresser. Clary picked it up as she looked around curiously, she knew that Izzy had said he had the cleanest room but she never expected it to be this clean.

"Are you sure this is Jace's room?" Simon asked seeming just as surprised as Clary.

"Yeah," Clary said setting the pen back down. "This is definitely his room."

"Who would've known Jace Herondale is such a neat freak." Simon scoffed as he carelessly tossed the cans onto the neatly made bed.

"Yeah, well," Clary grabbed one of the cans and popped off the cap. "Time to mess it up a bit." Clary grabbed part of the stencil and hopped on Jace's bed. She stood looking up at the ceiling with her finger hovering over the top of the yellow colored can she was currently holding. But for some reason, she couldn't spray. A strange sense of guilt washed over her. Clary sighed and looked back down at Simon.

"What's wrong?" He asked as Clary jumped down.

"I can't do it," Clary said. "It feels wrong for some reason, like a duck would be too far."

"Oh come on," Simon crossed his arms. "You just got done telling me to man up and now you don't want to do it? It's Jace, plus the stuff is easy to wash out."

Clary looked back up at the ceiling. She narrowed her eyes at the blank ceiling before throwing the yellow can back into their pile and grabbing the blue one. "You know what?" Clary said climbing back onto the bed. "You're right, but I'm not going to do just any duck." She smiled as she shook up the can. "Jace, time for you to meet Donald."

JACE'S POV

It was in the very beginning of the game that Jace noticed splotches of paint appearing on his fingers and hands. He was trying to focus on the game but couldn't help wondering what Clary was doing. Isabelle had said she was on a date but he couldn't imagine what date she could be on that involved spray paint.

When it was halftime Jace texted Alec to meet him by one of the bathrooms. When he got there he was met by Alec, Jon, Izzy, and Magnus. He hadn't expected to see the glittery man.

"Good job," Alec said. "You guys are winning by a lot, and it's only halftime."

"Yeah, thanks," Jace said. He raised his hand to Jon and Alec and both of their eyes widened in slight confusion at the paint. It hadn't gone away for the entire game so Jace assumed she either hadn't realized it was there or she didn't care.

"How did you get paint on your hand?" Isabelle wondered. Jace figured that he might as well tell the truth now.

"I have this connection," Jace began. "With a girl and-"

"Oh my god!" Isabelle exclaimed. "Wait it's you? You're Clary's soulmate?!"

Jace, Jon, Alec, and Magnus just sort of froze. They looked around at each other confused. Had Clary told Isabelle about the connection?

"You knew?" Magnus asked. "When did Clary tell you?"

"Not too long ago. She also told me that you and Alec knew and I've been meaning to bring it up to you guys but-" Isabelle froze as realization passed over her face. "You guys knew it was Jace?!" She yelled looking back and forth between them. They both avoided her gaze and Isabelle scoffed. "Incredulous, this is unbelievable."

"So, so far Clary has told Magnus, Alec, and Isabelle," Jon said. "I wonder if she's told Simon yet, or if she plans to."

"I hope not," Jace said. "Simon told me that he wouldn't lie to her so if she brings it up he's going to tell her it's me."

"WHAT?!" Isabelle screeched and all four boys took a step back. "You know it's Clary!? Simon knows you have a connection to Clary!? Okay, someone has some explaining to do." Isabelle glared at all of them in turn, in the end, she settled her deadly look on Jace. "Start talking."

"It's complicated," Jace said and Isabelle rolled her eyes.

"Clearly but that doesn't mean it's impossible to explain. So tell me the truth before I text Clary telling her that it's you."

Jace's jaw tightened at that as he realized he was sort of being blackmailed. He was planning on telling Izzy anyway but the thought of her spilling everything wasn't good.

"I found out at Magnus' party," Jace started. "And Simon overheard a conversation between Magnus and I. I made him promise to keep it a secret because at the moment I sort of want Clary to develop feelings on her own. I don't want her to love me because she thinks she's supposed to."

"Oh," Isabelle's face softened as she realized Jace was actually being quite reasonable. "That makes sense I guess." She paused for a moment. "And just so you know Clary isn't actually on a date right now."

Jace raised his hand again. "Yeah, I figured. What is she doing?"

Isabelle bit her lip, she was clearly feeling conflicted. "I'm not really supposed to tell you. You'll see when you get home."

Jace opened his mouth again but before he could say anything somebody started speaking over a loud speaker. Jace looked back at the football field realizing he needed to get back. "I've got to go. I'll see you guys after the game."

As Jace started to run in the opposite direction Isabelle called out. "Jace!" He turned around for a moment. "I won't tell Clary." He smiled with gratitude before turning back around and heading towards the field.

Aaaaand now Izzy knows. So the people that know from both Clary and Jace are Magnus, Alec, and Isabelle. Who could be next? And when will the secret of who Clary's soulmate is finally be revealed to her? not for a while
