Is anyone else upset that the TV show it ending on Monday? I think we can all agree though that it does not do the show justice, especially with SIzzy. In the show we hardly get an Sizzy compared to the books. This really upset me since Simon and Izzy are my two favorite characters.
Anyways I have a question for you all, should I have Simon and Clary start a relationship for a little while, or should I move straight into Sizzy? I look forward to your opinions.
I am sorry that this chapter is a little shorter than the usual ones, but summer starts in less than a week so I will be updating more frequently very soon to make up for the shorter chapter.
Simon had felt bad for all of the problems he had caused Izzy, so he asked if he could hang out with her over the weekend, which she agreed to. Simon knocked on Izzy's apartment door and was rewarded with Jace opening the front door. "Sorry, we didn't order any pizza," He said as he tried to close the door, but before he could Simon wedged his foot into the door.
"Haha very funny, now will you let me in?" Simon asked in an annoyed tone.
"Why would I let the pizza guy in when I didn't order any pizza," Jace asked in a confused tone.
Simon sighed before starting, "It's me, Simon, from orientation. We are in the same morning class, remember? I am here because Izzy and I are supposed to hang out today."
"Huh, you do look kind of familiar now that I think about it. Are you sure you aren't a pizza delivery guy?"
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST LET ME IN!" Simon yelled exasperated.
Before Jace could respond Izzy appeared in the doorway, "Jace what are you doing? Let him in!" Izzy exclaimed. He reluctantly moved out of the way and let Simon through. "I am sorry about him, he is way too overprotective."
"Its whatever, he just pissed me off," Simon replied.
"Yeah, he has a bad habit of doing that to people," Izzy explained with a laugh. "Just give me a few more minutes to get ready okay?"
"Sure thing, I'll just go sit in the living room and wait." She nodded in agreement as she made her way to her room. When he made it into the living room he saw Jace sitting on the couch and Simon realized he had already forgotten that Jace was still here. Simon then took a seat on the recliner, because it was the farthest place to sit away from where Jace was.
Jace didn't seem to understand why Simon sat as far away as possible, because he started making conversation, "So you really weren't a pizza guy?"
"NO! I have not and will never be a pizza guy!" Simon clarified.
"Oh, my bad then." Jace stated. "So you are going on a date with Izzy I take it?"
His question caught Simon off guard, "W-what? A date? No, we are just going to hang out as friends. She helped me out earlier on this week, so I am trying to return the favor."
"So you aren't interested in her in a romantic way?" Jace asked.
"Huh? No not really, I mean she is really attractive and all but…" Simon started.
"But you are in love with someone else already," Jace interjected. "Am I wrong?"
"What? How did you know that?" Simon asked in disbelief.
"It was written all over your face back at orientation. I couldn't quite place you at first because you are dressed completely differently, but back then when you were looking at the red-headed girl I could tell. Its her isn't it? The girl you are in love with."
Before Simon could respond Isabelle came into the room and grabbed his arm, "Let's go Simon!"
"Oh, sure thing." He responded as she pulled him out of the apartment with her.
Simon led Izzy to an outlet mall because she seemed like the type of girl who would love shopping. "Okay, I'll buy you something from the store of your choosing."
"Really?" Izzy asked in an overly excited tone. "So how about that car over there?" She pointed as she said that, so Simon turned to where she was pointing. There was a camaro on display in the center of the mall that was just a little out of the price range he was thinking.
"I believe I did say anything that was in a store, and that," he pointed out. "Is not in any of the stores."
Izzy gave him a sarcastic pouty expression, "But I was so hoping for that...Do you care if we look around for awhile so I can figure out what I want?"
"Sure thing, that is fine with me," Simon responded. The two looked around the stores for a while until his stomach started grumbling. "Are you okay with stopping to grab a bite to eat at the food court?"
"That sounds good to me, I am practically starving as well. What are you planning on eating?" Izzy asked.
"Are you kidding? We are in New York, of course I am going to eat pizza!" Simon exclaimed.
"Why does that not surprise me?" Isabelle said in an amused tone.
On their way to the food court Simon saw an elderly lady that looked lost, so he made his way over to her, "Hello miss you look like you are lost, do you need any help?"
"Oh, would you be so kind as to show me where the food court is? My grand kids are waiting for me, but I cannot tell right from left in this place." The lady stated.
"Sure thing, the two of us are actually on our way over to the food court as well. We can show you how to get there," Simon responded. The lady's face lit up and she gave him a smile that warmed his heart. Soon enough they were at the food court so Simon asked, "Do you know where your family is?"
"Let me see," She answered as she looked around for her grand kids. "I see them, they are over there near the restrooms. Anyways dear please take good care of your boyfriend, he's a keeper."
"Oh she's not my.." Simon started, but the lady had already walked away.
"What a gentleman you are, my boyfriend," Isabelle laughed as she said the last part of the sentence.
Simon's cheeks flushed slightly, "That's not funny!"
"Oh what's the harm? It didn't bother me that she mistook us for a couple."
"Well it bothered me!" Simon explained.
"Why did it bother you Simon?" Isabelle asked in an amused tone, "Am I not good enough for you?"
"That's not it and you know it!" Simon clarified. "You are way out of my league anyway."
"What makes you think that we are in different "leagues" as you put it? You are basically saying that you are giving up before you even try," Isabelle protested as the smile fell from her face.
"It's true though, you could be a supermodel and I am just a nobody," Simon pointed out.
"No, it's not Simon. I told you before that you are good looking, you just don't realize it," Isabelle counseled. "Your superfluous self-doubt is starting to become annoying. Listen to me when I say this, I would date you."
"Wait what? For real? You are not joking right now?" Simon questioned.
"I am being completely serious right now Simon," Isabelle clarified. Then she leaned in to whisper in his ear, "Well if we were dating, you wouldn't keep your chastity for very long."
Simon took a few steps back as he tried to process what she said. "Uh I need to go...use the restroom. Yeah, that! I'll be right back," Simon claimed as he made a quick break for the bathroom.
"Wow I just wanted to tease him a little bit, I didn't think he would be so flustered," Isabelle thought out loud as she started to laugh. Isabelle was sure now that this was going to be fun for her.
