Hey guys! I hope a few of you would have caught the association of the names I used last chapter. Gretel- was in Luke's new york pack that died in the battle at Renwicks. She was also his second in command that kept calling him Master. Justine was also in Luke's pack I am surprised nobody caught that! Anyway here is the next chapter enjoy!
Chapter 4: The Ass
CPOV:
I get to my advisor office and knock diligently on the door. I know why I am here and I try to contain my excitement. "Come in!" I hear Ms. Penhallow call out and I slowly open the door.
"Good Morning, You emailed to see me?" I ask her as she looks up from her computer and smile.
"Yes, please have a seat." She gestured for the chair in front of her desk and I closed the door and scurry to the seat. "Well Professor Greymark sent in the paper for you to transfer to Professor Alaric Wolf's class. It is the same time as Professor Greymarks' class."
"Really?! Thank you so much!" I say faking surprise but genuinely happy.
"Yes, however I am quite curious. Professor Greymark said he was going to speak to you before transferring you out. Did the talk not go well?" She asks tilting her head to the side.
"After class Professor Greymark did speak with me and asked why did I want out of the class and not confront him about it. I told him that his class was overwhelming and not for me. The girls in his class are distracting and whispering vulgar language about him and it's distracting and distasteful. I have nothing against the Professor but I want to be focused on my work not on trying to tune them out. I am trying to get a five year degree in three years so my classes need to be worth paying for." I say with clear confidence. It's not like they are going to deny me this with the heavy pull I have here.
Mrs. Penhallow sighs deeply and rubs her temples. "I am sorry about this. The transfer of course was approved. We just don't want this to get back to your father…" She mumbles the last part and I sigh deeply.
"I guess we can keep this between us. No reason for my father, the major donor of this school to find out right?" I say casually hoping she would catch the drift.
"Yes, yes, Miss. Fray-Morgenstern. I owe you one thank you." I nod my head taking my transfer paper and heading towards the door to my first class of the day.
I peep through the window to the class door and see what I assume is Professor Alaric Wolf unpacking his messenger bag. I take a deep breath and open the door walking through and clearing my throat.
"Hello Professor, I am Clarissa Fray- Morgenstern. But please call me Clary Fray." He glanced at me and held out his hand. I placed the transfer sheet into it and he scanned it before reaching for papers on his desk.
"Morning, Professor A or Mr. A is how I like to be addressed. Professor Wolf is my father whom I hate by the way. Here is the three assignments that is due by next class so you can catch up. I assume the introduction assignment you did in Professor Greymark, and Chapter 1 Review as well correct?" I nod my head and begin to fish it out of my backpack and hand it to him. "Good. Now all you have to do is Chapter 2 Cornell Notes and Review. Today we are starting Chapter 3. On test day I collect your notes to see if you are training yourself to succeed in my class. If not I'll tell you what you're doing wrong."
"Okay… Thank you, can I sit anywhere?" He glances up at me and flips through his book.
"Row 5 seat four is all yours Miss Fray-Morgenstern." He finishes just as the students begin to file in and I retreat to my seat oddly enough in the middle of the room.
"Hey Red, you're new here huh?" I turn my head to see an attractive blond boy. He was tall but looked fit. His amber eyes twinkled with mischief, and a playful smirk settled on his face. Making him look all too arrogant. I rolled my eyes at the obvious nickname.
"Well did it look like I was here last class? Or the class before that?" I say taking out my binder and turning to face forward.
"Well you were you would have noticed me. How could you resist a face as gorgeous as mine." From the corner of my eye I can see him wiggling his eyebrow. "I am the handsome, avaliable for dinner tonight Jace Herondale. And you are?"
"Not interested." I say just as Professor A calls the class to attention.
Throughout the class I can feel Jace's eyes on me. I look down to take notes and suddenly a note gets put on my desk. I tilt my head to look at him and unfolds the note.
Dinner tonight? You can't say no to me. Come on look at this face!
I turn to him and shake my head, before turning back to the lesson.
"Alright Class until next time." People starts flying out of class and as I start walking down the aisle I hear my name being called. "Miss. Fray-Morgenstern, Mr. Herondale a word please?" From the tone of his voice I know it's not a suggestion even though it is the way he worded it.
"Yes Professor A?"
"Look you too want to flirt that's fine. Kids will be kids but don't do that during my class time. Are we clear?"
I am instantly taken off guard with his statement. "Excuse me?" I squeak out unable to do anything else.
"I am sorry Sir. Red and I will keep our flirting out of the class time. Like dinner tonight. Right Red?" Jace the asshoe says with a smirk on his face.
"NO!" I scream at Jace and turn to the Professor. "This creep doesn't know what the word no means! I've been ignoring him all class, and he has been bugging me, sending notes, and calling me names! Which you just assumed was flirting!" I take a breath and turn towards Jace. "You bother me one more time, I swear I will kick you in the balls and make sure you will need a straw to pee! And you Professor, if you see a young lady being bothered the least you can do is help her out! Not let her be harassed by an asshoe!" I huff and turn on my heels racing out the class! Talk about humiliation! Maybe I could take the class online? Or better yet just take all my classes online the advisor would allow that.
I am home lounging around eating ice cream and watching netflix in my sweatpants when suddenly there was a knock on my door. Probably Luke after hearing how I reacted to his friend. I walk to the door opening it and walking back to the couch.
"I'm sorry, I know he is your friend but he was so rude to me. His comment about me flirting with this annoying guys during class time got to me. Especially when you told him I was seeing you." I call out as I move pillows around to sit on the couch.
"Well Red, I didn't know you'd receive me with such open arms." I turn around to find my door wide open, and Jace the asshoe Hernodale.
"What are you doing here?!" I whisper deadly calm backing up to the panic button in my apartment.
"I wanted to apologize and take you to dinner." He says scanning my body. "But if you rather stay in and…. Connect that would be fine." He smirks at me and I am finally against the wall by the T.V. and pressed the hidden button and grabbed my phone off the t.v. stand.
"Get out or I will call the police, I swear." I say holding up the phone.
"No don't do that were just talking!" He rushes forward and I take off down my hallway slamming my door and locking it.
Looking down I have an incoming call. Luke. I quickly answer it.
"Please tell me you're here." I whisper just as Jace slams his fists into the door.
"I am outside, who was that!" He calls out and I can hear his car alarm sounds.
"This guy I said no too! I thought he was you when I opened the door…" I mumble grabbing my backup phone just as it lights up. My security is here!"
"Alaric and I are on our way up hold on." I quickly hang up and answer my backup phone.
"Jordan?" I ask on shaky breath.
"We are entering the apartment stay where you are." He says firmly before hanging up and once I hear his voice and I know I am safe. "GET ON THE GROUND NOW!" The banging stops and I hear mumbling I unlock my room door and see Jordan has Jace face into the carpet and is handcuffing him. My front door still wide open and Alaric and Luke runs right in causing Jordan to lift his gun.
"HEY HEY! Jordan their fine. Their with me." I say before turning back to Luke and running to his opened arms.
"You had me so scared!" He whispered in my ear and I couldn't help but squeeze him tighter to me. A throat clearing made up jump apart. I glanced up to see a tall man that quickly flashed a badge at me.
"Miss Clarissa Fray-Morgenstern, I am a friend of Jordan. My name is Gabriel. Can you tell me what happened here?" The tall bronze guy with dark black hair asked me. Pulling out a notebook and pen.
"Well I just meet him today. He asked me out numerous times before class ended and even then. I didn't look through the peephole before opening the door because there's only two well now three people who knows where I live. I asked him how he figured out where I lived he said admission. I knew he was lying because admission still have me down as staying in the dorms. While he was talking I backed up and pressed the panic button, and ran to my room. He was banging on the door I called Luke, and Jordan called me. That's it…." I say wiping the palms of my hands on my sweat pants.
"Do you know how he could have found out?" The detective asks me pushing his notebook pack in his navy suit pocket.
"I don't know maybe followed me. I can't say for sure." He nods his head in understanding just as Jordan comes around the corner.
"I'll keep this out of the payroll and handle it myself. Jordan walk with me?" Gabriel asks in a way that doesn't sound like a question. I wait until they close the door before turning towards Alaric.
"Not to sound rude but why are you here? Didn't you have enough entertainment from me for today?" I say crossing my arms over my chest.
"I just wanted to apologize to you…. I shouldn't have acted like that it was unprofessional of me as your professor." Alaric says holding up his hands, palms facing me in surrender.
"Why would you do that? You could clearly-" But before I could finish a knock sounded on my door and Jordan came in. "What happened Jordan?" I ask rubbing my temples and sighing.
"Buddy has been arrested, Gabriel was question him and get to the bottom of things."
"Alright good… good…"
"One more thing Clary." He pause looking at the ground before looking back up to me. "Your father called, he saw your panicked button active. He's leaving in the hour to come here…. And Jonathan is getting on the next plane to meet him." The air that once filled my lungs leaves my body, and my whole being tenses. The four words I never wanted to hear anytime soon. 'Your father is coming' and I utter the single word I can in response to this.
"SHIT!"
There you go guys! The next chapter…. It is starting to jump right in there.
