The next day was quite interesting.

I woke up and Jace had his arms locked tightly around my waist. God what the hell happened. Was it lust? Obviously no guy could like someone like me. He was probably drunk despite what he said to me. I squirmed out of his grasp and sat up. My legs burns.

"Shit" I hissed. I grabbed one stale fry from my bedside table and threw it in my mouth.

I put my shoes on and scurry out the door. I was in pain. Time to crawl. CLARY PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER. WALK NORMALLY.

While on my way into the elevator I ran into the girl I was dancing with from the club. She winked at me.

"How was your night?"

"Don't get me started Maia."

"I bet he tired you out." Maia laughed.

"You have no clue. So what are you doing here anyway." I asked adjusting my jacket.

"Well I met this cute guy and... You know what you are not the only one who can get down and dirty." I laughed which just caused me more pain. Maia just burst out laughing at my discomfort.

"This is my floor, see you Monday. Hope you feel better and you let that man know you aren't his bitch." I laughed and did a silent solute with my fingers.

Before I knew it I was back home soundly and kicked my heels off and went to cook myself some breakfast. I boiled the water for multiple reasons.

I took a heating pad out and a tea bag. I turned on the T.V. And placed my beating pad on my stomach while sipping my rose petal tea. The door had a sudden knock on it when I was finally getting comfortable. Next thing I knew their was knocking on my door.

"Clarissa open this door I met a cutie and I need to vent." Said a voice on the other side. The voice belonged to the one and only Magnus Bane. Let me remind you. He is the gay that everyone likes.

"It's unlocked." I called from my spot and he comes bursting in.

"DID YOU TWO DO THE DIRTY?" He yelled from the top of his lungs.

"Shut up or you will wake up the entire damn neighborhood. Plus it's too loud."

"Because you two were doing the dirty so hard." My eyes flew open when I realized my door was still open from when Magnus burst in. A poor elderly woman looked at us like we had slapped her. Magnus walked over to the door and slowly closed the door.

"That was mortifying."

"Yeah, yeah, poor woman. Did you guys do it?"

"Well... I don't need to explain myself to you!" I groaned.

"YOU GUYS DID!"

"Fine we did."

"Did you do it safely?"

"WHAT THE FUCK MAGS SHUT UP."

"Jeez just asking." Magnus saying with a wide grin playing on his mouth.

"And stop asking about me, mister I danced on table tops in only a oversized shirt and boxers." I smirk at him.

"Oh you heard about it? I guess the hottie. must have then."

"Oh yeah that reminds me who is the hottie?" With this comment Magnus dramatically flops onto the couch.

"It's hopeless he's still not out of the closet but we made out and I think I'm in love Clary." He gets up only to pour himself a cup of tea.

"You met him a day ago shut up. It was probably lust or the drinks you took."

"Just like what I would say for you." Magnus said while starting to take a sip of his tea.

"I know that's why I left before he woke up." When I said this Magnus spit his drink out all over the floor."

"You mean you just left? No morning fun?"

"No mags I'm in so much pain that's why I'm moping right now." He laughs.

"Oh you are no fun Clarissa I'm excited to see his face Monday. I'm going to leave you to rest and I'll see you Monday." With that Magnus slips out the door all cheery like.

-time jump-

Monday could have not come any faster. It's like it slapped me in the face. I've done my best to avoid Jace. I guess it's a mutual thing. I went back to being my not so confident art nerd and Jace went back to being a cocky flirtatious jock.

I was staying after school to finish up a painting. It was a good 5:50. The football teams practice finished about 5 minutes ago. I would be lying if I hadn't said I was watching Jace play for a bit when I took a break and I'm almost positive he didn't see me.

I was done with my painting so I go out to the lockers to grab my things. I hear footsteps but ignore them. I lock my locker and start making my way to the door and all of a sudden I feel a arm a wrap around my waist and on instinct I'm about to scream but a hand covers my mouth.

"Hey red." It's was Jace goddamnit.

"You gave me a fucking heart attack."

"Huh I swear I said that the day I woke up without you." He said huskily in my ear.

Oh god the memories of the night started flashing in my mind.

"Someone's a little tense." Jace said. "I thought you said we could try."

"Jace you probably lost track of the times you drank or something because no guy in their right mind likes me." I growl as I try to move out of his grasp but that only makes him only hold on tighter.

"Never red." He loosened his grip and I stumbled back up against a wall. Jace whipped around and placed one of his arms on either side of me. He stepped closer so there was nowhere for me to run. I was pinned other him once again. How funny that this is a familiar thing for me.

"I thought we had fun." He whispered. Oh god I was so close to losing sanity and all common sense with this man. This sexy sexy man.

"Plus I saw you watching during practice." My cheeks turned a deep red. He started to lean in. I have no escape. The thing that surprised me was that he didn't kiss my lips but only my forehead. He was good at this.

I grab him by his collar and pull him down only to crash my lips with his. It took him a moment but he quickly caught up. One hand is holding onto his collar and the other is tangled in his hair. He bites my lower lip and slide his tongue into my mouth like this is a casual thing.

Another pair of footsteps come we ignore them at first until the set were rounding the corner. We pull away.

"Your good red."

"I swear that's what I thought not to long ago." I mocked him.

"Let's get out of here before we get caught." Jace laughs deeply while pulling me by my hand. When we made it outside we both sat in his car.

"Shit I'm hungry." Jace huffs

"Jace you are always hungry when I'm around." I scuff.

"Let's go somewhere."

"Jace, no I'm not going out looking like this let's drive to my place I'll cook you something." I sigh.

The drive back was silent.

I open my door and we both step in. I walk to my kitchen and take out ingredients for a zesty lemon pasta. While cooking I just had to say something.

"What the hell are we." I hate being that girl. I couldn't take it. I didn't want to be a pleasure thing or something casual.

"Anything you want."

"That's selfish on my behalf. I don't want to ask you to be my boyfriend when there is so much better and I couldn't li-."

"Stop."

"What?"

"Stop downgrading yourself. I notice on somedays you are a confident bitch and others you are small and scared. Your amazing Clary."

"Your just saying tha-"

"No I am not." I turned to face him. He never looked so serious. I grab The now finished plates and head to the couch and sit right next to him.

"I'm scared of being used." I say quietly while passing him the plate. He used one hand to eat and the other on be used to drape on my shoulders. His grip was gentle so I didn't feel strained but tight enough so it didn't seem lazy.

"Clary I promise I won't use you so now can we actually try for real this time."

"Sure." I was going to say something sentimental but Jace cut me off by moaning. My eyes grew open.

"What the hell." I squeak.

"You are a amazing cook." I laugh at this.

"My mom taught me."

"Speaking of which. You are young, do you live alone?" Jace asked while slurping on his noodles. He looked adorable.

"Yeah my parents live far away."

"Wow fancy miss independence." I laughed and buried my head in the croak of his shoulder.

"Aww you are adorable. See how could you doubt yourself." Jace sighed. Could this actually be that start of something? If so I wouldn't be mad.

Remember This? Its been sometime. This would be the simple school chapter and if i wrote another it would be like another fun. Anywho hope you guys like this one even though its been ages.
