This is chapter 2. I hope you like this️
After Max's graduation, I couldn't wait to get home. It felt like Jace's number was burning in my pocket.
Izzy and I had a small appartment on Smiths and Union st. It had two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. I had moved there when I was 18 when my mother died. I had a messed up childhood. My dad was and alchoholic and I hadn't seen him since I was six. Izzy and I had been friends since kindergarden when we were paired up together to make a castle out of toiletpaper rolls.
My room was small and its theme was black and white with lots of green plants. All of my walls were white woth some of my artwork framed woth black frames. I had a queen sized bed in the corner and under the huge window. I loved the window so much. I could see everything from up there. I hung up some white fairy lights on the windows. I had black shelves on top of my bed which had lots of green plants, some pictures of my family and Izzy and my drawing supplies. In the other corner of the room, I had a full length mirror and next to it, I had a white vanity. I had a big black dresser for my clothes and shoes. I also had a rack for them. I had blacked a ton of random plants and candles all over my room. I had lamps hanging from the roof, which were basic lightbulbs with mason jars on top. On the last side of the room, I had my studying table, which is mostly used for my artwork and it was pretty much always messy. Otherwise my room was fairly clean. Next to my studying table was a record player and a box full of records. I loved listening to them.
Izzy's room was completely different. Her walls were a royal blue color. She too had a bed under a big window, a white vanity and a whote clothing rack. She had blue almost see through curtains which made the whole room a lovely blue colour. She had a white furry matt which was the softedt thing your feet could be blessed with. She had the same closet as me except her's was white. Izzy had a big crystal chandelier whoch made the room look like it was filled woth rainbows when the light hit the crystals. The biggest difference between Izzy's and my rooms were that Izzy's toom was always a complete mess. She had clothes flung everywhere, makeup spread all over her tables and hair products and tools on the floor.
Our living room had the same theme as my bedroom. It had white walls, a black sofa, a black coffeetable, a black little dresser to put our tv on and a furry black matt. It had the same lamps as my room. Our living room was connected with our kitchen. Our kitchen had a black marble island, five barstools, some cupboards for our plates, bowls, glasses, mugs cutlery and so on. It had a fridge and a washing machine too. It also had the same lamps as me. The both rooms had green plants everywhere; hanging from the roof, on tables and on the floor.
Our bathroom, as my room, living room and the kitchen had a black and white theme. It was pretty much your basic bathroom. It had a shower with black marble tiles and glass walls. The sink was also made from black marble. The bathroom also had a toilet and a mirror on top of the sink.
As soon as Izzy and I got home, we changed into sweats and hodies, got some ice cream out of the freezer and jumped on the sofa. We put on The Breakfast Club and just started talking about yesterday. We both were in shock. Apparently Izzy ans Simon had really hit it off. I was still wondering why Jace had noticed my. I didn't look that special. I had flaming orange hair, pale skin green eyes. I was about 5'3 and fairly skinny. I wasen't ugly but I wouldn't describe myself as pretty either.
I took my phone and typed Jace's phone number in. But what if he had given me a wrong number? Well there is only way to find out. I went to text messages and typed in "Hey :)" and then pressed send. Almost immedietly I got a text back
JACE: Hi :)) i'm glad you found my note!
CLARY: Yup me too. And you found my note?
JACE: Yes. I had so much fun yesterday!
CLARY: Me too! I still kinda can't believe it happened
JACE: I can't believe I met someone so beautiful
I couldn't help but giggle a little bit.
CLARY: Ass kisser
JACE: Only if it's yout ass
CLARY: good one
JACE: oh by the way, what are u doing tomorrow?
CLARY: Nothing
JACE: I'll pick you up at seven. Dress warm. See you
Omggg!
"IZZYYYY" I screamed. Izzy came running in with a straightening iron in her hand.
" What?" Izzy asked and looked round the room. When she saw that there wasn't anything dangerous in the room, she put down the straightening iron.
" Jace Herondale just asked me on a date!" I squealed. Izzy gasoed and took my hands in her hands. We both started screaming and jumping around like five year olds.
"Ommgg! What are you going to wear? Where are you going? When? We need to get your nails done. Ooh and your legs waxed. Oh and-" Izzy continued until I interrupter her.
" Izzy calm down." I laughed.
" He said to dress warm so I guess somewhere outside? And he's picking me up at seven tomorrow. And fine we can go wax my legs but I'm not going to get my nails done. And thats final." I said. Izzy sighed.
" Finee." Izzy said in defeat. " Let's start with the waxing. You know what, I have some wax strips in my bathroom. Okay lets go." Izzy said and pushed me towards the bathroom.
After a painful 30 minutes of Izzy waxing my legs, she finally let me go. It was already six p.m. so we decided to order pizzas. I ordered a Margharita pizza and Izzy ordered a hawaian pizza.
The pizza's came fast. We payed for them and went to sit on the bar stools. I went to grab a bottle of red wine and glasses. Once again we had a blast just talking about out feelings and other "girly" stuff when the doorbell rang. I jumped up to open the door.
" Hi, Clary!" Alec and Magnus, Izzy's brother and his boyfriend said.
" I think this belongs to Izzy. She might want it." Alec laughed and gave me a small piece of paper.
" Do you wanna come in? We have some pizza." I asked. The pair shook their head.
" We're going on a date now, biscuit , but thank you. Just thought to stop by and give that to Izzy. Goodbye my darlings!" Magnus said and waved. I waved back and closed the door. I couldn't help but to wonder what was in the note that Alex had handed to me.
" Who was it?" Izzy asked.
" It was Alec and Mahnus dropping by to give you this piece of paper. Wonder what's on it." I said while handing the note to Izzy. Izzy imedietly opened it. Her face lit up.
" Show!" I begged. She tilted the note towards me.
" I thought I'd give you my number just in case, I don't know, if you want to go out with me. I mean you don't have to but if you can you want. Text me :)
4392920184
best regards,
Simon Lewis"
" Haha you can literally read his awkwardness from that note." I laughed.
" I think it's sweet." Izzy said. Of course she would. She had always had a thing for nerdy boys.
We spent the evening eating our pizza's anf drinking wine. Izzy had answered to Simon's message. They had agreed to go on a date on Saturday and Izzy was already panicing about it. After that, we both just decided to go to sleep.
In the morning, Izzy was already fussing about the date.
"Go wash your hair!" Izzy said.
" Ok, Mom!" I said and laughed. Izzy just rolled her eyes and pushed me towards the bathroom. She put a bottle of vanilla shampoo and conditioner. I went in the shower and washed my hair. I was a bit nervous but I tried not to think about it.
To get my mind of the date, I decided to go to my art studio to paint a little. I put on my light blue mom jeans which were covered in paint, a white v-neck t-shirt and some black converse. I threw my hair in a messy bun and grabbed my phone, helmet and keys. I ran downstairs and jumped on my bike. The studio was only a 5 minute drive away.
The studio used to be my mom's, but when she died it was giver to me. The studio is pretty much the only way I'm able to pay rent. There was was a painting/other arts room, photoshooting set, dance studio and a music room. I rented it to people. I knew the schedule and I could use is when it was free. I put my sruff in the corner and went to get my supplies.
The art room was a big room with tons of tables. The walls were filled with cupboards. I chose my favourite spot, right besides the window. I decided to paint another picture of Izzy. I had a collection of paintings of the people I loved. It included Izzy, her family, my good friend Maia from my art school and of course my mom.
Today I painted a picture of Izzy in out senior prom. It was us hugging in the middle of the dance floor after Izzy had been crowned the prom queen.
Painting was a way for me to relax. I've always been very artistic and liked drawing. Mainly because my mother was a professional artist.
I painted for hours. I was just about to do Izzy's hair when she called me.
"Speaking of the devil." I thought to my self and answered the phone.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" Izzy screamed at the phone. I had to put the phone further away from my ear.
"I'm at the studio. What do you mean?" I asked. Then it came to me. THE DATE! I had been so caught up in my work I didn'g realise time was going so fast. I checked the time. It was 17:52.
" Okay, okay hold tight i'll be there in five." I said
"You better be or else-" I cut the call before she got the chance to finnidh the sentence. I quickly put my brushes in a water cup and set my painting to dry. I grabbed my stuff and once again, ran to my bike.
When I finally made it back to our appartment, I was out of breath. I had ran up all of the stairs. As soon as I stepped through our doorway Izzy sent ne to the bathroom to wash my face. I applied some muisturizer and went to my vanity. I decedid to do a very natural and light makeup. First I applied a small amount of concealer under my eyes and over a pimple I had. Then I did my brows. I liked to keep them natural, so I only applied some to fill in my brows. Then I curled my lashes and put on a light coat of mascara.
Then it was time for clothes. He said to put on something warm. I went to my closet and picked out some light blue tight fitting mom jeans, a black woolen sweater tucken in on the front and a golden necklace with a coin looking pendant I curled my hair into loose messy curls. I put on a yellow beanie, slipped on my Dr. martens and put on a jean jacket with a white wool layer.
I checker the time. 18:45. I still had 15 minutes. I had butterflies in my stomach. Or more like little snakes biting the insides of my stomach. Izzy seemed to notice and handed me a shot of liquid courage a.k.a vodka. I took my green Kånken bag and put in my wallet, some chapstick and a from Izzy's request, a condom.
"Izzyy!" I had argued with her but she just raised her arms.
" Hey you never know!" She said and I threw a pillow at her.
"Wonder were we'll be going?"I asked Izzy.
" Only god knows. Except this time Jace would be the god." We both laughed. The time passed and the closer to 19:00 we came, the more nervracking it was.
Then the doorbell rang. Izzy squaled and ran to get it. My heart dropped to my stomach. This was it. I walked to the door.
Jace looked amazing. He was wearing black ripped jeans, a black AC/DC hoodie, a black leather jacket and a black beanie. He, too, was wearing Dr. Martens.
" You look beautiful." Jace said. I smiled and looked down.
"You don't look so bad either." I said. We smiled at each other.
"You ready to go?" Jace asked. I nodded and grabbed my bag.
" See you Izzy!" I said as I shut the door.
" Wait how did you know where I live?" I asked. I never told him.
" I have my ways." He said and winked.
" You asked Izzy didn't you?" I asked.
" Yup." He said. We both laughed. We walked down to his car, which was a red Toyota Pickup 1994.
" Interesting choice of car. Toyota pickup 1994?" I asked.
" Yes. I'm impressed. How do you know so much about cars?" Jace asked.
" My friend used to date this guy, Kyle. He taught me everything about cars." I said. We hopped in the car.
" So where are we going?" I asked. He just looked at me with his beautiful smiled that made my heart melt.
"It's a surprise." He said. The rest of the ride went silently, but in a comfortable way. Then we turned into an open area. Then I saw the sign.
"No way! I've always wanted to go see a movie in a drive-in! This is so cool!" I said. It was true. I was so excited. We parked our car.
" Wait here." He said. I decided to text Izzy to tell her where we were.
CLARY: Hi! Jace took me to an Drive-in(!) see you in a couple of h️
IZZY: omg thats so romantic! See you!
Then Jace came back. He had a huge fluffy blanket, sodas and popcorn. He put them in the trunk and helped me out. Then I saw the trunk. He had put fairy lights on top, a matress and some pillows.
"This is so sweet. Thank you!" I said. I really meant it.
"The best for the most beautiful lady." Jace said and bowed. I laughed. He lifted me into the trunk and then climbed in. He snuggled super close to me and put the blanket on top of us.
"What movie are we watching?" I asked.
" The Breakfast club. It's my favourite movie." Jace said.
" No way! It's mine too!" I said. Then the movie started. He snuggled up closer and I rested my head on his shoulder. We just talked about random stuff and watched the movie. We kept going closer and closer untill I was practically on top of him.
When the movie ended, I was a bit sad. I would have wanted to hang out with him more.
" You hungry?" Jace asked.
"Starving!" I said. We both laughed. We jumped in the car. Jace put some music and we just sung our hearts out.
" Your voice is really good!" Jace said. I blushed.
" Thanks. Your's too!" We smiled at each other. Then we were at In-n-out. We jumped out of the car and went inside. We both had cheeseburger meals with coca cola and french fries. We got our food and chose a table.
" Can I take a picture?" Jace asked. I nodded and smiled at the camera. I just laughed when I saw Jace smile at the photo. We at our food and just talked about eveything. We both managed to eat our meals.
Jace dropped me off at my appartment.
" So, this is it?" He asked. I nodded and smiled.
" I had a great time." I said
" Me too." He said and smiled.
" A goodnight kiss?" He asked innocently. I laughed and nodded. Jace's eyes flickered between my eyes and lips. He started leaning in. The closer he got, the more butterflies I had. I closed my eyes. He was so close to my face when-
"RINGG" Jace's phone started ringing. We parted awkwardly and Jace anwered his phone.
" Really guys! You had to call now?" Jace whisper screamed and I laughed. He talked on the phone for a couple minutes and then hung up.
" Goodnight, Jace." I said and leaned in to kiss his cheek. The vibe wasn't right anymore. He waved and I went inside. I was a bit dissapointed about the kiss, but I didn't let it ruin the date, which had been perfect. I saw that Izzy had fallen asleep on the couch while whatching tv, so I closed it and put a blanket over Izzy. I washed my face and got into my pjs. I hopped into my bed and fell asleep almost instantly. Little did I know, that today was going to be the first time I dreamt about a certain golden haired boy.
