" You're so beautiful." Jace said. I blushed and looked deeper in his eyes. They were blue with hints of brown. He was leaning in. His lips were a millimeter away from my lips when-
" CLARYYY! I'm hungryy" Izzy screamed. I just groaned and threw a pillow at Izzy's head. I tried to shake the dream off, but it didn't happen so easily. I rolled out of bed and went to the bathroom for a shower. After I just put on some brow colour to make me look a little less dead. I put on black jeans, a light grey college and threw my hair into a messy bun. I put on the coin necklace and threw on my black lowtop converse. I put a dainty little triangle in my first earholes, a thin small hoop on the second and an other one on my third which was at the top part of my ear. I went to our living room where Izzy was laying on the sofa.
Izzy wanted to know everything. She asked about the venue, the movie, the trip to in-n-out and everything else. She, too was a bit dissapointed about the kiss. We were too lazy to make breakfast so we left to Java jones, our favourite coffee shop. I got a black coffee and Izzy took a Caramel cream frappuchino. I have never been a fan of sweet things in morning. I also took a cream cheese bagel and Izzy took a bowl of unflavored yoghurt and berries. We had just sat down when Izzy let out a gasp.
" Oh my god! Look!" Izzy squaled and showed me her phone. It was Jace's Instagram. He had posted the picture of me in In-N-Out. I gasped. What!
" Oh look! He even tagged you! And the caption is a heart emoji! Thats so sweet!" Izzy said and awed.
" Where did he get my account from?" I wondered.
" You look so good by the way." Izzy said.
" Awe thank you." I laughed.
As soon as we got home, I checked my phone. I had over 5.500 new followers. They kept coming every minute. Wow people really must love Jace, which made me realise how lucky I was.
Then I realized that it was already 10:58 and my classes started at 11:15. I grapped my messanger with my supplies, threw in my keys, phone, wallet and a couple of energy drinks. I was feeling super tired because I could'nt sleep properly. I took two canvases, my pencil case and my sketching book. I tried to stuff them in my bag. After a while of struggling, I succeeded. I shouted goodbye to Izzy, grabbed my helmet and once again, ran down our buildings stairs. I hopped on my bike and started my engine.
It only took about 6 minutes to get to my school, so I had time to go to my locker and put in my canvases and other supplies because my painting class was going to be after art history. Art history was mostly about the renaissance. I took my notebook, pencil case and my energy drink. I looked at my schedule to see which classroom the class was going to be in. Oh shit! It was in building 5 on the top floor. I was in building 1. I grabbed my stuff and started running.
Our school was huge. It was a campus. Some people lived here in building 3, but the dorm rooms were so expensive and I lived super close to the school. We had over a 1500 students here. They came from all around the world.
When I finally made it, the time was 11:16. The class had already started so I sneaked in. It's kind of funny that in high school the teachers said that we had to behave because the collage teachers are scary and won't take any bullshit. Then I came here and found out that that wasn't true at all. I remember when we had our first art hostory lesson. The first words that the teacher said were:
" Hi, dudes. I'm Steve Jacobs but you can call me Steve. I really don't care. I'm a bit hungover so if you would be kind and keep the noise level a bit down. And is it cool if I keep the lights off? Thanks. Okay, the renaissance. Let's start with some important peoplr. So there was these dudes called Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael and yes these sre the names of the teenage ninja turtles. They were named after important peoplle of the reneissance." Everyone laughed a bit. All of the classes had been pretty chill until test week came. It meant a lot of studying, trying to write full essays at 11:35 when it needs to be handed at 12:00 and lot of people crying in the bathrooms.
After school, I really felt like painting something, so I decided to go to the studio. I grabbed my bag and quickly drowned one energy drink. I hopped on my bikw and drove to the studio.
I went to the cabinets to get the paints. I set the canvas on a stand. I had to think for a while. What should I paint. Then I got an idea. I could paint Jace. I took my phone to get a photo of him from instagram, when I noticed I had another 5000 new followers. Yesterday I still had 800 followers and now I sddenly have over 23000 followers. I went to Jace's instagram and picked a photo of him in a white and blue striped turtleneck with sunglasses and his hair all messy and cute. I first sketched all of the outlined and then started doing his face.
After about one and a half hour I was done with his face and hair, when I remembered that there was going to be photo shoot downstairs. I decided to go check it out.
I sneaked downstairs. I could already hear the camera shitter clicking and I could see the camera flash.
"Raphael, turn your head this way, Sebastian, don't squat down, Simon stop squintinf like that and Jace just keep doing what you do, you look great." The photographer said. Wait. Those names sounded familiar. I finally got to the glass door, when I saw that it really was Queen which was being photographed. I went inside to watch. Then the photographer noticed me.
" Ah, Clary! Thanks for letting me shoot here." Anita said. She was one of the regulars who came here a couple of times per week.
" No prob!" I said.
"Clary?" Jace said. He sounded kinda surprised.
" Sup." I said.
" Are you stalking me?" He asked. I just laughed.
" I could ask you the same thing. I own this studio." I said. You could see that Jace had an "Oooooh" moment.
"So this is the studio you were talking about. Niicee." he said.
"Okay I think we're done with the group photos. Let's move on to the individual photos. Jace, you wanna be first?" Anita asked. Jace nodded and walked back to the back of the room. They had a light ocean blue backdrop and they were all wearing casual neutral tones.. Jace was wearing grey jeans, a white t-shirt, a dark blue tattered denim jacket and he was wearing yellow converse shoes. He had sex hair. He looked really hot.
They started taking photos. Jace was really good at modelling. He knew hot to work the camera while looking effortless. They had taken photos for a couple of minutes when Jace asked:
"Clary, could you join me?" I was mortifyed. I hated being infront of the camera. Especially now that I looked like ive been dragged behind a moving car for days.
" Ummm..." I said unsure.
" Come! I'll show you." He said.
" But I look horrible!" I said with a laugh.
" Clary, you look angelic. Come!" Jace said. I rolled my eyes.
"Fiine." I walked to him. First we took a few photos just looking at each other. I couldn't stop laughing and everytime I stared laughing, so did Jace but Anita said it was good because it looked natural. Then we took a few of just messing around and then a few of us being serious. First I stood halfway bing his back. Thenwe went to sit on the ground with me sitting infront of him.
I was surprised that I actually enjoyed the photo shoot. After we were done taking photos, we flopped on the couch.
" So are you painting here or did you just come to visit?" Jace asked. I had really forgotten to appreciate his british accent. He sounded so hot.
" I'm painting." I said.
"Can I see?" Jace asked. Then I remembered that I had painted Jace.
" Uhh...well..um it's nor really finished." I said while blushing.
" I don't care. Let's go see it." He said.
" Fine." I said
"What did you paint?" he asked. I let out a nervous laugh.
" You." I said and smiled sheepishly.
" Cool! I've always wanted someone to paint my beautiful face." Jace said and I laughed. We went upstairs. I showed him the painting.
" It's beautiful! Okay, It's my face, of course it's beautiful but you are very talented!" Jace said amazed. I blushed.
" Thanks." I said and grabbed my equiptment. I continued painting it while we talked. We were having such a good time, laughing and having fun. I asked about his family.
" My mom and dad passed when I was six. I was raised in orphanages back in England. What about you?" Jace asked.
" I never met my dad and I have no itensions. He was an alchoholic. My mom died when I was 18. Izzy and her family have been my only family for a couple of years now." We both had kinda fucked up families.
"When are you leaving back to England?" I had been dreading asking that question for a while now.
" Oh we're thinking about permanently moving here." Jace said. That was such a relief but I didn't show it.
" Oh that's cool."
After about an hour, I was finally done with the painting. I was pretty proud of it.
" That's amazing!" He said. I put it in the collection of my other paintings. Jave wanted to go threw all of them.
" Who's this? Your boyfriend?" He asked. He sounded a bit dissapointed.
" No! That's Izzy's gay brother, Alec." I laughed. Jace instantly seemed happier. I got a notification on my phone.
IZZY: When u comin home?
CLARY: Be there in 15
"Izzy wants me to go home." I said to Jace.
" I can help you clean up." Jace said and I thanked him.
"You can wash the brushes." I said and handed them to him. I washed the tables and put the paints away. After Jace had cleaned the brushes and put them to dry, I grabbed my stuff and was about to leave.
" Hey, Clary. Would you like to comee to the American Music Awards with me?" He asked. Omg! Yes! I couldn't believe it but I wanted to act cool.
" I'll have to check my calendar." I said.
" Ok cool! I'll send you the deets." He said.
" Bye!" I said. I could hear him say bye after me. Just after I had gone behind the corner, I started jumping up and down and doing my victpry dance. Then I heard laughing from behind me.
" You do realise that I can still see you?" Jace asked. Oh crap! I forgot the mirrors all around the rooms.
" Yup, just thought I had a bug on me." I said and ran out.
Later that night Jace texted me.
JACE: AMA are on the 20.4.2019 at 17:00. I'll pick you up at 16:00. Simon is going to ask Izzy but don't tell her yet. Tell me the colour of your dress so that I can get a matching bowtie or tie. Your choice. See ya ️
CLARY: I'll have to go buy a dress but I'll tell u as soon as I get it. And I like bowties better :)
I coudn't believe I was going to a award show with a red carpet. It's my childhood dream. Oh crap! I've got to buy a dress. Guess I'm not paying rent then.
"Oh my god!" Izzy screamed. There it is.
" Simon asked you to the AMA's?" I asked.
" Yes, how did you know?" Izzy asked in confusion.
" Because Jace asked me too." I say. Izzy just squeled.
" Yey! We can go shopping!" Izzy said and I groaned. Then I noticed another text from Jace.
JACE: Check the mail
Thats weird I thought but did it anyway. There was a single envelope. I took it to my room and opened it.
Hi Clary!
Go to the Macy's at W 34th st and 7th ave. Show them the other note in this envelope and they will know what to do.
Love,
Jace
Wonder what he meant by " they will know what to do".
Izzy left to the store to buy us some ice cream. Yes we know we eat too much ice cream but we really don't care. When she came back, she was laughing hysterically.
" You have to see what I found from the store!" She said and took out an magazine. Holy fuck! That was my face on it! I read the front cover.
"Does Jace have a new love interest?" "Go to page nine to find out more" I flipped to page nine.
" Jace Herondale, the drummer for Queen, was spotted at the Sunset Drive-In movie theater with a female friend. They were sitting innthe trunk of a Toyota Pickupp 1994. Later that night, Jace posted the picture of his female friend and also tagged her. The mysterious's girl's name is Clary Fray and she's a student at Brooklyn Art School. Are they dating or are they just friends?" I read aloud to Izzy. The pages had the picture of me in in-n-out, one from the drive-in with us both laughing like mad and a pic of us outside my appartment.
"Wow, You really are famous now!" Izzy laughed. I just rolled my eye.
" I'm tired, I think I'm going to go to sleep." I said. Izzy said goodnight and left to her own room. I took of my makeup and put on my pyjamas. I jumped in bed and started thinking. My life had changed a lot in these past four days. With that thought, I fell asleep.
I'm really sorry if I made any annoying spelling mistakes or something like that. Thank you to those who reviewed. It means the world to me!❤️
Peace out,
Frayster
