A/N: Hey guys!! It's been awhile. It seems I've finally gotten over my writer's block!! Happy Holidays everyone. I hope you enjoy and as always RR.

Clary's POV

The next few weeks passed by in a blur. My friends still weren't talking to me but I gained some new friends after the lunch incident. Aline even tried convincing me to join cheerleading!! Can you imagine that? Me, Clumsy Clary, as a cheerleader?

I don't mind going to watch her practice though, it gives me the chance to see Izzy and the rest of the gang, who are currently treating me like the black plague.

"Get out of that pretty head of yours." I know that voice. Smiling, I look up at Sebastian and Aline.

"Hey guys, is practice over already?" I already knew it was, why else would they be over here. A little disappointed, I packed my drawing supplies and searched the field looking for my friends who had already disappeared.

Jace's POV

As we were leaving the field, a flash of red hair caught my eye; turning around, I saw that it was Clary. She was bent over something, her face contorted into what wasn't quite concentration but more of deeply in thought. I couldn't help but wonder what had her thinking so deeply.

Before I could even think, I was walking over to her - but then, Sebastian ran right past me to get to her. As soon as he reached her, she smiled the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.

I couldn't help but feel jealous. That smile should have been for me. Not being able to take what I was feeling towards Sebastian, I left the field.

When I got home, the gang was on the couch; Magnus was sitting on Alec's lap and Izzy was on Simon's. They were watching something. I didn't really feel like being around anyone so I headed up to my room.

Heading over to my desk that sat in front of my window, I took out my homework. Two hours passed by before the sound of a car door shutting startled me out of my concentration.

Looking out the window, I could see that it was Clary and Sebastian. He walked her to her door and she kissed him on the cheek goodbye. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with joy that that's all she did. Not able to peel my eyes away, I kept watching - and yes, I'm aware of how creepy it is but give a guy a break.

As she turned around to open the door, Sebastian pulled her back in and kissed her on the lips, she pushed him away and said something. My heart soared at the sight but then he pulled her in again and wouldn't let go.

Rolling my eyes, I walked away. I couldn't watch the girl I loved make out with a douche. When I reached my door I heard her yell, "Sebastian! I said no!" Running over to my window, I saw her struggling to get out of his grip. Seeing red, I took off for the front door.
