When I finally got home I could see that Jace had already beaten me back. As he and my brother lay on the couch play COD on the x-box I could see that Jace way eyeing me up. As I turned and gave him the bitchiest face I could, I saw as he was nudging his head towards the kitchen as if he wanted me to meet him in there. As Jace left leaving me and my brother John in an awkward silence (he clearly knew something was up but blatantly wasn't the slightest bit bothered to ask) I waited ten seconds before retreating to my kitchen to meet him.

I could already see Jace savaging through my fridge like he lived here, which he kind of already did, which gave me to perfect opportunity to scare him out of his wits. So I did so, screaming loud enough for Jace to jump but not quite enough for John to hear. Watching Jace smash his head into the upper shelf was probably the highlight of my day, other than talking to Simon.

"SHIT! Dammit Clary I could of had a heart attack!"

"All the more reason for me to do it" Saying this was surely going to tick him off, which was one of my many hobbies. Then I remembered that I had no idea why Jace had ushered me in here in the first place.

"Why did you want to talk in the kitchen? And not in front of John?"

"Well I thought seen as we were going to discuss RatBoy I assumed you didn't want John knowing. Anyway not the point. My whole reason for bringing you here is to help you get RatBoy."

"Are you being serious or are you still trying to mess with me? And actually be serious this time Jace because my heart is at stake."

"I promise. All you have to do is make him jealous."

"Seriously Jace you think I haven't already thought of that? Do you understand this is my true love we're talking about?"

"Can you just listen to me for a sec tidge? I didn't say how you were going to make him jealous." He took my silence as a hint to carry on. "You can make him jealous by 'dating' the hottest guy in school." I slowly began to clock onto what he was suggesting and it made me want to hurl. Knowing how cocky Jace is he was definitely talking about himself.

"NO FUCKING WAY JACE!"

"And why exactly not? This can be my thank you for letting me hook up with your friend Isabelle." What was Jace going on about? I don't remember condoning this. But that isn't my current problem.

"Because...because... your like my brother! It just feels wrong" But even as I tried to fathom another excuse, I gave up, knowing damn well it was because I would end up having to kiss Jace. Meaning my first kiss would be with Jace. This was the most shameful thing ever and no way in hell was I sharing that with him.

After a thoughtful silence I broke the ice and came to my conclusion.

In my quietest voice I whisper "Fine but I make the rules."

Hope that you enjoyed this chapter! Bear in mind I was half awake writing so it may have ALOT of mistakes in it but hey ho!
