Then I heard, "Mom! Dad! You're home!"
I turned around to see a woman with blue eyes and black hair and a man with dark brown hair. As I looked at them I couldn't help but wonder how Jace got his blonde hair and gold eyes. Did he dye his hair and have colored contacts?
Both of them studied the scene in front of them. Jace looking extremely amused, Max trying to jump on Alec, and then at me and Isabelle.
"Isabelle who is your new friend?" their mom asked.
Isabelle smiled and replied with, "This is-" Before she could finish, Jace came and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Then pulled me closer to him. I looked up at him like he was crazy.
"Actually she came here for me. This is Clary." he said with that irritating smile of his.
"Yes well she is hanging out with me this weekend not you." Isabelle pointed out.
"Well you had to beg her. I got here to come willingly." Jace added.
I again look at Jace like he is crazy. Why on earth is he trying to make me look bad in front of his parents? I mean I don't like him, but I do like Isabelle. And I think we could actually become friends. But I am gonna be so embarrassed if I come over to her house to hang out with her and her parents think I'm here for Jace. Oh god what if other people think I start coming here for Jace? I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
"What! I had to come here. Remember? The questions we have to answer for English. The ones that we didn't get to finish because your horrible at focusing and an absolute idiot." I told him.
I heard laughing and saw that their parents found it funny.
"I like this one." their dad told me.
"She has some sense in her." their mom said.
I smiled shyly at them. Normally when you insult someone's son or daughter they'd go into defense mood. But not them. They seemed to find it amusing.
"So I'm Maryse and this is my husband Robert. Are you going to be staying for dinner?"
"I don't know. I wouldn't want to bother you or intrude." I said trying to be polite.
"Oh don't be silly! Your welcome to stay for dinner any time." Robert assured me.
I nodded and told them I would stay. I just had to call one of my brothers or uncle to tell them I wouldn't be back for dinner. I could tell when I said my uncle instead of mom or dad they were surprised. I also saw that they wanted to ask why I lived with my uncle. And what happened to my parents. But thankfully they didn't so I didn't have to make up some story to hide the truth.
(Clary, their uncle, John, Sebastian)
Hello?
Hey I'm working on a project with a guy from school and we still have some questions to finish and his parents invited me to stay for dinner and then we'll finish the questions after we eat so I wont be there for dinner.
A guy? So when am I going to get to meet him?
It's not like that. Trust me I'd rather die. So anyways can I stay?
Sure why not. Just be careful getting home. Have him drive you back
Okay and can you do me a favor?
Sure.
Can you just not tell John or Seb?
There was some noises and then someone else was on the phone.
To late. Now what on earth were you saying about staying for dinner at this guy's house?
Look John-
Wait a second Clary don't you dare tell me you are still at that is idiot's house.
Seb it's no big deal okay?
Before they could say anything else I quickly said bye and then hung up.
Deep breaths I told myself. God if they were this bad now how's it going to be when I get home?
I didn't know what to do or say. Right now I am stuck in between Isabelle and Jace. Whenever Isabelle tries to start a conversation with me Jace interrupts and vice versa.
I couldn't talk to Alec either because he was sitting next to Max and he wouldn't leave Alec alone.
Eventually Maryse noticed that I was awkwardly eating my pasta and decided to try and start a conversation with me.
"So Clary I have never seen you at any school events." She said.
" Oh well I just moved back here." I told her.
"Moved back?" Maryse repeated.
"Yeah me and my brothers moved in with my godfather and moved to California because he thought a change of scenery would be a good idea. We just moved back last week."
"Oh." She commented obviously not knowing what to say.
"So Clary are your brothers your age?" Robert chimed in.
"Oh no they're seniors."
"What is their talent?" He asked.
"They're both football and basketball players."
"And you?" This time Alec spoke up.
"Me? Oh I'm an artist. But I also got in for soccer. I'm pretty good at gymnastics and music too but those were just extra talents that helped me to get in." I said.
The rest of the dinner went by fast with a few conversations here and there.
"Alright let's get these questions over with so I could get home." I say to Jace.
We both grab our pens and get ready to start writing.
"First question.." Jace continues "if you could give a random person a piece of advice what would it be?"
I thought about it for a little before saying,"treasure what you have because one day you could lose it all. And you?"
"Um... Oh! To always remember that it's important to have fun."
I quickly scribble that down in my notebook and pick up the paper to read the next question.
"What do you think about art?"
I already knew my answer was going to be a long, thoughtful answer. After all art is what I loved to do. It is also what helped me when my dad left and when my mom died.
"Its okay I guess. I mean the only thing I draw is random designs on my arm with a marker or pen."
I couldn't believe that he was saying that I mean, yeah I know most people don't like art. But I just don't know how that could be. To me it was something that I just had to do. It was as necessary as food and water to me.
"Well I happen to like it very much. I am an artist after all. I love it. It's like my drug. It also helped me out a lot." I tell him.
He looks at me filled with curiosity. I sit there wondering what I did. I reply what I said and still have no idea what I did. God, this guy got distracted easily. He hadn't even written what I said in his notebook.
"What?" I say with a little laugh.
"What do you mean it helped you out a lot?" Jace asked.
I look at him with a look that is meant to say ' now why on earth would I tell you?' You could tell by the expression he had on his face that he got it.
I got a little worried. He probably wouldn't leave me alone until he got his answer. What was I supposed to tell Jace? My whole life story? That the only reason I got into art was because all my mother could afford for me after my dad left was paper and pencils. That because my dad left I discovered I was a good artist and for a while threw myself into my art. And for that time I barely spoke to anybody. And that when my mom died it happened all over again but that time worse.
A few moments passed and I still had not said a word. I was still to busy worrying about what to say to him. Just find a way to tell him without actually telling him.
"Well let's just say that there were some issues and art was kind of my distraction." I said not knowing how else to put it.
He simply nodded and waited for me to read the next question. I rolled my eyes because it was his turn to read.
"What is your partner's star sign and how compatible is it with your own?"
"I'm an aquarius. You?" Jace says.
I tell him "Leo."
Jace goes on to his laptop and types something in. When he is done, he has a huge smirk on his face. He wiggles is eyebrows at me and shows me the screen. Opposites attract it says.
"Your sun signs are opposite. Your Sun signs are opposite. You find each other fascinating, frustrating, and intriguing-all at the same time!"
"Well, well, well. I knew it all along. You can't help but love me." Jace smirked. "Shut up." I told him.
The next question read: If you and your partner were in a relationship how well do you think that relationship would be.
I looked up at Jace and he was once agaun smirking. I shook my head, snatched his notebook from him, and quickly scribbled something down. Then I threw the notebook across the room and stood up.
"Get your keys." I commanded. "Your driving me home." and with that I left the room.
"Turn here." I instructed.
Me and Jace were driving to my house and Jace was having trouble following directions.
"That one. Pull into the driveway." I sais.
When we got out Jace stood in awe.
"This is your house. It's bigger than mine. And nobodys house is bigger than mine."
I rolled my eyes and started to climb the tree that was in front of balcony in my room.
"What are you doing?" Jace asked obviously confused.
"I am not in the mood to have my brothers come talk to me. So I'm sneaking in."
He nodded and looked at me like I was crazy.
"See ya tomorrow read." I heard him call out.
But I just walked in and slammed the balcony the door.
I'm so sorry! I know its been like 4 months but the thing is that I keep forgetting I actually have a story to write. I'll try and have at least one more chapter by next week but the thing is that I have all these tests this week so I don't know I if I can. But don't worry, Ill try. But anyways, the questions were suggested by someone and I thought it was a good idea. Also, someone suggested I should have them do something with vampires, fairies, and wolves. I'm going to do something with that, but I'm not quite sure what. Any suggestions?
