*Important* Okay so I had people telling me they were a bit confused on the last chapter. When I reread it, I saw why. Okay so John and Seb were mad because someone posted a picture of Clary in a racy dress and she felt humiliated. The person who posted it had written 'Compliments of an Alicante', which is their football team, and they immediately assumed it was him. But the next day after the picture was posted people realized it was photo shopped, so Clary didn't really care. I guess since I had rewritten the chapter over and over again I had forgotten to mention that.
Someone also told me they didn't understand the party at the beginning of the story. The thing with that is, they are at the party. The rest of the story is Clary replaying what happened when they got back to school earlier that week.
*Very Important* This chapter is going to be about Clary remembering her shopping trip with Isabelle. The party isn't going to be until next chapter. I copied the beginning of the last chapter because I wanted it to be like she is remembering how her week went.
When Jace said party I was not expecting this. Instead I was expecting explict music blasting and people dancing all around. Teenagers drinking alcohol in plastic red cups and long lines for the bathrooms. And I was expecting to not have to talk to or even look at Jace. But I defiantly wasn't expecting Jace and my brothers to have become friends. Especially when they were ready to kill each other on Monday. I mean, how could someone possibly go from hating someone one day, then being best friends with them the next? It was just impossible to believe. Mainly because I'm pretty sure one of them still had a black eye that must have been covered up with makeup, Isabelle's idea no doubt.
If I was being honest, I'd have to say that I was quite disappointed. The whole week when I was bored in some class, I would think about how all I had to do was make it through the week, and then I would be rewarded with an awesome party. It help that I heard the Lightwoods threw the wildest parties. But now I was stuck here. And to think, I went through hours of torcher with Isabelle for nothing.
Yesterday
I looked behind me again. I was running to my car and had been running for a long time. My last class was all the way on the other side of the school. But I didn't care. I had to keep running. I was trying to escape my death after all. Or more like trying to escape Isabelle.
It was Friday and I was scheduled to go shopping with her. Me and her had hung out through out the week and it had been fun. But there was no doubt in my mind that going shopping with her had would be anything but.
When I finally made it to my car I fumbled for my keys. Just as I was about to open door I heard somebody scream my name.
"CLARY I DONT KNOW YOUR MIDDLE NAME FRAY! WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOURE GOING?"
When I turned around I saw Isabelle walking over here with Jace and Alec behind her. They looked embarrassed of not only of her screaming across the parking lot, but embarrassed to call her their sister too. And truthfully, if I were them I'd be too.
Being friends with Isabelle and actually being related to her were two different things.
"You are not getting away that easily."
After arguing I sighed in defeat.
"Fine. But Jace and Alec are being dragged along too and..." I looked around and suddenly saw Jordan, Magnus, and Simon walking by. I smiled and continued, "And the three of them."
Isabelle agreed and I walked over to my friends.
"What no way! I've heard stories about what happens to people who go shopping with her. I will not be one of them." Jordan exaggerated. Unlike him, Magnus and Simon agreed to go.
It took the three of us to drag Jordan into my car kicking and screaming but we finally got him in.
Jace and Alec sat on each side of Jordan making sure he didn't do anything, while Magnus sat upfront with me. Simon had offered to go with Isabelle. I thought it was odd since I didn't think they talked, but I didn't say anything. They could be friends and I just don't know about. I mean, I did just move here so what would I know.
"Just pick a damn song already!" I shouted at Magnus who kept switching stations every few seconds. He gave me a look and then settled for the song rude by magic.
The rest of the ride was spent in awkward silence. Magnus kept peeking at the mirror to look at Alec. And I'm pretty sure I saw Alec smile back to him a few times. Maybe he is gay?
"Clary, we need to get you new shoes, dresses, skirts, tops, bras-" Isabelle was telling me when we got inside the mall before I cut her off.
"Whoa! Hold up! Who said we were going lingerie shopping? Especially with all these boys."
Isabelle rolled her eyes and replied, "Oh please, they're guys. They'll probably like it."
We turned to the guys and it looked Isabelle was wrong. Alec was shaking his head, Simon looking at the floor awkwardly, Jordan saying he had a girlfriend, Magnus was the only one agreeing to go, and what Jace was saying was hilarious.
"I prefer to see bras in the bedroom." after it seemed Isabelle wasn't budging he continued, "Oh dear lord please no! I'll do anything, just don't bring me in there please!"
Everybody looked at him shocked. For such a tough guy, he sure was a baby. After a second, we all burst out laughing. Jace turned bright red and I laughed even louder.
Ever since Monday, he has started to grow on me. He still annoyed me, but a little less now.
Of course Isabelle got her way, so me and the guys were forced to walk into Victoria Sercet. And I was actually embarrassed to walk in with 5 guys.
I learned that shopping for lingerie with guys was ,well, awkward to say the least. Isabelle acted as if they weren't even there. But it wasn't as easy for me. I don't know who was worse. Magnus glitter and all searching for bras for me or Jace who kept yelling things like Lord save us all.
"Oh Clary! Look, you would look so good in these." Isabelle exclaimed holding up matching lace bras and panties in all different colors. I shake my head but she hands then to me anyway.
As I look over at the guys, I notice they're no longer standing in the corner. I scan the room and cant believe what I see. Jace, Jordan, Simon, and Alec are playing with... bras. I quickly take out my phone and snap the most amusing photo. Alec and Simon had the bras as goggles over there eyes, Jordan with the bra wrapped around his chest, and Jace has the bra on his head like a head.
I uploaded it to Instagram and wrote 'could they look like bigger idiots?'.
"How do you think you idiots look?" I asked while holding up my phone for them to see.
"This is war, Red." Jace stated.
I rolled my eyes then turned back to Isabelle and Magnus wanting to get this over with.
I came out of the store with 8 sets of lingerie that Magnus and Isabelle insisted I get, and only a pair that I chose.
Next we hit stores like forever 21, wet seal, and deliah's. I of course came out with tons of bags filled with clothes Isabelle had picked. I didn't really mind though, because we made the boys carry all the bags. And I had to admit that some of the clothes were actually cute and something I'd wear.
When I saw hot topic, I forced Izzy to come in with me. This store was not something I like to skip over. Simon and Jordan went to go checkout some of the guys t-shirts while the rest of us went over to the women's sections. Isabelle of course going straight to the corsets.
"Clary, why on earth would you shop here. Especially now that I've shown you that there is such a thing as cute, stylish clothes!" told me.
I rolled my eyes and replied, "Because I actually like these clothes."
I quickly grabbed a whole bunch of tank tops, t-shirts, and sweaters I liked and paid for them before Isabelle could complain about them.
But of course, since it was Isabelle, she just had to get herself and I something I'd never pick out for myself. For me, Izzy got me a bunch of corsets and some were tight, black, leather corsets. I shook my head and realized I could never expect her to come into any store without buying something short, tight, or slutish.
As we waited for Simon and Jordan to finish paying, Jace came and stood next to me.
"I can't wait to see you in those bras and panties. But if I was being honest, I'm more excited to see you without them on." he whispered in my ear while that infuriatingly hot smirk of his.
I scuffed and rolled my eyes. This was the thing with Jace, one minute me and him could be acting like life long friends, but the next minute he goes back to being a d-bag and ruins it all.
"In your dreams Lightweight."
"Don't worry. I'm sure I'll see it in my dreams." he countered.
Thankfully Simon and Jordan finished paying, so I walked away trying to catch up to Simon and Izzy. That is when Jordan, Jace, and I all realized it was time to leave.
"There is a god!" Jace exaggerated.
"I'm still alive!" Jordan exclaimed as if he was actually surprised he made it out alive.
I just ran to the car and then they started to run too.
"All of you really need to learn to appreciate my gift for shopping." Izzy mumbled before getting into her car and driving off.
It's only 12 and I already posted a new chapter! That is defiantly a record for me. I'll try and have another one up later today since it is so early. But don't worry because I'm 95% sure I'll have another one up tomorrow. I am going to update as much as I can this week since this is my first week of summer break.
But mostly because I won't be able to update for a while. And if I do, they'll take a while to write and be really short chapters. The thing is that I'm going to be spending most of my summer on vacation. Starting next Tuesday, I'll be staying at my cousins' house in Florida until the first or second week of August. I'm so excited because my mom isn't going with me, which means I wont have to see my parents for a while. Its my first vacation without either my mom or dad! I wont have to see my mom or go to my dad's house.
Unfortunately this means I have to leave my laptop here since my mom's isn't working and she is going to need it for work once a week. So, I'll be writing them on my tablet which I find incredibly difficult and annoying.
That means I'll only be writing a chapter or two every week or two. I was planning on updating more frequently this summer, but that was before I found out how I'd be spending my summer.
Also, when I come back I have to spend the rest of my summer reading my summer reading book, then writing a three page essay about it. That of course means that this summer I wont be updating much at all. Sorry, but I wasn't planning on having any of this stuff to do this summer.
And before I forget, I kind of just came up with the project without having any idea of what the project was going to be. Somebody came up with the idea of the get to know your partner part, but now I need suggestions as to what they could do next. So please help me out here and give me your ideas!
