A/N: Quick Question y'all. I'd love to know your opinion!
I've watched COB movie trailer like more than five times….and I'm just not feeling it. It looks like they added a bunch of stuff I don't remember in the book and the hotel scene had Izzy, Alec, then Simon as a human again…
It's not right.
So, what are your thoughts? I'd like to know ^.^

Chapter 5
The Past Comes Back
The next day at school, the Seelie Queen and her parents, Clary and her mom and Luke, and the principal, Hodge, met in the office to discuss the bullying.
The Seelie Queen tried to say that Clary started it all, but Clary jumped to her defense. The parents argued until finally Hodge yawned and said, "Look, this was just a little squabble. Seems like both of the girls are at fault here. Stealing best friends, calling each other names. Plus, Clary took care of it. So,"
"I'm not in trouble?" Clary asked with hope twinkling in her eyes.
Hodge shook his head. "No. It's the end of the school year. I've had boys and girls come in with much worse things. Plus, you'll be in intermediate school next year. Just a little warning, Mr. Pennhallow doesn't allow any foolishness. He won't even let his own daughter get by with stuff."
The Seelie Queen stamped her foot. "HELLO? What about my jaw? It's broken."
Clary rolled her eyes. "You're an idiot. If you can talk then your fine. Ain't nobody got time for that!"
Luke blinked, "Did you really just quote that lady off of YouTube?"
"Yes, yes I did."
"Ok," Hodge stood up. "It was nice meeting you all. Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony then you can take your kids home afterwards. I will see you all there tomorrow. Good day." Hodge sent one more pointed look at Clary and the Seelie Queen. "Behave, you two."
When they left Hodge's office, the Seelie Queen's parents made her apologize to Clary. She did and sounded completely sincere. No wonder she has everyone fooled. Clary was forced to apologize, but she muttered it.
As soon as that was settled, the girls were sent to their respective classes. When Clary entered her class, Tessa asked her fiery head friend about the meeting.
"I didn't get in trouble. It's the last week of school. Everyone acts badly on the last week of school because your teachers won't have you next year." Clary explained as she took her seat next to Tessa.
"Hmm, ok. Hey, would you like to spend the night over my house? Izzy says she's coming. Funny, I'd thought she'd say no because they hate the Herondales."
"No. It's Alec and Izzy's cousins that hate Will. Gabriel and Will have always hated each other. That's what Jace told me. Gideon doesn't care one way or the other."
Tessa smiled, "That's interesting. I tried asking Will why he and Gabriel hated each other, but he would kick me out of his room. He's so moody, that boy."
Clary smirked, "Ah, so you like him?"
Tessa blushed, "N-No of course not! Jem is a lot more tolerable…"
"Who said anything about Jem, Tess?"
In annoyance, Tessa slammed her head against the table which made Clary burst out in a fit of giggles. From the other side of the room, Simon watched her in confusion.
This was supposed to make her jealous! Not make her…happy. Simon thought in disgust. Ugh, he blamed Jace for this!
Now, because the rest of the day is useless and so is the next day during graduation, I'm going to use my kick ass authoress skills and time skip to after graduation.
After the graduation ceremony, the parents were all talking in the parking lot, the kids were playing one more time on the playground before they had to go to intermediate school. In intermediate school, they have a playground, but you can never play on it! And apparently , it's forbidden for them to use the elementary school playground.
That means before the summer, this would be the last time Jace and Clary would meet.
"The intermediate school is right there," Clary pointed to the building across from the elementary. "I've seen fifth and sixth graders make their way over here."
"Yeah, Alec sometimes comes over to the playground to play kickball. It's not that big of a deal." Jace sighed irritably. "I mean, the intermediate school has a playground, but we can never use it! It's sitting there. Taunting us. Every single damn day."
Clary laughed at Jace's rant. It was funny to see him like this. Now that summer was coming, she wouldn't get to see him or Izzy a lot. Seeing her sad face, Jace patted her fiery red curls. "There, there, Fray. It's only two months without seeing my sexy self."
"…wow. Just wow." Clary laughed.
"Jace!" He stood up and saw Alec waving from the parking lot. "Come on! Let's go home!"
"Alright, be right there!" He called back.
Jace looked at Clary for the last time. He wasn't going to admit it, but he would miss her a lot. Her green eyes, her beautiful red curls, and the many freckles that adorn her face. Yeah, he would miss everything about her.
"See ya, Fray. Don't get in too much trouble this summer."
"Bye, Jace. Thanks for everything." Clary murmured the last part as he walked away into the mid afternoon sun.
Things were going to be a lot different.
*( Sixth Grade)*
"I'm open!" Clary yelled as she sprinted down the court.
Maia Roberts nodded and passed the ball to Clary. As soon as it was in her possession, Clary jumped and let the ball fly. The basketball spun around on the rim before it went in.
Clary and her team cheered. Coach Branwell told everyone that they did a good job and could go home.
Clary, Maia, and Izzy grabbed their bags, changed in the locker room, and then left the gym. It was October and the weather was very cool, but it felt great to the girls who just came from their workout.
"Clary, you are so freaking good! You are a basketball star, I know it!" Maia slapped a hand on Clary's back.
"I doubt it. My free throws need a ton of work. Izzy is much more better than me anyway."
"Ha, you got that right, sister." Izzy said. "Look, I'm going to go see if Mr. Branwell is still in his room. I have to get Alec's make up assignments."
"Yeah, I'm going to go catch Jordan. He just got out of football practice." Maia said. "Bye!"
"And I guess I'll go meet Jace." Clary smiled.
She began to walk over to the elementary playground. Things were going great. In fifth grade, Clary became friends with Maia who had joined their class. Simon( it's a rumor. Nothing confirmed…yet.) and the Seelie Queen apparently had a falling out. Then Simon tried to get with Maia, but when that failed, the Seelie Queen threatened Maia to leave Simon alone. So, it was always debated whether they still had a relationship or not.
Simon and Clary have talked a few times, but neither one made a move to apologize or talk about the incident that left their friendship in shambles. Clary had new friends and so did Simon. That is enough for her.
Their tree came into view and a tall figure was leaning against the tree.
"Hey, Jace. Did coach let you out early?" Clary asked as she sat down at the base of the tree.
"Yeah. He was surprisingly in a good mood today. How was basketball practice?"
"Great. My three pointers are getting better!"
Jace laughed, "That's good. I really want to play basketball now. But, we are almost to the junior playoffs though." He looked down at Clary. "You'll be there, right?"
"Of course! I'll be cheering you on, no matter what." Clary answered.
Wow, how did I get so lucky to be friends with her? Jace mused to himself.
"Hm, it's getting dark. I'm going to go see if Luke is here." Clary said standing up. Their meetings under the tree have been shorter because of practice that ran to six o' clock and it was getting dark a bit earlier now.
"Yeah, lets go."
The two friends walked in a comfortable silence to the intermediate school until Clary asked, "Can I copy your homework?"
"Hell no." Jace said.
"Oh, well it was worth a try."
Once they made it back to their school, Clary and Jace got in their cars and went home. Clary noticed that Luke was silent and he looked kind of annoyed. She didn't say anything to him.
Mom and Luke must have had a fight. Yeah, that has to be it… Clary thought.
When they were home, Luke got out of his truck, slammed the door, and stormed inside. Clary hurriedly followed after him. She opened the door to her house and she heard her mom yelling.
"Get the hell out! I don't want you anywhere near our family. Tell Valentine that goes for him too!" Her mom yelled.
Valentine?
"Mom, calm down. I'm not even associated with dad anymore these days. I just wanted to see my little sister and mom. Speaking of little sister, where is Clary?"
Clary ran into the living room and gasped. Sitting down on the couch was her big brother, Jonathan. She hadn't seen him since she was seven! Now, five years later he was back.
"Jonny!" Clary ran into her brother's arms and laughed. "I missed you so much. Where have you been, Jonny?"
"Oh, I've been in California. It's beautiful there." He answered.
Jonathan had white hair, which Clary thought was incredibly unique, and dark eyes. Sometimes they looked entirely black.
"Mom, can I go to California with Jonny?" Clary asked her mom. But, she had a feeling she knew what the answer was.
Her mom's face was red from anger and yelling, she had her arms crossed and a disapproving look on her face. Luke stood next to her looking angry.
"It seems I'm not welcome here." Jonathan shrugged. "Oh, well." He stood up and made his way to the door.
"Wait, aren't you going to stay? Don't leave again!" Clary asked, tears brimming in her eyes. Jonathan gave her a small smile.
"I'll be in New York for a while. I'll come visit." He gave a pointed look to his mom and Luke. "If they let me."
"Get out." Jocelyn growled.
Jonathan wasn't fazed by her harsh words. In fact, he found it kind of funny. He waved goodbye and left their house. "I'm getting a restraining order, dammit. That monster is not coming back in this house."
"Monster? Mom, what's going on? Why do you hate Jonny so much? He's your son. You can't hate your own son." Clary said.
Jocelyn was taken aback by her daughter's words.
You can't hate your own son.
"Clary, go upstairs. Luke and I have to talk."
"But, mom-"
"Now."
Sending a final glare to her mother, Clary went upstairs into her room. Many questions floated through her head. Why did her mom not want Jonny around? Valentine? Oh, right. That's my dad's name. What ever happened to him?
She needed a distraction. On her bed, Clary opened up her laptop and logged into a chatroom. Someone in their school created a chatroom for the people in their school.

Clary sighed. Why was Jace always causing trouble!? She decided not to worry about it and wait till tomorrow to ask him at school.
