Thank you to everyone that followed, favorited and reviewed! Please give me more insight and I'll try to update everyday.

I couldn't believe it. She was talking to me, asking me something but all i could focus on were her lips, her eyes, her freckles. I realized she stopped talking and sat there, waiting. It took me a second to realize she was waiting for me to reply to a question i didn't quite get.

"Oh. Wait, what was the question again?" I stammered.

She opened her mouth but right before anything came out, Jace sauntered over and pulled Red-head off her chair and shoved his mouth onto hers. She was caught off guard but went along with it, just for a second but enough for me to get the hint. She pulled away and smiled at Jace.

"You can't always be doing that" she giggled.

"Well, you are my girlfriend." I noticed the emphasis he put on that last word. She turned around and picked up her chair and stacked it with the rest of them in the corner of the room. I didn't notice myself staring at her until i felt someone staring at me. I look up and Jace is staring at me, a look of both curiosity and anger. I look away quickly. I've dealt with a few guys like him at my old school. I don't want to deal with someone like him in this part of my life.

Red-head came back and grabbed Jace's hand. She turned to me. "I'll see you later... Um, i didn't get your name."

"Jason" I reply with a smile.

She smiled back. "I'm Clary."

At that, her and Jace made their way to the door of the room. She turns her head and smiles at me one last time before they completely leave the room.

I definitely didn't want to involve myself with Jace but I HAD to know more about Clary. I grab my phone from my pant pocket and dial my mom's number.

"Hello?" My mom's voice is the sweetest thing you can hear. Everyone has adored my mom. She's the one that always helps you out no matter what trouble you've gotten yourself into, the one that has cooked a feast whenever my friends would come over to my house. I wasn't surprised when my parents told me that she was the one that wanted to leave this kind of life behind those 16 years ago. A sweet thing like my mom wouldn't get herself involved in a life with someone like Valentine was ruling in.

"Hey mom, class just ended so I'll be over at Jackson's house."

"Of course. Tell him and his mother I said hello." She hung up. I put my cellphone away while getting up. I looked around and I still couldn't believe this is the life I'll be living in. I made my way out the door and out the Institute. I saw Jackson's beat up SUV across the street. Jackson was my best friend since 3rd grade and the only person I've told about my "secret life" so naturally I told him about Clary. I told him about Jace and his arrogant self and how me and him didn't get off on a good start.

"I say you go after this chick! Who cares what this Jacester guy says." Jackson wasn't good at advice but I was definitely going to take this advice.
