Apparently, Simon was a vampire that could walk in the day. Jose's hands were shaking slightly as she shook hands with him, rays of sunlight shining directly onto them.
"Hey, I'm Simon, and right now, your life is getting better."
Clary shot him a look that read: 'Be nice'.
"Um, h-hi. I'm Jose." The youngest girl stuttered out. Seeing a vampire was unnerving itself, but seeing a vampire in the day? Acrobats were performing tricks in her stomach.
Simon, sensing her discomfort, quickly lead the way into Taki's. The filed into a booth, Jose on the end, next to Jace who was next to Clary who was next to Simon who was next to Izzy. Josephine opened up her plastic menu and made a face at the selections. Blood milkshakes and raw meat. Jace laughed and flipped a few pages on the menu, turning to a section was completely human food. Jose turned beet red and hid behind her menu.
"Order anything you want." Jace whispered by her ear. "Izzy and Simon are paying." Jose laughed a little and selected banana pancakes with a cherry milkshake. Clary, however, ordered the most expensive thing on the menu.
"For such a small girl," Simon started. "She could eat a cow."
Izzy muttered something under her breath that sounded like "she's already got a lion."
Jose sank a little further into her seat to hide her laugh.
"So Jose, tell me about yourself." Simon said, placing his hands on the table like she deserved all of his attention.
"There's not really anything interesting about me."
"What about your eyes?"
Jose was so used to her multicoloured eyes, that she sometimes had to force herself to remember most people had one colour.
"Mum had dark blue eyes, dad had light green eyes. I got a light blue eye and one dark green."
"Epic. Wished mine were like that. Not plain brown."
"They're not plain." Spoke Izzy instantly, turning a vivid shade of red. Simon looked proud.
"As you can see, the ladies love me."
Jace scoffed and Simon shot him a 'look'.
Wow. Everyone really likes Jace.
