A/N: Hey guys! Thanks soo much for reviewing! This is my first fanfiction so I never expected anyone to review. I will try to update every other Thursday, but maybe if you review it may motivate Berenice and me to write! (: Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter! (I may update every Thursday, but no promises. It depends on school and homework.)*disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters. I only own the story line. (: Chapter 2
Ah. Lunch time. This meant that the day was halfway over with. Jace walked into the cafeteria and looked around before sitting with all his friends. Kaelie sat by him and started talking about the fair on Friday. What was so special about the damn fair on Friday? Maybe it was the bonfire at the beach afterwards? Yeah that had to be it.
"Damn. She is too fine." Jace heard Sebastian Verlac say to the other football players. Jace didn't really care about what they were saying until he saw familiar bright, curly red hair. Were they talking about Clary?
"Hey. Who are you talking about?" Jace asked and prayed it wasn't Clary.
"Clary Fray. Jonathan's little sister." Daniel, the team's receiver, piped from the chair across from Jace.
Jace felt anger building up inside on him as he listened to their conversation.
"Yeah. I'm going to ask her to go with me to the fair and then the after party." Sebastian stated.
She won't say yes."Jace said loud enough for Sebastian to hear. He turned his head to look at him just as Sebastian asked "How do you know? Did she tell you that or did Jonathan?"
"Neither. I just know." He replied.
"Since when do you know Clary so well? Huh? You two hate each other? Why do you even care? You have Kaelie. Clary is MINE!" Sebastian said, almost yelling and drawing attention to them.
That's when Jace had enough. He didn't know what came over him, but the next thing he knew was Sebastian lying on the ground, holding his jaw. A teacher, Mr. Goodman rushed over and started yelling at Jace.
"Mr. Wayland. You have detention for the next week." He said and went to check on Sebastian, who finally got up off the floor and was walking to the nurse's office.
Jace looked around and immediately found her bright red hair. She was staring at him with a weird expression in her face. What was she thinking about? he thought. That's when she turned around and walked out of the doors
Why did Jace jump Sebastian like that? Clary thought, trying to catch up with Sebastian in the nurse's office. She couldn't help, but think of what Jace would have done if Mr. Goodman hadn't showed up.
"Hey Sebastian!" Clary said remembering where she was.
"Hey Clary. Did you see what happened back there?" He said hoping the incident would make her angry with Jace.
"Yeah, I did." She said feeling bad. "Why did Jace jump you like that?"
"Oh. Well, I was talking to my friends about how I was going to ask you if you wanted to-um- go to the fair with me and then to a part afterwards." He said as he blushed, but he continued on. "Then Jace just jumped on me and the next thing I know is that I'm on the floor with Jace on top of me." He finished, leaving out the part about Clary being his.
"Well he had no right to do that! Look at how he left your face!" She said, but couldn't help but grin at the thought that Jace punched Sebastian for wanting to ask her out. She touched his bruised face, and he flinched. She pulled her hand back quickly, and he smiled at her. She couldn't help but put on a fake smile for him.
"So," He said trying to keep his cool. "What do you say? Wanna go to the fair and party with me?" He asked hopefully.
Well, Jace is going with Kaelie, so what the hell? Clary thought.
"Um, ok." She said, as she put on her best smile, trying not to make him feel worse than he already did.
"Great!" He said with a big smile on his lips. "I'll pick you up at six."
"Ok." She said with a smile. "See you later then."
"Yeah. See you later." He said with a big smile on his face.
She walked out of the nurse's office, wondering what Jace's side of the story was. Where was Jace? She wondered. As she was walking back to the cafeteria with her eyes on the floor, she ran into something hard and almost fell backwards until a pair of strong arms grabbed her around the waist to stop her from falling. She gasped and realized who the arms belonged to.
"Let go of me Jace." She said. "I don't want to talk to you right now."
"Why so mad all the sudden? Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to be in my arms?" He teased with a small smile on his gorgeous lips.
"I'm serious Jace." She warned.
"Fine." He said, as he released her. "So. Why are you so mad?"
"Why did you jump Sebastian like that?" She asked. "You could have really hurt him."
"I had my reasons, ok?" He didn't bother looking at her.
"Really? Because Sebastian said it was because he wanted to ask me to go to the fair with him. That's not a good reason to punch him! What's wrong with you?" She said, anger building up inside of her.
"He only told you what he wanted to tell you!"He spat back. "Have you ever thought that there was more to the story? More than what he told you. Have you thought about that Clary?" He yelled angrily.
"If there's more to the story why don't you tell me?" She asked.
"He said you were his Clary. Like he owned you!" Jace said, his anger falling back into place. "And as I recall you don't belong to anyone. I thought I was doing you a favor." He continued not wanting to look at her expression.
"Why do you care? You hate me." She asked.
Before he could answer he heard footsteps behind her and looked over her shoulder as someone approached them. He was relieved he didn't have to answer her until he realized who it was.
"Nice to see you again Wayland." Sebastian said sarcastically. You could now see that there was a huge bruise where Jace punched him.
"Don't try to be sarcastic with me Verlac!" Jace said.
"Whatever Wayland." He turned to Clary and said, "Since we're going to the fair and party together I wanted to give you my number."
"Okay." She looked in her purse for a piece of paper and a pen. "Okay, I'm ready." A couple of seconds later she put the piece of paper back in her purse and was getting ready to give him her number when he said "Oh don't worry. I already have your number."
"Um. How do you have my number already?" She asked, her brows furrowing in confusion.
"He's a creepy stalker! That's how he has your number!" Jace said.
"No! That's not the reason you douche!" Sebastian said quickly. "Your brother gave it to me." He smiled.
"Oh." Clary said, wondering why her brother gave her number to Sebastian. It's not like she went around giving his number out.
After a long silence Sebastian finally said "Come on Clary. Let's get back to the cafeteria before lunch is over."
"Okay. I'll be there in a minute." She said. Sebastian looked like he didn't want to leave her. "It's okay. Go on ahead."
"You know that's not the way he got your number. Jonathan doesn't give out your number like that." Jace said once Sebastian left.
"It was kind of creepy." She said.
He laughed. "Ya think? He's weird!"
"Yeah. He kind of is." She laughed and he joined in with her. Were they getting along? She wondered.
"Are you going with him on Friday?" He asked, secretly hoping she said no.
"Well yeah. I mean I already said yes, plus I really want to go to the fair." She said.
"Oh. Well, you should get back to the cafeteria." He barely missed the flicker of hurt cross her face. "Wouldn't want them thinking something's going on."
"Yeah. Wouldn't want that. Well Bye." She said before turning on her heel and walking towards the cafeteria.
"Bye Clary." Jace yelled before she walked into the cafeteria. She turned and smiled before walking in.
"What was that all about?"Isabelle asked as Clary sat in her seat by Simon.
"Well Jace, being the ass he is, went and punched Sebastian for making a stupid comment." She said. Isabelle, Simon, and Jonathan looked at her as if telling her to go on. So she did. A minute later she heard Isabelle sigh and nod her head in disappointment.
"What?" Clary asked staring at Isabelle in confusion.
"That hot guy over there. You see him?" She asked pointing at Sebastian. "He asked you out and you don't even sound happy!" She exclaimed looking at Clary in disappointment and confusion.
"I'm sorry. It's just something he said in the hallway creeped me out." She said quietly.
"What?" Jonathan asked, concerned.
"You didn't give him my number did you?" She asked him.
"No. Why?" He asked.
"He said he already had my number and I asked how and he said he got it from you. " She said, nervously.
"Oh God." Jonathan said, angry.
