Chapter 3: Jinxed

Jace sat at the breakfast table. His hair was a rat's nest and he had dark circles under his eyes. Alec walked in and saw Jace and jumped. "Whoa, did you get hit by a truck? I didn't see anything on the news."

"Shut up, you don't even watch the news," Jace groaned.

Clary walked in, she saw Jace and her eyes widened, "Wow."

Jace muttered, "Don't say anything."

Isabelle walked in and her eyes went to Jace, "What happened to you?"

He stood up, "Do you all want to know what happened?"

"Yes," everyone said.

Jace said, "I was up all night wondering if Isabelle and Clary were in some kind of relationship." He collapsed back into his seat.

Clary and Isabelle's mouths fell open. Alec started laughing, "Awesome, beautiful! This is amazing. I love this." Everyone glared at him, "I'm going go now." He walked out of the room giggling.

Clary sat down next to Jace. "That's what you thought? That's really funny. Oh wow. Isabelle is my best friend, not my girlfriend!"

Jace narrowed his eyes, "Prove it." She rolled her eyes and pressed her lips against his. Clary pulled away after a minute and smiled at him.

"Well?" Clary asked fluttering her eyelashes at him.

He grinned. "I'm not too sure."

"I'm going to smack you," Clary said still smiling.

"Anytime you want babe," Jace winked.

Isabelle groaned. "You're such a pervert."

Jace ignored Isabelle. "So, what are we doing today?" He put his arms around Clary's waist.

"Well you are going to take a shower, and then we are going on a double date," Clary said taking his hands off his waist.

Jace sighed. "Aww, I hate double dates, I never know what to do. And everyone's hogging you."

"Maybe it's because I'm interesting to talk to," Clary said flashing him a smile.

Isabelle raised an eyebrow. "Jace, you stink, go take a shower."

"Fine, whatever," Jace said unhappily. He walked out and upstairs.

Twenty minutes later Jace walked downstairs, Isabelle was sitting at the table. "Hey," Jace said. "Where's Clary?"

"She went home to get ready for our double date."

"YOUR DOUBLE DATE! She's my date!"

"No, you idiot, you and Clary are double dating with me and Simon," Isabelle rolled her eyes.

Jace said, "Whatever. When is she going to be back?"

Alec walked in. "I don't know. She's a girl, they take a while."

Izzy raised an eyebrow at him. "So do you."

He blushed, "Don't compliment me."

"Hey, Alec. You should invite Magnus for a triple date." Jace said grinning.

"Oh, he wouldn't want to go," Alec said with a "Pssh".

Jace grabbed Alec's phone and went to Magnus's number. "Oooh. He's on speed dial." He hit a button. "Okay, it's ringing." He threw the phone to Alec. Alec caught it.

Alec said talking into the phone, "Oh, hey Magnus. I was just wondering if you would want to go on a triple date with Simon, Iz, Jace, and Clary." A pause. "Yes, Jace will be there, why do you care?" Aother pause. Alec said in an angry voice, "What do you mean it doesn't matter? You just asked! Oh, we are going to talk about this at the date." A pause. "Don't try to make me feel better by saying perverted things." He giggled. "Okay then. Bye."

Jace and Isabelle were both giving him a weird look. He glared at Jace, "Why does he want you there?"

Jace shrugged, "I don't know, Dudette, I don't wanna know either."

"Did you just call me an elephant booger?" Alec asked narrowing his eyes. Jace laughed nervously, Clary walked in. "Clary!" He ran to her and dipped her, kissing her.

Alec whispered to Isabelle, "Did he just dramatically kiss Clary so he wouldn't have to answer my question?"

"Yes," Izzy said.

Jace pulled Clary back up. She was staring at him with wide eyes. She smacked him lightly. "What did you do that for?"

Jace grinned at her, "You were here, I was here, it seemed like the thing to do." He winked. "And now I know now you still wub me."

"You better watch yourself Lightwood," she said messing with the buttons on his shirt.

"If you want me to take my shirt off, you could've just said so." He started unbuttoning his shirt.

"Jace, stop it for Pete's sake!" Isabelle screeched covering her eyes. Alec wasn't arguing but suddenly he agreed with Izzy.

Clary looked a bit interested, but then realized everyone was staring at her and said, "PSH Jace, wait till were married."

Isabelle rolled her eyes, "I'm so happy that me and Simon aren't like you two. I wouldn't want to be such a weird couple."

Jace and Clary said at the same time, "HURTFUL."

Alec held back a giggle. "That's weird."

Magnus walked in, his hair had a streak of purple and was glittered and gelled up. He wore some skinny jeans and a sparkly collared shirt. "So, what are we doing today?"

Alec gave him a small smile. "Well... I don't know." He turned to Jace and Clary. "What are we doing?"

Clary held up 6 tickets, "Well, I scored some tickets to a baseball game and then we are going to a fancy restaurant."

"How did you know Alec and Magnus would come with us?" Izzy asked.

She shrugged, "Common sense?"

"When's the game?"

"2:30."

Magnus sat down, "So we got like 2 hours to kick back and relax."

Isabelle butted in, "But we have to get Simon or this isn't a triple date."

Jace asked, "Where is Simon?"

"His house," Isabelle and Clary said at the same time.

Alec gave Magnus a look, "That was weird."

"JINX!" They said again. "DOUBLE JINX! TRIPLE JINX!" They glared at eachother. "KNOCK ON WOOD!" Clary said. Isabelle stopped talking. "No one say her name, I jinxed her."

"Why can't we say her name?" Jace asked.

"If you say her name, then she can talk," Clary explained.

"So, she can't talk?" Jace asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes," Clary mumbled.

"Awesome, then I can do this," he went up to the silent Isabelle and poked her cheek. "Poke, poke, poke, poke! Ha, she can't say anything about it!"

"But, she can do something about it," Alec said right as Isabelle's fist connected with Jace's stomach. Jace fell on the ground holding his stomach.

"You are a terrible person," Jace wheezed to Isabelle. She smirked.

Alec asked, "Who are we seeing anyway? Yankees, Mets?"

"We're going to see the Yankees," Clary grinned.

Jace stood up, "Awesome then I got to get my mitt. Who are the Yankees playing?"

"The Orioles?" Clary said.

"Then I got to get my Orioles hat and foam finger."

"Why? I thought your fave team was the Yankees?" Magnus said in horror.

Jace shrugged, "They are but I always go against the home team."

Alec sighed, "Let's go get Simon, Izzy call him..." Alec realized what he did and everyone gasp.

Isabelle yelled, "Yes!" She kicked Jace in the stomach and he fell with an oof.

Jace asked, "What was that for?"

"I don't like being touched."

Magnus mumbled, "You and Simon will have some problems..." Isabelle glared at him. "JK! JK! JK! I'm kidding, chillax bro." Isabelle stuck her foot out. "It's all good; don't kick me I'll fall on my own." He fell to the ground. "Ow."

Clary glared at Alec, "This is all your fault. You shouldn't have said her name!"

"But I said her nickname!" Alec argued.

"It doesn't matter!"

Jace became aware no one cared about his pain. "Yep, I'm just here lying on the floor in pain, while my girlfriend argues with my brother, and my sister argues with my brother's boyfriend. It's not like it matters."

Magnus and Isabelle said at the same time, "OH STOP being such a baby." They realized. "JINX! DOUBLE JINX! PERSONAL JINX!" Isabelle yelled, "KNOCK ON WOOD! HA!" Magnus sighed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Magnus gave an insulted look. He snapped his fingers in a Z-formation and walked to the fridge.

"So, should we go get Simon?" Isabelle asked.

"Kay," Alec said and they walked out of the kitchen leaving Magnus staring at the fridge.
