Sorry but I'm super busy and I only had time to write a really short one. That means I'll just have to make the next one longer!Thanks for the reviews, it really motivates me to write more.
I don't own Pride and Prejudice or The Mortal Instruments. -Aren't you just on the floor laughing? Such a fun disclaimer!
In the week after the party Clary became the epitome of what some would call a third wheel. Isabelle and Simon had a short visit with each other every day, but with the visit being just of a friendly persuasion, Clary was dragged along. When Clary tried to protest once, pointing out the fact that she was sure Simon and her would rather be alone together, Isabelle made a good point.
"Clary, even if you were gone, we'd never be alone," Isabelle said in response.
She had a point. They were often crowded by Jace or Kaelie, blending into the background. Well, Jace would blend. Kaelie would try to make herself known. She would say things so vapid and shallow it made Clary's temper boil. One day she strayed far across the line.
"So, Isabelle, tell me about your little town," Kaelie said, "Who here is worth my time? I'm sure you know all about the boys, being so pretty."
Yeah, like she'd care about any of the boys. Clary had been watching and from the looks of it, she only had eyes for one golden haired boy.
"Well Kaelie, it's a very small town and the boys here really aren't my type," Isabelle responded, only being civil for Simon's sake.
"Hmm, it doesn't seem like you have interest in any boys at all. And maybe you aren't any of the boys type. You do come from a very studious family," Kaelie said. If Clary was correct, she was using studious as a way to say her family was objectionable. Clary could see that Isabelle was trying to keep her temper in control. She could see through Kaelie's friendly façade. Clary really didn't have to keep her temper in control though.
"Well Kaelie, you're welcome to have a look around town for any boys who may actually have an interest in you," She said in recognition to Jace's indiscreet disinterest. He often brushed off any attempts she made at him, often right in front of anyone around. It certainly was all too appropriate for Kaelie's vile personality to be shot down that way but what did it say about Jace? That he'd never managed to learn benignity? Or just that he had good taste? He was still a mystery to Clary.
Kaelie gave Clary a look as if to say "who said you could talk?" and then turned back to Isabelle, practiced genial look plastered on her face. "Isabelle," she said, "You should come spend the night at Netherfield tonight. It's a beautiful place."
Isabelle's eyes quick flashed to Simon, who was in conversation with Jace, and back to Kaelie. And then it was like a light bulb went off above her head.
"I would," she said slowly, "But I'd feel bad. Me and Clary always hang out on Tuesdays and I'd feel bad to leave her so…"
Even though it was impressing her, Clary did not like where this was going.
"Oh," was all that Kaelie said.
" Hey," Isabelle said, face brightening, "Why doesn't Clary come along?"
Kaelie pursed her lips, "I guess she can."
"Okay Clary, lets go home and get our stuff. We'll be back." Isabelle said.
Clary felt like hitting Isabelle. A night with Kaelie, and possibly Jace, sounded awful.
Thanks for reading. I know that Isabelle was supposed to go and then get sick, causing for Clary to go see her. But I don't see how that wold work, Considering that they live two blocks away and Isabelle could just go home! So I plan on changing it a little bit... hope no one minds. I'm excited to write the next chapter!
Note- For anyone who might be interested, my friend and I are going to be writing a story on fiction press about two groups of psychic teenagers with strange powers. They fight an impending apocalypse while dealing with each others opposing personalities. It's going to be fun, with scares and laughs and a love pentagon. I know it seem unoriginal and cheesy but I'm trying to steer it towards becoming something good. The characters are already planned out and they all seem likable enough. I would really love it if anyone would check that out. The first chapter should be up either today or tommorow. My friend and I will each have a group and alternate chapters so see if you can guess which one's mine. Thanks!
