"What the hell? Let's go." I said. Jace dragged me out to the dance floor. You know, when I pictured this dance, I didn't expect it to be all grinding. Not that I was complaining! We were dancing-ish. We danced for a couple of song thenIzzy pulled me away, of the club.

"He has a girlfriend, or I like to call her the b-" Izzy hissed.

"That's okay I do not need to know what you call her and she dumped him!" I said. Her eyes grew really big.

"You're kidding?" She asked.

"No. She actually dumped him." I said.

"The only dated for like one day!" She said. "So, now you're dating him." She stated.

"What? No! We just danced." I said. "You were dancing with Jon."

"Dancing. Not grinding." She said with a smirk.

"It felt so good when h-" I started.

"I could of gone my whole life without hearing that, even the first part of that sentence was disturbing.." She said, gagging. "Well let's go, I'm tired and I don't trust you in there with my brother."

"Fine." I said. "And we were just dancing." I muttered. I said and walked next to her. "Let's get a smoothie!"

"At one in the morning?" She asked.

"Twenty-four hour smoothie bar." I stated pointing past the hot tub, to the smoothie bar. I ordered a 'Tropical Tango' smoothie and Izzy ordered a 'Strawberry Berry' smoothie. Luke got us this card that allows us to get free meals and beverages. Stellar. We muttered our 'Thanks' and walked off.

"Yummy, this is really good." I stated. Sipping my smoothie while walking towards our room.

"Shit." Izzy muttered.

"What?" I whispered. She pointed to Aline and Kaelie. "Izzy don't do anything." I muttered. But, of course she doesn't listen.

"Hey, Bitch." She said. "I heard you broke up with my brother."

"Yeah, like, so?" She asked with a flip of her hair.

"Well you guys like only dated for a like, a day." Izzy hissed. "Did you get a nice lay and that was it." Izzy spat.

"No." Aline said, sounding hurt. "Jace is a really nice guy, and I don't want to string him along like a little puppy. We're never going to see each other after the cruise anyways, and I just want to have fun, and all be friends." She explained. Deep.

"Oh." Was Isabelle's reply.

"Look, Clary, I'm your sister now and I sort of think that you don't really like me, so I'm sorry!" Aline said.

"Me to" I added.

"Aww...this is so cute." Izzy stated.

"Shut up." We said in union.

"Well, we better leave before I come back to my senses, and realize I hate you." Aline teased. I laughed soundlessly. Kaelie and Aline walked off. I wonder were there going.

"That was strangely nice of her. I'm really confused." Izzy said staring at the hallway the twins just walked down.

"You and me both." I said, peeking a quick glance at Izzy. "Whatever, I'm tired, I'm going to bed." I said.

"And I am right behind you." Izzy added. "Tomorrow were going to be in the Virgin Islands somewhere and were going to go shopping and sightseeing with boys and the twins. I'm super excited." I was two. Jace.

We got back to the room, got in our PJ's, set the alarm for eight(we were meeting everyone at eight-thirty) and went to bed.

The next morning we woke up to that annoying alarm clock noise, and to my surprise Izzy gets up first and turns it off, weird.

"Get up Clary; we have to be out of here in half an hour." Izzy said, coming over and sitting on my bed. I didn't move. "Clary, if you're not up by the time I'm out of the shower, I'll..."

"What, what will you do?" I asked.

"Just get up." Izzy said getting off my bed grabbing her clothes slamming the bathroom door. Someone's grumpy. She walked out in some light jean shorts and a blue tank top 15 minutes later. "Go."

So I went in the shower and re-appeared ten minutes later wearing black jean shorts and light pink tank. "Hey Iz? What are you wearing on your feet?" I asked.

"My flip flops. Something comfy." She replied. "You?"

"Probably, my-"

"Gladiator sandals?" Izzy finished for me. I liked wearing them.

"Yeah." I stated plainly, slipping my shoes on. She slipped on her flip flops. "Let's go." I said. We linked arms and, walked out the door.

We met Jace, Jon, Alec, Aline, Kaelie, Sebastian and Max on the deck. "Hey."Izzy and I chimed together. The all tiredly mumbled back their 'Hello's'.

We walked off the boat on the long dock, thing, and we were on the east side of the Virgin Islands. Alec, Aline, and Max were talking about...no idea. Jon caught up with me and Izzy and stole her away. Sebastian was escaping Kaelie's wrath and Jace came up to talk to me.

"So, were did you go to last night?" He asked. Oh, right I forgot to tell him I was leaving. I mentally slapped myself.

"Oh, Izzy came and said she was tired and that she didn't trust me-" Shit. I blushed and slapped myself mentally again for almost saying that she didn't trust me to be in there alone with him.

"Didn't trust me you to what?" He asked confusingly, as we kept walking down the strip of little shops.

"Didn't trust me t-to leave on my own." I said, really that's the best you could come up with; another mental slap goes to Clarissa Fray.

"O-okay then." He said raising one eyebrow.

"Yeah." I said. Awkward. I stopped and looked at a little booth and saw the prettiest necklace I've ever seen in my life. It was a silver chain with a detailed rose on it. It was beautiful. I walked up to it. Jace followed. "It's beautiful." I stated. I sighed. I walked away.

"So you're not even going to buy it?" Asked Jace.

"Nope." I said. He looked at me weirdly. "Our next port I suppose to have better little shop-things, so I'll wait."

He raised one eyebrow in confusion and shrugged. "Okay."

"So where are you planning on going to college/ university?" I asked trying to keep the conversation going.

"Ah...the one million dollar question." He stated. We kept walking a little bit behind the others.

"Why? You don't know where you want to go?" I asked.

"We'll I got accepted to Georgetown." He said plainly.

"That's a great school. Jon was also accepted." I said with enthusiasm.

"I also got accepted to Columbia." He said.

"Oh. My. God. I dream about going to that university." I said. Wow.

"Yeah, my parents want me to go to Georgetown to be closer to home but...i don`t know what in going to do." He said.

"There both really good schools." I stated.

"Won`t be long until your off to university." He said with a smirk.

"Don`t even get me started about that." I said. "I'm so panicky about not getting in to a good school."

"Jon tells me you really smart." He said. "You'll get into a good one." I looked away to hid my blush.

"What about Alec? Where is he going?" I asked.

"Georgetown. He wants to be closer to home." He said. Far ahead I heard Jon yell.

"Guys hurry up." Jon yelled.

"Coming!" Jace yelled. We walked a little faster to catch up with group.

"Were going down the next strip part but, if you guys want to go get some food, that's cool." Aline said.

"Well, I for one am Hungry." I said, rubbing my stomach.

"Me too." Jace and Izzy chimed together.

"I am to." Max said.

"Well, I'll walk down with Aline and Kaelie, 'cause I am not that hungry." Sebastian said.

"Yeah, I'm with him." Alec said.

"Well I'm hungry." Jon whined. I just stared at him. "What?"

"Let's go." I said.

We all walked down to find a place to eat. We walked around for about half of an hour and finally found a place that served burgers. Jon and Izzy ordered and sat down together. Well. Fine don't sit with us. Aww...it's actually really cute.

Jace came up behind me. "Come on let's go over and sit with them."

"NO!" I said. "Just let them eat together." I explained.

"I think you just want to eat with me."He said.

"Well, Max would be there so...no your wrong."

Just then Max walked up to us "Let's eat." He said. I walked over to a table with him and Jace.

I know that took longer to update and I'm sorry. Busy with school. I will try to update as quickly as possible. I also know that this chapter is shorter and I will try to make them as long as I can.
