A/N: Alright. Hello, folks. Kathy's back! So, well, the action starts. And so does Clace! Okay, as I said before. After this, an update and a one-shot per month, due to school work, and the awful temper of my oh-so-lovely parents. *cough* Oh, and BTW, am in Indonesia now! Anyway, on with the story!
Disclaimer: Even though it hurts to say it-
Izzy: Kathy doesn't own us!
Me: Where did you come from?
Me: Hello? Damn her, she just pops in and says it. And disappears again.

Right in front of me are those wild, blood thirsty ducks, paddling innocently in the pond.
"Aww." Clary sighed. "They look adorable."
I wrinkled my nose.
"They're rabid, bloodthirsty creatures."
Clary frowned, but was interrupted before she could say anything.
"I think that this is the Leisure park. It says so on the map." Simon announced. "It said, and I quote 'a spot filled with trees and plants for the relaxation of students.' It's main feature is the duck pond."
"Are you sure?" Izzy asked.
"Positive."
Clary reached into her messenger bag, and retrieved her ultra secure smart phone. She then proceeded to scan the map, and tapped the screens rapidly. Then, a beep resonated through the air, followed by a cool voice.
"Turn around. Walk until you reach the parking lot. Turn towards the residential wing."
"There." Clary said, satisfied, and started walking back according to the instructions. I looked around carefully, sent a last hostile look at those bastard ducks, before stalking off silently to join her. We soon arrived at the residential wing.
"Alright." Clary shut her phone off and stuffed it into her messenger bag. "I think I've got the whole thing under control." She pointed towards the tallest building. "We have the whole top floor to ourselves. Lemme see." She flipped her book. "Aha! It says here that we can decorate our rooms to our own liking. See ya around, boys. Izzy and I have some shopping to do." She ran off quickly, Izzy close behind her heels. Soon after that, he heard an engine rev, and tires squealing.
"So, what do we do?" Simon asked to clear the awkward silence.
"Stalk the girls." I said simply, and walked coolly to the general direction of the parking lot, hands in pocket.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We just bought stuff and decorated and painted our rooms. The end product is very satisfactory. My room is painted a calming silver, with navy blue swirls decorating the entire wall. Other than that, I decorated it like my room in the condo. Izzy's room was a light gold color, with hot pink sponge marks all over. And her walk-in closet is stuffed with new designer clothes. Simon's room is a navy blue color, with no bed, just a fluffy mattress on the floor with a pillow fort around it. His every walls are lined with wooden shelves filled to the brim with comics, mangas, and video games. There is a gigantic flat screen in his room, along with an Xbox and Playstation and Wii. Simon turned the walk in closet into video game storage. Jace's room however, is just a plain cream color, with simple furnishings. He transformed his walk in closet into a mini library, complete with the couches and bean bags Izzy insisted he installed. Izzy had claimed an empty room as a makeover room, another as music room. That leaves two rooms for guests. See how big our penthouse is? I like Simon's room best, and plan to barge in everyday just to play Halo and World of Warcraft. I don't care id he minds or not. Speaking of that, I banged on the door of Simon's room.
"SIMONNNNN!" I yelled. "I WANNA PLAY HALO!"
He opened the door immediately.
"Really?"
I nodded. "Bring it on, nerd boy."

I heard giggles and moans from Simon's room and decided to investigate. What I found was the most funniest thing. Clary tap danced gleefully around the room, giggling and waving a game controller in the air, while Simon had his head in his hands, moaning pathetically. I looked around, and discovered the cause. Halo was paused on the TV. So, Rat Boy lost to Clary, huh. No big deal.
"And you said you rock at Halo." Clary panted.
"I really do rock." Rat Boy protested. "You were just better."
Clary smirked. "I'm good at everything, baby. Am going to find Izzy now, it's nice playing halo with you." She winked. "And next time, I'll bring Izzy." Simon blushed at Izzy's name. "Later!" She called as she walked out. After a while, she ran out of Izzy's room, pillow in hand, and her shirt rumpled. Izzy came running after her with a pillow. She shrieked, and picked up a pillow from the couch and threw it to me.
"PILLOW FIGHT!" Izzy declared, and Simon rushed out with two pillows. It turned into an all out pillow fight. Clary smacked Izzy's face, who in turned smacked Clary back so hard she stumbles into me. Then she turned, and whacked my cheek, laughing like a kid, before running off to get revenge on Simon. Izzy threw a pillow at me, which I caught, and threw back, catching her off guard and causing her to tumble down and disappear behind a couch.
"For clary!" I called.
"Thanks Jace." Clary smiled at me. "That was so sweet." Then she threw her pillow, it smacked me square in the face. Simon tip toed behind Clary, then whacked her hard with a pillow.
"For my lost Halo game!" He crowed, but was cut short as Clary swept hi legs out from under him, and whacked him multiple times with a pillow.
"KO!" Clary whooped, nudging Simon with her pillow. True to her words, Izzy knocked her head on the table in front of the couch, and is out cold. Simon hit his head on the floor, and is also knocked out.
"Guess it's you and me now, huh?" I smirked.
In reply, Clary yelled.
"EAT MUFFINSSS!" (A/N: See that? A reference to the Kane Chronicles. Go Bast! Go cat lady! Go go go! Go Sadie/Isis! Go Carter/Horus! *cheers loudly*)
In my stupor trying to figure out her weird battle cry, she launches herself at me, and together we tumbled to the floor, with Clary straddling me. She raised her pillow, but I pulled her down on top of me. She blushed when she realized what I was doing, and wiggled out of my grasp, avoiding my eyes.
"My head hurts." She said in a small voice. "I'm going to sleep now." And she turned and sprinted away, face as res as a tomato.

Damn it. Damn it all. Why am I feeling giddy when Jace's around? Damn it. Why do I have to feel like that? Damn you, butterflies-in-stomach. I hate you, stop fluttering in his presence! Ugh. I feel all weird and giddy. There. I've made a solution to my problem.
A.) Avoid Jace like the plague
B.) Await furthermore reactions from butterflies.
Okay, time to act on Choice A.

Ugh. Do you have any idea how hard it is to avoid someone living in the same place as you? I put on black clothing to blend in with the night, slung a black backpack over my shoulderq and tip toed out of my room.
"Coast clear?" I spoke softly into the walkie talkie, Simon and Izzy has decided to help me. Simon joined since he wants Izzy's approval.
"All clear, nin nin." Simon's voice crackled back.
"Nin nin, seriously? What are you, a ninja?" Izzy chimed in.
"Yep." Simon chirped.
"Okay. Stop. I can go eat, right?" I interrupted.
"Yes." Izzy and Simon chirped in unison.
"Good. Over, nin nin." I whispered, and walked softly into the living room, using my super assassins skill to blend into the shadows. If Jace catches me,my face would heat up so much that I'll become grilled Clary. Thinking so, I tucked my red hair further back into my black hoodie, and kept my face down. I lurked in the shadows for a while, before deeming it safe, and running full speed towards the fridge. I gathered everything I could reach, cartons of milk, cheerios, nutella, peanut butter, bread, jam, canned soup, and ran back to my room as i heard a soft, confused voice called, "Clary?"
I made it to my room, and opened the mini fridge Simon lent me, stuffing everything inside. I gave a satisfied sigh as I pulled a spoon and a glass bowl out of a wooden cupboard on the floor, that Izzy had given me to keep dishes and plates. Yep. I planned to avoid Jace, even though it meant staying in my room all week. I can't allow my heart to be broken again. This is all love does to you, make you crash
and burn.

Phew! That was tiring. I betcha didn't expect this whole Clary-avoids-Jace scenario! Don't worry, Clace will always prevail! Clary will come to it eventually, as I'll use my super author powers to knock some sense into that red head of hers. Review! They motivate me to write faster, and thus, update faster!
Peace out,
Kathy~
