Y'all are really awesome :) Thanks for reviewing, favoriting, and following! PSA: I changed the story so that Jace wasn't Clary's first kiss because that seems kinda weird now that I'm thinking about it. Ya. Also if you look at the word should for long enough it'll look really weird which makes me uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay. I think we've had enough of this." When I look up ready to leave, I meet a pair of golden eyes.

I can't say I've had much experience with relationships.

There was that time two years ago when Simon and I tried to date. It felt too much like kissing a sibling and I broke it off with him. That was when we didn't speak to each other for two months and I felt really bad until he came to me and said he just wanted to be friends again. It was only a few months after that when he told me he had a slight crush on Isabelle Lightwood. There was also Jordan Kyle. Tall, tan, with brown hair and light green eyes he was really something to look at. But that's basically all I liked about him. He could be too aggressive sometimes and he never really appreciated my interest in art. We eventually just separated and he got back together with his ex-girlfriend Maia.

Jace was something different altogether. What was happening with Jace was hard to explain but I know that I didn't want another Jordan Kyle. If we got into the actual relationship stuff we would most likely find that we didn't actually like each other.

That's why I wanted a real relationship with Sebastian. He was good looking and had a personality that was hard to find, he was just one of those genuinely likable people (unlike a certain someone). While people adored and idolized Jace, Sebastian was the type of guy that people knew and were friends with. Not to mention that adorably cute accent.

There were things on my mind other than my love life as well. I had to focus on school and while I wasn't top in our grade, I still did like to get good grades and also appease my mother. I wanted to focus more on my artwork so that maybe I could get a scholarship to a good college. My mother also had a lot going on. She was getting more clients and had to spend more time working. Sadly enough, she was still 'friends' with Luke and seem to ignore any feelings they had for each other saying she was "too busy with me to start a relationship" whenever I brought it up. That woman can make up more excuses than any teenager I know.

My two short relationships certainly hadn't prepared me for this. I didn't know if making eye contact with Jace meant that I should say hi. I didn't know if we should act like we knew each other because Jace sure as hell wasn't sending any signals. As it turns out, I didn't even have to make a choice because Jace turned and put his arm around a pretty asian girl in our grade, Aline. From there I could pretty much assume that she was his date.

Even though I knew I shouldn't feel it, I couldn't help the pang of disappointment in my chest. He's seriously going on a date with another girl on the same day we just had sex? I don't expect him to never talk to any other girls, and I don't want him to actually like me but I thought he would have the decency to take a girl out a few days or even weeks later. The one comforting thought I had was that at least I still had Sebastian. Of course, that's assuming that he had any interest in me at all. I mean, even Simon had Isabelle! A feeling of loneliness washed over me and I was reminded of why I even started this with Jace.

I was broken out of my reverie as I saw Simon begin to get up.

"Thank God this is over. Let's get the hell out of here." He said stretching his arms over his head.

I take one last glance at Jace who was too busy laughing at something with Aline to even look in my direction. I felt like some pathetic girl vying for his attention and immediately told myself to stop overthinking this. Of course, just the opposite of this happened.

Once Simon drove me home I went to my room where I was left alone to think about everything that had happened today and the day before. I decided the only way to organize my thoughts was to write them down. I usually drew to express my feelings but instead I tore a sheet of paper from my drawing pad and sat down on my bed with a pen.

In my loopy cursive I wrote:

Reasons Why I Should Keep Having Sex With Jace Lightwood:

1. On a hotness scale of 1 to 10 he's around 82.

2. He's a great lay from what I remember so far.

3. He's not a douchebag all the time.

4. A teenage girl has certain needs.

5. I don't need to get involved emotionally.

Sadly enough, it took me a good five minutes to get past the first two. I like to keep it simple so I decided to stop the list there but on the back I wrote:

Reasons Why I Should Not Keep Having Sex With Jace Lightwood:

1. Sebastian Verlac.

2. I hate lying to my friends and family.

3. He still is a douchebag most of the time.

4. Sleeping with him makes me feel kind of slutty.

5. I barely know anything about him.

These were the things that lingered in the back of my mind but I avoided. Things were moving very quickly with Jace and dId knew I would have to see him tomorrow in English class. I felt a bit of dread because I didn't know what I would say to to him but underneath that I felt excitement. Yes, I said it, excitement. Jace was a mystery and exciting and he took an interest in me. Usually I only felt that excitement when I spoke to Sebastian. But things were new and unfamiliar, I wanted to figure Jace Lightwood out once and for all and I knew I would cross number five off of my list.

Yayy! This story is finally moving along lol. This one is a little longer than the last chapter and I'm actually pretty proud of it. Plus, y'all probably don't care but if I ever use a last name other than Lightwood for Jace please tell me because I almost did that here and had to correct it. Hate it? Love it? Please review!
