Clary sighed as she ran a finger through her long, fiery red hair. Half an hour she thought. Half an hour until the Jace Wayland is taking me to the dance. Clary looked down at her bed. On it laid her dress, shoes, and accessories. Clary slipped the dress on. A beautiful, high low white dress with a ruffled skirt, and a light purple bow tied around.
Clary walked into the bathroom. Her hair curler was already hot and ready, so she started curling her hair into long, bouncy curls. To finish it off, she clipped a small, silver glittered medal flower clip onto her bangs. She looked over by the sink. There laid a small, black box. She hesitantly opened it. Inside was a beautiful, diamond necklace. I'll probably break this the first time I put it on. Clary sighed and put the necklace on, positioning it so it went right around her neck.
"You look beautiful." Clary turned around and saw her mother, Jocelyn, leaning on the door frame. Clary grinned and twirled around once in her dress. Jocelyn smiled, but then it instantly turned into a frown. "Cla-Clary, who are you going to this dance with again?" Jocelyn asked her. "A boy named Jace Wayland." Jocelyn's eyes widened. "What?" Clary asked her. "Nothing. Clary, put your shoes on and wait here. I need to give you something." Jocelyn hurried out of the bathroom and into her bedroom.
Clary shrugged and slipped her silver flats on. She checked her reflection once more in her mirror, only to be interrupted by her mom. "Clary, here. You might need this." Jocelyn handed her a tiny stone, with a marking on it, which seemed to glow in Clary's hand. "Mom, what is this? And what would I possibly need it for?" Jocelyn sighed. "What it is definitely not important. But, Clary, keep this at all times, and it will protect you." Clary laughed. "From wha-"
Clary was interrupted by the honking of a car. She looked out the window and grinned. "Jace is here, got to go!" Jocelyn smiled. "Go ahead." Clary grabbed her purse and stuffed the stone in there. She ran out the door over to the Lightwood's car. Clary opened the door and slid into the back seat.
"Hey Clary." Isabelle greeted her from the passenger seat. "Hi." Clary smiled back. She looked over at Jace, who looked like he just lost all of his friends. She glanced over at Isabelle, and raised an eyebrow. "It's his first dance," Isabelle explained. "He's nervous." Clary cracked a smile. She slid over by Jace. "Nice to see you, too." Clary said to him. Jace looked at her and smiled. "You look beautiful." He said. Clary blushed.
"Come on, lovebirds. We're here." Alec grumbled. Clary stepped out of the car with Jace. Jace put an arm around her and walked her in. She looked around and saw many people dancing and smiling. Playing loudly was Ke$ha's Tik Tok. What is there to be ''afraid'' of? She thought. "Come on" She motioned Jace towards the dance floor and grinned. "Let's dance."
