It has been a week since she kissed Jace, it has been a week since she dumped her food on Sebastian and it has been a week since the fight with Izzy. Clary had tried to explain everything to Isabelle but she wouldn't listen. Everyday Clary approached Izzy and said sorry at least once. She has done it every day for the past week and she is going to continue to do it until Isabelle forgives her.
So today is Monday. The start of a new school week. How fun. Clary was determined to get Isabelle to forgive her, she was tired of sitting alone, and tired of the stares she got from sitting alone. Today Clary had her hair down in waves and her usual smoky eyed make up and dark lips. She was wearing her leather biker trousers, a plain white cami and her studded leather jacket, along with spike black heels. She went downstairs expecting another note from her mother, but to her surprise there is was, cooking breakfast. "Nice to see you here for once mum" Clary said making sure her mother understood how annoyed she was by her absence the past 2 weeks. "Clary, please don't, you know I was opening the gallery and I'm sorry that I haven't been her, especially on your first day" Clary just hugged her. As annoyed as she was with her mother, Clary had missed her these past 2 weeks and now she felt like she really needed the comfort after everything that has happened.

Jace didn't understand how he felt. At first he just wanted to add her to the list of girls he had dated, and he was going to rub it in that Clary had lost this little game – or whatever you would call it – but when he was sitting at that table and Sebastian told everyone what happened, and when Izzy had a go at Clary, he felt guilty. He had pretty much made Clary loose her only friend and made Izzy loose the only girl friend that she felt like she could trust. So generally when something like that happens you feel bad. He didn't know why he felt so guilty I mean she was really the one who initiated the kiss, all he did was brush lips with her a few times. Yeah he can admit that he wanted to do what Clary had done, but he didn't want to be the first to give in. When she ran away and left him standing there he felt hurt. Jace didn't know why. He kept telling himself that she was just a girl.
But if she was just a normal girl then why couldn't he get her piercing emerald eyes out of his mind, or see flashes of red and green in his dreams. Needless to say, Jace was confused. He always kept most of his emotions under lock and key. He always had a smirk or a blank look on his face; it always hid what he was feeling. Yet he felt like Clary could see straight through his façade and it scared him. He needed to talk to her about this. Or at least try to find out if she felt anything remotely the same to what he was feeling. But first, he had to talk to Isabelle and explain everything. Something he should have done a week ago.

Clary was walking through the school trying to find Isabelle for her daily apology when she bumped into something soft and skinny, dropping all her books and the persons welcome packet on the floor. "Oh my god! I am so sorry!" she exclaimed handing him his welcome packet "Don't worry about it, I was too busy looking at my map to see where I was going" the geeky boy replied. "I'm Clary, I started here 2 weeks ago" she smiled "Simon and well I started here today" the boy, Simon, grinned back at her. "Well Simon, why don't you sit with me at lunch, i'm not hard to miss am I?" she said pointing at her hair "besides" she continued "us newbie's gotta stick together!" He laughed, "Yeah sure Clary, I will see you at lunch, and hopefully before" he walked off down the corridor again leaving a grinning clary to carry on making her way to Isabelle.
Clary finally managed to reach Isabelle after pushing through masses of students. However too her surprise, the minute Clary appeared next to her, Isabelle pulled her in to a hug. "Clary I am so so sorry that I said all those horrible things to you! I feel so bad that you have apologised to me everyday and I didn't bother to listen, Jace explained everything to me and I'm sorry" Izzy spilled out. Clary laughed "Izzy its ok! I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have kissed him and I regret it" Izzy smiled, "good now lets go!" Clary and Izzy linked arms and walked into the history classroom.

Jace could not believe it when he saw Clary sitting there in history class, without her earphones in, talking to Isabelle. It made his guilt fade away just looking at how happy they both looked, especially Clary. Some people may think that his little crush on clary is purely infatuation, or that he hardly knew her and this was all too quick. But it isn't, yes he did admit it. There really was no point in hiding it. He obviously had a crush on Clary. Why else would he feel the way he does? Why else was that kiss the best kiss he had ever had. Why can't he get her out of his mind? Because he likes her. He really hated to say it. It meant that he didn't want to play her. It scared him. He was always scared of commitment and now all he wanted was to try a relationship with Clary.
Yet she hated him. She kissed him, yes. But he wasn't stupid. Just the look on her face at the lunch table last Monday and the way she ran away afterwards, telling him to forget about it. This all told him that she regretted it. And that hurt him. He didn't want her too regret it; he wanted her to feel the same way. He wanted a chance with her. To prove to her that he was better than Sebastian and to treat her better than he treated all the other girls and better than Sebastian had treated her, he even ignored Hannah today. Jace didn't want her. In fact he didn't want any of the girls that were at this school except for Clary. Jace thought that if he tried a relationship with her than he could see what his feelings were for her. He was scared. Of course he was, but he wanted to try, because he wanted the fiery little redhead. He wanted to call her his.
Jace made his way over to the table, which he shared with said redhead. As he approached he heard Izzy say to Clary "Daamn girl I can't believe I didn't say this before but you look totally smokin' today, good work!" Jace smirked "Yes Isabelle I couldn't agree more, looking hot fray." He winked at her and sat in his seat. Isabelle rolled her eyes and Clary smacked him round the back of the head, but she was blushing like mad. Which Jace thought was adorable. He grinned "Just can't keep your hands off me, can you, red?" She glared at him – if looks could kill, he would be a pile of ashes right now, "Shut it Lightwood" She turned to face the front as the teacher walked in and began the lesson.
Jace had to talk to her. Since Clary obviously wasn't going to look at him, he decided to write a note.
Clary we need to talk, it's important, toilets after this class? – Jace
He heard her give a small sigh, as if she knew what this was about, she probably did.
Ok Jace I will meet you there after class but this better be important because I'm not having my head bitten off by my maths teacher for something stupid – Clary
Trust me Clary I think you know what his is about – Jace
Jace heard her sharp intake of breath and he didn't get a reply. He just waited rather impatiently for the bell signalling the end of class to ring so he could talk to Clary.

To say that Clary was nervous was an understatement. Clary was scared. She knew that Jace was finally deciding to talk to Clary about the kiss now that she had made up with Isabelle. If she wasn't so busy worrying about what she was going to say then she would have thought it was kind of sweet that he waited for her to be happy again before questioning her. But then again, it just made her more confused in a way, why would he do that? Did he care about her? Did she care about him?
She really did not know. She knew that she felt something towards him. She must. He was all she thought about. She got butterflies if he so much as stared at her, and he could always make her blush, even if he didn't know it. He was in her dreams and her sketchbook, as creepy as that sounds it was just providing evidence for the one think that she did not want to admit; she liked Jace Lightwood.
Then the bell signalling the end of class rang. She mentally prepared herself for the conversation that she was about to have as she followed Jace through the halls and into the disabled toilets. Jace locked the door behind them and turned to face her. "Soo…
