A/N: Another chapter. Just to let you know, writing from Kaelie's POV slightly creeped me out. That's my story of the day. R&R, please.

Chapter Ten

~Clary~

I sat on top of the ledge, absently sketching a picture. Mom had been kissing someone? My first reaction had been ewww. I mean, she's my mom. And then I was angry. How could she be kissing someone when dad was still alive? It was totally-

"What're you drawing?" a voice asked suddenly. I shrieked and my notebook fell. Easily, Jace caught it and looked at it.

"No!" But it was too late.

"Is that me?" I blushed, my face as red as my hair, and nodded. "Damn, I'm sexy." Snorting, I snatched my notebook back and closed it.

Jace frowned at me. "What was that, Clary? Are you doubting my sexiness?"

"Poor Jace," I mocked and pat his hair. It was so freeing around Jace. I just forgot my troubles.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," he cried. "Not the hair." I stared at him, disbelieving. "What? It took me an hour to get it to this perfection." I kept staring. Was he joking?

"He's not kidding. He really did stay in the bathroom for an hour," Isabelle chimed in, coming up behind Jace.

"I didn't know guys did that," I admitted.

"Guys are just as vain as girls," Isabelle told me. "We're just more open about it."

"Whatever," Jace scoffed. "Are you coming over tonight?"

"Sure," I answered, after figuring out that the question was to me.

"Cool. I'm driving. Isabelle, get a ride home with Alex."

"I get it, I get it. You just want some time alone with your girlfriend," Isabelle said, smiling slying. "Right?" Jace and I froze. Girlfriend?

The first bell rang.

"Oh, the bell," I said nervously. "Well… uh… gotta go." I jumped down from the ledge and hurried off, mortified. Me, Jace's girlfriend? No way. Jace wasn't so distracting that I forgot that no guy would ever want me that way.

But… though my head knew better, my heart leapt at the prospect.

~Kaelie~

That bitch. How dare she come to town and then just take Jace away? She wasn't even that beautiful. Clarissa Fray needed to learn her place. And I would be the one to teach it to her.

I pulled out my cell and dialed a number.

"Yeah?" a gruff voice answered.

"Hey, baby," I cooed. "I need you to do something for me."

"Yeah?" Geez. Men and their caveman speech. If it wasn't so sexy, I'd be annoyed. But really. It was sexy. Deep, throaty and oooh, shivers down my spine.

"Get all the information you can about Clarissa Fray," I ordered. There was a grunt and then the dial tone sounded. I pouted for a second. He hadn't even said goodbye.

But then I was in a happy mood. Soon Fray would know her place and Jace would be all mine.

~Luke~

Shit. He couldn't get that kiss out of his head. Even if it was an accidental kiss.

No, he told himself. Focus. Jocelyn was Valentine's and no matter that they had been best friend's and he'd been in love with her, that was over.

It was over.

That's all he needed to keep reminding himself and it would all be good.
