First of all, I just want to thank all of my readers! I'm already at six reviews in the first, like, 24 hours I've had this up! I will try to update whenever I have free time. That happens to be often because I have no life :D
***I also want to say that I forgot to say the principal's name. It's Mr. Wayland. Yes, Jace's dad.***

I got home and decided to take a shower to clear my head. I had heard about Jace. He was a big player and I couldn't get wrapped up in someone like that. I put my clothes back on and went to the kitchen to get a snack. I put in my headphones and sang to the song, raiding the fridge.
"I fought it for a long time now
While drowning in a river of denial
I washed up, fixed up, picked up
All my broken things
'Cause you left me
Police scene, chalk line
Tequila shots
In the dark scene of the crime
Suburban living with a feeling
That I'm giving up
Everything for you
(For you)
Oh, oh, oh
How was I supposed to know
That you were oh, oh, over me?
I think that I should go
(Go!)
Something's telling me to leave
But I won't
'Cause I'm damned if I do ya
Damned if I don't" I sang.
"Clary, can you do this when I don't have people over?" I heard Jonathon say behind me.
I turned to see him and about eight other extremely attractive guys from my new school…including Jace. They must be from the football team.
I laughed, not embarrassed that they just caught me singing to myself. "It would've been nice to have a warning. I see you made the team."
"Yeah. We're just going to get some food and go to my room."
"Okay. And Sebastian might come over later so don't wait up to get dinner," I replied. I walked into the hallway, but stopped just outside of my room.
"Dude, you're sister is hot," I heard a voice say.
"Ugh, please don't say that," Jon replied. I went into my room and shut the door. My phone flashed up. One missed message.
Hey. Finished early. On my way to ur house. See ya soon ~Seb
I smiled to myself and sprinted to the door when I heard the bell ring.

So Clary was Jonathon's sister? This was going to be harder than I thought. We got to his room and everyone started into a conversation about girls, or football, or something else I wasn't listening to.
"Hey, uh, I'm gonna go get some water," I said awkwardly.
I stepped out into the kitchen and saw Clary open the front door and guide a familiar tall, brown-haired guy to the couch.

I kissed Sebastian on the lips and sat down.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey," I replied.
"I, uh, wanted to talk to you about something."
"Okay. What is it?" I asked , still energetic.
"Me and Kaelie have been… hanging out lately."
"Okay? Why are you telling me this?"
"Never mind. Forget I said anything," Seb whispered and leaned forward, lips puckered.
"Wait. I want to know. What were you going to say?"
"Just forget it," he said.
"I can't when you just brought it up! I don't know what to think now, except the worst."
"Listen, we'll talk tomorrow. I have to go." Sebastian got up and walked out the front door. I huffed. He was there five minutes and they already had a fight.
"He's sleeping with her, you know," a voice said behind me. I jumped and turned to see an amused Jace.
"God, Jace. You scared me."
"Your ignoring the fact that your boyfriend is sleeping with Kaelie," he said.
"What?" I asked "He wouldn't do that."
Jace laughed. "There is a lot of things you don't know about Sebastian."
"You know him?" I was confused.
"We go back."
"Anyway, I'm going to go get started on our report. I'll see you tomorrow," I stomped back to my room and fell asleep crying.

I woke up a little early, so I decided to walk to Java Jones to get a coffee. As I walked in, I saw Sebastian sitting at a table with Kaelie. I walked over to the table and they looked up.
"Wayland? What are you –"
"Listen, you better tell Clary, or I will," I said and stalked away.
O.o.O
I pulled into the parking lot and saw Clary sitting with my friends on a picnic table. As I approached, they all turned around.
"Hey! I invited Clary to hang out with us!" Isabelle screamed.
I winced. "Okay. That's fantastic, but you don't have to yell. But, can I have a moment alone with Clary?" I said and winked at Jordan.
"Yeah. Sure."
Once they all left, I turned to Clary. "Good morning!" I said cheerfully.
"What do you want, Jace?" she asked.
"I'll pick you up at eight tomorrow night."
"For?" Clary asked suspicious.
"Our date."
"I don't remember being asked out on a date," she said.
"It was implied."
"Well, I have a boyfriend,"
"By the sounds of your fight last night, I don't think you do," I replied.
"It was just a fight."
"Most girls would be thrilled to go on a date with me."
"I'm not most girls," Clary alleged. She grabbed her bag and walked into the school before I had time to say anything else. Once again, Clary Fray had stunned me.

I walked into class –the one I was dreading the most. The one with Jace.
"Howdy," he said when I sat down. I ignored him. "Change your mind yet?"
"Not a chance. I have a boyfriend. I already told you that," I replied.
"Yes, and he has two girlfriends. I already told you that."
The rest of class, the only time I talked to him was when I had to. We decided our report subject and that I would go to his house after school to work on it.
During lunch, I was totally silent. Izzy invited me to go to her house the next Saturday, so I said I would.
My next class was health. Ugh, it was always so awkward. When I walked into the room I noticed something that I hadn't the day before. Jace sitting in the back corner. And the only open seat happened to be right next to him.
"What a coincidence," he said when I sat down.
