Sebastian stood just outside the main building and he was covered from head to toe in bright blue paint. Clary and Jace were in the window above him laughing their heads off, holding an empty bucket.
The group on the lawn burst out laughing as Sebastian stood there in shock. "That's what you get for kissing my girlfriend!" called Jace. Sebastian hurled a variety of insults at Jace, which mainly consisted of swear words. Jace high fived Clary and they ran from the window as Sebastian ran inside, furious.
5 minutes later Jace and Clary appeared on the lawn to much applause from the group. "Did you see his face?" said Jem laughing. "That was the best thing ever guys!" commented Maia. Jace and Clary grinned. "I guess you two sorted stuff out then" said Izzy. Jace nodded and took Clary's hand. "I was being an idiot. I'm sorry." he said apologetically. "Don't worry we all know you're an idiot!" said Cecily grinning. Jace made a face at her.
"At least Jace and Clary are back together" said Isabelle curling into Simon. They were lying on one of the couches in the leader's lounge that night. "Yeah. Sebastian is just a weirdo." said Simon. "Slimy, that's what Cecily calls him" said Isabelle. "She's right" said Simon. They lay there for a while in silence.
"Are you happy?" said Simon quietly. "What do you mean?" asked Izzy. Simon sighed. "It's just, this relationship. I mean, you're amazing. You're pretty and popular, and I'm just boring old me..." he said. Isabelle stroked his cheek gently. "Maybe I like 'boring old you'..." said Isabelle. Simon smiled a little. "Really?" he asked. Isabelle nodded. "I love you and nothing is going to change that" she said. He smiled and kissed her gently. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
Clary tried to block out the noise of the children and focus on her drawing. The art room was busy with kids running about, decorating their picture frames. She sat at an empty desk, sketchpad open at the drawing of a flower that she was working on. She let the pencil flow across the page, shading in the petals. "Impressive" said Magnus peering over her shoulder. "Thanks" she said blushing a little and closing the sketchbook. "Draw if you want to" said Magnus. "No, it's ok. I'll do some more later. We have a room of kids to deal with." said Clary gesturing to the kids.
"Morning!" called Jace walking into the art room and giving Clary a quick hug. "I thought you had a class this morning." said Clary. Jace shrugged. "I was supposed to, but Kaelie wanted them in to play volleyball, so I left them to it." he said. "Are you sure Kaelie wanted them or was it you she wanted?" asked Clary. "Me, but I'm taken" he said kissing her forehead gently. Magnus coughed. "Sorry" said Clary blushing. "I don't suppose you want to help the kids make picture frames?" asked Clary. Jace shrugged. "May as well, I don't have anything else to do" he said.
"Does Kaelie know about...me and you?" asked Clary as she and Jace passed out glue. "I don't know" said Jace honestly. "So she will probably try and get you to go back out with her" said Clary. "She already has. Several times. Or at least I'm pretty sure that's what she was trying to do." said Jace. Clary raised her eyebrows. "I ignored her, obviously! There's only one girl in my life now and that's you" said Jace smiling. Clary laughed.
"One girl? What about Cecily and Isabelle and Maia and Tessa and Sophie?" she said. Jace rolled his eyes. "We both know Isabelle, Maia, Tessa and Sophie are all taken and Cecily is as good as!" he said laughing. "Has Gabriel asked her out yet? They obviously really like each other!" she asked. "If he has, they are doing a good job at keeping it quiet." said Jace. Magnus coughed. "There are young children here. Could we maybe pass over the icky relationship stuff?" he said. Jace grinned. "Icky relationship stuff? What about you and Alec?" he said. Magnus rolled his eyes. "Alec and I is more than a relationship! We are forever!" he said indignant. Jace and Clary laughed.
Clary and Tessa were sitting at the side of a tennis court that evening. At dinner, Cecily, Will, Jace and Jem had decided they were going to have a tennis match and having nothing better to do, Clary and Tessa agreed to come. "Do they play doubles often?" asked Clary. "Sometimes. Will and Jem play doubles tennis at school and I think they just pull Cecily and Jace in because they are good opponents." said Tessa. "Jem said something about Will and Cecily playing mixed doubles" said Clary. Tessa nodded. "Will and Cecily play mixed doubles and Will and Jem play men's doubles. Jace just sort of plays wherever he's needed." she explained.
Clary watched as the ball flew back and forward between the two pairs. "They're both really good pairs" she said. "All of them are amazing. Jem's dad is a tennis coach and honestly between them, I think Will, Cecily and Jace play most sports!" said Tessa smiling. "How long have you and Will been a couple?" asked Clary. "About a year now. He asked me out last year at camp." said Tessa. "I heard you got locked in a room together" said Clary smiling. Tessa laughed. "Yes. Perhaps not the most romantic way to ask someone out, but I liked him anyway, so I said yes" said Tessa looking fondly at Will. Jem and Will cheered as they scored the first point. "Oh and prepare for a long game. They're going to be here all evening!" said Tessa.
It was now just after 11 and Clary was heading up to bed. Jem, Will, Tessa, Jace and Jace were still in the lounge chatting but Clary was feeling tired and had decided to head to bed. She stopped outside her doorway and fumbled in her pocket for the key.
"He doesn't really like you" said a voice from behind her. She spun round to see Kaelie, arms folded, leaning against the wall. "Can I help you?" asked Clary. "Jace. He doesn't like you. You're just his rebound. He'll be back with me soon. He's done this before. You're just another girl you know to him, he'll forget all about you when he's back with me!" said Kaelie.
"You're very confident that Jace will get back with you." said Clary trying not to get annoyed. Kaelie always had to interfere. "He will though. I know he will because he actually likes me. He is only with you to try and distract himself from me." she said. Clary was fed up of Kaelie.
"No. Jace will not get back with you Kaelie! And do you want to know why? It's because he likes someone else. And that person is me. And you're jealous. But I don't care. So will you please just shut your big mouth for one minute and listen! Jace and I are dating now, not as a rebound but because he loves me and I love him. And you are just annoyed that no-one likes you!" shouted Clary letting all her anger rush out.
Kaelie's face was angry and she raised her hand to hit Clary. The sound of flesh on flesh filled the corridor.
