"No Kieran! Put that down!" called Clary as one of the campers began to chuck paper mache at the wall. She sighed. Magnus was ill and there were no spare leaders so she had to deal with 30 kids on her own. "Sit down!" she shouted as two girls began running round the room. "GUYS!" shouted a voice commandingly. The campers stopped talking immediately. Clary saw Jace leaning against the doorway.
"Listen up. You can either stay here and do your crafts quietly and calmly or you can do some cross country training with me. Any takers for cross country?" he said. No hands went up. "That's what I thought. Now you can talk, but be a bit quieter and don't fool around." he said and strolled into the classroom as the campers continued with their crafts.
"Hey" he said giving Clary a quick hug. "Hey, where's your basketball class?" said Clary. He muttered something about Kaelie and Volleyball. Clary nodded. "Anyway, I need to ask a favour" said Jace. Clary frowned. "What?" she asked. "I honestly can't stand Sebastian any longer. Cecy and Will will murder me if they find out I've talked to him. If I go, will you distract them?" Jace said.
"No." said Clary. "I won't fight him. I just want to talk to him!" said Jace sighing. "No. We are leaving Sebastian, and Kaelie for that matter, behind us. We can't let it get to us!" said Clary taking Jace's hand. Jace sighed. "Fine." he said reluctantly kissing her hand gently.
Jace hit the wall. First Cecily, then Will, now Clary. No one understood that he needed to sort this. "What's got your boxers in a bunch?" said an amused voice. "Go away Cecily. I'm not in the mood." he said turning to see his cousin. "You might want to listen to her. You need to hear this." said Will appearing next to her.
"What do you mean?" said Jace confused. "I'm sorry Jace, I really am. But, we saw them together. They were kissing, I mean optional kissing not forced kissing." said Cecily sadly. "No. You're lying." said Jace frantically. "Jace, I'm sorry. But Clary and Sebastian must be together." said Will shaking his head. "No" said Jace losing hope. Cecily and Will hugged their cousin sadly.
Sebastian smirked. He was listening in on the Herondale's conversation. Kaelie had been right. Jace was broken. And all it had taken was some hair dye, one of Kaelie's friends and some good timing. All he had had to do was kiss Kaelie's friend, Seelie, disguised as Clary and Jace was out of the equation. His phone rang. "Kaelie. Stage 1 complete." he said picking it up "Yes, you were right. It worked like a charm. Jace is heartbroken."
"Clary, I need a word." called a voice from behind Clary. Clary stopped in the corridor and spun around to see Jace. "Hey" she said smiling. "What's wrong?" she asked when he didn't smile back. "Why?"said Jace quietly. "What do you mean?" asked Clary confused. "Why did you drag me along like that?" asked Jace. Clary frowned. "Will and Cecily saw you kissing Sebastian. As in both of you wanting to kiss each other kissing." said Jace angrily. "Jace, I didn't..." said Clary. "Don't lie!" shouted Jace. "I thought you actually like me! I thought maybe I'd found someone who I loved and who loved me back! But apparently not!" shouted Jace angrily. "Jace, I don't know what you're talking about?" said Clary tearfully. "You know what! I give up! We're over!" shouted Jace storming away.
Kaelie grinned happily. She was hidden around the corner out of sight and had heard all of Clary and Jace's conversation. Now Jace was annoyed. She could be his shoulder to cry on and well, one thing would lead to another! Stage 2 was complete and now it was time to put Stage 3 of the plan into action!
Jace slammed the wall angrily. "Jace, what's wrong?" said Kaelie softly approaching Jace from behind. He sighed and turned to face her. "Clary and Sebastian, they...they kissed. We split up. It's over!" he said sadly. "Oh, Jace. That's terrible!" said Kaelie faking sympathy. She patted his shoulder gently. "If you need someone to talk to, then remember I'm always here!" she said softly. Jace nodded. "Thanks" he said quietly.
"In fact" said Kaelie "Why don't I take your mind off Clary a while?" She pulled Jace closer. His eyes were tearful. There were only millimetres between them, she reached up to kiss him.
"Not so fast" said a voice from behind them. Kaelie felt her arms pulled behind her back as she was forced backwards. "What?" she spluttered. "Good work guys!" said Jace grinning. Kaelie looked round to see Cecily and Will holding her arms. "You don't fool us that easily Kaelie!" said Will grinning. Kaelie spluttered. "What's going on?" she said. Clary appeared around the corner with Sebastian. "Just let me show you..." said Sebastian trailing off as he saw Jace, Cecily, Will and Kaelie. "Got you!" said Clary laughing.
"Ok. Explain this again." said Alec as the group sat in the leader's lounge. "Will and I saw Sebastian kissing one of Kaelie's friends who was dressed up to look like Clary." said Cecily. "So we went to tell Jace and tried to work out what was going on." said Will. "We knew Kaelie and Sebastian were involved so Cecy listened in on Kaelie's friends to find out what was going on." said Jace. "And when they found out the plan, they found me and told me to play along." said Clary.
"So what was the point? I mean, why did they do it?" asked Jem. "If I thought Clary and Sebastian were dating, I would get back with Kaelie and Sebastian would get with Clary." explained Jace. "But, Will and I foiled their plan!" said Cecily. Clary coughed and Jace raised his eyebrows. "With a bit of help..." said Cecily reluctantly.
Clary stirred her cereal sleepily. She was sat in the breakfast hall with Jace, Alec, Magnus, Maia, Jordan, Simon, Isabelle, Will, Tessa, Jem, Sophie, Gideon and Gabriel. Cecily burst in the door and ran to the table they were at. "Did you hear?" she said sitting down. Jace frowned. "Hear what Cecy?" he asked. She bit her lip trying to hold in a laugh. "Well, Robert and Maryse went to talk to Sebastian and Kaelie after what happened. They went to Sebastian's room this morning and found Kaelie and Sebastian together, as in together." she said. Isabelle gasped. "Robert and Maryse gave them into trouble about what happened, but they got annoyed and argued back. So Robert and Maryse chucked them out." finished Cecily.
"Really?" asked Gideon. Cecily nodded. "Gone and never allowed to come back." she confirmed. The group grinned in agreement. "Maybe we'll get a bit of peace after all" Jace whispered in Clary's ear. Clary smiled and kissed him gently. "Woah! Less snogging, more cereal eating please!" said Cecily laughing. Jace shot her a look before rolling his eyes and smiling at his little cousin.
