Chapter 3 : A BEAUTIFUL Friendship

JACE POV

After the quick lunch, which was more a snack then a lunch, our parents decided to take a walk around the neighbourhood showing the Frays or Garroways around. Clary didn't go , she said she wasn't feeling so well, so she stayed with me and Isabelle. So I decided to take a nap, since I'm clearly very social, and definitely in the mood to talk to Clary, and become great friends! ...Do you get my sarcasm?

I finally get up from my bed, after just lying on it for a good 30 minutes, I wasn't even napping... just thinking. I get up and put on some sandals and head outside to the patio, then decide to just sit under the palm tree, and read. This place really is a jungle, it's incredibly humid sometimes, but incredibly dry sometimes, Maryse hates that all her plants die, because of the quick change in climate.

"Jace?" A small voice, asks. I lift my head to see Clary, looking at me with her big green eyes, god, she just doesn't know how cute she looks like when she has this lost puppy expression on her face.

"Yes, carrot top?"

"I already told you my name is Clary, and I hate redhead jokes." She replies angrily.

"But you aren't a redhead, you're a ginger." I say with a smirk.

She rolls her eyes in frustration, it's so cute, she looks a little kitten, I smile to myself, thinking about this little red kitten.

"I guess I'll just go back inside, since clearly you don't want to talk." I quickly take back what I said.

"No wait! I take it back,"

She shakes her head, and continues walking back. "Look, we haven't started on the best track... let's start again, what's your name?" I ask, as I stick out my hand so she can shake it.

"Clary Fray"

"That's a lovely name, I'm Baron Hotschaft Von Hugenstein."

"Now, I can see this will be the beginning to a beautiful friendship" Clary replies through gritted teeth.

I smirk. "Indeed fair mistress, now, lead me to your bedchamber."

"So I can kill you..." mutters Clary. I decide to change the subject before she actually... well, this girl looks like she could kill someone...

"So Clary, are you feeling 'better' now? For I would love to show you around." I say with a mock british accent.

Clary finally decides to play along.

"Oh yes, Highness, I would be completely honoured to have the king show me around."

"Then, fair maiden, take my hand, and we'll follow a path of great adventures!"

Clary gave me her hand, and we skipped through the house, to the front entrance.

"Put on something comfortable, we might be walking for a good...6 hours" I say with a wink.

"Oh, joy!" She mutters.

We leave the house, and I lock the door, its a tourist town so it's safe, but no one would want to get robbed.

"Okay where to first?" Clary asks.

I shrug.

"Well, Izzy said she would take you to the mall by herself, so no point going there... but there's an amusement park... so we can go there, then we can... go swimming!"

"Oh shit! I need my swimming suit then!" Clary explains, as I give her the key.

Within five minutes she's back.

"Okay, let's go!"

We started walking down the street, there wass this awkward silence, so I tried to make conversation...

"Soo...why'd you move here?" I ask.

"I'll tell you if you tell me..."

" I moved here from L.A, Maryse got a job here at the local hospital, this was the closest place to the hospital... but that wasn't the reason for me.."

"Oh, what about you? Why'd you want to move?"

I smirk. " To get away from the ladies, duh!" She rolls her eyes disgusted by my sarcasm,"I mean, who could possibly get away from this hunk of meat" I continue playfully, and she gazes at me.

"See, you even like it!"

"No, I just want to see what a girl could possibly like in you since you don't seem to have to much personality, unless you count your disgusting sarcasm, and I'm pretty sure the only girls you're interested in are sluts and prostitutes, so no, I'm not interested in 'this hunk of meat'" She spits out, and begins to walk faster, as I try to catch up to here... that little redhead has a shitload of personality for sure...

Clary POV

I could here his footsteps behind me, I don't know why I got so worked up, I just hate people like him. They disgust me.

I feel someone grab my arm.

"Soo, Clary, why'd you move?" I decide to give him a chance.

"Well first, I moved from Idris to New York, we only stayed there for like, 4 months, then my mom got married, and now we're starting 'a new life' here," I say bitterly.

"Why'd you move from Idris in the first place?" He asks curiously, I stop walking.

"My brother was murdered." I answer bitterly again, and continue walking.

"You have a bad past?"

I nod my head slightly.

"Well, my father was murdered and so was my brother so, yeah, I guess so."

"Oh. Well, I was adopted my the Lightwoods when I was 10," Jace begins.

"I still remember the day, Maryse saw me, and said, 'well, aren't you adorable' I responded by giving her the finger, she immediately looked at Robert, and said ' i want him' I thought she was going to beat me or something, but she took me home and gave an empty room and told me I could do whatever I want with it, she bought me a bed and a piano, because I told her I can play, I wrote her a song..."

He looked like he was tearing up.

"A song?"

Jace nodded. " What can I say, I was a pretty smart 10 year old, I still remember part of it... ' I think you're cool, but scary at the same time, you're kinda old but you're kinda happy, you're really nice, and I think you're cool, and you're face reminds me of a prune' I wasn't good at rhyming, she told me it was lovely,"

"You're a messed up kid..." I reply, with a saddened expression he replies

"I know, I know."

We arrive at the amusement park within 10 minutes, it's packed, with what seems to be only tourists.

"The thing about this place, is that this is a tourist town, people move here to retire mostly, so, there's only like 7,000 people who live in this town all year, but over 100,000 who come here for vacation..." I nod my head in acknowledgement.

"So, what are we going to do now?" I ask

"We're going to make ourselves want to throw up, and kill ourselves,that's what this place this for, after this, you'll never come back to this place." Explained Jace.

I just nod my head nervously.

Jace was right, within 2 hours, I can barely stand up. So we decide to just go straight home, since I look slightly green. We begin walking home when Jace decides I look like I'm about to collapse.

Jace half carries, half drags me, I should be happy that a hot guy is carrying me, but I really don't give a fuck right now. When we finally come back home, Jace kicks the door.

"What the...?" Alec asks as he opens the door.

"She has a weak stomach." grumbles Jace as he walks in and throws me on the nearest couch.

Well, that's the end of my day.

Well, that's it... sorry for the... 2 week wait, what can I say? I'm not a frequent writer.

I PROMISE THERE WILL BE A LIL BIT OF FLUFF THE NEXT CHAPTER!

I just want to say, this story will be around...15 chapters at most, because, they'll fall in love... and that's 'bout it, but I do have some action planned, and we might have at the end... a surprise visit from someone.

Hint: They're slightly a geek. ;)
