Clary's POV

Finally it is Saturday. I roll over and blindly feel for my phone. Slowly I start going through my texts. I have one from Magnus asking if we can carpool to the mall. I text back saying sure and that Simon will be riding with us. Being neighbors with Alec's boyfriend does have its perks. Other than becoming friends with the Lightwoods through him, that is.

I have another text from Simon saying that he will be at my house at 10:30 to hang out until we all meet up at the mall at 1:00. I look at my clock in the dark to see it blink 10:25. Shit. Just as I roll out of bed I hear a car pull up in the drive way, and sure enough it's Simon. "Good morning Sleepy Head!" Simon greeted as I opened the door.

"Morning." I mumble pulling him into a hello hug.

"What do you want to do before we all have to meet up?" He asked.

"Well, in case you haven't noticed, and I know you did, I just got out of bed when you were pulling in. So I need to take a shower then eat breakfast. But you can make yourself at home."

"I always do."

"Oh, by the way, Magnus will be here at 12:30 to drive to lunch with us." I yell to him as I walk up the stairs.

Jace's POV

"WAKE UP JACE!" Max yells as he jumps onto my bed.

"Max, I am trying to sleep." I grumbled. I don't like being waken up. I sit up to make him happy anyways. "What time is it Maxy?"

"10:30! But Isabelle wanted me to wake you up. She wants to talk to you."

"Okay Maxy, I am getting up." I closed my eyes and ran my hand through my hair in a sleepy manor.

"Are you excited?" Max promoted.

"For what?"

"To hang with Clary silly!" Max pretty much yelled.

"MAX! Shhh…" I pleaded, "I don't want people to know."

"Sorry Jacey. But did you know she is staying for the weekend? Mom said she can! I can't wait to meet her! You guys are always talking about her. Well Isabelle talks about Simon more but still!" Max yells. Man, will this kid ever shut up? Wait, Clary is staying here for the weekend? I can't help but smile at that. Man, I'm whipped! Just the thought of her makes me smile. But right now I have to hide that. That bright red hair reflects her personality so much. GOD! Now I was blushing and I DO NOT blush.

I get up and look in my closet for anything I could wear. After trying on everything I decide on sweats and an ADTR band tee to wear until I talk to Isabelle. I quickly grab an apple and head to the family room. "Hey Isabelle. So I hear you wanted to talk to me." I state.

"Oh hey! You startled me," Izzy replied. "And yeah we need to talk."

"Well, make it snappy I need to get ready for today and it's already 11:30."

"Wow! I sent Max at 10:30. I do hope you're not wearing that..." Izzy remarked. Sometimes she can be a huge bitch. But then again I would never wear this to see Clary if I ever want her to think about me like I do about her.

"No I'm not I actually was going to ask if you could help me pick out what to wear today."

"Why does it matter? It isn't like you care what any of us think of you anyways. You only care about people who you think 'matter' which isn't any of us. You only care about yourself!" Izzy exclaims. Wow. That hurt. But I don't want her to know that she has that sort of power over me, so I just change the subject with a smirk.

"You are right about that." I lie, "But what if I see a hot babe, I want her to like what she sees. I mean more than she would in this. Who can't want all this?" I hate having to act this obnoxious, but if I don't then they would see how much I actually care. "Anyways, enough of this 'small talk'. Not that I don't LOVE talking about myself." I smirk. I actually can't stand talking about myself. "But, what did you want to say?"

"I asked you here to tell you not to be such a stuck-up douche, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen." Izzy barked. "Clary really needs to have this be a fun day. She has been really stressed lately. I don't know why I'm telling you this. I just feel bad for her. That's why she's staying here till Tuesday." Clary is stressed? Why didn't I know this? She has seemed upset lately. I thought it was just cause of school work or something. But I guess not.

"Why is she staying until Tuesday?"

"There isn't school until Wednesday. Probably because they teachers need a break from you!" Is this how I am to everybody else? I am done with her. It is probably her time of the month anyways.

I wonder if Alec is in his room.

"Alec?" I call out as I enter his room.

"What is it bro?" Alec questions as I take a seat on the couch in the corner of his room. "Izzy told me you are coming with us today. Is that true?"

"Yeah I had no plans anyway and I didn't want to be home all day." I say as I make myself comfortable. His room is always the cleanest. Maybe because he is organized or maybe because he is always at Magnus' place. "I was wondering if I could borrow something to wear today. All of my stuff is dirty. Plus, since Magnus and you got together he has been making you dress better."

"Yeah that is true. Haha. He has been rubbing off on me" He smiles.

"Probably rubbing up on you too." I smirk. OWW! As I look away I get a pillow in the head and hard! I look at him and he is blushing. Those two are so cute. I want to be in a relationship like that. "Oh are we having a pillow fight now? Kinky!" I joked as I throw the pillow back.

Alec later emerges from his closet with a black deep v-neck tee and a pair of dark skinny jeans. "Here wear these. Oh and grab that black leather jacket." He tosses me the clothes and I changed in Alec's bathroom.

"How are things with Magnus? When are you two going to make it official?" I yelled through the door.

"We are great. But you know how Mom doesn't approve of Magnus and me." He says sadly. Mom is always so hard on him about being gay and I can tell it is getting to him.

"Alec, she loves you and just wants you to be happy." I say softly as I exit the bathroom.

"Whatever. That looks great by the way." Alec tries to smile, but I can tell that it's fake. "Anyways, how is the girl situation? I know you've been stuck at home a lot because Izzy and me being busy and stuff."

"It isn't going." I admit, "Everybody in this town is either stuck up or gross." I can never lie to him. I always feel I can be real with Alec. He and Max always know the real me.

"Hey! There is always Clary" Alec laughs, "I know how much you two hate each other but still."

"About that..."

"Wait. You like Clary, don't you?"

"She is really beautiful. Her long curly red hair. Those big round eyes. The way her nose crinkles when she laughs. Oh, that laugh. It can make angels swoon." I sighed. Wait. Crap. Why did I just say that?

"Well yeah, she is attractive"

"Do not go switching teams on me! I already have enough competition with Simon anyways."

"Simon?" Alec laughs, "He is hooked on our sister. Sure he used to like Clary but that was a while ago."

Simon doesn't like Clary? I really thought he did.

"Then who does Clary like?" I think out loud.

Alec laughs. "I have no clue who she likes. Magnus mentioned that Will Herondale kid. But that was a long time ago. I guess you will have to find out for yourself." Wow. Alec must really get a kick out of this. I stand up and walk out of the room. "Wait," Alec calls. "Please do not ruin this with her. I can see how much you like her and I know how scared you are that you might hurt her but please do not ruin it." Whoa, Alec can really see right through me.

I look down at my phone and see that it is 12. I have an hour. I got onto Facebook and look up Clarissa Morgenstern.
