Hey guys here's chapter 4. This chapter will be in Jace's point of view. I hope you like it.


Girl From the Past

JaPOV

Beep Beep Beep Be...

"Ugh." The good thing about the first day of school being on a Friday is I don't have to get up so early. Not that 5am is early. But I still have to get up and jog. Since its Saturday I set my alarm up for 6am.

(6am)Beep Beep Beep B...

"Okay I'm up. I'm up." I go to my dresser and pick out a pair of black basketball shorts and a black t-shirt. I head down the stairs while grabbing my phone, headphones and keys. It's time to see how this neighborhood has been after all this time.

So far this place hasn't changed at all. Well except for the season. Still the colors are really beautiful in the fall. Even though the fall is beautiful and magnificent I love the spring more. Nah it's more like a tie between the two. Though in the summer I take my shirt off to jog and I guess the girls love it more (wink wink). Just as I turn the corner I spot a speck of red on my left. I can't help but get the lyrics "to the left, to the left" stuck in my head. Don't judge, I have a very wide variety of music genres.

I see Clary stop at a water fountain close by. God she so hot, I mean what guy wouldn't think so. Man, what wouldn't I give to hug her. To feel her small body rating a cooling heat…Shut up! I tap on her shoulder to get her attention. "Hey there Clary. What's up?"

She looks a little shocked at first but her face starts to soften once she realizes it's me. "Hey Jace. Well obviously I was taking a drink of water," she says exaggerating. "What about you? What are you doing here?"

"Well obviously," I mimic her. "Talking to you Red. And for your information I'm out on a jog. Based on what you're wearing," I gesture to her outfit. "You're on a jog as well." I can't help but smirk at her light glare. Probably for calling her Red, eh.

"Cool, I bet a can beat you though," an evil smirk crawls upon her face but it's also very playful.

"Wanna bet? To the stop sign, two blocks."

"It's on Goldilocks."

"Ready. Set. Go." I yell and start to run. I look behind me to see Clary just jogging. Ha she'll never bet me. I just look ahead towards the stop sign. A block away from sign I hear scrapping. I turn my head to see Clary sprinting forward. Holy Crap! She was fast. I try to speed up but she's already by my side. She gives me a small salute and a wicked smirk as she passes by. By the time I get to the stop sign she's already waiting for me.

"Hey there Goldilocks, did you out run the bears?" I can't believe she got here first.

"How did you do that? No one's ever beaten me before. I got to hand it to you, you got skills."

"This is what happens when you train since you were twelve. Let me guess you started at thirteen or fourteen?" again with her little evil and playful smirk. Her lips are so perfect. I wonder if they're soft?...shut up! Don't think like that!

I smirk back just as playful. "Twelve and a half to be exact. Hey since there's no school today you wanna hang out?"

"Well I actually made plans to go to the mall with Maia, Magnus and Izzy. You can join if you want. I mean as long as you don't mind carrying bags." She says sarcastically cheery "I promise we'll only be 3 hours minimum." "Minimum? I think I'll pass."

"Okay well I got to go. Izzy's picking me up at 8:30 to go eat breakfast. See ya later Jace." She waves as she starts to walk off. I can't help but stare as she walks away. I want to tell her but I can't. I scared of how she'll take. I think I'll wait a while before telling her. I need to see how things work out.


I dry off my hair and go to sit down at the end of my bed. I start to finish my homework from yesterday. All I have to do is finish this little math work sheet and my sketch. Took me about 35mins to finish my math hw and I start to work on my sketch. I'm not amazing but I not bad either.

My drawing was the first day of kindergarten. I sketched a child's hand on a door that read Kindergarten. The whole sketch was surrounded by almost black shading. Inside, behind the glass of the door was a red light. It only filled a tiny half circle near the bottom of the glass. It was almost like fire but it seemed very harmless.

Once I was done my hands were covered by pastels and pencils shadings. I put my work down on the desk and went to wash my hands. I look out the window and see Izzy drive in. What I didn't expect was Clary to come out the passenger seat. I didn't think she was coming over. I quickly change into a black sweat pants and a gray t-shirt. (If you were wondering I was just in boxers before. Hey I was in my room, does it really matter?)

I can hear girls laughing from downstairs. I decide to go and say hi. Yeah like that's the only reason why. Didn't I tell me to shut up already! I see Izzy and Clary sitting on the couch talking.

"It was not that bad!" I hear Izzy say defensively.

"Oh really? My feet beg to differ," Clary says. I can practically see the grin and pain on her face. Shopping with Izzy wasn't easy.

"It's your shoes not my shopping."

"Whatever you say Iz."

"So how was shopping, girls? Did it live up to your expectations Clary?" Clary turns around glaring at me. I can't help but laugh. "By the look on your face I guess it went spectacular!" I say sarcastically.

"What is with you people and hating to go shopping with me! Magnus was the only one to appreciate my skills and love for fashion. You guy need to be more like him." Izzy says angrily at us.

"That hurt Iz. Right here," Clary said placing her hand over her heart giving a pouty look. I couldn't help but laugh at this. I hear Izzy huff and give up the argument. "Oh speaking of Magnus he said he'll be here by 6," she adds.

"Why would Magnus be here?" I ask confused on why no one told me.

"We're all going to dinner and a club tonight. Clary says they're pretty cool places. The diners called Taki's and the club is called Pandemonium," Izzy eyes wear gleaming with excitement. "Well its 4 so we better get ready." She says and drags Clary upstairs. Clary looked terrified.


Me, Alec and Simon are waiting downstairs for Izzy and Clary. It's already 5:45. Alec's wearing a tight black t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Simon's wearing black jeans with a nerd t-shirt that say "I'M NOT A PLAYER I'M A GAMER" on it. I'm wearing my usual; a white V-neck, black jeans, black combat boots and black leather jacket.

Clary and Izzy finally come down. Izzy comes down first wearing a red dress that goes down to mid-thigh and gold 4inch heels. I look over at Simon who has his jaw on the floor. He's staring at Izzy like a love sick puppy. Alec looks at Simon pissed for looking at his sister. Izzy moves to the side of the stairs and stops there. "Introducing the new and improved, sexy Clary," she gestures to the stairs.

My eyes bulge out of my head once I see Clary. She's wearing a green cocktail dress that stops a little above mid-thigh, 3inch black strappy heels, and her hair is put up into a messy bun. God she looked hot. I probably look like Simon when Izzy came down. I collect myself quickly so no one sees.

"Izzy did you really have to say that," Clary starts to blush when she gets to the end of the stairs.

"Clary you look hot and don't deny it!" exclaims Izzy. This makes Clary blush even more. She composes herself and gives Simon a hug and says hi to us.

"Maia, Jordan, Aline, Jon and Seb are meeting us there," Clary says. A car pulls in as she finishes. "Kay guys lets go. You don't wanna keep Magnus waiting. That's one of his big pet peeves." We all head out the door: Alec sat in the front with Magnus and the rest of us sat in the back. I take a glance at Clary and pull the clip out of her hair.

"It looks better this way," I tell her and even though it's dark in the car I can see her blushing. She's nods her head and turns to look out the window. This is going to be an interesting night.


Hey guys I hoped you enjoy the chapter. I'm thinking of about adding a fight between Sebastian and Jace next chapter. Maybe have some drunken romance between a few characters. Jealousy will be the characters enemies in the next chapter. Review and continue reading.

See you guys next week
