Paparazzi
Second chapter, I lied. Apparently I got 7 alerts and was more popular than my other story so I got to work and started writing another story. So did anyone read COFA? I ran ( literally) to my nearby bookstore and bought a copy on the release date and finished it on the same day.
FACT at the bottom A/N.
Clary's POV
By the time I got to school, everyone was talking about Jace, his movie and how he saved Aline Penhallow's ass from drowning. I went down the noisy hallway to meet Isabelle...my best friend by my locker. I found it strange that I didn't know her last name, where she lives, her siblngs, or any family related subjects. I didn't want to push her though when I knew she was extremely touchy on the subject. At first, I thought it was lack of trust, but it wasn't. We had been friends since the beginning of summer ,and I think I proved myself trustworthy. 10 minutes later, she finally showed up.
"Why so late today?" I asked.
"Um, our car got in uh traffic." she stammered looking at the ground. I wasn't buying it, but nodded and smiled understandingly. Just then, the bell rang and we jurried off to our classes.
Later that day, I went to the office to find everyone all nervous and jittery.
"What's wrong?" I asked one of the other interns.
"Jace Lightwood is coming for an interview!" she said (more like squealed). I wonder if he remembers. "Snap out of it Clary, he's a jerk, besides her probably won't remember anyway," A voice in my head told me."But he might" another voice said. They argued for a few moments before I stopped them to prevent myself from looking crazy. They-I finally decided that I wouldn't aproach him nor would I ignore him if he by some miracle recognized me. I heard screaming which meant he was outside. Downstairs. Right now.
Jace's POV
The second I stepped out of my limo, I was hounded with reporters hungry for anything they could get out of me. I walked in silence towards the tall building.
I stalked up to the 4th floor without bothering to say hi to the receptionist that greeted me. As I entered the building, the squeals and screams could be heard from a mile away. I scanned the room and I saw her. The redhead from the premier. She was in the corner working away at the copying machine without paying the least bit attention to the fact that Jace Lightwood was in the same room as her. I walked over to her as calmly as I could.
"What the hell is your problem?" I growled. I felt 15 eyes staring at me, so I turned and glared at them causing them to all rush around and pretend to work.
She didn't turn, just kept staring at the machine and sighed then mumbled " And just when I thought you were different." A look of confusion took over the glare I had plastered on my face. She took this chance to push past me and walk down the narrow hallway. I didn't move, I just repeated what she said over and over in my head while staring blankly at the machine. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something glisten at the side of the machine. I picked it up, it was a necklace with a small charm on it. The charm consisted of small jewels and if you looked closely, it said true love forever in the middle. He stuffed it in the pocket of his jeans and planned on returning it. It was just a matter of when.
Clary's POV
"What the hell is your problem?" A voice behind me growled. The voice that could only belong to Jace Lightwood. A look of shock and surprise crossed my face which he couldn't see because I wasn't facing him. "And just when I thought you were different" I said to myself. As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted saying it. I didn't want to explain my pathetic reason for my statement. I saw a look of confusion that wiped the glare off his face. "Damn, he heard it," I thought to myself. I panicked so I pushed past him and hurried down the hall.
One hour later/10 minutes after the interview, I took my notes down to my desk. Right before I reached it, I heard 2 voices. A female voice, and male voice.
"-But the label," the woman said.
"Mom, I don't care what the f****** ( cuz it's rated T) label thinks," he said angrily. Curiously, I peeked out just when the guy-Jace stormed pass me but not before he gave me a look. No, it wasn't an angry look which was not exactly normal to him. I walked slowly in front of the wall to reveal Maryse. Of course. Maryse Lightwood. Jace Lightwood. Maryse gave me a nervous smile and flitted off towards the direction that Jace went. So Maryse was Jace's mom. Wow, did anybody even know that? I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the magazines. I would know because of my cousins. They WORSHIP him. Literally.
The rest of the day, I tried not to think about him but I now think that he's permanently tatooed into my brain. Apparently, if Maryse is his "Mother" I'll probably be seeing a lot more of him. What's gonna happen? Well anyone who knows Jace knows that he's unpredictable. I looked down and noticed that my necklace was gone.
A/N: keep reviewing!
