I'll skip the quirky introduction because I now that half of you have a price on my head. I'm going to be honest. My biggest excuse for not updating would be that I had school. It's not valid, I know. BUT IT'LL HAVE TO DO. ANYWAYS… Let's celebrate eh? I have 59 FOLLOWERS for the story. Like OMG. Y'all are the best.

I HAVE 24 REVIEWS GUYS. That's INCREDIBLE.

Ok. I'll stop stalling. Here is chapter 8…9?

I'm so lost.

"It was Jace Wayland."

Izzy stays in shock for a while before saying, "What?"

"It was Jace, Izzy." I try to reassure her. We stay in silence for what seems like 5 minutes until she grabs one of my pillows and begins to scream into it. Matt bursts through the door.

"What's wrong?" His concern warms my heart. Matt IS a better dad. But then again, my dad did bring Jace so… I cut off my mental debate. I smack Izzy, trying to stop her from screaming, which didn't work.

"Sorry Matt. Izzy here is freaking out about our guest." Matt relaxes and leaves. I continue to smack Izzy.

"God Izzy! Shut up!" She doesn't stop so I resort to the quickest solution available. I run to the bathroom and fill a bucket with ice cold water. I stand, positioning the bucket directly above Isabelle's head.

"Sorry Izzy." I quickly dump the contents of the bucket onto her head. She shoots straight up and is silent for a split second, before screaming again. She calms down after a minute and tries to send a death glare my way. I giggle before pushing her off the bed and taking the blankets to the laundry shute.

"I hate you Clarissa Morgenstern" I grab a towel and wrap it around my poor friend.

"Yeah yeah… sure thing. You out of shock yet?" I banter with her as she shivers.

"I guess…" She mumbles before smirking and running into my closet.

"What do you think you're doing?" I yell through the door. She doesn't reply, but comes out a minute later wearing my pink tank top and shorts. She poses for me.

"Ta da!" I whine before she continues, "It's only because SOMEONE got my clothes wet. Weird huh?" She glares at me and I giggle.

"Go home Izzy." I smirk before shoving her out of my room. She grumbles something about 'tomorrow' and walks out the front door.

THE RETURN OF THE PAGE BREAK

Isabelle comes over the next day in the morning. We talk about everything and anything but avoid the topic of Jace. We hang out for hours until she states that she is hungry, so we head to the kitchen.

She starts walking downstairs and abruptly stops. I slam into her back and groan.

"What is it Izzy?" I whine as I go around her.

"Today is… Oh my god! It's today!" She sprints to the TV and turns on some gossip show.

"What? What is today?" I exclaim, completely confused.

"They announce the winner of the host family contest for Jace today! I hope you don't mind that I entered you…" She squeals before settling onto the couch.

"Yeah, its fine! Now hush. Watch." We stare at the screen as they recap the concert, school winner, and a 15 second clip of Jace saying good luck.

"Ok everyone! This is the moment you've all been waiting for. Ladies and gents, the host family winner for Jace Wayland is…

Clarissa Morgenstern!"

OH MAH GAWD PAGE BREAK

I'm not exactly sure what happened after the announcement. All I remember is temporarily blacking out and waking up to Isabelle yelling at Matt.

"MATT! She could be hurt! We have to do something! Call -" Izzy gets cut off by Matt.

"Izzy relax! She's just in shock. I promise she'll wake up any minute now. Just rela -" I groan causing Izzy and Matt to turn around.

"Quit whining guys, I'm fine. I mean, come on!" I stand up and grab Isabelle's hand. "Jace Wayland will be living with ME!" We jump in circles. I suddenly freeze.

"Wait a second… Jace will live with me… Jace… Is going to live with me. Oh my god… JACE IS GOING TO LIVE WITH ME. JACE IS -" Isabelle cuts me off.

"We get it Clary. The announcement was 15 minutes ago. I've already freaked out." She smiles at me. I begin to squeal but an interrupted by the phone ringing. I quickly grab it and answer happily.

"Hello? Umm… Yes this is. Who is this? OH. Please hold." I quickly drop the phone and turn to Izzy and Matt.

"Guys… its him."

That's it! Hope you enjoy guys! Next chapter… the "interesting" phone call.

BUH BYE!
