Chapter 3
5:00 AM. Also known as the time of my demise. Not only was it too early in the morning to be alive, but it also marksthe beginning of my life (my fake life) with Jace Herondale.
Here I am, trappedin the middle of a blinding airport with the person that I hate the most in the entire world. Now I understand why most of you would think that my reaction is a little bit over dramatic, but I can assure you that all of my feelings
are justified.
It would seem that Jace Herondale has dedicatedhis sole purposein life, other than being first rankthat is, to make my life a living hell. Most of the other girls at Heart would kill to be in my position. I am pretty sure that
they would die if Jace gave them half the amount of attention he gives me.
Speak of the devil. Mr. sunshine himself was walking straight towards me, only this time he had a very peculiar expression on his face. Then again, maybe it was just strange to see an expression other than arrogance on his face. Now don't get me wrong,
he still had that confident aura around him, but he wasn't broadcasting it quite as severelyas he usually would.
"Hey Red,"he says in greeting, "I didn't expect you to actually be here on time. Hell, you almost beat me here. Then again, you do seem to love secondplace."It was official, Jace was the most annoying person on the planet.
"You know Goldie, "I reply "I am not even going to justify that with a response. I am determined to at least attempt to enjoy myself while in your presence."
"Well of course you would, how could anyone be in my presence and not enjoy themselves. After all I am quite an enjoyable person if you know what I mean." he tells me while waggling his eyebrows,"But wait! I seem to remember that you are one
of the only girls at the Academy who wouldn't know what I'm talking about."
"Damn you Herondale,damn you and that god awfulsmirk of yours."
"Oh come on babe, you know that you love it." He says while looking up at me from beneath his eyelashes in a way that, I'll admit, made me tingle on the inside. Before I could come up with aresponse, I was assaulted witha very overexcited
squeal that had come from atall, and leggy brunette. Otherwise known as the one and only Isabelle Lightwood.
"Eeek! I am like so excited about this year's competition! I mean, who would've thought that they would actually let us out of the academy. Don't you guys think this this will be fun? We can throw parties, and stay up all night,and we can
even eat whatever we want! We might not even have to trainevery day!OMG, this is like,so amazing! "
I blink. Once, then twice. I seem to behaving a hard time absorbing all that was Isabel. I don't know what I was expecting her mood to be like but it definitely was not that.
Jace looked like he wanted to say something, but luckily the airport intercomcrackled into life at that very moment.
"Now boarding flight UA– 217, now boarding flight UA– 217 for a one-way trip to New York City."
After getting my luggage and carry-on in place, I went to look for my seat. I was very delighted to find that I was at the window and had an empty seat right next to me. Maybe this trip wasn't going to be as bad as I had thought.
"Wellwould you look at that Red, "said an all to familiar voice, "it looks like we're going to be planebuddies." I turn slightly in my seat to see none other than Jace Herondalelooking straightat me. I close my eyes and try to
pray to whatever deityis out there that there has been some kind of mistake.
"Come on Fray," he says to me, "I bet this will be a lot of fun." However much I want to believe that statement was true I knew who I was messing withand I couldalready tell that this plane ride was going to be torture.
