Again, thank you to those reviewing, favouriting and following this story. Sorry it took me so on to add this chapter and that it isn't as long as my other chapters I've been busy with work. Please don't shoot me!

Clary POV

I couldn't believe what was happening, everyone was moving out my way. You know in those movies where it has the popular girls and everyone moves out their way when they walk. It's like that. Did I dethrone Aline off her high horse and become the queen bitch?

All hail Queen Clary! ~Bows down~ - Simon

He really did have a thing for bowing down to me, strange boy. Never the less it made me chuckle. Surprisingly I didn't get into trouble for hurting Aline. Maybe she's realised that everyone was tired of her shit. I smirked as I saw her a black eye which couldn't be hidden by her make up and a nose cast thing. She shot death glares at me again and I smiled and waved at her. It didn't impress her but she didn't make a comment at me.

I was putting my things away into my locker, ready to go to music.

"Hey Queen Clary!" Izzy shouted

"Jesus Izzy, I'm not the queen."

"Technically you are since you dethroned Aline."

"It's her own fault for being so orange."

"What's her being orange got anything to do with dethroning her?" Izzy questioned.

"I don't know! But it does!"

Izzy laughed at me. "You're so weird Clary. I hear you and Jace are friends, when did this happen eh?"

"Yesterdayish early this morning. We ended up taking yesterday after the Aline thing and then he rung me up this morning asking we could be friends. I just feel like I can't deal with any more trouble or drama and holding grudges."

"My my, is little Clary losing her bad ass ways?" she mocked. I glared at her and she shut up.

"Come on you plonker, time to get to music." I muttered at her and she started laughing again.

I sat down in my usual seat with everyone as Luke announced that we would be having an exam in a few weeks where we all would have the chance to show case our talents as part of our final grade. He told us that we would have to show the whole school what we was capable of doing. We would each be doing a solo and then a duet with someone. Each team as he called it would be picked randomly out of a that and they would have to work together and that would count as part of our grade. He told us that we also will be judged as teams by people and then awarded a prize for the best solo female, best duet and best male. The whole class was excited. We never had the chance to show people what we was able to do.

So Luke began picking everyone's name out of a hat, Simon and Izzy, Alec and Magnus. Me and Jace. Wait what? Had I heard that right, didn't I? I looked towards Jace and there he was smiling at me. I felt like banging my head against a brick wall. Yes we're friends now, but it'd figured that I didn't have to well you know spend more time with him. I could have happily been polite to him and stuff. This is one of the reasons why I hated school. It always messes up my plans. I sighed.

Everyone has made the attempt of moving to their partners and since I hadn't moved having an inner fight with myself, Jace moved towards me and settled himself down. He looked very pleased with this situation.

"Well I think we all know my talent, yet I don't know yours, what is it?" I questioned Jace.

"I play a few instruments, mostly guitar and piano and I sing a bit."

Woah, I didn't know he could sing. I knew he played a few instruments.

"That's pretty impressive. Any idea's on what we could do?"

We discussed a few ideas on what songs we'd like to do, what genres, artists, possibilities of making a song which would enhance our grades more since I felt like the rest of the class would be doing well-known songs. Jace and I agreed that this would be best if we arranged to spend some time during lunches to practise and go to each others houses to make a final decision that way no one in the class would know what we was going to do.

As I was walking out of the lesson, my phone began to ring. It was mom, what did she want? She knew to not ring me during school. I answered it anyway hanging at the back of my friends so I could hear my mum.

I don't remember when I stopped walking or when my phone came shattering down to the floor making the noisy hallway quiet. I don't remember holding a wall to keep me up or sliding down the wall to the floor while the world carried on with their lives. I could hear my mom shouting my name to me, I don't remember when my friends realised that I wasn't following them. I could hear my friends trying to move me, but I was stuck. I couldn't move even if I wanted to. I felt someone pick me up because I was so unresponsive. I heard someone talk to my mom trying to find out what had happened and I heard that someone would take me home and keep an eye on me while my mother was working. I felt someone brush away my tears as we walked somewhere, when did I start crying? I couldn't stop crying. I heard a car door open and I was placed inside and they put my seat belt on.

I don't remember how I got home or how I ended up in my bedroom. I heard all the words the person was saying, that whatever had happened they would be there for me. That if I ever needed them, they would be there for me. That I was the strongest, bravest, intelligent woman who would smile at the world even if I was breaking inside and try to make other happy. I was placed on my bed. The person told me that they'd give me some space but they'd be downstairs when I was ready. They stepped towards the door.

"Please, please stay Jace." I whispered.
