JacePOV
While I was fuming over Clary, I hadn't even bothered to notice that some freshman was opening his locker right in front of me. I walked right into it, hitting it with a loud CLANG! Falling onto the floor, the freshman freaking out.
"Jesus, man! Don't you ever watch where you're going? I coulda knocked you right out! And look at the dent you made in it! The school will probably fine me for it!" he rambled.
"Oh, it's my fault?!?! Whose the one that opened his locker at like 90 miles an hour? Eventually it's going to fly right off someday, and that's not going to be my fault."
I stomp away, rubbing the bump on my forehead and wincing. Just when things couldn't get any worse, I run into Clary, who was trying to hide her laughter behind her hand.
"Go ahead and laugh!" I shout angrily. "You've already ruined my day, so you might as well make it worse."
"What did I do?!?!" she shouts indignantly. "You're the one whose been staring at me all lunch period. What's was THAT al about?"
As soon as she utters these words, the entire hallway goes silent. Everyone is staring at me, expecting me to either deny it or explain it, neither of which I can do. I turn around and walk quickly down the hallway, towards the door.
"Hey! Where are you going?" I hear her shout behind me.
I don't stop or even flinch. I just push the heavy doors open and out into the pouring rain. I keep walking until I reach the park across the street. When I reach the nearest park bench, I sit down and bury my face in my hands.
"How could I be so stupid?" I think to myself. I'd pretty much humiliated myself, twice, in front of everybody without humiliating anyone else. And on top of that, I had done it in front of Clary.
"Wait." I tell myself. "Since when do I care what another girl thinks? They have only ever cared about what I think. This is bad."
"I'm sure it is."
I jump at the sound of the voice. I turn around to see the sophomore Clary was sitting with at lunch. Simon, I think his name was.
"You'd better have a good reason for pissing my sister off, because now I have to deal with it." Simon says fiercely.
"She's the one who should apologize. Why did she have to say that in front of everybody? Does she ever think before she speaks?" I say.
"You're the one who was staring at her all through lunch. You didn't even tell her why. Why were you, anyway?" he asked.
"I don't know. I just couldn't help it. Every other girl stares at me, so I couldn't deal with being ignored."
I shake my head sadly. Then a terrible feeling comes over me.
"Crap."
"What?"
I look Simon right in the eye. "I think I'm in love with your sister."
*Squeal* I can't believe it. Can you? Plz review!
