Hey people!!!! So in the last chapter, I posted a contest seeing who could spot the connection in the story. In the end, EvangelineCirceLovesPJOandMI won. Congrats to you!!! So here is the next edition of Jace in Love. Enjoy!!

JacePOV

Pulling into an empty parking space, I slowly got out. I still hadn't even shut the door before I was mauled by a group of preppy girls, lead by none other than Evangeline Circe. She was the president of the Jace Lightwood Fan Club ( I know, I'm THAT well loved!) and was one of the dumbest chicks to ever walk the planet. I was a wonder she'd even made it to high school.

"JAAAAAACIE! I've got something for you!!" Eva said (Author's Note: Eva is the nickname I gave Evangeline). In her hand was a necklace that said "Jacie Loves Eva".

I tried not to grimace as I looked at it. Flashing a strained smile, I took it with a mumbled "Thank you."

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!" screeched Eva, and was barely caught as she fainted. While the group wasn't looking, I slipped the necklace into the trash can, sighing with relief that Eva didn't see and that I wasn't seen with it. A girl like that crying is bound to start the next 40 day flood.

Just then I heard a stifled giggle behind me. I'd heard it before, and reluctantly turned around to see Clary and Simon. Our gazes met briefly, wiping the smile away. She turned on her heel and stalked toward the building.

I stalked in the other direction, thankful to be away from Eva, and ran smack dab into Keith, the Goth guy whose locker I smashed into the other day.

"OW! Jesus. You just can't stop running into to me, can you?"

"I'm sorry." I said, though not that sincerely.

"No, you're not." he said fiercely, and punched me in the arm.

I punched back, though much harder and in the stomach. I heard his breath rush out of him. Getting mad, he punched my in the jaw. I tasted blood and angrily threw myself at him, tackling him to the ground.

A crowd of people swarmed around us, shouting and cheering the other on. Finally, a firm grip pulled me up. It was Clary.

"Okay, just because you ran into each other doesn't you have to be douche bags about it and brawl it out!" she yelled at us.

The other dude tried to take another swing at me, but Clary saw it coming. She socked neatly in the stomach and the guy crumpled to the ground clutching his belly. I'd never known she was so strong.

I couldn't help it. I laughed at the guy rolling around on the ground and instantly regretted it. Clary whirled on me and punched in the stomach as well. All of my breath went out of me at once, leaving me gasping on the floor.

"What *wheeze* was *wheeze* THAT FOR?!?!?!?"

"You had no right to laugh at him." she growled at me, turning away from him and stalked toward her homeroom. If I'd even had a chance of patching things up between us, it now disintegrated in my hand.

AlecPOV

"UHHHHHHHGGGGGG!" I thought angrily to myself as I stalked away from the Goth guy and Jace beating each other up on the floor. If that guy is going to make it in life, he has to learn to control his anger.

Just as I rounded the hallway corner, I found myself face to face with none other than Clary's brother Simon.

"Hey, is there a fight going on outside?" he asked, though he probably already knew the answer.

"Yeah, started by my brother, Jace." I said to no one in particular.

"I thought so. See, Clary went out to see what was going on out there, and I told her ……………" he rambled on like this for another minute, not even bothering to take a breath. By the time he was finished, I'd already spaced out.

"You know, it's rude not to listen to someone when they're talking." said Simon, slightly annoyed.

This brought me back. "Oh. Sorry. Just spaced out for a minute. It happens a lot." I added sheepishly.

"Hey, me too!!! I do it all the time, especially when Clary is talking to me or herself."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

We regarded each other for moment when the bell rang.

"Crap! I'm late. See you later." Simon said, rushing down the hall.

Just as he was disappearing around the corner, I started to have some weird thoughts.

"Hey, those pants make his butt look nice. I wonder if he has a gir-"

I cut my thoughts of abruptly with a shake of my head. What the hell was I thinking? I can't just go around make gay thoughts about other guys. He probably doesn't even like me back. Or does he?

ClaryPOV

God! Guys are so stupid! Whenever they feel crappy, they just brawl it out with the guy next to him. Can't things be done peacefully?

Then I remembered that this was high school, and at Hell High, it's customary to show the other guy you care by socking him in the face. And of course, of all the people who could be involved in something like this, Jace Lightwood was there.

Why did my life had to suck? It's only my second day here and I've had a guy fall in love with me, broken up a fight, and socked the two participants right back in the stomach. Luckily I left before the teachers came.

Why? Why? WHY?!?!?!?!?!?

Uh-oh! Jacie was a bad boy. And what the heck is going on with Alec? So tune in next time to read the next chapter of Jace in Love! And another congrats to EvangelineCirceLovesPJOandMI. You are featured in here!!!! Plz review!!!!
