"What are you planning this weekend?" Isabelle asked me. I was sitting on the sofa in the living room brooding over my last breakup. His name was Peter and he was a total ass, as most guys are. Though he seemed nice, I guess I knew all along how this would end.

"Nothing much." I replied in monotone.

"Well, I'm going to Pandemonium with my friends on Saturday. You might wanna come." she said, hopeful.

"Sure!" I replied. I so badly wanted to get my mind of that useless piece of shit, I was ready for anything.

PAGEBREAK!

Isabelle was trying to get me to wear a ridiculously short bright green dress. It barely skimmed the top of my thighs, but she insisted on it.

"Izzy, I really don't get how this is going to do me any good. Its so short!" I said hysterically. If only she was me.

"Its not my fault you look so cute in this. Maybe with the right shoes we could give you a little height." she said evaluating me.

"Whose coming?" I asked curious. She looked at me. A knowing smile spread across her face. She knew.

"Alec, Magnus, Jace and a few other friends of mine." She saw how my face lit up at 'Jace' and smiled again. I only agreed to go with her because there was a chance Jace was coming and unsurprisingly, I found him interesting.

I remember when I was in 7th grade, Jace sat next to me in Math. I, for one, was really good at Math. I used to let him copy my work only because I liked him. After every worksheet or exercise he would give me this smile that left me stunned nearly every time. I thought his smile was to die for. Now, I knew better.

"Is Simon coming?" I asked. Simon and Izzy were going out for a while. I really don't know what happened between them. I hoped they were still dating. Simon used to be my best friend but then he found a room mate and then we hardly met. I only got to see him when Izzy and he were dating. I really missed my geeky, video game obsessed friend. He kind of was the only one who understood me. At least now I had Izzy.

"No. He was a total jerk." Izzy replied with a malevolent glare.

"Don't say that."

"Why not? He left you for what? Studies? Work? No, a new best friend. A guy. He doesn't love you anymore, Clary. He's been acting like a big jerk lately. I don't know whats gotten into him." Izzy seemed sad. I guess she really liked him, though he didn't feel the same way about her. She was right. He was and is a jerk.
