Chapter 4: New Beginnings
CPoV
Oh. My. God. He kissed me. He fucking kissed me! And what was even worse, I liked it. The boy I punched in the face twice, the boy who called me a crazy bitch, the boy who pushed Simon to the ground, and the boy who was an egotistical pig had kissed me and I liked it.
"What the fuck?" I asked him. "You loved it" He replied with a smirk. God he was so sexy, but I'd never let him know that. "You kissed me!" I shouted at him. Thank god everyone was at lunch! "Where did you get your scars from?" He asked me ignoring my previous comment.
I glared at him before I turned around and started to walk away but he stopped me. "You know, you are not going to get anywhere in life if you just run away crying whenever something happens." I faced him once more. I wanted to tell him he was wrong but he was right. Another attribute of the new Clary: No. More. Crying.
"Would you like to talk about it Jace? My scars? Would you like to talk about how I spent the first 13 years of life being beaten up by my father? How whenever I was just breathing he would get mad at me? How I was his anger treatment? See this scar here?" I pointed at the one on my right arm while Jace stood there speechless, "He pushed me into a glass coffee table telling me I was useless because I burnt some toast. Imagine that. An 8 year old burns some toast and she has to be hospitalised for a week as they pull out the glass. Is that what you want to talk about Jace? Huh?"
I breathed out a long breath, surprised out my outburst. It seemed Jace was too as he didn't say a word. Finally he speaks. "Wow." I turn around once more when Jace pulls me into a hug. Now it's my turn to be speechless. "I'm sorry Clary." Is all he can say. I pull out of his grip and say to him coldly "Now you know why I'm fucked up. Maybe I actually am a crazy bitch. I don't like you Jace…" My voice broke as I finally told him, "Just, please, just stay away from me."
"Clary…" Jace started but I left before he could say any more. I did not let a tear stray out of my eye and I walked away from him with my head held high.
I was going to keep away from Jace. Yes, I was falling for him but I will put a stop to that. Arrogance rolls off him and he thinks he is better than any one else. I know he's going to hurt me. Hell! He probably doesn't even like me and just did that kiss to drag me along.
Still thinking about Jace, I went to class. Art was definitely my favourite so I was glad that I had it for a double. As I was painting a landscape, Sebastian came up to me. It was strange and different because everyone stayed away from the weird girl.
"Hey Clary, how are you?" He asked. "Fine." I replied with a small smile. He smiled back and pointed to my picture. "You are really amazing, you know that?" From the look on his face I wasn't sure if he was talking about my painting. "Thanks Seb, it's okay if I call you Seb right?" I asked, unsure. "Sure, you can call me whatever you want."
I actually quite liked Sebastian, I hadn't talked to him before but he seemed really nice. I really needed to socialize and get to know the people at my school more. That was another new part of the revolution with new Clary: get to know more people. We were having a nice conversation when Sebastian started to look really nervous. "What's up, Seb?" I asked him. "Um, well…I was wondering if you wanted to, uh, sometime…go out with me?"
He blushed a bit when he finished. That's when I really noticed him. He wasn't as attractive as Jace, but with dark hair, dark eyes and angular cheekbones, he was quite easy on the eyes. I decided to give him a chance. "Sure, I'd love too." His face lit up and I let out a laugh. The fact that he was making me laugh was a good sign.
As it was the end of the lesson I got up to leave and Sebastian followed me to my locker. We continued to talk while I waited for Simon and when we saw him coming; Seb kissed me on the cheek. It was a small gesture…and I liked it. I smiled at him before seeing a flash of golden eyes. Jace. He saw the gesture and he looked pissed off. I could see him start to come up to us and I didn't want my good afternoon to be ruined so I hugged Sebastian and quickly walked away tugging Simon along with me.
"Let's go watch Star Wars, okay?" Simon gave me a perplexed look but then nodded happily. Things were starting to look up my way I thought to myself and smiled.
Sebastian PoV
Everything was perfect. That was until Jace came up to me. I think Clary saw him and the angry look in his eyes, which is why she hugged me, and dashed off.
Man, a kiss on the cheek and a hug and I was already whipped…and not afraid to say it. I think Jace was jealous. Like, mad jealous. "What was all that about?" He asked me, his voice was envious. "Oh, I asked her out and she said yes" I replied with my smile stretching from one ear to another. Jace's expression darkened and that's when I was positive he was jealous.
"What happened to her not talking to any one other than Simon?" Menace laced his voice, but I could detect some curiosity in there, too. "I just went up and talked to her. It was really easy actually, she didn't punch me in the face or anything." I was laughing now, but if looks could kill, Jace would be on his way to prison for manslaughter.
I knew Jace wanted Clary, but she was mine. "Jace" I started seriously. "I want you to stay away from Clary…" Now it was his turn to laugh. "She may have chosen you this time, Seb. But believe me, she will be mine very, very soon." He dragged out the last two words and said them such conviction it sent a shiver up my spine. Jace saw this and grinned threateningly, before walking away. I whispered to myself "I wouldn't be too sure if I were you." And smirked as I sauntered away.
Review! And rate and yeah...
I know that the chapters are short but i promise they are getting longer!
