As soon as I got home from school I imediately ran up the stairs to my room and slammed the door with all my might. I can't believe I was so stupid to think that he might like you, stupid ol' Clary back.

I hid in my room for the rest of the night, trying not to become dehydrated from crying so much. It was around 8 o'clock when Trevor got home from football practice. Of course he had managed to become mister popular in 5 days... But, when the car pulled farther into our circle driveway I noticed another person sitting next to him... JACE?! Great! Just fucking great Clary. I ran infront of my floor length mirror.

Your face is red and puffy from crying and you just looked like a hot mess Clary, god damnit. Look at you with your old Urbana sweats from like 7th grade, and your tanktop that is ripped with a nutella stain. You honestly look like a hobo. A Big. Ugly. Hobo.

I ran into my closet and put on aztec print joggers and a pale orange colored PINK tee. A cheetah probably would have been left in my dust as I ran as fast as I could to my moms bathroom. Her lighting is wayyyyy better than mine. I realized I had no time to redo my smeared after-crying racoon look so I wiped it all of with a remover pad. By this time they were already through the front door oh great Clary what are you going to-

" CLARY! I'M HOME! AND I BROUGHT YOU MY LEFTOVER PIZZA FROM JIMMIES!"

I realized as my stomach growled at that exact moment that I hadn't ate anything since lunch almost 8 hours ago. Whoops.

Awesome. now I get to look like a fat lard infront of my crush. SECRET crush.

I went down the stairs as slowly as possible, grabbed the pizza and ran right back up to my room without as much as a glance towards Trevor let alone Jace.

"Hey Clary whats-" but he was cut off from the loud slamming of my door.

wheeeeeeeeeew

Jace POV

I'm assuming Fray didn't expect me by the stunned look on her face. She ran down and snatched up that pizza like she was actually starving, haha. She was in comfy clothes, messy bun, and no makeup. A girls best look in my opinion...

Wow, Clary is so beautiful, even without makeup. Wait Jace snap out of it you have Maia, don't you forget that. I haven't been able to describe what has been going on lately. I've been getting these weird urges to kiss Fray (her new nickname of mine.) all the time. I never really truly saw how beautiful she was. Her green eyes sparkle when the sun hits them just right. Her long, gorgeous fire red hair, and her long slender frame. I always find it funny because she looks so long and slender but she is barely 5'2". See what I am saying? Clary brings out urges that I have never had with Maia and I haven't even known her a full week. Clary makes me want to better myself so I can then help her, She is so shy, and I love it. Woah. I see her walking to her classes by herself and she walks with doubt, doubt about herself. I wish she wouldn't because she is truely gorgeous. I decided to give her my number because there was no way she was going to give me hers. When we text its different though she seems more confident, probably because she doesn't have to be face to face. Damn her shyness, I just want ot have a face to face real talk. But yet I find it so attactive. I don't know what it is about her but she makes me forget about Maia and everything we have been through. Whether it be a stupid fight or her getting jealous or even her talking to another guy.

Maybe its a sign.

Clary POV

I seriously stuffed that pizza down my throat as fast as you could say Jace Wayland is sexy as hell. I sat in my bed while watching Criminal Minds because of course it is my favorite show. Morgan is just perf, and Garcia, and Reed. Damn I love them all. After I went through what seemed liked an entire season I looked over at my clock,

1:36am

Fuck. I then glanced down at my phone that i usually end up neglecting because common lets face it- who would I text? My only real friends are my internet ones, which of course my parents don't approve of because they hate the internet and think everyone you don't know there could be a murderer. But anyways I saw that I had 8 text messages. From who? Jace.

Jace: Hey Fray:) 9:45pm

Smily? eh that's sorta normal right clary?

Jace: Fray are u sleeping? 10:19pm

Jace: Wow, I was hoping u were actually gunna be awake, yah big baby It's Friday! 11:33pm

Jace: Frayyyyy wake up I have no 1 else 2 talk to 12:01am

Maia? What about Maia?!

Jace: F 12:13am

Jace: R 12:03am

Jace: A 12:03am

Jace: Y 12:03am

"wow Jace seriously haha." I giggle quietly to myself.

While reading the messages over and over my phone buzzed again...

Jace: Whatever Fray, we'll duke this one out tomorrow;) 1:42am

WINKY FACE?! and wait... tomorrow is Saturday?

Maybe its a sign.
