Chapter-2, Why Me

(Jaces POV)

I was sitting in my room fiddling with the remote watching tv, what came on screen was a red-haired girl that would have looked okay but the dye was slowly washing out and it looked uneven and messy, not like Clary, not that I care about her, you can not care about a girl in one day I repeated in my head

I heard a faint sound at my door so I got up and slowly opened the door and I saw Izzy. "Yes," I asked.

"Clary texted me and said we could go out tomorrow," she said looking guilty.

"And you said no," I said a little too confidently, though I did not care I was too tired to care.

"No," she said, and I could not help but sigh as I leaned against the door frame.

"Just get her out of here before 6... Okay," I said and she nodded as I slowly closed the door. Tomorrow was a big day and my new parents and the other people that were helping me were going to understand that I witnessed mt fathers murder and my mother that died for me. And they were going to help the man that killed them go to jail.

Even though this was going on I still had to go to school, and honestly, I did not really want to miss it. So I got up after hours of thinking and I took a shower as fast as I could and I got dressed and whet downstairs to make breakfast.

I sat there not really thinking about anything and I heard people behind me come and take pancakes then leave leaving me alone with my thoughts, and honestly, I deserved that. I got my backpack after cleaning up and headed out to the bus.

I got on with Alec and Izzy And we sat in our now normal seat in the back of the bus, putting our backpacks in the seat in front of us that no one was in yesterday.

"Jace," Alec said.

"Ya?" I asked.

"What are you thinking about," He asked.

The redhead I thought, "Tonight," I lied. I know that I should not think about the girl but I could not help it, she was always in my head but she was so confusing-

"It is the redhead," Izzy said she knew how to read me a little too well for only knowing me for a month, or maybe I did not want her to read me, It did not matter though so I just looked up and said "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Right," Alec said as he got off the bus and pat me on the back. I got up after him and walked to first class with clay in it.

I sat in my spot next to her and she was still in her little world of sketching.

"Hi," I said lamely. She jumped into the air and I said "Sorry,"

"it is fine," she said, "it is not nice to sneak up on people"

"I was sitting right here," I said and laughed a little

"are you okay," she asked me as the teacher started to talk and I looked a the teacher kind of avoiding the question, I felt her shrug and look at her book. My mind wandered to her and I did not care if I did not know her I would be scared and anxious for tonight. So my mind wandered and thought about even if I liked her what would be the chance of her liking me back.

The next class was biology and I was paired with the one and only Sebastian, I was not paying attention but I caught some girls looking at me so I just winked at them and they started to laugh so I smirked and went back to looking cool as I thought and took some notes to remember later.

The teacher exited the room. Sebastian said "Hi, there is a party tomorrow," He continued without a second glance "You wanna come, man?" He asked.

I nodded and grinned, maybe it would be a little fun and get my mind off of things.

The rest of the class was pretty short, I came out of class and went out to my locker and as I opened it and heard a fake high-pitched voice I turned around and saw the girl with brown hair that Izzy sat with before Clary yesterday. She was giggling and looking at me and whispering to her fake friends that probably hated her.

I raised my eyebrows "Yes?" I questioned, they giggled. "Can I do anything for you?"

"Plenty," The leader that I assumed was Kaelie "Who knew that the new kid would be so hot," She said and batted her eyes, that made her look more like a troublemaker then innocent.

The bell rang and I smirked, maybe tomorrow I thought. I heard her say something to me behind my back but I did not care I got to my next few classes and they all went by fast.

I heard the bell ring for lunch and I ran to the table where Clary was already sitting. I had a question that I needed to ask her about Sebastian.

She looked up as I sat down "What is between you and Sebastian."

She looked kind of scared to respond but she said "I used to date him," and she looked down. There was clearly more but she did want to talk so I did not force her.

"Okay," Was all I said as the others sat down, I almost saw Izzy wink at me while Clary was looking down at her book I rolled my eyes and sat down with us four, and 2 more.

The one that was wearing a lot of eyeliner said "Biscuit," Clary looked at him "Why don't you introduce us, especially Pretty boy," I opened my mouth to speak but he put his hands up and said "Not you, him," he said and pointed to Alec. I tried not to looked surprised but I was kinda happy for Alec, he was barely accepting it himself.

"Simon, Magnus this is Alec, Jace, and Izzy," She said pointing to each person, "And," she continued "And Alec, Jace, Izzy This is Simon and Magnus," She continued pointing to each person, Magnus just nodded while Alec Blushed.

"So," The guy without sparkles over his said "Dye Blonde," He said pointing to me I was going to tell him something "Hair extensions," He pointed to Izzy.

He opened his mouth to speak but clary cut him off saying "Simon, they are not as bad as they look."

"And for the record," I put in "My hair is naturally blond." He just rolled his eyes.

"And you have known them what, one day," he said ignoring me. She just shrugged as Jon sat down that I remember from the class before this.

"Got a party CC," He said she nodded again. She nodded and said something that I could not catch. "And I told him to Fuck Off."

"Thank you," She said politely I grinned.

"No problem little sis," He said.

"I'm not little," She said defensively.

"Well I'm bigger," He said confidently.

"By 1 minute," She muttered annoyed.

The bell rang and I left the lunchroom and went to the halls and I felt someone pull me out of the one-way rush.

"You like her," Jon said. I rolled my eyes.

"I have known her 1 day," I told him.

"Exactly you just want to use her don't you," He almost asked.

"Even if I did like her I would never hurt her."

"How can you be so sure."

"Because she is not the normal type I would go for, and if I did I would not come out of it hurting her."

"And how do you know that?" I said nothing "Exactly you like her."

"Just don't hurt her," He said and I nodded though he did not see me as he was swallowed by the crowd and I got swallowed too.

Maybe he and everyone else was right. Maybe.

I walked to the next to classes and they went by fast enough to get me on the bus with Izzy and Alec in the back of the bus, and they were talking and I leaned against the busses wall and I rested my head on the window and got off of the bus when we got home.

Izzy disappeared with Clary later and she came back for a while before leaving right before six

I had the meeting or whatever you would want to call it I thought that that would get most of my stress on me but there was still some there. Probably from what Jon said about Clary, but who knows. Right.

Authors Note-

Okay I have a lot to say, First of all, I did decide to use one of your suggestions about Sebastian, I was originally going to do something between her and his family and I might still do that but I can also use the request about Seb - Clary. And I'm sorry it a little short, it is a little longer than the last chapter and, but I hope you can hold with me till they start getting longer. Second what I meant in the little authors note two chapters ago meant that I might do each chapter will be 1-2 days in the universe I have crafted not that I will update every day though it will still be frequent. I do understand how that could be confusing. But I am happy to get another one out today. Thanks for the support.
