To the guest who reviewed the longest review I've ever received: a few of those ideas have been mixed in, and thanks so much for the review!
And yes they will remember each other soon, but I don't want to rush it, also if anyone has any suggestions of fanfics for me to read, I would love to check them out; self-promotions are fine!
Jace laughed as Jon fumed as they made their way to maths.
"Jace, what the hell was that?"
"Hmm?"
"Stop freaking flirting with my sister!"
"I wasn't, she's more like, a little sister to me."
"Oh, and I guess you flirt with Izzy too then?" Jon said sarcastically.
"Touché bro. I guess I just like messing with her, I mean come on, she's pretty funny when she gets all annoyed."
Jon cracked a grin, "No, that's my job to annoy her."
"Well then, I'll just warm her up for you."
"No, but seriously. Stop messing with her. She's had a rough past, evident by the panic attacks and she doesn't need some other shit in her life, ok? I serious man, don't mess with her or date her."
"Why cant I date her?"
"Jace, your reputation speaks against me trusting you, and none of my friends will ever get too close to Clary, that's like my only rule."
By now the boys were in their maths class, sliding into the back seats, waiting for the teacher to enter and begin the lesson.
"Fair enough, good thing I only have Simon to worry about in terms of my sister, and I think if anything serious happened between them it would be Izzy's doing anyway."
"Yeah, Simon may be a nerd but he's not an asshole."
"Good to know, but I still don't like him, he's too…quiet."
"And that's a bad thing?"
"I guess not. A bit of a walk over actually."
"Yeah I guess."
The teacher entered, temporarily silencing the boys who decided to turn their attention to the teacher.
"Did anyone not complete their homework?"
"Miss?" Jace called from his back seat.
"Mr. Lightwood?"
"I didn't finish it, as I had more pressing matters."
The teacher sighed, "And what were they Jace?"
"Well I would describe them but I would hate to get expelled Miss."
"How generous of you, , but give me a good reason or attend detention tonight."
"Mrs. Marks, how come your not as tough on the year below us? What happened to equality and all that crap."
"Yes, Mr. Fray, well equality and all that crap no longer gets you out of doing homework and such in your senior year. Gentlemen, I will see both of you in detention tonight after school. Now class we will be revising-"
"Excuse me, I find it insanely unfair, that I didn't get a proper chance to defend myself."
"What would you like to say, Mr. Lightwood?"
"Im new, I haven't really been informed of the rules and find it unfair that I'm been punished according to them so soon."
"Excellent point . You can discuss, the vast schools that you have attended which allow you to talk back to a teacher and to not complete homework,with me in detention. Now open your textbooks to page 26, and start on the first question. If you have any problems ask me."
Jon and Jace spent the rest of the lesson ranting to each other, trying to play it off cool but sending glares to Mrs. Marks whenever she looked their way. Finally the lesson ended and the two boys trooped off to History, much to their annoyance.
"Jace, I cant believe we have to go to detention tonight."
"I know, its so gay. When are football tryouts?"
"Tomorrow after school."
"You'll be on the team wont you?"
"Yeah, hopefully captain or something, but yes I will be there, and I suspect you'll make the team considering theres like not many good seniors."
"Awesome. I have to go to history 2, you've got history 1 yeah?"
"Yeah, Ill see you at lunch mate."
"Yep." Jace walked into the History 2 room, making sure to get a seat at the back. He sat down and checked his phone while waiting for the teacher to enter. While he was waiting, someone came and sat next to him, and with a sideways look realised it was Aline Penhallow.
"Hi Jace." Aline said using a flirty voice from beside him. Jace put on his most charming smile and turned to face her.
"Aline, is it? Hello, pleasure making your acquaintance."
Aline giggled, an annoying, high pitch giggle which Jace struggled not to roll his eyes at, and just winked at her.
"Jacey, I would love to get to know you better," she said leaning down towards him and brushing her hand over Jace's thigh. Jace rolled his eyes, not obvious enough for Aline to notice though.
"Aline, I love where your going with this." Jace said in a deep seductive voice,"But if you call me Jacey again I may kill you."
Aline giggled again like a hyena,"OH Jacey, your so funny."
Jace groaned and turned to the teacher that had just entered the classroom, tuning her out and thinking back to last night. After they'd left the Fray's house, he and Izzy had gone home, neither discussing the panic attack they had just witnessed Clary have, neither saying what they needed to say. Jace had taken dinner to his room and eaten there, watching tv as he ate and then later returning the plate to the kitchen.
He had fallen asleep a few hours later, waking up at 4 in the morning with cold sweats. He had sat up gasping for air, alarmed that for the first time in 2 years, the small brown-haired girl had not called for him in his dream. Did that mean she no longer needed, wanted or cared about him? Jace had sat up contemplating that, but being unable to sleep had just gone for a run and gotten ready for the day. Back in history, Jace was back to thinking about what the dream had signified.
" ? The answer?"
Jace frowned, what were they learning about? About world war 2 he was pretty sure.
"Adolf Hitler?"
The teacher tried to mask her shocked face. "Thankyou, , next time pay attention in my class."
"Well I would, you know, acknowledge that request, except that I can still correctly identify the questions, implying that I could ace the test, without studying or even turning up for classes." Jace finished with a smirk.
"Mr. Lightwood, could you please refrain from being so-"
"Incredible. Attractive? Sorry miss, I don't see that as an option."
"Yes, I am aware you would think that. Please keep your self-assurance to yourself next time though Jace."
Jace rolled his eyes and the teacher returned to teaching, ignoring the golden haired boy up the back playing on his phone. Jace recorded the homework and hurried out as the bell went, dumping his stuff in his locker and then strolling to the cafeteria. He strutted in and made for the table in the centre, slotting in beside Jon at the end of the table. Slowly the cafeteria filled, and Jace noticed his sister walk in and sit beside Clary, about 4 tables away from his current table. Jace vision was suddenly blocked by black straight hair, and a pair of lips covering his.
Clary sat down with Izzy, the pair of them complaining about the running they had to do in P.E. Just as Clary opened her muesli bar, she noticed Izzy motioning gagging.
"Iz?"
"My brother. Ugh, people are trying to eat lunch."
Clary followed her line of vision, resting eventually on Jace who was kissing Aline. At first he looked surprised but he soon pulled her onto his lap and kissed her more. Clary laughed, turning back to Izzy.
"That is disturbing Iz, quite but just ignore him."
Izzy groaned, "Why cant he just choose someone and have a girlfriend."
Clary laughed, "He shouldn't have a problem he's really attractive, and damn sexy."
"Ew Clary unless your going to change my brothers way do not crush on my brother."
"You were admiring my brother, Im just returning the favour." The girls laughed and were soon joined by Maia and Simon, who sat down with their trays moments later. The four of them joked and laughed for the rest of lunch, and just as the bell went Jon and Jace came over, Aline slotted in under Jace's arm clinging like a lost puppy.
"So, we've got detention and wont be at our house, your free to use our house Clare, we'll come back at like 5:00 or something."
"Jon, how did you get detention on the second day?"
"It takes skill Clare, quite a bit. SO where will you guys hang out?"
Clary looked at Izzy, contemplating whose house. "I don't know, one of them what does it matter."
"It doesn't, see you in music sis." Jace, Jon and Aline waltzed off, leaving Clary and Izzy to discuss whose house.
"Clary, what if we go shopping for Friday?"
"Iz, I don't know, I-"
"Yes, Clary we have to, Im paying and we'll find a killer outfit."
"Fine," Clary grumbled out, dreading the shopping trip. Izzy grinned and flounced off to Physcology, leaving Clary at art. Clary walked in and sat down in one of the middle rows, an easel in front of her. The classroom slowly filled up leaving Clary seated next to Simon and a spare seat on her right.
"All right today class we're going to be partnering with the person beside you to create a sketch, or plan for a sculpture you will have to create. This project will run for 2 weeks, so make it an achievable plan please, the handout displays any requirements or restrictions, and please do not think that you just snuck into my class unnoticed, luckily for you, you'll be working with Clary, who should be able to keep you focused. Off you go everyone."
There was a scraping of chairs as everyone moved out to go and collect their sketchpads and discuss with their partner, except for Jace and Clary; Clary already had her sketchpad out and Jace just didn't want to get his out.
"So, Clary, What are you wanting to sculpt?"
"I uh, don't mind Jace. Any ideas?"
"I do have one, but, you could be objected to it."
"Its something perverted isn't it. Well yes I am objected to it."
"Back to square one then."
"Yes. What about a po-"
"A pot? That's very original Fray, very original, however did you come up with that brilliant idea?"
"A pot, with different carvings and pictures around the outside."
"I guess that could possibly work. Or not." Jace said thoughtfully. Clary rolled her eyes and began sketching a design for a pot, with swirling designs along the side.
"Clary we haven't decided yet."
"I know, I'm just sketching just in case. You are so different when you put your cocky annoying walls up, just so you know Jace."
Jace raised an eyebrow. "Good to know." They spent the rest of the lesson, bantering back and forth and coming to no agreement by the time the bell had gone. Annoyed, Clary left the art room and rushed towards the music room smiling at Izzy when she ran into her. Together they walked in and took their seats, Simon by their side as well.
"How was art?"
"Ugh, I have to do an assignment with your arse of a brother Iz, he's impossible."
"I think you mean impossibly incredibly handsome, Clary." Jace said butting in from behind. Clary looked pointedly at Izzy.
"Exhibit a."
Izzy laughed and pushed her brother away who went and sat down next to Jon who rolled his eyes at Jace. The teacher walked in and silenced them, telling them about a composition piece they would be working on. Clary groaned as asked if they could work in groups, and when given an affirmative rushed to pair with izzy and Simon. Simon on guitar, and Clary and Izzy singing. The teacher gave them the rest of class to work on it and retired to his computer. The group all talked together in a huddle, trying to choose something but coming up short. By the end of the lesson everyone had moved to computers to start properly composing but they had yet to decide on anything. The teacher rolled his eyes.
"This is generally the reason we request students to do their own work but never mind, lets be a bit more productive tomorrow yes?"
The three laughed and nodded, trailing out the doors and to their lockers. Clary bumped into Jon on the way out.
"You'll be right Clare?"
"Yes, Jon, Im not 10, ill survive the big scary mall."
Jon rolled his eyes, but raised an eyebrow at his sister. TO anyone else it would look as though he was asking politely and she responded sarcastically, but that was just to cover up the legitimate question asked using no words. Clary nodded slightly and gave Jon a one arm hug, before rushing to catch up with Izzy and Simon.
At her locker Clary let Izzy put her books in and then followed with her books, grabbing the few required books for homework and left to Simon's locker, which was near Maia's. Once they all had their books and bags they left out the front doors, laughing and joking around. Izzy stalked over to Alec's car, pushing Jordan out of the way in the process. Maia huffed and kissed him, slinging her arm round his waist.
"Alec, we ned you to drop us at the mall."
"Uh hi to you too Iz. Are you sure they really want to go?"
Izzy turned around and looked at her friends, her eyes narrowing on Simon.
"Why don't you want to go?"
"Well, I just don't think I'll have much to do."
"Fine, just the 3 of us."
Alec rolled his eyes, "Whatever, get in."
Izzy grinned and motioned for her friends to get in the back, and she hopped in the front.
"Hey guys, Im Alec."
"Hi Alec, Im Clary."
"Maia."
"Hello Clary and Maia, are you excited for hours upon hours of disguised torture?"
Izzy slapped Alec, who was grinning at the girls through the rear-view mirror.
"No, I should have backed out when I had the chance."
"Yes you should have Clary."
Clary laughed and relaxed into the interior of Alec's car. The drive lasted 10 minutes, and before long Alec was pulling into the loading bay of the mall.
"Give me a call when you need to be picked up Iz, have fun girls!"
They waved goodbye to the retrieving car and followed Izzy up the front steps of the mall. Izzy narrowed her eyes.
"I have final say on the clothes for Friday, and Im paying for everything. No exceptions. Lets get to work."
Maia and Clary simultaneously groaned and trooped after Izzy, who turned into the nearest clothing store, pulling a bunch of clothes off the rack, shoving them at the girls and pushing them into change rooms. They girls changed, outfit after outfit, but Clary found nothing she liked, and Izzy certainly didn't like any of them. Maia found short leather high waisted shorts and a white midriff top though, that she picked and ended up getting. Izzy beamed,"Lovely choice Maia! It looked amazing on you! Now, shoes and Clary."
Clary rolled her eyes and followed Izzy into store after store finding no luck in clothes. At the 3rd store though, Izzy found exactly what she was looking for for herself. She came out of the changing rooms, grinning.
"What do you think?"
"Iz, you look incredible!"
Izzy smiled and twirled, admiring the dress. It was short, and a deep red colour, with a high neckline and very tight on her skin, with and extra skirt/fabric attached at the waist to make it more classy. Izzy also found black strappy pumps from the store and purchased it, still finding no luck for Clary.
"Clary, we have like one hour left to find you something absolutely stunning! Do you prefer short or long?"
"Uh, depends."
"Skirt or pants."
Clary frowned, "Probably pants, but I don't mind nice dresses."
Izzy nodded slowly. "Right well your skinny enough to pull off a crop top ad normal jeans. Here, try this."
Izzy said turning into a store on her right. She pulled out skinny faded blue jeans and a black lacy midriff top, shoving it all at Clary. Clary gathered it in her arms and went into the change rooms, trying it all on and stepping out for the girls to see.
Izzy gushed, "Clary you look hot as! Just wait, I'll be back."
Clary stood there awkwardly. "Here you go babe, try this on." Clary took the skirt Izzy was holding out and reentered the change rooms. It was a coral colour, high waisted and stopping mid thigh, hugging Clary's form and showing off her almost non-existent curves. Izzy grinned.
"Yes, that's the right one."
"Totally is." Maia agreed. Clary shrugged and changed back into her clothes, handing Isabelle the clothes to purchase. Clary exited the change rooms to find Izzy holding up a bag to her, smirking slightly.
"There we go, this hasn't been too bad has it?"
Clary rolled her eyes, "Iz we've been here for like 3 hours, it has been so long."
"You'll get used to it. Now, shoes." She turned into a shoe store and immediately handed Clary a box. "Try these on, theres a good chance Ill buy them for you anyway so just make sure they fit." Clary groaned, upon seeing how tall the heels were.
They were chunky, at least, with a thick band around the ankle and just above the toe. Clary had to admit that they were very nice and as they were black matched with her outfit well. She tried to stand up, nearly falling on her face but managed to catch herself in time, wobbling around the courtesy chair.
"Iz their gorgeous, but I cant walk in them."
Izzy waved her hand dismissevely. "You'll get used to them." Clary put them back in the box and handed it off to Izzy who strutted up to the counter and paid for them, as well as Maia's shoes which were strappy coral stilettos. The girls left the store smiling, and made their way to the nearest boost store (for those who don't know it's a juice bar type thing in Australia. I don't know if they have them in America) and each ordered their drinks. Berry for Clary and Izzy and banana for Maia. They sipped their drinks and gushed over their new clothes as they waited for Alec. He pulled up a while later and they piled in, telling Alec their addresses. He dropped Maia off first, who got out grinning and thanking Izzy, lugging her bags up to her porch and disappearing inside.
"Now for Clary. I think Jace might be at your house Clary."
"Yeah wouldn't be surprised, them being detention buddies and all."
"Yeah I know right."
The rest of the ride was silent, until they pulled up to Clary's house.
"Do you guys want to come in? My parents are out and if Jace is here you'll have to go get him anyway."
"Yeah ok, I'll help carry your stuff up." Izzy said collecting Clary's shopping bags which left Clary with her school bag. They walked up to the front porch and Clary carefully pushed the door open opening it wide to allow the 2 Lightwoods entry.
"Jon!" Clary yelled. "Jon, get your ass down here!"
She heard laughter from upstairs and Jon and Jace came down the stairs, sharing some private joke between them.
"Something funny Jon?"
"No, nothing. Did you guys find clothes?"
"Yes."
"Well then lets see," Jace said reaching for Clary's bag. Clary rolled her eyes and handed Jace the bag looking curiously at Izzy who had started laughing for no apparent reason.
"Izzy are you ok?"
She nodded between breaths and we all just turned away, back to Jace who was poking through my bag.
"OH, we have some typically boring skirt a rather-my my Clary, that's a short top and, Clary Fray? Whats this? Maybe you aren't as innocent as I thought."
Clary frowned and snatched the bag from a laughing Jace and peered in, seeing what both Lightwoods were cracking up about.
"Isabelle! What!" Clary exclaimed, upon seeing the black lacy thong and lacy bra, both which Clary would never wear. Jon frowned.
"What is all this about?"
Clary was about to pull the bag away but she wasn't quick enough, as Jace snatched in ad reached in, holding up the thong and bra for her brother.
"Jonny Fray, good luck keeping guys away from your baby sister when shes strutting around in this!"
Jon fumed at Jace. "Jace, are thinking or my sister walking around in that! That's sick!"
Clary groaned, "Izzy, I can believe you! I didn't buy them, I didn't know they were there, obviously because I let Jace look."
Jon shrugged, but still half glared at his friend holding up the lingerie. Jace chuckled and put the items back in the bag, handing it back to Clary.
"And on that note, we'll be gone."
"Right. Bye Jace. See ya Iz, thanks for everything and see you Alec, thanks for the rides and stuff."
"Clary I am deeply offended, you barely gave me a goodbye."
Clary rolled her eyes. "What would you prefer?"
"Well, Im pretty sure your brother would kill me if I said what I really would prefer, but how about a hug?" He said opening his arms wide and grinning cheekily.
Clary rolled her eyes and hugged him, throwing her arms around his neck. She was surprised, and knew he felt it too when she felt him stiffen. The hug just felt so familiar. Comforting, homey and Clary didn't want to let go. She could tell Jace was the same by the way he pulled her right into her chest, and rested his head on her shoulder. Finally someone cleared their throat, causing the pair to jump apart, and for Clary to blush furiously; Jace to clear his throat awkwardly.
"Thank you for that Clary, we'll just work our way up with our goodbyes, until I get what I would really prefer."
Jon punched his friends arm lightly, sending him a glare.
"Jace, stop flirting with my sister, especially while I'm here."
Jace flashed Clary a grin and winked, gave Jon a clap on the back and breezed out the door.
"Well that was nice and awkward." Izzy said cheerily. "Ill see you guys tomorrow."
"See ya Iz, Alec." Alec waved slightly and disappeared out the front door, closing it with a snap.
A/N Sorry about the bad ending, it really finished no where. Anyway, I'm so sorry about the wait, I will get worse and worse with updates but I was hoping to keep up with a regular update for a while, but our internet had cut out. Thankfully its back on, so I shouldn't have many problems. Please review and stuff that greatly motivates me to write, and I'm still trying to reach the 60 review mark, which would give you an update tomorrow! Anyway Ive written heaps, from when they find out who each other are, its just set later on so I have to go back and write the mostly boring filler stuff which I have a bad habit of doing. So yeah please review, it means so much, and suggestions are welcome! xx
