Jace's P.O.V.
When I arrived at out meeting spot, I saw Isabelle talking excitedly to Alec. When she saw me she ran to me and said,
"Okay, tell me everything" She was wide eyed and she looked like a little kid waiting for her present in Christmas.
"It was nothing interesting really, just boring studying," I lied. She crossed her arms and looked at me with fierce eyes.
"Yeah right. Tell us the truth, cause even if it doesn't look like it, Alec wants to know too". I raised an eyebrow at Alec, and he shrugged.
"Dude, I'm sorry but everyone knows she's a hot bitch. I wanted to know if you could get to her," he said.
"She's not a bitch," I snapped, instantly defending Clary. They both raised their eyebrows, and looked at each other. This made me a little nervous, but I just ignored it. After a while Isabelle laughed and shouted,
"FINALLY! JACE WAYLAND HAS A CRUSH!" At that I quickly put my hand on her mouth before she could shout anything else.
"I am not crushing on Clary," I said firmly, but I didn't even believe myself.
"Oh, so you don't mind that Sebastian might've told me he was going to ask her out tomorrow…?" he said itching to see my reaction. Well, if he wanted a burst of anger out of me, he got it.
"WHAT?" I shouted. Okay Jace, keep yourself together. I calmed down and said,
"Look, I do care, you got me. But… she's the first girl who doesn't come easily to me!". Both Lightwood siblings smiled widely, and Alec said,
"Well Jace, nothing worth it is easy. And, by the way, Sebastian didn't really tell me, because we all know how antisocial I am, but I heard him say so to that Simon dude". Then he seemed to remember something and said,
"Oh I forgot! He wasn't just going to ask her out… you do know about the dance on Saturday right? Well, he was going to ask her as his date". I grabbed my head, as if trying to keep my head together. This wasn't good at all.
"But guys… I don't do dances," I said miserably. They both looked at me with expressions of "we know". But then Isabelle said,
"Well you don't do relationships either, and we don't go to lunch either… so I guess it's a year of new things". That's when Alec laughed and shouted,
"YES! We are finally going to a dance".
Clary's P.O.V.
Let's just say my brain was a mess. I was mixed into thinking about how much Jace is amazing and hot and strong… but I was also thinking and reliving the moment when he was about to kiss me…. And reliving the moment when he told me about his father, how vulnerable he had been, and how much trust he had put in me…. But then, I was also thinking about what awaited me at home. And that was freaking scary. I silently Jace was with me. With his attitude of 'I float above the world' he could easily face this. But he was not with me… I was alone. I took a deep breath as I turned, and saw my house in the distance. Since I didn't take my car, I had to walk/run home. Outside my house, I could hear nothing from inside. And you could always hear something when you were outside my house, either shouts or laughter, but you could hear something. But it was eerily quiet. I suddenly remembered what Luke used to say, It's always calm before a storm. Shivering with nervousness and fear I reached to open the door, but I heard suddenly,
"Clary! Wait!". I turned with a smile and saw Simon running towards me.
"Hey Si, what's up?". Thank God, he was here. He was going to save me some time before the huge dilemma. I saw he was panting, so he said between breaths,
"So… do you know what day is tomorrow?" I pretended to think hard about it, but of course I knew that tomorrow was…
"Your Birthday!" I squealed, "How could I not know Simon?" I asked with mock offense. He laughed and said the only thing that could've made me happier than anything,
"Well, don't worry I already called your house and talked to Darth Vader…" he means my dad, "and he allowed you to stay over at my house, because… today's my party!" he said excitedly. Oh Simon, you don't know how much you saved me today, I thought. Then, returning to our conversation, I asked,
"Why today?"
"Well, because I want everyone to congratulate me the minute the clock strikes twelve" He said smiling. I laughed so hard, I started getting out of breath. Only Simon could've thought of something like that.
"Well let's go then! Who's going to be there?" I asked in between chuckles.
"The whole freaking school and many other friends of ours, cause Magnus got the word out" He said, practically glowing. I started laughing like a maniac again, and wondered foolishly if Jace would be there, but I knew about his antisocial life, so my hopes were slim… But my thoughts were interrupted by someone yanking my arm and practically dragging me to the red Audi.
"Oh, and Clary?" Simon asked when we were already seated in his car.
"What?" I asked pretty confused and expecting… well, bad news.
"There will be someone there that wants to talk to you… if you know what I mean" he sad with a smirk. I actually didn't know what he meant, but I remembered the last time he said that was the day my ex boyfriend made the move to kiss me. So this meant…
"Wait, someone's going to ask me out?" I asked praying I was wrong. The only person I wanted to ask me out was Jace, but I knew he wasn't referring to him.
"Wait and see" Simon whispered as we arrived at the party exactly five minutes before twelve.
Jace's P.O.V.
As we were heading home, Alec got a text. Isabelle and I tried to peek at it, but he said,
"Guys, this is from Magnus". I wrinkled my nose in disgust, but I was glad that Alec had finally come out. You see, he's gay. His boyfriend is this guy named Magnus that's in Clary group of popular friends, and he's glitter all over and wears only bright colors. He looks like a walking rainbow.
"Oh Jace, you'll love me for this" Alec said smiling at me. I looked over his shoulder and read:
Simon Lewis' place, arrive a little before twelve.
We're having the party of the year, everyone will be there.
You HAVE to come! You can bring your two little weird friends if you like.
Can't wait to see you ;)
"Are we really going?" I asked whining.
"You should be thanking me! Clary will be there, you can find out if she's going to the dance with Verlac, and Isabelle can finally talk to—" Alec said before being cut off by an angry Isabelle.
"Shut up Alec! He doesn't know yet!" Isabelle shouted. She then turned to me and said,
"I also have an 'never gonna happen' crush. It's Clary's best friend Simon… but you tell a soul and I'll make your life a living hell," Isabelle warned. I laughed and said,
"Well guys it seems like we're becoming social. Let's go win some hearts at this party…" I said smirking at both of them.
"Oh shut up!" They said in unison as I laughed my head off.
Hey guys! How what do you think will happen at the party? I'm already thinking it's going to shock all of you, but still tell me what you think. Are you liking it so far? REVIEW!
