Hey guys, it's a little later then I expected But I've been busy this weekend. It's actually my brothers birthday and I just finished this last minute... Well enjoy!

Chapter 2

Jace POV

I can't believe she kissed him. That should've been me. Why would she go for a guy like him, he's an asshole! Why not someone like me, I'm so much better then Sebastian. Izzy says she has a brother, I wonder if he would approve of his baby sister having a boyfriend-

"Jace?" A voice cut through my thoughts, "what the hell are you doing?" Clary asks, enraged. As I look at her face I realize I was still staring out the window with clenched fists when she saw me. She must think I was watching her, not that I wasn't. I need an excuse...

"Nothing! I was just walking by and saw you coming inside and decided to wait for you." That sound valid enough, right? And it's not a lie, I just saw her a little before when I said I did. She raises both eyebrows.

"Right. And why do you look so angry?" She accuses. Excuse I need another excuse.

"Because my girlfriend-ex-girlfriend, was bragging about being my girlfriend. That was 2 years ago. She hasn't gotten over my beauty yet." Clary scoffs, she really must hate me.

"Whatever. Tell Izzy I went home." She says and I feel disappointment flow through me. I guess I will only see her when she comes over to see Izzy, not that I care.

"Whatever. It's not like anyone cares if you leave." She flinches and looks at me with a fire in her eyes.

"Yea? At least I care about people. I may not be a self centered, arrogant bastard like you, but at least I have feelings." She storms out and I gape. Ouch.

Clary POV

Why does he have to be like that! If he wasn't self centered, arrogant, sarcastic, or rude, I might actually like him! I storm into my house and run into my brother Jon.

"Woah little sister, what's gotten into you?" Jon asks me with wide eyes.

"Selfish, rude, and arrogant that's who." I tell Jon with a glare.

"It's fine Clare, I'll kick his ass for you!" I roll my eyes.

"You don't even know who "he" is!" I yell, exasperated. Jon looks at me accusingly

"So it is a he!" He yells triumphantly and I roll my eyes. "Did "he" break your heart? Clary I told you you couldn't date till you were 30, only 9 more years! Why did you have to disobey now!" Jon asks me.

"HE WASN'T MY FREAKING BOYFRIEND!" I yell and storm upstairs. I grab my sketchbook and a pencil. I climb out my window and onto the roof. The roof is where I go if I'm angry or sad. I like to sit up here at night and draw the city. I start to sketch the moonlit city. I am drawing the houses on the same street as ours when I notice Jon has incorporated himself into the drawing. He is standing on the sidewalk, looking at me with an eyebrow raised. I smile sheepishly and finish up my sketch then climb down.

"Sorry I got so mad Jon, Jace just frustrates me." I tell him and he looks at me quizzically.

"Jace Herondale?" He asks me and I nod.

"Stay away from him Clare-Bear. He's a player and will use you." I nod.

"I figured from the arrogant selfish attitude." I huff.

Jon pulls me towards him by my upper arms and kisses my forehead. "Get

Some sleep baby sister." He tells me and I crawl into bed.

As he leaves I yell out "by the way, Jon. I have a boyfriend!" Jon rushes into my room

"Screw sleep, WHAT!?" He tells and I laugh.

"Sebastian Verlac." I tell him and he nods.

"I approve." I gape at him.

"Really?" I ask, bewildered. Usually if I even mention a boy he tells me no. Even if it's something as innocent as a school project.

"Definitely. He's a good guy. He was one of my best friends in high school." I beam and he chuckles.

"Now, go to sleep!" He tells me, and I do.

I text Sebastian and ask why he never told me he knew Jon. Then Jon comes in.

"I'm throwing a party this weekend." I shake my head.

"No definitely not. Mom would kill you." I tell him.

"Mom already texted, she has another art convention this weekend." Of course...

I look at him uncertainly until he says-

"Your boyfriend can come. And you can invite some of your friends." I think for a second then nod.

"As long as I can invite whoever I want." I tell him and he nods then he leaves, to do whatever it is guys do in their free time. I brush my teeth and try to tame my unruly curls. I get dressed in skinny jeans and a paint splattered shirt. I go downstairs and make myself some coffee. I sip my coffee as I heat up some left over pancakes. My phone buzzes, signaling that I have a text, so I grab it out of my pocket and look at the screen. It says:

Sebastian(1)

Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go out again today? I know it's short notice, but if your available, I'll pick you up in an hour.

I unlock my phone and happily reply:

Yea, I don't think I have anything going on today, so see you in an hour!

I put my phone back in my pocket, not bothering to wait for a reply. 10 minutes later, when I'm done with my pancakes, Jon walks in looking tired.

"Hey Jon!" I greet him cheerfully. He gives me a weird look.

"Hi...?" He says uncertainly and I laugh at him, "Why are you so happy this... Fine" (note the sarcasm) "morning?" I laugh.

"Oh nothing... Shit! I have to get ready for my date with Seb!" Jon looks at me knowingly.

"Oooh Clary's got it bad!" Jon teases and I blush.

"Shut up." I tell him and head upstairs.

*line break

The doorbell rings and I go downstairs. It's 11 am on the dot. I am wearing an emerald green bikini with a white and blue coverup dress. Seb told me we are going to the beach and to wear a swimsuit. I've never been to the beach. Well I guess I have but I don't really remember it. It was years ago, when mom and Luke were home all the time and not always at an art convention. They didn't tell me or Jon where we were going so we were antsy and restless the whole time. We had a great time from what I remember though.

*line break*

I splash Sebastian, then laugh at his betrayed expression.

He looks at me seriously "Clarissa Adele Fray." He scolds " You are definitely going to regret that." He lunges at me and grabs me by the waist. He swings me up into his shoulder and I laugh. I hit his back playfully.

"Put me down!" I screech.

"Alright." He says mischievously and throws me into the water. I barely have time to scream, then I'm underwater. I come up and look around for Sebastian.

"Seb?" I call out. I look at the beach and don't see him. He-

"Boo!" I scream and turn around o see Sebastian smiling in victory. I glare at him and he laughs.

"Better luck next time Princess..." He says and I roll my eyes and follow him out of the water.

Sorry it's so short! I tried... Next chapter will be extra long and something actually interesting will happen for the first time in this story...
