Thoughts are in Italics

Jaces P.O.V.

I cannot believe I didn't see that coming. Of course something was wrong. They don't eat in the cafeteria in silence. They were planning this from the beginning.

The only good thing about this is that none of those bastards got me in the nuts. No way in hell am I going to give Jon the satisfaction of seeing that.

I never even bothered to get up from the bench for the rest of practice. Coach didn't care. I don't want to think that he was in on it but when he didn't ask questions I knew something was up. Jon's reach apparently extends to the faculty. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that since our championship winning team receives booster donations which accounts for a big chunk of the schools budget.

The rest of practice zooms by. Jon has the biggest smile on his face the entire time. Enjoy it while it lasts. I leave a few minutes early and get dressed. There's no way I want to be caught alone with them in the locker room. As I'm leaving to guys start arriving. The ones with decency ignore me, the others have smug looks on their faces. Bastards! I go and wait by stupid Alec's car. I'm still dependent on my brother for god knows how long. Hopefully Maryse and Robert get me car and soon.

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

Alec is stretching trying to appear busy when in reality his mind is racing faster than he can comprehend. Clary is the only thing he can even remotely concentrate on. He never thought a girl could make him feel like that. When he finally saw her she was walking towards him in a much more conservative outfit. Sadly for him she was in an underarmor shirt with running shorts and black running shoes. She could be wearing a jacket with sweat pants and he would still think her the most beautiful girl in the world.

She is so pretty. Oh crap she's coming straight towards me. Focus.

"Hey Alec. You wanted to talk to me?" She stands in front of me with her hands gently behind her back while looking up at him expectantly.

"Hi Clary. Yeah I did." He tries to keep a composed look but it doesn't work. "I just wanted to know how you are with everything. It can't be easy." Good flip it on her. That should buy you some time.

Clary tensed for a moment. She wasn't expecting that. "Well I wasn't handling it well at first. After talking it out I feel better. It's also a relief that I have friends who always have my back. Plus knowing my brother isn't going around trying to kill people." She chuckled at her last sentence but he knew it was forced.

"Well that's just good news for me. I have come to like my face you know." They both laughed genuinely that time.

"Oh trust me, you're face wouldn't have been the only thing he would have disfigured." She smirked at his reaction.

"Ok I will try to avoid meeting your brother for as long as possible." He smiled. "Then again I will have to meet him at your party so it might be pointless."

"I forgot about that. Just to let you know there's no way anyone will be near me for too long. Jon is already freaking out as it is so I might have guards around me at all times. Wow I can't believe I have a brother who is so overprotective sometimes." Clarys eyes went wide at her realization.

Alec chuckled. "It's not a bad thing to have a brother like that. I used to be like that to Izzy but I soon found it taxing given the amount of attention she attracts. So I only show it to those who get her attention for more than a week."

"Yeah she will never run short on attention. Plus I'm sure you will soon have to show it to a guy she has her attention on." Clary wanted to 'poke the bear' sort of speak.

"What. Who? No wait don't tell me. I might do something stupid and Izzy is crazy enough as it is on her own." Alec said rubbing his temples while Clary watched with an amused look.

"Don't worry I know the guy and you have nothing to worry about. Besides they still aren't there yet so you have time." Clary eyes him trying to be playful.

"As long as they never get there then fine. But we are getting away from the point. I'm glad to hear you are ok with everything that has been going on. Most people wouldn't like all the attention. But you handle it well." Alec said as they both began to warm up.

"Thanks. I didn't really see myself handling it well but I could be worse. Now let's get going before comes and makes us run until we puke." Clary said running ahead so he wouldn't see her blushing.

"Are you kidding? He wouldn't risk his best runner, and by that I mean me." Alec said with a chuckle.

"Oh really? First one to make it back wins."Clary darted forward the track making Alec speed up to catch her.

"You're going to lose Morgenstern." Alec yelled as he gained speed and started to pass her.

"Oh you are so dead." Clary picked up her pace knowing he was going to exert himself. The rest of the team took notice and started cheering them on. Some took Alecs side others Clary. Coach noticed and decided to leave them to their fun. They are pretty much coaching themselves now.

(Practice ends)

"I kicked your ass Lightwood." Clary said out of breath.

"You got lucky Clary. Next time I won't go easy on you." Alec said sounding cocky.

"Mh-hmm. We both know you lost.

"Rematch Wednesday then." Alec said smiling at her.

"Oh no. I'm keeping this win. Besides I don't want to embarrass you anymore." Clary said with an ever bigger smile on her face.

They both laughed and went to change. Practice hasn't been boring so far. Most of the team likes their new coach. Mr. Garroway is very well liked and having a championship wining team helps. Clary emerged from the lockers and decided to leave. She didn't want to push her luck and end up in an awkward conversation with Alec. Halfway to the field Clary heard someone yell her name. Jon apparently saw her coming and ran towards her grabbing his bag along the way.

"Come on lets go." Jon said steering his sister away from the field.

"Why? Why did you run over here when I could have met you there? I know your practice runs late sometimes. I could have waited." She said trying to figure out why he ran over.

"I'm starving. I want to swing by Burger House and get us something to eat. I didn't want the whole team hearing and only going because of you. Did you not see how they looked at you when you came to our table?" Jon asked her with widened eyes as he remembered lunch.

"I didn't. I was only looking at you." Clary said with an incredulous voice. Hopefully Jon won't see through it. "I told you the whole being noticed by guys' thing is still new to me."

"Well they were. Let's get going." Jon ushered Clary towards his car and headed towards Burger House.

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

After Cheerleading Practice

"Camille where is everyone else?" Kaelie asked as she looked around Camille's living room.

"Yeah I thought we were having a meeting." Seelie said as she looked at herself in the hall mirror.

"We are having a meeting." Both girls looked at her confused. "This meeting concerns us and only us." They looked at each other and couldn't reach a conclusion.

"What do you mean?" Kaelie asked.

"We are going to join together and get rid of that bitch Clary." Camille practically spat Clarys name out.

Seelie and Kaelie looked at each other in disbelief as if Camille had just uncovered a secret.

"That slut has Jace, Sebastian and Raphael wrapped around her finger. I've seen her with all three. That bitch can't be happy with one so she is taking all three!" Camille's face remained calm as if she was made of stone. Rage only poured from her eyes and her voice. She looked flawless even when angry.

"SHE HAS ALL THREE!" Seelie screamed. "She couldn't be happy with Sebastian so now she goes after all three? The nerve of that whore."

"I cannot believe Jace actually thinks that tart has anything worth a second look. She can't hold a candle to us. Kaelie seethed.

"That's why I believe between the three of us we can destroy her. There's no way we will allow her to take what belongs to us. We can ruin her reputation and make her a laughing stock among our school." The girls eyed Camille eagerly. They slowly started to smile as what she said was becoming more and more appealing.

"I'm in." Kaelie said enthusiastically.

"Me too." Seelie chimed in.

An ominous little smirk emerged on Camille's face. "Good. Let take the bitch down."

There you have it guys the 'Bitch Clique' is born. No that is not what they will call themselves but it's what the others will. Just my way of adding gasoline to the fire. Let me know what you all think. I am working on her party and I hope I don't let you down.
