JPOV:

I could see something was evidently wrong, but she had that determined look in her eye, and I knew there was no one I could get her to tell me… Unless she was distracted. I had an idea…

I took a step closer to her, and she slowly backed away, until her back was touching the locker,

"J-J-ace, what are you doing," Clary whispered,

In the process of finding information from her, I was distracted. I could not be distracted! Nevertheless, the way her soft, kissable lips curved, and her bottom lip jutted out, I found myself very off task. I originally planned to make her squirm until she told me, but now that idea seemed suddenly less important, than her. Of course, she was beautiful, and we have always been best friends, but she has never known my real purpose in her life…

I was her undercover bodyguard; I was lethal and dangerous, and very good at my job… I guess that is why her mother hired me. She was constantly in danger, fro threat, she did not even know about. Her mother told her what she thought clary needed to know, and that was it. Me being a trained assassin and undercover bodyguard was not in the need to know priorities.

Even though I led a dangerous, and unusual life, I was still just a teenager, and like any teenage boy, I was attracted to sweet, and innocent Clary. I knew I was not good enough for her, but we had been friends even before I had my specialized training.

My back was pressed hard against the cool metal locker, but my face had still managed to heat up. Jace had mischievous look about his face, and he was standing a little too close for comfort. As if a switch went off, suddenly Jace's eyes become more focused, and his face was composed to a blank expression.

"Clary, I'm going to ask you what's wrong one more time," His threat was as sharp as his minty breath that fanned across my face.

I shook my head and attempted to control my face, as he had composed his, just as I was about to answer, Sebastian walked down the hallway, and looked at our suspicious position.

Jace quickly backed away, and I released a breath I had not realized I was holding.

SPOV

The minute I saw her in Mrs. Cadaver's class this morning, I knew she was my target. My boss told me to gain this girl's trust, and then phase two would be initiated- a plan that I myself was not granted access to. My first mission was to get her alone, but Jace seemed to constantly by her side.

When I turned the corner, I was not prepared to see the girl. She was flush against the locker, and Jace was almost in contact with her. Jace muttered something I could not hear, and then both seemed to sense my approach, and quickly separated.

Clary looking mortified said as casually as possible,

"Hey Sebastian"

"Hey Clary," I said, "So about that partners project, are we still working together?"

Clary's face to lighten and she nodded quickly. I almost felt bad about the plan, but then again she is just another face on my to kill list. Of course, there was an order that I had to follow before she became another one of my defeated prey.
