A/N: Hey guys! Here's another chapter. There isn't a lot of Clace in this one, but next chapter is going to have a lot. I hope you enjoy it.

I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, making sure my curls weren't completely crazy. They were tamed, which I was very thankful for. I haven't really dated before. I mean I went out with Simon a couple time's freshman, but it didn't really count. I adjusted my skirt, chewing my lip. Gosh, I shouldn't be this nervous. I shook out my hands, stepping out of the bathroom.

"Where are you going?" Jace asked from the couch. He and Alec had been playing video games all afternoon, which I was fine with because Jace would leave me alone.

"Out." I grabbed my side bag, stuffing my phone into it. I had been avoiding telling him because I knew he was going to be annoying about this. He hates Sebastian, and now I am going on a date with him.

"Out where? Where on the world are you going? You're wearing a skirt and you shaved. You only shave every other Thursday, and you shaved last Thursday." He explained, pausing his game.

"How do you know that?!" I exclaimed, widening my eyes at him.

"You get shaving cream all over the bathroom." He snorted, crossing his arms. "Where are you going?" He glanced me up and down. I can't believe he pays that much attention to the bathroom!

"I have a date." I huffed, slinging my back over my shoulder. Please don't say anything. Please just let me leave.

"With who?" He furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Is it so hard to believe that I have a date?" I rolled my eyes, beginning to walk towards the door.

"No, Clare, that's not what I meant." He stepped in front of me. "Just who are you going with? I want to make sure you're ok." He murmured, stepping closer to me.

"Sebastian." I sighed, knowing he wasn't going to like this, which is why I didn't tell him to begin with.

"What?!" He exclaimed, getting in front of me so I couldn't leave.

"I know you two don't like each other, but I like him. I'm going to go." I moved around him heading towards the door.

"Clary, you don't understand. He just uses girls. I don't want you to get hurt." He caught my arm, keeping me from leaving.

"I'm a big girl, Jace. We also hardly know each other, so you have no right to protect me. Now let me go." I kept my eyes forward, waiting for him to release me. His fingers I grasped my arm, letting me walk away from him.

"If you feel uncomfortable at all call me, and I'll get you." He yelled after me.

"Ok, fine." I grumbled, as I ran down the stairs. I got outside, and Sebastian was waiting for me. He was leaning against a car, which made my jaw drop when I realized it was a mustang. "Wow. I didn't know you drove that." I grinned, stopping in front of him.

"Well I do." He chuckled, pushing himself off the side of the car.

"How far is the gallery?" I couldn't stop the smile that was growing on my face.

"Like 10 minutes." He shrugged, opening the door for me. I sighed, wishing it was a little further, so I could be in this car longer. He climbed into his seat, turning the engine on, which made me hum in satisfaction. I've never wanted to have sex with someone this much in my life, but I can restrain myself. Deep breaths. The engine roared, as we sped down the road. "So you like the car?" He asked, snickering to himself.

"Oh, I- yeah." I wrinkled my nose, feeling my cheeks heat up.

"We can take a little detour before the gallery?" He laughed, glancing over at me.

"What kind of detour?" I raised my eye brows, wondering what he meant.

"You'll see." He chuckled, slamming on the gas. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, as we sped down the road. I squeaked when he took a sharp right, making me clutch the panic handle. This is one of the most thrilling things I have done in my life. I know that probably sounded stupid, but this car is amazing. I bit my lip, feeling electricity course through my veins. It felt like we were going a million miles an hour, as he slammed on the breaks, sending us around another corner. We slid into the parking lock, stopping in a parking space. I giggled uncontrollably, not wanting to stop the ride. "Have fun?" Sebastian teased, turning the engine off.

"Yes." I laughed, dropping my head back against the head rest.

"Good." He smiled. "Do you want to drive us home?" He offered, knowing I couldn't refuse.

"Seriously?" I exclaimed, feeling slightly panicked about doing that.

"Yeah." He nodded, still grinning widely at me.

"I don't think so." I laughed, reaching for the door handle. "I don't think I could handle this engine." I pulled on the handle, beginning to open the door

"No, no, allow me." He climbed out of the car, quickly walking over to my side to open the door.

"Thank you." I put one foot out, as he offered me a hand. I took it, letting him help me out of the mustang. Once I was out, he kept a light hold of my hand, making my cheeks feel hot. I'm actually on a date with one of the most popular guys in school. This is so weird. He weaved our fingers together, leading me into the building. There were mostly adults in the room, but I didn't really care. "You didn't say this was an Andy Warhol exhibit." I flicked my eyes around the screen prints that had been made famous many years ago.

"I guess I just didn't think to." He shrugged, as I held onto his arm

"Wow." I gaped, leading us to the first screen print. I have never seen such expensive art in person! This was amazing!

OoOoO

By the end of the gallery, I had spent most of my time looking at the work. Sebastian did try to pull me away a few times to talk to people he knew, but they didn't interest me in the least. All I wanted to do was look at the artwork.

"Thanks so much for bringing me." I smiled, as I settled into the passenger seat.

"No problem." He grinned back at me before revving the engine to life. The ride back wasn't nearly as exciting, and I actually started to feel a little awkward. He was looking straight ahead, driving normally, but for some reason it felt different. He pulled in front of my apartment, putting the car in park. "I had a great time tonight." The words seemed forced, but at the same time sincere.

"Yeah, again thank you for bringing me. I know you didn't have to." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, wondering what exactly I was supposed to do now. I didn't really have time to think because the next thing I knew his mouth was on mine. I almost didn't respond because I was so surprised. I moved my lips against his, feeling like something was off. His mouth was weird and hard or something. Kisses are supposed to be soft. Man, I think his lips were chapped or something. I drew away a few second later, running my fingers through my hair and plastering a smile on my face. "I'll see you at school." I nodded at him, as I climbed out of the car.

"See you." He said after me. I closed the door, and he drove off. That kiss wasn't what I thought it would be. I ran up the stairs to my apartment, walking briskly to my room. Jace was lounged on the bed with a computer ion his lap.

"How was the date?" Jace asked, keeping his eyes on the screen.

"It was good. Did you know he drives a mustang?" I grinned, shrugging my sweater off.

"Yep." He nodded, not really caring.

"I'm going to change." I stated, grabbing some pjs, and heading towards the bathroom.

A/N: To those who ask me if I can do a Jace POV, the answer is no. I don't think I could ever accurately write from Jace's perspective because he is a complicated person. I have tried before, and I never like it. You will however be learning a lot about Jace in the next chapter.

What did you guys think?

Is there anything you want to know about these characters? I should be able to incorporate it into the next chapter.

Please review!
