A/N- ok, so I've decided to be nice and make a third chapter in one day :) I hope you guys enjoy

Chapter 3

It was now 3rd Period and Simon and I had already parted ways. I headed to Room 3B, where the Chemistry room with Mrs. Dotson was. I walk with my binder and notebooks in hand, nervous for my first class without Simon when the golden boy from Algebra walks up to me.

"Hey, where you headed?" He asks me.

"Uh.. Chemistry with Mrs. Dotson." I reply shyly.

"Well you're in luck my friend, because I just so happen to have that class. Follow me."

"Okay, thank you." I say and follow him down the hall in an awkward silence. The bell rings about a minute before we enter the class room, and Mrs. Dotson looks at us with a, "where have you two been?" look.

"Hi, Mrs. Dotson, I was just helping Clary here to this class." He says with a bit of an arrogant tone, which drops my liking of him from a five to a two.

"Well, if you're tardy again, I'm not gonna let you use her as an excuse." She replies sternly. 'Does he use girls?' I ask myself. No, he wouldn't do that.

"Yes, Mrs. Dotson." He says and sits in a spot in the middle row, and the only spot is next to him. I sit down next to him and he smiles at me.

"You're lucky. You get to sit by me." I just scowl at him lightly and he puts his hands to his heart in mock defense, making me like him even less.

"Why, Little Red. Why are you scowling at me?" That was it.

"Don't you ever call me Little Red. Got it?"

"You got it, Carrot." I really did not like him.

"So how is your day going so far?" Simon asks me as he sits next to me at the lunch table I'm currently sitting at with Isabelle Lightwood, her brother Alec and his boyfriend Magnus Bane.

"It's been... Kinda weird. I met this boy, he is so arrogant and he called me Little Red. I told him not to and he said, 'Got it, Carrot.'"

"Well, he sounds nice." Simon replies sarcastically.

"Who is this boy you're talking about?" Isabelle asks me.

"Umm... I actually don't know, he never said his name. But he has golden blonde hair with eyes to match, does that help?"

"Yes, actually it does. His name is Jace Wayland, my adoptive brother."

"I am so sorry."

"Don't apologize, he's actually pretty cool when you get to know him, he's just a little arrogant is all." She replies sweetly. Alec and Magnus hadn't talked much, but soon Magnus spoke up.

"Well, to me it seems he might like you a little. I mean, he already has a nickname for you."

"Yeah and that nickname is Carrot. It's offensive." I say.

"Oh, give him a break." Alec starts, "he always makes fun of the new kids." Alec was pretty nice, he had shaggy jet black hair and ice blue eyes. His boyfriend, Magnus, was quite the opposite. He had dark black spiky hair with blue sparkles at the tips and cat like eyes. He was a bit of a darker tone while Alec was pale.

"Why does he make fun of the new kids?" I ask.

"He's a jock, that's what jocks do." Alec says cooly.

"Well my brother is a new kid. No one seems to be making fun of him."

"You're brother is already a jock. They aren't gonna make fun of him, that's for sure." Magnus pipes in. He's peeling an orange at the moment with a very concentrated look. Isabelle just waves them off.

"Don't pay attention to them, they're off in their own little world where jocks are jerks even if they're somewhat family."

"Okay."

"So, Clary. I'm having a slumber party tonight with my friends, Maia and Aline. Wanna come?"

"Sure I'd love to. What time is it?"

"We'll you can be dropped off at 4:30. My address is 301 Cambell Creek Lane."

"Okay, I'll see. I'm sure Jon'll let me go." I smile at her and she just smiles back.

"That's great! Simon, you are welcome to come for some of it, just not the sleepover part." She blushes. She has a crush on him, I noticed.

"Sure I'll think about it." He replies. I look at him and see that he, too, is blushing. I needed to get these two together... ASAP. Let my Matchmaker life at Brooklyn High begin.
