A/N- there was a review from saying there was no Clace. Trust me, I am a huge Clace fan and I would never ever make Clace not be a thing. So I have decided to make a Clace moment right here in this chapter. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 5

I awake at around9:40in the morning and all three girls are still asleep. Deciding not to wake them, I slither out of my sleeping back slowly and quietly. Once I'm out I step over the sleeping bodies and finally make it to the door and open it carefully. I head to the kitchen and I get a small glass of water then walk out of the kitchen to the balcony outside. I have been out there for a while when I hear footsteps behind me getting closer.

"What are you doing out here alone?" I turn around to see Jace standing there with a white tee and jeans on.

"I'm just enjoying the fresh air. Why are you up so early?" I ask.

"I always wake up early. Surprise." He replies. I smile.

"Well, how about we sit down and talk? I mean, you are a bit arrogant and rude sometimes but.. I think I can get used to it."

"What do you mean by that, Red?"

"That we could be friends?" I ask.

"Sure. Anyways, what are we supposed to talk about...?"

"I don't know. What do you WANT to talk about?"

"Ok. What's your favorite color?"

"Duh, red." I say. "Just kidding, it's blue. What about yours?"

"Mine is red. That's why I love your hair so much. It's beautiful." He replies causing me to blush.

"Well... Thanks." I say. "Well I'm just gonna tell you a bit about me."

"Okay." He responds to me cooly.

Then I start. "Ok, as you know, my name is Clary, and well, that fool Jon is my older brother and Simon is my best friend. We have been best friends practically since birth and he's like a brother to me, which made it weird when we tried dating one time... Why am I telling you THAT? Anyways, I had lived in Missouri since birth then we moved here, my parents are divorced and right now I'm living with Jon and Simon in a huge mansion while my mom is living with Luke Garroway, the Principal of our school. He's a close family friend." I say and take a breath. That was a lot. "What about you? What's your story?"

"Well... There's some things I don't want to say, but, when I was ten my father passed away and my mother left me when I was young, so the Lightwoods took me in. They were friends of my mom and dad. I've been living with them ever since, that's really all you need to know about me, I don't lead an interesting life."

"Well, you're the popular Jace Wayland, I'm pretty sure there's something interesting about you." I say. He shakes his head.

"Not really. I don't like being popular that much, although I do like the attention..." He trails off and I roll my eyes. Then it's just a silence. Jace is just staring into my eyes causing me to blush but I stare back. I get lost in those beautiful golden eyes, eyes that are looking right back into my emerald green eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" I ask.

"'Cause you're beautiful." Is his response and I blush. He then stands up and grabs my hand, helping lift me up from my spot on the chair. He kisses my hand, his lips soft on my bare skin. I blush even deeper than before and he looks at me.

"It was nice talking to you. We better go inside." He then walks back inside leaving me on the balcony, shocked. That's when I realized that I had feelings for Jace Wayland. Feelings I wouldn't be able to let go that easy, and I didn't plan on letting them go.
