Chapter 10

Jace's POV

I could not believe this. Aline was back. So far, I'd only had to tutor her once and it was under Maryse's watch. Now she didn't know she was here and Maryse is gonna be gone today. Great. Just great. And I have another date with Clary. It was our third date and I did NOT want Aline to ruin it. I really liked Clary, it was like nothing I'd ever felt before. It was thrilling and beautiful.

"Hey, hottie." I hear the dreaded snob voice of Aline say sweetly. I turn around to see her sauntering towards me, then she presses up so close to me but I can't move away, I'm against a wall.

"Aline, get off of me."

"But I thought you liked this. You used to anyway..."

"I never like it. I never liked you, I was dared to go out with you. I'm with Clary now."

"Well things change... Right, Jacey?"

"Don't call me that." I tell her and she puts her bright pink painted finger nail to my lips.

"Shhh. It doesn't have to be this way. Just kiss me."

"No."

"Damn it, just kiss me!"

"I'm not gonna-" but I was cut off by her lips crushing to mine, catching me off balance. I try to get away, but she's stuck to me like white on rice. I finally get her off me and she stares at me seductivley. I glare at her and when I look back I see Clary standing there, books in hand, mouth agape. I reach out my hand and say, "Clary, wait-" but she starts running down the hall with her head in her hands, her books dropped. I bend over to pick them up and I run after Clary. That's when I see Izzy. She looks pissed.

"What did you do?!" She exclaims.

"It's a long story," I say. "But where did Clary go? I really need to talk to her."

"Ugh. Fine. She's behind this door, go talk to her." Izzy moves out of the way and I see that it's the Janitors Closet that Clary is in. I take a deep breath then open the door.

"Clary?" I ask once I'm inside. I hear small hiccups and someone sniffing their nose from the corner. I turn the light on and see Clary on the floor, her bright red hair falling around her like a halo. I sit down beside her and wrap my arm around her but she pulls away from me.

"Clary."

"Don't." She snaps. "I know what I saw."

"Well what you saw wasn't the truth. Aline came up to me and kissed me, I tried to get her off but I couldn't. When I did, you were standing there and I have never felt more horrible in my life." I say, guilt evident in my tone. I just felt like crying. This girl, this one, stubborn and short tempered fiery red headed girl stole my heart the moment I laid eyes on her and I didn't want to let her go.

"Is there any way you could find it in your heart to forgive me?" I ask.

"Fine. But this is the last chance. I just... I don't know what got into me, I should've believed you. I know you would never kiss that slut." She replies causing me to chuckle. I wrap my arm around her small shoulders and she leans her head on my shoulder and sighs.

"I wish Aline hadn't come back early." She says.

"Me, too." I reply and we stay there, cuddling for almost half the day.

Clary's POV

"We should probably go to class." Jace whispers in my ear.

"But I want to stay here," I say. "With you."

"Okay." I rest my head on his shoulder again and then ask him, "are we still going on our date tonight?"

"Of course. I'm not gonna let Aline get in my way of being with the girl that I'm with."

"Wait. We're dating now?" I ask a bit schooled.

"Yeah. It was kind of official on our last date... It's ok if you're not ready yet, if you think things are going too far too fast."

"No, it's just.. I thought that you didn't really want to date me." He laughs.

"Really, Clary? I'm in LOVE with you. I have been since the day I laid eyes on you, which was about two weeks ago. I'm so glad I met you and I know I might sound crazy, since we just met about two weeks ago, but I feel like I've known you my whole life and I know that I am in love with you." I just sit there, mouth agape, shocked.

"Jace-"

"I know, you think I'm weird for saying all those things."

"No. I don't. I feel the same way about you. Except when I first met you I just didn't know what to think of you." I reply. "I want to be with you. I want to be yours. Your girlfriend." I tell him and he cups my face in his hands. Our faces are so close, our noses and foreheads touching, our lips brushing. I close the gap, pressing my body to his and kissing him lightly, then fiercely. He places his hands on my waist and I put mine around his neck, running my fingers through his hair. I moan against his lips and press closer to him, our bodies fit together like a puzzle piece. We pull away, out of breath. I look in Jace's eyes, they're full of love and passion. I smile.

"Let's get to class."

"Aww, ok." He complains and I ruffle his hair.

"You can have more later." I joke and he smirks, then we walk hand in hand to lunch, which is where we're supposed to be.

•••

"Where have you two been all day?" Izzy asks us as we sit down at our usual lunch table in the corner.

"Nowhere." I blush and Jace smiles at me. Izzy just brushes it off but I can see Maia smiling happily.

"I am SO shipping you two! You'll be... oh my gosh, CLACE." She states.

"Ok, Maia." I say. Jace wraps his arm around me and says, "we are now officially a couple."

"CLACE!" Maia exclaims as she jumps up from her seat. Everyone looks at her and Aline just snarls at Jace and I from across the room. She gets up and sashays over.

"What are you two doing?" She says in a snobbish tone.

"I don't know. We're breathing, sitting at a table, talking. I think it's pretty obvious." I tell her and she just glares at me.

"I meant what are you two doing together?"

"Well one," Jace says. "It's a free country. And two," he points his finger at Aline. "We don't like you. So if you would just go back to where you came from, it'd be great. Oh, and tell the devil I say hey when you get there." She then knocks his and my tray off the table and rubs ketchup on my face.

"That is IT, Aline! I am so freaking done with your crap! I'm tired of you trying to embarrass me, torture me and hurt me for being with Jace! News Flash: he does not like you now get the hell away from us! I never wanna see your face again and when I do it will be too soon. Oh and also there is something else." I pause and cross my arms over my chest.

"Well what is it?" She asks.

"This." I then pick up my ice cream cone–which they only serve on Friday's–and drag it down her face. She gasps and I just smile, holding the ice cream come in my hand still.

"How does THAT feel, Aline? Or do you want me to call you my own special nickname for you? Wanna know what it is?"

"No."

"Well too bad, asshole. I am done with you. You can hate on me as much as you want but you won't stop me from seeing Jace. I don't even care if you make it look like he's cheating, I won't believe it." She doesn't respond, instead she runs off in the opposite direction, towards the bathrooms.

"Woah. I have never heard you swear before." Jace says rubbing his chin.

"Well I'm sorry I'm just so pissed at Aline for what she's been doing to me. Now if you would... Could we like, get this little bit of ketchup off my face?" I ask. Jace comes up to me with a napkin.

"Nothing I can't fix." He smiles and wipes my face with the napkin then it's done.

"That wasn't a lot. It's a surprise she didn't dump my whole tray on me." I say. Just then I feel a tap on my shoulder and I whirl around to see Jon's black eyes staring into me.

"Yes, Jon?" I ask.

"Well I was just worried. What happened?" Jon asks me.

"Nothing. I just got really pissed at Aline, called her a few names, dumped my ice cream on her. The usual." I say.

"Oh ok." Jon nods at me and smirks. "Well, wanna go home? We could sit on the couch and have a 'The Flash' Marathon. We love that show, and you know it."

"Ok, we can do that. Could Jace come?"

"What?" Jon asks. "No quality family time?"

"Ugh, fine." I tell him and say goodbyes to everyone, then hug Jace and give him a light kiss on the cheek.

"See you later." I tell him.

"See you." Then Jon pulls me away from them and we walk to his car with his arm around my shoulders and my head rested on his shoulder. It was actually kinda comfortable to walk that way.

•••

We arrive to the house and I go put some sweatpants on and a loose fitting tank top and then throw my hair up into a messy bun. It was in my face and was bugging me but I didn't feel like doing a lot of work. I never did. I go to my room and grab my 'The Flash' season 1 case and bring it downstairs to the living room where Jon has thrown his shirt on the floor and his shoes as well. I stick in the DVD and we start to watch the first ep.

"My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. When I was young, I saw my mother killed by the impossible. My father was out in jail for her murder. But then, an accident MADE me the impossible. With this power, I go around helping people and saving lives. And soon, I will find my mothers killer and seek justice for my father. I am... The Flash." Once the intro is done the show starts and by the time we're done watching we've watched the complete first season. Simon had been dropped off by Izzy earlier and by now it was midnight. My eyelids were dropping, I could barely keep them open.

"Tired?" Jon asks. I nod.

"Mm hmm." I lean against his chest and he stroked my fiery curls. I doze off, having a dream about Jace.

*Dream*

"I love you." Jace whispers in my ear as he sweeps me off my feet. I'm wearing a white silk dress and it flows when he picks me up. He twirls me and strokes my hair, then lays me down on a bed.

"Good night, Clary." He tells me and I yawn.

"But I don't want to leave you." I say.

"You won't be leaving me. I'm right here." And he lays down beside me and wraps his strong arms around me and kisses me deeply. I sink into him, our bodies molding together as one, then I fall asleep in his arms.

I awake in my bed to my alarm going off. Irritated that I was awoken from my amazing dream, I grumble and pound my fist down onto the alarm to shut it off.

"Uhhhhh." I roll and fall out of bed only to land on Jon. "OH MY GOSH! JON WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I scream. He jumps up and knocks his forehead against mine.

"Ow." He mumbles as he rubs his head and I do the same.

"Why are you in my room, Jon?"

"I don't know. I laid down next to you last night so you could maybe get good dreams but I guess I fell out." He says.

"Oh. Well that's fine." I say and get up. "Wait why is my alarm going off it's Saturday." Jon shrugs. "I don't know." I look at the time, it was 9:30.

"Wait, do we have something going on today?" I ask him. He just mumbles something into the floor then gets up.

"I don't know. Oh CRAP!"

"What?" I ask him.

"Mom said she would come over today with Luke and have lunch and dinner with us. I completely forgot."

"Well I guess we better get ready then." I say and grab clothes and hop in the shower, getting ready to face the day.
