A/N: OMG! This story has over 200 views! That is so amazing! Thank you to everyone that has read, followed, and rated. This means so much to me. It would be so great if I could get some reviews telling me how I'm doing. Now, I present chapter three of Searching!
P.S.: I'm currently listening to the Shadowhunters Season 1 Soundtrack, so that's my inspiration for this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own TMI. That credit goes to the great CC. Still just a wanabe.
._.Jace's POV._.
When the bell rang, I walked straight out of the office, leaving Clary behind. She was about to respond when it rang, I wonder what she was going to say. Why do you even care Jace, she's just another girl, I thought. I knew I was lying to myself, even though I had just me Clary, I knew she was not like other girls. There is something different about her and I'm determined to find out what it is.
._.Clary's POV._.
I watched as Jace walked out the door, then gathered myself and followed behind him. He seemed to be lost in thought, but somehow he knew exactly where he was going. I followed him to our science class and slipped in behind him before the door closed. Just as I sat down in the first empty seat I saw, the bell rang. I turned to see who I would be sitting next to for the first semester. I turned my head to the right and saw Isabelle sitting in the desk next to mine. "Hey Clary", she said.
"Hey, where'd you go, when we were in the office, you kinda just disappeared", I asked her.
"Oh, you know, I didn't want to be late, so I just left a little early", she responded.
"Oh, okay", I said, "I thought you were mad at me or something."
"No way", she said, not looking into my eyes. I was about to say something else to her, but the person to my left cleared their throat loudly, getting my attention. I turned to see the one and only, Jace Lightwood, sitting in the desk. Oh god, I thought in irritation, but a little part of me was excited. Stop Clary, he's off limits, Isabelle's brother, remember? Yeah, yeah okay, got it.
"I believe you were going to say something before we were oh so rudely interrupted by the bell", he said to me smirking. My face reddened at the thought of that moment, I was about to say something, he was right, but why should I tell him now?
"What makes you think that?" I questioned him.
"Oh, nothing, just the fact that you started to say something", Jace said. Shit, I thought.
"Umm… well I was just gonna ask you what in the world I would want more of", I said hesitantly.
"Whatever you say, Fray", he responded, smirking, not believing my excuse. I looked away and to the desk at the front of the classroom. The teacher, Mr. Boden, was sitting there reading a book about Greek Mythology. He looked up from his book and cleared his throat to get the classes' attention. Everyone stopped talking and he stood up.
"Good morning guys, welcome to the New York Institute of Arts", he said in a monotone voice. A scatter of hi's and hello's came from the class.
"So, lets get started, I'm in charge of making sure you all pass 12th grade science, but I can't do that without setting a few ground rules", he said, while picking up a dry erase marker and starting to write the rules on the whiteboard. I eventually got lost in thought and ended up just staring at Jace for the rest of the period, without even realizing it. All of my other classes went the same way, and to be honest, I was getting really bored and tired. That is, until a boy with almost white hair pushed me into the lockers and kissed me.
._. Izzy's POV._.
I turned the corner from my last period and saw some random boy push Clary into the lockers and start kissing her. OMG, I thought. I had been thinking that I could get Jace and Clary together, but if Clary had already found someone than… no. Clary was pushing him off her and trying to escape his arms. I started to walk towards her to help, but she had already gotten out. The boy leaned towards her and whispered something that I didn't quite catch. Clary looked like she wasn't going to deal with this guy anymore, and turned around and slapped him, than walked off in the direction of the main doors. I quickly followed her, and caught up her on the steps. "What the hell was that?" I asked her.
"I don't know", she responded, turning to look at me," I was just walking towards the doors, then he came out of no where and started kissing me." She sounded really mad, like pissed mad.
"I'm just happy Jace didn't see", she mumbled.
"Jace, why would you care if Jace saw?" I asked her, then realization dawned and I looked at Clary. Her face was as red as her hair and she was looking everywhere but at me. She has a crush on Jace, I thought.
"You have a crush on Jace", I said, echoing my thoughts. I looked at her and saw her give the smallest nod. I squealed in excitement.
"OMG, you guys can get married, then we'll be sister and you will have a baby and I will be an aunt and-" I rambled.
"Izzy, STOP!" Clary said, giggling, "I don't even think he likes me, he can have any girl at this school, why would he choose me?"
"Come on Clary, why would he date some random girl if he could have you?" I asked her.
"I'm nothing special Izzy", she said to me. I immediately rolled my eyes and grabbed her wrist, dragging her towards my car.
"Where are we going?" she questioned.
"My house", I responded and put the gear in reverse. We drove out of the parking lot and I realized that Jace's bike was gone. He must have already gone home, I thought to myself.
Ten minutes later, they pulled into the driveway of her house. They walked into the kitchen and saw Jace, shirtless.
._.Jace's POV._.
Damn, I can't even eat a snack without seeing Clary. Her mouth is hanging open and her face is so red that I think she might pass out. Izzy coughs and Clary closes her mouth. She looks away from me and blushes an even darker shade of red. "Umm…hey Jace, we're just gonna-", is all Clary says before running upstairs, dragging Izzy with her. Okay? Whatever. I finish my apple and wash my hands, hoping to remove all of the sticky juice. I go upstairs to my room and put on a shirt, just in case I run into Clary again, then go to the bathroom. I open the door and find Clary, in her bra and underwear.
._.Clary's POV._.
I guess were equal now. Jace is standing in the doorway of the bathroom, his eyes hungrily roaming my body that is covered by only a bra and panties. I just stand there, frozen in shock, and he walks towards me. He stops when we are just inches apart, so close that his hot breath is making my curls stir. He looks right into my eyes, then leans forward and whispers in my ear. "You may not want more, but I do", is all he says before moving his lips to my face and kissing me.
A/N: And….. Chapter Three Completed! Jace kissed her! Yas! I know it's kinda soon, but it just fit. I have a idea for where I want this story to go, and this is it. I hope you all enjoyed it! Please review and tell me if it was good. I'm always open to suggestions, so don't be afraid to p.m. me with yours. I'll try to update again tomorrow (which is in 20 mintutes), but no promises. Love you all and keep being fabulous.
Till' next time,
