Jon POV

I looked in the mirror and sighed. The last thing I wanted to do was this date and now I was stuck going out with one of the most repulsive girls I'd ever met. Seeing that I had about ten minutes till I had to meet her, I stuffed the money Alec loaned me in my wallet and put my hands on the sinks edge. "Sadie Brooks will not be the death of me. I will live through this." My pep talk was interrupted by the sound of my sister's voice. She sounded happy. I guess the date went well.

"You think Jon has left yet?"

"Do you even know your brother? He won't leave until he has to."

Thank you for the vote of confidence Jace, I really appreciate it. Clary seemed to think it was funny.

"I was being sarcastic you know. Jeez, babe, did you even catch that?"

Jace must have landed his bed because I could hear a slight thump. The fact we had thin bathroom walls was a good and bad thing. Sucking up my pride, I walked out and grabbed my coat. "Here's to the worst date of my life." Clary turned her head for a moment and laughed. She came up beside me and hugged my waist.

"Just try and enjoy the food if all else fails. Thank you for doing this." I knew she meant it.

I walked out, leaving those two troublemakers alone in the room, and entered the elevator. Tonight was all about throwing off the senior's game. I had to remember that. When the elevator opened I saw her walking out of the other in a black dress with a red leather jacket. She had tried to look badass for me? Well that was unexpected. Her eyes met mine and I swear I saw her blush. Clary wouldn't have believed a word of what I was thinking. I met her in the middle and smiled.

"Ready?"

"Yeah. What kind of car do you drive?"

What kind of question was that? "A black Lexus, why?"

"Oh," she blushed for some reason. "I thought it would be a truck or something like that. Jackie said you drove some redneck car."

My car, which was a present from my parents, was redneck? Who did these people think we were? "I didn't know that. Anyway, we should go." I took her hand and began our journey to the main office. She rambled beside me the entire way.

"Besides the fact that Lance is the biggest jerk I've ever met, I think his crush on Clary is really cute. She'll kill him before she ever thinks of him like that though. I've seen y'alls reactions to him. You know, you and her have the same expression when you are upset." Why would I ever want to know he liked her or hear it ever again? The last thing I would allow is Lance hurting her. "So, have you ever been to the place we are going? I went this summer with my folks and it was pretty good." Jesus, she was worse than Maia. We finally made it out of the main office and out the gates when she suddenly shut up.

"What's wrong?" I opened her door. She shyly slid in and buckled herself up.

When I got in the driver's side she answered, "I felt like I talked so much that you never got a word in. Thanks for signing me out by the way." She was nice, I didn't expect that.

"No problem. I did ask you out so I felt obliged to."

Sadie turned on the stereo while I reversed and accidently pressed the CD play button on the dash. Clary's favorite nightcore mixes blasted through my speakers and she surprisingly loved it. Maybe I was wrong about Sadie, maybe she was actually a decent person.

"You like nightcore? I figured your sister would but not you." She was smiling. "She has good taste."

I chuckled and turned onto the street that Mimi's café was on. "Well Clary would most definitely be surprised you said that. I think she has you pegged as a Justin Bieber* type of girl." Sadie shuffled in her seat, trying not to laugh. "What?"

"I like Justin Bieber? Hell no. Sarah loves him for some reason. I listen to In This Moment when she puts in a CD just to piss me off. I'm sorry I'm mentioning her so much but, does your sister like them?"

I could have launched into a fifteen minute speech on how she turns almost any hard core band on as loud as she can when she is pissed at our dad, but I kept it short. "Clary uses music to piss off our dad when he's pissed her off. Girl loves them." Sadie pulled out her phone and typed something on it. I didn't pry but I was curious. "Anyway, we are here. Ready for amazing food?"

She smiled, "Only if you don't mind me eating way more than a stupid salad."

"I wouldn't want you feel like you had eat so little in front of me. That's just cruel."

We walked in and for some reason I hoped that this would be a success. Maybe I was really going crazy?

Clary POV

Jace and I cuddled on the bed when we heard a knock on the door. He paused the movie, sighing with his head on top of mine. "I don't want you to get up. You are too warm."

I grinned, pulling the covers off of us. "It's not like we had sex, Jace. I'll be right back. It's probably Simon anyway." Jace tried to pull me back but I managed to slip away. Moving at a jogging pace, I opened the door and found one of the senior girls. "Hey. What's up?"

"Sadie told me to give you this. I'm glad actually. I hate these guys, too much guitar. JB is still my boy and he's actually good." She said the last part more to herself, angrily mumbling it.

"Well, thank you then. Bye I guess…" I tried to sound sincere and grabbed the CD from her hand. She shuffled away and didn't bother looking back as she entered the elevator. Jace came up behind me and shut the door.

"What was that about? You were gone too long." He mushed his nose into my hair, wrapping his arms around my waist. I felt his abs press against my back and remembered he was shirtless.

"Let's go back to bed. I missed your presence."

He smiled while kissing my head. "Good. I really need to talk to you anyway. Izzy will kill me if I don't." Jace scooped me up, laughing as I squealed. "Will you ever be quiet when I do this?"

"Never!" I protested as he laid my body under the covers with his.

"Fine. I am supposed to ask if you have a color preference for the dance."

Only Izzy would make him ask me this now. The dance was three weeks away though so… "Gold or red, I think that would look good considering our hair colors."

"Okay then. What color is your dress anyway? She refused to say anything else before she left with mom. Girls…"

I coughed, "I am one you know." He wrapped his arms around my waist, snuggling his nose in my hair. I felt his fingers working their way up my arm. "It's black and white actually. Izzy insisted that it made me look older and sexier. Not sure how you'll feel about that though."

"I think I'll choose gold then. I need to look sexy too you know." Jace ran a hand through his hair. "You should see me in gold. I look incredible. Especially when it is paired with black."

"I love you asshole." I wanted to just stay like we were. The world didn't matter, just us. "But now I'm severely tired." Jace stretched out to allow me to have more room.

"I don't want you to go back to your room. In fact, I want you in here the rest of the year. I've gotten used to this." I could feel his fingertips brushing against the bottom of my neck, pulling the stray hair away.

"The last thing I want to think about is that." I knew it would come up eventually. It's not like it would hurt us to go back but I liked staying with the guys. The fact I got to sleep with my boyfriend was just a plus. And minus what Maia thought, all we did was sleep. It was nice.

"Let me distract you then. I don't want you to get stressed out." Jace turned us over to where he was on top. He balanced his weight on his elbows as he grinned down at me. "Where to start?"

"Right here." I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. His lips were softer than usual, or maybe I was just really trying to distract myself. His hands found the back my head and neck, pulling my body closer to his.

"I'll miss you Monday night. I may even abduct you from your room one night." He managed to say between kisses.

"I wouldn't mind at all." His hands rested under my tee-shirt, stroking my stomach.

"I wish I wasn't such good friends with Jon because I really want to do things he would disapprove of." Jace whispered, nuzzling his head in my neck. I agreed with him, even though my brother would kill me if he knew that.

"I think we should do something else before we do something that really pisses him off." I grabbed for the remote and flipped on the TV. "Jace, don't you dare!" He started tickling me as I attempted to turn on Netflix again. "Jace, STOP! I'm going to pee my pants!"

"Well we don't need that to happen do we?" He stopped and sat on his side of the bed. I felt myself being pulled onto his lap as he grabbed for the remote. "What do you want to watch?"

I hummed, taking the remote from him. "I want something with zombies."

His hands covered mine, pressing the top arrow. "Walking dead?"

"Nope. I want more blood and guts."

We clicked through too many shows until he gave up. "We are now at a standstill. There are two options for us: re-watch an episode or start a new anime. Choose wisely."

I never got to answer because the door flew open and a circus entered the room.

Alec POV

I was going to do the following: kill a bloody werewolf or find a way for Clary to do so. It had been a nice night for everyone. Everyone was on a date so I decided to go on a date with Magnus on the roof. I had it all planned perfectly. Izzy had picked up some chocolates from her "my ex's gave me this shit, take it" collection and snuck us a bottle of Merlot in a picnic basket. Jace, while planning for his own date, made us extra cheese sandwiches. And Clary, knowing I would need something special to top it all off, gave us some pillows and a blanket. So, as luck would have it, Magnus hadn't been on the roof yet. We climbed up and started to spread things out, laughing while doing so.

"I didn't expect this Alexander. Why tonight?" He was just lying there, flawless in the moonlight.

"Well, I knew you hadn't been up here and it is the best view of the stars. Besides, we needed to relax after everything that has happened." I sat beside him, gnawing on a sandwich. "Want one? Jace was making these earlier."

"He makes food? Dang, Clary caught a good one. So where did you get this excellent chocolate?"

I looked over at him, laughing. "Does that even matter? I'm thinking about kissing you and that's what is on your mind?"

"Actually," his hand found mine. "I was thinking about something similar but it can wait. We have wine to drink." He unscrewed the top, letting the bottle sit between us. "When did you discover this place?"

I tried to remember but it didn't come to mind. "I think it was the first night after mom became head master. I was in eighth grade so I didn't go here, but the guys still talked to me. At some point one of them recommended I check out a spot with them and we came up here." It did come to me after I started talking, oops. "That was the first time I ever got high."

"That's nice. I didn't know you did drugs at some point." His sarcasm bled through his words.

I hadn't since then and I made sure he knew that. "I haven't done anything like that since then. Don't worry."

"Fine. Let's drink up. I want to enjoy this."

Ten minutes later the wolves descended on us, taking the other sandwich. That was how we ended up storming into our room, startling the love birds in the middle of a somewhat important conversation.

"We need your help. Now," I managed to get out. Clary sat up, anticipating my next statement.

"Who pissed you off and how?" Jace said as he held her down. I could see why he did. The look of revenge had filled Clary's eyes.

"The one guys who annoys us all interrupted our date. He also stole our food. I was hoping that some redhead would help me."

"She is at your service. What do I need to do?" Clary said darkly.

I could imagine her in a chair menacingly petting a large angry cat. "Scare Lance and get back our food. He has Izzy's ex-boyfriend chocolates and they are delicious."

Jace let her go as soon as he heard me. "If he has those then I fully support this death mission. Which room is he in?"

"3-J. Need any help?" Simon said from behind us, holding a baseball bat. "Izzy got your text and wanted me to help. Ready Fray?" Clary marched past us with Jace's old bat and dragged Simon with her.

"We will be back," was all she said. Something bad was about to happen.

Jace POV

What had I done? My short, fiery girlfriend was probably going to knock a jack-ass senior out with my bat. I had unleashed the beast…

Clary POV

Tonight was the night no one tried to mess with anyone I knew. Why? Because I was angry. Besides, Izzy's ex chocolates were always amazing. Mainly because she had a strategy but I would never use that. Simon marched beside me until we were ten feet from the door, stopping from fear more than anything.

"Simon, I will protect you. Come on." He sighed, timidly walking behind me.

I, ignoring his petrified state, knocked on the moron's door and waited till they opened up. From inside I heard laughs and wolf-whistles before someone actually looked through the peep hole.

"Guys! Speak of the devil, she's outside. She also has a baseball bat…"

"I got this." Viper opened the door, closing it behind him as he stepped out. "Hey Clary, what has he done now?"

I sighed, Viper knew me well. "1. Interrupted an important date. 2. Stole very delicious chocolates. Izzy has a stash and it includes the greatest chocolates ever."

"Oh," Viper looked really uncomfortable. "They may not exist anymore. Lance loves chocolate."

"Let the wimp come out then. I want him to see what happens when you still precious cargo." I patted the body of the bat with my hand.

As if on cue, Lance stuck his head out the door. "You called?"

"Where. Are. The. Chocolates?" I paused between each word, glaring. Surprisingly, he disappeared from the door way and returned with the box.

"These? If you want them then you have to make a deal with me." He grinned like a psychopath, oh hell no.

"What kind of deal?" Viper cringed when I asked, Simon just sighed.

Lance opened the door wider, showing off the fact he had abs. Gross. "Well the guys and I were invited to a big frat party and we are required to bring a freshman girl along. Want to come?"

Seriously? Jace would trap me under him as long as humanly possible if he heard any of this. Knowing him he was probably listening at the door. "You didn't invite Maia along? Or Aline?"

"Nah. Viper would kill me and she is a snob. I don't like snobs." Oh really? He waved the chocolates in my face. I could get them if I played this right.

"Give me the chocolates and I'll think about it. Okay?" I hoped this would work. It needed to.

"Seriously? Deal." Works every time. He handed over the chocolates happily. Viper gave me the best 'I can't believe he fell for that' look he could manage before walking back in his room. While walking back I felt great. I had defeated the demons! Or not... When I opened the door to our room Jace took the chocolates from me and dragged me to the bed. Pinning me under him, he glared.

"Have fun?" He heard it, shit.

"I'm not going to think about it. Relax babe." I tried to lean up and kiss him but he stopped me.

"Promise?"

Thickheaded little… "I promise, now please get off me."

And he did, I really loved this boy.

*I personally don't like the guy. Too much trouble for one person, needs to go back to Canada... Anyway, no offense to anyone!

We have no school so I am up at 4 am uploading this... Hope you guys enjoy this.

R&R!
