Chapter 3:
Jace POV:
8:20 am- Where is she? Is she not coming to class? The class started 10 minutes ago.
8:25 am- Oh c'mon. Where is she? Wait. Why am I worried about her? Okay. Jace Wayland does not care about Clary.
I looked around the room at all the girls. Debating on who was fuckable. Ahh, Rachel. She's good in bed but isn't as loud as I like. Hmm, Stacy. Too loose. Ah ha, Brittany. Real good. But she fucked the whole football team. Prolly burning.
I continued looking around not paying attention to the teacher. Then, the door opened. And she walked in, looking fresh. She walked to the only seat available, which lucky for her, was next to me. She looked at me and groaned while I smirked. She sat down and I leaned in close to her. She smells sooo good.
"Hey Pepper," I say. I saw her shiver as my breath touched her neck. I involuntarily smiled. She ignored me and continued to look forward.
"Oh Poppy, why won't you talk to me?" I pressed but she still ignored me.
"OKAY class," Luke clapped his hands to gain the class attention. "I just got an email from the principal. You guys will stay in here for the rest of the day. No changing classes. The juniors are taking their AP tests. So to avoid the distractions and noise level. You guys will stay in here," there were a bunch of groans and whining. "I know, I know. I don't wanna be with you guys either. If you are thinking about leaving or skipping, you will not be graduating. So we can put on a movie and just chill for the day."
"Oh my! I think I'm gonna die off of boredom," I exclaim.
"I really hope you do," I heard Clary murmur.
"What was that? Ginger," I asked.
"Nothing blondie," she replied. I laughed at that. I put my arm around the back of her chair and came close to her so my lips were touching her ear.
"So, Takis at 7? My clary," I said. She shivered and pushed me away.
"Fuck off, Jace," she says. I was taken aback. Did she just say that to ME?
"Are you saying…no to me red?" I ask putting my hand on heart and fake gasping. Acting like her words hurt me. She just looked at me and took out a sketchbook from her backpack.
"I've made my mistake once, I'm not making it again," She murmurs.
"Chill, Fire Top. I was just playing. You are not even my type. I like tall, busty, blondes," I tell her. I look at her and see her face fell a little.
"But I do got a thing for redheads. Especially the ones with green eyes."
"Jace just stop," she says and starts drawing. I don't say anything because she looked tired, drained, and confused.
I focus back on the movie but I can't keep my mind off of Clary. This is the longest conversation we ever had. I replay this conversation over in my head and then, something catches my attention.
"Hey Pepper, what did you mean by 'I've already made my mistake once'?" I ask her.
With a sigh, she says, "Forget it," I was about to press when she continued, "Stop talking to me like we are friends. After everything, you've done to me. Just go text your bimbos."
I stare at her and then take my phone out and put my headphones in. She is acting like a bitch. I am just trying to nice and have a conversation but I guess she's not in the mood.
Clary POV:
Who does he think he is? Jace has been the biggest ass to me for no reason. Ever since he came into my life, my life has been miserable. Sebastian, Aline, Kaelie, and Jace has ruined my life, my confidence, my everything.
I looked up at him and he had his headphones in. I took mine out and started listening to 'Boys like you' by Anna Clendening. I sighed and started doodling in my sketchbook. Although my mind was somewhere else. This song describes me so well. It was bringing back old memories. Memories that I try so hard to forget. But they are like my shadow. They follow me everywhere.
I tried so hard to fit in. So hard. Changed my whole wardrobe. Threw away my paint spattered clothes and replaced them with designer, expensive clothes. Money was never a problem. My dad is the owner of The Morgenstern Industries. He and my mom are always on business trips. I spend most of my time alone or with Simon or with my brother, Jonathan Christopher. But it seems like he's never home these days.
Simon: Hey Clare, wanna go to Takis for lunch? I look down at my phone. Takis sounds good but we don't have enough time to go there. Considering lunch is only for 25 minutes today.
Clary: Lunch is only for 25 minutes. Let's just chill in the courtyard? We can go to Takis after school.
Simon: UGHHHH! I am craving some pancakes soooo bad!
I laugh and was about to reply when Jace asked, "what are you laughing at?"
"None of your business," I reply.
His loin eyes squinted at me and said, "What did you say to me? Do you want me to throw you out of this chair?" He furiously shook my chair. "Respect me, you peasant," He spat.
Peasant? Do I look like a fucking peasant? Ugh, he such a pain. I won't be surprised if he has anger issues. As a matter of fact, he prolly does have anger issues.
I gave him one last look of hatred and continued drawing.
Jace POV:
This girl has the audacity to look at me like that. Like I'm some piece of shit that's stuck to her Jimmy Choo that's not coming out. I flare my nostrils at her and continued staring at her. Smirking when I saw her squirming uncomfortably under my glare.
"What?!" She whisper-yelled. Trying not to gather too much attention. I looked at her hair and they were lighting up. I twirled a piece of her hair in my hands. She looked at me like I am crazy and snatched her hair back.
I sit back and put my hands behind my head. And think. Think about a little redhead.
I know she can't say shit to me because she is scared. Scared of what I can do to her. I know I've been her biggest bully but I never wanted to. Trust me. It just happened. When Kaelie told me that Clary stole Sebastian from her. I was pissed. For some reason. She said that Clary is a hoe. And I hate girls that ruin happy relationships. Like my stepmom. She stole my dad from my mom. So that's why I bullied her. To teach her a lesson.
The main reason I bullied her was that I wanted to be popular. The populars already bullied her so I joined in. I mean I am the quarterback. I have a reputation to keep up. It's not like I only bully her. There are others that I bully. I never cared but whenever I saw her getting bullied, it always hurt. Like a pang of guilt.
I remember the first time I bullied her. It was during the second week of sophomore year. I was walking with Sebastian when I saw her at her locker. I snarled at her thinking about what Kaelie had told me about her. I walked up to her and pushed her inside her locker. Surprisingly, she fell in the locker. Damn she is so skinny, I remember thinking. Sebastian laughed. I laughed.
"Damn, Red. You sure are very skinny. Tell me. Are you anorexic?" I asked her.
Sebastian grinned and said, "Nah Jace she is still like a cow. Oh, and how was the rehab? Are you still suicidal? You fat bitch!"
Clary stood up and I could see tears in her eyes. I felt bad instantly.
"Aww, is poor fatty crying?" Sebastian cooed. She ran away.
"were we too harsh?" I ask Seb.
He looks at me like I have two heads. "You sound like a bitch," he says. Ouch. I am not a bitch.
After that incident, we called her 'Fatty' even though she is anything but fat. Whenever we saw her we would just push her in the lockers or trip her. Now- I feel so bad. I felt bad back then too. But I never stopped because of my reputation.
We've done worse things to her though. We've spread nasty rumors about her. Verbally and physically bullied her. Like this one time we tricked her and locked her in a garbage can. With mice. That was Aline's idea. Or this other time, when Kaelie acted like she missed her and invited clary to her house. There we got her drunk and Sebastian tried to make a video of her stripping. We posted that sick video on the internet. She was so embarrassed. People made fun of her 'no curves'. Luckily her nerdy, rat-looking bestfriend, Simon, deleted that video.
Or when Sebastian tried to kiss her and Aline took pictures. It looked like she was forcing him to kiss her. Kaelie was furious. She told the whole school that Clary is a boyfriend-stealing whore. In all this, all I did was watch. And enjoy. I know she is suicidal because of us. Because of me.
When I found out the truth. That everything Kaelie said was a lie. It hurt me so much. That's why I stopped being an ass to her but not completely. When I came, Kaelie ditched Sebastian and went with me. She honestly is a whore. She thinks I don't know that she sleeps around with other dudes behind my back. Well, I sleep around with other girls too. Oh well.
I look at Clary. Her bright hair was making a curtain around her. She was scribbling in her sketchbook. She looked like a wild and scared animal. I looked down and saw her body. She is a petite little thing. Barely there curves. Her fingers are long and skinny. Her toes are pedicured and painted orange. So do her fingernails. She flicks her hair over her shoulder but they fall right back down.
I'll be lying if I say I don't feel anything for her. I do have a little crush on her from the moment I saw her. I mean she is just so adorable. But I can't get attached. I just can't. To love is to destroy.
I extend my hand and lightly pushed her silky strands behind her hair. She looks up and I am lost in her green eyes. It's like I'm drowning in them. Her thin lips are moving but I can't make out the words until she kicks me in the shin.
"OW!" I yell. Everyone looks at us and I glare at them and they look away.
"Quiet down, Mr. Wayland," Luck says.
"What was that for?!" I whisper-yell at her.
"Why were you staring at me like that?" she asks.
"Because I am Jace fucking Wayland. I can look at whoever and whatever I want," I tell her and now she was the one staring at me.
I smirk at her and say, "I know I look like a God, Red. Stop staring at me before you give me an evil eye." She quickly looks away and I grin.
"I know you want a piece of me but you probably can't afford me," I continue.
"Gee, please, I don't want a duck looking dude like you," She says and I gasp.
"How dare you compare my Godly looks to those ugly bloodsucking creatures?!"
"Stop being so dramatic," she rolls her eyes and gets up. I realized the bell had rung signaling lunch. I get up still in shock. How dare this peasant say that to me!?
SIMON POV:
"Hey clarebare," I say once I see Clary. "You okay?"
She looks up and sighs. "Yeah I am alright," is her mumbled reply.
"I'm sorry about what happened this morning. Don't worry it's the last week of school and after this, we will never see these god-awful people ever again," I tell her as we walk in the courtyard.
"Yeah, I just can't wait to leave this school. I have so many bad memories here," she says.
"You know on the last day, we should egg Sebastian and Kaelie's car. Huh? You like tha-" I stopped mid sentence because I bumped into someone.
"I'm sorrooorrryyyeee," I yip as I was lifted from the collar of my shirt. I look down to see Sebastian snarling at me. Oh no.
"Simon!" I hear Clary yell. "Let him go!" I felt myself shake and then I was on the floor.
"Ow!" I say. Everything was blurry. Where are my glasses? I blindly started to look for them when I heard yelling.
"Bitch! How dare you touch MY man?!" Aline yells. No wonder at Clary.
"Ahh, I'm gonna kills you! Just leave Sebastian alone, you thirsty bitch," she continues.
"Enough Aline," I hear a soft voice. And then someone hands me my glasses. I put them on and look at who helped us. It was Tessa Gray and Isabelle Lightwood. Her brother, Alec, comes and takes Sebastian away. I hear him say something like 'he ruined my shoes!'
"Th-thank you," I stutter as Isabelle gives me her hand and helps me up. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I touched Isabelle Lightwood. I can't breathe. I have the biggest crush on her. She smiles at me and looks at clary.
Tessa was talking to Clary. "I am sorry about Sebastian. And Aline. Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah, it's okay we are used to it," Clary says with a sad smile. Tessa gives her a look of sympathy. There was an awkward silence that fell over us.
"why don't you guys come sit with us?" Isabelle breaks the silence. "Don't worry, it will just be us. No Seb," she reassures us.
"Uh Okay," I say and we walk to a bench.
Isabelle POV:
Ugh, that stupid fucktard is bullying Clary and her friend again. Tessa and I share a look before we go up to him and stop him. Gosh, when will this dude stop? I am honestly so done with him. I don't even know why my brothers are friends with this douche. All through my high school years, I have seen him bullying these two. For stupid reasons! Tessa and I try so hard to stop this bullying.
I look at Clary and she is so pretty. She is all natural. I love her freckles and her outfit. She looks so innocent and sweet. I can't believe she's been through a lot. Then I look at Simon. He's still on the ground, so I offer him my hand. He looks like he's having a seizure. He is cute. In a nerdy way though. His hair is messy and curly. I have this sudden urge to run my hands through his hair. He pushed his glasses on this nose. Aw. He sure is cute but he needs to work on his dressing sense.
"So lunch?" I ask and we walk over to the bench.
We talk and eat and I got to know these people. I looked at Clary and said, "So Clary, do you have a graduation dress yet?"
"Uh no, I was thinking about going to the mall tomorrow with Si," she says.
"Ha! We all should go together! what do you guys think?" I asked. This will be so exciting! I will get to doll 2 girls!
"Um sure," Clary replies. Yay! We exchange numbers and walk to our classes.
Alright so here is chapter 3. Leave a review and tell me what you guys like and what don't. Chapter 4 will be the time skip. I decided to just skip graduation. Chapter 4 should be up tomorrow around 4 maybe.
