I know I didn't say everything I wanted to say. But I am still figuring out most of everything. Now, I know I will not lose her as a friend. I can try to figure out what all these feelings are. See where it all goes. I am going to need a lot of luck.

I then headed back to the school. I am going to have breakfast at the school before it's over. I then met up with Alec, and I smiled at him. We then headed to breakfast. I saw her guy friends. Simon is sitting there as if he feels like he is not wanted.

"Simon, can you join Alec and me if you want to?" I suggested to him.

"Thanks." He said, confused. I know it's out of my character to do it. But if I want to stay good with Clary. I must get on good terms with her friends.

Clary's POV*

I meet back up with the girls. We headed into the café. I haven't said a word about anything. They haven't asked me anything yet. But I know it's coming. I order my food and everything. I then went over to the table and joined them.

"No one is going to ask. I will ask. What happened with you and Jace?" Izzy asked me.

"We talked. He wanted to make everything better." I told them.

"So, you two are better?" Aline asked me.

"Yeah, I think so. But let me get this out in the air. We are friends. He told me that I was someone special to him. I told him the same thing. But right now, we are just friends. I don't want to mess anything up." I told them.

"But, he told you that you were someone special to him. That has to mean something." Aline said.

"Yeah. So, Izzy is someone special to him. They are family. I am probably like family or something down that line." I told them.

"Clary, I am family. But the way he looks and talks to you. That isn't just family. You are something special. But he just doesn't know what is going on. He is confused." Izzy told me truthfully.

"If he is confused, then that is why I can't tell him the truth; I can only be his friend." I told them the truth.

We ate our breakfast and talked about random stuff. We stopped talking about Jace. They knew I didn't really want to talk about him. I don't know what is going on with Jace and me. But I hope one day we can figure it out.

It has been a while since that day. Jace and I have been getting close again. We have been training during our third block. It is nice. We are becoming close friends. He doesn't tell me anything about his dates or the girl he dated during that time. But I still see them hanging all over him any other time.

"Getting slow on me." I said, dodging one of Jace's punches.

"Ha-ha. Just had a long night." He told me.

I smirked at him. I saw my opening. I then took it. He landed on his sorry ass. I stood there and smiled at him. I just took him down. Only because he wasn't there hundred percent. I put my hand out to help him up. He took it.

"So, what happened last night?" I asked.

"Just hanging out with a few friends." He told me.

I really didn't want to know everything. I still get a little jealous seeing him with other girls. I wish I could tell him the truth, but I know it will probably never happen. He is someone special to me.

"Oh, fun. Looks like you took a good hit last time. It's showing now." I told him truthfully.

"Yeah. It was crazy. I won't lie." He told me.

Jace's POV*

I know Clary really didn't want to know about my night. She was just being nice. I am still figuring out what we are. But I still see that she is someone special to me. I never want to lose her. I am doing everything in my power not to.

"So, what did you do last night?" I asked her.

"Draw. What else is there to do?" She asked me.

I looked at her like really. I then said,

"You could have gone out. Some parties were going on. You could have gone to one. I know Izzy did." I told her.

But I already knew what she was going to say. She isn't the type of girl. You can tell. She is an artist. A big dreamer. That is what makes her different from everyone else. She then looked at me and said,

"Really, Jace. You already know my answer. So, what's the point of even saying it?"

I gave her a smile. She smiled back at me. The block was almost over. So, we decided to walk the hallways until our next class. It was nice being with her. She sees a different side of me. Most girls look at me like this god. I am not complaining. I do like it. But with her, it's different. It's like she is looking at me for me.

It has been a while since that day. Today was a special day for some people. But to others, it is a day we don't look forward to. Parent visiting day. They even are allowing a few downloaders here. I know why. I was wondering if Maryse and Robert will be showing up. Usually, they don't.

I headed to one of the small café shops. When I got to the front I ordered my coffee and another one. The girl that was taking my order was flirting with me. She then gave me her number. I gave her a smile and left.

"Oh, you shouldn't have. "Simon said to me jokingly. He pretends to take one of the cups.

"Really, Lewis. We may be getting along, but we are not that close." I told him.

"Even if it gives you good points with Clary." He said. I just shook my head and walked away.

Clary's POV*

I was just finishing getting ready for school. Today is parent visiting day, which is more like family visiting day. They are even allowing some downworlders to join. Meaning, Luke can come. I hope Magnus and Dot join them. I do miss them.

"Good morning." Heard from my door. I turned to see Jace standing there with coffee in his hands.

"Good morning. Warning: I am not responsible for my mouth or acts without having my morning coffee." I told him.

"Then, luckily, I have this for you." He told me, handing me one of the coffees.

I looked at him and took it. I took a sip from it. It was the way I like my coffee. I smiled at him and said,

"Thanks. But You didn't have to."

"I know I didn't have to. But I wanted to. "He told me with a smile.

"So, you ready to see your family?" I asked him.

"Truthfully, Maryse and Robert don't show up to these things. They are just too busy. It is fine. "He told me.

"Oh. But don't they want to see you guys? "I asked him.

"Yeah. But they are busy running the New York Institution." He told me.

I didn't push the matter from there. We then walked to where we were meeting UT with our families. Jace joined me because he wanted to be my mom. Izzy is going with me also. She wants to meet her too. I really can't wait to see her again.

I walked up to Izzy. She was standing with Simon. Simon looked at me and then at my cup. I looked at him and then to Jace. Then we son people coming. I was looking for my mom and Luke. But I didn't see them. Then, a portal opened and came out: my mother, Luke, Dot, Mia, and Magnus.

I ran over to them and gave them a hug. I looked over to Magnus and said,

"Always have to make an entry."

"Always. I won't be Magnus Bane." He told me.

I then took them over to Izzy, Simon, and Jace. I then introduced them to Izzy and Jace. Even though I bet they knew who Luke, Dot, and Magnus were. But they let me introduce them anyway. They were all talking.

"Mom?" Izzy said, looking at a woman who looks like a high-power businesswoman.

"Hello, Isabella. Jace." The woman said, and by their faces. This must be her mother. That guy behind her was her father.

"Izzy." A little boy yelled, running up to her.

"Max. I missed you so much." She said, hugging him.

"Clary, I want you to meet my little brother Max. Cute but a little clingy." She said to me.

"Nice to meet you, Max." I said.

"Hey, Max." Jace said. He then turned to Jace, questioned him about everything, and told him. I couldn't help but smile about it. He was really good with him.

It was later that day. I was showing my mom the room I shared with Izzy. I was telling her about my schooling and everything. My mom kept looking at me like she had something to say. I then asked,

"What?"

"Nothing." She told me.

"Mom, I know that look on your face. What is it?" I asked her.

"I'm just proud of you. You really grew up to be an amazing person. Also looking like amazing shadowhunter." She told me.

"Thanks." I told her.

"Also, I was wondering about that Jace guy." She told me.

"What about him?" I asked her.

"He seems like a nice guy. Are you two?" She was saying.

"Mom, before you finish that thought. No. We are just friends. That's it." I told her.

We then went to have lunch with everyone. We were going to eat on the grounds. I got my food and went over to everyone. I sat down by Austin. This was really nice. But then I saw Izzy. She came over to us all mad.

"You okay?" I asked her.

"No. This is so ridiculous. No offense." She told me, looking over to my family.

The families are going to be here for a few days. So, this is going to be interesting. I am happy to have my mom around. Also, maybe Magnus can help me with something current. I must go on girls' day with him and my girlfriends.
