I then headed to Simon's room. They need to stop this. They must see it from my point of view. See, I am happy, and that is all that matters. I just don't know right now. It looks like Simon is the only one trying.

I got to Simon's room. I hope everyone is there. I really am not in the mood to hunt for them. I opened the door to see all my guy friends there.

"I want to say I did nothing I have witnessed to hold my story." Simon said when I entered the room.

"I know you didn't do anything. But I don't think it will be fair if you are absent. Also, I want to hear your opinion." I told him.

"What is then all about?" TJ asked me.

"This is all about how you guys take my love life in your hands." I told them.

"So, he told you?" Austin asked me.

"What is going on? I am so confused." Simon asked.

"Simon, you know that I have a date tomorrow with Jace. Well, our friends thought they would take it into their own hands and tell Jace to call off our date." I told him, but was looking at our friends.

"Are you guys stupid? This is like our old school." Simon said.

"What do you guys have to say?" I asked them.

"Clary, we were only thinking about you. He is a player. We know him. He only wants to add you to his belt." Austin told me. Looks like he is going to speak for them.

"If you were thinking about me. You did it funnily. Because friends are not posting to get the date called off. They support it even if you don't like the person." I told them.

"Clary, you don't know him like we do." Austin said.

"You don't know him how I do. You guys are judging him from the past. He is not holding the past against you guys. I am going to make it; he is going to be in my life. I am going on a date with him to see what happens. You guys can either try or not. Yours choose. But he is going nowhere." I told them. I then left before they said anything.

It was getting close to dinner. So, I want to my room. I kind of want to hide away. Also, to think everything through. Did I make the right choice? I don't know what the guys are going to do. I don't know if I am ready to lose their friendship. But I don't want to lose Jace, Izzy, or Alec.

Simon's POV*

I was at dinner. I was looking around for Clary. I know she probably won't be here. But at the same time, I was hoping she was here. I then saw Izzy. I went to join her and her brothers. I really don't want to sit with the guys.

"Where is Clary?" Izzy asked me.

"I don't know. We had a talk with the guys. She then left after making it clear to them about you her." I said, looking over to Jace.

"I take it it didn't go well." Jace said. Right when he said that. They came in. They looked over us. We just looked away. I know they weren't happy.

Izzy's POV*

Are you kidding me? They are not their friends to her. They would rather her not be happy than happy. Even if her happiness is in my ass of brother. But Clary is probably going to be the best for him. I can't see her like this. I then got up and left. But I didn't leave unemptied-handed.

"Hey, stranger." I said, entering our room. I know she would probably be there.

"Hey. What's up?" She asked me.

"Thought you would be hungry. So, I brought goodies." I told her and showed her the food.

"Thanks. I was a little bit hungry." She told me.

I went and sat on the other side of her bed. She was drawing. She is excellent. I can tell she puts all her feelings into her work. She really has talent; there is a real artist there. I then said,

"Don't worry, we don't have to talk about it. Let's talk about something else."

"Deal. Thanks, Izzy." She said.

"No problem. I am always here for you." I told her.

Clary's POV*

I am happy to have a friend like Izzy. She is always being there for me. Even if I don't want to talk about stuff I don't want to talk about. She is a true friend. We then sat there and ate. Having a good time. We were talking about my artwork.

It's the weekend. Today is my date with Jace. You would think he would want to just have a nice dinner or something. But he has the whole day planned out. This is going to be fun. I am nervous and excited. Tomorrow is the last day parents going to be here. So, Izzy, Dot, Magnus, and my mom were helping me get ready for it.

"You look amazing, girl. He is going to drop dead after seeing you." Izzy told me.

"Thanks, Izzy." I said.

"You excited?" Dot asked me.

"Yeah. I can't wait to see what it has for today. So, none of you know anything about today?" I asked them.

"So, honey, no. He has been keeping it a secret this whole time." My mom told me.

"I know my brother. When his mind is set to something. He goes one hundred percent and beyond." Izzy told me.

Jace's POV*

I went to get Clary from her room. I have this whole day planned out perfectly. Or hope it's a perfect date. I just want to make her feel special. Because she is special. I got to her room. I could hear people talking. I knocked on the door, and the room went quiet.

The door opened, revealing Clary. She looks so beautiful. My breath was taken away by how beautiful she looked. But that's the thing: she always looked that beautiful being herself. I was just staring at her.

"Wow. You look so beautiful." I said to her.

"Thanks. You look handsome." She said to me.

"You ready to go?" I asked her.

"Yes." She said. She said goodbye to Izzy, Magnus, Dot, and her mother. We were off.

We then started to walk down the path towards town. She looked at me curiously. I then took her off to a different path. She was looking around, confused, and looked at me. I just smiled at her. I then led her down this path that I knew she would love.

Clary's POV*

We were going down a path I had never seen before. But it was beautiful. I was hoping to sketch this place. We made one last turn, and I saw a lovely area with trees and a small pond. Right under the most prominent and beautiful tree was a blanket and basket.

"Jace, this is gorgeous." I told him. It was breathtaking. Nothing I would have thought of.

He led me to the blanket, and we sat there. I was taking everything in. So, I won't lose it for later. I want to draw this place. It's like we are in a fairytale. He started to pull stuff out of the basket. There were all these different dishes and food.

"I thought this would be something special for a special girl." He told me.

I looked at him and blushed. I then said,

"This is special. No one has ever done this for me."

"Shocking. But not really. No offense." He told me.

"None taking. I am happy you didn't listen to them." I told him.

"I am, too." He told me.

He started to tell me about the dishes, and we tasted them all. After we got done eating, we lay on the blanket together. Just talking. Getting to know each other. Just the two of us. It was nice.

"I have one more surprise." He told me.

"What, really? I thought that was it. What else do you have?" I asked him.

He reached into the basket and pulled out a sketchbook and pencils. I looked at him, and my smile grew bigger. He knows me too well. He handed it to me. I looked at it and noticed it was one of my books. How did he do that?

"How did you sneak this into the basket without my knowledge?" I asked him.

"I have ways. I know you probably want to sketch this place. Why not now than later." He told me.

I smiled at him and went to work. This must be the best date I ever went on. He was definitely someone I could see being with, even with his big cocky head. It was getting late. So, Jace walked me back to school and my room.

"I really had a great time, Jace." I told him when we got back to my room.

"Me too. So, there will be more times?" He asked me.

I looked at him and smiled. Of course, there are going to be more dates. But I am not going to give him that right away. I then said,

"Good night, Jace."

I slipped into my room, shutting the door on a smiling Jace. I got myself ready for what was going to be coming next. I took a deep breath and turned to face three people, ever waiting for details. Izzy, Magnus, and Dot were standing there looking at me.
