City Of Clace

City Of Clace Chapter 23

Art was fun today, well, for Clary at least. She was sitting in between Jace and none other than Percy. He was actually a pretty good drawer. Although the only thing he ever drew were ocean scenes. Clary could tell Jace was jealous just by the way he was sitting. Usually his posture was superb. Now he was sitting slumped back in his chair. To make him feel better Clary decided to draw him as her project. She started with his face. Every single feature on him was perfect. She drew his hair then chest and arms then the table he was leaning on. When she finished she spent at least ten minutes finding the perfect colors. Eventually the drawing was completed, and it looked amazing. Clary tilted the sketchpad so Jace could see it but Percy couldn't. His eyes got big when he saw it.

"Oh my gosh, Clary. That's the best drawing I've ever seen! And who is that handsome devil you drew there?" Jace asked, his usual personality coming back.

Before Clary answered the bell rang and they had to go to math. On the way there Jace had to use the bathroom so Clary and Percy were left alone.

"So. . . "Percy stated awkwardly, "You and Jace are dating?"

"Oh, ya, we are. "

"How long? "

Why was he asking her ask these questions? Did he like her? Was he just trying to make small talk?

"For a while now. Around 2 years, i think. "Clary answered. She was trying to be vague about her answers and maybe Percy would pick up that she didn't really want to talk about her and Jace's relationship right now.

"You guys must really like each other to have been dating that long. "

"Ya. We do. A lot. "

Percy and Clary had reached room 114, math. They walked in at sat in their seats. Not long after, Jace walked in laughing.

"What's so funny? "Clary asked.

"Something Ezra told me. You wouldn't think it's funny though, guy humor. " Jace answered.

Lately, Clary felt as if Ezra were more important than her. Jace was always with him. Yes, they still did stuff together, but before Ezra, Jace and Clary spent almost every second with each other. Did Jace not like her as much anymore?

As if he read her mind, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "i have something special planned for us tonight. I hope your not busy. Remember, i love you. "

"I love you too, Jace. And no, i don't have plans for tonight. I'm all yours. I do have to admit, i thought you and Ezra might have been dating. You spent more time with him than you did with me. "

"Aww, was my little Clary jealous? "Jace mocked, raising his voice and octave and taking like Clary was a baby. She stuck her bottom lip out in a fake pout and crossed her arms across her chest. Jace laughed and kissed her. This time it wasn't a quick peck, it was a full out make out session. The only reason they stopped was Ms. Ford walked in.

"Jace and Clary, if i catch you doing. . . That. . . One more time, i will give you both detentions, and one more detention, Mr. Herondale, you get suspended." Ms. Ford snapped.

"Well, it's someone's time of month. "Jace muttered.

Clary swatted his chest with her hands.

"That is so rude! How would you like it if every time you got mad, someone made a joke about it? "Clary whisper yelled.

"More than one persons time of month, i see. "Jace said, a little quieter. At this, Percy laughed. Clary just glared at them both. Boys. Ugh.

"Oh, you heard that? "Jace asked.

"Ya, i heard it. "Clary said in a mad tone.

For the rest of class she ignored Jace. She was still mad at him when it was time for lunch but she couldn't stand not talking to him so she forgave him and now they're back to how they were before.

"Yo, Jace! Over here! "Ezra shouted. He was sitting next to Kaitlyn and all the other "popular" people at the "popular" table. Jace was one of those popular people now. He was probably more popular than Ezra now, if that's even possible. And since Clary was dating him, and they made it very public, Clary was the most popular girl. Together, they made the most popular couple. Clary didn't mind it but she didn't like it as much as Jace did. He loved being the center of attention. Especially when it came to girls.

"Yo, Ezra! "Jace shouted back as they approached the table. Clary sat down across from Kaitlyn and Jace sat down across from Ezra. Clary realized they had forgotten to get in line for food.

Jace seemed to be able to sense what she was thinking and said, "I'll go get our food. You can stay here, Clary. You want the mini corndogs right?"

"Yes please. "

Jace left to go get their food. Clary was left with Kaitlyn and Ezra.

"So Clary, how long have you and Jace been dating? "Ezra asked. Why did everyone keep asking that?

"Around 2 years. "Clary answered. Kaitlyn raised her eyebrows in surprise, but said nothing. The three sat in silence until Jace returned. It seemed like he was the center of everything, like without him nobody knew what to do. Clary looked over to her left and saw many couples sitting on each other's laps. She thought it would be nice to sit on Jace's lap, feel the warmth of his arms around her. Jace seemed to notice the couples too and he pulled Clary onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist and grabbing her hand. Everyone that walked by stopped and stared at them. The school's cutest couple sitting on each other's laps. The girls have Clary murderous and jealous looks but she ignored them, having years of practice. Today was going to be a good day, she could feel it.
