Clace in High School

Chapter 9

Clary's POV

So after I got home from seeing Simon, I went straight to bed. In the morning it was time for school. When I heard the alarm I got up to shower did my hair and got dressed. Then Jace and I walked out of the house towards his motorcycle and off to school.

"Jace, I have a question for you" I state.

"Okay shoot" Jace said nonchalantly.

"Did Luke say anything to you when we went and visited him and my mom?" I asked.

"Yeah... Basically the same thing that your mom said to you" Jace said hesitantly.

"Oh you know it's not true what they said right?" I said while looking into his eyes.

"Clary of course I know that!" Jace exclaimed.

"Good because I wouldn't trade my life now for my life before I met you" I said while leaning in for a kiss.

Then if course someone had to come and ruin this perfect little moment of ours!

"Holy shit! Why can't you people just let us have a cute moment!" I yelled.

"Well sorry sweetheart but I just wanted to see my old friend if that's alright with you!" She said with a annoyed tone.

"No it can't be! Oh shit it is Holly Blackthorn what are you doing here!" Jace exclaimed while hugging this girl.

"Uhm excuse me but who are?" I asked quietly.

"Oh sorry Clary, this is Holly. Holly this is my girlfriend Clary" Jace said to me and Holly.

As I looked over at Holly I thought I saw a look of temporary sadness in her eyes but then it quickly disappeared. That's when it hit me why else would some old shadow hunter friend of Jace come and track him down. The only reason I can think of is because she likes or liked him. Then at that moment  I felt Jace's hand slide into mine as if he could read my mind.

"So sorry we can't stay and chat Holly, but we have school. But you can wait for us at the institute if you want" Jace said with an apologetic look in his eyes.

"Oh okay well then I guess I'll head over there then and wait until you guys get back."

"Bye" Jace and I said in unison.

"Oh and Jace I was wondering if you and I could go out for food some time alone to catch up?" Holly yelled as she was walking away.

"We'll see!" Jace yelled back.

Once we got into the school we went right to class. The day went by pretty quickly. As we walked towards the front doors Jace pulled me into an empty classroom.

"Jace what are we doing in here?" I said curiously.

"I just want to say that Holly and I go way back and that she might have been thefirstgirlthatieverkissed!" Jace said saying the last part quickly.

"I guessed that you guys knew each other when you were young. But what was that last part?" I asked hoping that I didn't hear him correctly.

"She and I had our first kisses together" Jace said while putting his hands up like he was surrendering.

"You know I don't care who you were with before me, as long as you don't leave me" I said as I grabbed his neck pulling his lips down to mine.

Once we left the classroom, we hopped on his bike and headed home. To where Holly would be waiting for us. But before we walked into the institute Jace whispered to me;

"I'm not going to go out anywhere with Holly alone if I go you go okay?" Jace whispered.

"Okay" is all I said.

Then we walked into the institute hand in hand. And we were greeted by Holly running up and hugging Jace yet again meaning he let go of my hand. Once she let him go he told her that he and I had to go drop our bags off in our room and would be down in a few minutes. That's all he said before pulling up the stairs with him.
