Clary's POV

After about an hour or so, I managed to make myself look better and, with Isabelle left the bathroom and went to my next lesson, I sighed as I realised what it was, Science.

Luckily, Simon, Maia and Isabelle were in the class and Aline wasn't so I got away from her for now until the next day, if she ever turned up.

Soon as class was over and it was the end of the day, I went to my locker and got my things before going to Sebastian's locker.

When I approached his locker, he wasn't there. Jace was.

"Oh hi, I didn't think you'd be at Sebastian's locker." I said to him,

"Well my locker is next to him, but I wanted to talk to him, I don't think he's going to be happy that we're friends." He explained,

"Well he is my brother, that's his job." I shrugged, just as Sebastian came over to his locker, he looked at me,

"What did I tell you-" he started, though I cut him off,

"I was waiting for you! I didn't come to see Jace, his locker is next to yours and he said he wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"About Jace and I..." As soon as I said it I regretted it, because he took it the wrong way,

"WAIT WHAT?"

"Seb we're just friends, she needs friends who will protect her and be kind to her, we decided we were friends after we had a chat." Jace explained.

"He's right Seb, we're friends, I even made friends with Isabelle who I think Simon has a crush on." I said, "then again, anyone would she's beautiful." Sebastian looked at me,

"And you're not?" He asked.

"Well apparently I am and apparently I'm not, it depends who you ask." I said casually, not looking at Jace,

"Well Aline is a bitch and everything she said isn't true, you are beautiful." Sebastian said.

"You're my brother, like mom you have to say it, it doesn't really count otherwise."

"Still you are no matter what anybody else says, now let's go." He turned to Jace, "we'll talk later, okay?" Jace nodded and waved us good-bye.

As we drove back home, Sebastian decided to start up a conversation. He said,

"You sure you want to be friends with Jace?"

"Yes I'm sure, when we talked he was like a different person, different to what you said, even when we had to be partners in English he seemed different, until Aline decided to snog him in front of me." I explained, he sighed,

"I'm not saying he's a bad guy, you just have to be careful, okay? He knows to keep his distance."

"I know he knows that's why we agreed to be friends, I want to get to know Jace Wayland, the real one not the one with the reputation that everyone knows about, and I know you're trying to protect me like a big brother should, but I'm almost 17 I can make decisions on my own, and I know you'll be there for me if something happens, you protect me from things that I'm oblivious about, because that's what you do as my big brother Sebastian, but you can't go telling me who to be friends with, cause I choose my friends, and no one else, okay?" I asked, he nodded and once we arrived home I got out of the car and went into the house.

I went upstairs, after saying hi to my mom, and decided to text Izzy:

'Hey'

'Hey clary, what's up?'

'Nothing much, just wanted to thank you again for being so nice to me, it means a lot, I'm glad I've made friends, I didn't expect today to be so good but horrible in the same day, I thought it was just either going to be horrible or good.'

'It's okay, any friend of Jace is a friend of mine, apart from Aline, who apparently has been suspended for a week, it's not much but it's something, right? Hang on I'll brb!'

'Yeah, sure, though it doesn't usually stop them from bothering me.' I replied, then all of a sudden, my phone rings as I was texting her, and it seemed to be her calling. Weird I thought she said she was going to be right back. I answered it anyway,

"Hello? Why did you suddenly ring me? I thought you went away from your phone?" I asked,

"What do you mean it doesn't stop them from bothering you?" A voice asked, it certainly wasn't Izzy.

"Izzy?" I asked.

"No it's Jace but tell me what do you mean?"

"It's nothing really, at my old school I was bullied and even though they were expelled or suspended they'd still bother me by coming round to my house, that's all." I admitted,

"WHAT?" He practically shouted, "Why would they do that?"

"Because it's what bullies do, Jace I can't stop them."

"Yes you can-" he got cut off by a scream coming from behind him.

"Jace, what the hell are you doing?!" Someone screamed, my guess it was Izzy since it sounded like her. Then I heard Jace reply, though it was muffled,

"I saw her text she sent you I had to find out what she meant!"

"WELL IF YOU HAD TO YOU COULD'VE USED YOUR PHONE." Izzy screamed. "GIVE ME THE PHONE!" Then I heard her say to me,

"Sorry Clary, I'll talk to you tomorrow and you can tell me what you said since Jace is being an ass and decided to come into my room, read my texts and call you while I was somewhere else." She explained,

"It's fine Izzy, honestly, I'll talk to you tomorrow and we can talk then. Bye."

"Yeah, sorry again, bye." And with that I hung up, just realizing that the boy who's known as a heartbreaker find out about me getting bullied and one of the things behind it, boy was I in trouble.

And what I didn't know at the time, was that I was falling more and more for the boy who was known as a heartbreaker in my new school...

A/N: hope you enjoyed! I'll see you in the next chapter! Bye!

P.s. You'll see more clace as the chapters go on, I'm trying to make clace go slow, so they don't realise they're falling in love and as they do realise it, it'll be in later chapters.
