Deal With the Devil (Sizzy Fic)

Where's Izzy

September 11, 2013 Where for art thou?

"Okay class, so guess what today is?" Dr. Marquez began with his way too perky attitude. The class mumbled a response so dead and unenergetic, it was laughable. Of course, everyone knows what today is. Today's 9/11, also known as the day we were attacked by some terrorists in the sky. I was always freaked out by that story. Of course I don't remember much, I was in first grade. My family was fortunate enough to not be near the twin towers when that happened. Some of us weren't so lucky, though.

"Now take out a piece of paper and write down what you remember about this time or where you were when this tragic event occurred. Anything you want involving this event, please write down. I'll give you ten minutes. Okay, get started." Dr. Marquez smiled, moving back to his seat to do some paper work.

I turn to Eric, who was behind me. "So where's the girlfriend?" Eric asked. I shrugged, I really didn't know. I waited by her locker this morning, but she didn't show up. She didn't show up at lunch either. "She's probably not feeling well. I don't know. Maybe some family troubles?" I frowned. I couldn't help but be worried. Izzy never missed school, or at least not that I know of. I wonder if it had anything to do with what happened with Clary the other night?

"Maybe you should ask?" Eric suggested, his tone didn't sound too interested though.

"I don't wanna bombard her if she's sick." I argue. "Hey where's Clary?"

"Making out with the jock probably?"

I rolled my eyes, cringing a little on the inside. Yes, it still made me feel very uncomfortable when the thought of Jace and Clary getting it on somewhere in school is brought up. She's my best friend. I can't help it.

"What happened with being in love with Clary anyways?" Eric asked all too loudly. I cringed, looking around, hoping no one was listening

"Hey, keep it down!" I hiss at Eric.

"Whatever, but seriously though, what happened?"

I didn't know how to respond to that. I mean Eric's one of my best guy friends, and I tell him everything I can't tell Clary, but I really don't know how to explain my deal with Izzy. I also can't explain the confusing feelings I might be developing towards her. What am I going to tell him? That it was my secret love for Clary that got me going out with the Princess? That I agreed so she doesn't find out? That I didn't want to not go to college? That secretly I agreed in hopes that Isabelle Lightwood could help me get over this sad endeavor that is Clary Fray? Yeah that sounds a bit psychotic. This whole situation is a bit chaotic.

"After I slept with Izzy, I just wanted to see if there was anything more to it..." I smirked.

"You're not using Iz to get over Clary are you?"

I felt my eyes go wide. "Wh-what? No! What are you talking about?"

He was about to scold me -I could feel it - but then Dr. Marquez's timer rang loud, cutting off all conversation.

"Okay, class, now who wants to go first?"

Hey where were you?

Isabelle (3:15)

Simon (3:16)

She didn't reply after that. I didn't expect her to.
