Clary P.O.V
'This is gospel for the fallen ones
Locked away in permanent slumber
Assembling their philosophies
From pieces of broken memories' (A/N please tell some of you like Panic! At The Disco)
I reached over for my phone and answered the call. It was Jace.
'Hello?' I answered groggily. 'Morning Clary. In case your wondering why I'm calling you, it's because I can't text you because I wouldn't text you like your my girlfriend. I'm just being careful, if I call you it comes up in my call history, so it looks like I've been talking to you, but no one knows what we are saying.' He explains 'That's great Jace,' I say sarcastically, 'but why are you calling me at 7o'clock in the morning?' I ask him, I am very annoyed about waking up so early. 'Shower and eat. I'll be over in twenty be ready. That's all I can tell you.' He says. 'Wait Jace, why the hell are you coming to my house? And since when were you the boss of me?' I start to rant, but he has already hung up. Deciding it would probably be safer to do what he says, I reluctantly get up and run in a shower. Once I step out of the shower I at least feel remotely human, not the like the zombie that got out of bed 15 minutes ago. Oh crap! I only have 5 minutes for breakfast. I don't function without breakfast. I chuck on my Panic! At The Disco top and some black jeans and head down stairs for breakfast. I put two pieces of toast in the toaster and get another two ready. I pull out the butter and a plate and wait. Once the toast pops up I put butter on them and start to eat. I'm half way through my second piece when the doorbell rings. I get up to open and the door, and when I do my first thought is to run and hide. Unfortunately Izzy knows me too well and gabs me before I can move. 'Izzy what are you doing here with a make up bag and a lot of clothes?' I ask, the worry clear in my voice. 'Well, Clary as Jace's new 'girlfriend', you need to look the part! come on lets go, we have a lot to do." she says while dragging me up the stairs. Jace walks in the door and throws me a grin. He planned this, agh, I hate him! When we reach the top of the stairs she shoves me into my room and starts throwing clothes all over my bed. She holds up pieces of clothing to me and matches some items up, after about 20 Minutes she manages to pick out one outfit and hands it to me. I change and see that I am wearing jeans with a floral top. Izzy also hands me a blue purse, a light jacket, pink heels and some sunglasses.

'No, no, no, no! No way are you making me go out in public like this!' I yell. At this moment Simon and Jace barge through the door. 'Morning Izzy' Simon says, and then turns his head to me. He laughs a little but quickly covers it up, 'um Clary, you look a little different.' He says to me. Izzy and Simon say a proper good morning while I look over to Jace. His jaw drops but he quickly covers it up. 'Well Izzy did an alright job, you look almost good enough to be my girlfriend.' He says. At this comment Izzy snaps her head around to face Jace, 'alright? What is wrong with you Jace, she looks way hotter than Aline ever did, and at least she is wearing clothes that you can see.' Jace just stares at her with a murderous expression. Then Izzy pushes them out of the room saying that she still needs to do my makeup and hair. She sits me down and pulls out her makeup. 'Izzzzzzy,' I complain 'you are already making me dress up for school more than I have ever dressed up, and now you are making me put on makeup too!' 'Yep' she says, popping the P. I swear this girl will be the death of me. I sigh and let her begin. She puts on heaps of different thing on face - I can only recognise mascara, lipstick and eyeliner. I expect to look like a complete cake face but when I look in the mirror you can hardly tell I have anything on except mascara and eyeliner, but everything looks much nicer. It's like my face has been naturally perfected. 'Wow Izzy' I say. 'I know I'm amazing' she says before getting the straightener out and starting on my hair. By 8am I'm ready and Izzy brings me down stairs. She gets me to wait just out of the boys - who surprisingly haven't yet killed each other - line of sight, and she heads down. 'I present to you, the new and improved Clary' she says with a round of clapping. I just laugh and head down, when they see me both of the boys jaws drop. 'Wow Clary, you look great.' Simon says. Jace is still just staring at me and not saying anything, once he notices that I can see him staring he quickly looks away and says 'good job Izzy, she looks a lot more presentable now. Ok guys lets go, Clary you're with me.' Jace and I get into his car and Izzy and Simon get in Izzy's car. We ride in an awkward silence, and making it even more awkward was the fact that Jace kept looking over at me. When we arrive at school I spot Aline, I tell Jace and he just shrugs. We get out and Jace gives me a kiss for everyone to see and wraps his arm around my waist. Aline walks over to us and says 'so Jace back to your old ways already huh? How long is she going to last? A day? Two? Who's next, Maia, you're sisters other best friend?' She says and walks off. Jace looks kind of stunned, and hurt. That's when I notice that everyone's eyes aren't on us and Aline, they're all on me. The girls glaring at me and the guys just staring at me.
