The Bet (under revision)

Walls Around His Heart

CPOV

I followed Jace into the classroom five minutes late, and we were greeted by detention slips. Great, I thought, just another hour I have to spend with Jace. Jace took his seat as the teacher told me to introduce myself to the class.

"Um, my name is Clary Fray. I moved here from California. I came to live with my mom and brother. I like to draw and paint."

"Thank you, Clary, you may take your seat now." The teacher said, pointing to the only available seat. Next to Jace

Jace smirked at me, as I took my seat. I rolled my eyes back at him.

"Can't get enough of me, can you? First you have all my classes. And now you have to sit next to me too. I think this is going beyond stalking. I think this is becoming a sick obsession. But I don't blame you though, like really, look at me I would want to stalk me too." He whispered into my ear. His warm breath blowing across my face making me shiver.

"First of all I can't stand you," I whispered back harshly. "And second haven't you heard of personal space?" I asked scooting father into my seat, putting more space between us.

"I know what it is. I just choose to think it doesn't apply to me. Everybody wants me to get in their 'personal' space." He made air quotes on personal, as he started grinning at me with a devilish smile.

"You know I feel really bad for you." I said with mock concern on my face. "That head of yours can't take your ego getting bigger because one day it's going to blow up. And then there won't be anymore, Goldie," I said with fake sadness.

"Oh you don't worry your pretty little head about my sexy head. I'm Jace Wayland I will never die. God wouldn't want this world to go on without something as sexy as me gone." He said solemnly, sounding dead serious.

I burst out laughing and the class turned to look at me, I heard the teacher telling me to be quite or to leave the classroom. I tried to calm down but I couldn't every time I was almost finished laughing. I would turn around and look at Jace and burst out laughing all over again.

So I just walked out of class and leaned against the wall. I decided to just walk around for a little while. I turned a corner and bumped into someone and felt myself lose my balance. I shut my eyes and I was ready to feel myself fall to the floor but all I felt were strong arms wrapping around me. I opened my eyes and found myself face to face with Sebastian Verlac. His face about an inch or less away from mine.

"Sorry," I whispered, expecting him to let me go. But he didn't he held on to me. He held me tighter and leaned his face closer to mine and our lips met. It was a light brush that passed heat all through my body. He leaned into me more and deepened the kiss. He pulled away from me and smiled down at me looking into my eyes.

"Sebastian I..." I whispered.

I watched Clary walk out the class looking crazy. She was laughing hysterically. It made me laugh too. She had such a beautiful laugh. Her laugh stopped once she closed the door behind her. And I felt kind of alone without her. And I felt kind of bad because she got kicked out of class for laughing at me. So I made my decision I walked after her. Ignoring the teachers protests and walked out the classroom after her.

I guess she couldn't hear me because she didn't turn back when the door closed behind me. I turned toward the direction Clary headed to. And saw something I never wanted to see. Sebastian kissing Clary. My Clary. I couldn't watch, I turned my back to them. I thought Clary and me had a connection. It felt like she was breaking down the walls around my heart, brick by brick. I can't believe she could hurt me this way. To love is to destroy, I always knew that.

I turned back around to face Clary and Sebastian. Leaving Clary and all my problems behind. Building the walls she dared to bring down back up. I turned to them with my signature Jace smirk.

"Ah, lil red you ditching class to make out with your boyfriend? Who would have though you were capable of such naughty things." I said with a wink. But i could feel myself breaking down inside.
