Clizzy, Malec, & Saphael (Don't tear my heart strings)

Chapter four

Simon-
Waiting for clary to get to the ice cream shop took so long I decided to go get a table. I didn't want to be rude and order before she showed up so I awkwardly said "not now" to the waitress multiple times.

Finally a blur of red runs through the door and frantically searches for me. I raise my hand and she runs over, "Hey! What took you so long?" I ask. 

"Oh, yeah! Sorry, I had to go get money from my house which is twenty minutes from here." Clary sat down and we both ordered huge chocolate covered Sunday's.
"So, give me the low down about everything." She says.

"Well, first of all this ice cream shop is the major hang out in town, so if you're trying to avoid someone don't come here."
I start laughing not because it was funny but because it was true. I couldn't count on both hands how many times I've seen Raphael on accident here.

Clary shifted in her chair after I told her that. "Already made enemy's on your first day Fray?"

Clary laughs and shakes her head, then looks at me with serious eyes. "I want you to tell me everything you know about Isabelle Lightwood."
I frown, despite liking her best friend I really didn't know much about her.

"All I know is she is super spoiled and really popular but in a bad kind of hot way. Let's just say don't get on her bad side...she can make your life a living hell or just the opposite. But that's just gossip. The only thing I know is she comes from goo- great genes, I mean Alec is... anyways if you want to know any personal stuff about her you'll have to ask Alec, Raphael, or herself."
I paused a little curious.
"Why do you want to know?" 

Clary immediately started to blush. "We have this history project together and uhh...we...I'll be spending time with her...and I was just... ya know... curious."

She looked really nervous about the whole Izzy situation.
I wasn't buying the whole "it's just  for the project" bit. 

At all.

I switched the subject quickly, not want to scare her off, and started to talk about the lowdown of everyone, every team, the activities we have and the school. Clary tried to look interested but I knew she was bored to death. 

"So," she said interrupting me, "what's the thing with Raphael you have?" She asked out of the blue. I knew I had blushed when she raised her eyebrows.

"Well, I...uh...we...he doesn't." I gave up and decided to tell her. "We used to be best friends way back when until something happened at one of Jace's parties. I still like him but I know he doesn't like me. And he is still with an upperclassman... I think"
I sighed, I hated thinking about how he was taken.

Clary looked hopeful and asked "Do y'all talk as friends still?" I shifted my eyes around the room and almost choked on my ice cream.

Raphael.

How had he walked in and I not noticed?
Usually I had sense of when he was near, as weird as it sounds.

"Well, I mean since you're my new friend and you're also Izzy's friend we might have to start talking again."
Clary didn't seem to have noticed that Alec, Magnus, Izzy, and Raphael had walked in.
Clary was staring at me looking confused. I motioned with my eyes toward their table. When Clary got the hint she started to blush uncontrollably.

When she kept staring I cleared my throat to get her attention. She looked at me with what seemed to be a game face.

"I'm going to get you and Raphael to become best friends again."
With that she took my hand and led me to my crushes table.
