TMI High 4

Clary's pov.

I walk inside with the rose still in my hand. I wonder who its from. Jace? no. He wouldn't do that. I don't think he likes me all that much. I cant think of who it could be from. Its my first day of school and I only know three guys, Simon, Alec, and, Jace. I stop thinking about it when I walk in to an angry looking mother.

"Where have you been?!" she asks.

"I told Luke I would be home late!" I say a little to sharply.

"That doesn't answer my question! where were you?" She pushes.

"I was at my friend Isabelle's house." she crosses her arms and glares at me. "Oh come on mom! You should be happy for me! I made friends!" her eyes soften a little but she keeps her eyes on me.

"Theres some leftover pizza on the table." she says quietly. I start to walk away. " and I am proud of you." shes says. "just...who is the rose from."

How do i explain the rose. I was hiding it behind my back hoping she wouldn't see it. I guess I should tell it how it happened.

"Well, it was on the porch when i walked in. I found this note on it."

"Well.... whats the name on it." she says excitedly.

"Clary." is all I say. She gives me a puzzled look and laughs a little bit.

"No who is it from" she says thinking I just misunderstood. I shrug hand her the note and take a piece of pizza from the box of the table.

"Hmm.... Well how was school anyway." she hand the note back to me.

"It was fine. I made some friends and didn't die completely in gym." My mom laughs and pats me on the back.

"Im going up to my room. I have a lot of homework." I don't have homework I just need time to think.

"Really? okay." she says and looks at me concerned. I steel another piece of pizza, give Luke a hug and head upstairs. I end up falling asleep early.

All week everyone was pressuring me into this party. It doesn't help that my parents are going out of town friday to do some wedding stuff. All the more reason to go. Today is thursday and I'll have to make up my mind today. I really don't want to go. What are parties for? socializing. What am I not good at? socializing.

Im in gym right now. We have to run five laps around the track. I hate gym. Whats the point of running in giant circles. Running in circles won't get you anywhere in life.

I finish my laps and get dressed. When the bell rings and I walk out of the gym, Im bombarded by Aline and Izzy, asking about the party.

"I don't like parties!" I say. "Its not like I'm going to be any more fun than usual"

"Bummer" she says frowning. "you're still coming." I sigh.

"Is that a yes?" Aline says

"I never said that!" I say

"Oh come on Clary live a little!" Isabelle pleads. I roll my eyes and walk away.

This day seems to last forever. I talk to Simon about the party on the way home.

"I don't see why not" he says with a thoughtful look on his face. "I mean your parents won't find out, will they? and if they do, Luke won't care."

"But then theres my mom" I say pointedly

"Well if I were invited, I would go." He ignores the thought about what my mom would say if she found out I even got invited to a party.

"Well... you kinda were invited... sorta."

"By who" He looks at me waiting for his answer. I know he's hoping I say Isabelle.

"Jace." I say. He looks confused

"Jace invited me to a party.?" He says staring at me.

"Somewhat." I say. He looks frustrated.

"Well..." He says in a sharp tone.

"Well he was trying to persuade me to go and he said my boyfriend could go too, so I asked who my boyfriend is, and he said you! I told him you weren't."

"I bet he's happy to hear that." he murmurs under his breath. I wonder what he's talking about for a second and then brush it off.

"Well are you going to go?" I ask.

"Only if you go." He stares at me and tries to give me puppy dog eyes but it doesn't work. "Come on! Don't ruin my fun!"

I roll my eyes " fine-- I'll go."

"You might want to tell Izzy." he says.

"Ha! No way am I telling Izzy. She'll want to give me a makeover. I'll tell her when theres not enough time left for her to dress me up."

"She'll always have time to dress you up." he says in mocking sad tone. I laugh. He has a point.
