Clary-

She kissed my cheek! My mind whirled with situations where I could kiss her again.

The next day after school I headed to Izzys address practically skipping. When I got to the condo I hesitated. Maybe she would think I was trying too hard? Was I?

I raised my hand and the door flung open and there was Izzy. I was welcomed into her condo with a big warm hug. I tensed up immediately, I was so close to her in this moment, but soon relaxed. Once the embrace ended I set my book bag down by the edge of the couch and looked around. The condo was huge, it was as big as my house I thought.

The living room had an open lay out and was connected to the kitchen. Almost everything was either white, tan, or gold. Excluding the plants, real and fake.

Izzy showed me around the rest of the condo to her room, which was bright pink, and to Alecs room/guest room which was very messy.

When I asked her where her parents stayed she just looked away and tried to give me a convincing smile.

"I didn't mean to pry, I'm sorry." I said a little embarrassed. She turned to me and sat me down onto the couch. 

"No, your fine! They just don't really care about being here with us in person...don't get me wrong I mean they love us but being famous and all its just hard."

My eyes grew in curiosity. "Your parents are famous?!"

Izzy laughed and shook her head. "No, not like celebrity wise...They are body guards for celebrities. Basically they are very important and can't really travel to see us a lot." 

I nodded my head in an understanding way. "Ohh I got cha...Thats really cool though! Do you ever get to meet the people they guard?" I knew I was pressing the subject but I couldn't contain my questions.

"No, like I said they don't visit and neither do we... all they do is pay for our schooling, clothes, and this condo." She sat back and gazed over my body with her eyes. I shifted my weight to my left side and looked at anything but her.

She stood up with her eyes locked on mine, and started towards me closing the gap in two steps. I laughed nervously and took a step back tripping over my book bag and fell. I tried to hold myself up by reaching out to her but all I did was bring her down with me.

My heart was beating uncontrollably fast, her body was so hot against mine I couldn't breathe. When I reached up to move some of her hair out of her face the front door opened. Alec was turned to Magnus laughing, when he turned around to see us he froze and raised his eyebrows.

Izzy was quicker than I was and was quick to jump off of me and crossed her arms in front of her rapidly rising and falling chest. Had she felt the sparks too or was I imagining things?

"Whats going on here Iz?" asked Alec clearly interested. While I got up Izzy told her brother and his boyfriend what had happened and said it was no big deal. Ales slumped over as if he were disappointed that there wasn't more to tell.

"Well," Magnus said clearly not paying attention to the current conversation, "Jace is having another party at his house tonight... it starts in another hour or so..."

Alec glanced at Magnus and back at Izzy and I. "Basically if you guys work on your project or decide not to...y'all should come." Alec looked directly at me and smirked. "Don't worry Izzy knows exactly where his house is, right Izzy?" Out of the corner of my eye I saw Izzy shift uncomfortably and blush bright red.

"Why did you say it like that?" I asked Alec skeptically. 

"Izzy can tell you all about Jaces parties and what happened with Ma--" 

Izzy was fuming and cut him off with a loud yell, "THATS ENOUGH ALEC." 

Alec smirked and walked away hand in hand out the door with Magnus from the drama he obviously just started. So he wasn't even going to apologize to Izzy? That seemed kind of harsh, even for a brother it was just plain mean.

When the door shut I turned to Izzy and hugged her not knowing why. Maybe it's because I would have wanted someone to hug me if I were her. When I let go I kept her at arms length, I had to ask.

"Want to tell me what that was all about?" 

Izzy looked down at her feet then back at me. "The girl Alec was talking about, Maia, well we were playing seven minuets in heaven when she came onto me. When I tried to fight her off she got pissed and lashed out on me..when we got out of the closet she ran to Jace and told everyone I tried to get on her. Of course everyone believed her and not me. I mean even Magnus believed her at the time before I had told him my side of the story. So after that I've never went to another one of Jace Herondales parties. And thats also the reason I don't ever talk to anyone because when they find out they usually think I'm a liar and a freak and shun me."

Iz looked like she was about to cry and I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't want to see her sad at all, especially over some stupid drama. 

Thats when it happened. 

I reached up without thinking and tanged my hands in her hair and brought her lips to mine. She gasped against my lips and tensed but quickly settled into the kiss and kiss me back as well.

After what seemed like forever I pulled back to catch my breath and looked deep into her eyes. My breath caught in my throat by me just staring at her but I managed to choke out words.

"You don't deserve to be shunned or to be called a freak." I planted another kiss on her forehead. "And I believe you Iz." Izzy brought me closer and hugged me tight pressing her soft body against mine. 

Her voice was muffled against my neck. "How about that history project, huh?"

I couldn't help but laugh and say okay. I didn't want to ruin the moment by pulling back so I waited until she did. Electricity pulsed through my body when she ran her fingers down my back making my body shiver. She finally pulled herself off me and I felt myself sigh at the absence.

"That damn project!" She said laughing and sitting down on the sofa.

Was she going to act like nothing happened? Should I?
