Chapter 3

Everyone started to look around to see who was coming forward. Then, the one person I couldn't believe came forward. The one who came forward was Clary. She is his daughter. I never would have thought it.

*Clary's POV*

I knew that this was going to happen. But I never like the looks and talk behind the last name. People think I follow him. But the truth is I want nothing to do with him. He is a monster. He needs to be taken down.

When the class is over, everyone will know. I will be ready. I just headed back to my room; it had not yet changed. But I was not alone. I was being followed. I thought it was Austin following. I then said,

"I want to be left alone, Austin."

"Luckily, I'm not Austin. "I heard behind me.

I turned to see Jace there. I then said,

"Jace. "

"The one and only. "He said, giving me a cocky grin.

I just shook my head. I just kept on walking to my room. I really didn't want to talk. But looks like Jace wasn't going to give up. I then stopped and looked at him. I know what he wants to ask. It's the same thing that everyone asks. I then ask,

"What?"

"I was wondering if you want to train with me. "He said.

"What? "I asked, confused. That was not what I was expecting.

"Do you want to train with me?" He asked me.

"Sure." I told him.

The day went by fast. It is lunchtime. I went to my room. I just wanted to be alone. Everyone knows my real last name. It hasn't been easy for me. Everyone has been distancing themselves from me. They all think that I'm like him.

"Hey." Izzy said when I entered the room.

"Hey. "I said back.

"Izzy, you coming? "Jace asked her. He then saw me and gave me one of his cocky smiles. "Hey, Clary."

"Yeah." Izzy said, coming from the bathroom.

"Clary, do you want to join us? "Jace asked me.

*Jace's POV*

She was about to answer me when her nerdy-looking friend. But he was not alone. Her other friends were with him. I looked at Austin. I really don't care for him. But if he is friends with Clary. Then I will put up with him and his friends, just for her.

"Clary, you okay?" Austin asked her.

"I'm alright. And Jace, sure." She said.

"Sure, for what?" Austin asked.

"Join them for lunch. "She told them.

"We thought you would join us for lunch." TJ said.

"We can all have lunch together. "Clary suggested.

We all looked at each other. No one moved or said anything. But I will be the bigger person, even with our past. I don't want to lose too. There is something about her I can't shake. So, I will play nice.

"Yeah. Let's go before all the good spots are token. "I said.

We were all walking together. We then met up with Alec. When he saw them, he gave me a weird look. I just ignored it and went to get some things to eat. He followed me. He then asked,

"Are they joining us?"

"Yes. Why do you ask?" I asked him.

"Because I want to know why they are sitting with us. Unless it's for her." Alec said. I didn't need him to explain who she was, really. I already know who he was referring to.
