Chapter 7

              I know I didn't say everything I wanted to say. But I am still figuring out most of everything. Now, I know I will not lose her as a friend. I can try to figure out what all these feelings are. See where it all goes. I am going to need a lot of luck.

I then headed back to the school. I am going to have breakfast at the school before it's over. I then met up with Alec, and I smiled at him. We then headed to breakfast. I saw her guy friends. Simon is sitting there as if he feels like he is not wanted.

"Simon, can you join Alec and me if you want to?" I suggested to him.

"Thanks." He said, confused. I know it's out of my character to do it. But if I want to stay good with Clary. I must get on good terms with her friends.

*Clary's POV*

I meet back up with the girls. We headed into the café. I haven't said a word about anything. They haven't asked me anything yet. But I know it's coming. I order my food and everything. I then went over to the table and joined them.

"No one is going to ask. I will ask. What happened with you and Jace?" Izzy asked me.

"We talked. He wanted to make everything better." I told them.

"So, you two are better?" Aline asked me.

"Yeah, I think so. But let me get this out in the air. We are friends. He told me that I was someone special to him. I told him the same thing. But right now, we are just friends. I don't want to mess anything up." I told them.

"But, he told you that you were someone special to him. That has to mean something." Aline said.

"Yeah. So, Izzy is someone special to him. They are family. I am probably like family or something down that line." I told them.

"Clary, I am family. But the way he looks and talks to you. That isn't just family. You are something special. But he just doesn't know what is going on. He is confused." Izzy told me truthfully.

"If he is confused, then that is why I can't tell him the truth; I can only be his friend." I told them the truth.

We ate our breakfast and talked about random stuff. We stopped talking about Jace. They knew I didn't really want to talk about him. I don't know what is going on with Jace and me. But I hope one day we can figure it out.

It has been a while since that day. Jace and I have been getting close again. We have been training during our third block. It is nice. We are becoming close friends. He doesn't tell me anything about his dates or the girl he dated during that time. But I still see them hanging all over him any other time.

"Getting slow on me." I said, dodging one of Jace's punches.

"Ha-ha. Just had a long night." He told me.

I smirked at him. I saw my opening. I then took it. He landed on his sorry ass. I stood there and smiled at him. I just took him down. Only because he wasn't there hundred percent. I put my hand out to help him up. He took it.

"So, what happened last night?" I asked.

"Just hanging out with a few friends." He told me.

I really didn't want to know everything. I still get a little jealous seeing him with other girls. I wish I could tell him the truth, but I know it will probably never happen. He is someone special to me.
