Chapter 10

              I smiled about that. When we got done eating. We walked around the town for a bit. I did promise Izzy we would go shopping for my date. Because my parents are still here. My mom, Dot, and Magnus are going to be joining us. We are going that in the afternoon. I am already having a great weekend.

It was later that day. I waited for Izzy, my mom, Magnus, and Dot to show up. I was just looking at a stand where we all meet up. The stand had some interesting jewelry. I was looking at this one necklace. It had stars fallen. It was beautiful.

"There you are. Are you ready?" Izzy asked me when they came up to me.

"I don't know. But I know I can't back out now." I told her.

"Now that the spirit." Magnus commented.

We then all headed out to different stores and shops. After we got done shopping for a bit. We decided to take a break. So, we went to a close place to get something to eat and everything. We ordered our things. I just ordered some blueberry peppermint herbal tea. We decided to drink outside because it was such a beautiful day out.

"So, do you know what he is doing?" Dot asked me.

"Truthfully, no. Izzy, do you know anything about my date?" I asked her.

"Sorry, girly. He gave me a small amount of details when I asked him. It could be anything. But I think you are going to love it." She told me.

"It's all right. I just thought he accidentally slipped something." I told her.

"Oh, honey. He won't even spill anything to me. I am Magnus Bane." Magnus said.

"I am not surprised. Why would he tell you?" Dot commented.

We laughed at this. We were having a good time together. We went shopping for a bit longer. I got a nice outfit for tomorrow. I am getting excited and nervous. I can't wait for tomorrow.

*Jace's POV*

I was working out. I was getting excited for tomorrow. I was jamming out to my music. I didn't hear or notice the workout room door open. But instead, I was pulled out of my music by someone pulling my earbuds out of my ear.

"What is the meaning of this?" I asked to see Clary's guy friends standing there.

"Is it true?" Austin asked me.

"What true?" I asked him, confused.

"That you are going out with Clary tomorrow night?" He asked me.

I was confused. How did they find out about this? Only a few know about it. The last thing I knew was that I knew nothing of the event. She was going to tell them after it all happened. Clary didn't want them to try to stop it.

"Yes." I answered them with happiness.

They all looked at me wronged and overprotective. Then Austin said,

"No, you are not. You are going to cancel on her. Tell her you can't do it. Because we will not let her become another notch in your belt. Even if she gets hurt. She will heal over time."

"You are willing to hurt her like that because you don't like me. Here is the truth: you can't get through your stupid heads. I do have true feelings for her. Not like any I have before. If she finds out about this, she will hate you guys." I told them.

"She will get over it. We are doing her good." Austin said.

I just shook my head. I then headed to the door. I just wanted to get away from these fools. Also, to find Clary. She has the right to know. But before I left these ridiculous fools. I had one last thing to say.

"Just to make everything clear between us all. I will not be calling this date off. You guys might want to get used to me being around. I'm going nowhere soon." I told them. I then left the room. They just stood there dumbfounded.

*Clary's POV *

We were all heading back to the school. This was a great time. I wish it could last longer. But when we all go back to New York, it will be more fun. We saw Jace standing there waiting when we got close to the school.

"Look who is waiting." Dot commented.

I couldn't help but smile. These made me smile. But I feel something is wrong. I thought we all were going to meet up for dinner. Luke and my mom wanted to get him better. I told them they didn't have to. It was just one date.

"What is wrong?" I asked him.

"Why do you think something is wrong?" Jace asked me.

"It's all in your eyes." I told him.

He gave me a small smile. Izzy reached and took my bags. I looked over to her. She smiled and nodded to go. I gave her a smile in thanks. I went with Jace.

"I thought you hated shopping." He commented to me.

"I don't truthfully like it. But at points, I deal." I told him.

We walked the grounds for a bit. He was trying to avoid the topic he truthfully wanted to talk about. I looked at him and asked,

"What is wrong?"

*Jace's POV *

It's incredible how she can tell something is wrong. I just don't know what to say to her about her friends. I don't want to hurt her. But she has the right to know. I just didn't know how to tell her. I then said,

"I had a talk with your guy friends. And yeah, it didn't go so well."

"What happened? What did they want to talk about?" She asked me.

"Well... I was working on it when they came in to talk to me. They found out about us going out tomorrow. You were right about how they were going to react. They were not happy about it." I told her.

"Of course, they weren't. Let me guess, they were acting overprotective." She said.

I didn't say anything right away. I really didn't want to be the one to tell her what her guy friends were like. But she has the right to know. I then said,

"I don't want to hurt you, your feelings, or your friendship with them."

"If anyone is going to ruin our friendship, it is them, not you. What happened?" She told me.

I then took a breath and said,

"They told me or tried to tell me to call off our date because they thought you were just going to be notch to my belt. But I promise you that is not true. "

"I know." She told me.

"Now what?" I asked her.

"Well, now I will talk seriously with my guy friends. I will see you at dinner." She told me.

"Okay. Don't be too hard on them." I told her.

"You are so sweet. Or at least you try. "She told me.

*Clary's POV*

I then walked off to find my guy friends. I pulled up my phone and sent a group text to make this easier for me.

Meet me in Simon's & Lewis' room now. We need to talk.

I then headed to Simon's room. They need to stop this. They must see it from my point of view. See, I am happy, and that is all that matters. I just don't know right now. It looks like Simon is the only one trying.
