Chapter 20

For the rest of the night my head wasn't in it. I had the situation was in with Clary on my mind. Also, I mainly had Clary on my mind. When I went back to my room for the night I just popped on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I need to talk to her and figure this all out. I can't lose her. Tomorrow is a new day. I will do it then. Nothing will stop me.

I woke up the next morning. I was still in my clothes last night. I don't remember falling asleep. All I remember was thinking about Clary. I need to talk to her. Figure this all out. I know there is something there. But I just don't know what.

"What did you just get back or something? Don't tell me you spent it at her room." Alec asked me when he got up and saw me.

"No. When I got back I just fell onto my bed and went to sleep." I told him.

"So, I take it you had a good date." He said.

"The opposite of that. I can't get Clary out of my head. That was all I could think about all night. I tried everything. But nothing worked." I told him truthfully.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you have feelings for her?" He asked me.

"I don't know. There is something there. I just never felt like this towards a girl. Mostly like someone like her. She is different." I told him.

"Just do what is best for everyone. Because Izzy really took a liking to her. Meaning her and that Simon guy might be joining our group. I don't want any issues if they do." He told me.

"Don't worry Alec. There won't be any issues. Why do you think they would be joining our group? She can still join her guys' group." I asked him. Even though our group would be a better choose. We get the better missions and everything.

"Just a feeling. Just go talk to her. Get this all over with." He told me.

I gave him a smile and got changed quickly and then left. I head towards her room first. I might have caught her before she heads to breakfast.

*Clary's POV*

Izzy, Aline, Helen, and I decided to go out for breakfast today. We are allowed when we don't have school. So, we were heading to that cafe we all like. They have been telling me that the breakfast there is the best.

"So, Clary can I ask something?" Helen asked me.

"Sure. What's up?" I asked her.

"Yesterday when we saw Jace on that date. You seemed upset about it. Do you like him?" She asked me.

So, it was that obvious yesterday. I thought I was hiding my feelings the best I could. But looks like I didn't. I then said,

"Yes. But I am trying to get over these feelings because I know nothing is going to happen." I told them truthfully.

"Why would you say that? He couldn't keep his eyes off you yesterday?" Aline said.

"We don't if he was looking at me or another girl." I told them.

"Girl, you are denying it. He was watching you. You only." Aline said.

"Clary, he was looking at you yesterday. I went to talk to him yesterday when we got back. He thought he was being clever and sneaky about it. But he wasn't. We all know. But Clary, he told he doesn't want to lose you. But he doesn't know how he feels." Izzy told me.

I didn't know what to say. Just before I could say anything. I heard my name being called. We all looked back to see....
