DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING
CLARY POV
I smile as I look up at the ceiling. He called me beautiful...he thinks I'm beautiful! No one thinks I'm beautiful. I sigh as I turn my body around. I grab my laptop and put on 'Last Friday Night" music video. So it's an old song, but who cares! I hum to the music as I watch Katy Perry get rejected by a guy with abs. Rebecca Black then cuts out her headgear and makes her over. Wait...how can he think I'm beautiful? I close my laptop and go to my mirror. I look at myself in pity. I take off my headgear and look at myself. I let my hair down and put on contacts as I take off my glasses. Then I look at myself. I might be pretty, but definitely not beautiful. I sigh and put on my headgear and glasses. I look so much uglier. I smile sadly and go to bed. Tomorrow, I'm going to ask him how the hell he thinks I'm beautiful.

JACE POV
"You did WHAT?!" My grandmother asks angrily. She was frowning furiously. She gripped my chin and forced me closer to her. "Jonathan! You know better than this! You never play with a girls feelings! Ever! It is cruel and unnecessary! Tell me Jonathan, do you really think that girl is beautiful?!" She asks.
"No," I say ashamed.
"THEN DON'T TELL HER THAT!" She says.
"But...I just...i didn't think it would...I mean....she's used to being called ugly, so it won't be so bad right?" I ask.
"Oh Jace...no! You still don't do that!" She says. "Go to bed" she says. I watch her leave and turn off the lights, that night, I go to sleep filled with guilt.

CLARY POV
Jace and I have been getting closer and closer. He never truly answered my question about me being beautiful. But I just eat it slide. I throw a rock into the lake. I hit the duck. "QUACK!" It honks at me and glares. Jace then bombards it with pebbles. "QUACK QUACK QUACKKKKK!" The duck honks. It then starts to fly out of the water. "QUACK! QUACK!" The duck says as if saying this isn't over Herondale! The ducks shall rise! Jace hates ducks, loathes them with all his heart. We both laugh. I put My head on his shoulder. He freezes, but then relaxes.
"The ducks shall never rise" Jace says. I giggle and look at him. My eyebrows go up.
"Really?" I ask.
"Really" He says. "We shall beat them one pebble at a time!" He says.
"Whatever you say Superman, you wanna watch a movie?" I ask. His face turns into disgust.
"Yeah, I don't do movies.." i roll my eyes.
"Well, I want pop corn, so let's go" I say as I grab his hand.
"Can't we just make pop corn? Also, can you even eat pop corn?" Jace asks signaling to my braces.
"Popcorn and movies are a package deal! Like you and I," i explain. "For example, what would you do if we were in a zombie apocalypse and zombies started to gain on us?" I ask.
"I would say 'PLEASE! EAT CLARY FIRST!'" Jace yells my jaw drops.
"How dare you!" I say as Jace starts to laugh. "You know what I would do?" I ask.
"What?" He asks laughing. I push him into the pond. I start to laugh and laugh. "Nice" Jace says as he spits out pond water. "C'mon help me up" he says. I grab his hand and then he yanks me towards him. I fall face first into the pond. I lift my face up. Jace starts to laugh. I glare at him. Then the duck that we threw rocks at flew down towards Jace and sat on his head. I tried to keep the laugh in. "Why are you laughing?" He asks.
"QUACK" the duck says. Jace goes pale, vampire white pale.
"Is it...is it...o-on m-me?" He asks. I nod laughing. Jace starts to shake his head to get the duck off. The duck grabs some of Jace's hair as a way for the duck not to fling off his head. "GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!" Jace says. Finally he swims down to the deepest part of the lake, and the duck flies away. I was still in the shallow part, laughing so hard I was afraid I would pee in the pond. Jace came up to me soaking wet. "Let's go before more of them get on my head" He says. I get up and start to make fun of his face while he tried to get the ducks off his head.
