Clarissa's POV

After the little dispute with my brother, which caused everyone to laugh, It caused a small smirk to appear across my face. I mean I specifically told him not to mess with Rosalita. But, what does he do? He does the opposite. He can be such a pain in the butt sometimes, I swear.

Apparently the smirk was still on my face as I was mentally talking about how annoying Mouth is, when I hear his voice. Ironic right? I'm thinking of him and he decides to talk.

"Stop it", he remarks as he stares right at me, with his arms crossed and a glare on his face.

"What? What am I doing?", I ask with an innocent look on my face, a small hint of a smile on my face.

"You're thinking of your little abusive act you gave me a couple of minutes ago. Well, I can play that game too... Clarissa", he responded with a smirk knowing I hate when people call me by first name. I just find that it reminds me way too much of the name Marissa or Melissa. Not that their bad names at all. They're not, I just find that Clary works better for me, plus the nickname is cute.

I just grimaced at my first name before returning my smile and just staring at the shorter brunette.

"Oh really? Whatcha gonna do... Clarke?", I question back, wondering what game he's referring to.

His face grimaces, scrunching together from the mention of his first name. That is probably one of the only thing that both Devereux siblings have in common.

"Oh, I'll show you what I'm gonna do", Mouth remarks as he starts to march right over to me, pushing up his shirt sleeves and all.

That just caused me to give him an amused smile, before realizing he was coming right at me. My eyes widened before looking frantically around the room for a place to hide. My eyes landed on Brand who was looking over at the group of boys.

I smiled before running over towards Brand, and wrapping my arms around his torso from behind and spinning him around so he was facing Mouth who was still charging after me. Brand looked down at me in confusion before looking back up to where I was previously standing.

"Umm..Clary? Not that I don't mind you being this close to me and all, because that is definitely not the case... like at all, but what exactly are you doing?", he asked with a confused look as he craned his neck so he could look down at me from my spot behind him, my arms still wrapped around him. His cheeks were a slight crimson color, causing my eyebrows to furrow a bit before shrugging the thought out of my mind and glancing from Brand to my brother.

"Mouth is trying to get me. Please help me. You're like a strong shield", I said looking up at his tall figure while giving him a small grin.

As Mouth almost slammed into Brand, Brand looked away from me and stared at my brother with an irritable look and put his hand on Mouth's forehead, causing him to stop from moving forward to get me. He just kept swinging his arms out trying to reach for me, but he couldn't.
