UGLY (COMPLETE)

Ballroom dancing

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING
CLARY POV
We've been watching a bunch of how to ballroom dance videos. So now we're trying it out. I sigh as I see everyone pair up. Veronica pulled Jace towards her. They start the music and start to dance. Most of them stumble and trip, especially Alec. Jace was amazing though....as usual. I just sat there alone looking at them. Veronica kept glaring at me. Sebastian cut in. Jace stumbled back a little, he walked towards me. He offered me his hand.
"What?" I ask.
"You want to dance?" He asks. I stare at him. Finally I take his hand. He pulls me up and we start dancing. We dance as the music starts to change. Jace pushes me closer to him. And we dance. For once in my life I wasn't stumbling. Jace and I kept dancing we were able to keep up with the pace. Coach Hodge kept looking at us in awe. So did Mrs.Penhallow, Mrs.Gray the English teacher and Mrs.Queen the history teacher. The kids stopped to look at us I saw Veronica approaching us, she roughly cut in shoving me out of the way. I didn't even stumble, I fell on the corner of the stage, and then thanks to gravity I fell off the stage. The kids started to laugh. Mrs.Gray helped me up.
"Mrs.Shannon..." Mrs.Gray says. "Perhaps, Clary would be a better Juliette than Veronica...it's just that...well, it seems like clary is better at ballroom dancing, and it seems that Romeo is more comfortable with her." Mrs.Gray says.
"Yeah....i agree with Mrs.Gray" Jace says cutting away from Veronica. "Can I Please have someone else as Juliette....i Will serious take anyone....even Alec!" Jace says.
"Veronica will be Juliette! And that is final! No matter what a little English teacher has to say about it!" Mrs.Shannon says. I sigh and get up.
"Yeah, i mean, you're comfortable with her because she's like, a lot uglier than you...we just have to practice kissing so you don't get nervous" Veronica says.
"Oh,no I'm not-," Veronica shuts him up by kissing him. The scene in front of me hurt me. I know I shouldn't be hurt, for one Jace Isn't mine....and he didn't want to kiss her. But it still felt like a slap in the face. The bell rings and I quickly grab my backpack and get out of the auditorium. I run out of the school. I went to the park we're the duck pond is. I threw my messenger bag on the ground and fell to the floor. I looked at my reflection in the beautiful clear water. My eyes were red, and my cheeks were stained with tears. I looked so sad and pathetic. I slapped the water away angrily. I hugged my legs. Why can't I just be pretty?! That's all I want...just to be pretty and have Jace notice me, not as some little girl that is his best friend, but as something more. But that's never going to happen. Because he is Romeo, and I'm not Juliette.
