You Again

Chapter 5

...I was surrounded by clouds. It seemed a lot like heaven, but I wouldn't go to heaven? I was't dead, right? Before me was a golden gate. As I entered the gate, it felt like an angel touched me. "I've been expecting you Clarissa Fray." said a voice. I turned around and right in front of me was a person, his eyes were golden and his smile was heavenly. "Who are you?" I asked. He didn't awnser. "I want to show you something Clarissa." His facial expression still the same."Clary." I corrected him. "Clary, it means bright. And you are as bright as a Morning star." he murmured vaguely. "I am not a Morgenstern if that's what you mean." I snapped. He shook his head. "Of course you are a Morgenstern. Valentine Morgenstern is your father after all." He said calmly. "What are you trying to tell me, I don't understand!" He smiled bright, "Don't worry Clarissa. Our time is up, I will see you soon."

And then I woke up. What was that all about? Was it real, or was it just a dream? I slowly stood up, still thinking about how weird my dream just had been. Maybe I was just hungry and I needed some food to make my brain function normal again. I walked to the kitchen and surprisingly I was not alone. I raised my eyebrow, "Try not to eat him Iz." By the sound of my voice she quickly pulled away. Simon had gotten red. "Ever heard of knocking Clary?" she snapped. I rolled my eyes at her. "If you don't want to be disturbed while your busy you should go to your room." I said. She wishpered something in Simons ear, he nodded and gave her a kiss on her cheeck. "I'll call you." she said.

"Speaking of being in your room, where were you last night? I was looking for you." I shrugged, "I was in the green house." She raised her eyebrows, "Why the greenhouse? No one ever comes there, except..." she was silent for a few seconds. "Except for Jace!" she snapped. "So what? I was with Jace, we didn't do anything." I said. "Sometimes, I really don't get you Clary. One night, you're with Jordan, the other night you're with Jace. They both like you, you're just fucking with them." she said quietly. "First of all, I only fucked with Jace, which was by accident. And I was drunk. Second, I don't do dating. Not anymore, it's annoying. So don't worry I won't break their hearts, I just want to play. Like you do with your nerd." I said sarcasticly. "Simon is not a nerd! He's a bit of a geek, maybe, but that's something different entirely!" she snapped at me, "And he's not my toy. He's my boyfriend." she added quietly. My mouth fell open, "What?! He's your boyfriend?" I couldn't stop laughing anymore. Izzy actually had a boyfriend, this was new to me. "Whatever Clary. It's not a big deal." she said. "No of course, it isn't. It's just not something for me." I smirked.

Then Alec came in, "Since when do you have a boyfriend?" We both turned around. "Doesn't anybody knock anymore when they come in a room?" Izzy snapped. "Woah, calm down Iz. This is a public room for everyone who lives at the Institute." Alec said. She crossed her arms, ''Whatever, I need to get dressed. I have a date." she said and she walked out of the kitchen. When Izzy went to her room I realized how hungry I actually was, so I quickly got myself some cornflakes. "What was that all about?" Alec asked. I shrugged, "Iz is moody because she's dating that mundie dude." Alec's eyes grew wider, "She's dating a mundane?" I nodded. "But hey, who are you to judge? You are dating a warlock." I said. He rolled his eyes, "That's different. He isn't an ignorant shit." I shook my head. Alec stood up, "Whatever. It's not my buisness I suppose." Alec, always polite. I quickly finished my cornflakes.

As I walked up stairs I see the devil himself, Jace is standing up stairs smirking at me. "What are you staring at, Herondale?" I ask. "Nothing that concerns you Fray." I roll my eyes at him. "You're staring at me, so it kind of concerns me." I said as I walked up stairs. He grined, "Your hair." I shrugged, "What about it?" He twirls one string around his finger. "It looks even brighter when it's light. It's pretty." he said. "Was that a compliment?" I teased. "Hey take it or leave it." he smirks. Then I reminded that I was supposed to meet Jordan in one hour. "Sorry Jace, I got to go." His smirk dissapeard, "Why?" I was already upstais. "Meeting someone." I said quickly. Jace rolled his eyes and grabbed my arm, "Who are you meeting?" I let out an annoyed sigh, "Jordan." He let go of my arm, "What have I ever done to you?'' he asked quietly. I shook my head confused, "Nothing. I mean... Nothing bad." He gazed at me for a few moments, "Nevermind Fray. Go meet your dog." I raised my eyebrows. "Well I'm sorry that he isn't as perfect as you, Mr. Goldielocks!" I snapped at him and then I walked away. 

I got dressed quickly. I would be meeting Jordan at his apartment, so I had to take a cab. Before I could even leave the room, Isabelle came in looking mad as hell. "Iz?" I asked. "What?" she snapped at me. "Woah calm down, what's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing! Just leave me alone for once." Well something was definetly wrong, but it's better to leave Isabelle alone when she's upset like this. On my way out, I bumped into Alec. "What's going on up there?" he asked. "Izzy's upset, she won't talk to me," I said. "you should go check on her maybe." he nodded and went up stairs. There was a cab waiting for me outside, I gave the driver the adress of Jordan apartment and then I remembered my dream of last night. What had it meant? Did it mean anything at all? I had no clue, but I tried to relax. I would be seeing Jordan soon and somehow he always managed to make me smile. I liked him, he was a good friend.
