Raziel High

The Date

Izzy's POV

I wake up with a knock at my door, so I roll out of bed and walk across the room. I swing the door open and find Clary waiting in front of me,
"Honey you don't need to knock to come into your own dorm!" I say,
"I just wanted to make sure you were decent" Clary replies, I nod and smile then step aside to let her in. We both change into clean gear and I help her with a bit of makeup after finishing mine. I reach for the doorknob but she stops me,
"I need to tell you something before we go to breakfast, it's about Jace" Clary says nervously,
"Honey if you have a crush on him I'm not going to be angry!" I laugh,
"No, it's more than that" Clary says looking a the floor,
"What is it? You can tell me anything" I say trying to be kind and caring, while really I'm very intrigued,
"He asked me out, and I might have said yes..." she announces,
"Really? That's so exciting!" I start, sounding truly excited, "you're the first non skank/slut he has been with in a while! In fact I don't remember him ever having a proper girlfriend!",
"Well maybe I have changed him" Clary says hopefully,
"Well you certainly are the best for him, he needed to change" I say genuinely.

Clary's POV

We get to the cafeteria and I spot Jace across the room. I send him a nervous smile and he grins back. The boys have saved us a seat and have grabbed us all pancakes, my favourite. I sit down in my seat across from Jace and he hands me a plate of pancakes. Our hands touch briefly and we meet eyes. Izzy notices our moment and just laughs at us, then Alec joins in so Jace and I have to. Alec says "You really have bagged a good one this time, so don't be going round stuffing this up because I will never let you live it down.",
"Don't worry I don't plan to give here up easily" Jace says smile at me then reaching across the table to hold my hand. I am really happy, I have friends, a boyfriend, and life is good. But there is one thing playing on my mind, Simon.

Jace's POV

It's obvious there is something playing on Clary's mind,
"What's wrong?" I say when we get up to go to class,
"Nothing really, I just miss my best friend, he's a mundane, I was allowed to tell him about the shadow world but I just don't have the time to see him anymore" Clary says, while I help her into her jacket,
"Well if he knows about us why can't he just come and see you here?" I reason, noticing that this best friend is a "he",
"Is that not against some rule?" Clary asks,
"Not really" I reply as we entwine our hands together. We walk to class, receiving a few stares, that's the price you have got to pay for being the hottest new couple, everyone wants to know every last detail, it's exhausting. We walk into weapons class and are greeted by the teacher guiding is across the classroom to a free spot on the floor.

Clary's POV

"Today we will be starting with the basics in partners, as a refresher" he says, "I have already paired you up as you have arrived, and you will stay in these groups for today. Now let's start with some basic blocks and attacks", I was actually not to bad at this because I had only learnt yesterday and it was fresh in my mind. Jace was sure to not go to hard on me so he wasn't hurting me, "Maybe you could start trying a little, I'm not a baby, I can actually do this" I say,
"Okay then lets step it up a notch" he says cheekily grinning at me. Then we do just that, we both stepped it up a notch and were jumping back and forth, attacking and blocking. Soon the class was coming to an end so the teacher declared a knife throwing contest, 1 blade each, 1 throw, whoever is closest wins. I throw my best and hit near the centre, surprising most people in my class, who now know me as the untrained newbie. I don't win, in fact quite a few people get a bullseye, so it is decided there is no winner. Jace comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me on top of my head,
"You did good out there today" he says,
"Thanks, so did you" I say, conscious of the people staring at us,
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me on a date tonight, just you and me, so we can get to know each other properly, you can tell me more about your past" Jace says walking around to stand in front of me, keeping his hands on my waist,
"Sounds wonderful, how should I dress and what time should we meet?" I ask,
"Dress, um, how you want for dinner, and I will pick you up at 7" Jace says, I'm actually pretty excited.
