I woke up to the scream of bloody murder from Isabelle. As usual we overslept. I turned in bed and saw my clock read 7:40. I guess I better get dressed school starts in 20 minutes. I climbed into the shower with boiling hot water. The heat of the water always seemed to calm me down. I felt the tense muscles on my back loosen immediately after the water washed over it. I turned the water off and got a white towel and put it around my waist. I walked out the bathroom and slammed into someone. Isabelle. Of course who else has the rudeness to barge into someone's room like that?

"What do you want, Izzy? Or did you just want to stare at my gorgeous body while I'm half-naked." I gave her my signature smirk. Which I might add has been known to melt girl's hearts. And a few guy's. But all I got from Isabelle was a scowl.

"In your dreams, Jace. I just came to bring you your clothes for school."

"I don't need your help to choose my clothes anything looks sexy when it's on this body." I said, pointing at my sexy abs. Isabelle rolled her eyes.

"I've seen better packs than that."

I made a face of mock hurt, and put a hand on my heart. "Wow, Isabelle that one went straight to the heart. I'm hurt."

"Get dressed. Now," she growled, and slammed the door as she left.

I looked down at my bed and the outfit she picked wasn't that bad. A white v neck shirt, a black leather jacket and dark jeans with a pair of black Chucks. But it was all part of mine and Isabelle's morning ritual annoy each other till we try to strangle each other. I got dressed and made it down stairs in record time. I found Alec downstairs waiting for him dressed in his usual faded sweater and ripped jeans and his usual bed hair. It gave him an emo look.

"Finally, dude. It's like your turning into Isabelle. You both take forever" He pointed at what I was wearing. "And you're starting to dress like her too."

"Ha ha, Alec. You're so hilarious. You just crack me up."

Alec scowled at me. "You ducking glass mole… "

"Speaking of Isabelle her she comes," I cut Alec off in the middle of his rant. "Oh beauteous Isabelle, thank thee for gracing us with your presence." I got down on my knees in front of her and kissed her hand and started making out with it slobbering my spit all over it. Isabelle snatched her hands away from me and scowled in disgusts looking at her hand. It was all just too hilarious for me I started cracking up rolling on the floor. She kicked me in the ribs. Which would have hurt if I wasn't too occupied laughing my ass off.

Alec muttered something that sounded like let's go, so I got up off the floor and went for my keys. We walked down the porch steps and walked over to the car in our driveway, my Dodge Charger, my baby. I looked at it dreamily. We all got in and headed toward Alicante High.

When we arrived it was like every other day Isabelle heading off to the loser people, she called her friends. And like always girls drooling over me. Of course. I winked at them and they turned away embarrassed that I caught them staring. When I turned to look at Isabelle she was talking to girl I've never seen before. She was short and had bright fiery red hair. And pale creamy skin. On the bridge of her nose she had freckles that looked like they were sprinkled on there weren't too many that usually distract you they just added to the cuteness factor. And when I saw her eyes they were the shade of green moss.

She had the most mesmerizing green eyes. When she turned her head toward my direction she rolled her eyes and turned to a dorky guy with glasses and laughed, and I cringed inwardly. What was that about, I thought. Most girls I look at try to do something hot like wink or something. But I'm guessing this girl isn't like most. She was a challenge, and I liked challenges.

Me and my brother Jonathan had just moved to New York to live with my mom. We had grew up living with my dad in California but we missed mom and I wanted to visit Simon, my best friend. He had moved over to New York a year ago because his mom had to move because of her job. But we never let that stop our friendship, we called each other every night and would talk for hours. He would visit me in California a few times. But we missed each other too much. He was ecstatic when he found out I was moving to New York. I made sure we went to the same school Alicante High.

Simon stopped by my house in the morning so we could walk to school. "You know a friend of mine lives next door to you, Clary," Simon mentioned when we started walking down the driveway.

"Girl or guy?" I asked because I really did want to make new friends.

"Well both," Simon said.

"Well the good news is the girl is nice and is my friend Isabelle, and she has three brothers, Alec who's eighteen and a senior. And Max who's 9."

"And who's the other one?" I asked curious. Simon sounded kind of awkward talking about it.

"Uh, I rather let Isabelle talk about him." He said stuttering.

"Wow, that bad. What has he murdered anybody? Raped a girl and slit her neck afterwards?" I joked, but Simon didn't laugh. "Ok fine Simon don't tell me I'll just ask Isabelle then." He seemed happy enough with my answer so we all just kept walking.

When we got to school Simon introduced us to his friends. Isabelle, who was drop dead gorgeous, with pale skin, charcoal colored eyes, and a slim waist and willowy body. Maia who was curvy in all the right places. Raphael who had a natural honey glow to his skin with a charming smile. Magnus who was hot but glittery and way too shiny for me. And gay.

Me and Jon were introduced to all of them and we all sat at a table. Me and Isabelle started talking. "So…what advice do you think you should give me about the school?" I asked Isabelle, curiously.

"Well first, stay away from the slut club, Kaelie and Aline," she pointed at two girls a blonde with blue eyes and a dark-haired girl who looked slightly Asian. They were both dressed in skin-tight shirts and miniskirts 5 inches too short with slutty heels. "And don't try the meat surprise at lunch," we both laughed. "And stay away from him." She pointed at a guy who was winking at girls. He looked hot. Beyond hot. He was a god. He had the muscular build and perfectly tanned gold skin. Blond hair that formed a halo around his perfect angelic face. And gold eyes that matched his hair. "That's Jace, and he's worst then the hoe train. He uses girls like you and plays with you like a toy. Then he dumps you like a piece of trash. He doesn't care if he hurts girls as long as he gets what he wants. He's been around the block more than once," Isabelle stopped and considered what she said and corrected herself, "Well more than six times. He's left girls needing therapy after getting dumped by him. It's just not possible for him to have the decency to consider any girls feelings"

"How do you know so much about him?" I asked, wondering if he's done something to Isabelle to give her the right to talk about him that way.

"Cause' he's my brother," she said it like it was embarrassing to say.

"You guys don't look-alike at all."

"Well because he's my adoptive brother. He had a bad child hood and I guess it left him scarred or something cause now he can't even have a serious relationship. And believe me Clary I've seen what he's done to girls. There disposable to him. He has lasted longer wearing a pair of underwear then being with a girl. He just doesn't care about anyone just himself."

A guy walked up to us and smiled at me and at Isabelle. He looked like a nice person. "Hey nice to meet you, I'm Sebastian."

Isabelle winked at me and smiled. Sebastian was very cute. Well he was hot. He had black hair that gave midnight a run for its money. His skin was a pale contrast to his skin. He was tall probably 5'10. And had a very good-looking build. He smiled a charming grin that had me swooning.

He took a step closer so he was about a foot away from me. He looked down at me. "So, What's your name?"

"Um, Clary." I said mentally slapping myself for stuttering.

"How do you like the school so far," He said leaning toward me smiling.

"It's good."

"So I guess you've met quiet a few people already." He said eyeing Simon.

"Yeah, I knew Simon from where I used to live we're best friends. And I just met Isabelle and everybody else today."

"So you and Simon are just friends right." He said, sounding hopeful.

"Yeah it's not like that we're more like brother and sister."

"So you wouldn't mind going to a movie with me then?" He said, grinning.

"Yeah, that would be cool."

"Great, then I'll see you later than, at lunch. I'll be waiting," he winked at me and headed the other direction.

Isabelle practically skipped over to me the second Sebastian left. "Oh my god. What happened? Tell me!"

"He just asked me to go to the movies with him. No big deal."

"No big deal. Sebastian is just a freaking gorgeous guy who is practically drooling over you the second you're at school. And it's no big deal. You're crazy, Clary."

Maia walked up to both of them and whispered in their ear, "Jace, has been staring at Clary for like the last five minutes. Maybe he has a brain fart or something." All three of us started laughing and I turned toward Jace and he was staring at me. I didn't want to be the next girl to be part of his little games so I just rolled my eyes at him and turned back to Simon who was trying to tell me a funny joke.

I felt someone's hand touch my shoulder and I turned around to see Stephan Herondale, my best friend besides Alec.

"Ah, I see the little red-head over there gave you the cold shoulder. I can see why your down she is one fine piece of meat. Too bad huh dude. Finally the glorious Jace Lightwood has been turned down what a shame I was starting to think no girl was immune to you. But really a little girl like that turned you down." He said turning away from me, I immediately grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him back towards me.

"First of all I never said I liked her. And second who said she turned me down she hasn't met me. Once she does meet me she'll fall in love with me, JACE LIGHTWOOD. Like really look at me who can resist all of this," I said pointing at myself. "Exactly no one."

"Well you were drooling over her a few minutes ago before she turned you down and yeah who wouldn't love you with your cocky attitude, sarcasm, plus that butt ugly face. What isn't there to love" Stephan replied sarcastically.

I gave him my best drop dead look but he seemed unfazed. "Dude, I would bet you my car that you couldn't get her to date you for more than a month." Ah so he's challenging me, I thought, I never back down he should know this by now.

"Ok deal," I said, almost laughing at his surprised look.

"Wait. What?" he asked his eyes wide.

"You heard me. I'm taking on your bet. I'll give you my car if she doesn't date me for at least a month. And if she does you give me yours. Unless you back out now and admit that I'm just too damn sexy and irresistible."

"I never back down. You're on. I'll give you two months to get with your little friend over there. I have a good feeling about this little red-head though. She's different obviously and maybe she'll put you in your place finally someone will turn you down."

I turned around toward little red-head, and waved at Stephen without looking back. "In can already imagine myself driving your Mustang with the wind in my hair." I said flipping my hair around.

I could hear him laugh as I walked away. This little red-head has only been here a few minutes and I'm already after her. Even though it's just for a bet. Don't get me wrong she is beautiful. Wait what? Beautiful? When have I ever called a girl beautiful? There usually just hot or sexy but beautiful? What is this girl doing to me I don't even know her yet. I had been so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice I was standing right in front of the little red-head herself.

I felt like I was staring down the barrel of a gun. Why is she making me so nervous, I thought, I don't get nervous. Why would I be nervous? What is this girl doing to me? She was staring at me like I was a giant mutant rat or something worse.

Finally I broke the silence. "Hey." I said, making my voice sound deep and husky.

"Can I help you with something," she said, there was enough acid in her voice to kill an elephant.

"Yes, you can. You're the lucky winner, you get to go on a date with the one and the only...Jace Lightwood." I said, pointing at myself flexing my arms.

"Um thanks. But no thanks not interested. But I'm sure plenty of other girls are dying for the chance." She said waving her around to the girls that were staring at us intently and glaring at the red-head in front of me.

"Why not? You don't even know me." I said kind of offended.

"Well for starters I don't want to know you and why would you want to go out with me if you don't know me either. You don't even know my name." she said having a point I didn't know her name.

"And what's your name than little red?" I said giving her a new nickname.

"Don't call me that." She snapped. "And my name is Clarissa, but I prefer to be called Clary."

"Humph cute name. But I'll stick little red. It's suits you your short and little with short hair. It'll be a little secret between you and me," I said winking at her.

The warning bell rang and she turned around to walk away from me. I grabbed her arm and felt a little shock passing through my body. She yanked her arm away from my arm and turned back around toward me.

"What do you want now, Goldie?" she said, irritably.

"Awe you have a cute nickname for me now too. That just proves you like me," I leered at her.

She just rolled her eyes. "My name is Jace by the way. And I wanted to see if we have any classes together so I can walk you to them."

"I can make it to my classes' just fine without your help," she said.

I just snatched her schedule from her hands, and read it. "You're so lucky now you'll have the sexiest guy in the school escort you to all your classes." I smirked and she looked like she rather have the mutant rat take her to class. She snorted. "I've seen better look-

Clary was cut off by an annoying voice I knew too well. "Hey cutie."

It was Sebastian Verlac. This dude is a total ass I hate him and he hates me. He thinks he's better than me like if that's actually even possible for anybody to be better than me. He tries to bash on me by saying I'm a man whore but like anybody believes him because he always ends up with my left overs.

"Uh hey, Sebastian," Clary said, blushing. What the hell why is she blushing. This guy is a total tool. Who the hell does he think he is making my Clary blush. Wait what? My Clary? What is wrong with me?

"What are you doing with this ass?" He asked, pointing a thumb at me.

"This ass happens to be the guy who is showing her around today so back off, douche bag." I said, putting my arm around Clary's shoulders.

"God, I'm a human being, not something either of you own. I think I get an opinion right?" we both ignored her and continued fighting.

"Well this douche happens to be going on a date with Clary," he pulled on her arm and brought her to him putting his arm around Clary's shoulder, "So apparently you need to back off."

I looked at Clary shocked and she just looked away. "What the hell, Clary? Is that true?" I said trying to keep myself from punching that smug look of Sebastian's face.

She stiffened and looked at everything but me. "I don't think that's any of your business."

"Fine," I said taking her arm. "I'm still taking her to class. She has all my classes. So beat it, Verlac." I said shooting him a murderous look daring him to try to stop me.

"It's up to Clary. Clary?' he said smiling at me.

"It's ok Sebastian. I'll just go with Jace. I'll see you at lunch." She said smiling at him, he leaned closer to her and tipped her head toward him, and pecked her on the cheek.

She immediately flushed and looked at the ground. "Bye," he said, looking at me with a devilish grin as he walked down the hallway to his class.

Clary up at me looked at me. "Lead the way."

I turned the direction toward the classroom. We both walked down the hallway in silence. I just felt too angry to talk, if I did talk now I would probably blow up on her. Seriously how could she let him act like she was his, she barely knew him. I just don't get her. I try to ask her on a date and she rejects me but says yes to Sebastian this girls just a mystery.

She broke the silence snapping me out of my thoughts. "So, Jace. Why are you acting so quiet. Before Sebastian came I couldn't even get you to shut up." She said, laughing.

I gave her a barely their smile. "I don't know. I guess I just done have anything to say."

"Wow who would have thought that Jace Lightwood, would ever get stumped and run out of sarcastic remarks." I felt myself grin despite myself."

"Oh I haven't, I was just trying to be a gentle men and keep the perverted thoughts to myself. Unless you wanna hear some," I said grinning wickedly, raising an eyebrow.

"Mmm ok tell me one thought that was in your head before I talked. And say the truth," she laughed. "Just try to keep it PG. I don't want my innocent mind getting tainted by your sinful mind."

"Oh, so I'm hearing little red over here is a virgin." I said laughing, but feeling a weird feeling in my stomach and a weird sense of panic and a lot of guilt. And truth be told I thought it was kind of hot she was a virgin. Once I said it she turned a deep scarlet that was very flattering on her skin it made her face have a soft glow to it.

"Don't try to change the subject, Goldie." She muttered punching my arm playfully.

"Ouch," I said rubbing my arm. "My arm will never be the same. I expect you to nurse me back to health."

"Oh, shut up will you." She rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to want you to wear a nurse's uniform." I said, looking at her body checking her out.

She had a small waist and small hips, a small chest, and a very short frame she was about 5'2 she reached lower than my shoulder. She had curly red hair that looked really soft and when I got close enough I could smell strawberries. Seriously I'm starting to sound like a stalker. I actually know how her hair smells. Really. Why do I care. But it does smell good. I started leaning toward her to smell her head.

"Hello? Jace? What the hell are you doing?" she said looking at me, with worry in her eyes. "God Jace I thought you were going to black out or something. You were staring at me like an idiot and then you started sniffing my head. You looked seriously mental."

"Uh, sorry." I mumbled. Taking a step away from her, I looked at her and she was smirking. "What are you smiling about, little red?"

"The coolest thing happened to me now," she said with a fake excited girly voice. "The 'sexiest guy ever," she said making air quotes on sexiest, "was checking me out like a second ago. And he was sniffing me!" she said with fake excitement.

"So you finally admit I'm sexy, little red. I knew it!" I said doing a victory dance.

"Oh god, I hope you don't dance like that with girls. Because not even your sexiness can make a girl overlook those dance moves," she said grinning as we made it to class.

Oh this is going to be fun, I thought with a devilish grin.
