TMI High [COMPLETED]

Chapter 2: Meeting Golden Boy

I wake up to Novocaine by Fall Out Boy, aka my alarm clock. I groan softly and turn my head to see the sun starting to rise over Central Park. I push myself out of bed then climb down the ladder to go shower.

I pass my dad's room and hear his alarm clock starting to go off. When I hear it turn off I sprint into the bathroom. Dad and I have a deal, whoever gets into the shower first gets to use up as much hot water as we want. Even better--no rules. I lock the door right as I hear my dad's door open. I hear him groan and say, "You win this round Clarissa."

"Love ya Pops!" I yell before I start the shower. Once I get out I go into the kitchen to see my dad sitting at our kitchen island eating eggs.

I've always been jealous of Jon since he looks so much like our dad. Dad has blond hair so pale it looks white, black eyes, and clear, pale skin. "Hey bug. There are some eggs in the stove for you."

"Thanks Dad." I grab a plate and fork and sit next to him eating my eggs.

"So it's there any hot water left for me?" He asks glancing over.

I smirk a little and mumble, "Maybe just a little." I get up to pour myself a mug of coffee. I take a sip and look at my dad placing an over dramatized hand over his heart.

"And after I made you eggs." I shrug a little as he laughs and walks past to go to the bathroom. "I never did understand why you insist on black coffee!"

"It matches my soul!" I yell back before going back into the loft. I look through my drawers and pull out a navy long sleeved shirt, black shorts that reach mid thigh on me, and I grab a pair of combat boots out of the closet.

After I pull the clothes on I look at my phone to see 5 unseen messages from Sebastian:

Seb: I'm sooooooooooo sorry Clary. I don't know what came over me

Seb: I can't believe what a douche I was please forgive me

Seb: Clary?

Seb: please say something

Seb: This suspense is killing me

I roll my eyes and grab the leather jacket I was wearing last night and shoulder my dark green backpack.

I get another text and see it's from Magnus.

Glitter King: are you bringing my car keys to school today?

Clary: I can. Do you want me to give you a ride so you don't have to drive 2 cars?

Glitter King: works for me. See ya ClareBear ;)

I roll my eyes at the old nickname from when I was like seven. I quickly brush my my hair and put on some light makeup to cover the bags under my eyes.

I quickly say bye to Dad and grab a thermos of black coffee before I drive off to pick up Magnus.

I walk to my locker glancing around hoping Sebastian doesn't come up. Unfortunately, he comes from behind. "Clary!" I hear him say as he comes up behind me.

I cross my arms and turn to look at him. "What do you want Verlac?" I say in a cold voice.

He cups my face and kisses me. I pull away and slap him across the face. "What the Hell Sebastian!? After what happened last night I'm surprised you have the nerve to even talk to me!" I shout.

"Please Clary. I need you to forgive me," he says in a pleading voice.

"No Seb. There's no forgiving you this time. We're over." I turn and start to walk away and hear him shout after me.

"You know what!? Fine! I can get any girl I want!"

"Then do it. Maybe this one will let you into her pants willingly," I yell back speeding up.

I quickly turn a corner--and then land on my ass. I look up at the person I bumped into and stare in shock.

It's the Golden Boy.

"I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. Let me help you," he says holding a hand out. Without a word, I take his hand and let him pull me up.

"Thanks. It's my fault though. I was basically running away from my ex boyfriend as of about three minutes ago." I look up at him since he basically towers over me. "I'm Clary, by the way."

"I'm Jace. My family just moved here."

"Oh, where did you move from?"

"Los Angeles. My adoptive dad got transferred here for work. He works at Luxington and Ford Law Firm now."

"No way. That's the same firm my dad works for," I say as a gorgeous girl with long black hair and black eyes comes up.

"Jace, Alec and I got your schedule too." She looks over and sees me. "Oh. Who's this?"

Jace smirks at the girl and says, "Isabelle, meet the girl I literally ran into, Clary. Clary, meet my sister Isabelle."

"Hey. Call me Izzy," Isabelle states sticking he hand out.

I firmly take it. "No problem. How many siblings do you guys have?" I ask as I put my hands in my pockets.

"We have two more brothers. Alec is 18 and Max is 10. What about you? Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Jace asks somewhat eagerly.

"I-I have one brother, Jonathan," I say holding back tears. "He's 18 too."

"So he's a senior like Alec. Maybe we'll see him around," Izzy says.

"I-I don't think you will. At least n-not anytime soon," I state as my eyes cloud.

Concern covers Jace's face. "Are you okay? What's wrong with your brother?"

"Jon is...Jon is in the hospital. He was born with two holes in his heart. He g-got a heart transplant when he was 7 months old but his body started rejecting it last year. Now he's back in the h-hospital." I wipe away the stray tears and look at the ground so I don't have to see their apologetic faces.

I can tell Jace is about to say something again when the bell rings. "I should get to history. School's been in session for two weeks and I've been late five times."

"I've got history too. Can you show me where to go?" Jace asks looking me right in the eyes.

I gaze into his golden eyes and get lost for a minute. "Sure. Follow me." I start off with Jace follows me close behind. We walk in silence until we get right outside the history classroom when Jace puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, I'm sorry about your brother. No one should have to go through that kind of thing," he says gazing into my eyes.

"Thank you Jace," I say softly gazing back up at him. He hesitates then kisses my forehead right by my hairline. I smile at him and we enter the classroom together. I take my usual seat in the back of the room. Jace takes the seat next to me which Sebastian usually takes. 'Thank you' I mouth as Sebastian walks in and looks back at me and Jace.

'No problem' he mouths back as Sebastian takes a seat in the front.
