A Secret Worth Telling (A Clace Fanfic)

Chapter 2

J.P.O.V.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I groaned as I turned over and shut it off. So much for a "good morning". It was my first day of my senior year, and I could not be more excited. I was one of the most popular kids at our school.  With my hot girlfriend Aline, and being one of the star players on the football team, nothing could stop me this year. I got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast where Alec and Isabelle were. Alec was a freshman in college, and Isabelle was in my grade. This sucked because whenever she saw me do anything "bad", she could just go to my adoptive mother Maryse and my adoptive father Robert. Yes, I was adopted. The Lightwoods took me in when I was 10. My parents had been killed right in front of me in a car crash, and I guess they decided to take pity on me. Nonetheless, I was grateful. I didn't think about my dad a lot, well, because, it brought up bad memories. I was Jace Wayland, and I wasn't sad, I was the happy, popular teenager. I sat down at the table where Isabelle was serving breakfast. As tired as I was, sirens went off in my head. Isabelle's cooking was toxic and couldn't be touched with a ten foot pole. I got up quickly, startling Alec and Izzy. "What's wrong Jace?" Izzy asked with a concerned look on her face. "I just remembered that I have to go to school early..for uh football" desperately trying to make up an excuse to get breakfast somewhere else than this kitchen. Alec smirked and Izzy just said"See you later". I hurried out and put the keys in my BMW. I went to Dunkin Donuts, and then drove to school. As soon as I got there Aline greeted me with a kiss, and we walked into school. Aline has been my girlfriend for 3 weeks-almost four now. We compared our schedules and saw that we had our first class together, AP Chem. I walked into the class room and sat down next to Aline. I quickly kissed her, but it turned into something more. My friends were yelling "Go, Go, Go" over and over, and some pulled out video cameras to record the most popular couple making out. We broke apart as the teacher walked in, but Aline whispered "can't wait for later". I smirked, and didn't pay attention until the teacher called my name for our assigned seats. I plopped down next to a girl with bright red hair and emerald eyes, and for a moment I lost my focus. She was so beautiful. I realized I had been staring and stuck out my hand. "Hi, I'm Jace Lightwood, your handsome, amazing, partner for the year" She rolled her eyes, but I was used to this. Girls just couldn't get over how attractive I am. I could tell this year was going to be fun already.
