"Aline Penhallow?"
"Yeah. Se transfered last week. I have to go. I love you :*"
"Okay. See ya. Love you too."

"The least he could do is remember!"
"Listen lil sis, as much as I love talking to you, duty calls"
Jace, I really hope Sebastian's right.

"How in the world are we going to do this?" Aline complained, looking at the blank demon anatomy on the book.

"Ever heard if the internet?" Isabelle asked, pounding her pencil on the desk.

"Not sure if it'll show up though," Alec answered, grabbing his laptop from his bag.

"So Jace, I heard Clary got expelled," Aline said, making the said shadowhunter stop what he was doing.

"Yeah she was," he answered without looking at her. He hated when people brought that up.

"But isn't she, like, the only daughter of the best shadowhunters ever?" The Asian shadownhunter said.

Jace's hand clenched the pen he was holding and he fought the urge to snap at Aline.

"Yeah but that doesn't mean she automatically inherits them like that. Need I remind you that she only found out she was one of us and that we exist only a year ago?" It took all of his willpower to sound calm.

"Yeah I know.. But-"

♪Almost.. Almost is never eno-♪

"Hello?" Jace answered the call without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hey Jace," a lovingly familiar voice greeted him on the other line, making him smile.

"Clary! Why'd you call?" He asked. He loved hearing from her, it's just that he was kind of busy. They had an exan tomorrow ad as much as he loves her, he didn't want to flunk it just to talk to her.

There was a pause before the redhead answered.

"Umm. Nothing. I was just heading to bed and I thought I'd call to..." She trailed off, making Jace wonder if she was okay.

"Clary, are you okay? You'd call to what?" He asked.

"Nothing. I'd call to tell you good night. I love you," Clary answered.

"Oh. Okay. Good night. I love you too," he answered before ending the call.

Jace looked up to see that almost everyone in the room was looking at him.

"What?" The severely confused blonde asked his companions.

"Nothing. We were just expecting you to be sweeter. You know, considering what day it is today," Isabelle said, twirling her pencil in her hand.

"Day? What day? What are you talking about?" He was confused as ever. What on earth were these people talking about? Last time he checked, it was no one's birthday, especially not Clary's.

"See, this is why I don't want to date anyone blonde," Izzy said, sticking out her thumb in Jace's direction as she said "blonde".

"Can someone just spare me the-"

"Idiot. It's your monthsary," Simon said, leaning on the wall.

Idiot. It's your monthsary.
