Songs in This Chapter (Young And Beautiful- Lana Del Ray)

(Everything Has Changed-Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran)

"Bitch, come on, you look fine", after more than 7 years, we still call each other Bitches. It's not rude to my best friend, Isabelle and me. It's an agreement we have. She calls me Bitch. I call her Bitch. So everybody knows that we know we are bitches..but we do not consider ourselves Bitches. We are just a tad bit rude.

"I know, Bitch, you let me dress myself this time", and I did look okay. It wasn't my outfit that made me not want to go down stairs. It was where we would be going when I got down the stairs. To another freaking Jace Herondale concert. Isabelle and I were alike in so many ways but liking the same music is where the similarities stopped. I'm lying. I do like Jace Herondales music. I just didn't like him in general. He was a cocky and arrogant boy who got everything handed to him since he was a little boy. From what I have seen, he's a selfish person.. but I have to say, he was a good artist.

I knew that eventually Isabelle would get Jordan or Alec, her brother, to come up and get me because Simon wasn't that strong and my brother was just too lazy so I finally trudged down the stairs earning some cat-calls from Jordan causing Jonathan, my brother, to glare intensely at him and Jordan's girlfriend, Maia, punching him in the shoulder causing him to stop immediately. Magnus and Alec sat in one corner talking. They liked each other but Alec was just too shy to admit where Magnus was the main reason Alec blush almost everyday.

I wore blue jean shorts with a black crop top shirt that said "bitch is the new black", my favorite shirt, and my black timberlands. My lips are bright red to bring out my fiery hair. I didn't need a purse for tonight. My iphone fit in my backpocket and if I had anything I had to put up I would always have my brother or Simon, my other best friend, to hold it. .(outfit on profile)(all of their outfits are in my profile)

"You have got to be joking, Clarissa. That's what you're wearing? You know looking like that is just calling rapist to come and rape you" and here we go. It was always Simon who was the mother of the group. He was the one who was always the designated driver and always the one who I came to with problems and he would always solved him. But he didn't have to because he was my best friend and I loved him for that but he never let me wear things he thought were inappropriate and it was always Isabelle who got him to stop bickering and just let me wear what I was wearing because Simon always listened to Isabelle. They have been together for 2 years already and I so shipped it.

"That's why you're there, Simon. To ward off the bad guys", I said teasingly as I walked to stand by him.

"Clarissa, I forbid you to wear that in public" Simon said with all the authority he could muster, which was very little, that Isabelle and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. So Simon just walked off to the door looking mad but not before I heard him mutter "Bitch" which made me and Isabelle to laugh even harder. And I responded

"But you love me", I said this through my laughter and he just ignored me. He continued to walk toward my Maserati Ghibli. All of our families were rich so we were all able to have our own fancy cars but we always liked going places in a group even if it was a concert. Isabelle, Jonathan, and I followed after him and I yell to him, "If I let you drive my car tonight, will you love me then, Best friend". I say this sweetly as he turns around and i see he I lost in thought because he was considering.

"Deal", he says and I chuck him my keys which he of course does not catch and I watch as he gets in the car and Isabelle gets into the passenger seat which means I am stuck in the back with my brother. As I get into the car Maia, Jordan, Alec,and Magnus are getting into Magnus' Jaguar F-type.

"Hey pumpkin", and Maia looks up as she is about to get into the car. That's what we call each other. Maia and I have known each other since our first year of high school which would say I have know her for 3 years. She and I are Juniors. Along with Simon and Isabelle. Jordan, Alec, Magnus, and Jonathan are seniors. "You look hot".

She smirked and said "You too, Pumpkin" before she got into the car and they started the car so I got into my car and we set off to the concert at the Forum.

It would take us an hour so I got out my book that I always kept in my car for long trips. It would take us about an hour to get there because we all lived in Hollywood Hills. As I read, the others talked and from what I heard Isabelle had gotten front-row tickets for all of us. I read for about about 35 minutes before I got bored because this was like my 5th time reading it. I would have to get another book from the bookstore which I didn't have a problem with I was a total book worm. Only my friends knew I read a lot and the Literature teacher. I looked to my left and see that Jonathan is asleep and that Simon and Isabelle are talking quietly. I also see that it is about 7;3o and that we are almost there

"Turn on the radio", I said.

"Why? I thought you were reading your book.", Simon said as he drove.

"I got bored",I said which caused Isabelle to look back at me with shock etched on her face.

"You got bored?. The Clarissa Morgenstern, book nerd queen of book nerds has gotten bored of reading.", Isabelle said this.

"Just turn the radio on, Bitch", I said while I rolled my eyes and she turned on the radio and I gasped out loud from shock and excitement because my favorite songs was on. "Woahh! Sing it with me, Bitch. Pleaseeee." I say this with my best puppy dog face.

"But I don't-Oh bloody hell not the face..oh fine. Jeez Bitch" Isabelles sighs in exasperation and I smile in triumph.

"Thank you, Bitch", and then I started to sing.

[Clarissa: Bold} {Isabelle:Italic} {Both:Italic and Bold}

I've seen the world

Done it all

Had my cake now

Diamonds, brilliant

And Bel Air now

Hot summer nights, mid July

When you and I were forever wild

The crazy days, city lights

The way you'd play with me like a child

My head bobbed toward the music and I could see Jonathan in the corner of my eye and he was awake so I pointed at him and sang.

Will you still love me

When I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me

When I got nothing but my aching soul?

I know you will, I know you will

I know that you will

And all Jonathan was mutter to himself, "I have a crazy ass sister" and went back to sleep.

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

I've seen the world, lit it up

As my stage now

Channeling angels in the new age now

Hot summer days, rock 'n' roll

The way you play for me at your show

And all the ways I got to know

Your pretty face and electric soul

"Izzy, sing.", I command her and she does.

Will you still love me

When I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me

When I got nothing but my aching soul?

I know you will, I know you will

I know that you will

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

"Bitch, you know I will", I say this as she sings her verse to me

Dear Lord, when I get to heaven

Please let me bring my man

When he comes tell me that you'll let him in

Father tell me if you can

Oh that grace, oh that body

Oh that face makes me wanna party

He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds

Will you still love me

When I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me

When I got nothing but my aching soul?

I know you will, I know you will

I know that you will

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?

Isabelle and I finish the song as we pull into the parking lot and it is so crowded. Why would anyone want to see someone so ugghh. I don't even have a word to describe Jace Herondale.

As we look for a parking spot, I see Magnus's car and point it out to Isabelle and Simon. I see them all leaning on the car waiting for us. As we pull into a spot on the side of them they stop their conversations.

"Why'd you guys take so long. We've been waiting for ages", Maia said this with exasperation and loud causing people to look at us.

"Maia, only 5 minutes", Jordan whispered to her but we could still hear him which caused us all to chuckle.

"Come on. The concerts about to start. We don't wanna be late", Isabelle started to get out all of our tickets and walked toward the ticket box while we stood back and waited and talked. Once she got back and gave us our tickets we went to the front of the stage where our seats were. According to Isabelle, the concert would begin in just a few minutes.

"pUMPKIN, did you bring the earphones?" I whispered to Maia quietly so Isabelle couldn't hear us. She nodded and handed me a pair and sat down next to me and started her music. For most concerts we would just sit down and be on our phone's listening to music. Maia always brought an extra pair of earphones because I always forgot to bring my own.

The concert began and I quickly put my earphones in and went on my phone to read fanfiction. Don't even act like most of you don't read it.

For more than hour or so, I listen to the playlist I made just for the concert and then, all of a sudden my phone dies. It's like God wants me to gauge my eyes out. I see Simon and Isabelle standing together listening to the song Jace now singing, The A Team. Alec and Magnus are no where to be found; Jonathan and Jordan are standing next to each other so I get up and stand next to them. I can barely hear myself think as I walk towards them.

"How much longer until it ends?", I ask them while I lean on Jordan.

"Umm I think after this song, he's doing one more and then that's it.", my brother says this and I nod while I lay my head on Jordan's bicep because I'm too short to reach his shoulder. Jordan and I have only known each other since he was a junior and I was a sophomore. He's always been a brother to me like Simon and Jonathan.

"So that was The A Team",the crowd cheers as he finishes his song, "so for this next song I would like a lucky person to come up here on the stage today." The stadium cheered so loud I had to cover my ears. "Who would like to come up here tonight?"

"Oh here we go", I said to Jordan and Jonathan which caused them to chuckle and I put my head back on Jordan's bicep. I took his phone from his hand and his password was so easy(it was the numbers that had the letter M-A-I-A) and I started to play Candy Crush Saga when this blinding light landed on Jordan, Jonathan,and I.

"What the fu-", my words were cut off as I looked up and saw that everyone was staring at including Jace Herondale.

"Why the fuck is everyone staring at me?", I say this to Jonathan and everyone around me has heard me because it was so quiet.

"He wants you to go up on stage.", Jonathan said trying not to laugh. Jordan, I can see is trying to keep a straight face. Isabelle and Simon are suddenly next to me and Isabelle is beaming at me. Alec and Magnus have showed up and are laughing with Maia.

"Umm", I say this loud enough for Mr. Goldilocks to hear me and say, "I'm okay. Pick someone else".

For a second I see the look of surprise and disbelief in his eyes but after a second he recovers, clears his throat and says, "Well I picked you…so if you would please come up here and have a seat on this stool". He points to a stool standing a few feet beside him.

"I'm okay really", and when I say this I can hear my friends laughing in the background. "Bitch, what're you-" and suddenly I am on stage and am being stared at by hundreds of people.

"What is your name?", he says this as I sit down and see my friends laughing and Isabelle smiling at me.

"Clarissa.", once I am handed a microphone.

"I like your shirt.", he says pointing at my shirt.

I roll my eyes and say to him in the microphone, "I like it too. That's why I wore it." And I hear a few surprised gasps at how I speak to him and I still hear my friends laughing which is getting annoying.

"Stop laughing, assholes". I snap at them into the microphone accidentally which makes them shut up and the whole audience laughs. I have never been shy or have had stage fright so I don't get embarrassed.

I mean for what I said to offend Jace but it only makes him chuckle and smirk even wider. Oh, how I would love to wipe that smirk off. "You're fiery", I scowl as he says this, "I like it."

"Well that's good for you isn't?". Sarcastically, I say this to him but he doesn't stop smirking! "What am I up here for?", I ask him half curious and half irritated.

"Well I would love to sing for you to sing a song with me.", he says this and the crowd goes into a cloud-9. I just sigh.

"Okay. Well let's get this over with. What song?", he leans in close and whispers the song; I am grateful that I know the song he said. I have to start it off.

{Clarissa:Bold} {Both:Italic} {Jace:Italic and Bold}

All I knew this morning when I woke

Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before

And all I've seen since eighteen hours ago is golden eyes and dimples

And your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like

I smirk as I see Jace's eyes widen as he realizes I can sing.

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now

Then Jace and I start to sing together

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now

I just want to know you, know you, know you.

'Cause all I know is we said hello

And your eyes look like coming home

All I know is a simple name, everything has changed

All I know is you held the door

You'll be mine and I'll be yours

All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

And as I sing this I try not to look at Jace because I could feel him looking at me and I just try to concentrate on the audience but I see my friends looking like they're about to burst out laughing. I probably look like I have a stick up my ass but I am having fun singing.

And all my walls stood tall painted blue

But I'll take 'em down, take 'em down and open up the door for you

And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind

Making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel like

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now

I just want to know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said hello

And your eyes look like coming home

All I know is a simple name, everything has changed

All I know is you held the door

You'll be mine and I'll be yours

All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why

I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time

And meet me there tonight

And let me know that it's not all in my mind

I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now

I just want to know you, know you, know you

All I know is we said hello

Your eyes look like coming home

All I know is a simple name, everything has changed

All I know is he held the door

You'll be mine and I'll be yours

All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

All I know is we said hello

So dust off your highest hopes

All I know is pouring rain

And everything has changed

All I know is a new found grace

All my days, I'll know your face

All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

By the time the song ended it was dead quiet and Jace looked at me in wonder and amazement which caused me to looked down. It was silent for a moment until the crowd applauded and I moved to jump off the stage when Jace grabbed my arm and asked me, "What school do you go to?"

I looked at him for a second and then said, "Idris School Of Arts and Talent" and then I turned around and walked toward my my friends.

"Let's go", I say to them once I am off the stage and when I say this I say it as if something normal has just happened so they just gape at me in shock. "Come on", and they finally ,after a couple of minutes, move toward the exit.

And before I leave I hear Jace say "I'll see you soon, Clarissa.",with that stupid smirk.

I stop to respond to him and turn to face him, "I don't think so, Jace Herondale"

And then I walk out.
