I went to Starbucks last night and the bartender asked for my name and since I’m so much into the Shadowhunters’ world, i told him my name’s Clary… he gave me an amused look and i just grinned at him… he’s not supposed to be the one preparing for the drink, you know there are other people assigned for that but after i paid, he told me to wait a while as he went and prepared my drink.. good thing there are no people lining up behind me.. then when he’s finished, as he handed me my drink, he said “I’m Jace.” I raised my eyebrow questioningly at him and started to walk but he added “And by the way, it’s true. See?” he then pointed out to his name card. And there it read “Jonathan.”
I just chuckled as i turn to walk away leaving him laughing…
