Chapter Text
Alec POV
We had gotten our schedules and Clary and I were in class 12A while Jace and Izzy were in class 12B. I looked down at my schedule. We had homeroom with Mr.Smith first. Clary and I walked into the room one after the other.
“Class, I would like to introduce you to our new students. They are transferring from Balzac International for the remainder of the school year due to a storm that caused their building to collapse. Would you like to introduce yourselves?” Mr.Smith said while looking in our direction.
Clary walked up to the front of the class. “Um...Hi. My name is Clary. I like to draw and hang out with my friends. I’m 17 years old.”
“Ok! Thank you Clary. You can sit next to James. James, raise your hand please.” The tall, green haired kid in the back reluctantly raised his hand and Clary started to walk towards him.
“Hi, my name’s Clary.” She said.
“I know, you said it a minute ago.” He replied, clearly annoyed that he had to socialize.
Clary awkwardly shuffled into her seat, discouraged by her conversation with James.
I decided to keep my introduction as short as possible.
“Hi. My name is Alec.” I walked towards Clary and sat in the seat right in front of her.
“Ok...I guess you can sit there for now.” Mr.Smith said, confused by my actions.
I decided to tune out the rest of the class until the bell rang. I started heading for science class.
The class ended up being a completely bore. I decided to make a schedule in my head to patrol the school grounds for demon activities. Clary was trying to get me to play along with the introduction game that our teacher had planned for us, but unfortunately I had to leave for the bathroom before it was my turn. By the time I came back, class was already over and we were headed to math.
Clary actually tried to take notes in class and I spent the time staring at the clock. It was almost lunch time and I had to check in with Izzy and Jace.
When it was time for lunch, we found a table that all of us could sit at.
“How was class?” Clary asked.
“Oh, it was awesome!” Izzy said.
“Yeah. It’s great. There’s soooo much fun stuff to do.” Jace replied sarcastically.
“Jace, don’t be such a downer! You have to give it a chance.” Izzy said.
“I think you guys are forgetting that we are here on a mission. Going to school is just a cover for us. No need to get so worked up about it.” I said.
“We always have missions though! We should get to do something fun for a change.” Izzy argued.
“And you can have fun—as long as it doesn’t interfere with the mission. We’re already on thin ice with the clave, we don’t want to make it worse.” I said, frustration seeping into my voice.
The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch.
“We’ll have this conversation later.” I said before heading for social studies. Clary followed me after a quick goodbye to Izzy and Jace.
“You don’t have to be such a stick in the mud Alec. Have fun once in a while.” She said when she caught up to me.
“Someone has to be since you guy think it’s okay to play around while we are on a mission.” I replied. We walked silently to social studies. It was the only class I was slightly interested in since we had never learned about mundane history in detail before.
The class was pretty intriguing and the teacher was bearable. She didn’t drone on about one topic and actually tried to make history fun. That was probably my favourite class of the entire day. We had a study period next and I decided to leave. Clary wanted to stay and try to find anything of interest in the school. She said would get a ride home with Jace and Izzy. I wanted to check out our new place out before the rest of them came. The clave had decided we should live closer to the school so they had bought us a 4 bedroom flat half a mile away.
When I reached the flat I was immediately met with a pile of boxes. I picked mine up and walked around the place. I decided to pick the bedroom farthest to the right and put my things in the room. It had the bare minimum- a bed, a closet, and a cabinet.
I put my clothes in the closet and took a map of the school out. I crossed off all the places I’d went to and put notes down if there was any traces of demons. After about 45 minutes the front door opened up, which meant that Jace, Clary and Izzy were back. I went out of my room and looked for them. They were all sitting around the table in the living room.
“Hi guys.” I greeted them. They responded with hi's and hellos’ of their own.
“We were just talking about our day!” Izzy said.
We spend the rest of the day talking and decided to order takeout since there was nothing in the fridge. It was overall a good day and they had fun at school (no matter how much Jace liked to say otherwise, his grin always gave him away).
