Maryse and Jocelyn walked into the Institute while waiting for a mission the two walked over to Luke, Valentine, and Robert in the corner talking about what everyone was talking about, Robert's father, the new head of the New York Insitute.
"Hey." Maryse said to the three boys of which one was so enchanted by the dark-haired teen that had just walked up with her best friend.
"Maryse, Jocelyn. Hello." Valentine said turning around from faceing the other boys.
"Hello, Valentine." Jocelyn said walking closer to her boyfriend and kissing him on the cheek not noticing Luke staring at her but quickly turning to Maryse so Jocelyn didn't catch him staring.
"So, did you to hear about Robert's father?" Luke asked Maryse and Jocelyn looking up to the stairs to the new head of the Institute.
"I just heard. So Robert how does it feel to be the head of the Institute's son?" Maryse smiled at the dark haired boy who obviously has a crush on her.
Robert laughed looking at his father who was walking down the stairs twords the teens in the corner.
"Hello kids. Robert. I need to speak with you." Andrew Lightwood said with no changing of expression on his face.
"Okay. Um, I'll be right back." Robert said to his friends then walking with his father upstairs to his father's office.
The other kids continued to talk while their friend went off with his father.
"Son, you know someday you will take over as head of this institute. Your mother and I have been talking and we've decided that to get you ready for this responcibility you should go to Idris and if you decide not to you will have to work harder on your fighting and stop "hanging out" with your friends, exspecially that Maryse girl, she seems to be distracting you." Andrew said sternly to his son with no show of an emotion.
"Maryse is not a "distraction"!" Robert said then clearing his voice.
"I mean I know and I am perfectly capable of staying here and training. I am not going to Idris. I will not leave this institute is like home to me and there is no way I am going to Idris." Robert said back to his father sternly and then before his father could argue back he walked to the door and stopped and looked at his father one more time.
"I am still going to "hang out" with my friends, and you are not going to stop me." Robert said then opening the door to see is mother standing there. He rushed by her and back downstairs to his friends.
"Phoebe. I'm going to guess you heard that." Andrew said looking at his wife with a subtle expression of sadness but then brushing it off.
"Yes, I did Andrew. You know he's alot like you. Stubborn, confident, and knows what he wants." Phoebe said smiling and kissing her husband.
