"Alec, Jace, Iz! Come to the kitchen!"
Alec, Jace and Izzy heard Maryse's voice from the kitchen. Alec stopped writing yet another text to Magnus and switched off his phone. He looked around in shock. Jace and Izzy were in his room. Painting the walls pink and putting up photos of a shirtless Magnus. He sighed.
"Jace, Iz, did you really had to do this?"
"Yes! It's amusing watching you when you're texting with Magnus. You don't pay any attention to your surroundings." Izzy laughed "I mean, we're here for at least three hours!"
"Um…really? three hours?" Alec was shocked to hear it "you're insane!"
"Alexander, Jonathan, Isabelle! Come over here NOW!" Maryse now screamed.
"We're coming, mum!" Alec shouted. Just then he noticed something sparkling. "Is that glitter?"
"Yep. And I've already convinced Magnus to give me some of his nudes to put up as well " Izzy laughed again. She was in a good mood, now that Alec wasn't sulking around after he and Magnus broke up. She was glad her brother was happy.
"What the fuck Iz!?" Jace was mad " you said the other side of the room was for my pics! That's the only reason why I agreed to help!"
" You seriously believed in that?" Izzy asked "You're really naive. And it would be sort of creepy. Give your pictures to Clary."
"I did! She's got the walls covered." Jace said.
"What the fuck did I say!?" Maryse stormed in. "I asked you all to come downstairs! You're ignoring me again because of these phones!"
"Actually, I was shouting at Izzy and Jace for doing this" Alec waved his arms
"Yes, but you still ignore me becouse of them. You keep texting Magnus, Clary or Simon. I'm taking the phones."
Isabelle and Jace handed their phones over, but Alec opened his instead.
"Okay, but I need to tell Magnus. He'll be mad if I don't."
"No, Alexander. You will give me your phone now."Maryse said.
"But how will I tell him?" Alec argued "Mom, it's Magnus. He'll be really woried. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on his way right now!"
-"You will tell him in person." Maryse said pocketing the phones "Anyway, I wanted to tell you all that you lack social skills. Alec is too shy and can't defend himself in conversations. Jace is too arogant and Izzy refuses to dress normaly. Plus, both Jace and Iz are behind their studies. So I signed you up for school."
Before any of the teenagers protested, the door opened with a laud bang. Magnus stormed in and looked at Alec.
"Alec! You're okay. Why didn't you reply to my text?" he asked nervously.
"My mum took my phone. And she's here. You could say hello." Alec said.
"Good Morning Maryse" Magnus said "I'm glad to see you again."
"Good Morning Magnus. So Alec wasn't joking when he said you'd be over in 5 minutes if he didn't text back." Maryse said. "But, as you see, he's okay so I'd like you to leave for a second so I can talk with my children."
"Of course. I'll be in the kitchen." Magnus kissed Alec on his cheek and walked out.
"As I said, you're going to school. If you get good grades – she glanced at Isabelle and Jace - and start talking to people – she looked at Alec – I'll give your phones back after the parents meeting."
"When is it?" Jace asked.
"In about 2 months." Maryse said.
"What? You can't do that!" Izzy shouted "I need to contact my boyfriend!"
"Watch me." Maryse said and walked out.
