Idris University had always run on a system; those who were different rarely interacted. It had been that way for three decades, and no one expected any drastic changes.
Alec Lightwood had always been on the top of the social ladder. In high school, he had been the star football player. In college, he and his sister, Isabelle Lightwood, and his cousin Jace Herondale, were practically royalty, about as high up the social ladder as one could get. Jace and Isabelle frequently slept around, but Alec had never been one for flings or one-night stands and only been in two relationships, both extremely serious. He had always broken them off, as he never seemed to see the spark with either of the two girls. He went to Idris because his grandfather ran the school, and didn't really care much about his education. His parents would eventually pass on their giant business to Isabelle, Jace, and him, and he was extremely satisfied in taking random classes that his parents advised him to take.
Magnus Bane was always the shy kid that didn't speak much. Most people didn't know he existed, and he was fine with that. His parents sent him off to Idris because they wanted him to be a doctor; he secretly wanted to be an artist or a fashion designer. But his parents would never know of his dreams, and even if they did know, he would continue his studies as a doctor and consider art and design as his hobbies on the side. He enjoyed his art and design classes immensely more than his medical classes. He was perfectly content with his life.
AN: And that is the start of the story! Don't worry, future chapters WILL be longer, this is just some background information on the characters. Anyway, please review! I'd really love to see your opinions on this. Thank you all for reading!
