Sort of an AU, where all or favorite shadowhunters/downworlders go to high school. Enjoy :)

"Is it possible to feel connected to someone even if you've never talked to them?"

"I don't know, maybe."

"Definitely! Soulmates, I believe it. Go get her Aline!"

Aline sighed. Of course Magnus would say that it was real. He was the type of person who would literally walk up to someone and say, "Hi, you don't know me, but we're soulmates!" In fact he had.

"But, seriously Aline, who is this person?" asked Alec. Aline had called to talk to Alec, as out of all her friends he gave the best most heartfelt advice. But of course he was at his boyfriend, Magnus's, house. She like Magnus she just didn't think he took a lot of things completely seriously.

"I can't say." said Aline answering Alec's first question.

"Why not?" asked Alec. "Is it cause Magnus is here cause he'll leave." Aline heard an indignant "Hey" through the phone and then a laugh.

She smiled but only answered with a "No it's not that."

"Than what is it Al?" wined Alec. "Why are you hanging this over my head? I told you about Magnus before I even told him!"

"That's true," chimed in Magnus, "He kept me hanging forever!" Aline grinned at the dramatization. In truth Alec hadn't kept Magnus in the dark. He hadn't told many people so she supposed he had kept them in the dark.

"Just answer one question," said Alec after audibly shushing Magnus. "Does this mystery girl go to our school?"

After thinking for a second Aline tentatively answered, "Yeah..." Yes mystery girl did go to their school and it was hell.

The next day found Aline walking down the hall of Shadows Academy. Alec was beside her giving her her silence to brood when suddenly someone come out of nowhere running into her. "By the angel.." she muttered as she somehow managed to not fall down. A girl ran up to the person who had run into her and slapped him on the head.

"Mark, you idiot!" said the girl, her blonde curls flying everywhere and her green blue eyes alight. She turned to Aline and with an apologetic smile said, "I'm so sorry for my idiot of a brother, he is extremely clumsy."

"That's fine," murmured Aline, still a little mesmerized by the girl's eyes.

The girl's mouth quirked up in a smile as she held out her hand, "I'm Helen, this is my brother Mark.

"Yeah, I know." sad Aline. Then seeming to realize what she had said she amended, "I mean we have classes together so that's how I know your name." she ended lamely. "I'm Aline."

"Yeah, I know," said Helen with a crooked smile. "We have classes together. I'll see ya later Aline."

Helen walked away grinning at Aline over her shoulder. "Oh that's her isn't it?" asked Alec with a small smile. Not pressing the matter when his question was met with nothing but silence he asked, "What was that you said when he ran into you? By the angel? What is that?"

"What?" she asked confused. "I don't even remember saying that."

Why would she say "By the Angel" if this is an AU? Review so I know you want to know more!
