DISCLAIMER: NOT CC, SHE'S COOLER THAN ME!

Hey everyone! Here's a new story. I hadn't found too many with the teacher/student thing and I hope you like it. Please remember to keep me posted on the thoughts and comments to each chapter so I know how you all like it! Now on with Magnus :)B

MAGNUS

All I could think about was how I didn't want to lose the opportunity given to me. I hadn't had the greatest outcomes and now...well, I never saw myself like this. I had dreams, as we all do. My dreams were halted and stopped completely when my mother died. I had returned here to Brooklyn, leaving my life in Europe alone. I was a photographer and now...a high school photography teacher. My mother had gotten ovarian cancer and there was nothing to do. I came home to take care of her and when I was finally able to return to the life I knew, well, it wasn't there anymore. My friend Ragnor had helped me get this job as my funds were low after my mother's funeral and so I was extremely grateful to him. His wife, Camille, was the headmistress here at Alicante Prep and so the job was pretty much mine.

I turned my alarm off and turned, laying on my back as I thought about the day ahead of me. I had students from Freshman to Seniors, Camille letting me know that the elective courses were mixed grades. I finally sit up as I hear my cat pawing at the bedroom door, announcing his hunger. I get up and open the door, smiling just a bit as my darling ball of fur rushes before me. I get to the kitchen and open some of the tuna, pouring it into his bowl before going back to the bathroom. I had sold my mom's townhome and used that to help purchase a loft, not being able to live there without her. I auctioned off the things I could, keeping what I wanted first of course. I turned on the shower and let the water heat up as I did my business, brushing my teeth also before getting in.

I sigh as the water hits my head, drowning me in its warmth. I lean my head back to make sure my hair get good and wet and the wash it with my chamomile shampoo, using the same type of body gel to my body also. I get out and wrap a black towel around my waist, walking to my room. I pull out a pair of black dress pants and a purple dress shirt. Camille let me know that I had to do dressy Monday thru Thursday, jeans only an option on Fridays. I grabbed out a skinny white tie, Hanging it off the foot of my bed as I sat to do my hair and makeup. I knew I had to tone it down because lets face it, these were going to be snobby rich snots and I really didn't feel like trying to defend myself to children.

I used very little eyeliner and only put the glitter in my hair with my spray, after using gel of course to make it spikey. I kept some chapstick in my pocket though, not wanting my lips to dry out from lack of gloss. I picked up my tie and wrapped it in its place, rolling my sleeves up afterwards. I checked on Chairman Meow, I loved the name I gave my kitty, and then walked down to my ducati and headed for the school after putting on my helmet, only using my black mustang that had the pink stripes down it for breast cancer when it was raining or just too damn cold. I park in the faculty parking, noticing some students already on the quad. I smile and nod to some them and see some of the girls swoon. I roll my eyes, this'll be fun. I made my way to the office so I could clock in before heading to my room.

"Morning, Magnus."

I smile as I punch in my time card. "Camille, my if I wasn't who I was Ragnor would have quite the competition today. You're simply ravishing my dear."

She blushed, just as I knew she would. "Oh hush. Here's the rolls so you know who's in each period. You still have a bit of time before class, so you can arrange them how you want. The ones with the stars next to the names are the bullies and trouble makes depending on who's in each period, sweetie."

I nod as I take the small pile. "Anyone to really look out for?"

She lets out a sigh. "Jonathan Morgenstern and his group. They tend to pick on the ones they deem worthy and are harsh to some of the students. He has a sister,but she's really nice and not a problem, her boyfriend argues with him a lot, Johnathan Horendale."

"Alright, so separate those two, got it." I kiss her cheek and then head to the room she told me was designated to me.

I look at how the room is lined up and sigh, trying to figure out how I wanted to approach this. Camille did update the camera's and the equipment needed for me as the last professor was very untidy in keeping everything up to date. The lab with the computers was next door and so I knew when it came time, we'd have to go there so I could show everyone how to use the programs. I looked at the rows, trying to figure out if I wanted any order. I shook my head and decided to see how the students would move around themselves.

I sit the roll down, putting my camera on the desk and with the roll sheets, my keys and phone(on silent of course) in the top drawer of my desk. I put the date up in the upper right corner of the white board and take out the syllabus that I was required to make, going around to put them on each desktop so that would be taken care of. I had just finished when the kids started filing in and sat on the desk once the bell rang, the roll sheet in hand.

"Good morning, class."

"OMG You're Magnus Bane."

I heard from some girl in the back and smiled. "Yes, and you are?"

She blushed a bit. "Clarissa Morgenstern, um..Clary."

I looked down at my sheet and checked her off. "Good morning, Miss Morgenstern."

"Morning."

I let out a breath as the final bell rings for tardiness and look at everyone. "As Miss Morgenstern as stated, I'm Mr. Bane, or Magnus. Now, Why don't we start with you and go around so I can learn your names and what classification you're in."

The girl at front started and we went around the whole class. I looked at my sheet each time and noticed, quite happily, that no big stars were in this class. At least the first class of the day wouldn't be too hard. I look up and smile. "Alright, where did the last teacher leave off before break? Yes, Miss Lightwood."

A girl with long raven hair sat up a bit straighter next to Morganstern. "We really didn't do much. She just told us to take pictures with our phone and hand them in, Magnus."

I took in a deep breath and let it out. "Alright, this may be a hard class than. I should have asked before and I'm sorry. I don't think it'll be too difficult. Let's look at the syllabus."

I then went over what was required for the course and then as the bell rang, told them to write a short paragraph on what they really wanted out of this class so I knew how and what to really teach them. They left and I went around to pull out some more of the syllabi.

"Mr. Bane."

I looked up to see the girls. "Yes, Miss Morgenstern, Miss Lightwood."

The redhead bit her lip just a tiny bit and the other elbowed her a tad. She nodded and then looked at me. "Izzy and I were wondering if we could have a photography club. We asked the last teacher, but she said she didn't have time and well, your…"

"You're like a really great photographer. Oops, sorry."

I smiled at the girls. "Let me talk it over with the Headmistress and I'll let you know, ladies."

They both smiled and nodded in thanks as they left. The rest of the morning went like that, I was just grateful I didn't have too many trouble makers together. As lunch came around, I pulled out my roll sheets to look them over and went to the cafeteria. I was surprised they had real food here and then shook my head, these were rich kids I should know better. I was waiting in a salad line when someone fell against me and I reached out to steady him. "Hey, are yo…"

I felt my breath catch as I stared into a pair of bright blue eyes to find them staring back at me.

He quickly got up and I saw his cheeks immediately turn red. "I-I'm sorry."

He then quickly went in the other direction. I glanced at some boys, who were laughing, and made a note to ask about them. I grabbed my salad and made my way back to the room. I sat and ate as I went over the roll for next period. I had the Morganstern kid and the Horendale kid next, that wasn't going to make my day. I finished my salad as the bell rang for the students to start making their way and quickly put papers on their desks. I wasn't paying attention as they came in and took their seats, but did what I did in every other class. I asked for their name and classification.

"Alexander Lightwood, Senior."

I looked up from looking at the paper, my pen barely touching it as I looked into the blue eyes from lunch, oh I was in hell. I just nodded as he was the last one and then put the roll down, going over the paper. I tried not to look at the eyes in the corner. I walked around in this class since the two boys were quite close with Alexander in the middle of them. Something about that kid was off. He was wearing all black, which he actually pulled off. It was the way he carried himself that was off, like he was frightened to have anyone know his secrets. I made my way up to the front of the class as I gave them the same assignment as everyone else, thankful Camille gave me a free period for my last class of the day. I guess she knew I'd need it that way.

"Watch it, Lightwood."

I looked up again to see the Morganstern kid knock Alexander's books to the floor. I made to get up, but he was already out the door before I could call him. I got down and helped pick up the books. "You alright?"

He looked at me and the blush returned. "Yes, thank you Mr. Bane."

I just nod and smile. "Does he do that a lot?"

He didn't answer, just shrugged as he left. I slumped in my chair and sighed, I could feel a headache coming on and something in the pit of my stomach. I dismissed the feeling though, because I couldn't have that happen here. As I said before, I needed this job. I closed my eyes and those blue eyes popped in front of my mind. Alexander Lightwood looked so helpless and afraid, but of what I didn't know.

"How'd it go?"

I jumped and turned to see Camille walking in. I smiled and sat up a bit. "It went alright, the boys were fine till the bell. Does Alexander Lightwood get picked on a lot?"

Camille sat in one of the student chairs so that if someone looked in it wouldn't be weird, I'm guessing. "Yes, he's very closed off. His sister and brother aren't. Jonathan Horendale is his adopted brother and you had his sister this morning."

I nod. "They are very outspoken. By the way, Isabelle Lightwood and Clarissa Morgenstern asked about a club. I told them I'd talk to you."

She nodded, "That's fine. They are both good students. If you get enough interested, I don't see why not. You have to have the meeting in public places though, Magnus. You're single and good looking and I'm sure they know that."

I chuckle. "Yes, Clarissa knew who I was right off. I also happen to bat for a different team, but I get what you mean, Cam."

She got up and smiled. "Good. Let the girls know if they get enough willing to be in it than I'm fine with it."

I nod and watch her leave. I lean back again and sigh, I was going to have to start from scratch with a lot of the kids here because their fucking teacher didn't teach them anything. I ran a hand down my face and opened up my drawer to get my keys as the bell rang for the end of the day. I grabbed my helmet from under my desk and then made my way to the parking lot.

"Goodbye, Mr. Bane."

I turn to see Clarissa and Isabelle and walk over. "Afternoon ladies. If you get enough students together, the club has been passed as long as we meet in public places."

They each grinned like Christmas came early and nodded in thanks. I nod in farewell and make my way to my bike, heading home for a much needed tylenol.

I get home and turn my phone back off silent, sitting it on the coffee table as I make my way to my room, my helmet next to it. I slip out of my clothes and pull on some pajama pants before making my way to the kitchen to see what I can make me for dinner. I pull out some chicken and get started for a sandwich, grabbing a tylenol from the cabinet as the chicken heats up, starting to sizzle just a bit. I pop the tablet in my mouth and drink some water, sitting the bottle next to me while I flip over the chicken I was frying. When it was finished, I turned off the stove and pulled out a bun, lettuce, and tomato with some honey mustard. After putting my dinner together I made my way to my couch and to my portfolio. I had all my lesson ideas in my folders and pulled them out, also deciding on bringing some examples for the first assignment.

The students were to go around their homes and take a picture of nature, or the park really. I wanted them to use nature, no people, and so I was going to bring some of my pics to show them. I loved shooting nature and new this was the easiest way to help familiarize people with a camera. I pulled out one I had of some butterflies that I captured in Maine on a vacation and some of the beaches of France for my examples. I set them in a folder with my keys, knowing I would have to take my car tomorrow so I didn't ruin my pictures. I put my phone on the charger and then climbed into bed. I tossed and turned, not being able to find a comfortable position. I huffed and laid on my back as the image of Alexander Lightwood in my arms popped in my head. "He's a student, a student. I can't have him." I repeated over and over, trying to get sleep to finally come to me.
