Beep! Beep! Beep!
Alec groaned and slammed his fist into his alarm clock. Crack! He winced when he saw that he just broke his alarm clock considering that was the third one this month.
Today he was staring senior year at Idris Academy. His siblings, Jace and Isabelle Lightwood, are there too in the same year as him. Isabelle spent her summer schooling so she could graduate with Alec and Jace.
I sat up in bed and ran my hand through my hair. I flung my blankets off myself and dangled my feet off the side of my bed. I could hear running footsteps and immediately realized it was Isabelle.
"Alec!" She yelled as she banged on my door. "Alec! Get up!" she burst through the door and jumped onto my bed.
I stood up and walked over to my closet. Izzy was wearing white and peach stripped pajama bottoms and a matching peach tank top. He raven black hair was in…damn it. What were they called again? Oh right, curlers and she continued to jump up and down on my bed.
"Isabelle, I take it that you are excited about senior year?" I say as I pull out a pair of gray ripped jeans. I walked over to my bed and laid them out.
She continued to jump. I noticed her toe nails and finger nails were painted a matching blue color with white heart gems on them.
"Of course, silly! Ohh, can I pleaaasssee pick out your outfit?" she squealed.
"No."
"Pleaaaaaasssseeeeeee Alec? Only today? I promise!" She yelled out and jumped off my bed landing right in front of me as I walked back from my closet with a black sweat shirt that had the Idris Academy symbol on it.
"Fine, only because you are graduating early." I say because I was in no mood to argue. She squeaked and pushed me out of the way and ran into my closet. I threw my sweat shirt on the bed and walked into the bathroom connected to my room. We all have bathrooms connected into our room.
Our parents, Maryse and Robert Lightwood, own a company. Idris Academy is really expensive; you either get in on a scholar ship (something you don't want to mention) or paying monthly fees. For three high school students and one elementary, it gets quiet expensive.
I strip from my sweats and t shirt and turn on the shower. I jump in and quickly wash my hair and face and whatnot. I get out and pull a towel around my waist and walk out of my room to see Isabelle picked out gray jeans that are ripped around the knee and shin and are very similar to the ones I had earlier, a blue long sleeve shirt that 'Makes my eyes pop!' as Isabelle says it and my black all star Converse.
I walk out into the hallway and see Isabelle already dress in a light pink skirt with a white long sleeve and a jean jacket covering her sleeves until it reached her elbow with white combat boots. She had let her hair out of the curlers and it cascaded down her back like a black waterfall.
"Alec, you look so good!" she said as she ushered me into her room. Her room is painted scarlet with gold swirls on the walls. She pulled me into her bathroom and started working on my hair.
"Hey, I didn't say you could do my hair!" I noticed.
"Ugh. Alec, I am on the phone. Hush!" She said. "Anyways, sorry about that Meliorn."
Meliorn is her boyfriend, she met him over the summer; he was a math tutor. I am actually surprised because she is known as 'The Heartbreaker' so it's shocking.
About two minutes later, Isabelle pulls out a hair straighter. She told Meliorn bye and clicked off the phone as she plugged in the hair-burning-torture device.
"Wanna straighten your hair, Alec?" She questioned me. "It will make you look even better!" she squealed.
I sighed. "Fine, just don't burn me like you burn your cooking." I said with a small smile. She slapped me on the back of the head and got to work on my hair.
"Almost ready?" Jace asked me as I walked out of Izzy's room and tried to go into mine but he blocked my way.
"Move Jace and I am. I just have to eat and we will go, is that fine, your highness?" I say and bow at the same time.
"Why, yes my love." He says with a small grin and walks down stairs and into the kitchen I suppose.
I stumble into my room and grab my black Jansport backpack and run downstairs. I open the kitchen door to see Mom making pancakes with Jace and Max sitting at the table. Max is reading a comic book and Jace is picking his fingernails.
Isabelle comes through the doors after me and sits next to Max who is wearing gray jeans and a red polo with red high-top Converse.
"Hey." Jace says with a grin. "I absolutely adore your hair!" he squeals out.
"Thanks." I mumble and take a seat next to Isabelle.
"I did it for your information." Isabelle says staring down Jace. I laugh as Max turns the page to his manga and pushes his glasses up.
Mom walks over to the table and hands us our plates of pancakes and a bottle of syrup.
"Excited for school?" She asks. She is wearing a red blazer and a matching skirt with a black silk tank top underneath it with black heels. Her hair is up in a knot and she is wearing red lipstick. She sips her coffee.
"Yeah…" I mumble and continue to eat my breakfast as Isabelle talks about what her day is going to be like.
After we all finish, Mom gives us hugs, some lunch money and makes sure we have our house key considering both her and Dad won't be home till after ten.
"Alright, then. Bye you guys!" She called as we all walked out the door. Max sat with Isabelle in the back and Jace sat in the front with me; I drove.
