Jace's POV

I was standing in my new room un-packing. Which for me only took 30 minutes. I folded my clothes put them in the dresser, fixed my bed, I hung up the only picture I had which was of Izzy, Alec, Max and I, and I put my birth father's box on the night table beside my bed. Once I was finished I look around my room which looked the same as my last one: bare. We had just moved to New York from Idris. So tomorrow was our first day at our new school Shadowhunter Academy, the school for the talented. I got in for music, fighting and football, Iz got in for fashion design and cheerleading, and music, and Alec got in for archery, football, and music.

I came out of my musings and decided to take a shower then walk around New York. Before we moved we came to New York all the time, so this was like our second home. So when we got accepted into the ShadowHunter Academy and Mom said we had to move none of us really minded.

I got in the shower and put on a white v-neck, black skinny jeans, my leather jacket, and a pair of Doc Martins. I looked in the mirror and smirked as I took in my appearance perfect gold hair, eyes that looked like liquid gold, and the body of a Greek god. Seriously I had the kind of face that could swoon a blind girl.

I walked out of the door heading toward the coffee shop a couple a few streets away, Java Jones. I walked into the small shop and ordered a black coffee with two sugars then I headed to the back and sat down on a green velvet couch listening to the guy named Eric on the stage reciting poetry about his loins. He sounded like he threw up a dictionary. I toned out the guy on stage a looked around the shop when I saw a flash of red come in through the door. The girl had red hair that looked like flames hidden under a plain black baseball hat with the letters JC on the back, a tight blue long sleeve shirt, black skinny jeans, green converse, and a black leather string around her neck one connected to a thick silver ring with a M in the middle and two stars on the side. Her figure was slender and perfect, I couldn't make out the details of her face because of the hat, but I could see her ivory skin that stood out against her hair. I heard her angelic voice talking to the man at the counter as she ordered a black coffee. She didn't take her hat off as she sat down and pulled out a sketch pad and started drawing.

I wanted to walk up and talk to her, but something about her made me nervous which was surprising I'm never nervous about talking to girls, why should I be I'm stunningly attractive, but something about her made me think she wanted to be left alone. So I just sat there and watched hoping she would take off her hat so I could see her face, her eyes. She didn't.

After a while she got up and left and I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, I probably would never see her again. After the mysterious redhead left I decided it was time to head home.

I walked inside our house that was looked sort of like a huge Victorian style church. When I came in Max was laying on the coffee table sleeping. I chuckled that kid could sleep anywhere, he was like a cat.

I walked into the kitchen, and saw Maryse cooking and Alec cutting vegetables and nearly groaned. The tension in the room cut like a knife, ever since Alec came out about being gay things haven't been good between him and Mom and Dad.

"Hey." I said, breaking the heavy silence in the air.

"Where have you been?" Mom asked, accusingly glaring at me.

"I went to Java Jones." I said, innocently.

"Without telling anyone?" I swear if looks could kill I would have been dead right then.

"No I told my magical unicorn, Bob. I'm surprised he didn't tell you h-" I went on sarcastically before she cut me off.

"Enough, you're not in trouble just tell someone next time." She said, firmly and I nodded.

"So what's for dinner?" I asked, casually.

"Spaghetti, and after dinner Max, your father, and I are heading to the airport we have another business trip."

I thought I heard Alec mutter something like "Figures" from the oven. He wasn't wrong they were usually gone for weeks or even months at a time. They usually left us home alone and took Max with them since he was only 9. It sucked, but we dealt with it.

AFTER DINNER

Mom, Dad, and Max just left for the airport when I realized I hadn't seen my annoying sister, in fact she didn't even come down for dinner.

"Hey, Alec where's our annoying sister at?" I asked, Alec rolled his eyes.

"She's been upstairs for 5 hours trying to find the perfect first day of school outfit so she can impress hot guys." Alec said, in a mocking voice.

"Well I hope she doesn't impress too many guys, because then you two are going to be fighting over them." I said, laughing as he blushed.

"Shut up." He grumbled, as his face flushed a bright red. I put my hands up in mock surrender.

"Okay, I'm going to got to sleep. I seriously don't want to be late for the first day of school." Alec said, heading towards the stairs.

"Me too." I said, following behind him.

As I laid in my bed I couldn't help but think about the red head from the coffee shop. I just couldn't get her out of my head. Even though I didn't see her face I knew she was beautiful. I drifted off to sleep thinking about her.

I DO NOT OWN TMI!

So hey this is my first story, and sure it's probably gonna be cliche and suckish but hey deal with it! If you don't like it don't read it!

Well anyway so this is about THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS by the amazing CASSANDRA CLARE! I will probably mention other characters from other major fandoms so yeah...
