Isabelle Lightwood woke up early as she usually did. And just for a moment she stayed in bed with her eyes closed and pretended that it was just a normal day. She would get up in 15 minutes, make a horribly burned breakfast for her family and after watching them eat it without complaining about the taste they would start training.

She allowed herself to revel in that fantasy for a bit longer before she had to open her eyes and face reality. But then it came banging on her door, or well.. Jace came banging on her door.

She sighed and got up to get ready. Nothing was normal. Nothing had been normal for the last few months.

The Clave was investigating their parents connection to Valentine Morgenstern and therefore Maryse and Robert Lightwood had to be in Idris.

The Penhallows had temporarily taken over the New York Institute. Jace, Alec and Isabelle were still allowed to live and train there, however they were not allowed to go hunting.

Basically they were inactive shadowhunters at the moment. Isabelle didn't even know that the clave could do that to them.. well until they did it.

And what are inactive shadowhunters supposed to do? Of course go to a mundane school. Not as a punishment, but to lose their snobbish attitude towards mundanes. Bullshit was what Isabelle thought.

After Isabelle had taken a shower she stood in front of her closet and decided she needed to go shopping. Somehow she figured it wouldn't be exactly appropriate to wear extremely short dresses or leather pants to a mundane school. For now the leather pants would have to do.

She put them and a dark blue tank top on. Everybody would be able to see her runes, but she just couldn't bring herself to care.

Her Hair was up in a tight ponytail and she had put some make up on.

With another sigh she put her hunting boots on. It was either them or some killer heels. I really need to go shopping!

With a small smirk she put her whip on as a bracelet and a leather jacket and went to meet her brothers.

When the three Lightwoods entered the mundane high school everybody started staring. Izzy was flanked by her brothers and stared straight ahead.

She didn't want to make friends, in fact she wanted to keep the interaction with the mundanes to a minimum.

Jace was grinning, as always. He seemed to be rather entertained by the idea of attending school.

Alec also wore a small smile. It was still a mystery to her why her brothers hadn't been appalled by the claves order.

When they arrived at Izzy's classroom Jace pinched her cheek."Cheer up, it's gonna be fun!" "You're right! At least I get a break from the two of you!" she could hear Jace laughing when she turned on her heel and headed for a table in the back of the room.

Of course she didn't mean that, in fact she secretly wished to be in the same class as her brothers but she would never admit that.

She successfully kept the mundanes from taking the seat next to hers by glaring at them until they walked by.

When the bell rang and every seat except the one next to hers was taken she leaned back with a satisfied smirk on her face. This isn't too bad.

Just when she though this day started to be bearable a tiny dark red-haired(obviously dyed) girl came rushing through the door. And it really didn't help to glare at her when she walked in Izzys direction but she did it anyways.

The redhead put her stuff down and glanced at Isabelle who looked like she would explode any second.

At lunchtime rushed outside to meet her brothers who were already seated at a table.

"This is horrible!"she exclaimed."The teachers really need to get their facts straight! They are so wrong about history! And the students are even worse. They are staring at me all the time and some of them even try to make conversation. As if I would like to talk to them!"

"You know that that's why we're here right? This kind of behavior is exactly why they sent us to a mundane school. We're supposed to make friends and prove to the clave that we don't think we're better than mundanes." Alec responded calmly while Jace winked at some giggling girls.

"So you're saying this is my fault?" she scoffed and got up. "No! I'm just saying we should at least try to-" "Save it!" she scoffed and threw some fries along with a death glare at Jace who was still grinning at some girls before storming off.

Isabelle knew very well that her reaction was childish and not really accounted for but she just needed to let some of the anger out. Now that she was on her own she felt a bit silly.

She wandered around for a bit before she found herself in the girls bathroom. Staring at her reflection in the mirror she waited until the bell rang again and she was left alone in the room.

Thoughtfully she looked at herself. Really looked. She never thought she'd see herself so lonely. Slowly she raised her hands and undid her Ponytail. Her long ink-black hair fell down and somehow she suddenly looked softer. More mundane.

She couldn't imagine not being a shadowhunter. Sometimes she wondered what it would be like to grow up among mundanes, without a clue about what was really going on in the world. But she just couldn't imagine it. She loved her life, she loved adrenalin rush she gets while hunting, she loved the exercise, she loved being forced to live in the moment. She loved all of it. And she definitely wouldn't give it up, not for anything and especially not for a life like this.

Her thoughts were interrupted when a certain red-haired girl practically fell through the door. Without thinking about it she grabbed her and prevented her from falling.

"Careful there!" The girl just looked at her in a bit of awe but didn't move away. Isabelle recognized her as the girl who had been seated next to her this morning. Maybe she hit her head or something. "You know you're not falling anymore, you can actually quit clawing my arm now." She told her slightly amused.

The girl who was still staring at her, looked down at her hands and suddenly let go. "Oh sorry! I'm Em..-" she started to say, but Izzy was out the door before she could even finish.
