Jace's POV
We fought our way threw the swooning girls, and guys to make our way towards the office. And let me tell you, I swear my ass got groped at least five times.
We drew attention to us wherever we went. We were the new kids. And in a small town like Forks, with one high school, everyone knew everything. No secret keeping in this place.
The office was fairly close to where we were parked, thank God. Inside, it was warm and had a hint of old people smell wafting around the small office. There was a small desk that separated us from the old woman with grey air that sat at the desk, and some closed doors on the opposite wall.
Alec, being the oldest, stepped up to the desk and said, "Uh, excuse me Miss," The lady looked up from the stack of paper she was sorting. "We're new here and we were wondering if you could show us pour schedule and possibly a map and a border line of the rules?"
"Right. Right, the Lightwoods yes?" She said standing up. She walked over to a little metal filing cabinet thing, opened the top drawer and sorted threw the papers.
"Yes, that would be us." Alec said. The woman pulled out three stapled packages. Shutting the drawer, she turned back to us, and sat back at the desk. She looked at the label on the first package through the spectacles dangling off her nose.
"Isabelle Lightwood?" She said looking up. Isabelle raised her hand slightly and said "Yes that's me." She stepped forward and grabbed the package with a small smile.
"Alec Lightwood?" She looked between Alec and I. He stepped forward and grabbed the package. "So you must be," She started to say pausing to look down at my name. "Jonathon Lightwood?"
"Jace." I said with a slight smile taking my package from her.
She smiled at us and started to say, "The first few pages are just some rules and papers your parents need to sign. Next you'll find your class schedule and a map of the school, the different buildings and such. I find that map confusing so you might want to go to one of the students in your homeroom. Each of you are in a separate homeroom so I can point out some students that have homeroom with you and have a lot of your classes with you. You can just ask them to show you a rough idea of where your next class is and hey you might even become friends!
"The kids walk by here when they head to their homeroom class so I can point out your 'guides' as they walk by." The woman got up andwalked around the desk to stand with us as we watched out the window.
"Isabelle, I'll assign you with Simon Lewis. He's top in that homeroom and he's a good kid." We waited in silence for about 20 seconds before a scrawny kid with black hair and glasses walked by laughing at something a girl with tan skin and brown hair that was braided into two braids had said.
"There he is!" She said. I caught Isabelle muttering something along the lines of 'No wonder he's top of the class.' She thanked the woman and hurried out to catch the boy. When she tapped him on the shoulder, the expression of his face was priceless, and Alec and I had to smother a laugh.
Two minutes later, the woman pointed into the crowd again. "And that's Magnus Bane, who is also top of his homeroom. He's a good kid but his looks are… Well deceiving." We looked out to see a tall and skinny boy the same age as Alec. His black hair was spiked and laced with glitter. Unlike the raincoats the rest of the student body wore, He had a long purple dress coat that was also glittery. His black pants were skinny and his paint splattered neon green shirt stood out.
I swore I heard Alec squeak. I couldn't blame him, his eyes almost looked like they belonged to a cat. This Magnus Bane person was walking with a similar boy who wasn't as tall but just as slim. He wasn't dressed as wildly and didn't wear any glitter either.
The woman must have read my mind because she said, "He's walking with Ragnor Fell, who is also near the top of your new homeroom." I could hear Alec gulp loudly.
"Well go on now, the bell is about to ring." She practically pushed Alec out the door. He stumbled for a couple steps before he made his way, very slowly, towards Magnus. As he arrived, I assumed he cleared his throat to get his attention. The minute Magnus saw him, his eyes glinted with mischief. After about 10 seconds of Alec's infamous rambling, Magnus linked arms with him and towed him along with him and Ragnor, all the while talking away looking very happy. Alec, on the other hand look petrefied. His eyes were darting around and finally met mine. He mouthed 'Help' at me but I just smiled and winked. He gave me the finger.
"Aha!" The lady cried after another minute. I looked over at her with one eyebrow cocked. "There, is your guide." She said pointing out. And there, before her finger, was the redhead from earlier. "Her name is Clarissa Morgenstern. She goes by either Clary Fairchild or Fray. Can't keep up to date with her last names. She's the top of her grade, and probably the nicest girl in her grade too, if not the school. There's only one person in the school who has a better record than her. Jasper Hale, he's in the twelfth grade though. Her boyfriend, Edward Cullen, is the second best in your grade." Sure enough the boy that was glaring at me before was now kissing her on her cheek. With a last wave they headed off in different directions. Clary was now walking towards the office.
The lady looked confused for a second before she had an expression of realization. She rushed off to her desk and grabbed a sheet of paper that was on set aside from the others. She came back to stand next to me.
Clary opened the door and walked in. Her eyes went from the lady to me. Our gaze met and held before she blushed and looked away.
"Good morning Clary! How are you?" The woman greeted her.
"Good morning Miss! I'm good, a little tired is all. How are you?"
"Very much the same. I think the first day of school has that affect on everyone." She said with a chuckle. Clary smiled along with her. She as a nice smile, I thought before I stopped myself.
"Here's your class schedule that you asked for." She handed Clary the sheet of paper.
"Thanks Miss, better go before I'm late. Wouldn't want to start my year off on a bad foot." She turned to head out the door before she was stopped.
"Oh Clary," She started to say. Clary stopped and turned. "Jace here is new and he's in your homeroom, do you think you could show him around?" Clary's eyes darted from the woman's to me to the lady back to me again.
"Yeah I guess so." She said. Clary walked fully outside and stood back, holding the door out for me.
"Thanks for all the help Miss." I said as I walked out the door. Clary let the door fall shut behind me. We walked in silence for a moment before she asked, "So where'd you move from?"
"New York City. My dad got a better job offer here, and well here I am."
"Oh. I hear it's supposed to have lots of show lights and stuff in New York. Must be a big change eh?"
"Yeah they do. But my stunning looks give off the most light. So as long as I have a mirror I can always feel at home." I said with a smile. She just rolled her eyes. We had now arrived at our homeroom. I opened the door and stepped aside, and said, "Ladies first." I smiled and she gave a small smile, walking inside the room. I followed in pursuit, and hung up my coat as she did. She headed to the back of the class and sat down.
"May I have the pleasure?" I asked raising an eyebrow, motioning to the seat beside her.
"Go ahead, but I don't think there'll be enough room for you and your ego." She mumbled. I grimaced and sat down.
And I thought she was like any other girl. This was going to be harder than I thought.
Yay =) This one's shorter than last but you should be happy you got a chapter =P
