Waking up and getting dressed. Esme shook her head to clear it and help herself wake up. Looking around her room for a shirt, Her room was a Soleil-Cream color with one accent wall that was painted Twilight Magenta, With a branches and birds design on the North Wall to the left of her bed -which was a Canopy with dark purple silk sheen curtains around it- and Budding Clematis design on the south purple wall that had her vanity against it. Her black carpet extra fluffy because she cleaned it everyday. Grabbing the shirt she was looking for from the bench seat by her windows that were covered in window stickers of butterflies and the walls around them covered in posters of her favorite animes, Ouran Highschool Host Club, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fate/Stay night, RWBY, and Bleach. Walking to her door Esme stops at her piano that her father bought for her on her thirteenth birthday and the violin that she got when she was five. The piano a smooth black and the viola a dark blue inside a black velvet case with a lilac colored cushion heart on top and the backpack straps folded neatly underneath it. She runs her hand along the top of the piano keys and gently pushes the heart on her viola case. She closes her door quietly as she finishes buttoning her shirt, which was black see through silk with a lace back that her blue tanktop could be see through.
When she walked into the kitchen Aria looked up and pushed a mug full of black coffee toward her across the counter. Ezra was shoveling scrambled eggs into his mouth and Clary, her mother, was eating toast with Nutella on it. Esme quickly grabbed a piece of her mother's toast and danced away from the counter-table. She stuck her tongue out and shoved the rest of the toast into her mouth before Clary could grab it. Jace looked up from the frying pan he had in front of him that had currently cooking eggs in it. He smiled and then laughed handing Esme a plate with 4 slices of toast loaded with Nutella. She swallowed the rest of her toast and smiled at her father grabbing the plate and sitting back down at the table drinking from her mug. Gabriel had joined them after Esme had finished two pieces of her toast, stealing one of her pieces and drinking some of his own coffee. After breakfast she was fully awake.
Her and Gabriel walked to the library and studied languages such as; French, Latin and Greek. Greek being the language they spoke when they didn't want anyone to know what they were saying. French just being for fun.
"Hello, I am a shadowhunter form the New York Institute, My name is Esme Herondale", Gabriel relayed to her having them go over the intros you were to use one last time.
"Bonjour, je suis former un Chassombre l'Institut de New York, Mon nom est Esme Herondale", said Esme repeating the words in French.
"Perfect!", Gabriel clapped and smiled, "Now me, what do you want me to say"?
"Bonjour, Mon nom est Gabriel Lewis et je suis un dork et un ballot de l'Institut de New York", Esme told him as she giggled
"Hello, My name is Gabriel Lewis and I'm a dork and a nerd from the New York Institute", He realized what she wanted him to say and then just looked at her his glasses crooked on his nose, "Really"?
"Yup", Esme laughed, "What time is it, It feels like we've been in here for hours".
Gabriel looked down at his watch,
"My watch says it 1:27", he told her looking up, "Wanna go eat some lunch"?
"Yeah", Esme said, "Let's do it".
They walked together down the hall and used the elevator to get to the first floor. They started walking towards the kitchen when Esme was knocked forward by a person jumping at her and circling their arms around her abdomen. Gabriel tried to grab her arm to steady her or break her fall whichever it was she didn't get to find out because her face connected with the floor and made a pain shoot up through her face and down her neck. The weight on her back was lifted as Gabriel moved whoever it was and grabbed her shoulders and helped her up. She turned around to find out who her "attacker" was and saw not just one person but eight people standing there. Alec and Magnus with Max Michael Bane-Lightwood who is five and Rafael Lightwood-Bane who is thirteen, Isabelle and Simon with their other and youngest child Alexandra who is ten.
"Sorry", said Max looking down at his feet, "I didn't mean to knock you over, I was just excited to see you"
"It's ok Max, I'm not mad", I said, picking him up and hugging him, "You should have called my name and then charged at me because, then I would have been ready for it", Esme laughed.
Max smiled at this and Esme put him down. Rafael and Alex hugged Esme next and then Alex hugged Gabriel.
"Let's go eat some lunch", I said to everyone, "Maybe dad ordered some chinese or brought home some Taki's, Race you?" Esme asked the kids.
"YEAH!", they yelled in unison.
They all took off down the hall their parents laughing after them. Surprisingly Max was the first one to get there Alex and Esme in second -Alex was on Esme's back- and Rafael and Gabriel wrestling each other for the place to go through the kitchen door first. Esme's mom and dad were in the kitchen with chinese food and coffee. All the kids sat down and started to eat and then the others walked in waving hello and seating themselves at the table. Izzy and Clary hugged, and Jace and Alec hugged and talked about Alec and Magnus's stay in Idris. The kids ended up talking about what they saw in Idris and how awesome they thought it was. Simon came over the kids and stood in between Esme and Gabriel's seats.
"So what did you two do while we were gone?", Gabriel's father looked young but he was a year older than Clary -would had been friends since they he was six, they were parabatai just like JAce and Alec- (Simon had, had a very rough life. First he was a vampire, then a Daylighter, then he was a human again and then a shadowhunter. All in just a couple years.)
"Nothing much, fighting demons, saving mundies", Esme summarized.
"Sleeping and eating and studying", Gabriel said shoveling noodles into his mouth.
Then Ezra and Aria walked in, Max launching himself at them. Rafael tried to grab him but he was already in the air. Ezra caught him and spun him around to absorb the impact so they wouldn't fall over.
"Lemme guess you fell over didn't you?", Ezra asked Esme looking over at her with a smirk.
"Yeah", Esme said then looked at Ezra,"Wait how did you know that?"
"Because he just acts without thinking and you always fall over he hugs you", Ezra said laughing.
Max had a huge grin on his face and he always lightened the mood. He was a super cute little boy who was was half fairy-half shadowhunter and the fairy blood showed itself through his skin color which was blue and that's why his nickname was Blueberry.
