A/N: So sorry it took so long to update for so little action, however I think it's a cute chapter. Anyway the next chapter will be much more actiony, I promise. As always reviews would be kindly appreciated!

Alec woke up half an hour before his family like usual. He sat up in bed but was immediately shoved back into the mattress from the pain lancing through his side. This was going to be an uncomfortable day. Alec made for his bathroom and tended his wounds. He took a scalding hot shower then perfected his indifferent face. He then went about the task of awakening the rest of his siblings. When he arrived at the guest bedroom he was astounded to see Magnus was already awake and he looked perfect. He had light gold eyeliner on to bring out the gold in his eyes. His hair was arranged to swoop ever so perfectly and his caramel skin was positively glowing. He had on a rather tightly fitted shirt with skinny jeans that Alec doubted his father would approve of, but he might be okay since he is new. Alec figured he would just talk to Magnus about it later. Besides it looked fantastic on him.

"Good morning Alec." Magnus said sweetly. "Are you ready for a most interesting day?"

"Uh...What do you mean?" Alec asked nervously.

"I mean that it's my first day of school." Magnus responded with one eyebrow raised.

"Oh of course." Alec said flushing lightly. Magnus grinned but didn't say anything to his darling in distress. Alec shook his head to clear distracting thoughts away. He moved on to awaken the rest of his family. Eventually everyone was prepared for school. Alec drove in his silver camero. Izzy owned her own candy apple red mustang and Jace had a blue jeep, however they generally car-pooled to school. As they drove, Magnus noted changes in demeanor. Izzy removed her jacket to reveal a plunging neckline and fixed her hair from a tight bun to a flowing mane of inky black silk. Jace relaxed and actually put his feet up on the dashboard. Everyone took a deep breath of freedom, except for Alec. He scowled when Jace put his feet up, but decided to let it go.

The Lightwood family pulled up to Idris Prepatory Academy, still a bit early. "Okay I will see you all at 5, don't be late!" Alec called after his disappearing siblings. Soon it was just Magnus and him left by the car. "Come on, I'll take you to the main office so you can get your schedule." Alec started off towards the airy campus. After several twists and turns they reached a lovely building with a sign hung over the door stating main office just like the old inns. The pair walked in to find a room full of light with a friendly looking woman with blonde hair sitting and typing away happily. "Excuse me." Alec said politely.

"Alexander Lightwood! What a surprise to see you. And who is this with you?" The woman asked.

"This is Magnus. He is staying with my family for the time being and is starting school here." Alec answered for Magnus.

"I see. Well I suppose we will just put him in the same classes as you so you can make sure he gets to where he needs to go." She exclaimed happily.

"Great. Come on Magnus we don't want to be late for class." Alec said briskly. Alec began walking off to another building.

"So whats our first class?" Magnus asked lightly.

"First we have AP English, then we go to gym class. After that is creative writing and lunch. The final class of the day is AP Algebra." Alec recited.

"You only have four classes in the day?" Magnus asked confused.

"Yeah we have block scheduling here so when the semester changes we will get an entirely new set of classes."

"Oh. Well that's going to be different." Magnus said quietly.

After an entirely confusing walk they arrived at the appointed classroom. Alec made a bee line for the middle of the room and picked a seat, Magnus sat right next to him. Alec quickly filled Magnus in that they were currently studying poetry. Other students began to filter in. They all appeared incredibly snooty in Magnus' opinion.

A pretty red headed girl sat on the other side of Alec and leaned forward. "Hey Alec who's your friend?"

"This is Magnus. Magnus this is Clary Morganstern."

"Hello." Magnus said quietly studying her. She had a very down to earth style. Ripped jeans, an olive green t-shirt with an artistic looking vest. The shirt matched her eyes wonderfully. Clary looked like she was about to continue the conversation when their teacher walked in. He was an older man with a very knowledgeable look in his eyes.

"My name is Mr. Starkweather. I say this because we have a new student in our class. Magnus is it?" the teacher said.

"Here." Magnus said raising his hand.

"Ah yes. Well Magnus we are currently working on Emily Dickinson and Macbeth. If you need any help feel free to ask any of your class mates." Mr. Starkweather said kindly.

The class was rather easy for Magnus because he had already read Macbeth. It was one of his favorite Shakespearean plays. Dickinson was a whole other story but Alec seemed to have an affinity for the morbid poems and helped clarify anything he didn't understand. The class worked quite differently than a normal school. The students were free to work on their own pace or in a group. The teacher floated about the room making sure people stayed on task and clarified any questions. Magnus actually liked the accountability of the individual instead of the boring normal class room. After class, Magnus was able to converse more with Clary. He found that she was a rather enjoyable spitfire. She didn't seem like most of these other snobs and could easily see why Alec and her were friends. Clary left them when they got to the gym.

Alec, it turns out, was very good at soccer. Magnus was coordinated enough not to get killed while playing but not nearly as good as Alec was. Jace was also in the class, but he was on the opposing team. Many times Alec and Jace toppled over each other to crash hard into the ground then erupt in giggles. After gym was over, Alec and Magnus went to creative writing. This was a class that Magnus wanted to go to. Not because he wanted to write, he wanted to see Alec in his element. The class was simply given a prompt and told to turn the paper in the next day. Today's prompt was to write a short story about your favorite person. Magnus immediately knew he wanted to write something about Alec, however Magnus wasn't great at creative writing. A half an hour later, Magnus was still staring at his blank page. He glanced over at Alec who was furiously writing with the most adorable crinkle in eyebrows. He looked like he was on his 8th page. Magnus loved the way he could loose himself in the writing, then it dawned on him that he could write about that.

Lunch came about, Magnus and Alec got their gourmet food and sat down at a table full of people. At the table, Jace and Clary sat very close together. They were obviously dating to Magnus. Izzy and some other boy were also obviously dating. The boy had short brown hair, glasses and an extremely nerdy tee shirt. Alec must have been the fifth wheel. Well Magnus was just going to have to see what he could do about that, Alec's father be damned.

"Magnus this is Simon." Alec said indicating the the nerdy boy next to Izzy.

"Hello Simon, I am Magnus Bane." Magnus said with his award winning smile.

"Uh hey. So you're new huh?" Simon said giving a shy smile on his own, of course in was no where near Magnus' beauty but it was still a nice jester.

"Magnus is actually staying with us." Izzy interjected with a smile, "Given his fashion tastes I think he is going to fit in perfectly with our family!" Magnus noticed a faint crease appear in Alec's perfect eyebrows. It was rather subtle and Magnus would have missed it completely if he hadn't been staring straight at Alec.

"Well thank you Izzy. I do try." Magnus said with a grin.

"Now if only you could impart some of your genius to Alec." Izzy said smacking Alec lightly on the back. Alec smiled at her but in his gorgeous blue eyes Magnus could see the internal screaming. Alec shuddered almost imperceptibly from the touch. It appears he hadn't told his family not to touch him.

Lunch ended quickly and everyone went their separate ways. Alec and Magnus headed to AP Algebra which was the most boring class to ever be, in Magnus' opinion. Still the day mercifully ended. Alec and Magnus were headed to Alec's locker.

"Um so everyone has an activity they are doing right now until 4:30 so I guess you can just hang out on the bleachers or in the locker room until Jace and I are finished with soccer practice." Alec said apologetically.

"That's alright darling. I'll go grab a book from the library and chill in the locker room." Magnus said with a heart stompingly beautiful smile.

Magnus went to the library and grabbed his favorite book without even thinking, A Mid Summer Night's Dream. He checked it out and went to the locker room's just to relax until Alec was done. Upon arrival Magnus found Alec's things just resting against a bench. Curiosity overcame Magnus and he looked in Alec's backpack for the story he was writing so viscously in class. He pulled it out and began to read it. It looked like Alec had decided to make the whole paper one huge metaphor instead of actually saying who he was describing. The language was all focused on a cat. What caught Magnus off guard was glittering golden eyes, much like his own. No Alexander couldn't have been describing Magnus could he. The more Magnus read the more he was certain that Alec had written the paper on him. This was a new development, he didn't think that Alec had taken a liking to him THAT much. Magnus was now certain that he had to do something to save his poor soul.
