Mission Mundane
Chapter two
Alice Chiroptera
Once the shadowhunters and vampire had navigated their way to their lockers Alec began to explain the plan.
"Okay. Mum said that the girl we are looking for goes by the name Alice Chiroptera," He looked around quickly to check if the corridor was still empty. "Izzy, Simon and I are in her Maths class first, than mum said the clave has organised for Clary, Jace and Simon to be in her art class after that"
Once everyone was sorted Clary and Jace parted ways with the group to find their way through the halls to their own class. They stopped outside an old wooden door. Jace looked towards Clary a look of utter dread splashing across his features.
"Do we have to go in?" He leant against the stained wall beside the door and folded his tanned arms across his chest. Clary laughed and sighed in amusement.
"Jace, you're a demon hunter for living. I think you can handle a few babbling kids" Clary teased. He smirked and replied.
"Yes, but we have fought wars, conquered evil and saved the world countless times," he said dramatically whilst remaining on the wall. Then added blandly "And now were stuck in a Mundane school. Don't you think it's a bit down grading?" Clary shook her head and laughed at his usual attitude.
"Jace, it's high school. Not prison." And with that she smiled and twisted the brass door knob, slipping inside Jace hot on her heals.
Isabelle and Simon followed Alec down the warn corridors and past dozens of orange doors, each with brass numbers etched into the wood.
Alec stopped at a door and looked over his shoulder at the other two behind him. "This is it," he said whilst they caught up with him.
They all looked at each other awkwardly for a second until Alec continued in a hushed voice "Once we are inside try to keep a low profile and keep an eye out for Alice," Everyone nodded. "If you get the chance to speak to her try to act casual, Okay?" he said, aiming the last sentence at his sister.
"What?" she said innocently "I can fit in" Alec just shook his head, chuckling softly and opened the old door, letting Simon and Isabelle walk in before stepping in himself and closing the door behind him.
The small room was dimly lit and had a large oak desk positioned at the front of the room. The room was packed with students chatting loudly and sitting sloppily on each other's desks. Alec closed the door firmly and almost every head turned their way.
"Best we find a seat soon," Simon whispered under his breath so no one other than Isabelle and Alec could hear "If we keep standing here we will draw too much attention to ourselves." Isabelle replied under her breath as well.
"I think we already have too much attention." Simon turned his head to look at her.
"Trust me I know more about Mundanes than you, act like you don't notice them and they won't notice you," Then he added as an afterthought "Although neither of you look very much like a normal mundane so you may have to try a bit harder."
Simon led the way to a spare desk and slumped down into the plastic chair, Isabelle and Alec following his lead. Isabelle sat at a spare desk in front of him and Alec sat at a desk two seats over from Isabelle.
Isabelle was sitting up straight looking at her nails. Most people would think she looked confident but Simon knew hidden under her relaxed exterior she was feeling uneasy. Simon ripped a sheet of paper out of his text book and wrote a short note, then quickly scrunched it into a paper ball and threw it onto the desk in front of him.
Isabelle looked up and read the note, planting a beautiful grin across her face as she looked up from the crumpled sheet of paper and turned around to look at Simon. He gave her a reassuring smile and couldn't help noticing the other boys around Isabelle's desk watching them.
Isabelle wrote a short note back and threw it over her shoulder, landing in the centre of Simon's desk. Simon smiled at her and would have written something back if not for the sudden thud of a door slamming shut. The room suddenly fell silent. Isabelle and Alec both looked at the old woman standing in the door way with curiosity.
Simon looked at the short woman with the hunched back and grey streaked hair "good morning class," she introduced herself whilst stumbling down the centre aisle of tables and stopped at the front of the room, in front of the dusty black board. Her voice was a soft chalky sound and Simon was reminded of his grandmother in a way. "I am Mrs Patella. I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and are ready to get back to work. Shall we begin?"
She sat in the old leather chair behind the oak desk and began to sort through her sheets.
She burrowed through her pile of books and pulled out a stack of sheets, then began to hand them out to the class. Walking down the aisles and slipping a paper onto every desk. Simon looked at the piece of paper in front of him and read the contents.
Mrs Patella stood at the front of the class room and scanned her eyes over the students "I should hope there will be no speaking during this lesson. I have given you all a sheet to do and I expect it to be finished in half an hour."
Simon looked at Isabelle and Alec, who were both reading through the sheet of equations then began them himself.
Ten minutes later an object flew onto Simons desk and he looked up to see Isabelle leaning on the back of her chair in front of him.
"Hey," She said in a whisper so soft Simon was sure if he wasn't a vampire he wouldn't have heard it "Alec told me that he thinks the girl beside you is Alice," She darted her eyes to the desk beside him then quickly reverted them back to his face "I can't talk to her she is too far away and neither can Alec. Could you talk to her, ask her name and make some excuse or something?"
"Uh yes, sure," He replied turning his eyes to see a girl with light blond hair and soft blue eyes sitting at a desk beside him. Then looked back at Isabelle
Isabelle smiled and turned back around in her seat. Leaving Simon to speak to Alice.
He leaned over the small gap between their desks and introduced himself as casually as he could.
"Hey. I'm Simon," He smiled. She turned around in her seat and looked at him with a pleasant smile.
"Oh hello," She replied kindly. Simon thought up an excuse quickly and looked at her face.
"I was wondering whether I could borrow your eraser for a moment." Simon asked innocently. She nodded her head in reply and reached over her table to pick up her eraser from beside her pencil case.
"My names Alice, Alice Chiroptera" she said whilst handing him her eraser, Simon took it gratefully.
"Nice to meet you Alice,"
"Are you new?" she asked curiously "I didn't think we had any new kids coming in this year, usually the teachers tell us." Simon froze for a second then before she became suspicious he replied
"Yes, we only just moved here," She nodded her head and smiled.
AND A GIANT SQUIRREL CAME AND ATE THEM ALL…
