A/N: Okay, this time I totally messed up with the update date. I'm SO sorry! - I don't have a nice excuse and my motives are very simple, writer's block and the start of my last year of high school. All this pressure is killing me, also I had some personal problems which let me in a depressive estate in the past few weeks. But, after all the problems I'm back guys! - Also, I'm advising that this chapter may have more grammatical mistakes than the usual due to the fact I've been writing in class (who needs to know linear algebra anyway? I want to be a writer!).

Also, I haven't had the time I nomally use to answer the Reviews, so first of all : Thank you everyone! I love to read your comments 3 - Second: No, no one guessed right who the mysterious person is. I don't want to change the characters age that much (just if it helps with the storyline) and Alec is two years older than Simon or Clary.

Hope you like the chapter.

Chapter 6 – Some people that I should remember – part 2

The door flew open with a thud and a guy with bored look entered. Most of the other classmates didn't seem surprised. The boy had fair blonde hair and vivid green eyes, it was probably the "don't mess with" kind of person.

"Morgenstern, to which we own the pleasure ?"

"Hey teacher, how is it going(¿)"

"The first half of the class was nice, we were talking about Shakespearean sonnets."

"interesting."

"Well, you should remember this the next time you decide oversleep." he teased "Now go sit behind Lightwood." Michael pointed to the empty seat and continued his lesson.

"Hey, fresh meat!" the boy said mockingly to me.

"Cut off Seb." answered Aline with an bored glare. His features changed into a smile and suddenly he didn't looked like a jerk anymore.

"Sorry about that, name is Sebastian Morgenstern." he greeted me with a strong handshake.

"Alec Lightwood." Sebastian seemed slightly thoughtful.

"Sorry, but did you used to live down the street with a blonde boy and a pretty girl?"

Oh shit! I was almost sure there wasn't another Alec Lightwood with a blonde brother and a 'pretty?' sister. This would be a problem.

"Yes, I guess."

"Uou that's nice! My li'l sister was friend with yours. How is she doing?"

"Fine, Isabelle is here too."

"Clary is going to be ecstatic." he added more to himself and then smiled teasingly "I see I'll have problems with you pal."

"What?"

"No, I mean, you had grown up a lot and this English accent of yours will make a huge success with the girls." Aline chuckled at my face, I was really not expecting this kind of comment, in fact, I didn't understand what he was implying.

"Sure he will." She added and then both started laughing until professor Michael (better call him like that in school) literally told them to shut up.

"Sebastian should be glad you don't have any superpowers." Malcolm said to Magnus who was glaring at the two boys chatting some seats ahead.

"What?"

"Well you look like you want to burn him alive at this moment." He noted without looking up from the blackboard. Malcolm knew about Sebastian and Magnus's relationship, they get along well, until the subject changed to popularity. Both could be very competitive.

"I don't have any problems with Morgenstern." He answered in an annoyed tone "I just don't want this prima donna luring Alec's mind."

"Ha! So you do know him!"

"Oh, be quiet and pay attention to your sonnets."

"Uh, someone's in a cranky mood today." he said smiling. Something you could say about Malcolm Fade was that he never looked sad, he was always with a childlike glee and people would often tag his as totally harmless. "Besides, you are the prima donna here Magnus."

Geez, this first day of class was making me very tired. And it was just lunch time.

Sebastian and Aline had classes with me in two of the six periods. Meanwhile I also met Aline's girlfriend Helen Blackthorn and her brother Mark, the two were very alike, with fair blonde hair, but she has greenish-blue eyes and he has different colors in the two eyes (something called heterochromia if I recall).

The school cafeteria was crowded with students of the high school. It was loud, luckily I skipped my 'friends' for a while before we went to lunch to took one of my headache pills. There were lots of full tables and, I guess, my siblings one would also be – I didn't have to know them to notice they are the popular type.

"Alec, will you have lunch with us?" Helen asked.

"Thanks, but I think I'm going to find my siblings."

I got my tray, with the suspicious thing it should be meatloaf and some weird looking salad - Nice! – It didn't took long to find Isabelle.

"Alec! We are here!"

There was just one seat left in their table, the other two were held by a nerd boy with huge glasses and a shaggy brown hair, and a redheaded girl. I almost fell when the girl attacked me with a massive hug, her green eyes full of excitement. I sent a discreet glance at Jace, asking for help.

"Bro, do you remember Clary and Simon?"

"Yeah" I answered in silent thanks "how are you doing?"

"Oh my God you are so tall! And what with this accent?!"

"God save the queen." added Simon.

"It's so awesome to see you guys again!" She said "So, tell us, how was England?"

"Nice." I said, mentally facepalming myself.

"So serious bro." Jace mocked with a smirk.

"Besides, we want to know everything that happened here too." added Isabelle.

They kept chatting, about the old times and the new. Jace and Isabelle were reserved when talking about our home back in London. At least, Clary and Simon didn't seem to notice that, they were talking excitedly (well, she was) about this Pandemonium club and the awesome parties you could go. Besides liking parties, Clary was the one who wanted to be an artist, and Simon, with his nerd look, has a band.

I couldn't help but notice how Jace was staring to Clary, so concentrated I don't even think he was listening. Funny. Isabelle was laughing and her eyes sparkled with joy. After all, I guess this is the first time in months they are having real fun, they never told me what happened during the time I was unconscious. It was nice to see them so well.

On the other hand, I was not in the mood, thankfully I learned how to cover it. When the subject turned to our childhood or someone we should know I just pretended some interest and added "yes" or "no" at the right time.

"Oh, and Alec, how is it going your first day?"

"It's fine"

"Have you seen Magnus yet?"

What?!

"What?!" my siblings said "You still hang out?"

"Kind of, his mother is friend of my parents." she shrugged " We often see each other, besides, he's a senior here."

"Have you seen him Alec?" Jace asked, smiling, but he looked unsure.

Yes I have.

"No, I don't think so."

They were talking, but I wasn't paying attention anymore, instead I turned to the other side of the refectory where Magnus and his friends were chatting and having fun. As before, our eyes met. He seemed surprise for a moment but rapidly regained his pose and winked. I felt my face burn and turned my face back to the plate before anyone noticed. Who the hell is this guy?

"Excuse me" I interrupted Simon in the middle of a discussion about a sci-fi movie "but I need to get going, I have to pick up some stuff in my locker."

Isabelle sent me that look which means "We need to talk", and I tried to reassure her everything was fine. (Everything besides the fact I was confused as hell about all this, of course.)

The corridor was empty, after the noisy lunch, I was grateful for this moment of peaceful silence. Also, I realized I'm not a fan of crowded places.

After Alec left the refectory, Isabelle went after him. She knew him too well to see there was something wrong and, she would not admit, but this new behavior of her brother worried her. Alec was never a talkative guy, but after he woke up he became distant and seemed always about to have a panic attack.

Isabelle was so lost in thoughts she bumped in someone who was standing in front of the door.

"Sorry I…"

"Isabelle?"

The guy was looking at her in surprise. He was slim and tall, with dark hair spiked and glittered. He wore colorful and awesome clothes, also make up which accentuated his eyes. She would not have recognized him if it wasn't for his golden green eyes and slight accent.

"Oh my God you are gorgeous!" both said in unison.

They stared at each other before Magnus started to laugh and Isabelle jumped into his embrace.

"You're so grown up, I'm feeling old."

"Shut up! You're just two years older" she snapped "But I need to admit you are very different too."

"Is this a compliment?" Magnus grinned "By the way, your dress is beautiful." He added gesturing to her black summer dress, simple but stylish.

"Thank you! I loved your boots."

"And if you don't mind me asking, what are you Lightwoods doing back in New York?"

"We needed a change of scenery, London is cool, but we missed here." She was not lying, they missed New York a lot. Isabelle's thoughts were running, she needed to talk to Alec about some things, one of it was Magnus. I bet my parents never thought everyone would still be here. "I wanted to talk more, but I need to find my brother. Haven't you seen him?"

"Just in class, we have english and math together. But I think he didn't recognize me." He pouted.

"And who is to blame?" she mockingly raised her eyebrows.

"Right" he chuckled " Tell Alec I want to talk to him, will you?"

"Yes." Isabelle was almost leaving but remembered "Here's my cellphone number" she gave him a piece of paper "Bye."

"See you another time Izzy."

It's been a while since the last time someone called her like that besides Jace. She sighed and sent a message to her brother.

From: Isabelle

To: Alec

Where are U?

A few moments later she got the answer.

From: Alec

To: Isabelle

M. bathroom – feeling a bit tired.

Isabelle thought about asking if he was okay, but since she knew he would say "yes" she didn't bothered to ask.

From: Isabelle

To: Alec

We need to talk ltr ok?

It's important.

He didn't replied this time, but she knew he had read it.

"This is going to be a long year." She said to no one in particular.

Hey there! Enjoyed the chapter?

This chapter I tried to show more of how the whole situation is affecting Isabelle and Jace.

Lots of dear characters showing up too. Yes it was Sebastian (I wanted to write him as the "good Seb" Clary saw in her dream in CoHF). I want Alec to have a nice circle of friends and I guess Aline, Helen and Mark will do the task (I love them). And we can't forget Clary and Simon!

Also, I know some of you want to kill me because Magnus and Alec haven't talked yet... well I like slow burn romance (besides it's just for a while, don't worry) and you need to think about Alec's situation. His life is a little bit messed up now. But again, don't worry.

This time I won't say when the next chapter will be updated, just I'll try to write it as soon as possible.

Thanks for reading! Please review, follow and favorite!

See ya o/
