Jace POV

"Math class, how wonderful." I said to Izzy as we walked to class.

"It's not that bad Jace, at least it's not English." She said.

"True, English sucks a lot." I responded. We walked into the math classroom and depression washed over me. I mean, the teacher was so slow at teaching. Whenever Clary saw our math homework she would say she did that stuff back in kindergarten.

I took my seat which was next to this girl named Sarah. I only knew that because we had to do many partner assignments. Izzy sat in the row in front of me.

"Alright let us begin with a group assignment." The math teacher said. Needless to say that statement was followed with many groans.

"Groups are as follows..Conner, Sarah, Emily and Josh. Jace, Lucas, Isabelle and Kara…." The math teacher continued. At least I was in a group with Izzy so it wasn't just the annoying classmates.

"Okay well we have to create a short presentation on how to use this formula." Kara said pointing to the paper. We decided on doing a poster. We got out a large sheet of paper. Then the very annoying phone began to ring.

"Ummm Okay. Kara your parents are here to get you. Just get your group to go over what they did on Monday." The teacher said.

"Okay!" Kara replied.

"Alright, well see you guys." Kara said getting her stuff. Great, now we were stuck with just Lucas.

"Ugh, come on let's just start." I said after Lucas and I had been arguing.

"Yes, lets please do that." Izzy said.

"Jace..can you come up here please." The math teacher said calling me over to her desk.

"Yeah.." I responded when I got there.

"Yes, well I just wanted to discuss your grades since we are starting to do report cards." The teacher said. That began the 10 minute discussion on how I should work harder and what not. When that was finally over and I walked back over to my group.

"Can you just stop being such a bitch about this!" I heard Lucas say to Izzy.

"I'm really not, I'm just explaining the formula to you." Izzy said back. That's my sister. I sat down to hear the rest of this conversation.

"Okay, but you don't need to be so rude. Like I get the formula." He said.

"You don't though, you said it involved addition when it clearly doesn't." Izzy said. Even I knew how to do the formula and I barely tried at math.

"That's addition!" Lucas started pointing to the formula.

"It's a square root sign!" Izzy said. My god, this guy wasn't very smart.

"NO IT ISN'T! STOP BEING STUPID!" Lucas yelled while getting too close to Izzy.

"OK! That's enough buddy." I said pushing Lucas away a bit.

"THAT'S ENOUGH, ALL THREE OF YOU TO THE MAIN OFFICE. NOW!" The math teacher yelled. We quickly got up and out of the room and went downstairs. Right before we left I heard her call the office on the classroom phone. The walk downstairs was awkward, Lucas was as far away from us as possible.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked Izzy.

"Yeah...you know Alec is gonna kill us." Izzy responded. I nodded, just realizing that fact.

"Do you think this is worse than the door thing?" I asked.

"Definitely, I mean this affects our academic track record at the school. The door just annoyed the super attendant." Izzy replied. We chuckled lightly.

"You must be Jonathan Herondale, Isabelle Lopez and Lucas Jefferson." The person sitting at the office desk said. We all nodded and she motioned for us to take a seat. We waited for what felt like an eternity. I looked at the time and realized that our class would be going to French. Which meant there was an hour until school got out. That also meant that we had an hour to figure out how to break the news to Alec.

The principals assistant, Veronica, was standing at the filing cabinet. I kept looking over at her. She was acting fairly normal that day.

"Why the heck are 12th graders getting into stupid arguments in math class!" The principal stated when he finally came to talk to us.

"I was not involved at all." Lucas said. Izzy and I death glared at him.

"Lucas began the argument." I said.

"Okay, please describe exactly what happened." The principal said.

"Well I was just explaining the formula to Lucas and he started arguing about it." Izzy said.

"Because she was being very rude to me and degrading my math abilities." Lucas stated. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Is that really appropriate Jonathan?" The principal asked. I shook my head and apologized. Lucas and Isabelle argued about who said what for a bit.

"Enough! So Johnathan what did you say?" The principal asked.

"Oh well I just defended my sister...sisterly friend when the fight got to be a bit too much." Close call there. The principal pretty much just told us to never do another thing like that again. And she said we needed to wait until the end of the day when a guardian would come to pick us up. Lucas' mom came to get him shortly after.

Izzy and I had to wait until the end of school so Alec could come get us. That was a painful 30 minutes. Once the bell rang I texted Alec to come to the office.

"What did you do?" Alec asked as he came in.

"Oh is this your guardian?" The desk person asked.

"Uh yeah he is our cousin." I responded. Alec talked to the office for a bit about our behaviour.

"I'm going to kill you both." Alec growled under his breath. We ended up not attending our clubs today and just heading straight home. The drive was so awkward and Clary kept asking what was up.

"No, seriously though, what happened?" Clary asked once we got in the elevator.

"Oh you know my stupid siblings got into a fight in math class." Alec finally responded.

"Oh really…" Clary said trying not to laugh.

"Yup, not a big deal let's move on." I said. We got inside the apartment and Alec went to his room right away. He said he didn't want to deal with us anymore. Lydia came over and we told her and Clary what went down.

We knew we would laugh at this in a couple weeks. We had a very quiet dinner of some salad. Alec was really mad at us. Later that night Izzy and went to his room.

"Alec, just yell at us to get this over with." Izzy said after we had sat in silence for almost fifteen minutes.

"I don't want to yell at you." Alec said.

"You sure about that?" I asked.

"I do, but I don't feel like I should. I mean you guys do stupid stuff all the time to the point where I shouldn't have to tell you that you're being stupid. I mean when we first came here I thought I'd have to worry about Clary's actions but no, you guys are the ones who constantly mess up." Alec said.

"We're sorry okay...its just Lucas was getting on my nerves. A simple argument just got a little out of hand." Izzy said.

"I forgive you. But I swear to god if something like this happens again…" Alec said. We nodded and promised to never do something like that again.

I went to bed that night knowing that I would probably mess up again soon, since that was just my personality.
