I'm really really sorry for the really late update school has been hectic this term and even my social life has been put on hold. My life is currently revolving around work and school but procrastination got the better of me so now I'm here writing this instead of studying for my upcoming exams.

*Updated*

Clary's POV

The silence in the hallway was astonishing, no one was yet to wrap their heads around the thought of staying with the boys of Silver Oak, and we all knew their reputation, some of us better than others. Everyone was heading towards the storage room, in a state of shock, as we had to grab some boxes to pack up our rooms, we had to bring everything with us because the rooms were getting renovated and as of currently they were unsure how long the renovation would take at this point. Izzy and I had beaten the rush and we quickly went to our dorm to sort out everything into boxes and discuss what would happen to us when we arrived at lone oak.

"Today didn't go as I expected" I huffed out looking at Izzy with a half glum, half ecstatic look on my face. Glum because we were going to have to stay at Silver oak for God knows how long and ecstatic because no matter what my brother did I still love him and it's not like he hurt me or anything he just set the science labs on fire… on purpose and I can't wait to meet Izzy's brothers. She is my best friend and I've been to her house but the boys never come home for holidays and even though Izzy and I have been friends for just under three years I haven't ever met them. From what I've heard Alec seems really nice and Jace is… well from what Izzy has said Jace is something.

After about five minutes silence Izzy just turned to me and sighed "This is stupid we shouldn't have to stay with them. They are going to practically murder us. I've hears about the school and there is no one nice there. Everyone did something pretty bad to get in there" and I can't help but agree with Izzy though I don't say that.

"We'll be fine Izzy, I have Jon and you have Jace and Alec, we're practically already part of the family and anyway with the boys around they wouldn't dare touch a hair on our heads." And I realise that what I said was true as I turned up the music and tried to finish packing as quickly as I could.

Within 3 hours we had packed up our entire room, with very little chatter between the two of us, with the only thing left being everything we needed for that night, which we would pack in a carry bag tomorrow morning. We quickly made sure we looked presentable and made our way down to the dining hall curious about the chaos that had fallen over the school while we had been packing. Less than half the students were in attendance and it was already halfway through dinner, we could only guess that they still had to pack up their rooms, and the quiet chatter that usually permeated the room was non-existent.

Izzy and I walked up to the buffet, dishing ourselves up a mixture of roast beef, mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.

"I guess the Kitchen staff had to pack up their equipment as well" Izzy commented replicating what I was just thinking, we normally had much fancier food for every meal that came from that kitchen

"Well everyone is getting relocated, I hope the kitchen staff are coming with us" I replied with desperation. I don't know what they eat at Silver oak but from what I have heard it is nowhere near up to the standard of what we get here, and I mean NO where.

We sit down at our usual table and eat in silence. I finish before Izzy does and when she finishes we get up to take our plates to the wash bucket before heading back to our dorm room.

Along the way we pass lots of open doors with girls inside frantically throwing everything into boxes trying to finish before curfew so that we can leave on time tomorrow morning.

When we get back to our dorm we make sure that everything is packed up and that only the essentials will have to be thrown in to a bag the following morning and despite the early hour we have nothing better to do than climb into bed and sleep through till morning

Jace Pov

Walking down the graffiti covered halls looking for Jon or Alec, I listen in to the conversations of the other student. All they know about the Graceheights girls is that they wear short skirts and high heels, well some of them do. The boys have selected hearing and those who pay more attention to the rumour mill know that the Graceheights girls are not something you want to deal with. I on the other hand get my information for a first hand source both Izzy, my adoptive sister and Jon, my best friend have told me what goes on in that place.

"JON, ALEC" I yell when I spot them standing down the end of the hall with little Simon who is always around. Apparently he didn't do anything wrong and his parents thought this was a refinement school or something and sent him with Jon. Jon immediately turned at the sound of my voice trying to spot me in the crowd, he was hard to miss with his platinum blond hair and large build. I jog up to them and can tell they already know what question I'm going to ask before it comes out of my mouth. "So how do you feel about having your sister here?" Even though he is a year younger than me he is significantly more mature and is also in the same grade as me though I was kept down, He isn't smart enough to get bumped up a grade, I chuckle at the thought.

"This is not okay!" Jon exclaimed looking dejected "she is going to be killed or worse. Aren't you worried about your sister?!" I can see the same thoughts etched into Alec's face, they always did worry about things unnecessarily.

"Calm down Jon, nothing is gonna happen to them. The boys won't touch them when they find out they are our sisters we will make sure of that. Plus they already know enough about our school to understand what they can and can't do and we will just tell them who to look out for" I tried to comfort him but compassion was not my forte.

"I guess your right but we need to be the first things they see when they step off that bus in the morning. No one is going near my sister and we need to make it clear that they are strictly hands off."

I nodded in response completely agreeing with him. "Come on Jon I will help you clean out your room, you and Simon can bunk with me and Alec till the girls are gone. Then we can clear out your room for the girls to stay in when they get here. I think they have some spare paint in the attic and if we're lucky brand new beds"

We quickly moved all of Jon's stuff into my room and stole two beds from next door, no one is going to tell us we aren't allowed and some kid can just sleep on the floor in the meantime. It was a bit of a squish with four beds in the room but we managed to fit everything in somehow. Then we ran back to boarding house D.

Jon had the best room in Boarding House D possibly in the entire school. It was on the top floor and was massive it even overlooked the small lake that we had in the complex. When we stepped through the front door it was absolute chaos the boys were throwing eggs, toilet papering the rooms, booby trapping everything they could think of and spray painting every spare surface. I released a sharp whistle and everyone stopped and looked at me. "NO ONE IS TO SET FOOT IN ROOM 201. ARE WE CLEAR?!" A chorus of yes's followed and Jon and I ran up the stairs to make sure that the room was ready for our sisters' arrival.

We pulled paint cans out of the attic as well as some brand new beds, mattresses and dressers knowing that we couldn't do much in the bathroom but clean it and that the girls were bringing everything else. We painted the room in a few hours and quickly assembled the new furniture before we began to clean the bathroom, Jon was a reasonably messy person. The room had the latest locking mechanism with a pin code which we changed. Jon always spent his money on gadgets he also had a comms machine so you didn't have to open the door to see who was outside.

The boys all stayed off the booze that night, wanting to be sober when the girls of Graceheights arrived. Lights went off earlier that night than ever before and most students were in bed by 10pm, wanting to sleep away the night. Waiting with barely contained excitement of what would happen tomorrow. Jon, Alec and I all fell asleep in room 201 of Boarding house D and we easily slept till morning.
