The alarm seemed to scream inside William Herondale's ear, he groaned before reaching for the alarm clock only to figure out it wasn't there. He put the pillow over his head and it was jerked away from him. "Will, it's time to get up, 15 more minutes and you will be late for class." He heard Jem's voice and his feet pacing around. "Also, they want all of us to be in breakfast, especially after the stunt you pulled last night." Jem scoff. Will sat up and smiled brightly at him before getting out of his bed, he ran his fingers through his jet black hair and ran into the bathroom completing his morning routine which included bathroom, brushing, flossing, and fixing his hair.

"Oh Jem, they are will not even report it to the Dean, don't worry about it, sheesh." Will left the bathroom and changed into his uniform and took a seat grabbing his notebooks and flipping through them.

"You know the rules though, especially with Graymark, everyone knows how she is, at least have some class about who you sneak off with, your bad boy appearance reflects on me too." Jem raises his brow and fixes his tie.

"Pish Posh." Will rolled his eyes rocking his chair back and forth. "She was flirting with me all day, might as well check out the goods with a nice and steamy shower." Jem gave him a cold look before rolling his eyes and sitting across from him.

"How do you think Jessamine is going to react? Especially today, her little ceremony thing is tonight and she has been on the edge." Jem looked at the little boxes that were handed to them this morning, in them were black cloaks. "And if she finds out that you were messing around with one of the sluttiest girls here, how do you think she would feel?"

"You know Jessie; she'll take it out on the girl." Will twirled his pen before around idly and then looks at Jem. "I mean she knows she can't do anything that might strain this 'relationship' that we are supposed to have, it makes her imperfect and the last thing she wants to be is imperfect." Will stood up along with Jem grabbing his bag. "It will be alright." Will smiled and wrapped his arm around Jem's shoulders in a brotherly way.

They exited out of their dormitory and the sun was slowly rising behind the forest that surrounds Idris. Jem was looking through some music pages putting them in order while Will was looking off in a distance. Every girl that walked by smirked at him but of course he wasn't as interested in them. Will only fools around because of the boredom; he finds everything to be a boring waste of time and tends to wonder why he was here. They made it to the food hall and the smell of cinnamon, bacon and various other breakfast foods his senses. He looked around the dining hall which seems to be somewhat empty. He saw Jessamine sitting with the usual group of girls, they were like little puppies. Jessamine was his "Girlfriend", they never made anything official, everyone else just made the decision for them and Jessamine went along with it

What really bothered Will the most is how the only time she showed affection was in public, but anywhere else would be them snarling at each other. He looked at Jessamine, she had the long thick curly blonde hair that any girl would die for, her eyes are doll like with a hazel tint, her skin is porcelain, Jessamine was the exactly replica of a porcelain doll that sits in every little girls rooms. But just like those dolls, Jessamine was hollow inside.

"Have you notice that girl before?" Jem's voice snapped Will into reality again. "The brown haired one, she's by herself in the corner with a book, have you seen her before?" Will instantly thought of the same girl holding her towel tightly against her from the night before, she was startled but what he remembered the most about that girl was her eyes, they seems like a stormy sky, beautiful and dangerous at the same time.

"Never seen her in my life, why?" Will's tone had any sort of interest in it what so ever. He tries to keep it that way too when it comes to Jem, all the girls usually flock onto will leaving Jem to the side by himself.

"She looks….lonely." Jem studied her for a little bit. Jem was always a sucker when it comes to loneliness, but that's the reason they were friends to began with. Jem was an oddball when they first met as 6th graders going to a private school, he was always left out of games because he had a rare case of asthma, he had to take certain medicine to help it which started affecting his appearance. Jem looks like a china doll, fragile and thin, he's a little bit shorter than Jem, but his features are sharp, but the things that stands out the most about him is his shocking silver hair and silver eyes caused by his medicine, everyone in the school is used to it but whenever there is a new student they stop and stare in amazement.

"Well, get her…unlonely?" Will thought about what he said before he realized that word doesn't even exist before shrugging his shoulders and making his way to the booth not far from her.

"I think I will." Jem turned his heel and started walking towards her table before he realized that she was gathering up her and stuff and leaving. He then again tried to play it off by making a detour back to the booth where Will was sitting. "Well, that didn't go as I expected, she just ran out."

After breakfast, Jem and Will made their way to the Arts and English building for their classes; it was the usual conversation while walking. Then Jem looked at him, "What do you think will happen tonight? I mean wearing all black, meeting in the woods at the spot…..you think we're ready?" Jem looked a head, his eyes were big and round as if something was scaring him.

"Of course we are ready, we've been training for this the past 2 years, and we started in middle school." Will fidget with his shoulder bag," I think Jessamine is just taking it too serious and making a big deal of it." They finally reached the building, the halls were full of gossiping students, some stared at them, other students scurried away in a rush. They finally made it into the art room where it was filling up and Will stopped at the doorway. In the seat in front of him sat the girl he was thinking about all day. She was looking down at a book and she chewed gently on the tip of her pen.

"Hello William." He heard a smooth but high pitch voice behind him. "Why is that girl in our spot, especially my seat." Turned to see Jessamine standing beside him, her eyes glared at Tessa.

"She's a new girl, we can find new seats." Will rolled his eyes and looked around the room, Jessamine's cohorts were of course behind Tessa looking at her with disgusted looks before returning to their phones.

"I don't want new seats, I've gotten use to the ones we have right now, I'm going to tell this bitch to move out of the way." Before Will could say anything Jessamine made her way up to the desk, and throughout the quiet room he heard Jessamine speak very loudly, "I'm sorry, but you are in my spot."

Tessa looked her eyes were a lot grayer than last night, she was in her plaid skirt, a black v-neck and the plain vest and she found a plain tie to match with her silver necklace of a angel.

"I'm sorry; the teacher said I could sit anywhere." Tessa spoken very softly and looked around, "There are other seats that you can sit in too." Then she looked back down and then all the chatter in the room stopped and all eyes were on the two girls. Will wanted to stop before it got any worse, anything that made anyone question Jessamine's authority she would quickly smack them down.

"I'm sorry, but I've been sitting here all year and now some random new nobody is just sitting in my spot and you expect me to just let you get away with it, I don't know where or who the hell you are, but let's get things straight, when I say that's my spot, you get up and move and then apologize to me for even thinking you can sit here." Jessie looked down at the girl, her words dripped poison but Tessa looked unmoved.

"I'm sorry, but where I came from you can learn how to readjust, I mean you might as well go back to grade school if you don't know what that means. You get here early enough you can have the seat back, but I'm not going to be forced out of a spot because some girl with big curls and seem to have rule over her class or whatever thinks she could just get up and scoot me away like a puppy. You can go sit down now if you like, class is about to start." Then church bells started ringing in the distant and Jessamine stood there in disbelief, she looked around seeing everyone's eyes on her, her face was slowly turning red.

"You are going to regret every word that came from that nasty little mouth of yours, bitch." Jessamine spits out angrily before storming across the room, and of course the rest of her group moved to that side leaving Tessa alone and the room filled with whispers and gossip and Will sat beside Jessamine as she snaked her arm around him returning to her frazzled friends. He looked over at Tessa who stared at her paper but her gray eyes seemed to be somewhere else, maybe that's something for her to do to block the nasty rumors spread about her.

Tessa stared at the board while the teacher stood up. Will stared at her, the more he studied her the more she looked like a complex painting. From her light brown wavy hair that curled perfectly around her to her soft face with freckles that splashed across her nose and cheeks giving herself a child-like face. Will never seen a girl's face that held to her youth like this one, boarding school usually helps speeds up the growth of girls, but she held her youth. What really struck Will the most was her gray eyes, they were dull with boredom at the moment as she watched the teacher carry on with a lecture.

"William, you better not be staring at that whore." Jessamine snarled angrily as she started to file her nails. Will looked over at her, she was involved in herself completely and everyone that was around her had to be just involved. "I mean, seriously she probably had to sleep with half the staff to get into this place especially at late admission." Jessamine chuckled as the other three girls pulled out their phones and starting clicking away. Will rolled his eyes and stared forward towards the front of the room finally zoning out so he could stop listening to Jessamine.

All Tessa could think about was leaving the room after a very long and agonizing lesson, she loved art but the problem was the girls across the room. The Blonde tall model kept burning her eyes into Tessa's back and then turned around to laugh with her friends about something. This was the type of girls that Tessa despises, her face was pretty but her attitude was ugly. She grabbed her stuff and walked out the room in a hurry only to bump into the boy last night who was known as Will. Having her stuff spewed all over the ground causing all the girls to giggle and watch her. "I'm sorry." She mumbled trying to grab her stuff before she had to actually make eye contact.

"You know she's just jealous," Will spoke softly but only loud enough for Tessa to hear, "she's used to getting her way." Tessa looked up with confusion with her eyes only to catch his. Will's eyes looked like the dark blue sky in the middle of the ocean; they were deep but also frightening. He looked at her and smiled, his teeth were bright white and his smile was mischievous too.

"Well I guess she needed to be jerked back into the reality." Tessa said before gathering all her things and standing up, they started to walk out the door.

"William get here right now." Jessamine said angrily, her face was once again red, Will winked at her before heading to Jessamine's side before Tessa could actually realized that they were the King and Queen of the school, Tessa shook her head and headed up the stairway to her Literature class.

When Tessa walked in the classroom, barely anyone was in there but the few that were stared at her and then leaned over to whisper to their neighbor before giggling. Tessa knew it was Jessamine, after making her last period she knew that this day will be hell. Tessa sat in a random spot but felt like hidden from the class, which was her intention. She opened up her book 'Great Expectations' before being snapped back into reality by a young man taking the seat beside her. She couldn't help but stare at his, he was the most interesting and beautiful person ever to come across her path. He was tall with pale skin, his hair was the color of light silver, he looked like a china doll that shouldn't be touched or it will break. He finally turned to her, his pupils were huge which made him look like he was somewhat high but he acted normal. "You must be Theresa Gray." He smiled widely, his voice sounded like a musical note. "I'm sorry, I'm James Carstairs, but you can call me Jem, I haven't been the best welcoming committee, I was trying to talk to you at breakfast, but when I turned my back for a second and then you were gone."

"Sorry, I still had to find some of my classes still, I kind of got distracted last night when I was supposed to and time just slipped away." Tessa smiled softly before looking down at her hands shyly.

"It happens to the best of us, how has your day been?" Jem looked at her as he picked up a pencil twirling it around his delicate fingers.

How Tessa could honestly answer the question, was she to reveal she already made the Queen of Idris angry? No, that was too much information. She thought of twelve different things to say but the words that came out were, "its good." The bell made a second ring before Mr. Raphael closed the door and started in on his lesson. It wasn't only until 10 minutes later the door popped open.

"The King has arrived." Jem mumbled only to have William pop in the door; his cheeks were red from running.

"Mr. Herondale, did you get lost?" Mr. Raphael raised his brow.

"Of course not, I had to tend to some other issues for later on." He looked around the classroom only to find the seat beside Jem empty and took his seat beside him. "We shall continue the lesson now."

"You're late because?" Jem looked over.

"Little Jessie is upset." Will smirked before leaning over to look at Tessa; her eyes were focused on the lesson.

"Why?"

"Well see, the new girl over there, decided to not let the Queen get her way, the Queen was upset and needed comfort." Then suddenly the phone rings and Mr. Raphael picks up and nodded before looking around.

"Ms. Gray, you need to report to the main office building please, Mr. Carstairs and I guess Herondale, can you escort her." Mr. Raphael smiled before all eyes averted to the confused face of Tessa Gray. She grabbed her bags and made her way out quietly along with the two boys following her.

"Why am I being called to the main office?" Tessa looked at Jem trying to avoid all eye contact with Will.

"It could be anything like transfer papers, don't worry." Jem smiled before they got there.

In Mr. Starkweather's office were two men dressed in all black, along with Mr. Starkweather, whose face looked unnaturally tired. "Theresa may you have a seat." Mr. Starkweather pointed to the plush red chair. He rubbed his face a few times before sighing heavily. "Theresa, I am very sorry to even share the news, but there was a plane crash a few hours ago, there were only a few survivors, your parents were on the plane, and they found their bodies." Tessa stared passed them all, her eyes were wide and all the sudden she gets up numbly. "Please Theresa, sit down." And then it all goes black.
