Chapter 2

Kenzi- No POV

It was the same routine every damn day. Wake up. Go to school. Refrain from killing her peers. Go home. Sleep. It never changed. She hated her new mundane life.

Ever since her mother had forced her to pack up her life in Idris and move to New York, she had been miserable.

She never had time to train, she had to spend hours upon hours each day with stupid, superficial mundane, and she had to hide her runes. The only thing that made her new life mildly bearable was the fact that New York had plenty of demons for her to hunt. It also didn't hurt that she had an amazing vampire boyfriend. Though he didn't know that she knew he was a vampire. He also still thought she was a mundane.

A knock on her bedroom door brought her out of her thoughts.

"Simon is here!" She heard her mom say from the other side of the door.

"Kay!" She yelled in response. Kenzi quickly grabbed her backpack off the kitchen counter and ran outside to meet Simon.

He was leaning on his ugly yellow van when she got outside. His tattered brown backpack was slung over his shoulders and his curly brown hair looked like he had just rolled out of bed only five seconds ago.

Reaching up on her tip-toes, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and said good morning before hopping into the passenger seat of the van.

He hopped in on the divers side and turned on the radio.

Turning to Kenzi with a smile, he asked "So are you busy today after school?"

"Yes. I have a hot date with my couch and T.V." she said as seriously as she could then burst out laughing.

He chuckled lightly to himself.

"You're cheating on me?! With your couch?! How could you? I thought you loved me!" He said dramatically.

At this point Kenzis's face was bright red with laughter.

"Seriously, do you have any plans today after school?" Simon asked her.

"No. I don't think so. Why?" She responded.

"Well, you know my friends that I told you about? The ones that are home schooled? Well, we all have plans to meet up today and I wanted to introduce you to them. I really think you'll like them. Especially Clary." He said excitedly.

"I'd love to" She said grabbing his free hand and smiling softly at him.

Five minutes later they pulled into the parking lot of St. Xaviers high School. After parking, Simon got out of the van and walked over to Kenzi's side and opened the door for her like the gentleman he was raised to be.

Kenzi smiled her thanks at him and grabbed his hand. Sighing with content, they walked through the front gates and merged into the mass of high school students.

Before she knew it, it was lunch time and Kenzi headed out to the court yard to enjoy her lunch with her boyfriend and his friends. She saw her adorably dorky boyfriend waving at her enthusiastically from a table where he was surrounded by his band mates.

His phone started to ring annoyingly loud as Kenzi sat down next to him. He grabbed her hand and pulled out his phone to answer the call.

"Yo! Clear-Bear, whats up?" He said. There was a faint mumble of noise coming from the phone as the other person responded.

"Yeah, Kenzi said she could come. We'll be there after school gets out. See ya!" He said and hung up the phone.

"So was that the famous Clary your always telling me about?" Kenzi asked nudging Simon's shoulder with her own.

"Yeah, she was calling to tell me where to meet everyone and she also wanted to find out if you were coming. She's really excited to meet you. Jace is having a hard time keeping her from running down here now just to meet you" Simon said with a laugh.

"Who's Jace?" Kenzi asked quizzically.

"Oh, he's Clary's boyfriend. He's a complete ass hat and extremely full of himself. I don't know how she puts up with him. But she's happy and he treats her well so I wont judge."

"Yeah you will" Kenzi said laughing.

"Ok. I won't judge out loud." He said with a laugh of his own.

Mundane classes sucked ass. Algebra specifically. Kenzi hated it. She thought it was a pointless subject for even a mundane. Who the hell needs it?

Sighing, she pulled out her note book to take notes Suddenly, her mind went completely blank. Her hand started to move of its own accord. Lines and curves connected forming images on the paper.

With a jolt, She came back to reality. Silently panting, she looked down at the image her mind created. Her eyes grew wide as shock settled in. Looking back at her were so much like hers, but they were different. They could only belong to one person. Her brother.

Without a thought, she shoved the note book back in her bag and pushed the picture to the back of her mind and tried to forget about it.
