After skipping last period and going shopping instead, Isabelle returned to the institute. Jia, Patrick and Aline Penhallow were out. Jace and Alec were in the training room sparring. After doing a bit of target practice Izzy found herself increadibly bored.

Let's have some fun.

She scrolled through her contacts on her phone and dialed Anthony's number. Anthony was a vampire with whom she had hooked up a couple of times before. He was more than happy to hear from her.

Izzy stood in her room in front of the mirror, wearing a tight dark green dress with that Clary would definitely call slutty. She put on some earrings and high heels and smiled at herself. That's more like it.

Not far from the Institute Anthony picked her up on his motorcycle. They headed straight to a downworlders club. It wasn't her first time in that club and she had to admit she quite enjoyed it there.

When Anthony bought her her first drink she didn't even ask what was in it before downing it at once.

"Wow someone really wants to have fun tonight!" he grinned at her. "That's why I called you."

Isabelle had always been quite fond of Anthony. He could always make her laugh and as a plus he was a few inches taller than her. The young vampire had hit on her one night at a bar even though he could clearly see that she was a Nephilim. After that they became fast friends who occasionally hooked up.

"Alright then! Let's go dance!"

Anthony wiggled with his eyebrows and started to dance right there and then at the bar. The macarena. Izzy gaped at him for a second before she threw hear head back and laughed wholeheartedly for the first time that day.

"You're incredibly talented!" "I know right? Maybe I should try our for one of those casting shows." "Definitely! You'd always have my vote!"

She grabbed his hand and dragged him to the dance floor still grinning. In spite of his rather idiotic performance a few minutes ago he could actually dance.

And for a few hours Izzy let go of everything and just enjoyed feeling the bass pounding through her chest and Anthony close to her.

From time to time they stopped for a few rounds of shots. But mostly they danced the night away.

Around 4 a.m a fairly drunk Isabelle Lightwood clung to Anthonys arm while they walked to an abandoned building that he made his second home.

"I really wish every night could be like this." she slurred. "Oh Honey me too. But I guess you wouldn't be yourself if every night would be like this and I rather like you." he said smiling at her. "That's true I'm kind of awesome." she agreed thoughtfully. Anthony had to bite back a laugh and kissed her on the cheek. "Indeed you are."

When they arrived at his flat they slumped down on the couch and turned on the TV. The originals was on and they started to make fun of the way they portrayed vampires in the show.

"Look at their face when their fangs come out! That's just so wrong!" Izzy laughed. "I know right? And daylight rings, those wimps should try to make it in the real world! Especially big bad Klaus!" "Oh but Klaus is kind of hot." "You just like his accent! You always had a weakness for british accents! That's why you think I'm hot." Izzy laughed at that "You're so full of yourself! But I admit british accents are attractive. Imagine Marcel with a british accent! That would be heaven."They went on like that for hours until they fell asleep.

A strange buzzing woke Izzy up. Her head pounded and she really didn't want to open her eyes. But the buzzing was pretty persistent. She groaned and felt around for her phone blindly.

"Hello?" Her voice sounded a bit hoarse. "Izzy! We called you like 5 times already! Where are you? We told Jia you went running this morning. The school called yesterday and she's already mad at you! Get your ass to school right now! I brought your stuff for today!" She had to hold the phone away from her ear to avoid a massive headache while Alec went on ranting. "Alright, alright calm down I'll be there. Thanks for covering for me." she murmured still sleepy before she hung up on him. "Tony? Are you awake?" "How could I not be when you're making this much noise?" He responded grumpily. He really wasn't a morning person. "Sorry honey." she laughed and regretted it immediately. Her head was really pounding. "You wouldn't happen to have a change of clothes and an aspirin for me,would you?" "Have a look at the closet and leave quietly, no pain killers though, since you know I don't really get any headaches." "Right, almost forgot." She made her way to his closet and raised her eyebrows. Boyfriend look it is! She put on some of his pants and a shirt which was so a bit too big but it would have to do. At least he doesn't like baggy jeans. "Hey you don't own any sunglasses do you?" "Top drawer.. and don't ask why I need them! Sunglasses are just brilliant." She grinned at that and chose some pilot sunglasses. Finally she put on her high heels and was surprisingly pleased by her outfit. It might have looked a bit weird on anybody else but Izzy somehow could pull of almost everything.

Even though she rushed to school, she still missed first period. Thankfully her brother had put her books for the day in her locker.

When she turned up for second period she could feel her classmates stare at her again. Will that ever end?

She hoped her teacher would have the decency not to ask her to take the sunglasses off. But of course he did just that. Not only did she not put any make up on, but she also looked completely exhausted. Which she actually was. She didn't even put an effort into glaring at her classmates. Instead she just fought to keep her eyes open and hoped this day would be over soon.

When it was time for the lunch break she dragged herself to Jace and Alec and let her head fall on the table. "Kill me now." "Ah I don't want to get my hands dirty this early, but don't worry Jia will do it later anyways." Jace said dryly. She glared at him weakly before closing her eyes again. "Where were you anyways?" Alec asked. "Out. Wake me up when the break is over."was all she murmured before she fell asleep.

Jace woke her by pinching her nose. "Rise and shine!" "Can you just not be that cheerful?" She groaned. Alec pushed a cup of coffee in her direction. "See that's what a good brother does!" She greedily downed half of the cup at once.

"Love you too"Jace replied laughing before he and Alec made their way to their classroom.

When she got up and turned around somebody bumped into her.. and spilled her coffee all over her shirt. When she looked up a shocked redhead stared at her." Seriously?" Was all she said."I am so sorry! I really didn't see you there" She apologized while she got some paper towels and started to try and dry her shirt with them. Izzy just watched the girl who had turned red for a couple of seconds. "I know they're gorgeous and all, but I usually don't like people I don't know rubbing my boobs." The girl looked up at her dumbfounded and turned an even darker shade of red. " I didn't.. I mean I didn't mean to.. I was just-" Izzy took the paper towels from her and had to bite back a grin. For some reason she found the rambling quite entertaining. " Right, if you don't mind I have a class to get to." She walked past the redhead. "Wait! I have a spare shirt in my locker if you want to change?" Izzy turned to look at her with raised eyebrows. She does realize she's tiny right? "Sure cause that's gonna fit." she responded before rushing off.

After sitting through a whole day with a coffee stained shirt, Isabelle really wasn't looking forward to go home and facing Jia. No doubt the school would have called about her absence this morning aswell.

She took a deep breath and braced herself inwardly before she entered the institute.

Jia was already waiting for her, looking not pleased at all. "What were you thinking?" Here we go. "Skipping school in your first week, on your first day to be exact! Why would you do that? And what about this morning? Do you want the clave to doubt you? Do you honestly think you're better than mundanes? Than your brothers? Cause they are trying. You have to think before you act!" While ia told her how badly she screwed up Izzy suddenly started to feel very small in her chair.
