When Isabelle Lightwood reached the institute she wasn't surprised to see her brother, obviously trying to sneak in. She let it go with a smile and waited a few minutes before entering to spare him the awkwardness.

Then she headed to the kitchen, in desperate need of a coffee. Jace was already sitting at the table, eating some cereal. "Ah, you've returned for the walk of shame have you?" He grinned at her while she made her coffee. "Strangely when I went to get my parabatei and his sister to train with me it seemed like neither of them were home." "Don't act all innocent, just because you managed to come back home earlier than them." Aline Penhallow commented, entering the room. Izzy just raised an eyebrow at him, sipping some coffee. "Alec!" Jace happily changed the subject when the third Lightwood sibling entered the room. "Do you think Magnus would terribly mind if I occupied his TV for the day?" Alec blushed a bit at the mention of the warlock. "I don't know why?" "Well there's a Project Runway marathon on tonight." "A what?" "Project runway? Girls creating outfits from basically nothing? Seriously? You realize you are attending a mundane school. You're just hopeless!" They all looked at him as if he'd gone mad. "You know, now that I think about it you should all join me! It could prove quite useful to know about that stuff, we could lose our clothes anytime during a fight." "Or when you lose your shirt mysteriously at a mundane party." Alec said dryly shooting Izzy a look who started to choke on her coffee. "Of course, in that situation it would be useful as well.. wait.. What did I miss?!" "Aaaand that's my cue to leave, I really need a hot shower." Isabelle said, walking out the room. "Hey wait! What did I miss! Come on somebody tell me!"

While the hot water was running down her body, Izzy couldn't help but wonder how Emily's night went after she left. For some reason she was oddly curious about the girl. I really want to know who spilled that drink on her, and why.. I wonder what she looked like in my shirt..Wait.. Why do I keep thinking about her? It's not like she's a downworlder or anything.. at least then I would have a reason to be interested in her..

After spending the weekend mostly training, trying to get a certain redhead out of her head, dodging Jace questions about her missing shirt and watching several hours of Project Runway at Magnus' loft(She still couldn't believe that Jace and Magnus actually enjoyed that show and decided to make this a regular thing!), she was almost glad to be back at school. Almost.

Izzy and her brothers were collecting some books from their lockers when Emily approached the Lightwoodgirl. "Hey! I brought you back your shirt, it's already washed and don't worry it is and was stain free. Thanks again." Emily said while handing her the shirt. "You're very welcome." Izzy smiled warmly at her. "So how did your evening go after I left?" "Uh not as bad as I anticipated." the red-haired girl laughed lightly. "There were lots of stares and awkward looks, I guess people noticed that my 'dress' was previously your shirt." "Ah they were probably just jealous, who wouldn't want to have Izzy strip for them." Jace interrupted the girls, causing Izzy to roll her eyes. "I"m Jace Lightwood by the way." he said grinning at Izzy "Emily, may I introduce you to my hardly annoying brother?" Izzy said her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Hi, pleasure to meet you." Emily smiled at him. "Oh, love your british accent, don't you agree Izzy?" I'm going to kill him for this later. I so am. "Uh thanks?" "Okay.. this was fun and all but I really don't want to run late. Are you coming Emily?" Izzy said, walking away without checking if the other girl was actually following her.

During Lunchtime Isabelle was sitting at the boys table, trying hard to seem interested in their conversation and ignore Jace who constantly tried to interrogate her about Emily. When she finally had enough, feeling like she needed to shut out the whole world for a while she went to the schoolyard and sat down on a bench in the sun. She leaned back and closed her eyes. This is nice.

She spent a couple of minutes like this, until she suddenly felt as if somebody was watching her. "You know it's not polite to stare." She said, hoping that someone was actually there and she wasn't just making a fool out of herself. "And yet you do it all the time." At the sound of the familiar voice she opened her eyes and saw Emily standing in front of her. "I do not!" "Eh yeah you kind of do. Always. Or you glare. I don't think you actually notice you do it, but you do." she said with a small smile. "That's probably why most of our classmates are intimidated by you." she sat down next to the other girl. "Yeah you are clearly intimidated." Izzy joked. "You did strip for me." Emily laughed. "Which was kind of nice." Izzy raised her eyebrows. "I mean the lending me your shirt part!..Not the stripping." The black haired girls eyebrows rose even higher. "Not that that wasn't nice too, but you know.. " Emily went rambling on "Well this is awkward." she finally stopped herself and laughed. Izzy just smirked at her. "So what are you doing out here alone? Aren't you usually with your brothers and the football team?" Football? Oh yeah that's the weird mundane sport they were always talking about. "I just needed to be alone for a bit." "Oh I can leave" Emily said, getting up, when Izzy touched her arm to stop her. "No, it's alright. It's actually nice having you here." She said. "And you are quite entertaining." she added with a grin. "Alright." she grinned back, sitting back down. "You really aren't what I expected." "Uh okay?" "You know you guys had this whole Twilight-vibe going on." "What now?" Izzy genuinely didn't have the slightest idea what the other girl was talking about. "Twilight? You know, incredibly beautiful siblings enrolling a highschool at the same time and keeping mostly to themselves? And then in turns out they're all vampires and stuff?" "incredibly beautiful huh?" Izzy grinned smugly. "That's.. That's not the point!" Emily turned red. "How can you not know about twilight?! Do you live under a rock?!" She changed the subject quickly. Yeah Izzy how do you not know about twilight. "Ehm.. at our previous school, it wasn't really tolerated to have electronic devices.. We didn't have a tv or anything." "What about the books?" "I'm not much of a reader." At least that part was true. "That's just sad. I guess I'll have to give you a moviecation then." "Eeeh.." "Don't worry, it won't be long before you know all about the best movies." Emily said cheerfully.
