Alec woke up to Vicky softly poking him in the face.
"Alec you have to wake up, you're starting school today" She whispered softly.
Alec slowly opened his eyes and yawned.
"There we go, see I don't know why everyone jumps on you to wake up" Vicky said, smiling warmly.
Alec nodded and sat up rubbing his eyes.
"Come on I woke you up earlier than Magnus and Isabelle because Magnus takes forever getting ready and I have a feeling that Isabelle does to" Vicky explained.
Alec nodded again and walked over to his closet getting out some underwear, a shirt and a pair of jeans and walked down to the bathroom and had a quick shower and got changed. When he walked out of the shower he was pushed out of the way onto the floor.
"Ow…" Alec said getting up off the floor.
"Sorry Alec!" Isabelle yelled from the bathroom, "I just had to get here before Magnus."
Alec sighed and walked back to his room, he saw Magnus standing at the top of the stairs. Magnus's hair was down and a little messy, Alec had to say that Magnus looked better with his hair down than up.
"See something you like?" Magnus asked, raising a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.
Crap! I must've been staring to long! Alec thought, the little voice laughed at him.
"No, you have something on your face" Alec said, surprised that he had lied so easily.
"What?" Magnus said brining a hand up to his face "it better not be a mark from that punch you gave me yesterday."
"It wasn't that hard" Alec mumbled, pushing past Magnus and walking to his room.
Alec was praising himself for his wonderful cover up when Jeffery walked in.
"Good you're up, come have some breakfast, Jace, Max and Magnus are already eating" Jeffery said.
Alec nodded and followed Jeffery to the kitchen. He sat in his usual spot away from everyone.
Jace and Max were talking about school and how excited they were to go there.
"I've never been to school before" Max said as Vicky walked into the kitchen "They had a school at orphanage but it wasn't very good nobody went there."
"Really?" Vicky asked, placing a plate of pancakes in front of Alec.
"Yeah!" Jace said "Well Alec went there, probably to get away from everyone."
Alec sighed, the school at the orphanage wasn't that bad, Hodge was the teacher and he was actually a very good teacher. He also went to the orphanage's school to get away from everyone to.
"Did you really Alec?" Jeffery asked.
Alec nodded and took a small bite of his pancakes, they were pretty good. He could see Magnus looking at him and Alec sighed.
Magnus probably thinks he's a ninja or something the little voice said but I don't think that Magnus knows he sucks at being one.
"What did you learn at the school Alec?" Vicky asked.
"Stuff…" Alec said, taking another bite of his pancake.
"What type of stuff?" Magnus asked, looking at Alec directly now.
"Educational stuff" Alec said, finishing off one of the pancakes.
Magnus rolled his eyes and stuffed his face with some pancakes, "But Max said that the school wasn't that good."
"Max didn't even go to it, the school was good you did learn stuff" Alec said.
"I went there once" Jace said "I learnt nothing!"
"That's because you fell asleep on the desk and drooled" Alec said, pushing the plate still filled with pancakes away from him.
"I did not!" Jace yelled.
Alec nodded "you did fall asleep and you did drool, you drooled everywhere."
Jace smiled, rolled his eyes and threw a pancake at Alec.
"Jace!" Vicky scolded, she threw the pancake back at Jace and it hit him in the face.
Alec watched the scene before him and settled on the conclusion that Vicky is crazy and she will make Jace go crazy.
"What the hell is going on here?" Isabelle asked, Alec turned and looked at her and his eyes widened.
"You are not wearing that!" Alec said, she was wearing a very, very short, tight dress.
"Why can't I?" she asked, putting a hand on her hip.
"Because it's way too short" Alec said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Oh Alec" Vicky said "Let Isabelle were what she wants."
Isabelle poked her tongue out at Alec "Ha!"
Alec rolled his eyes "you still could've worn something more appropriate" he mumbled.
"What was that, Allie?" Isabelle asked sweetly, causing Jace and Magnus to snicker.
"Nothing" He muttered, giving up.
"I'm going to get ready!" Magnus announced and he literally pranced out of the kitchen.
"Nobody cares!" Jace yelled out after Magnus.
"I wasn't asking for their opinion, Goldie" Magnus yelled from somewhere in the house.
Vicky rolled her eyes and turned to Alec "Alec you haven't eaten much" She said, eyeing the plate of pancakes Alec didn't really touch.
It's not like she cares, the little voice said, she doesn't care about you at all.
"I'm not hungry" Alec mumbled.
"Nervous for your first day at school?" Jeffery asked.
Alec nodded, thinking that if he agreed they would leave him alone. He was wrong Jeffery sat down a little too close for Alec's liking.
"No need to be nervous, son" Jeffery said, placing a hand on Alec's shoulder making him flinch. Jeffery didn't notice and kept talking "the schools great! I'm sure Magnus will help you settle in."
Alec nodded and slid off his chair and walked out of the room, ignoring the look of confusion Jeffery sent him. He walked up to his room and flung himself down onto the bed. He sighed and looked up at the ceiling wishing that it would collapse onto him now.
"Alec" Vicky called from the doorway "Come downstairs and finish your breakfast."
"I'm not hungry" Alec mumbled.
"You're a growing boy, how can you not be hungry?" Vicky asked, placing a hand on her hip.
"By being full" Alec answered.
"Come on, Mister" Vicky grabbed his leg and pulled him off the bed onto the floor, "You're going to finish a meal for once."
Alec groaned and got up off the floor, he was a bit surprised at how comfortable he felt around Vicky. Usually he wouldn't be this normal-ish around someone he met three days ago.
They walked down stairs and Alec sat down in his spot and Vicky placed the plate of pancakes in front of him.
"Eat" She demanded, shoving a fork into Alec's hand.
"What are you doing?" Isabelle asked, looking up from some fashion magazine.
"I'm getting Alec to eat all of his food" Vicky explained.
"Good luck trying to get him to eat everything" Jace said, shovelling a pancake into his mouth.
How many pancakes has that boy had? Alec thought, he'll get fat, soon the little voice said.
"He never eats everything" Max said, Alec saw Max carving his pancake into a dinosaur shape.
"Why doesn't he eat everything?" Vicky asked.
"He just doesn't" Isabelle said "At the orphanage he would always give his food to someone else."
"He like never ate…" Max said "He's like a robot, but with emotion and you know human stuff. Basically all Alec lived on was books and information!" Max said.
Alec raised an eyebrow at his little brother.
"What?" Max asked biting off the dinosaur pancake's head.
Alec sighed and looked down at the pancakes. Sure he could eat them all, but spending eight and a half years at the orphanage giving his food to other kids at the orphanage and only eating when someone would force him to, kinda made him stop eating a lot of food.
"Eat your breakfast, Alexander" Magnus said.
When did he get here? Alec thought. He looked at Magnus and it kind of hurt his eyes, Magnus was dressed in his normal way, bright, tight, sparkling clothes downed in glitter.
"It's Alec" Alec corrected, looking away from his attractive adoptive brother.
"Whatever" Magnus said, Alec watched Magnus as he slid into the seat next to Isabelle and started talking with her in hushed whispers.
Alec felt a stab of jealously towards his sister. Of course Magnus would hang out with Isabelle, the little voice said, she's nicer then you and she's prettier.
He mentally banged his head on the table, why is that voice saying that I mean Isabelle's his sister! He shouldn't be jealous of his sister! And why is he jealous anyway? It's not like he like, likes Magnus… right?
"Eat, your food Alec" Vicky said.
Alec shook his head and dropped the fork onto the table, "I'm not hungry."
Vicky sighed and took the plate away, "I guess you aren't hungry…"
"I'll eat Alec's food!" Jace said.
Vicky smiled and pushed the plate in front of Jace. Jace ate the food in a flash.
"Okay Kiddos!" Jeffery said, once everyone had finished eating, "Get your bags and get in the car."
Everyone walked to their rooms, Alec trudge behind the others he was still annoyed at himself for feeling jealous towards his sister.
Alec walked into his room and grabbed his worn out back pack and he slid his black notebook into the front pocket. He walked downstairs with the others and they all climbed into the car.
On the way to the school Magnus told Alec, Isabelle and Jace about the high school. He told them who and who not to be friends with, Alec didn't listen to that, he didn't want to make friends, and he didn't even want to be here! Magnus also told them which teachers were mean and which teachers weren't Vicky said that all the teachers are great Magnus just gets on their bad side.
They pulled up in front of the school, It was massive! They all got out of the car.
"Okay" Jeffery said "I'm going to take Max to his school it's just across the road."
"Come on kids" Vicky said.
They all followed Vicky into the office Magnus stayed back next to Alec.
"So…" Magnus said, pushing Alec a little, "how's it going?" He asked.
Alec looked at Magnus with a confused look and then walked a little faster, he really didn't want to talk to Magnus at the moment. Magnus matched his pace.
"You know you aren't going to make any new friends wearing those clothes" Magnus said.
"I don't want to make any friends" Alec said.
"Well you're a ray of sunshine" Magnus said happily.
Alec rolled his eyes and followed Vicky and his siblings into the office.
The office was really nice for an office. It had an expensive looking plush couch on one side of the room, a massive trophy case almost overflowing with trophies for different sports and academic stuff on the other, it had expensive pieces of artwork hung up on the clean white walls, and it had a screen that kept flicking from photo to photo showing students with bright smiles and colourful clothes.
"Hello there!" A woman with an irritating smile greeted from behind the receptionist's desk, Alec guessed that she was the receptionist, "Vicky it's wonderful to see you again!" She said cheerfully, "And these must be the new kids!" The woman's eyes scanned them and Alec shifted uncomfortably.
"Yes!" Vicky said with a smile, "can we get their schedules please."
The woman smiled and disappeared into the back room.
"Ugh!" Magnus said from behind Alec.
Alec jumped and spun around and saw Magnus standing there.
"Isn't the receptionist annoying?" he asked, Alec glared at him, "And she should totally stop wearing all that pink it does not suit her skin tone!"
Alec turned back around and ignored Magnus.
"I agree with you Mags!" Isabelle said, "She shouldn't wear all that pink!" she laughed along with Magnus.
Oh look! The little voice said, she has a nickname for him!
Alec told the voice to shut up.
The lady walked back to the desks and beckoned them over.
"Okay which one of you is Jace?" she asked.
"Me!" Jace said confidently, with a bright smile.
She handed him his schedule and gave Isabelle hers.
"And last but not least, Alexander!" she said smiling happily and handing him over his schedule.
"Thanks" Alec muttered, not returning the smile like his siblings did.
Alec read his schedule, he had English up first.
"I'm in your English class!" Magnus said from beside Alec.
Alec jumped and nearly punched Magnus again in the face, "stop doing that" Alec hissed, glaring at Magnus.
"What talking to you?" Magnus asked.
Alec rolled his eyes.
"Okay, I'll see you four after school. I hope that Magnus will show you all around the school!" Vicky said.
"Yep I will, see you later mum!" Magnus said happily.
They all walked out of the office and Vicky walked to the car but not before saying goodbye to everyone.
They walked around the school.
"We're here a bit early so not many people are here" Magnus said, skipping ahead of them.
"So can you tell us which rooms are which?" Alec asked.
"Okay!" Magnus said cheerfully "That block there is the English block, the building next to it is the math block!" Magnus kept telling them which buildings had what subject as the school slowly filled with students.
"Jace!" Someone yelled!
Alec saw a flash of red hair and someone jumped on Jace.
"Clary?!" Jace said happily.
Alec saw Clary hugging Jace and Jace was smiling like an idiot.
Wait if Clary went here would that mean that…
"Alexander Lightwood, the parent killer, when did you go here?" an all too familiar voice said.
Alec turned around and saw Jonathan Morgenstern standing there.
The little voice started to laugh.
I can never win! Alec thought.
