3 days later on the first day of school.

Clary's first class of the day was one of her favorite's English. She recognized Eric from Simon's band, and Laura one of her closest friend (other than Simon) who was motioning for her to come sit by her. Clary had known Laura since they were in 4th grade.

"Hey Clary, where have you been all summer?" Laura asked enthusiastically.

"Well, I was in and around Europe most of the summer, I just got back three days ago. Luke and my mom got married," she paused momentarily to catch her breath. "Oh yeah, and I now have a totally hot boyfriend."

"WOW! Your summer must have been amazingly busy. Who is this boyfriend of yours do I know him?" Laura was always quick to ask questions.

"His name is Jace Lightwood; he was adopted and has a sister and 2 brothers. Whops I guess its only 1 brother now. The 3 of them are starting school here next Monday. They were home school but the uncle who was the one that taught them moved." The excitement was quickly rising in her voice.

English ended as quickly as it started she had Science and gym before lunch. At lunch she met Simon and Laura in the corner where they normally sat. One look and you could tell there were several girls drooling over Simon and his new vampire looks.

Simon with his water (blood) bottle in hand with one glance at Clary said to Laura, "She misses her boyfriend just a little too much." With a smirk he buried himself back in his book.

With no better come back Clary said, "Well at least I don't have to choose between Isabelle and Maia."

"Guys, guys chill out you don't have to start a fight about something so small." Laura was completely irritated with them talking about something see knew very little about.

Just as Clary was about to say something her cell phone buzzed with a text from Jace. This confused her because there was no cell phone service in Alicante. The text read: you'll never guess where I am. She replied: no clue so, where are you?

"Let me guess, Jace?" Simon automatically knew from the smile that appeared on her face.

"Who else would text me in the middle of school?" Just then Clary received yet another text, this time from her mom. It read: Would you pick up class schedules and paperwork for the Lightwoods? Thanks Mom.

Then Clary went through her pictures to find one of the Lightwoods she then handed to phone to Laura. The picture had the same "old" family that she had met at the beginning of the summer. Max……….Max was in the picture too.

"Which one is Jace?" Laura asked when she couldn't figure out who was who in the picture.

Clary pointed to each of the people in the picture and gave her a name to go with each face. Then she noticed how Laura was looking at Alec and said, "You really don't want to go there, he kinda already has a boyfriend."

"Oh, wait did you say boyfriend?" Clary nodded as her friend. "Okay I think."

"Just leave it you'd never figure it out anyway if I hadn't told you." Clary sighed and the bell rang to end lunch.

The rest of the day consisted of Art, Math and Resource. During resource she wasn't concentrated on her work at all.

"Mrs. Hacel, can I have a pass to go to the office?" Clary finally decided to go get all the paperwork for the Lightwoods.

Mrs. Hacel came over and wrote the pass, "Now Clary, why would you need to go to the office?"

"My mom needed me to pick up some paperwork for a friend of hers," Clary replied before gathering her things to leave.

"Okay then have a good rest of the day and I'll see you tomorrow." Mrs. Hacel turned to help the next person.

Clary took her time walking to the office. When she arrived there she told the secretary, "My mom told me to come pick up all the paperwork and class schedules for the Lightwood kids."

"Alright let me just find those here," She began looking though files on her computer. "Could you give me first names for the students?"

"Their first names are Jace, Alec, and Isabelle Lightwood. Jace and Isabelle are going into 11th grade and Alec is going into 12th." Clary was getting very anxious for the bell to ring.

"Here you go." The secretary handed her a stack of papers. "Just have them return the paperwork filled out when they come to school." Just as she finished speaking the bell rang.

"Thanks, bye." Clary turned and headed out the door.

She headed for the front door and just as she was about to go though the door she got a picture of a bike in front of a school sent to her phone. It took her a moment to realize it wasn't just any bike. It was Jace's bike that he got for Raphael. There was not only one helmet sitting on it but two. Then she pieced together that the bike wasn't in front of any school it was her school.

Jace. Jace! She ran out the door and greeting her there was the one and only Jace. It hadn't even been a week but boy did she miss him. They hugged for a minute then she backed up for a second.

"Why are you here so soon, weren't you supposed to be in Alicante until the end of the week?" Clary asked using up some of her built up excitement.

"Well, yes and everyone else still is in Alicante. I begged Maryse to let me come home early." He leaned down and kissed her gently.

"Are you staying with us until they get back then?" Clary inquired.

"Do you honestly think that Maryse would let me stay at the institute all by myself?" Jace shot back. "I already know that you know the answer to that question. You can answer by putting on that helmet and getting on the bike."

"That's 100% fine with me," she said while grabbing the helmet and climbing on behind Jace.

* * * * * *

They opened the door and Jocelyn was waiting for them at the table, "Hey Clary did you pick up the paperwork for me?"

"Yep, it's all right here," dropping a stack of paper in front of her mother."

"Wait one second you two. Maryse told me that I needed to talk to Jace about his education. I think I will let Clary tell you though." Jocelyn waved them off.

"Okay mom, I'll make sure Jace is informed about it." Grabbing Jace's hand she turned for her room.

Upon entering Clary's room Jace kissed her and asked, "So, what is it that you mom wants you to tell me?"

"Well it's about school, in particular my school." She paused with Jace staring at her, "Okay I'll spit it out, Maryse enrolled you, Alec and Isabelle in public school. There you have it." Jace sat down and stared at the wall. Clary joined him although she was dieing for him to say something, "Jace say something already."

"I can't believe it, why would Maryse do this? None of us have any experience socializing with mundanes." Jace sighed.

"It'll be fine, you've got me." Clary kissed him, "Plus I looked at your class schedule and you're only in one class without me. It'll be perfectly fine just look at the bright side. You get to spend more time with me."

"True, but at a school I can't do this," pushing her over on top of the bed kissing her.
