Here is Chapter 2, I hope you like it. Also I know Amatis' last name is Herondale but in this she didn't actually marry him.

I own none of this I'm just playing with the characters.

Jace p.o.v

I strolled into the door of my school with a proud look on my face followed by my four best friends Alec Lightwood, Sebastian Verlac and Jonathan Morgenstern. We were the kings of the school and I, Jace Herondale was their leader even though Alec and Jonathan were both seniors and older than me. I was a junior with Sebastian who was so annoying and I would probably hate him if we hadn't been friends since we were little. We had just pulled of another prank on St Xavier's, which was brilliant we like to show them that we were better in every single way. It would also piss off Raphael and Meliorn they liked to think that were better than us but could never beat us, whether it was through pranking or on the football field. I was captain of our football team and all my friends played on it. Meliorn was captain of St Xavier's but we were better.

Many people said we only had better sports, art and music programmes as we were a private school and paid for them but it wasn't our fault we could afford a better education. I know I sound like a spoilt brat but it was the way I was brought up. As well as been a football player I was lead singer in a band along with Alec, Jonathan and Sebastian since Jonathan had moved here in the middle of freshman year.

"What have you done now?" asked Aline sauntering towards me. Aline was like my friends with benefits without really been a good friend. Honestly we were both using each other. She was using me to cover up her crush for Helen Blackthorn and I was a guy why would I say no?

"Just had a little fun."

"We prank St Xavier's last night and drove past this morning to see our handy work," said Sebastian with a smirk at his cousin.

I rolled my eyes, of course he wanted to brag and we wouldn't really get in to trouble Mr Lightwood was Alec's father unless it came back to bite us but he could be subtle about it.

"Sebastian, shut up," Jonathan accompanied his retort with a slap around the back of his head. I smiled.

"Whatever," he grumbled.

"Well you should learn to be more subtle," said Alec dryly.

"It's not like we would get into trouble now really. I mean we hate that school even the teachers hate that school. We are so much better." For some reason when he said that it made him sound like a dickhead even though I had thought pretty much the same thing.

"It does matter if St Xavier reports it."

That shut Sebastian up quickly and he stalked away to his locker. We all exchange a look before going to our own. I had English first so I got my book and headed to the classroom getting flirty smiles from most of the girls. I had only just sat down when our headmaster Mr Lightwood came over the speaker.

"Would all Juniors and Seniors please go to the auditorium immediately."

Exchanging looks my class rose and walked to our massive auditorium I sat in an empty row and soon Alec, Jonathan and Sebastian soon joined me. Mr Lightwood walked out on to the stage with a microphone in his hand.

"It has come to my attention that certain people," his gaze drifted over where we were sat "have pranked St Xavier's once again. This has got to stop. I do not like getting a phone call of Mrs Lewis first thing in the morning to tell me her school has been vandalised. There is no proof of who did this but we have come up with an idea to put this ridiculous rivalry behind us. Starting tomorrow after school you will be working with St Xavier's on a creative working project. You will find out more about this project tomorrow. Can Alec Lightwood, Jace Herondale, Jonathan Morgenstern and Sebastian Verlac please see me in my office now? Dismissed, everyone back to first period."

There was mumbling all around the auditorium, we had to work with a school we hated, it must be a joke.

"This has got to be a joke, working with them!" I exclaimed.

"I don't think it is, we may have pushed them to far this time. Mrs Lewis might have threatened to go to the police. The only reason she hasn't before was because my father gave her help to clean it all up," Alec said in a worried voice then he continued with a sigh "We better go see what my father wants."

(Still Jace's p.o.v)

Mr Lightwood's office was massive, it had a grand wooden desk sat in the middle of the room and one of the walls was lined with a bookcase filled with academic books. There were a couple a filing cabinets that held important information; I had no idea what information. There were four seats in front of the desk and as we entered Mr Lightwood looked up from his desk and gestured to the seats.

"I know it was you four that put flour and water paste on St Xavier's building; just like I know you have been behind each of the pranks played on that school. However, since there is no evidence Mrs Lewis, the headmistress of St Xavier's does not need to know this but you each will have to do a two thousand word essay and detention until you are needed for the creative project for the next week, understand." We all nodded there was no point in arguing and he continued, "I also called you in here as tomorrow to launch the project we will be having a show of our creative ability and I want the Shadowhunters to perform three songs, only appropriate songs. I will need to check your choices by tomorrow morning so we can change them if need be. If you don't want to do it I can find someone else. I'm talking to Mr Peterson about more classical musicians anyway."

"No, we will do it," I agreed smirking we would show St Xavier's what we could do.

"Good, three songs at the latest tomorrow morning. You can go back to class now."

Clary's p.o.v

We trudged to Mrs Lewis' office still confused and worried about why we got called to her office. Did she think we had something to do with the pranks? Mrs Lewis had known me practical my whole life and was Simon's mom she knew we would be involved in the pranks or was this about the creative project. I was the only one in the band who was involved in art so maybe it was about music.

Mrs Lewis' office was cosy; it had a small wooden desk in the middle of the room with family pictures on the top. I could even see that I was in one of these. Filings cabinets filled the rest of the room. There were only three chairs facing her desk, I sat in one and Simon leaned against the back of the chair.

"Don't worry; none of you are in trouble. I know you all stay out of this silly prank war and you don't really have the rivalry as none of you play on sports team besides Jordan and even he can't be bothered with it." It was true we only cared when it messed with our life, "Tomorrow to start the project we are having a showcase of creative ability of both schools at Alicante. I wanted the Mortal Instruments to play three songs along with some other musicians I will ask Miss Garroway about." Miss Garroway was Luke's sister, Amatis and she was like my aunt. She was also the music teacher. "Do you want to do it?"

We all nodded in agreement.

"Fantastic, I will need to know your songs of I can approve them okay? Also Clary we are showing some art work that your mother is organising but I was hoping that you could bring the big panting you did of the picnic that was simply amazing."

"Of course, I will ask if Luke can drop it off." The panting was one I had done last year in school. It had taken ages for me to finish and was of everyone I loved at a picnic we had during the summer between my freshman year and sophomore year. It had originally been a sketch but during my art lesson I had painted it. I was my favourite piece that I had ever painted and was glad Mrs Lewis' wanted to show it off.

"Wonderful you can all go back to your lessons now."

We left a beaming headmistress and made our way back to separate classrooms. I entered mine said sorry to the teacher and slid into my seat next to Maia.

"What was it about?" she whispered.

"Later at lunch," I whispered back.
