Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I will try to update more frequently from now on. I hope you like the chapter.

(Clary p.o.v.)

It was lunchtime and we were sat at our usual table on the edge of the cafeteria, we were not the popular kids but we did get on well with them. Magnus and Maia were sat grilling us as to what Mrs Lewis wanted.

"We are going to perform at the showcase tomorrow night that will launch the project," explained Simon.

"Did you get told what the project is?" asked Magnus.

"No we won't get told until tomorrow."

"Cool, so what song are you going to do," asked Maia.

"Not sure we're going to the music room after we have eaten to try and figure them out. You want to come?" Jordan said looking at Maia and Magnus while eating as quickly as possible.

Both of them nodded that they did want to come and help us chose song and we all finished eating as quickly as possible.

We made our way to the music room and met Amatis and my mother in there.

"Hey, Mrs Garroway, Miss Garroway," greeted Simon picking up a base guitar and pulling the strap over his head. The rest of the band made their way to their instruments as Maia and Magnus sat on chairs in front of the area cleared for a stage. I grabbed a microphone and went to stand with the rest of the band.

"Hello, Simon and the rest of you," greeted my mother while Amatis nodded.

"What are we going to play then tomorrow?" I asked.

"We should do 'All or Nothing' everyone loves that one." We all agreed it was our most popular song when we performed at school events, Luke's bookshop or other places we had managed to get gigs at.

"And 'Never Again' Clary you kill that and Jordan's bit in the middle is also amazing," stated Eric as we all agreed with him.

We spent the next couple of minutes debating back and forth the last song we should chose. In the end we decided to practice the two we had decided on before lunch was over. During the two songs I could see my mother and Amatis having a silent conversation. When we were finished they stared at us for a few moments before Amatis spoke, "How about for your third song you learn a new one?"

"We don't have a new one to learn and how would we learn it in time?" asked Jordan, he wrote a lot of our songs and knew he had not come up with anything new.

"Well it's an old song but hasn't been played in years and you all have music next so you could learn it then. It's only an option as you can't decide which another song you want to perform," explained Amatis.

"How do you know we will be able to play it?" I asked worried the song may not be in my vocal range.

"Because I wrote it and it is very similar to your style."

"And don't worry honey it is in you vocal range and Amatis wrote it for me to sing," added my mother.

We all stared at them for a few moments before I remembered that my mother, Luke and Amatis had been in a band when they were in high school with Rangor Fell who had sadly passed away a year ago and another person who they always avoided talking about. The song called 'It's over now' was brilliant and we were all really looking forward to playing it but I couldn't help but feel that the meaning behind the song was really. I knew Amatis had been hurt in the past but I was beginning to think it was worse than I knew.

We were sat in the middle of the cafeteria at the popular table with the rest of the football team.

"What did Lightwood want?" questioned Ben one of the members of the football team.

"Just asking us to perform tomorrow for this ridiculous project thing," answered Jonathan.

"Are you going to do it?" Ben asked.

"Of course we are, we are going to show St Xavier's that we are better than them in every way," I answered with a smirk on my face. I knew that The Shadowhunters would be better than any band they had put together and we would be able to practice in our detention after school as it was for a school event. It sucks that Mr Lightwood did give detention if only St Xavier's headmistress had not complained.

"We need to decide which songs we are going to do," Alec said trust him to keep everyone on track.

"We can decide that in practice after school," moaned Sebastian not wanting to do any work in his lunch break.

Alec rolled his eyes and I heard him say "Whatever" under his breath. I grinned it was good to know Sebastian annoyed everyone.

(Still Jace's p.o.v.)

It was detention time but not really seeing as we practicing in the music room under the watchful eye of Mr Peterson arguing over what songs we would perform tomorrow, well it was mainly Jonathan and Sebastian arguing. Alec and I glanced at each other and saw we were both thinking the same thing.

"Will you two shut up!" cried Alec, "My god you're like three year olds. The only way we will decide the songs is to discuss it calmly."

"I think we should do 'So much for Yesterday'," I quickly imputed before anyone could say anything else. I knew they would agree with me as I was the lead singer and they always followed me anyway. Alec quickly agreed with me, the other two did not say a word against me.

"Then can we do 'We are better than you'," smirk started to appear on Sebastian's face as he added "You know because we are better than them."

"Yeah sure that will be a good one," I answered with a nod.

"Everyone loves 'That's why it's me'," suggested Jonathan and we all agreed.

With our songs chosen it was time to practice though I doubt we needed it to be better than whatever band we were up against. I know it's not a competition but we have a reputation of been against that school.

After practicing it was clear we were ready for tomorrow, we sounded brilliant, everything was in time and I had manage to sing it all perfectly not that I wouldn't in the first place. It was the end of detention and Mr Peterson was dismissing us.

"Tomorrow for your detention I believe you with Mr Wayland the art teacher setting up the art exhibition for both schools in the main hall. Good luck with your performance if I don't see you before."

Leaving the room I caught Jonathan's eye, we were helping with setting up the exhibition for both schools. I'm sure we could do something very interesting with the time we had.

(Clary's p.o.v)

After school we were all heading to Eric's just to practice the songs one more time. We had the new song down and it sounded really good Amatis and my mom where right the way it was written was perfect for my voice. Who knew I sang just like my mother. I could not wait until tomorrow when we would perform in front of both the schools. We were not the only ones performing we also had people playing different instruments but we were going last, saving the best until last.

"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" asked Simon breaking my train of thought.

"No, not really. Maybe slightly with doing a song we haven't done before but other than that I'm looking forward to it."

"Good because we are going to kill it." Simon smiled and picked up his base ready to go through the new song again.

(Jace's p.o.v)

The boys and I walked into my house and straight into the living room seeing my father sitting talking to Valentine Morgenstern, Johnathan's father.

"Ah boys I understand you have to work with St Xavier's in a creative project," my father said as soon as he saw us.

"Yeah we do, we are performing at the launching showcase as well," I answered.

"Yes, Robert informed us and we will both be attending the showcase tomorrow to watch," Valentine dismissed us with his words and we all filed out of the room not having the courage to disobey Valentine Morgenstern or my father, Stephen Herondale.

I had just left the room when I heard part of a conversation that was not meant for my ears.

"You know she works there right?" that was my father.

"Yes I'm very aware."

"And she has a daughter that is not his."

"You told me this years ago. I wasn't interested then but I may have to meet this girl," I could practical see the dangerous smile that was on Valentines face.

I decided I did not want to be the person they were talking about as I followed my friends upstairs to plan the prank we would play tomorrow. (Of course we were going to play a prank it was stupid to believe anything less).

Sorry for any mistakes :)
