So sorry it has been so long, I'm going to try a update more regularly so I will do my best. I do have some of the next chapter written I just need to finish it and type it up.

(Clary's p.o.v)

After practice Simon and I went to my house and found my mom, Luke and Amatis on the couch watching a video. As soon as they saw us they beckoned us over and we sat on the other sofa that was free.

"What is this?" I asked.

"I found the video of the last time St Xavier's and Alicante did a project together. Our band Idris performed like yours in going to tomorrow," explained my mom.

I watched as a younger version of my mom came on the screen, I could understand why everyone thought I looked like my mom though she was prettier than me. She was singing her heart out, the camera panned around and Luke came on to screen playing the bass guitar. It zoomed out and the whole stage came on the screen. Amatis and Rangor were both playing the guitar, a blonde headed boy about their age was rocking out on the drums.

"Who is that?" I asked pointing to the drummer.

The adults all looked at each other awkwardly and I could tell there was a story there that they did not want to tell me. It was Luke that answered "Just someone we used to know."

"Oh, not anymore then," I said knowing that I knew pretty much everyone they still talked to.

"No, we have spoken to him in years."

"That's a shame you sound really good, better than us," Simon exclaimed beaming.

My parents and Amatis smiled at him, "Thank you Simon but your band is very good too," said my mom with a smile on her face.

At school all anyone could talk about was the showcase tonight, people wanted to show those posh kids at Alicante what they could do, there words not mine. I was looking forward to it, it was a chance to perform and I got to show my painting off as well, it was something I was really proud off. Luke was going to take it the Alicante in his truck as it would not fit into the car. I believe he also got roped into taking other things for the gallery as well as they had to be there early so the gallery could be set up. I was nervous about my painting been at Alicante as I was worried someone would ruin it but the teachers would not let the troublemakers anywhere near something that was so important. Someone had also found out Mortal Instruments would be playing and it spread like wildfire around the school. That was the thing about my school gossip is what kept everyone entertained and if one person knew something then everyone knew it. Rumours spread very easily thanks to this, I was lucky enough to never have a rumour spread about me and tried to stay out of the whole thing.

All day everyone was wishing us luck and it was getting tiring by lunch. We were sat around our usual table, Simon had his eyes closed while playing an invisible bass guitar and I knew he was going over the new song. We had managed to learn it really well but I knew he was nervous about messing up. Jordan and Maia were off in their own little couple world and the sight was sickening why did they have to be so soppy. Eric, Kirk and Matt were I a deep conversation about some new video game that they had all just got, from what I could tell Matt was not very good at it while Eric was brilliant and Magnus kept flicking his eyes to me.

"Do you want to tell me why you keep looking at me then going into deep thought?" I asked.

"Well, I don't trust you to dress yourself from the showcase I mean we have an image to keep up," at this my eyebrow rose while Magnus just grinned "So I have some outfits for you to wear and I'm deciding which one I'm putting you in."

"You know we have an hour after school before we need to be at Alicante right."

"That gives me enough time to get you ready," Magnus grinned.

"What about the guys?" I asked drawing the attention of everyone on our table.

Magnus looked each of them up and down while they looked worried before he turned back to me with a smirk on his face.

"They look fine but you the singer and therefore need to look your best."

"Jordan sings too," I said grumpily.

"Yeah but I always look good," Jordan said cockily.

Looking around the table everyone was nodding in agreement and I knew that I had no choice but to agree.

"Fine," I huffed.

That was when the popular crowd sauntered over to our table, Seelie Queen the Queen bee and her sidekick Kaelie Whitewillow along with Meliorn and Raphael. They leaned against the table with Raphael right next to me.

"I heard you are performing at the showcase," Seelie said with a smile that I could not tell whether or not it was fake.

"Err, yeah," Jordan frowned not understanding what was going on.

"Well I think we do to do something to get back at them for their prank yesterday and you are in prime position," Raphael smirked leaning up to me even more.

"We don't get involved in the prank war, we will get them back by been better than there band," said Clary carefully.

Raphael snorted "So you have desire to revenge your school," he challenged.

No one answered, "Fine but think about it," he huffed before walking off.

"Your mom know this probably won't work right?" asked Jordan to which Simon just shrugged.

"Yeah people will just spend the entire project arguing and fighting," I added.

Simon replied with "I know but this is my mom's last hope."

After school I got dragged to Magnus' house along with the rest of the band and Maia, though the rest of them got to wear what they wanted. I had seen my mom briefly to tell her where I was going while begging her to help me. Unfortunately for me Magnus turned up and promised he would take care of me and we would see them in two hours at Alicante Academy.

As soon as we got to his house I was sat at Magnus' vanity and he pulled out make-up and blocked the mirror. Maia started on my hair putting mousse in it and restyling the curls back in to my hair that had dropped out during the day. Magnus started my make-up as he went towards me with a brush I pulled back.

"Not too much," I pleaded.

He smiled at me and said "Don't worry Clary. Trust me."

I saw out of the corner of my eye the boys leave the room to get change into what they wanted to wear on stage. I sat grumbling as Magnus and Maia worked on my look. Maia finished first and went to get ready as the boys wandered back in the room. It took Magnus twenty minutes to do my make-up, and then he waved me into the bathroom giving me clothes and shoes to change into.

I quickly changed my outfit into the white blouse with black high-waist shorts before I turned my attention to the shoes or should I say death trap heels. I rolled my eyes and pulled out my phone. Luke answered on the second ring.

"Hello, Clary is everything alright?" he asked.

"Luke I need a favour. Magnus just handed me heels," I whined.

"I'll get your shoes don't worry I'm just leaving to deliver your painting. What about the shoes you wore today?"

"Thank you so much and Magnus has taken them off me and they won't match I'm wearing black and white."

"Okay, anything for you, see you soon."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

I hung up and carried the heels out of the bathroom along with my other clothes which I shoved into my bag.

"Clary put the heels on!" scolded Magnus.

"But I can't walk in heels."

"Please Clary for me," Magnus pouted.

I sighed "Fine," and slipped the torture devises on my feet.

I would not have to put up with them for long. Magnus waved us out of his house as everyone was ready and we started towards Alicante Academy.
