Alec POV
I opened my eyes slowly. My alarm was going off, the bleeps making me cringe as they split my head in two. I looked at the time. 09:46 am. Shit. I sat up quickly, then held my head in my hands as I became aware of the severity of my head ache. What the hell had happened to make me feel this bad? Then I realised. It was a hangover, which was odd in itself. I rarely ever drank, and when I did, I only drank a little, not enough to make my head spin and leave me hungover the next day.
Suddenly, everything came flying back to me. Jace, Izzy and I had been at a club, chasing a stupid demon. We had just killed it when some red-haired girl came over to us and start talking to Jace. He had looked at her like... like she was the most gorgeous thing in the world. They immediately went off together, leaving me and Izzy alone. I had felt a sudden pain in my chest as I wished I could be the one in his arms instead. It wasn't fair: I had known him for longer than her, yet she had captured him immediately. I'd turned around to tell Izzy that I was going to leave when I saw her with some random guy. I tried to get her to leave with me, but she wasn't having any of it and had just told me to go and have fun. How the hell would I have had fun in that sort of place? After that she left and I vaguely remember getting dragged off by some guy to the bar and letting him buy me a few drinks. He had then seemed to think that because of that, he could have sex with me. When I told him to fuck off, he punched me in the stomach and left me there like I was some sort of trash. Which I am. I mean, I fell in love with my adoptive brother. Even I'm disgusted at myself.
I sighed and got out of bed. I was finishing getting dressed when Izzy barged in.
"Alec."
"What?"
I wasn't in the mood to listen to her problems right now.
"Dad wants to speak to us. Now."
I looked at her and saw the dread in her eyes. I wondered what he wanted. He rarely spoke to me, only to Izzy and Jace.
We left my room and made our way to the library. Jace was already there when we entered, and he looked just as confused as we were.
Our father was stood at a desk, looking very annoyed. He watched Izzy and I silently as we walked up to Jace. When we were stood in front of him, he began to speak.
"I understand that last night, you went on a mission and failed?"
The three of us remained silent, knowing that he was not looking for an answer.
"As well as that, you refrained from returning to the Institute and stayed out all night supposedly having fun instead?"
Again we remained silent. Anything we said would just make things worse.
"And you didn't think to inform us?"
His voice was growing louder as he spoke, and we flinched at the volume and the anger in his voice.
"I hope," He continued, his voice resentful, "That you learn from your actions and never make this mistake again."
We all nodded fearfully.
He wasn't done though.
"Of course, I will have to punish you for this. You almost exposed us to the demons by getting drunk and not thinking properly. Your punishment is to attend a public high school and keep an eye on things for us."
We all cringed and groaned inwardly. This meant that we would lose our current freedom. I looked at Jace and Izzy and saw that they didn't look too upset. This was probably a great opportunity for them, to be social with people their age. For me, it meant that I would be forced out of my comfort zone and forced to things that I hate.
Our father had one more thing to say.
"You will be attending St Francis Xavier school, which is private. Hopefully, this will put you back on track."
He then dismissed them. When I had closed the door behind me, we all sighed heavily.
"Well, this will be interesting," Jace stated. Izzy nodded in agreement. I just sighed again and regretted all the things I did last night. At least no one had discovered that I had been "flirting" with a guy. If our father found out, I would most likely be disowned.

A/N - OK, hello everyone (if anyone is actually reading this). So this will be my first real fanfic. Like romance and stuff. I hope it goes OK. I think this is really bad but maybe you don't. Who knows (you obviously). If you think I should change anything, just comment about and stuff. I welcome any constructive criticism :) I have a question for whoever is reading this. Should I make it omegaverse? I think it would be cool, but I don't know about anyone else. Please help!
