Reverse (Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern fanfic)

I make a new friend

"Izzy! Jace! Clary! Simon!" I screamed desperately waiting for an response but none came. And again I was completely and utterly alone in the institute. Even Maryse  was in Idris for an super-secretive-only-the-head-of-institute-allowed meeting. She isn't even the head anymore- Jace is, but she practically forced Jace into letting her go instead of him. I barely see Alec anymore, ever since after the wedding he moved into Magnus' apartment with Max and Rafe. I sometimes go over to Magnus' to hang out with Max and Rafe, I like hanging out with them even though they are still little, it almost makes me want a sibling. Every time I go over to his house Magnus always nags me about how I can't just causally pop in their house without an invitation and then goes over to Alec to taunt him about how he knew giving me the key to their house is a responsibility that I couldn't handle. But I know he loves me, somewhere deep deep inside his heart I know I claim a spot. Then there is Simon who never seems to leave, he had decided to stay in the institute after they got married. He is always here with Isabelle talking about some new nerd thing he was into at that moment and Izzy always listens no matter how clueless she was. One time I saw her researching information on World of Warcraft, she threatened me that if I ever told anyone she could cut off my hair in my sleep but I thought It was a cute gesture. And then there was Jace, when he wasn't being couple annoying with Clary, he was being over protective annoying with me.

My stomach growled with hunger and so I made my way into the kitchen. I was disappointed to find that there were no food left for me and Jace guzzled down all the leftovers. I guess I will have to make something, I see flour and eggs and think of pancakes, they can't be that hard to make right? I grabbed all random ingredients and mixed them together, by the end of it the batter was looking extra chunky. I didn't let that bother me, I grabbed a pan and threw some batter on it. I wanted to make them crispy so I left it on the pan longer, much much longer than needed. As I went to flip the pancake it lit on fire. I panicked I didn't know what to do, it wasn't until someone drenched the pancake in water.

"Izzy I think I found someone who is worse at cooking than you" someone said from behind

"Jace! My cooking is not that bad, is it Simon?" Izzy  walked in with the clicking of her heels

"Well, I mean..." Simon was trying to be careful with his words

I quickly turned around and saw Jace leaning against the platform smirking like usual.

"'Oh thanks Jace you saved my life, you're my hero' would be nice" Jace said

"This is all your fault" I glared at him

"That is exactly the opposite of what I was expecting"

"You always leave me to rot away in this institute while you go out there and have really cool fights with demons. I am going to be 18 in a year they would expect me to go and fight in wars. How am I supposed to do that when you won't even let fight a small demon."

"First of all the clave put you on probation for your little side business and second of all we were at Magnus' which bring me to my third point—I have a present for you"

Alec was standing there looking nervously at Magnus stood there staring at me with a big smile, so you know he was up to something. Next to him was a boy about my age, he looked like an older version of Max but his skin was the color of the sky and his hair was as dark as the night.

"You got me a pet warlock?" I finally said breaking the silence

"She is obviously kidding" Simon reassured the boy

"No I am not"

"Well enough chit chat, this is Oliver and Catarina dropped him at my place because he is useless with magic and people don't seem to realize my home is not a refuge center. The point is that I can't have him sulking around my house 24/7, so I have decided to get him a new friend, you" Alas, Magnus was put to something

"Why me?"

"Because you also don't have any friends and are always sulking in the institute, it was a match made in heaven. Anyways I have to leave I don't trust Rafe alone with Max, not after what happened last time" with a poof a portal appeared and he was gone taking Alec with him and leaving behind a small remnant  of glitter on the floor

"Ummm.... I am Oliver" the boy- I mean Oliver spoke

"I am Rona Blackwright, nice to me-" before I finish my sentence Jace cuts me off

"You guys should bond over by cleaning the kitchen"

"Aren't you going to help?"

"No can do Rons, I am meeting Clary at the movies"

"What about Izzy and Simon?"

"I said I wanted the kitchen clean, not in worse condition then it is now" Izzy wacks Jace on back of his head.

"Besides they are joining me and Clary at the movies" Jace continued

"I think you guys forgot to invite me"

"I think you forgot that you aren't supposed to leave the institute for another week"

"This is so unfair!"

"I will pick you up some fries from Taki's" I hate that he always knew how to make me feel better. With that said all of them left, leaving me alone with the warlock boy.

"The kitchen is this way" I said as we made our way into the kitchen. The kitchen was a mess the water was still running in the sink and now overflowing, there was the chunky pancake batter spilled all over the floor, and the sliver pan now appeared black due to the fire.

"I will handle this" the warlock boy snapped his fingers and everything was in prestige condition, he even got rid of the brown stain on the floor Izzy and I made when we tried to cook grilled cheese.

"Woah I guess you're not that useless with magic" I continue, "which gives us just enough time to make some deliveries, come on!"
