"Hay Cat." Josh says to me as we sit down in science.
"Hay! Maybe Mr. Clarson won't be here and we can talk in class." I respond
"I hope so because there was something I wanted to ask you."
"Okay. What's up?"
"Do you want to go out and get some frozen yogurt after school?"
"Today?"
"Yeah but we could reschedule if you want."
"Um no it's just that ugh my brother is super over protect-"
"Hay little sis."my brother says then looks josh up and down "Josh."
"Jared! What's up man?" Josh sticks out his hand to shake Jared's
"Um no I don't make contact with other people." Then he turns to me " dad needs us home right after school. There is supposed to be this huge family on family match in the training room."
"Oh well ok but I'm not interested. Dad knows that besides I'm going out with josh today after school."
"Ha funny but no your coming home to train."
"MAYBE I DONT WANT TO BE A SHADOW-" Jared clamps his hand over my mouth.
"Take your seat class." Mr. Clarson says. "Mr. Lightwood is there a problem?"
"No sir" he says removing his hand from my mouth. "Be careful about what you say." He warns me. Then goes and sits down at his seat.
"Soo are we still on for today after school?" Josh says
"Yeah but can we do something else?"
"Sure what?"
"How would you feel about meeting my family?"
"Um sure but is your brother going to..."
"I don't care besides odds are that my brother will be the least of your problems."
"Ha. Ha. Ha. You're kidding right? I mean your dad wouldn't... KILL me would he?"
"No. He'll just try really really hard for us not to see each other."
"Great. So basically no one in your family will like me."
"No! My mom and sister might!"
"Ok. So do you want me to walk home with you or do I come later?"
"You can walk with us sure. I usually ride the bus but if I fake that I have a question in my 7th period then i might be able to miss the bus and be forced to walk home with you."
"Ok. So should I wait out front for you?"
"No that'll be too obvious that something's up. Why don't you just go to the bike cage and I'll meet you there?"
"Ok yeah."

After 7th period I stay for 10 whole minutes talking to my teacher about today's lesson. Then I headed to the bike cage. " hay!" I welcomed Josh
"Lead the way, Madame." He says bending with an arm in front of him and behind his back.
I giggle "you are so cute." I say and we start walking to the institute. I know that I'll have to put another glamour over it so that it doesn't look like a dump but at the moment I don't mind. "So where do you live?" I ask trying to spark up a conversation.
"I live-" at that moment my phone rings.
"Sorry. I have to take this it's my dad." I say. "Hello?"
"Cat where are you?!"
"I had to walk home because I had a few questions for my teacher and missed the bus. I'm sorry."
He sighs "how far are you everyone is waiting!"
"Just a few more blocks. When you say everyone you mean... EVERYONE?"
"Magnus isn't here my dear."
"Of coarse not. But he was invited?"
"Yes."
"He is such an idiot and a jerk! First he breaks Uncle Alec's heart then he doesn't even bother to show up for something?!"
"I know. Don't bring it up ok? Alec is here."
"Ok bye see u in a few."
"K bye love you." I close my phone.
"Sorry. Dad issues."
"Got it. So I'm just asking cause when I meet them I don't want to be rude but uh your Uncle he is gay?"
"Yeah. Alec. I don't really feel like talking about it."
"Sorry."
"No it's fine. It was a good question just...ugh"
"Hay it's fine I get it. I got the same issue at my house. My Aunt." I stop all together.
"Issue?! It shouldn't be an ISSUE it's their life style!"
"I know it's just so weird to see them..."
"Never mind. Whatever. I can't believe I actually thought you could meet my family without saying something."
"Look I didn't mean it like that. I was a jerk and I'm sorry."
I look him in the eye and see that he really is sorry. It's the same look I saw in dad's eyes when he asked mom to marry him the second time. I was going to say something but at that moment he crushed his lips to mine. I don't know how or why but our lips move in perfect sync. Then he backs up. "We should get home. Sounded like your dad wants you."
"Yeah." I say breathless
We walk the rest of the way hand in hand and it's bliss!
