Idris Institute

Chapter 12

I slipped into my room, shutting the door on a smiling Jace. I got myself ready for what was going to be coming next. I took a deep breath and turned to face three people, ever waiting for details. Izzy, Magnus, and Dot were standing there looking at me.

So, life cannot get any better. Since that day, a lot has happened. Parents and families left, so we are getting back to normal. Jace and I are a couple. We had a couple dates after that day. He is so sweet and amazing. Still cocky and everything. But what can a girl do? Even some of my guy friends are coming around. Okay, just one. TJ is trying to get to know him.

"Morning, beautiful." Jace said to me when I came into the cafe for breakfast. We all headed to the cafe for breakfast.

"Morning you." I said to him.

We all order our coffee and food. This is nice. All of us hanging out together. I know Simon and I must pick a team to join soon. It should be where you live. There are two primary teams there. Alec, Jace, and Izzy are my guy friends. But I think I figured it out. I just must talk to Simon later about it. We went to the couches to relax with our food and coffee.

"I wish we didn't have to go to school. It's so boring. We need something fun or exciting to happen." Izzy said.

"Like what, Iz?" I asked her.

Honestly, I am happy with what is happening. Everything seems normal and okay. But I know that won't last with my father and brother out there somewhere. They will peek their heads out sooner or later. But I am just going to live in the moment. I will deal with them when they appear.

"I don't know. You know what? Idris is known for their balls and everything. When are they having one? Isn't they supposed to be having one soon?" Izzy said.

"I don't know. But I think a ball would be nice. Something different happens. I would love to see you in a ball dress." Jace said.

Simon couldn't help but laugh about the last part Jace said. Simon then said,

"Clary, a ball dress. We couldn't even get her to go to homecoming or anything when we used to go to mundane school."

"Is that true, Clary?" Izzy asked me.

"What? I never really cared for them. They were all the same there. So, I never went." I told them.

"Now, I must get you into a ball dress. That is my mission. Challenge accepted." Izzy said.

When we all got done, we headed back to the school. Izzy and I returned to our room to get things for classes. When we walked to our room. We realized the door was open. I looked over to Izzy, and she looked at me. I know we shut the door before we left. Even locked it.

Izzy had her whip in her hand, ready to attack whoever was in our room. I slide a seraph blade out from the boot. We headed into our room. We opened the door slowly. When the door was all the way open, there was no one there. Izzy checked the bathroom, and I checked the clothes. No one.

"We shut and locked that door before we left, right?" Izzy asked me.

"Yes. I am positive. I was the one who did it." I told her. I stood there looking around the room to see if anything was missing.

Everything looked like it was all there. So, Izzy and I just pushed it aside to worry about later. We must head to classes before we are late. We walked out the door. I took one more glance around before shutting and locking our door. Before we left, I wanted to do something just in case. This doesn't feel right. I then drew a ruin on our door. Izzy trusted what I was doing. We then headed to classes.

The day was long but didn't drag out. But the whole day, I couldn't stop thinking about Izzy's and my room door being open and unlocked. Mostly when I know I did lock it and shut it on my way out. Izzy and I have kept it to ourselves.
