Unlocked

There he was. New. Nervous and without doubt not ready to start his senior year at a new school. How could his mother think that sending him to a new school in senior year would be a good idea? Everyone already had a place in a group and he would just spend the next year sitting alone in the cafeteria trying not to look to pitiful. Great , he thought to himself.

Walking into the building was not as scary as he thought. It was huge, sure but there were also a lot of people and they were not staring at him. 

He made his way through the halls looking down on a piece of paper that told him exactly where to go but not looking up was a bad idea he decided after bumping into someone. He fell a little bit backwards and then looked up just to see three people before him. 

On the right side stood a girl - tiny compared to the boys next to her . She looked amused while the guy next to her snorted and shove Simon away. Simon almost tripped over his own feet but luckily got saved by the other guy.

“Excuse Raphael he left his manners at home," 

"Like always,” the girl said giggling . She hooked her arm around they guy - who by the way looked like he came right out of a magazin for fabulous make up - and draggend him right with her. “Come one , Mag. We’ll be late again!" 

Magnus just winked and was on his way.

Simon just stood there. Without words. That could have been worse,he thought. He just looked after the three of them. The unfriendly guy really bugged him. Looking all smoth with his Jackett - who even wears those at school? Just when he was drifting off he felt a finger tipping against his shoulder.

He turned around a before him stood a girl. Look curly red hair ,a smile that could possibly light up a whole room.  "Hi,” she said. Next to her stood a guy. At least one head bigger. Kind of intimidating. 

“You must be Simon,”

“How do you got that? Am I wearing my I am Simon shirt? ”

“No ,” said the tall one. Grumpy .
Simon raised an eyebrow and the girl shoke her head ,still smilling.“No , I’m Clary. This is Alec. I know cause I write the school blog. I know everything!”
“No,you don’t” Alec just left the two of them and went straight into the classroom.
“He is….nice,”
“He can be , actually . He just doesnt like new people! ” She then moved her hands on Simons shoulder and moved him inside the classroom. 

He looked around and well…there were a lot of beautiful people. Is this normal? Normally there was at least one not so decent looking person. But in this class. Nope. 

“Oh right,” he murmured. He was the not so decent one. 

Clary waved and Simon made his way to sit down next to her. Of course the black haired one looked at him. Simon could swear he had the sea stuck in his eyes. 

“Stop staring. ” Alec growled and turned his head to the blackboard. Clary without Simon really noticing seemed to punched Alec in the side. He could hear him growl again.

“Just try to be nice. He is new , problably doesent know anyone and his first incounter was with Raphael!" 

Alec just shrugged his shoulder."Fine, ” he snorted and in the next moment the teacher walked hin. Tall guy. Blond. Muscles - didin’t looked very teachery . His name was Starkweather and he would teach math and history - math Simon liked ,history - not so much.

“Well, today is a party . You should totally come!" 

"But…I don’t really know anyone or have any friends .”

“You do! Me and Alec,”

“No, he really doesn't" Alec said siting down at a table in the cafeteria. Clary sat down next to him and he put her plate in front of her - like a boyfriend would,Simon thought  - which would also explain why he was so pissed at him. Maybe he was jealous? Which Simon , on the other hand, wouldn’t unterstand . Alec looked like he was picked out of a fairytall. Tall,handsome , mysterious looking.

“Earth to Simon,” Simon saw fingers snipping and he came back to earth.
“What?”
“You were totally gone for a minute. ”

“It was really nice,” There was something strange. Was that…a smirk on Alec’s Face? Simon got on his elbows and leaned over the table and looked Alec right in the face. Alec raised both his eyebrows.

“Can I help you?” he hissed.
“You just…did something weird with your face.”

Clary giggled and leaned into Alecs shoulder.“He does that especially when-” before Clary could say anything more she was cut off by Alec who shoved his elbow into her side. She just snorted and took a bite of the apple from Alec’s plate.

“So how long have you two been going out?”

The question Simon asked made both of them laugh. Loud.

“ I would know if Alexander and Clary dated,” A voice said amused. Simon looked up and there was that guy again - Magnus ,was it? - He had a smirk on his lips and than sat down next to Alec who pulled his plate away from Magnus.

The girl and the guy from before also sat down.

“Who is this kid?”
Simon looked at the guy - whose name was Raphael , if he remembered right. Raphael just glared at him with this pure disapproval . Simon really did not know where that came from.

“Do you have a problem with me?!” Simon hissed - why only god knew.
Raphael just laughed shoving a frie inside his mound. “No.”
“Alright than,” he murmured and started eating his meal . He looked around and saw all these beautiful people. Clary who was talking to Magnus about what they should wear to the party and if she wants to dress up at his place. Alec poked around in his food but looked at Magnus now and then .

“I’m Catarina btw, ” she gave Simon one of her sweetest smiles.
“Simon,”
“Where are you from?”
“Chicago,”
“Really? ” Her eyes lid up.
“Cat loves it there. We spend our whole Summer there,” Magnus said stopping the conversation with Clary. Clary also took part at the conversation.
“But it was great! ”

Alec suddenly snorted.“I got something to do. ” He stood up and left without even a look or a word.
“Is he always like that?”

Raphael did the same ,stood up and patted Magnus and Clary on the back.“I got this. ”

Simon looked after them and sighted. “What’s wrong?”
Clary looked around and seemed like she just realized something. “He…just didin’t had the best summer and we went to chicago without him.”

Catarina giggled and took one frie from Raphael ’s plate.“It’s not like you left him alone,Clary. He is eighteen. ”
“Cat,” Catarina suddenly stopped talking and now both of them looked down.
“Alright then!” Magnus clapped and stood up.“Shall we go than? One class and than we meet at my place? ”
Clary smiled bright and also clapped in her hands.“I bring Simon,”
“She brings Simon,” Simon repeated after her and she pulled out her tongue. Catarina laughed. “Than I won’t bring Raphael,” she got up a suddenly jumped on Magnus Back who turned around to go but than stopped.“Do bring Alexander,biscuit.”

Clary nodded and than turned to Simon. They were alone now.
“You want to come ,right?”

Simon laughed . Why wouldn’t he? He thought at first his first day would end with him being bored and now there were this bunch of people who weirdly liked him - exept Alec and Raphael.  

“Of course,”
“Alec is actually really great,you know. We’ve been friends for years now! ” for a second there she seemed like she would doze off in memeories.
“You’ll see!” she than stood up and pulled him up from his chair. Simon almost tripped but felt a hand against his back. He looked at Clary who seemed in shock. Slowly he turned around . A tall,blond guy was standing behind him. That kind of guy that makes you realize that you are nothing but dust.

“Missed me?” he Whispered under his breath. While Clary was starring . Without words.
