Alec Pov- I stood in front of the full length mirror looking over my black holy sweater and dark jeans. Like every day this was as good as it was going to get. I'm sure if I actually tried to put some effort into my appearance I could catch someone's eye but I rather be comfortable then be noticed. It didn't really matter anyway because I was a nobody... literately, that was the label I was stuck having at school.
Like every High school mine had cliques. Poplars', jocks, fashionista's, musicians, artists, geeks, and lastly nerds. Then there was me, the 'nobody', the one who is there but not really there because everyone acts like I'm not there. I may dress like a geek but I actually don't like any of that video game, anime, fandom stuff. I'm smart enough to be a nerd but I don't really act like one so they also ignore me.
Even most of the teachers forget I'm there half the time and most days I get asked if i'm a new student since I never really leave an impression on them. I would be completely invisible if not for my little sister Isabelle. She also goes to my high school and though she doesn't associate with me there she makes sure I know how much i mean to her outside of school. At school though she was one of the top fashionista's and everyone looked to her for fashion advice. She's tried to make me over more times then I could count but I never gave her the satisfaction.
"Alec come on, we're going to be late" Isabelle yelled from downstairs making me sigh. I really hated going to school. "Coming" I called back before grabbing my favorite gray beanie and putting it on my head. I grabbed my book bag before going downstairs not surprised to see my sister standing at the bottom of them with her usual judgmental gaze. "Seriously Alec would it kill you to at least brush your hair? You look like you're homeless for Christ sake's."
I shrugged not really caring "I like how I dress." "That's the problem" She sighed shaking her head before turning heading outside. "You're a senior Alec, do you really want to graduate having no one remember you?" I shrugged following her and getting in my car, starting it "I don't really care if I'm not remembered Izzy. I need to be me, I won't change myself just to fall into a category that isn't even important."
She gasped loudly looking at me like I was crazy "The Categories are too important Alec, your future bosses will look at who you were in high school and they won't be very impressed that you're a hermit." I rolled my eyes "One, I am not a hermit and two, they will look at my perfect grades not wither or not I made friends." She sighed shaking her head as we pulled out of the drive way "Bosses look for people skills Alec. You can't even go to the front of the class without passing out or throwing up."
She had a good point there, I had horrible people skills. It's probably best that almost no one notices me because if anyone tried to be my friend I wouldn't know how to deal with it. "Having people skills has nothing to do with cliques Izzy. How about you worry less about me and more about your feud with Camille Belcourt."
She made a disgusted noise in the back of her throat "That girl may be the top fashionista at Idris High for now but I will take that title soon enough." I shrugged "You'll get the title after she graduates this year." "That's not a satisfying victory though Alec. I'll beat her this year before time runs out you can count on that."
She crossed her arms looking out the window "She has an unfair advantage though, her parents get her clothes from Paris and London. The most dad will get me is a hundred dollar dress from the Gap." "A hundred dollars is way to much to be spending on just a dress." "There's no such thing as 'to much' for a dress Alec."
I rolled my eyes pulling into the school parking lot "We really are very different baby sister." She shrugged pulling her compact mirror out of her purse and checking her make up "Max is more like you." "No Max is a 'Geek' and when he goes into high school he will be labeled as such. I'm sure he will be the king of the Geeks."
She laughed closing her compact "That's so true." These cliques have been around forever but the 'Nobody' was made just for me. Since I was so socially awkward no one really tried to bring me into their group so I became the outcast, the nobody. In a way I guess I would graduate being remembered as the guy who made a new clique label but that's not very satisfying.
I looked around the parking lot hoping to find a parking spot close to the school entrance and I smiled spotting one. I turned quickly to get the spot but got cut off by a black mustang making a sharp turn into my spot. "What the hell" Isabelle yelled leaning over and slamming her hand on my horn. I grabbed her hand rolling my eyes "knock it off Izzy."
She glared at me "You're going to let them get away with that?" "It happens all the time it doesn't matter" I mumbled watching the rude driver get out of his car. It was no surprise to see Jonathan Morgenstern the most popular guy (asshole) in school and his bitch of a girlfriend Seelie. Every school has a power couple but in Idris's case every clique had one.
Jonathan and Seelie were the king and queen of the popular's and demanded to be treated as such. Jace Herondale was the prince of the jocks, the reason for this being there were no female sports teams in our school and you weren't allowed to date outside your clique. Simon Lewis and Maia Roberts were the king and queen of the geeks, Will Herondale was the prince of the musicians, Clary Fray was the princess of the artists, and I never really kept track on who was in charge of the nerds.
"Alec stop spacing out and find a parking spot already" Isabelle said pulling me out of my thoughts. "Sorry" I said turning the car around and finding a spot further from the front door. Once we parked we got out of the car and my sister went ahead to meet up with some of her fashionista friends. The fashionistas were the third highest group on the popularity scale right under the popular's and the jocks. There was a good number of boys and girls in that category and there was a king and queen in that group as well.
I got inside and walked to my locker thinking about the leaders of the fashionistas. Camille Belcourt was the queen with her curly blonde hair and designer clothes and hang bags. It was obvious why Isabelle was so jealous of her, she was fabulous. I opened my locker frowning moving my thoughts away from the fashion queen and onto the fashion king.
"Magnus, looking good as always" One of the fashionista girls standing close by said smiling. I looked at the entrance watching the fashion king Magnus Bane make his way down he hallway. He looked gorgeous as always wearing purple skinny jeans, a lighter sparkly purple tang top, and a black unbuttoned vest. His make up was dark eyeliner and three different shades of purple eye shadow making his eyes pop.
Magnus's eyes popped even without Makeup though because he always had in contacts that made his eyes look like cat eyes. They even changed shape when the light hit them the right way. Magnus Bane was gorgeous, one of the most gorgeous people in school but there was a problem... okay two problems. Even though he wore make up Magnus didn't date a lot of fact he's currently dating Camille Belcourt.
Magnus stopped at his locker next to mine putting in his combo and opening the door blocking me from his view. I sighed looking back in my locker completely used to this by now. The second problem was that I was completely invisible to Magnus. At least Jonathan Morgenstern knew I existed (constantly making me the target of his bullying and abuse) but I could stand in front of Magnus's face and he still wouldn't see me.
"Magnus there you are, did you finish our report for English class" Camille asked walking up to Magnus. He looked at her "Camille it wasn't a group project." She pouted "But you did it for me anyway didn't you Magnus?" He sighed pulling out another paper and handing it to her "Of course I did." she took it before kissing his cheek smiling "You're so sweet baby."
Magnus closed his locker door rolling his eyes before smiling at Camille "I know." Camille handed him her books before they walked away to class. "you might want to read that paper Camille, we have to present them in front of the class today" Magnus said as they walked away. I froze up terrified, present? talk in front of the class? I was horrible at talking in front of the class.
I took deep breaths needing to calm down, maybe this will be one of those days where I'm not noticed and I don't have to present. Then again Jonathan is in my class and I'm sure he would point me out eventually. I shook my head sighing "suck it up Alec, you can make it through this day just like you make it through every other day." I closed my locker before walking to class using every inch of self control I had not to run away.
I walked into class and went to my seat in the back of the room where I liked it. It helps me stay unnoticed and it also gives me a great view of Magnus Bane who always sits in the front next to his girlfriend. Once everyone was here and seated our English teacher Mr. Hodge looked around the room saying "I hope all of you did your report." Everyone mumbled either yes or no and he shook his head before looking around again "Who should present first?"
I slouched down into my chair not wanting to be chosen but it seems that was the wrong move to make because it caught his attention. "Alexander you can go first." "Who" Jace Herondale asked leaning back in his chair and Jonathan Morgenstern laughed slightly "The little scrap that always sits in the back." I could have argued with him saying that I was in fact taller then him but I chose just to stay quiet.
Jace looked back at me meeting my eyes for the first time ever "Oh... I never noticed him before." Jonathan laughed again "Why would you? He's a nobody." that made everyone laugh and I frowned just wanting to shrink into nothing.
"Well Mr. Lightwood come up here and present your paper." I swallowed hard standing up and I made my way to the front of the room trying not to panic. Jonathan put out his foot as I walked up and I tripped over it falling forward. I didn't want to land on my face so I reached out for anything that might help me stay up, but as if my luck couldn't get worse I grabbed a hand full of Magnus's hair making him yelp in pain as I pulled him to the ground with me.
Everyone laughed again watching us and Jonathan smirked saying innocently "Oops, my bad" before laughing with Jace. I quickly let go of Magnus's hair and sat up on my knees "I... I'm sorry..." "What the hell is wrong with you" Magnus yelled rubbing his head not even looking at me. "I-it w-was and accident." "Well next time fall without grabbing me" He snapped before standing up and sitting back in his seat, fixing his hair.
I watched him frowning before standing up making my way to the front of the room. I stood in front of the board looking at my feet for I wouldn't have to look at the students. "Okay start Alexander" Mr. Hodge said sitting at his desk. I clenched onto my sweater tightly "Um...uh... m-my re-port-" "Stop stuttering" Jonathan called out making the class snicker.
I closed my eyes and mumbled "My report is about-" "Can you speak up Alexander" Mr. Hodge sighed. I glanced at him before forcing myself to look at the students who were all staring me down like a hawk. I could feel the walls closing in around me as I looked at their intense eyes. I wasn't used to having all these eyes on me and the pressure of it was over whelming. I covered my mouth with my hand feeling like I was going to be sick and I ran out of the room going to throw up.
Magnus Pov- I walked out of fourth period still rubbing my head from the pain on having my hair pulled this morning. "It's been three hours and it still hurts. He clenched on for dear life, I'm shocked I don't have a bald spot." Camille laughed being as unsympathetic as always and I rolled my eyes at her "it's not funny" I said looking at her.
She shrugged "he's a Nobody just forget about him." That made me frown "I heard we had someone labeled like that but I didn't think it was real. I thought it was just a rumor." "No he's real but like his name suggests no one cares enough to remember him."
"Well that's just sad, he can't possibly like being labeled that way." Camille shrugged "Who knows and who cares." I walked into the cafeteria with her "I forgot who I was talking to"I sighed sitting at our assigned table. Every clique had their own tables so we wouldn't be forced to sit with others outside our clique.
My table consisted of Camille, myself, Helen Blackthorn, and Isabelle Lightwood. Us four were the coolest in our clique so we got the best table. Camille looked around and grunted hearing the sound of a violin "James Carstairs is playing his violin again. Can't those musicians learn not to play their annoying music during lunch?" "I think Jame's music is nice" I said looking over at the lead musicians table.
That table was taken over by James Carstairs, William Herondale, and Jordan Kyle. Will Herondale was an amazing pianist who has won competitions all over the world. They say that he's a child prodigy and is the next Beethoven. "You used to be in that group in middle school" I said looking at Camille.
Camille frowned "That was back when I was young and naive." "You're an amazing singer Camille" I said watching her but she just shrugged. "The past is past, besides if you want to look back at middle school cliques the I got you beat. You were a nerd in middle school."
It was true I was a huge nerd in middle school, not the ugly dressed chest club nerd but the super smart inventing things nerd. "All your old friends from middle school are still nerds right" Camille asked laughing. I frowned looking at the Nerd table seeing my old friends Ragnor Fell, Catarina Loss, and Tessa Gray. They were all amazing people who will do amazing things one day.
Ragnor dreams of becoming a scientist, Catarina a doctor so she can save the world and Tessa wishes to help kids in Africa. We all planned out out dreams together but once we got into high school I abandoned them. "I don't understand how you even became a Nerd anyway, you're not even that smart, you're barely getting A's." I laughed nervously "Yeah that's crazy huh?"
The truth was I was insanely smart, like super smart but I couldn't let that show if I wanted to be a fashionista. To be a fashionista you had to be... well kind of dumb. All you're supposed to think about is what you're wearing, what to wear tomorrow, and what fashion school to go to. Other smart things I used to care about don't matter anymore... well they still matter but I'm not allowed to think they matter.
When I was a nerd I focused on robotics, physics, and inventing things that could benefit the world but then I got into fashion and all my priorities changed. Being smart wasn't getting me where I wanted to go so I dropped the title of Nerd and dropped my friends along with it. I reinvented myself and made some new friends, I even got a girlfriend. The only thing I regret is leaving things the way I did with Ragnor, Catarina, and Tessa. They really are amazing people they didn't deserve that.
"Look who decided to show his face" Camille said pointing to the cafeteria doors. I looked over seeing the boy who pulled me down with him earlier "Oh that guy" I groaned rolling my eyes. "Who does he think he is pulling me down with him like that? It hurt like hell and came out of no where. He could have damaged my gorgeous hair."
"Jonathan tripped him so it wasn't really his fault if you think about it" Camille said smiling at a boy who brought her a french salad and some leaf tea. "I guess that's true, I can't stand that guy why is he so popular?" "Cause he looks like a dark angel who was carved out of marble" Camille said shrugging. I sighed messing with the potatoes on my plate with my fork "I can't argue with that, him and Seelie together are just a powerful force."
I looked back at the boy who pulled me down seeing him sit at a table by himself in the corner. Not only have I never noticed the 'Nobody' but I never noticed that table either. I looked around at all the other cliques but not a single person was looking at the poor guy, it was as if he wasn't even there. "What did Mr. Hodge say his name was again?" Camille shrugged eating her salad "Like I cared enough to remember."
"His name is Alexander Lightwood but he likes being called Alec, he's my big brother" Isabelle Lightwood said not looking away from her phone. I looked at her, then Alec, then back at her again shocked "How is he related to you? How can anyone that unfashionable be related to you?" Isabelle Lightwood was skinny jeans, silk tops and legs for days. Alec Lightwood was holy dumpster sweater, old dark blue jeans, and a beanie that made his hair fall in front of his face.
Isabelle sighed shaking her head and putting down her phone "I tried so many times to make him over but he wouldn't have it." I looked back at him thinking "I bet I could do it." That made Isabelle, Camille and Helen all laugh. "What you think I can't" I asked insulted.
"Nope" Camille said still laughing "you seriously think you can make the nobody into a somebody?" I frowned not liking being questioned and I smirked "I won't just make him into a somebody, i'll turn him into thee somebody." That made them all gasp and Isabelle leaned forward "You think you can make my brother popular enough to take Jonathan Morgenstern's title as king?" I nodded crossing my arms "Without a doubt."
That was a complete lie, I had nothing but doubts but I wasn't going to let them laugh at me like that. Helen Blackthorn laughed finally saying something for the first time today "Prepared to put your money where your mouth is?" I nodded "What did you have in mind?" Camille and Helen both put fifty dollars on the table "If you make Alec Lightwood the most popular boy in school in a month then you can have this money, but if you fail you have to pay us instead." I smirked "You're on."
They put their money away and I looked at Isabelle "Are you going to get in on this?" She shook her head no "I feel wrong betting on my brother like he's a horse. Besides there's no way you'll win. He's stubborn and refuses to change himself." "You just haven't tried that hard" I said getting up and going over to Alexander.
Alec Pov- I picked at my food thinking over how I was already having the worst day of my life. Magnus Bane must hate me now, any hope of my ever getting with him was flushed down the toilet along with all the vomit I spumed after my failed attempt at talking in front of the class. I ran my hand through my bangs feeling completely exhausted, what was the point of even coming to school anyway? Isabelle was right I had no people skills and I never will no matter how much time passes.
"Hey" A smooth familiar voice in front of me said. I ignored it for a long moment before I noticed it was addressed to me. I looked up at who would talk to me and literately froze seeing it was Magnus. Was he coming to fully yell at me? Was he going to make a scene in front of everyone?
Even so I needed to take this time to apologize, who knew if he would ever talk to me again. "Um... I'm sorry about earlier. I tripped and grabbed what ever I could and... I'm just so sorry." I expected him to yell but he just smiled sitting down across from me. As his butt settled on the bench everyone's eyes in the room went directly on us as if they felt a disturbance in the clique force.
He held out his hand as if to shake mine "I'm Magnus Bane, like you didn't already know; and I want to be your friend." I was caught speechless, he seriously said he wanted to be my friend? He kept his hand out still expecting a shake but I was to stunned to move. Once he saw that I wasn't going to shake his hand anytime soon he dropped it on the table laughing awkwardly "Right well, what's you're name?"
I leaned on my elbows patting down my bangs for they would be covering my eyes, I couldn't bring myself to look at him "Um... it's Alec" I mumbled a little to lowly. He leaned forward smiling "Sorry what was that?" I forced myself to look at him but I could barely see him passed my hair "My name is Alec Lightwood" I said this time loud enough for him to hear it. He was silent for a long moment before getting wide eyed and standing up, leaning over the table and pushing my bangs back looking right into my eyes "Oh wow."
I felt my face get hot and I pulled away quickly brushing my bangs back in front of my eyes "Why did you do that" I asked softly. He smiled "Your eyes are amazing, that blue is so rare you must be wearing contacts." I shook my head no "No they're my real eyes... I have my fathers eyes." He smiled "it's a shame Isabelle doesn't share your eyes I'm sure it would send her higher up on the popularity scale, now that I think about it it'll send you up higher as well."
I shook my head looking down again "I don't want to be popular." That made Magnus frown "Why wouldn't you want to be popular?" I shrugged grabbing my fork and picking at my salad "it's better to stay unnoticed... and you sitting here is having the opposite effect." He blinked looking around and as I said everyone's eyes were on us. They were glaring not liking the balance of the school system being so easily disturbed.
Magnus shrugged before turning back to me smiling "Oh who cares what they think, I want to be your friend and I won't let some stupid clique thing get in the way of that." I felt myself blushing again "You really want to be my friend?" He nodded "of course you seem like a really nice guy." He held out his hand again smiling "Will you be my friend Alec?"
I stared at his hand hesitating before reaching over and grabbing his hand shaking it "Sure... I'll be your friend." He smiled before letting go of my hand and standing up "great after school we will get started doing friend stuff together, let's start with getting our hair done." I blinked confused "seriously?" He nodded waving "See you then Alec" He said turning around going back to his table.
I rubbed my arms looking around wondering if that really just happened. I stopped my gaze on Jonathan Morgenstern who was staring at me, whispering to Seelie who was also watching me. She giggled from whatever Jonathan said before they both turned away going to back ignoring me along with everyone else.
"This is your car" Magnus asked with disgust looking over my rusty old clunker of a car. I shrugged "It may not look that great but it runs fine enough to get me where I need to go. Don't you have a car?" He sighed opening the passenger door of my car and putting his book bag inside "Yes I do but my father's keeping it hostage till I 'get my life together'" He said putting air quotes around those words.
I got in my car looking at him "Why does he say that?" He sighed getting in the car "He doesn't like my dream of being a fashion designer, he says only fags do that." The word fag made me flinch. That word always made me uncomfortable especially when my own father used it.
"You didn't always want to be a designer... in fact in middle school you wanted to win a noble prize for changing air pollution." He looked at me shocked "How did you know that? Only my old friends knew about that." I blushed looking down and clenching onto my steering wheel "Um... I paid close attention to people in middle school. That's when I still thought I could make friends."
Magnus looked at me before running his fingers through my hair pushing it up out of my eyes "You know if you got a hair cut and changed your clothes you could be a little presentable." I pulled away from him "I like the way I look, why would I change myself to gain friends?" Magnus shrugged "You're not changing yourself you're just choosing to look good. I'll be honest with you Alec I have never noticed you before today." He didn't have to tell me that, it was pretty obvious already.
"You don't say" I asked pulling out of the school parking lot. He nodded "yes but I'm sure if you didn't hide behind your hair and clothes I would have." I glanced at him frowning "So if I was someone other than myself I would have been noticed by you? No offense but you're really rude."
He seemed stunned at my bluntness but I couldn't help it. If I wasn't too nervous to talk to you then I was usually telling you how it is. I don't know how not to be blunt. "I didn't mean to insult you Alexander" Magnus said watching me frowning.
I wasn't used to having someone care wither or not they hurt my feelings. Even my sister never really apologized when she insulted me so the whole thing was alien to me. "Um... it's okay. You don't have to call me Alexander you know. Only my parents and teachers call me that, I like to be called Alec."
Magnus smiled leaning back in his seat looking straight ahead at the road "I like Alexander better, it has a nice ring to it." I looked at the road again sighing "What ever you say... so where are we going?" He smiled happy again "To the mall of course, we're getting our hair done remember?" I felt my face get hot now embarrassed "Um, how exactly do you get to the mall?"
He looked back at me shocked "You don't know how to get to the mall?" "Well excuse me but some people have better things to do then waste their time at the mall." Magnus put his hand over his heart as if my words wounded him "How could you say such a thing?" I shrugged "I just don't like the mall is all."
He crossed his arms disapprovingly "Have you ever even been to the mall Alexander?" I bit my lip at that question but kept quiet. He nodded "I thought so. Don't knock the place when you have never even been there."
I rolled my eyes "My sister is there everyday that's evidence enough that the place isn't for me." He shook his head and looked at the road again "Fine I'll tell you how to get there." I rolled my eyes listening to him and going everywhere to told me to go. Once we pulled into the mall parking lot I was shocked at how many people were there.
The lot was so full of cars it looked almost impossible to find a parking space. "Tell me again why you like coming here" I asked looking around. He rolled his eyes this time and pointed to an empty parking spot "That's my assigned parking spot so go there." I looked at him shocked "You come here so much that they gave you your own spot?" "Of course not, my father owns the mall along with many other buildings in this city."
It was true, my father always talked about how the Bane family was slowly starting to gain control of every company in town. "Are you going to take over these businesses after graduation" I asked pulling into his parking spot. He shook his head no rummaging around in his purse for something. For some reason it didn't surprise me that Magnus had a purse yet somehow he was straight?
"My father wants me to take over but I have dreams of my own to think about. Why should I follow his dreams instead of my own?" I shook my head "I completely understand. My fathers the same way."
I turned off the car pulling out my keys and Magnus pulled out a tag that looked like a handicap sticker only it had Magnus's name on it instead of a wheel chair. He stuck it on my mirror before getting out of the car "With the sticker you won't get your car totaled for being in my spot." I got out of the car looking around and Magnus grabbed my wrist pulling me inside smiling "This is going to be a good experience for you Alexander." I frowned feeling worse and worse every moment "Well I don't know about that."
He smiled looking back at me "Oh come on, everyone at school comes to the mall." That made me frown "I'm sorry was that supposed to make me feel better? Because I think it had the opposite effect." Magnus rolled his eyes smiling pulling me inside "Just look around and see if anything you like catches your eye."
I looked around frowning and stopped my gaze on the food court seeing everyone there was from my school and like at school they were divided by cliques. "So even outside of school cliques still matter" I asked not so sure why I was so shocked. Magnus shrugged grabbing my wrist again and pulling me down one of the many hallways "You could say that yes, why wouldn't they all be together after school?" I shrugged thinking it was such a waste.
Out of school is where people could really spread their wings and meet new people. Isabelle said that I didn't have people skills and that's true but your clique won't be there after you graduate. What if your future boss was a nerd, or is someone completely opposite from you? How would you go about talking to that person if you don't know how they tick?
"I can see the wheels in your head turning Alexander" Magnus said pulling me into a hair salon. I blinked getting out of my head and looked at him "Excuse me?" He shrugged sitting me down in a salon chair "You seem to get lost inside your head easily." I blushed looking down "Oh well... yeah."
Magnus shrugged and looked at a girl with long white hair standing by him "Let's give him the full package." I frowned looking back at him "The full what?" The girl smiled grabbing me by the shoulders and making me sit back "relax sir, you're in great hands with me." Magnus smiled "She's my number one stylist Belladonna."
I looked between them "Wait a second what's going on here?" Magnus smiled "I told you Alexander, we're getting our hair done." The girl smiled "And with the full package you'll also get a full make over." That made me frown and stand up "Oh no that's not happening."
Magnus grabbed my shoulders pushing me back into the chair "sorry Alexander but this is for your own good. You'll still be yourself you'll just be you with a better sense of style." I looked up at him not happy one bit "Why does it matter to you? I'm the nobody and I'm fine with staying the nobody."
Magnus met my eyes for a moment before smiling "I think you can do better Alexander." I could feel myself blushing again "Really?" He nodded smiling "Of course and just imagine all the girls you will get." That made me lose the blush and look in the mirror frowning "Oh... right."
The girl watched me thinking before gently shoving Magnus aside "You go shopping or something darling, I can handle this." Magnus looked at her "You sure Belladonna?" she nodded "Come back in a couple hours and be surprised." He smiled and nodded before looking at me "you're in good hands Alexander."
I watched him walk out before looking back at Belladonna. "so... you're going to make me look presentable?" She smiled running her hands through my hair "That I am." She leaned down looking at our reflections in the mirror "So you have a crush on Magnus Bane huh?"
My face was tomato red "No!" She smiled sweetly "there's no point in lying to me Alec I could see it all over your face. You like Magnus and want him to like you back. This make over will do that for you."
I frowned looking at myself in the mirror "I want him to like me for me... not for a fake version of me that everyone seems to want." Belladonna smiled leaning up "It all starts with a make over and sure people will be impressed and Magnus will be impressed. But new hair and new clothes only lasts for a day, after that there's you, Alec and Magnus will see that in time. He'll know you for who you are and he'll definitely fall for you."
I looked away "What about Camille?" She laughed at that "Please Camille doesn't love Magnus everyone can see that." "Everyone but Magnus" I mumbled leaning back in the chair. She smiled having me stand up "Believe me Alec you will be the one with Magnus in the end, you already gained me as a friend and I don't like people so easily. You're perfect for Magnus."
I looked at her "really?" She nodded "Of course, let's get started okay? First we'll wash your hair and trim it a bit then we will get you some new clothes." I bit my lip thinking about it before nodding "Okay... let's do it."
