A/N Sorry for the format and thanks for telling me about it. XD

Thanks for all the reviews and comments!

Chapter one

The students were all milling around the notice boards, looking at the notice which was plastered everywhere. He wondered they were whispering about, and since they were doing a horrible job at being discreet, Alec could guess that it was about himself. He also had a sneaking suspicion of what it was about.

Then he had to stop himself from blushing at the sight in front of him.

In the posters, all he could see was his name. At the front, not as the choir person he expected to be, but the lead singer. He felt his face flaming at the same time as he heard a girl say, 'He looks so hot. Why didn't I notice him before?' 'He only came yesterday, Lydia,' Alec could almost feel them rolling their eyes.

The bell rang just then, and for the first time in his life, he was glad for it. The crowd gathered around the notice board quickly dispersed, leaving Alec to walk alone to the classroom without meeting Jace and Izzy. Again.

Biology period Alec was found talking with Clary Fray, discussing about him being chosen as the lead singer in the band, (which, needless to say, he was quite happy about, after the shock had worn off he was quite pleased about it, which was hardly the point.)'Alec, you know you deserved the spot,' Clary was saying.

'Yeah I know,' said Alec, dropping his face into his hands. He knew that everyone was probably whispering about them being together, but he couldn't care less. It was as far fro the truth as it could get, without it being that ridiculous.

'Alec?' Clary asked.

'Yes?' He asked distractedly, his thoughts still on the topic of him being gay.

'Are you gay?'

Yes,' he said absently, as he had realized that he hadn't taken any notes on the biology lecture. When he finally realized what he had just said, he put a hand on his mouth and stared at Clary in horror.

'Relax, Alec,' said Clary, who looked ashamed at her reaction now that she saw his. 'You know I won't treat you any differently.'

He relaxed. 'You mean it?'

'It'll be terribly hypocritical of me, wouldn't it?' She said, wondering what had got him to react so violently. She got her answer hours later, on a Starbucks café.

But now, they needed to get going with their biology notes, since they were bookworms and nerds.

'The thing is,' said Alec, after an awkward pause. 'My parents are very religious.'

'What does that have to do ….' Then she realized. 'Oh.'

'Yes,' said Alec, his head resting on his hands. 'They all think that being gay is blasphemy; they think that it will accelerate your time to hell.' His voice came out muffled.

'Oh My God, I'm so sorry about that Alec,' said Clary. She hesitated, and then took his hand. Alec hesitantly relaxed into it. They sat in awkward silence either of them wanting to break it, yet wanting to at the same time.

'I've got an idea,' said Clary, brightening up. 'Why don't you introduce me as your date to your date to your parents? They won't think that you are gay then.'

'Are you Ok with this?' Alec asked. 'I mean, there are a lot of girls who want to date you.'

She blushed, making her seem even redder. 'Well, now you have two sisters,' she said, firmly. 'Me and Izzy. I'm sure Izzy will agree to the plan, right?'

'Yeah,' Alec seemed dazed. 'Clary?'

'Yes?'

'Thanks.'

She laughed and stood up. 'It's my pleasure Alec.' She kissed his cheek and left, leaving Alec alone to ponder this new development.

Flashback

'So you are definitely coming then?' asked Magus. 'Gorgeous?' He added.

'Do not call me call me gorgeous,' said Alec half-heartedly. He sat on the only chair that wasn't covered in glitter; his chair. 'And really, I'm not sure. There were a lot of people and my chance of being chosen is pretty slim, considering.'

'Oh don't be like that, Alec,' Magnus pouted. 'You will have to believe me when I say that you have a gorgeous voice, which makes me pretty sure that you are going to be the lead singer.'

'The day I become lead singer is the day I become self-confident,' retorted Alec, comfortable in his choice to be silver next to the gold

Just then Magnus got a glint in his eye. Alec was immediately alarmed. The last he had that, he had started a debate about fashion.

The whole school had been covered in glitter for weeks.

'Alec.' He said.

'Yes?' Alec was getting more cautious by the minute. He felt that whatever plan Magnus had come up with will not be good for his health. It wouldn't surprise him if Magnus did something that might accidently contribute to the apocalypse.

Scratch that, Magnus might purposefully contribute to the apocalypse if the mood overcame him.

'I want to make a deal with you,' was the astounding thing that Magnus started to say.

'And what is it?'

'About what you said a minute ago,' explained Magnus.

Alec cached up quickly. 'You think that I'll be the lead singer?' He blushed as he said that.

'Yes, of course Alexander.'

'What's in it for me?' asked Alec, and then he backtracked. 'I mean… a deal has to go both ways, right?'

'Sure.' He said. 'I'll promise that if you win this, I'll never interrupt your reading for a week.'

Alec considered it. He knew that was the best that he was going to get. The suspense was irritating, and he knew that he would never get the position. He really didn't need to worry.

'Deal,' he agreed. Magnus's cat-like eyes were reflecting in the firelight, making his eyes seem even more piercing. Alec had never wanted to kiss anyone, but he now felt it, more intensely than he had ever felt before, even more so than Jace, whom he had loved for a long time.

'A deal it is, then.' Magnus's eyes were gleaming.
