Camp Idris
Chapter 1 (Alec POV)

"The whole summer?" All three of us asked in sync.
"Yes, Max will come with Robert and I because for all the days but a few we will be on business trips." Maryse told us.
"How many other people will be there?" Isabelle asked, always the one to socialize.
"There are few councilors, so only around twenty kids at most, who will be staying for the entire summer as well. Probably less actually. The dropping off period is about two weeks, and some people won't be dropped off until two weeks into the camp." Maryse explained.
"Aren't camps for like ten-year-olds?" Jace asked, echoing my thoughts exactly.
"Well this one isn't! It's for young adults ages 16-20." Maryse said. She continued, "Camp Idris is great! There's a lake and a cabin and all sorts of great things to do."
"But why the whole summer?" I complained. It seemed like it might be fun, but we wouldn't know anybody there. Getting to know people had always been hard for me.
"I told you, all the business trips." She calmly explained again.
"It'll be fun, Alec! I'm gonna go pack!" Isabelle said.
"We leave in two days, you should start packing too. Both of you." Maryse looked at both Jace and I as she said this. We followed Izzy up the stairs.
"I hope there'll be hot chicks." Jace said.
I rolled my eyes and told him, "I don't think camp is for picking up chicks." I felt slightly uncomfortable, yet relieved, because it seemed like he didn't suspect I was gay. Izzy was the only person who knew, and I wanted to keep it that way for awhile.

[Two days later] (Alec POV)
"We have to run to the cabin or we'll be late!" I shouted.
"Have a good time!" Maryse told us. Luckily we had said goodbye before the four- hour car drive to the camp.
Jace, Izzy, and I all sprinted to the cabin. It was more like a giant house, not anything like the small cabin I imagined. It was made out of wood, and when we reached the door there was a welcome sign that read; "Welcome to Camp Idris" with drawings all around the text.
The door opened and a middle- aged man said, "Hello! Call me Hodge! I will be one of your councilors, you are campers here I assume."
"Yes we are." Jace and Izzy said in sync.
"Well come on in I think you are the last arrivals for today. For now bring your bags into the living room."
The living room consisted of brightly colored couches and benches, and it had a fireplace. There were two doors leading out, and many bags-other people's I assumed- stacked in the corner.
When we walked in there was a redhead with green eyes who was next to a boy with brown hair and glasses, and another boy with black hair and black eyes. It wasn't these three that drew my attention, though.
It was the boy sitting alone on one of the couches. He had black hair that was spiked up and on the ends it alternated from flamingo pink and sky blue. His eyes were a gold- green color, and his pupils were slit like a cats. His skin was evenly tanned and he was slim. He looked quite tall, maybe taller than me, which I didn't see often because I was above- average in height. The boy was covered in what looked like gallons of glitter, and that plus the fact that he was wearing more makeup than Izzy made me cone to the conclusion there was no way he was straight. The fact that there was a very hot- the hottest guy I've ever seen, in fact- guy at camp who was gay made me only slightly uncomfortable, yet excited.
He looked up and to my surprise he looked at me, not Jace or Izzy. When our eyes met I moved my gaze to the floor, fixing my eyes on a nail in the wood. I felt my signature blush creeping up and I cursed myself for being embarrassed so easily.
Luckily Hodge started talking before I could do something more embarrassing. He said, "Well take a seat and introduce your selves and say how long you're staying, because you're going to be spending awhile with each other. I'm going to go get the other councilors, so I'll be right back. Be good."
"Well alrighty then. I'm Jace." he said. I noticed his gaze lingered on the redhead for a little too long than necessary and I felt a small pang of jealousy.
"I'm Isabelle." Izzy told everyone, then looked at me expectantly.
"Uh, I'm Alec." I said as the blush started creeping up my neck again.
Everyone else started introducing themselves, the redhead's name was Clary, her friend with the glasses Simon, and the boy with black hair and eyes Sebastian. The boy that had caught my eye's name was Magnus. He was staying the whole summer too, along with everybody else.
We heard voices down the hallway and looked to see Hodge coming back with three other people.
A woman with bright red hair said, "You will call me Ms. Seelie."
The other woman spoke up, "I am Ms. Herondale." she said bluntly.
Then everyone heard very girlish giggles and the man they were coming from spoke up, "I'm INQUISITOR Aldertree," He giggled more and added, "because I will SEARCH you. If any of you are naughty boys, I will make sure to..." he paused, in thought while still giggling, "punish you most harshly." He said while giggling crazily all the while, muttering something about checking hidden cameras in the boys' bathroom.
Jace and I shared a look, knowing we were both thinking to inspect the bathroom very closely for anything suspicious-looking.
"Ahem. Well then, now that that's cleared up and introductions are done we can choose rooms and we will relax for an hour or so, just get to know the people in your rooms. Stay there till the hour is up and we will come get you." Hodge said, and directed us towards the proper room assignments.
"Girls are on the right side, the bathroom is across the hall, boys to left and the bathroom for you is across from your rooms. Also, I believe a few people may possibly show up tomorrow through the next two weeks. For now, have a good time."
We all headed into our rooms, there were two, one with three bunk beds, so six beds total, and a room connected by only a doorway and door had two queen-sized beds, presumably for the male councilors. I took a top bunk and Jace took the bed under mine, so we were sharing a bunk. The beds were set up so there were two against one wall, and one against the opposite wall. That meant since I had taken the bed on the wall with two, there was a bed right next to mine so the person and my head would be separated by only the wood of the bed.
When I put my stuff down I saw Magnus had takes that bed by me, and I felt a little excited by it, but also a little nervous. I didn't know how people would react if they ever found out I was gay, but nobody seemed to be giving Magnus a hard time- yet, at least.
Simon was on the bunk under Magnus and Sebastian had taken the bottom bunk on the open bed. We all started talking about where we were from and how old we were. Magnus and I were both eighteen, and Jace and Sebastian were seventeen. Simon was the only sixteen- year- old, but he was soon to be seventeen.
As it turns out, Magnus lived only about thirty minutes away from Jace, Izzy and I. That pleased me more than I wished it would, because now that we were all opening up to each other and now that I had learned a little about him I wanted to learn more.

(Isabelle POV)
When I had gotten all five of my over- packed bags into the room Clary and I were sharing, we began making small talk.
We talked about a ton of things, like who might come tomorrow, the weather, clothes, and camp activities.
After a while the hour of relaxation time was over and we both got off of our top bunks and headed to dinner.
When we got there the four boys were sitting down and Aldertree was eyeing them very intensely. Clary and I sat down next to them and we all started talking. I noticed Simon talking to Clary and I could see her only half paying attention and half looking at Jace. Sebastian was nowhere to be seen, and when I asked Alec he said Hodge led him somewhere but that he didn't know either.
Magnus, Alec, and I talked for a while and I was starting to form plans in my head as to how I could get them together. They already seemed to click so I started talking to Jace, Clary, and Simon. They weren't as interesting but I watched Alec and Magnus out of the corner of my eyes. Alec was smiling a lot more than usual and from what I could tell Magnus seemed to like him, at least a little. I wonder if Magnus knows he's gay...

(Magnus POV)
After dinner, Hodge told us to go to our "dorms" because he wanted us all refreshed for the day tomorrow.
That means we will all be dead on our feet because we will most likely stay up all night... I wondered briefly if they had coffee with caffeine. My mind drifted back to the blue- eyed, adorable, Alec. I thought back to the moment he had walked into the room.
FLASHBACK
The door opened and I looked up to see the most gorgeous boy I had ever laid eyes on. He had black, messy hair that framed his face and he was tall, and looked almost as tall as me, but not quite. He had a horrible fashion taste, but under the baggy clothes and much too worn- out sweater and jeans he looked to be well built. But the thing that drew me to him the most was his eyes. They were the most exquisite blue I had ever seen, I didn't think this eye color was possible. I thought they were contacts at first, but given his clothes I realized it didn't look like he'd go to that trouble. He had a faint flush on his cheeks, and full lips and a strong jawbone.
He bit his lip and my heart melted for this boy. He was just the most precious thing, and in that moment I hoped nothing more than he was gay, so I could have a chance at him. I saw him staring, and I decided I was going to find out. In that moment Hodge started talking.
END FLASHBACK
When everyone was done changing we all set up our sheets- mine a canary yellow, and Alec's a grey and blue- we all sat on our bunks. Sebastian was back and he looked very upset but he didn't say anything and hopped into his bed. Simon also went immediately to bed, and Jace was apparently scouting to bathroom for cameras, which as much as I was already annoyed by blondie, I was grateful for it, I looked at Alec and he was reading but he didn't seem to be actually reading the words, just skimming.
"Hey, Alec." I said, hoping he'd want to talk to me.
"Oh, hey, what's up?" he asked me, while putting down his book.
"Well I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd talk to a cute guy." I said, dropping a wink.
He blushed and stammered, "Uh, yeah. Um... What do you want to talk about?"
We ended talking for an hour into the night, being interrupted only once by Jace who had come running in, screaming that he found a camera. When we had said good night I drifted off into a peaceful sleep filled with dreams of that blue-eyed wonder I so desperately wanted to call mine.
