Not Anymore (A Malec Highschool AU)

Alec's POV

"Alec?" Jace, or the golden boy as some called him, jumped on top of him, making him wake up in a instant. Alec groaned loudly and shoved his brother off. "Remember to wear your football uniform today. All the Shadowhunters are!" Jace yelled as he scampered out of the room.

Alec tried not to think about the day ahead of him as he got out of bed. 'First day of my senior year… And I'm so worried.. It's not normal.' But Alec knew that it was for him.

He was always the shyest out of his family. They were outgoing and fun. Jace thought he was the sexiest man alive and wasn't, oh he defiantly wasn't afraid to show it. Plus Isabelle, oh Isabelle, she always stuck her nose into other people's business, but she still had many friends. No one really noticed that she was pretty obnoxious.

With a small, tired groan, Alec peeled his covers off. He pulled on his football uniform. It was the only thing that made him feel remotely normal. Wearing it made him feel almost… popular. Alec had always hung out with the people most students would say were the popular kids, but Alec never felt the part. He was always awkward and introverted. So one day when Jace had had enough of him sitting alone everyday at lunch, he pulled him over to the table and shoved him into his group.

That was the day that Alec realized he could never have friends. His stutter stuck out to much when he had anxiety and once when they were talking about getting Alec a girlfriend, he had almost spouted out that he was gay. To the whole table even! That would have been a complete nightmare. He might just have died.

Alec slipped into the bathroom, which luckily, wasn't occupied by his sister or either of his brothers. Max was his other brother. He was only twelve years old, but pretty smart. Max didn't use it though. He'd rather stay in his room and read then talk with other people. But Alec couldn't really blame him, he did the exact same thing most days.

Alec quickly ran a brush through his hair and sighed softly. Combed or not, his hair was crap. It never went back like he wanted it too.

Giving up, he ran down the stairs. "Isabelle! Jace! Come on! We are gonna be late for our first day!" Isabelle ran in, wearing a short black dress. "You like? I saved up my allowance for 5 weeks to get this bad boy." She said, twirling around.

Instead of answering, Alec motioned to the back. "Oh, whatever. Just get in the back." With a giggle, she slid into the passenger seat. "This is why you don't have a girlfriend. You have to learn how to compliment somebody."

'And also how to talk to people without a stutter and a blush' He thought but he didn't say it. The happier they thought he was, the better.

As soon as Jace buckled in the back, complaining that he didn't get shotgun ("You were trying to hard to be sexy and I nabbed it." Isabelle had teased, earning a slap on the shoulder and a string of curses from Jace.) they zoomed off to school. 'Another day in hell..' Alec thought and started his gray sports car.

Isabelle slid out of the car with a smile. "I heard some new students would be coming to our school this year. One boy and one girl." Jace closed the door behind himself. "Oh yeah, and how did you find out that?"

She smiled warmly and giggled. "Aline's mother works in the office and she told Aline who told me." Alec sighed quietly. Isabelle was almost always into the latest gossips. She was one of the most popular girls in school.

Alec hopped out last. He though, didn't say a word. He was shy at home and at school. Insecurity maybe, but more possibly it was his anxiety.

Alec pulled on his football uniform. It never felt right on him. He never felt right being popular, or on a team that meant so much to the whole school, like the football team. Almost everyone went to every single game. It was those days that he got the most panic attacks. All those people… Staring right at him…

Jace had already ran to the front office and Isabelle was catching up to him. He walked quicker to catch up to them. Both of them continued to chat, ignoring Alec's usual quietness.

When they passed the second corridor heading towards their lockers, Alec stopped abruptly. "What is it, big bro? My sexiness to good for you to handle?" Jace retorted, then smirked.

Alec faked a grin. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just go on without me. I'll catch up in a second." He turned down a different hallway, following the noise he had heard earlier.

When he saw what it really was, he stopped in his tracks. A boy, who was a bit taller then Alec, was being picked on by Jonathon, the biggest bully in the school. But something was different about this kid. He was more sparkly then a tween girls bedroom. His hair was black with purple spikes and his outfit was… unique to say the least. He was wearing a pair of the skinniest jeans Alec had ever seen. A rainbow of glitter and colors had exploded all over the teenagers shirt and bag, which was defiantly showing off a small six-pack.

Alec stood silent, his mouth agape. The student looked his way and smiled weakly. He had to do something… He couldn't just stand there doing nothing. That wasn't at all fair to the boy. Alec walked over slowly, trying to avoid a panic attack.

He was close enough to hear Jonathon talking, "Oh look, if it isn't faggot boy. You didn't have enough of this during the summer I see. You just had to come to our school and puke your faggy glitter clothes all over." A few of the boys in the back laughed. Alec was pretty sure the boy could see him coming over now, but Jonathon didn't see to notice.

"Hey!" This was the loudest he had ever talked to anyone before. "Get your grubby hands off of him!" Alec shouted pushing the bully off the boy. All Jonathon did was laugh. "You think I am that easy to get rid of kid? I guess I am feeling pity for you now… I'll let you take care of him today." With a small chuckle, the bully left.

Heart beating fast, he turned back to the teenager that had been teased. "You okay, darling?" The boy asked, walking over and putting his hand on Alec's shoulder.

"I-I was about to ask you the same thing." Alec said, smiling nervously. "My names Magnus, yours?" Now that Magnus was in close range, he could see all of his features. His eyes were yellow, almost like a cat, with a tinge of orange near the irises. Magnus was also wearing a touch of mascara and a small amount of lip gloss.

"Well, I can certainly handle myself, but you on the other hand, look like your about to pass out.. or die.. or perhaps both." He had this look in his catish eyes that made Alec feel like he must genuinely care.

"Umm.. I am just having a bit of a rush… F-First time I've ever stood up for someone that J-Jonathon was teasing on." Alec blushed as he said this, though he didn't exactly know why.

"Thank you sweetheart, but if I knew you'd almost have a panic attack after I wouldn't have let you butt in. I'll be fine next time. Don't bother." And with that, Magnus hiked up his bag and walked down the hallway.

Alec sat down in the back of his English class dazed. He didn't even notice that he had sat at the desk to the left of Magnus's. He had just sat there because it was close to Jace's. They began passing notes.

Hey, Alec. You were late. What happened?

Nothing… I couldn't open my locker.

That's all? Nothing else?

Yeah, of course. What did you do while I was gone then?

A few seconds before you came in, that new kid walked over here and started talking to me.

Really? Was he okay?

Yeah, he's okay. Just hurts my eyes a little bit with all that glitter. I think that's what you would call the definition of gay.

When Alec read that he twitched. It always came back to the stereotypes didn't it? Alec had thought he was gay since he was a 12, and even now he never acted like a "gay", it was a little bit after Jace came along… The golden-haired boy was beautiful and ripped and even back then he was cocky about it. Alec soon had realized it was more then brotherly love he felt for the young student, but he was over it now… Wasn't he?

If I could on paper, I would laugh, but since I can't we'll move on. What did he say?

He was talking about being new here and where to sit. Probably just wanted to have a little fun with me after school though. Too bad Clary already claimed that.

Oh shut it. What did you tell him?

Want to know ever detail don't you? I told him that he could sit wherever he wanted and he sat down randomly.. Actually he's to your right… Invite him to sit at our table at lunch!

What?! You do it!

No way! I'll get caught! You're way closer to 'im!

Jace… I hate you.. Fine. But only because I am in a sorta good mood today.

Thanks! I have to show the others this guy! Crap… The teachers handing something out. Stop the notes!

Alec sighed softly. He just agreed to ask Magnus to lunch… He must have really not stopped liking Jace. "Uuhh… Magnus… Can I ask you a question?"
