A/N: So, this is my very first FanFic and I really hope you like it! Remember to review, I would LOVE to hear your opinion :)
Because of the lack of Sophie and Gideon stories (And because I love them so much, they're my favourite couple from TID), I decided to write this. There're some characters from TMI as well… just because I wanted them to be there… it's AU and they're all human.
If you think it's a little dull at first, please keep reading anyway, it'll get better! :)
I have some quotes at the beginning of every chapter. If you think the quote's wrong, it's not. I just changed some of them a little so they would fit perfectly to the story. They're all from Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran's songs (possibly others)… just because they're flawless. The chapters name is from the song the quote is from!
I don't live in an English speaking country; English is only my second langue. So please bear over with if there's any mistakes. BUT a huge thanks to Stelesandwands for editing my work!
All quote belong to either Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran or Of Monsters And Men and the characters to Cassandra Clare.
But I'm Just A Girl,
Trying To Find A Place In This World
"Ew! What happened to your face?! I thought the girls in high school would be hot!" called one of the freshmen's. Sophie wandered through the doors to her high school, on her way to her locker. She blushed, with her hand on her cheek, and looked the other way. She had taken the chance and had put her hair in a ponytail today. Otherwise she always let her thick wavy brown hair hang down. She had found a technique on how to tilt her head, just enough so the hair would hide her scar. The scar that went all the way from the corner of her mouth to her temple. She always tried to hide it. Though her friend assured her, they did not notice it. Sophie still got nightmares from the night she'd got it.
She closed her locker just in time to see Magnus walk down the hall. Though they were in their last year, everyone still turned around to look when her friend came by. His pitch black hair was done up in spikes, and purple eyeliner matched his very skin tight pants. His leather boots clicked when ha walked and you could see his abs under the shirt. And on top off it all there was glitter. Glitter and sparkles everywhere.
"Hey, have you seen Alec?" he asked. Typical Magnus. Always asking for his boyfriend.
"No, didn't you drive with him to school?" replied Sophie. Magnus looked past her and his golden eyes sparkled.
"Never mind, darling," he said and Sophie turned to follow his gaze. Alec came walking down the hall in his dark denim pants and old navy blue sweatshirt, that made his eyes an even brighter blue. He had a completely different view on fashion than his boyfriend.
"Good morning, Sophie," Alec just got to say, before Magnus had pulled him in and planted a kiss on his lips. Sophie looked away and saw others on the hall looking at them. She hurried to class instead of waiting on the two lovers. They could go a long time before they were ready to go.
"So which author did you decide to write about?" wanted Tessa the Booklover to know.
"Cassandra Clare," replied Sophie. "It was the choice of my life. I had already written half of the required words on another author, before I changed my mind."
Tessa just grinned. She would have said something, but their English teacher Mrs Branwell who everybody - just like her husband Henry- called by her first name, Charlotte.
"Well, hello class, I hope you all have your papers done and ready to hand over. I – Oh, Will, I'm glad you could come today," said Charlotte, just as Alec's cousin Will walked in. He had the same black hair and blue eyes.
"I'm glad I could too," answered the charming boy and laid his paper on the desk. And then sat down on the other side of Tessa. She greeted her boyfriend. All the others handed over their papers.
"Okay, moving on," said Charlotte. "Today we are going to have two new students." Yes, thought Sophie, finally not the new one. "They're both in their last year, and are going to be in this class-"
Two boys standing in the door frame interrupted her. Sophie did not really pay attention to them. They both had sandy brown hair, one slightly darker than the other. They were both pretty good looking, thought Sophie. They were also very muscular. Though they looked like twins, Sophie could see the difference. The one with the dark hair was the prettiest one. But he was also the one who looked to be the most bored and didn't want be be there.
"Oh, there they are. Come on in boys. So this is Gabriel," said Charlotte and pointed to the bright haired boy. "- and this is Gideon." Sophie watched as both boys ran their eyes over every face in the room. She also watched as Gideon's eyes stopped and met hers. They shared a strange look. He had the most amazing green eyes, compared to her dark hazel ones. Sophie blushed and looked away. She wasn't used to boys looking at her that way. He was properly astonished by her scar, she thought. No one would ever look at her and thinking she was pretty.
"If anyone remembers, they were both here for their first year. Then Gideon left for an exchange year in Spain and Gabriel moved", said Charlotte. Will did not look happy remembering the brothers, especially Gabriel. "You two can go sit in the back." They both went down the lines of chairs. To Sophie's surprise, Gideon chose to sit right behind her.
So she did not notice the looks he was sending her through the whole class.
The bell rang. Sophie went to the cafeteria with Tessa and Will. With some weird-looking meat on their plates, they sat down with Alec and Magnus. In the start they didn't notice the three, their lips locked. Will rolled his eyes, and tapped Alec on the shoulder.
"Hey cousin. Wait 'till you get home, lover boys."
Alec's cheeks flamed red and he slowly pulled away.
"Just because you don't have such an adorable guy to make out with," snapped Magnus and then flashed his shining white teeth.
"Whatever you say, Bane. But just guess who came into class today." Before anyone could answer, Will continued. "The Lightwoods. Remember them? Those pathetic boys, thinking they're so much better than everyone else. Those are, as your mom would say Alec, bad people. And Gideon, making Gabriel look like he's sweeter than a gingerbread man, which is really really hard-" Will continued his babbling about the brothers. Sophie didn't pay attention, and looked around the room. The green eyed Lightwood, Gideon, came by. And almost tripped over an old juice box on the floor. But he remained on both feet, his tray in his hands and murmured something.
"Ay Dios Mio…!"
It sounded like Spanish. But all Sophie noticed was his voice, which she could from that moment never forget. Gideon looked up and meet Sophie's gaze. He realized she had watched him trip, and blushed while he hurried over to the table his brother sat at. The 'cool' table with all the popular kids. Sophie looked away. Had she just made Gideon blush? But Will had just accused the Lightwood brothers for being bad people and thinking they were better than everyone else. Was that true? Sophie hadn't been there the first year, when the brothers had been to the school. She'd come in second year, and was very new. Fortunately Tessa had invited her into their little group right away.
After lunch they all had geography with Mr Mortmain, Sophie's least favourite teacher. Not only because she hated geography, but he was just a bad teacher.
"Are you coming?" said Tessa.
"Just a minute, got to get my books," answered Sophie and watched Will walk away with Tessa's head on his shoulder. Alec and Magnus also walked away, hand in hand. Everyone was so happy and in love. Except Sophie. She hadn't even got her first kiss yet.
Closing her locker, looking down in the floor, Sophie did not see him. Until she stumbled into him, dropped her books and fell down to the floor.
"Ouch!" she cried out, hurting her elbow. She looked up at the person she had bumped into. And there stood Gideon Lightwood.
A/N: Yes, in this chapter, I described Gabriel and Gideon to look alike, even though they don't. But that was on purpose. It's a fanfic and I wanted them to look more alike, so you would mix the brothers more together to think there were alike in person too. But you can just imagine Gabriel as he looks, if that works better for you :)
Yeah, so i left you with this cliffhanger... situation... thing... So just ignore that and please just write a review instead! Thx :) And remember: The more reviews = the more I know you want to read the story = faster updates. Just thought you needed to know... (:
