Chapter 1: The Outcast

Alec Lightwood an Outcast from Bremswood Highschool in a small town called Hell, or at least that's what he would call it. He's been stuck in this seething abyss for seven years and still hasn't found a person even worth talking to, and even if he did he wouldn't get any conversation back. To everyone but his mother he is invisible, he's like a speck of dust on this messed up planet, just waiting to be dusted. Or like a corpse waiting to waste away. Everyday walking into the doors of Bremswood Highschool is like walking into one of his own nightmares. Every day he's hoping that he would notice someone worth talking to even if he has a chance of getting shot down.

Alec Lightwood is a seventeen year old boy who hides behind his black hair that rests over most of his face, he's a shy, depressed, gay boy who just needs someone. He's never opened up to anyone before. Ever. And he really doesn't intend to find that someone because he absolutely no confidence in himself. He's usually the kind of guy to be sitting in the back corner of class with headphones in wearing a black leather jacket, never speaking, never looking up, And never raising his hand to answer questions. Even the teachers don't really notice him but he doesn't really mind that about the teachers because well, most of them are pretentious assholes.

It was time for him to go to his 5th hour, which is Precalculus. As he was walking to his classroom after lunch he caught a glimpse of this rather attractive guy sitting on the ground against the fence out by the bus gates. How could he never have noticed this beautiful creature? After seven years of ignoring people and their rude comments and thinking he was invisible, I guess he started to drowned everybody out. The boy that was sitting against the fence looked like someone Alec would actually consider trying to talk to sometime.

He had long black hair with bright colored highlights, he was wearing skinny jeans and a shirt with a band emblem that Alec surprisingly never seen or heard of. The boy looked at Alec and noticed he was staring, Alec could feel his cheeks burning red. The boy jumped up and grabbed his book bag and started towards Alec. Alec attempted to walk faster pretending their eyes never met, "Oh sweet lord how beautiful the boys eyes are." He shook his head "Oh stop it." Alec thought to himself. He felt a hand wrap around his shoulder and the boy said "The names Magnus Bane, I couldn't help but notice you staring at me a second ago." His voice was pretty manly, Alec was so nervous. He stuttered "uh uhm uh , Alec, Alec Lightwood,Sorry about that. I catch myself staring into space often. uhm that sounded kinda creepy. Sorry" "So" Magnus started, "is Alec short for something?" Alexander, not many people call me that though. "Alexander huh? I like that. So Alexander I'll tell you a little about myself and then you can tell me a little about yourself." Okay, Alec quietly answered. Well I've went here to Bremswood Highschool for almost 5 years now, it's sucked but my friend Giovanna has kept me pretty sane. I'm completely and one hundred percent gay. Alec's eyebrows shot up and his eyes widened. What? Magnus asked anxiously, Oh god you're just like everyone else, you hate gay boys to don't you, well we are human too. No, no, I don't hate gay people I just didn't think you would be well, gay. Well honey i'm as gay as they come, Magnus says proudly. Well now you know about me, so tell me some interesting things about you cutie. Well i've went to this school for seven years alec started trying not to is the worst part about my life, because i'm apparently invisible. I like to draw, and listening to music is what keeps me sane. I have ad brother named Jace and a mother named Lorraine "You boys get to class, now or i'll have you send you to the principle!" "Wench" Alec mumbled under his breath. Magnus smiled, i'll talk to you later Alexander.

After school Alec was walking home, just thinking about his amazing day. And it was all because of this beautiful creature named Magnus Bane. His eyes, his lips, his body. Oh god he was perfect. Even though he didn't get to finish his conversation with him, he was finally going to open up to someone and tell them he was gay. But he took the interruption as a sign so he figured he would just keep it to himself. As Alec was walking off of the school grounds, a black car pulls up beside him. As the tented window was rolling down Alec immediately knew it was Magnus. "Want a ride Alexander?" Alec was hesitant because he didn't want to act totally stupid. But he accepted anyways. "Sure, thanks." As he got into the car with Magnus he remembered how awful his house was, since his family was pretty rough and poor. He also remember how much of a asshole his moms drunk boyfriend was.

About a quarter of a mile away from his house Alec said " right here is fine, thanks". Magnus was confused. "There isn't even a house here." Alec got out of the car, and looked at him " I know but it's not to far from here." Magnus knew something was up, but he only said "okay see you later. Wait! Let me see your phone" He punched in some buttons and handed it back, "Text me if you want to hang out later." Alec walked away smiling to himself.

As Magnus was driving away he was thinking to himself how adorable he found Alec. He drove about nine miles and stopped at a trailer house to pick up his friend Giovanna. She opened the door and hopped in, "Hey! Why do you look so happy with that big cheesy smile on your face? Are you blushing? Is Magnus Bane blushing, or should I say crushing?" Magnus laughed. "Come on Giovanna, get real. I don't crush on people. I just like to look at them." Giovanna smirked at him. "You can say what ever you want but a smile like that is caused by feelings, you like someone. Just admit it."
Magnus stayed quiet. He sat and thought to himself, he doesn't want to deny his feelings for Alexander but he just couldn't turn a straight guy into a gay guy. " He's straight it doesn't even matter, it could never happen. Straight guys can't love a gay guy. Ugh Magnus sighed. What am I going to do Giovanna?" Giovanna shook her head. " I'm not the best with advice, but at least he still talks to you even though he knows you're gay. If you can't have him as a lover you could still be friends." Magnus didn't reply. They were on their way to a house party, "This is where it is." said Giovanna. " I think i'll just head home, you go ahead. Have fun, i'm not feeling that great. " She sighed, and rolled her eyes. "Okay." She nodded.

Magnus pulled into his drive way where he pulled up to a small black house that looked like it had been through a hurricane. Him, his parent's and his siblings had been kicked out of their old house so they had to move into their old storage house. Which was definitely not what you would call fancy. As he walked into the door he heard the T.V. going in the basement which usually means his sibling are down there and his parents screaming and fighting which was actually very common in his family's household. They're in the middle of a divorce but they don't have the money to finish it off. His dad Robert is a drunk thats only home sometimes to get money out of the kids college funds piggy bank for boos. And his mother Maryse tries so hard to support her kids in what ever they choose, she breaks her back for them, she does what ever she has to, to make sure that they have food on their table and a roof over their heads.

Magnus walked into his room and turned on his stereo to drown out his parents rucuss. When he checked his phone he had a text message, it was from Alexander he was sure of it considering he never gives his number out. "Don't let him know you have feelings, he's a normal straight friend whom I have no love interest for." Magnus thought, even though he knew it was a lie.

Alexander: Hey, Hows your night going?

Magnus: Boring, like always. Just wish something new would happen.

Alexander: Maybe something special will...Soon enough. You seem deserving of good things in life.

Magnus: Why did we never talk before? I've seen you around but everytime I did you didn't look like you were in the mood to socialize. But finally I just decided to talk to you anyways.

Alexander: To be honest, I try to ignore everyone. Most people have made my life a living hell. I didn't think there was anyone worth talking to really. Until I opened my eyes today. I found a new friend. I'm really tired, So goodnight Magnus. :)

Magnus: Goodnight alexander.

Magnus locked his phone. Why does he have to be straight.. Just why? That's all he could think.
