A/N: Hey, guys… this shall hopefully be my NaNoWriMo project… I'll try to get the 50,000 words but seriously, no promises. Anyone who read Aftermath knows that I'm the worst updater EVER (I have half of the last chapter of that sitting on my desktop right now collecting dust right now, by the way… it'll get finished eventually). So yeah, anyways, I'll explain the basics of what's going on at the end of the chapter, to keep y'all from getting TOO lost. Oh and they are in high school, but it will not really be a high school fic :)
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, no amount of chocolate covered in rainbow glitter and sprinkles being sacrificed to the unicorn gods of writing will make TMI mine :( Sorry guys.
Beep beep beep!
Alec Lightwood groaned as the blaring of his alarm clock jerked him out of his peaceful dreams. He pressed the button to shut up the stupid alarms and buried his head under a pillow, wishing that could just go back to sleep and skip school. But no… of course he couldn't. As the eldest Lightwood, it was his job to get his younger brother and sister off to school… if he didn't go, neither of them would either. So, reluctantly, he rolled out of bed and went to get Max and Izzy.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
"Magnus Bane Fell, if you do not get your glittery ass out of that bathroom within 5 seconds, bad things will happen," called Ragnor in threatening voice, "very, very bad things involving your glitter and makeup."
"Chillax, Rags," Magnus replied nonchalantly, continuing the careful application of his makeup. "No need to threaten the sparkles… I won't make us late for school."
"Magnus, hun, since when the hell do I care about school? It's Iz and Cam I'm worried about… if they don't get to school in time for a snog-fest with the boyfriends, they will rip your heart out. And eat it. And then I'll be twinless!"
"I repeat- chill! Of course they won't; I'm the GBF… they love me."
Ragnor rolled his eyes in exasperation and finally decided to play his final card: "Allie'll be here soon!" he called through the wooden door.
"He will?" he shouted back, dropping his eyeshadow on the counter to clap his hands and bounce around like little kid.
"Yep, he just called… should be here in about 2 minutes."
"I'll be down in a sec!" the younger of the two practically squealed. He threw a fistful of glitter over himself then rushed out the door, dashing down the steps, taking them 2 by 2 like it was Christmas. As he ran past Ragnor in the downstairs hall, Ragnor threw up his arms, over his face.
"Gah," he gasped theatrically, "the walking disco ball effect… it's blinded me…"
Magnus ignored him as he barged past to the front door, where he proceeded to sit cross-legged on the window ledge and stare intently out the window. As he did so Camille appeared from the kitchen, with Jem and Will trailing behind her.
"Alec almost here?" she asked with an amused smirk. Magnus just nodded in reply.
"Man, next time Alec's parents drag him off on a week-long 'family bonding' vacation, you're gonna have to go with him… first bitch fits, then moping, and now you've turned into a 5 year old; this boyfriend withdrawal thing CAN'T be good for you," Will put in.
Magnus just ignored them and continued to stare at the window.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Alec hummed along with the music being blasted from his iPod speakers, in a much better mood than when he'd first woken up. Yes, Izzy was in her bitchy post-breakup mode and Max'd had a complete meltdown because he'd spilled juice on his favorite book, but they were finally in the car and on their way to pick up their friends—including his boyfriend, Magnus.
3 minutes later he pulled into the driveway. He looked down for a minute, to turn off his iPod, and when he looked back up Magnus was standing in front of the car window with his arms crossed, pouting adorably.
"Get your cute butt out of the car and come kiss your boyfriend!" he demanded, looking very much like a child throwing a temper tantrum. With a grin, Alec hopped out of the car and complied, pulling the taller teen down to his height to kiss him. Eventually Alec's hands found their way to his boyfriend's glitter-encrusted ebony hair, but when Magnus's hands slid up inside the pale teen's shirt to rest against the cool skin there, Izzy—sitting in the backseat, reapplying her eyeliner—cleared her throat pointedly.
"Okay, as hot as this is... it's not really the time! We need to get to school. Also, Allie, your little brother is back here," she called.
The two separated reluctantly, though Magnus—now glaring at his best friend—kept his arm around his boyfriend's waist. Alec just blushed.
It was at that point that Magnus's twin and three foster siblings chose to appear.
"Where's Iz?" Camille questioned, nodding a greeting to Alec
"Fixing her makeup… beware; Ian broke up with her last night." Izzy after breakups was always… interesting, to say the least.
"Aw, poor Teddy Bear," Cam said sympathetically, using her and Maggie's nickname for Izzy. "Ian is so getting it today."
"Eh, no need… she'll get over it," came the muttered reply. Alec had seen enough to his little sister's breakups to know that she'd have a new boyfriend within a day.
Thankfully, Isabelle didn't hear his comment as she climbed out of the car, in all her post-breakup glory, and struck a ridiculously provocative pose. "So? How do I look?"
Will and Ragnor whistled practically simultaneously, eyes wide, and Alec gave them a protective older brother glare. Isabelle was wearing a tiny black skirt, heels that could kill and a red shirt with a PLUNGING neckline. Her makeup was flawless—dark, smoky, slightly shimmer-y eye makeup, blood red lipstick, and the perfect amount of blush. All in all, she looked immensely sexy and COMPLETELY inappropriate for school.
"Sex. On. Legs," Will said with an intense stare. He was just messing around though… he'd known Iz for YEARS and would never REALLY date her. Hopefully. In Alec's opinion, it would just be weird.
"I'd totally tap that," Ragnor agreed, ignoring Alec's venomous glare that said not to even THINK of sleeping with his baby sister. Isabelle beamed though, as Camille and Magnus rushed over to her.
"Isabelle, darling, you are so GORGEOUS! I am SO stealing that eyeliner," Magnus gushed
"And what color nail polish is that? It's amazing!" Camille added, gesturing to her friend's dark red nails.
Jem rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Okay, can we continue this conversation in the car please?" he interrupted. "We're going to be late for school!"
"Oh shit, we are… okay, everyone in the car!" Alec agreed.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
10 minutes later, they were at the elementary school to drop off Max. As Magnus watched him run into the building, book in hand, hair tousled, and looking excited for the day, he laughed. Glancing over at Alec, he asked "Are you sure that-"
"No, Magnus," Alec cut him off, "Max is NOT my younger clone, I PROMISE."
"Hmmph, if you say so…"
"I do say so."
A/N: Okay that's it! The next chapter will be up hopefully today, and if not, then tomorrow. Now explanation time… it's just Max, Izzy, and Alec in this fic, no Jace yet. Magnus and Ragnor are twins, and they, Cam, Will, and Jem are foster siblings. They are not really AH, but sort of… all things relating to that will be explained later. And this was just a little introduction chapter… I'll try to start the plot rolling in Chapter 2. Anyways, review please! And if you notice any mistakes or have any writing tips for me, feel free to point them out :)
