So this is an OOC Malec. It's just the high school thing, and neither are anything special like a shadowhunter, or warlock. There's a couple TMI characters you'll notice throughout it, a couple of my own, and I might even put in some ID ones. I'm not a big Clary fan, you wont see her in here. Sorry. Otherwise I hope you enjoy, and if you don't like how out of character it is, I have a in character malec up as well. Thank you for just reading this far. I hope you like this.
Magnus never had the privilege of going to an actual school. Some would say he was lucky because he got to avoid the drama, but lonely was a better word. Maybe if he hadn't moved so often, forcing him to be home schooled, he could have had friends already. 'This is the last time,' his aunt had told him as they moved New York, the 3rd state this year. The fact that he was finally enrolled in a public school gave him hopes of it actually being true this time. Maybe, for once he could feel like a normal kid his age. Maybe this time his aunt wouldn't lose her job, or have a fall out with a 'man friend' causing them to have to pack up again. 'It will be different this time' he constantly reminded himself as he unpacked his things in his room. Moving so often, he learned he didn't actually need much. A bed, dresser, clothes, a couple books, and his laptop were all he bothered to keep. The less he had, the less he had to box up for the next move. Everything else was too much. He already had a lot of clothes to deal with, along with his mass of bathroom things. That was the first thing he unpacked. Unfortunately the counter in his bathroom was a bit small, causing him to squish it all together but he needed it all to be his fabulous self. After fixing his hair with his hairspray, and outlining his eyes with a blue liner before covering his face in glitter, Magnus deemed himself worthy of going to check out the school. They were already half way through the day, but when you come 2 months already into a school year, it helps to go and check out where everything is and see who your teachers are. He was a smart kid, with good grades and he wanted to keep it that way.
It didn't take long to reach the school, only about a 10minute drive. The school was a lot more run down than he was expecting. It was nothing like any shows he had seen. All the kids' stares were piercing through him as he walked down the halls. Well course they should be staring, he did look magnificent. Walking with purpose and his head held high, Magnus went straight for the office that in the center of the building.
"Excuse me." He said to the secretary lady behind the desk, who seemed more concentrated on chewing her pen cap than doing any actual work.
"Yes, uh," She paused as she looked up to him, her blonde curls falling to the sides of her face. "Are you new here? I do not believe we've met." She straightened her posture and set her pen down. She looked like she was in her early twenties, and was dressed up in a fancy purple blouse and gray jacket that made her look like she belonged in a big company office job, rather than a school one.
"My aunt said she had me registered here already. Magnus Bane. I start tomorrow, but I wanted to get everything straightened out already." He leaned on the counter, looking the girl over. She was pretty. He assumed that many boys in this school lusted over her.
"Magnus, yes. " She nodded searching through her papers until she picked up a couple from the bottom of her stack. "What a delightfully unusual name. I do believe it means 'great' in Latin, does it not?" Her smile lit up her whole face as she stood. "My name, is , and I of course work in the office here. I will just need you to fill out a couple of these papers, and get your aunt to sign the bottom before bringing them back to me tomorrow morning." She clapped her hands after handing him the sheets and then dropped her arms to her sides. For a dreary school such as this one, they sure lucked out with getting such a happy and beautiful lady to work in the office. "Feel free to wonder the halls if you would like, and get acquainted with your teachers, who are listed on your schedule that I just handed you, along with their room numbers, and a map of the halls. If you have any questions, I am here, and I am positive the principal would be glad to meet you as well as soon as she's free." Ms. Colins pointed in the direction of the door in the back. There was a small window off the side of the door and he could see three kids in the seats, two blondes, and a black haired boys. Ms. Colins must have seen him looking through the window though because she took upon on herself to warn him. "Those boys in there, don't get carried up in that. They are bad news, always have been. It's beyond me why they are still here. Best for you to keep away." She grinned and sat back down, picking her pen up once again. Magnus took that as his hint to leave and started down the hallway. Hallway F, as it was labelled in the mini map attached to his schedule. This was the hall where he would have his art class. F18, it read. The last one on the right. He was peering inside the window when he heard a voice behind him.
"I think you're just jealous that my boyfriend is the hottest guy in this school, and that you're still single." A girl was talking in the hallway by the doors.
"I'm not jealous. Your boyfriend is barely even at school, and when he is, he isn't in class. He isn't going to graduate and he's going to keep you here with him. At least when I have a boyfriend he won't be stupid, and only go for sluts like you." A different voice snapped back at her. Magnus may not have known who these people were, but by what he heard, he did know a fight was about to break out. No way you could say that to a girl and not get at least slapped. He walked over enough to see the girls. The one with her back to him had medium length brown hair, and was short and very petite. Almost sickly skinny, but her stance showed anger, and that she was prepared to fight. The other girl had had shoulder length black hair. She was taller, and not quite as thin. Healthier looking.
"Aline, you-"The brunette growled before pouncing at the girl he know guessed was named Aline.
"Whoa, stop! Ladies." Magnus glided in, reaching for the fired up brown haired girl.
"Who the hell are you?" She spat back at him, pulling away.
"My name is Magnus, I'm new here." He stuck his hands in his pockets, kicking himself for stepping in now.
"Obviously. I don't recall calling for a little fairy to come help me out. Take your glitter and leave."
"Magnus?" Aline smiled slightly at him. "What a nice name."
"Aline, shut up. " The girl flung her neck to the side glare at her, "No one cares what you have to say."
"No one cares what you have to say either, Cassie. Not even your boyfriend. Your mouth only has one use for him and it isn't talking." Aline replied with a grin on her face. Magnus didn't know either of them and what their problem was but her comeback drew a laugh from Magnus.
"You think that's funny?" Cassie stomped her foot as she turned to face Magnus. She pushed her hair back with an angry swat.
"Look, I didn't mean to start anything with you. I was just trying to stop your fighting. I'm sorry, I'll leave." Magnus had his hands up defensively as he backed away.
"It would be smart of you not to come back either." Cassie stormed down the hall in the other direction, just leaving Magnus and Aline.
"I'm sorry, Magnus. She can be really, well rude. It isn't in her nature to be anything but nasty." Aline walked over to his side with a smile across her face. "So, you're new here right?"
Magnus was still trying to wrap his head around what had just happened. Girls in high school were as crazy as they were in t.v. Had he already managed to get himself a bad rep before even starting school yet? That Cassie girl acted like she would have a lot of influence on what others thought. "I am. I start tomorrow actually. I just came to check out the school, and apparently ruin my reputation here already."
"What you did was kind. I appreciate that you stepped in there. I might have had to kick her ass of you didn't come in, and then I would have gotten a suspension." She smirked.
"What were you guys fighting about anyway?" Magnus asked, not paying attention to the fact that he could be stepping a boundary.
"Everything. I was just walking through the halls and ran into her, so she picked whatever came to mind first and started at me." Aline still had a look of enjoyment. "To think, we use to be best friends. Then you know, high school happened and she changed. Not in a very good way."
Wasn't that how most shows went? The girl rivals were once best friends until they grew up and had their differences. This was almost too cliché for him, but he couldn't care less at the moment. All Magnus could do was grin, happy that he may have already made his first friend in years. She seemed kind, smart, and funny enough to have around a lot. The sort of person he saw himself befriending. That's when he heard a clang on metal and the constantly shifting of locks. Someone was running their hand across all of the lockers.
"They're out of the office already? Shame, I was enjoying them not being around. "Aline rolled her eyes as she stared behind him. Magnus turned around just in time to come face to face with three people. A blond boy with golden eyes, a blonde with green eyes, and a boy with black hair and blue eyes. The boys from the office Ms. Colins had warned him to stay away from, but he couldn't help but stare at the last one. Black hair and blue eyes were his favorite combination in a boy, his undoing. He was tall, but not taller than Magnus, and lanky though he wore an oversized black sweater and faded out by most standers.
"Hey, Alec." Aline crossed her arms, her smile still covering her face. The black haired boys eyes went straight to her, and he tilted his head as if silently asking her what she wanted. So Alec was his name. Short for Alexander he guessed. It was a nice name, or maybe he just thought so because it was attached to someone with such beauty. Any name could be nice if it belonged to someone with looks like his. "Your girlfriend seems rather upset. She just stormed off down the hallway." Magnus could sense the amusement in her voice as she spoke. Girlfriend? This was her boyfriend? Well that was not something he wanted to hear, not that he was interested him. He wasn't supposed to be. This Alec guy was someone he was to stay away from.
"Aline." He sighed as he looked down, and back up. His gaze went to Magnus and stayed there for a moment like he was just seeing him now. He quickly snapped out of it and looked back to her though, the corners of her mouth folding up slightly, "Maybe you should stop upsetting her so much."
"Alec, we'll meet you out back. You go deal with Cassie." The blonde with green eyes had a cigarette in his hands and a look that said he did not envy him having him to deal her. Alec just gave them a nod and shook his head as they walked away.
"Everyone hates to deal with her. I don't even know why you bother. If I were you, I would just break up with her. No one needs that in their life." Aline lowered her voice as she leaned in.
"I'm not going to break up with her." He rolled his eyes and leaned against the wall.
"Everyone knows she isn't the only girl you have behind doors, and you sure aren't the only guy she has either. You might as well." Aline had lost emotion in her voice. She was just reciting facts and no longer took interest in the feelings it would cause. Alec's lip twitched slightly but he recovered it and smiled while putting his head down, his hair falling over his face. That seemed to trigger something in him, but he did seem like the kind of guy who got around with everyone he could get. He was good looking enough to if he wanted to anyway, and he seemed to be popular enough to here as well.
"I, am the only guy she gets with, and whoever tells you otherwise is a liar." Alec looked up, his face blank, but his voice stern. His hands were fumbling in his pocket for a package of cigarettes. He slowly opened it and grabbed one before putting it back in his pocket, "Now, I have to go have a smoke before dealing with the mess you left me. Goodbye Aline and, whoever you are." Alec had finally brought attention to him. So, he wasn't completely invisible. There was nothing worse than when people had conversations in front of you and acted like you weren't there. As far as Magnus was concerned right now though, this Alec guy wasn't bad at all. Not bad enough to have to stay away from. Sure, he smoked but he was perfectly capable of saying no and not giving into peer pressure. What could be so awful about someone who seemed to harmless?
"It's Magnus." He raised his hand while watching him walk away. Alec stopped, and stood still for a moment before turning back.
"Goodbye, Magnus."
