Disclaimer: I don't own the mortal instruments Cassandra Clare does and I don't own the Popular song at the end Mika does :D
"Hi My name's Alexander Lightwood, has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful eyes?" Alec shook his head, why was practicing pick-up lines again? Oh right! He wanted to impress a certain Cat eyed, sparkly man called Magnus Bane.
Magnus Bane was the guy Alec had the tiniest crush on… Okay Massive crush on. Alec basically drooled over Magnus every time he saw him, only Magnus could pull off jeans that tight. But Magnus Bane didn't even know that Alec existed, Alec was in most of Magnus's classes but Alec sat up the front and stayed quiet the whole time because he was a good student and payed attention to the lesson.
To get himself noticed by Magnus Bane he decided to practice pick-up lines in front of the bathroom mirror; he locked the door because he didn't want any of his siblings walking in on him doing this stupid thing.
"Hello there fellow human, my name is Alec, what's your name" he outstretched his hand to the mirror, pretending that his reflection was Magnus.
"No…" he muttered, "that's not a good one."
He flicked his hair out of his blue eyes "Hey I'm Alec, did it hurt when you fell from the place in the sky called heaven?"
Alec sighed "This is so stupid!" he sat down on the toilet lid and buried his head in his hands.
He knew if he ever got the chance to speak to Magnus he would probably blush, the brightest shade of red, stutter complete nonsense and run away as fast as he could.
Someone banged on the bathroom door loudly, "Alec get out of the bathroom! You're hogging it up!"
It was his sister Isabelle, she looked a lot like Alec except she had black eyes instead of boring old blue eyes like Alec and of course there was the fact that she was a girl and he was a boy.
Alec was jealous of his sister, well he was jealous of all his siblings even his nine year old brother. He was jealous of them because they were attractive, athletic and confident, they were everything he wasn't. All Alec was good at was staying in the closet and the creative stuff like music and art, but he wasn't that good at all that stuff.
"Get out Alec!" Isabelle screamed.
"I'm getting out!" Alec said opening the bathroom door and stepping out.
"Thank you!" Isabelle said walking into the bathroom and closing the door.
Alec walked down the hall to his bedroom and finished packing his bag for school.
"Alec!" Jace yelled running into Alec's room "remember not to wait for me this afternoon I've got football practice."
Max ran into the room "Don't bother picking me up today Alec!" he said jumping on Alec's neatly made bed "I have band practice and you don't have to pick me up from that because I'm staying over Marks."
Alec nodded and pulled his bag over his shoulder, "got it."
He walked down stairs with Jace and Max following behind him pestering him about breakfast, they said that Isabelle had made them poison so he had to make them edible food.
Alec sighed and put waffles that you have to put in the toaster to make it and told Jace and Max that the non-poisonous will be ready in a few minutes. When the toaster popped Alec fished out the waffles using a knife, because he cares about safety and all that. He put them on plates at placed them to Jace and Max, they wolfed them down in seconds.
Alec looked at the clock "Time to go guys" he told them walking out towards his car, his parents bought it for him a few weeks ago because they had forgotten his birthday and thought: hey let's buy Alec a car! He'll forget that we forgot!
Alec slid into the driver's side and waited for his siblings to get in, once they were in the car and all buckled up, Alec started the car and drove to their high school, St Xavier's.
Alec ignored his siblings bickering and concentrated on driving, every morning was the same Isabelle would say something then Jace would say something stupid then Isabelle would yell at him then Jace would yell back and it continued back and forth with Max watching it like a tennis match.
Alec was still kicking himself for practicing stupid pick-up lines in front of the mirror, who uses pick-up lines anyway? Alec thought, No one does you dummy!
He didn't know why he even bothered, Magnus has a girlfriend! Camille Bellcourt one of the biggest bitches in school, she's all blond hair and heels. There's no brain in that blond head of hers just air.
Alec parked his car in the school parking lot and got out. He waited for his siblings to get out so he could lock his car door. Max got out of the car first and waved a quick goodbye to Alec and walked across the road to his primary school.
Isabelle and Jace got out still yelling insults at each other and basically pushed past Alec not every bothered to say a goodbye or see you soon. Alec sighed and locked his car and walked up to the front entrance to the school.
Alec didn't hate his siblings for acting like that; it's just how they were. They got caught up in things and forgot about everything, Alec loved his siblings no matter how stupid and irritating they can be at times.
Alec walked through the schools entrance and dodged various students to get to his locker. He was battling with his locker's lock when Isabelle walked up.
"Alec, don't wait for me this afternoon" she said flicking her hair back "I have cheerleading practice."
Alec nodded and finally got his locker's lock to unlock, Isabelle walked off the sea of students parting to the side of the hall to let her walk through with ease.
Alec got his books for the first three periods out of his locker, shut his locker's door and clicked the lock back in place. As Alec tried to get to his class he was pushed out of the way causing him to drop all of his books and make his loose papers fly everywhere.
"Move it" Camille Bellcourt hissed.
Alec glared up at her and started to pick up his books and notes off the ground, Camille sneered and kicked a few of his books away from him and stalked off, her insanely high heels clicking as she walked off.
The bell rung out and students in the halls rushed off to their first class, they knocked into Alec and kicked his books and papers around the hall.
Alec sighed and kept on picking up his books, it was alright if he was late to his first class all the teachers liked him and they would probably let him off with a warning.
Someone bent down and joined Alec on the floor and started helping him pick up his notes and books.
"I don't need your help" Alec looked up at the person and almost fainted it was Magnus Bane.
"Well I'm still going to help you" Magnus Bane handing Alec his books and notes.
"T-t-t-thanks" Alec stuttered, standing up, he could feel the heat rushing up to his face.
"No problem" Magnus said, his cat eyes sparking with something Alec couldn't put his finger on, "Sorry about Camille she's a bitch."
Alec's eyes widened when Magnus said that Camille was a bitch. Weren't boyfriends meant to tell other guys how great and fantastic their girlfriends were?
"Camille's my girlfriend by the way" Magnus said "So I'm only allowed to say that" Magnus flashed Alec a brilliant smile.
Alec felt the heat rush up to his face and he looked down at the floor.
"Are you new to St Xavier's?" Magnus asked.
Alec shook his head "N-no I-I've b-b-been at-t-tending this sc-chool fr-rom grad-de eight."
Alec cursed his stupid stutter it only gets this bad when he's nervous or scared.
Magnus's mouth made an 'O' shape "sorry I just haven't noticed you before."
Alec nodded "I-its o-ok-kay" he stuttered out.
"I don't know why I've never noticed you before, blue eyes" Magnus said, Alec noted how Magnus's smile lit up his green eyes making them sparkle.
"You have really nice eyes" Alec blurted out, he felt the heat rush up to his face so to save himself from further embarrassment he rushed past Magnus to his class.
Alec got to his science class his teacher, Mr Garroway, Gave him a disappointed look.
"Mr Lightwood" he said, turning the class's attention towards him, "care to explain why you were late?" he asked.
"U-um" he said "I-I was having trouble with m-my locker and I-I dropped my stuff on the way here" He explained.
"You can clean up the music room at lunch" Mr Garroway said, "Someone trashed it last night."
Alec nodded and went to his seat, it didn't really matter that he had to clean up a trashed music room, it's not like he ate lunch with anyone, at lunch he'd usually just find somewhere alone to eat lunch and listen to music off his phone or study.
The bell rung and Alec got up and went to his next class, math with Mr Starkweather, Alec got to his next class early. He sat through Math taking down every little thing Mr Starkweather said and tried to ignore the cat eyed boy only a few rows behind him.
The bell rang out and Alec practically ran out of his math room to get to Art. He had Miss Fairchild; she was one of Alec's favourite teachers. She always praised Alec for his work in music and art. She was also a good person to talk to if he ever needed to.
"Hi Miss Fairchild" Alec greeted as he stepped through the door to the art room, he was early to art, the only other student in there was Clary, Miss Fairchild's daughter and Jace's girlfriend.
"Hi Alec, nice to see you" Miss Fairchild said.
"Hi" Clary said smiling at Alec.
"Hi Clary" Alec said, taking his seat beside her, they weren't the best of friends but they still talked and all.
The class slowly filled up with more people, once everyone was in the class the lesson began.
"Okay class" Miss Fairchild said, "I'm giving you some free time, seeing as you're all in the middle of exam block and all."
The class cheered and got out their art books and started drawing. Aec pulled out his art book and got out his coloured pencils and started to draw, he had no idea what he was drawing until Clary pointed it out.
"Wow Alec" she said "that's an amazing eye; it kinda reminds me of Magnus Banes."
Alec looked down at his page and saw that it looked a lot like Magnus's, It was shaped like a cat eye and the shades of green and gold in it was so very similar to Magnus's.
"Th-th-thanks" Alec stuttered flipping the page over and drawing pointless scribbles on it, he could feel the heat rush up to his face, he wasn't used to people praising him for his drawings, his parents sometimes did but only if they saw it.
For the rest of the lesson Alec scribbled all over his page, when the bell rung Clary gave him a look that said: you're being weird again and walked out. Alec slowly started to pack up his things up.
"Alec" Miss Fairchild said, walking over to his desk, "Luke- I mean Mr Garroway" she said correcting herself, Alec knew that Miss Fairchild and Mr Garroway had some sort of close relationship that teachers didn't have.
"Mr Garroway told me to remind you that you have to clean up the music room" she said, smiling.
Alec nodded "Yep, I'm going right now" he smiled and slid out of his chair.
"Good" Miss Fairchild said, nodding, " Just to warn you it's a bit of a mess, some kids must've gotten in the school last night and trashed it up, probably some sort of prank."
Alec nodded "got it" He picked up his books and walked out of the art room.
When Alec got to the music room he found it completely trashed. The drums set was pulled apart and all over the room, the guitars were on the floor and on tables, the chairs were all around the room, other various musical instruments were around the place as well, like a trumpet in the trophy case a triangles hanging off the ceiling fan! And did he forget to mention that there was toilet paper everywhere! On the roof, the walls, shredded on the floor and even in the piano!
Alec put his books down on the only table spare of a musical instrument or toilet paper. He sighed and started to clean up. He put the drum set together and hung the guitars back on the guitar racks and stacked the chairs properly.
He put all the other musical instruments back in their correct spots, not on ceiling fans or in trophy cases. He pulled the toilet paper out of the piano and pulled the toilet paper off the roof and walls.
Alec got a broom and started to sweep up the shredded toilet paper all over the floor. The song that Alec had wrote a couple weeks ago came back into his head. It was a silly song that he wrote about popularity. Alec jumped up onto a chair, he decided to sing it he hasn't sung a song in forever and he thought that he should at least sing a song he wrote.
"La la, la la
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
Standing on the field with your pretty pompoms
Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song
Said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
Alec jumped down off the chair and spun around with the broom pretending that it was a dance partner and sung the chorus.
"My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
You were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
Cause my song is popular"
He spun the broom around on the floor and swept up some more toilet paper.
"Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know"
Alec threw some of the toilet paper in the bin and danced randomly, the only music was his voice.
"Catch up cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up cause you got an awful long way to go"
Alec swept up more toilet paper and used the broom as a microphone for the next part in the song.
"Always on the lookout for someone to hate,
Picking on me like a dinner plate
You hid during classes, and in between them
Dunk me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans them
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Uh, the joke's on you
Got everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
How come you look so cool?
Cause that's the only thing that I've learned at school, boy
So that's the only thing I've learned at school"
Alec jumped up onto a table with the broom in his hand and swept the toilet paper on it off and belted out the chorus.
"My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
You were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
Cause my song is popular
Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know"
Alec jumped off the table and threw more of the toilet paper in the bin
"Catch up cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up cause you got an awful long way to go
All you ever need to know
you're only ever who you were
All you ever need to know
you're only ever who you were"
Alec smiled at the clean room and sand the rest of the song.
"Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you.
That's all you ever need to know..."
Alec laughed and picked up his books off the table, it's been a while since he's been able to sing so freely and muck around. He was glad no one had seen him do that he'd probably die from embarrassment.
Alec walked out of the music room smiling like an idiot and made his way to his locker to get his lunch and books for the next periods.
Alec didn't notice that there was a certain cat eyed, sparkly man standing near the window of the music room.
So yeah... tell me what you all think :D should I continue or should I delete it and flush my computer down the toilet for writing it?
P.S. if you actually finished reading it sorry that it was so long XD
-Kate.
