Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the plot.

Betad by my lovely friend Rissa and my best friend LowIce.

Alec POV

I woke up to the sound of someone banging of my bedroom door.

"Get up lazy ass. We are gonna be late!" I heard Jace shout.

"Go away!" I shouted back before I got up from my bed.

I sighed as I started to dress myself. I had been dreading this day, the first day back at school after the summer holiday.

The first day in four years that I had to face Magnus Bane again.

I absentmindedly put on the clothes I had chosen yesterday, black jeans (which actually fitted) and a black sweater.

I slowly made my way down to the kitchen and the rest of my family.

We ate breakfast in silence but when Jace and I were finally ready to go to campus, mum started crying and said that she'll miss us so much.

Both me and Jace hugged her and assured her that we would be just fine and she didn't have to worry about us.

Our sister Isabelle and baby brother Max also came to say goodbye.

But our father wasn't here. He wasn't even home, and if he would have been home he still wouldn't come to say goodbye. And that was because of me. For him I had stopped to exist.

Last week I had finally told my parents that I was gay. My mother had taken it well and said that she had already figured it out by herself.

My father on the other hand hadn't accepted me at all. If he were to decide I would have been living on the street until school started. Fortunately for me my mother saved me from that.

Isabelle, Jace and Max had already known for years that I was gay. Isabelle was just happy for me that I finally told our parents, but she was furious at dad for not accepting me. She had stopped talking to him the minute he had stopped talking to me.

Eventually mum stopped crying and I and Jace were off to our new school and life.

Despite everything that had happen the previous week I was now standing outside of my new home, room 215.

I heard sound from the inside, which meant that Magnus was already here. I gathered all my courage and opened the door.

I froze at the sight of the room. There was color and glitter everywhere!

The curtains hanging in the window were rainbow colored and were sparkling. One bed, Magnus's bed, was hot pink and Magnus's desk was cluttered with make-up and glitter in every color possible.

Magnus himself was standing with his back towards me. He wore tight, black leather pants and a tight, purple tank top. His hair was spiked and had glitter in it.

I stepped into the room and closed the door after me. The low click from the door when it closed made Magnus realize that he wasn't alone in the room anymore.

He stiffened and then he slowly turned around.

I held my breath while he looked at me, dreading the worst. I watched his face closely, searching for any emotions.

He wore make-up, black eyeliner and some light purple eye shadow that made his eyes pop. The eyes that I hated were green with just a hint of golden in them and had pupils like a cat.

The emotion I found in his face was unexpected. He looked shocked.

I immediately started to hope. Had he forgotten about me? Was there any chance that he wouldn't bully me anymore? I really hoped that he had forgotten all about me, even if I hadn't forgotten about him.

But then he started to smirk.

"Well, well... Isn't it my little Closet Boy?"

His words made me want to just lie down and cry, breaking all my hopes that he had forgotten me. But instead of lying down and crying I just walked past him to my bed, plucking with my bag. Maybe he would leave me alone and continue doing what he had been doing before I came into the room.

But of course that didn't happen.

Magnus came to stand by me, and put an arm around my shoulders.

"Long time no see!" he said, "I almost didn't recognize you at first. You look so different."

I didn't know what to do or say, so I just stood there and didn't say anything.

Magnus must have felt that I was uncomfortable, because he soon let go of me and took a few steps away from me, with a strange look on his face.

"Anyway" he said quickly with a superior voice, "I'm already done unpacking, so I'm gonna leave and go to meet my friends. Don't you dare touch any of my stuff, especially not my make-up and glitter!"

And with one last glare towards me, he stormed out of the room.

I sat down, shocked, on my bed, before I started unpacking my things.

When I was done unpacking my things, I went to find Jace and together we went to the school cafeteria.

As I and Jace sat down at a table, I heard a voice a bit behind me.

"You should have seen the look on his face, it was pathetic. I swear that he almost started crying." Magnus and his friends started laughing.

I wanted to sink through the floor. I felt Jace's glance at me and I looked up at his face. He looked concerned.

"Dude, you look like a ghost. Are you alright?" I shook my head.

"Do you want to leave?" he asked.

I nodded slightly, I didn't trust my voice not to break if I said anything.

Jace followed me back to my dorm room.

"Are you gonna be alright, or do you want me to stay?" he sounded really concerned.

I only shook my head, I wasn't in the mood for company.

"No, I'm gonna be alright. I just feel like being alone right now."

Jace looked as if he was gonna argue, but then he just nodded. With an "I'll see you tomorrow" he went back to his own place.

Well back inside my room, I went directly to my bed. Second after my head had hit the pillow, I began to cry. And I continued to cry until I fell asleep, exhausted.
