Okay guys, so sorry don't even know what happened with chapter 3 & 4. Thanks for telling us though! Tell us if there are anymore problems.
Alec POV
"I- Er- do I have to?" He asked quietly. Mr Starkweather nodded and gave and encouraging smile, he waved a hand towards the middle of the room, gesturing for Alec to take his place there. He took a shaking breath and shuffled towards the spot, he caught Magnus' eye briefly but looked away quickly. "Well, Alec, what are you going to sing for us today?" Mr Starkweather asked him, Alec's mind went through a mental blank, he looked towards Izzy for help and all she mouthed out was 'One'. Alec pushed a hand through his messy locks. "Uhm, I will be singing One by Ed Sheeran." He said quietly, Mr Starkweather smiled. "Pleas, go ahead Mr Lightwood." he said. Alec glanced over at Magnus Bane who was watching him intently with his green eyes, specked with gold. He took a deep breath and looked towards the audience before he began to sing.
"Tell me that you turned down the man
Who asked for your hand
'Cause you're waiting for me
And I know, you're gonna be away a while
But I've got no plans at all to leave
And would you take away my hopes and dreams and just stay with me?
All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll never leave again
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one
Take my hand and my
Heart and soul, I will
Only have these eyes for you
And you know, everything changes but
We'll be strangers if we see this through
You could stay within these walls and bleed
Or just stay with me
Oh lord, now
All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one"
(*song belongs to the amazing Ed Sheeran. No copyright intended)
He finished the song melodically and flushed bright red as he saw all of the gaping faces in front of him. He could of sworn he saw a girl in the corner wipe at her eyes. The room broke into an applause and Mr Starkweather stood up with a wide grin on his face. "Welcome to Glee Club Alec." He said and gestured for Alec to take a seat. Alec hurried over to a spare seat on the other side of Jace to where Clary was sitting. It just so happened to be in the seat in front of a certain sparkle-clad boy. As he was walking to his seat, the glitter clad boy who Alec now identified as Magnus Bane, was watching with a satisified smile. Alec couldn't help but flush. Jace looked at him with wide eyes as he sat down. "I knew you could sing, but not like- sing." He said gaping at his brother. Alec rolled his eyes and slunk down in his seat. "I'm only at this stupid club for you, it doesn't matter if I can sing or not." He said quietly and nodded towards the front urging Jace to pay attention to Mr Starkweather who had begun talking about some competition. "So, regionals are coming up in two weeks and we are very unprepared this year." He sounded extremely grave. "I have chosen out our two songs that we will perform for the competition" he held up two piles of sheet music "I will assign you a class member and you two will work together to learn the songs and then in three days time I want all pairs to have a performance ready to show the class and the best pair get to sing the duet in regionals!" He said looking around as a small cheer went through the room that Alec did not participate in. He instead massaged his temples wondering how in hell he got into this situation. Mr Starkweather held up a hand to silence the class, they all slowly fell into silence and he continued. "I will call out a name and a corresponding name and they will be your pairs." He announced and begun to list them off. "Isabelle Lightwood with Clarissa Fray." He said, the two girls grinned and instantly shot into conversation over what they would do for their performance. "Jace Herondale with Mike Chang." He said looking at the two boys. Jace patted Alec on the back and made his way over to Mike where they greeted in a Bro hug. Alec gulped, he didn't want to end up with someone he barely knew "Alexander Lightwood with..."
Magnus' POV
"Alexander Lightwood with... Magnus Bane." Mr Starkweather called before continuing to call out the other pairs. Magnus grinned immediately. Surely, this guaranteed him a place in the duet at regionals. Alec was obviously an amazing singer. And Mr Starkweather would only give the duet to good singers. Together, Magnus thought, he and Alec would surely win. He wondered what the songs for regionals were and was snapped out his thoughts by Mr Starkweather finishing the list of names. Everyone had their partner.
Mr Starkweather called everyone who were chattering excitedly together. "Now, as for our songs for regionals the first song will be Cosby Sweater. If you wish to perform that, you may. Otherwise, you will both be singing Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Ray. Either of those songs will be fine. But only work on one of those songs with your partner. Duets will be due this Friday." He told them all. Magnus nodded. It was Monday, they had a whole week. Hopefully, Alec already knew the song and was free every afternoon this week, because they needed to practise if they were going to win. And Magnus really really wanted to win.
After Mr Starkweather had finished going on about finals and costumes etc, everyone turned to their partners to decided their song, either Cosby Sweater or Young and Beautiful, and decided which parts of the song they would sing. Mr Starkweather also informed them that there was sheet music for both songs up the front near the piano. Magnus nodded and climbed over the row of chairs so he was seated next to Alexander. Alexander, however, looked at him baffled. "We're doing a Young and Beautiful. Unless of course, you can rap. But I doubt that." Magnus told him. Alec flushed slightly and nodded.
"Okay, that sounds good." He said quietly. "Are you free every afternoon this week?" Magnus proceeded to ask. "Um- I think so?" Alec replied with a shrug. "Why?" "Because we need to practise! We want to win. We can't just let someone else win. I have to sing in the duet at regionals. And this year, I might actually be in for a chance." Magnus said, sounding very annoyed and frustrated with Alec. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Alec sink down his chair. "Sorry." Magnus muttered, crossing his arms over his chest. "Would you be happy to meet up here after school today?" He asked. Alec frowned but nodded anyway. "Sure. I don't have anything on." Magnus nodded, cheering up slightly. "Good. I'll meet you then. We can begin practising." The bell rung and Mr Starkweather dismissed them. Alec walked out of the room quicker than what Magnus thought possible. Magnus stood up slowly as Alec was out the door. He stretched and slunk out the door to his History class.
Magnus walked through the door slowly, his books in hand. Catarina, as usual, had saved a seat for him. He hadn't seen her in Glee club since they'd split up to talk with their partners. He suspected that she was with Ragnor for the assignment. Mr Starkweather paired them up for all sorts of things. He smiled at her as he sat down. "Hello, Cat." He said. She grinned back. "Hey Magnus. How did you go with the new kid?" She asked rather curiously. Magnus shrugged. "I don't know. I just see being partnered with him as an advantage. Maybe I'll get the duet this year." He said as Cat rolled her eyes. "I don't get it. Why do you want the duet part so bad?" She asked. "Because, I'm the best in the whole club. But noooo, every year I've been in the club Rachel and Finn have gotten the part. But now they're gone. Out of here. And it's my turn to shine." He said with a wink at Catarina, who rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Magnus." She said as the teacher came in and begun the lesson.
"Ancient Greek Mythology." The teacher, Mrs Branwell wrote on the board. Magnus sighed, he really wasn't in the mood for hearing all about the Zeus' many affairs with mortal women and the cost. He leaned back in his seat, his mind wandering. What was going to happen with Alec tonight? He didn't know what he thought about that boy. He didn't seem all too interesting, but Magnus was extremely attracted to him. He didn't know why. But it was just his infatuation with blue eyes and black hair. He glanced around the room and spotted Camille, his ex girlfriend. He scrunched up his nose, feeling sick to the stomach. He got that feeling whenever he thought or saw her. He didn't know if he missed her. Maybe he did. He thought he had meant something to her. But maybe he was just another toy. He probably was. She had used him like one. As he continued to stare at her, she turned around and glanced at him. Magnus quickly looked away, not wanting to look like the lovesick teenager he was. But she had caught him looking at her. He sighed and ran a hand through his spiked up metallic blue tinted hair and put his down on the table. Mrs Branwell paid him no mind. She never did really. She didn't mind if people drifted off in her class if it was the last few periods of the day.
The bell rang, waking Magnus from his thoughts. He looked up and on the board were some quite extensive notes. He looked at Catarina who smirked at him. "Thinking about that boy the whole lesson were you?" She teased and Magnus rolled his eyes mumbling a "no". Before standing up and leaving the classroom like everyone else. He couldn't be bothered to do anything about those notes and besides, he already knew plenty on Greek mythology. He walked down the halls in the flood of people to his locker, though he didn't blend in with the crowd. He glanced around as he entered the combination to his locker and opened it. On the inside of the door there was still a picture of Camille. He didn't even know why he kept it there. It just made him feel sick. He glared at the picture and ripped it down, scrunching it up in his hands. There was a mirror next to where the picture used to be. He looked at his reflection and sighed. His hair was fine, if a little ruffled, but it always looked like this by the end of the day. Magnus pulled a pocket watch out of his pocket - it had belonged to his great grandfather and his mother demanded that he carry it for good luck. He nodded at the time and shoved it back into his pocket. Then, he shoved his school books into the locker as he heard someone clear their throat behind him and tap him on the shoulder. Magnus sighed and turned around to see Camille, her hair pulled to one side and her lips as red and gorgeous as usual.
"Hello Magnus." She said. "What do you want know?" Magnus asked, looking pissed. Camille looked at him rather sadly and he cursed her for making him want to hug her. "Oh Magnus, don't be like that. I really do regret what I did." She said looking up at him and reaching out to touch his cheek. Magnus turned his back on her, slamming his locker shut. Her hand was left hanging in the air. She looked rather disappointed as he walked away to the music room. Honestly, couldn't Camille leave him alone?! She'd expressed what she felt at the end of the summer. Magnus didn't need her to get his hopes up that it was all a lie. He sighed and pushed the door to the music room open and turned on the lights. No one was hear which meant he'd have to wait for Alec to come.
Alec POV
Last Period was finally over. Alec let out a sigh of relief as he left the stuffy english classroom. He then substituted this for a groan as he saw the usual crowd filling the hallways. Alec joined the corridor traffic and shuffled along at the pace of a snail until he reached his locker. He put in his combination and opened it. His locker was almost completely empty apart from his file holders that were filled with school text books. He piled in his exercise book and novel that he was reading for class; To kill a mockingbird. It really was an interesting read although not really Alec's type of book. He looked at the time on his mobile phone and banged his head against the locker door, he was meant to be meeting with Magnus this afternoon. He quickly attempted to flatten down his hair when his locker slammed shut and then standing in front of him was none other than his sister Isabelle. A devilish smirk stretched across her face.
"Did you have something you wanted to tell me Alec?" She asked playing for innocence, her hair was flowing over her shoulder and she looked stunning as always, Alec looked at her. "No..." He said clearly confused, Izzy rolled her eyes. "Oh, I think you do." She insisted. He cocked his head to the side as he mentally went through what he could possibly have to tell her and then it hit him. "I'm guessing you are talking about my practice session with Magnus this afternoon?" He said, Izzy Nodded eagerly. "It's pretty obvious that you have a thing for him." She said as Alec went deep red. "It is not." He said and looked at his shoes. "If it makes you feel better it's clear he has a thing for you too." She said and touched the necklace she had around her neck that was a red stone in the shape of a square, touching it was a habit she had taken up since their parents had begun fighting. "Really?" He asked perking up a bit. "Totally, I think you should make a move." She said and looked at him with huge dark eyes. "We only just met izzy!" He exclaimed, throwing his hands up, Izzy scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Well then, do what any sane person would do and flirt with him!" She said smirking. Alec paled slightly. "Oh no, I have no clue how to flirt and I am not trying it out on him. Besides I heard some girls saying at the start of this year that his girlfriend broke up with him. So he evidently isn't into guys." He said this sentence a bit quieter than the rest. "Oh for gods sake Alec, you don't know. He could be Bisexual." she said in a condescending tone. Alec pushed a hand through his rumpled hair. "I don't know Izzy, how do you know he likes me?" He asked. "Alec are you blind?!" She asked him. "He called you blue eyes, that is flirting." She said looking at him hopelessly. "I wish someone would call me Blue Eyes." She said almost sulkily. "Izzy, you don't even have blue eyes." He shook his head and she rolled her eyes. "Whatever Alec, anyway please please please do this!" She begged, Alec put his head in his hands. "If I say yes will you go away?" He asked hopefully. Izzy nodded. "Yup, I promise." She said, clearly pleased. "Fine." Alec agreed and dropped his hands, raising his head he saw her grin. "How do I flirt?" He asked quietly. Izzy gaped at him for two seconds before regaining her elegant posture. "Just... Compliment him. Say something nice about him to him." She said simply. "Can we please stop using the word 'him' where everyone can hear?!" He asked. "Ugh, you are such a fuddy duddy." She complained. "Weren't you leaving?" He asked impatiently, Izzy squeaked. "That's right! I have cheerleading practice, good luck Alec!" She said before walking away to cheerleading. Alec sighed started making his way to the music room. The was a light on so he presumed that Magnus was already there. He put a hand on the music room door knob before taking a deep breath and walking in.
