WILL WE SEE MISTER KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR?! YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT LADIES AND GENTS!
Alec went to first period feeling more confused than ever. He never told anyone he was gay, not even his family, his dad being the obvious exception. Aside from that he wasn't attractive in the least, not like Jace and Isabelle who just seemed to radiate beauty, who the fuck was claiming to be in love with him? This had to be a joke. Alec planned to find out.
Quickly pulling out his phone before the math professor Mrs. Seelie walked in he decided to text his mysterious admirer.
"Hi….um..i got your note. This is a joke right?" It didn't take long for Alec to receive a reply.
"Not at all gorgeous! I've had eyes for you since the day I learned of your existence!"
Alec was stunned. Not only did he have a secret admirer but apparently it was love and first sight. This was exactly what he didn't need right now.
"Look I don't know who put you up to this but it isn't funny. I don't even know who you are, how do you know me anyway?"
"You see more a lot more than you think you do sweetness. In fact, I can see you right now."
Alec's head shot up in unmasked horror. Looking around the room he saw no one that was openly on their phone, nor anyone giving him any suspicious looks. Who was this guy?
"Ok can you at least tell me your name?"
"Hmmm…no can do cutie. How about this? You let me take you on a date, and I'll give you my name. Deal?"
Alec didn't even have to think about his answer.
"No fucking way. For all I know you could be some creepy stalker. I don't need this. If this is some game I encourage you to knock it off."
"I'm actually insulted you think my feelings for you would be a game. I assure you I'm very serious. I was serious about my note too. I think a nice white v-neck would do wonders for your eyes babe. Add maybe some black straight legs and a black beanie, hmmm you'd be irresistible, especially if the shirt was a little tight showing off that hidden muscle, I might just faint. Seriously do it, you'd be in my dreams even more than you are now ;)"
Alec couldn't help the red blush that dusted his cheeks, this guy was unbelievable!
"Okay, how about we start slow? My name is Alexander Gideon Lightwood, I am 18 years old a senior. I have no hobbies and no friends. I have no desire to date anyone right now; In fact, I would appreciate being invisible this year just as much as I've been for the past 3 years of high school. You approached the wrong guy buddy, I have no desire to date anyone right now and I don't own a white v-neck. So, I hope this clears up the fact that IM NOT INTERESTED."
"Not interested right now? I'm sure with the right….persuasion I could get you to fall in love with me. I've waited long enough, and I've grown impatient. How about this blue eyes, Tomorrow you dress up for me and I'll tell you my name, along with how you know me, as long as you agree to go on at least one date with me. Nothing fancy, just a casual lunch and stroll in the park since your still in the closet and everything."
"I don't understand. I'm not popular, I don't have friends and I don't have enemies. How the hell did you know I was gay?"
"Oh please, first of all girls love you, you just don't notice them because you THINK your invisible. Everyone knows you're the school's regulation hottie who doesn't talk to anyone and keeps his gorgeous muscles to himself. Secondly, you don't date girls you, get dressed in the bathroom at gym, cringe at anything sexual in health class, and hang back and avoid any athletic ego centric male in this school. Those are the basic characteristics of a gay man that any other gay man would see if he had eyes. Not to mention, I would have pined after you even if you weren't gay and prayed for the fucking best. You're gorgeous babe, not to mention smart and humble. You're the perfect package, I have to have you."
"…Fine, what the hell, I'll wear the fucking clothes and go on a date with you. Please just stop talking, you're embarrassing me. None of those things are true anwyays. You better not tell anyone about this."
"YES! I won't let you down! We're gonna have the best day ever! Talk to you later sweetness! *Smooches*"
Alec put his head down and sighed heavily. How the fuck did he just agree to a wardrobe change and a date when he planned to reject this clown? Unbelievable. The bell rang shaking him out of his thoughts. Apparently he had texted this guy the whole period and missed the lesson, great.
Standing up and heading for his next class Alec wasn't paying attention and rammed into another person at full force sending them both to the ground. Effectively knocking over both of their books and once again, opening his still aching wounds. Alec clutched his stomach in pain, this day could not possibly get any worse.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry!"
Or maybe it could. Looking up Alec saw possibly the most beautiful man he had ever laid eyes on. He was wearing bright yellow skinny jeans that seemed to be painted on his toned legs. He wore a bright purple cheetah vest that sat on top of a black fish net shirt, effectively showing bits of his defined stomach. His face was exotic, maybe Asian? He wore a sheen lip gloss with bright yellow eye shadow and dark charcoal eye liner, effectively making is bright yellow-green eyes pop.
He was gorgeous. And he was talking, and Alec wasn't hearing a thing.
"I'm sorry say that again?"
"I just asked if you were okay darling, you seemed to take quite a spill there."
"Oh…I'm fine! Just surprised that's all."
The gorgeous stranger smiled at him effectively making him lose his breath. He couldn't help but feel like this guy was familiar….
"I'm sorry… do I know you from somewhere?"
"That depends, if I say yes does that mean I get to hear more of your gorgeous voice?"
Alec blushed furiously. He could tell this guy was definitely a charmer. He was so smooth in his words, his actions were borderline graceful. He was…trouble. Alec wasn't allowed to like anyone, god forbid anyone find out his secret, he would be done for.
"I-I'm s-sorry, I have to go. Sorry again for knocking your books over, it was nice meeting you."
Alec made a beeline for the door. His heart was racing in all the wrong ways. He liked him, that couldn't happen.
"What if he finds out my secret? He would be disgusted. I could never be with someone that beautiful, there's no way he'd put up with all my bullshit baggage. Besides, I have to much on my plate already, there's no time for relationships.
Alec knew he was right, but he couldn't help but hope he was wrong. The rest of the school day passed by in a blur, and finally he got out and headed straight to the grocery store. Mentally checking off what they did and didn't need he finished shopping and brought the bags out the car. On his way out, he couldn't help but notice the shopping mall conveniently placed just right across the street.
Oh right, I have to buy a white v-neck or whatever for this guy.
In a spur of the moment decision Alec walked across the street into the shopping mall. It was so large and intimidating, no wonder he never came here before.
Walking down the huge hall he couldn't help but ogle all the stores wondering which one was right for him.
"Journey's? That looks like it more down my ally."
Walking in Alec was immediately bombarded by a woman cashier asking if he needed help. Now, he didn't want to accept, but he was in desperate need of help, he was certainly no fashion guru.
"Um actually, do you happen to have…white v-necks?"
"Of course! Follow me!"
The cashier was actually really very nice. She helped Alec pick out a multitude of clothes. Including a white v-neck, some straight legs jeans in blue black and grey, as well as a nice leather jacket and many colored beanies. They walked around the whole store until Alec also added combat boots and vans to his wardrobe, with some very nice smelling cologne. He couldn't help it, he felt bad if he didn't buy everything the cashier recommended, she was just so nice.
"You know what would do you wonders dear? A haircut! There's a place just two stores over that does the best haircuts in town! I think it would do wonders for your eyes!"
Alec couldn't help but a nervous hand through his hair. Maybe she was right, it was a little on the long side…
"That actually sounds great, how about we ring all this stuff up and I'll go right over there. The cashiers face lit up, looking at her name tag he saw her name was… Tessa. She was really very pretty and ridiculously friendly. Had he been straight he could imagine himself pining for someone like her.
Finally paying for all his clothing Alec journeyed over to the hair salon stylishly named "Good Vibes." He was nervous but a good kind of nervous, excited. He hadn't been excited or even happy in years. It was both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time.
Alec watched in wonder as all his hair began to fall off at the hand of the stylist's scissors. It seemed like he was losing part of himself, but he wasn't sure if he was happy or sad about it.
When the stylist was finally done Alec looked at himself in wonder, he was…attractive. He had never felt like he was good looking, only horribly disgusting in comparison to Jace or Isabelle, but now he felt…dare he say, good.
( here's the hair cut guys . )
Alec felt himself walk out feeling slightly confident. He was feeling better than he had in years. Looking at the clock his eyes widened and he hurriedly walked out to the car, he couldn't believe it was 3 o'clock already. He picked up Max, who animatedly gushed over his new change of hair the whole ride home. Luckily for him, Max's sports were canceled today due to rain, which cut his chores for the day in half. He quickly filled out checks for the school lunches, cooked dinner, and set the plates in the microwave for Jace and Izzy who probably had gone out with friends after school.
Worn out, Alec went upstairs and begrudgingly started his homework, only to receive a text message a half hour in.
"Don't forget to dress nice for me sweety. You know how much I'm looking forward to it. ;) Goodnight blue eyes "
Alec was afraid to admit that he was excited too. Looking at his bag of new clothes he couldn't help but feel that this was the start of a change for him. He never got his hopes up, his first priority was always going to be his family. But he wanted to fit in, and this was a good start. Right? I mean it certainly couldn't hurt. Finishing up the last bit of his homework he quickly changed into a comfy pair of sweatpants, and drifted off to sleep.
