Hello! this was beta read by my friend from school I forget their username but you know who you are. Thank you all for reading up to this point. I don't wanna sound cheesy but it's true! I had an idea for a oneshot or a series. "Llamas with Hats" with Alec and Jace. Is it good? Is it stupid? Let me know. Review and follow! Bye!
Magnus ran down to the clothing store. He yanked open the door with a lot of force. The store was full of tailored suits and amazing quality ties hug from racks. It was quite a dark store, because everything from suits to ties was black. Magnus winced at all the dark colors, but he carried on. He looked around the store and mental frowned at whoever wore these disgraces to the fashion world by choice. He allied around picking at the clothes on the racks. Magnus knew he couldn't redefine his style of his own, but he wanted to try. Eventually he gave up on try to find it on his own and walked own to the lady who stood by the register.
The girl looked about twelve, but was most likely eighteen. She had bright red hair like fire and eyes green like grass. She had beautiful eyes, but no where near as beautiful as Camille's. The girl had a obviously fake smile on her face as she look him in the eye.
"Hi my name is Clary, how may I help you?" Clary asked unamused. She gave him a look that said 'kill me now!'. Magnus put his hands on the counter a gave Clary a charming smile.
"I need some help finding some suits. First of all I'm going to Harvard and I need to look lawyerly. Second, I have to impress my ex girlfriend and win her back. And third I- Are you even listening to me?!" Magnus yelled. His expression went from charming to angry quickly. Clary, whom been looking at her phone from under the ledge of the counter, snapped her head up suddenly. She looked like she had been snapped out of a daze.
"I'm sorry, what?" Clary asked, she was obviously distracted by the thing on her phone, though Magnus didn't see what it was because after he got her attention she shut off her phone and put it away.
"I said I need your help. I'm becoming a lawyer and I need to impress a girl at the same time and I can't do it alone." Magnus said to Clary. Clary gave him a confused looked.
"Why do you need to change to impress someone? You have quite the fashion sense." Clary said, looking him over. He was wearing a bright green sparkling shirt and purple cargo shorts. It sounds weird, but it was quite fabulous.
"The girl I want needs someone serious. This style, while it may be fabulous, is not serious." Magnus explained sadly. Clary gave a look like she understood and game out from behind the counter. She was short, but cute. She wore a plain white tank top and a long black skirt. Clary took magnus' hand and dragged him around the store.
Everything Magnus saw he hated. It was so bland and colorless. It was the antithesis of his sparkly and flamboyant self. He frowned at everything in the store. Clary noticed his frown and suddenly stopped walking. She turned around and put a hand on his chest.
"Just stop. You hate everything in here. I'm telling you don't change for her. You now what? Come here. I'll put on some music and I'll tell you a story." Clary said as she walked back towards the counter. She then grabbed a stereo from behind the counter. You pressed the button for the tape prayer, then soothing music filled the empty shop.
"So here's my story. I was at a bar with my friends, yes I'm over twenty-one, and i meet this guy. His name was Jordan. He was my best friend's roommate. Now, here's the thing, I love this place in Europe called Idris, and I've always wanted to go there. The people who live there are fierce and strong, and Jordan reminded me of the people in Idris for some reason. When he asked me to move in with him, I said yes. We lived together a year. Then he dumped me for someone girl named Maia, and he took all my art supplies. That's why I'm working here, to pay for a lawyer so I can get my art supplies back." Clary explained. The music now seemed sad after she told her story. The whole atmosphere had changed once she finished her tale of a broken heart.
"That's so sad. But what does that have to do with me?" Magnus asked Clary. She gave him a sad smile.
"I'm telling you that sometimes what you think is true love, really isn't true love. I know because I made that mistake." Clary said. "I don't want you to make the same mistake I did."
Magnus got her point, but it didn't apply to him and Camille. He was sure that was true love. Wasn't he?
"Tell me about Idris." Magnus said changing the subject. Clary smiled, clearly happy that he had asked.
"It's a wonder place. It beautiful and marvelous. The capital city is completely made of glass. At a point in history it was the home to the nephilim, they were half human and half angel beings who protected the earth from demons. Once all the demons earth were destroyed the nephilim wasn't needed anymore and were reborn as regular humans. At least that's how the legend goes." Clary said totally geeking out about her favorite place on earth. Magnus smiled and laughed.
"Clary, what should I do?!" Asked Magnus. "Should I change and get her back or not?"
"No! Don't change for anyone." Shouted Clary "If she doesn't like you for you, then she's clearly blind because your style is on point"
"Thank you, but Camille is my true love." Magnus pleaded. Clary pouted and stared at Magnus.
"I thought that about Jordan,but it wasn't true love, and if she won't accept how you dress and wants something different that's not true love. You need to know that Magnus, I'm sure that there is someone way better for you." Clary said putting a hand on Magnus' shoulder from across the counter. Magnus gave her a sad smile.
"I wanna try to win her back. But I'm not gonna change, I'll win her back without acting serious because I know she loves me." Magnus said confidently. Clary smiled and removed her hand from his shoulder.
"Go! Win her back! Maybe it is true love. I wouldn't know. Go be like someone from Idris. Strong and fierce!" Encouraged Clary as Magnus walked out the door to find Camille.
Round 2 of getting Camille back.
