Alec POV
I woke up to my blaring alarm. I was ready to go back to school since the winter break had dragged on so much. But I didn't really want to wake up early to the alarm. I practically forced myself out of bed to get ready.
I heard someone enter the washroom so I had to wait. Clary came out not seeming too excited about the upcoming school day. I had to force Jace out of bed after I got ready, since he wasted so much time over the break sleeping. He looked like he wanted to kill me but at least he started getting ready.
We were a whole fifteen minutes later because Jace took so long to get ready and then there was an accident. Clary and I said bye to Izzy and Jace and we headed to our lockers. Of course the redhead couldn't get hers open so I had to try. I couldn't get it either so she had to ask one of the teachers who happened to be walking through the hall to help her.
I ended up going to class twenty minutes late without her.
"Alexander, you are late." The math teacher stated, stopping her teaching to look at me.
"I'm aware," I responded curtly, it had been a long morning I didn't feel like being polite.
"Take your seat," The teacher practically screamed. I obeyed and quickly sat down. Clary entered about ten minutes later.
"Why are you almost thirty minutes late to class?" The teacher asked her.
"Locker was jammed," Clary said before taking her seat at the front of the room. After math, we had to go to gym class. We played basketball, it was pretty bad. I was put on the worst team ever. Clary nearly broke her finger. I quickly regretted ever wanting to be back here. Staying at home doing nothing was great in comparison to this.
At lunchtime Clary couldn't get her locker open yet again. Someone came to help her and the home room teacher told her to just leave it open for now. That's why we ended up late to lunch and the monitor looked at us funny. Clary went to sit with her art friends and Izzy and Jace were sitting with their classmates.
I sat at a table that had barely anyone at it in the front of the cafeteria. I ate my lunch quickly, it tasted average. Being so deep in thought I didn't realize anyone was coming towards me until their tray was put on the table right next to mine. I looked up to see a familiar blue haired guy, Magnus. I hadn't seen him since our impromptu trip to the Canary Islands three days prior.
"Hey…" he said, bringing me completely out of my thoughts.
"Oh, Hi."
"So back to school we are." Magnus said not seeing too happy about it.
"Yeah, at least I don't have to stay home doing nothing." I replied trying to make small talk. God I didn't know how to talk to anyone let alone Magnus.
"So Alec...there's something I wanted to ask you." Magnus said to me suddenly.
"Go ahead," I said with a smile.
"Want to go on a proper date this Saturday?" He asked sounding just slightly nervous. I had no idea what to say. Sure we had spent time together before and went all the way to the Canary Islands but we still had not been on a date. What even are we? Just friends or something more? He seemed to be getting kind of upset since I hadn't responded.
"It's okay if you don't want to, no pressure." He said.
"No...I do. I'll go on a date with you this Saturday." I said sounding pretty confident but my heart was beating like crazy. He seemed very happy with me answer. We planned out the details and then the lunch bell rang.
Right after lunch we had science class. In science, I sat near Clary. She took her seat and looked at me.
"So how was lunch?" She asked.
"Oh you know...average." I responded trying to hide my happiness.
"You seem awfully happy." Gosh, she noticed.
"Just glad to be back, you know." I replied turning to face my binder. She tapped me on the shoulder and I reluctantly turned around to face her again.
"I don't buy it." She replied pushing me to answer her.
"Okay fine, I talked to Magnus." I said.
"Oh, well that's great Alec. What about?" Clary was very nosy that day I noticed.
"Just you know stuff. Oh look, class is started we unfortunately cannot discuss it any further." I replied pointing to the front of the class. Luckily the teacher talked for most of the class so Clary didn't have time to ask me anything.
After science I practically ran out of the room but Clary caught up with me.
"Come on Alec, I'm curious. What did you guys talk about that made you so happy?" She pestered again.
"Fine…" I said gritting my teeth, she perked up. I stopped walking and so did she.
"He asked me out...on a date." I whispered to her quickly, a huge smile formed on her face. I started to walk away and she patted me on the back.
"Wow Alec, congrats!" She said, luckily remembering not to be too loud. We continued our walk to social studies and took our seats. Though the redhead could be so annoying, I was happy that she was happy about Magnus and I going out. Maybe I really valued her opinion, at least somewhat. Social Studies was as much of a bore as it usually was.
School was finally over for the day and it had been so painfully normal. At the lockers Clary turned to me.
"You should tell Izzy and Jace when we get home." She said. I nodded slightly thinking I may as well since I already told Clary. Jace had fencing after school and the girls had dance. I took the car home, planning to pick them up afterward.
I got into the car to go get them after some time. Surprisingly, Jace had made it all the way through without being stupid or breaking something. Lydia ended up coming home with us since she had taken the public transit late to school that day.
"Hello," I said.
"Hey Alec." They all said getting into the car. Izzy in the passenger seat and the others in the back.
"You have something to say Alec?" Clary asked, I was hoping she wouldn't. Izzy next to me seemed intrigued. I thought for a second about whether or not to tell Lydia but I decided I may as well.
"Magnus asked me on a date this Saturday." I said bracing myself for their responses. Lydia congratulated me, Jace seemed happy and almost proud and Izzy shrieked. At home Lydia stayed at ours for dinner and Izzy made me tell them how Magnus asked me in detail. It was sort of embarrassing but I was so lucky and very happy that they were supportive.
Lydia left after dinner and the rest of us did some cleaning and watched tv. Izzy talked about dance and Jace discussed fencing. I read some of a book for English and did some math problems that we had for homework. Though the actual school part of the day was even worse than I had originally thought it would be, I was excited for Saturday.
