Izzy POV
I haven't known Tessa for long, but she was completely different person when she was on stage. Her face brightened, the constant worrying look dropped from her face as she addressed the crowd, I could totally believe that the endearing senior was the rocky Scaramouche that was on stage now singing full pelt with Will looking at her with admiration as he sang his lines of the duet. I dragged my eyes away from the fabulous piece of drama in front of me to access everyone's reaction, Grace was sat entranced by the performance, her silver hair was braided in a plate to the side of heart-shaped face, the saffron flowers still hanging honorably in her waves, she was absently tapping her pen against her clipboard, I could already see Will and Tessa's names next to the lead roles. They obviously have this in the bag. I couldn't help be jealous as the song drew to the end, Tessa was slightly out of breath milometers from Will, who's forehead was slightly shinning and his eyes held so much love, I couldn't help but look away they made it look so intimate. Until they had to carry on with the rest of the scene, therefore cutting off the moments barely before there lips met, Tessa had jumped on top of the gurney away from Will to finish the final note that echoed across the whole room.
"So - Where do we go?" Tessa turned to Will, who was looking up at her as she stood up on the gurney.
"Erm - out into the night! Out into the streets! We're rebels now! 'Cause baby, we were born to run!" Will punctuated every sentence by running to every side of the stage before settling to lift Tessa off of the gurney and spinning her around before gently planting her feet on the floor.
"Don't call me baby!" Tessa said as she pushed his hands from her waist.
"I'm sorry, it was just a phrase I heard in my head -" Will pleaded but was interrupted by Tessa killing glare.
"Yeah? Keep it there,"
I wondered what it felt like to be Tessa to be loved so unconditionally that when Will even looked in her direction his face was lightened up, it was as if Tessa was the sun and Will's world revolved around her... Cliché, I know but it was too true. Clairvoyant was full of so many talented students, most of the roles had been filled already, and most of them were fitted to the prediction I made.
We Will Rock You Cast:
Scaramouche - Theresa Gray
Galileo - William Owen Herondale
Pop - Mark Antony Blackthorn
Meat - Cecily Herondale
Brit - Bartholomew Velasquez
Killer Queen -
Khashoggi -
What can I say, I'm always the best judge. I smirked as I waltzed onto the stage, overhearing Will and Tessa's giggled conversation from back stage.
"Yeah Tess how come I can't call you Baby!" Will sounded like he was pouting.
"Oh shut it Will, Scaramouche won't let Galileo call her baby not me,"
"Oh so can I call you baby then," I stifled a laugh as I could picture Will waggling the classic Herondale eyebrow towards Tessa.
"Oh no, I didn't say you could either,"
And with that Tessa walked back down to the audience giving me a encouraging nod, while Will scrambled out of backstage off to take the seat to her left. I wonder how Alec and the boys football practise are are going?. I was with him as lunch as he bounded up to the team sheet scanning for his name.

He was over the moon, he had a grin fixed on his face as he was practically counting the seconds down to practice tonight. I can imagine him now running up and down the field now recieving a pass off of Jace before scoring it in the net. Anyway Iz focus on your audition. Me and Magnus were going to audition for Khashoggi and Killer Queen, I was going to do the 'Another one bites the dust' scene with help from Mags. I took a deep breathe glanced over at Magnus who winked encouragingly at me, and I spared one last look at the audience and Miss Grace looking at her clip-board before I took a deep breath and began the scene...
"You lost them" My voice rang around the quiet theater.
"Lost them only in the sense of -" Magnus lifted his arms up in an explanation, "We don't know where they are."
Thats when I stalked across the stage, feeling the queen's rage boil over and screeched, "You fool! You imbecile! You talent less, flat-fotted PC Plod! those two patheic losers are making idiots of us!"
Magnus flinched backwards as I stepped closer my hand was pointed at his chest much like Alexei's was pointed at Jace yesterday.
"They are individuals ma'am! The most dangerous enemy of us all! I'd rather face a massed army of nuclear-powered cyber-cops than one crazy kid with a dream."
You could tell the natural dynamics between me and him, as the scene went on and on, Magnus flinching and reacting to everything I said as I stormed closer and closer to him. We had the whole audience captivated the more I raised my voice while Magnus shrank further back. The scene was nearly over, I could feel my nerves bubble at the bottom of my stomach, I know this song is suited so much to me they might as well have wrote it for me.
Hey!
She walks warily down the street,
With her brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of her feet
Machine guns ready to go
I could already feel everyone's eyes on me as I belted out the first course pouring everything I had into it, I had to get this part, I needed this. This was how I was going to make my name at this school, I was going to blow them all way. There was no way I was going to waste all those years of singing lessons to grade 7 or musical theater groups or hours upon hours of watching Killer Queen be performed by multiple actresses. And there was no way I was letting Camille get this part.
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
By now I was swinging my hips, as I let the music wash over me I could already feel my awareness of everything slip away. It was just me, Magnus and the stage lights, all of the audience had faded away as I grabbed Magnus by his tie forcing him to floor, as I bent and sang the lyrics in his ear. The audience would still be able to hear due to the mics the stage crew had cooked up.
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, eh
Hey, I'm gonna get you to
Another one bites the dust.
And with that the song was over, my ears were assaulted by the roars of claps and I couldn't help but grin as I lifted my head up to address everyone. Camille looked positively pissed as she stormed out of the auditions not even waiting to do her performance, as Miss Grace spoke up silencing the crowd.
"Isabelle Sophia Lightwood and Magnus Bane as Killer Queen and Khashoggi?" Grace asked the for approval as she has done to every other main part. The crowded was dominated of cheers of yes and it made my heart feel like it was about to explode.
4:17pm
Magnus POV
Me and Izzy had smashed the audition but now in consequence for that I had that infernal tune stuck in my head and I was at it's mercy as I tapped the song on the steering wheel, taking the twists and turns away from the school, away from the center of New York, down the small country lanes I wasn't even sure if anyone lived down here. But me being assured by Iz that she did indeed live down these roads that have long seen the traffic of the city bustle. There was a massive towering wall to my left which was being claimed by the wild flowers and the ivy.
"Turn left in about 50 yards then, put 2342 into the code box thingy,"
I did as I was told turning into a colossal wire gate, the metal had been bended into flames with a massive L burning at the center, I quickly punched in the code and the gates swiped silently open, only hearing my tires on the gravel driveway as I gazed up at the mini castle that stood before me, little hedges around knee high boarded the perimeter, the house was curved outwards in some points, with intimidating turrets reaching up into the sky. I managed to clamber out the car behind Izzy who bounced up to the front door, bowing letting me go inside first. She entered after me before shouting down one of the corridors.
"YO ALEC? You back from training? We have a guest! Put the coffee pot on,"
"K Iz i'm in the kitchenn!" his voice rang from one of the corridors.
"Hey Mags, I'm just gonna go get changed and have a quick shower, make yourself comfortable, Alec can entertain you for a bit," and with that she disappeared up the staircase.
I took a hesitant step towards where Alec's voice had came from as I looked at the hallways walls which was littered with photos. At first the photos were of a young, smiling couple, the woman looked around 20 with blue shining eyes one of her hands was placed lovingly on the bump on her belly, her other hand was linked with a man no older than 25 who had dark indigo laughing eyes. I glanced down the hall looking more closely at the photos, they all happened to be like a mini time line, as I dragged me feet further down the carpet, I'd found myself stopping in front of a photo, it had looked like it had been taking professionally but at the same time had been relaxed. It held the same happy couple the father had an arm hanging loosely around the mothers shoulders, the mothers arm was snaked around his waist as she laughed at her children who were standing in front of them. From what I have guessed the jolly little boy of around 9 was Alec who had his chest pushed out pride shining in his eyes, which was probably from the proud hand his father had on his shoulder. Izzy was too busy leaning on Alec on her tip toes trying to see inside the bundle of white blankets, that were cradled in his arms. Izzy and Alec have a third sibling? but before I could I look at any other photos I heard someone clear their throat behind me. I turned sheepishly to meet Alec who had an eyebrow raised at me,
"How do you like your coffee?"
"Ermm... Urr.. Mocha extra chocolate sauce if you can?" I asked as I swiftly followed him down the maze of corridors, struggling to match his long-legged strides. Finally we reached the kitchen where Alec turned away and start rummaging though the cupboard whipping out multiple of the coffee ingredients, as I sat on a stool leaning on the kitchen island. Do I remind him about last weekend.. Or do I just act normal... He busied himself with making my drink, so I just busied myself with looking him up and down. Sue me! A man can window shop. He was wearing a a snug lyrca shirt that clung to his biceps, showing off his broad shoulders, it was obivous that he had just came back from training, it was just a shame that I couldn't see down any lower because of the stupid island. He must of felt my hungry gaze as his shoulders tensed up, I could already glimpse his skin turning crimson as he turned his hands were shaking as he carried the drinks laying them infront of me. I tried to meet those baby blues, but he just averted me as he hid behind his hair as he hastily picked up his mug in both hands - I think that is adorable - tipping his neck back as he quickly gulped it down, exposing that all too familiar neck. That's when my eyes widened when I realized there was a small love bite standing out against his porcelain skin, Shit! Did I do that? I didn't see that any day this week? I narrowed my eyes Maybe I didn't give it him... I felt jealousy hands give my heart a strange tug, I knew what my green eyed monster was thinking, I must of visibly looked offended as I gripped my mug with a white-knuckled grip.
"Can you stop staring please," If I hadn't been in the room I generally thought Alec was talking to the bottom of his mug, his blush still intact.
"Why should I?" I purred feeling my normal flirting mask take over.
"It's making me uncomfortable. Why are you even here?"
"Your dearest Isabelle invited me here, as to some gossip about your night-time activities, last weekend if you remember," I narrowed my eyes at the boy in front of me who seemed to managed to turn a deeper crimson colour, completely oblivious to the hostility that laced my voice.
"I-don't kn-know what you're on about," Alec stuttered as he jumped up grabbing the two empty cups to clear away.
"So you don't remember anything?" I asked gently, I guess it didn't mean that much then
4:44pm
Alec POV
"So you don't remember anything?"
Of course I remember it! Not like I could say that though, I couldn't stand the way Magnus looked at me, assessing every move, I was a terrible liar at direct confrontation. But it made me feel guilty when everything in Magnus seemed to dull as he said the question, his sparkly hair seemed deflated as he brushed a hand through it, mulling his words over. Maybe if I turned away and put the mugs in the dishwasher I could convince him better if I wasn't looking into his gem-like eyes, which held hope.
"All I remember is that, I was drinking with Jordan and I must of gotten drunk, hooked up with some random chick-" I hate this, I said tight-lipped"-Then ended up puking my guts up in the toilet where Jem found me and then Izzy rang the taxi."
I instantly regretted it the moment the lie left my tongue, as the reaction from Magnus was instant his eyes suddenly hardened as he cut straight through my lies, his eyes were narrowed almost as if he had cat eyes. I could already see his defenses shoot up in a towering, imposing walls Shit I should not have done that. I had heard rumors about the the boy you shouldn't get on the bad side of but I never thought they added up to the kind, funny Magnus which was in the friendship group.
"What's at the end of a rainbow?" What the hell? What sort of question was that? I eyed him suspiciously, but he just met my gaze with cold fury.
"A pot of gold?" I tried to lighten the mood, which was then snuffed out by Magnus's reply as he swiftly rose to his feet placing both of his hands on the kitchen on island.
"No Alexander, a pot of gold is not at the end of the fucking rainbow! That's all lies and bullshit!" He stated his tone held a sound of someone in control but his words held anger. "At the end of the rainbow is a W! a fucking W. The reason I told you that was because you need to stop telling yourself lies, because life doesn't give you a pot'o'gold! So get your head out your god damn ass and see whats in front of you, because if not you will always be chasing the non-existent pot of gold"
At some point in Magnus's lecture he had made it round the island and was now standing barely a breath away from me, his hand curling around my shirt looking at me with those dead eyes. I began to stuttered out an apology but my mouth was dry, I could feel a lump forming in my throat. Magnus cut me off though as he pulled on my shirt and smashed our lips together in a heated chaste kiss, I barely had time to react before he pulled away fury still lacing his eyes and spoke again.
"Because I wont wait around," He leaned back close to my face, his lips touching my ears as he whispered, "Call me."
He broke away and was scrawling his number on the back of my hand, before shoving his hands in his impossibly tight trousers and stormed out the kitchen. I just stood their in my daze wondering what the hell happened as my mind was in jumbles as I kept thinking between the number scripted on my hand or my swollen lips. Magnus had never raised his voice, not once he said it all in a deadly calm voice maybe I should be scared. I needed to have a nice cold shower hopefully I shake off this feeling with the water, although part of me didn't want to wash away the feeling of his lips...
4:42pm
Izzy POV
I had just finished my lovely shower, I always loved coming home, having a nice shower, followed by dressing in my dressing gown and rolling my hair up in a towel and having a good gossip. That was my plan anyway... But that was before I heard hushed voices coming from the kitchen as I was going to push it open I stopped, and ducked out to the side. I felt bad for spying but what could they be talking about, they barely spoke to each other at school. Gotta love having hawk like senses.
"What's at the end of a rainbow?" Magnus's voice sounded off slightly more detached than normal I thought, maybe it's because the wall is muffling it.
"A pot of gold?" Alec's tone seemed uneasy as if he was dealing with a ticking bomb.
"No Alexander, a pot of gold is not at the end of the fucking rainbow! That's all lies and bullshit!" I heard a stool topple over I'm assuming someone stood up.
"At the end of the rainbow is a W! a fucking W. The reason I told you that was because you need to stop telling yourself lies, because life doesn't give you a pot'o'gold! So get your head out your god damn ass and see whats in front of you, because if not you will always be chasing the non-existent pot of gold."
Even if Magnus is my friend, hell I could see us becoming the best-est of friends but no one talked to my brother like that. I was waging this internal battle in my head but was interrupted by the sounds of a tired Magnus.
"Because I wont wait around." Why would Magnus even wait for Alec? I quickly ran a few paces down the corridor once I heard the voices stop, a few seconds later Magnus stormed straight past me.
"Yo Mags I thought we were having a slumber party?" I called after him.
"Not now Isabelle." His tone was clipped as he reached the door turning to me, "Thank your brother for the coffee. I'll see you at school."
I could swear that I saw tears pouring down his face as turned though the door taking the steps down to drive 3 at a time. Jumping into the car and punching his steering wheel in frustration before throwing his hands up to his face, then returning them to the wheel as he saw me tap on the window as he floored it out of the driveway.
That's when I finally the jigsaw puzzle fell into place and I slumped on the steps. Alec was gay! How had I not seen that before? He is my brother for fuck sake. Part of me knew that my brother wasn't just a prude when it came to girls. It never came to girls. Magnus had given him the hickey! Come to think of it last time I saw Alec at the club was walking towards Magnus, I had thought nothing of it, even when a distraught Mags went home early and a sick Alec had to be sent home. There was a reason why Magnus had looked at Alec after Quincey's fight it was him checking if he was alright, Why was Alec avoiding Magnus or cutting the conversation as soon as it starts. Magnus digging for answers on Alec's sexuality in drama. Why is Alec afraid of Magnus? Or how come he has never said anything to me?
4:58pm
Alec POV
I wished I could stay under the pressure of the shower as it pelted cold bolts at my back refreshing my mind, and helping to get my sudden urge to cry at the hopelessness of my situation. Am I gay? Yes. Did I like Magnus? Yes. What was I going to do about it...? But what if Robert finds out again and takes Izzy away from me as well...
I finally shambled out the shower, only to find Izzy perched on the edge of my bed looking as if she was been crying. Had Magnus took it out on her? No he wouldn't do that. Maybe he told her I was gay?!
"Alec, look I know your gay." Izzy must of seen the look of betrayal on my face, "No, No, No Magnus didn't tell me a thing. I think I have known it for a while yanno? Like you can only go so far being a virgin at this age and never dates or hooks up with a girl. I think Mags just helped me open my eyes."
Where was the disgusted looks? Or the threatening? Or the consequences?
"It's not a bad thing, its not a thing. It's just you being you, I'm not going to treat you any different. Well actually I may now talk to your about boys and fashionnn!" She chuckled, "I'm joking about the fashion thing, but I'm just hurt you never told me? Everyone is chill with it -Well the ones that matter are chill if they don't then they have a long line of friends and me to deal with- We havee Raphael and Ragnor, ummmm Aline and Helen, Mark and Keiran? I think those two are together they are a bit on and off at the moment."
And just like that Izzy had slipped into gossip mode. I was a goner for at least 2 hours if I was lucky. I couldn't help my mind wander to Magnus's sweet lips...
1:20am
Magnus POV
The blank screen on my phone was mocking me. I scrunched my canary sheets in one hand as I wondered what would happen if I just got laid and moved on from my fixation with the blue-eyed angel-boy. Yeah that plan sounds fun...
I hope he calls I thought just as I closed my eyes, I don't think I moving on anytime soon.
My dreams were haunted by the lies of a closeted boy and the ghost of his lips.
