The place was pretty empty, most of the students at lessons or lunch. Alec walked passed the elevator not giving it a second look. He climbed the stairs, a small throbbing appearing in his leg. He approached his room, unlocking it. He pushed the door open it. Alec closed the door behind him. The room was empty, he walked over to the bed and flopped down on it, his face crashing into the pillow. Alec could feel the exhumation from the events of the day washing over him, he flipped over on his bed. He gripped his left wrist, his thumb tracing over the faded lines. Alec didn't bring it with him, deciding it was to risky. 63 days. Alec's heart was still rapidly beating in his chest, his palms sweating. It was times like this he missed it, it grounded him, allowed him to be in control. Alec pressed harder on his wrist, squeezing his eyes shut. Alec quickly shot up from his bed, moving over to his desk. He needed to keep busy, needed to do something. He opened his laptop; a picture of Izzy pulling a stupid face was Alec's background, he gave a little smile. She had set that picture as his background months ago, Alec didn't have the heart to change it. The door to the bedroom opened. Alec turned around and saw Jace walking in, throwing his back pack onto the bed and failing down next to it, a large sigh escaping his mouth. Alec was about to speak up when Jace sat up on the bed, jumping slightly at the sight of Alec./span/p

Alec smiled, Jace was clearly smitten with the girl, even if he protested that he didn't 'get smitten' it was odd, how open Jace was. Alec could never imagine being like that, just trusting someone with your thoughts and feelings. Alec was so caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't notice Jace had stopped talking. He looked towards Alec, then slightly passed him, pointing his finger toward the laptop. "That your girlfriend?"/span/p

He carefully put his hand into his pocket, pulling out the note. He started at it for a moment before laying it onto the table, using one hand to flatted the note. He looked at it. He pulled out his phone, going to his contact list. New contact. Alec's fingers quickly typed the name 'Magnus Bane'. His finger hovered over the 'confirm' button. He looked back down at the note. /span/p

The boy continued looking down at his desk, he sighed, clearly this boy was the stubborn type "Its fine Alexander just take them" He opened his bag and grabbed out his note book placing it in front of Alec, sliding it closer to him "You can give them back when your done?" Alec looked at the notes then back up at Magnus./span/p

Alec felt a odd feeling in his chest; jealously? Why would he be jealous? He pulled the notebook forward and opened the page. The writing was just like the one on the post-it-note. Alec paused. He carefully put his hand into his pocket, pulling out the note. He started at it for a moment before laying it onto the table, using one hand to flatted the note. He looked at it. He pulled out his phone, going to his contact list. New contact. Alec's fingers quickly typed the name 'Magnus Bane'. His finger hovered over the 'confirm' button. He looked back down at the note. /span/p
