GUYS IM SO SORRY! I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN LIKE 2O MILLION YEARS. I'VE BEEN SO BUSY AND LIFE HAS BEEN CRAPPY, SO I'M REALLY SORRY. AND I KNOW I SAID THAT I WOULD UPDATE ON SATURDAY, BUT I'VE BEEN QUITE A BUSY BEE! Anyway, on to chapter 4!
MAX POV
I got to the bus stop, and found Kylie standing in a white dress with her sketch book in hand. She looked over my way, smiled, and waved at me. I did the same, and walked a little faster.
"Hey Maxwell," She said with a bright smile on her face. And this is the part where I get nervous, and choke.
"Hey Ky-" My voice has failed me (aka voice crack). I felt my face getting warmer by the second. At times like this, I hate being so much like Alec. I coughed and looked up. I heard her laughing, and so I started laughing too because, I swear, her laugh is contagious. Once we finish laughing, I try again, "Hey Kylie."
"How's your morning so far?" She asks.
"It's nice. How about you?" I reply. We always do this. Start out will small talk and then five minutes later, we can't stop talking, like we haven't seen each other in years.
"It's okay, I guess. I'm hoping my day will get better," Her response was kind of sad. Before I could do or say anything, the bus arrived.
After we sat down, I pulled her into my shoulder and said, "What happened Ky-bear?"
She looked like she was trying to choose between telling me what happened or telling me that it was nothing. Kylie sighed and told me that her parents were supposed to come back home this weekend, but they have to stay another week. Oh and by the way her parents are lawyers, like mine.
"I'm sorry, but I promise, I'll make your day better, soon." She nodded and smiled, I smiled back, and she "snuggled" (sorry I didn't know what word to put there) back into my shoulder.
TIME SKIP!
Finally, I was walking to lunch and found Kylie already sitting at our table. With her is Liv and Ty Blackthorn, our favorite twins. I sat down and said hi to everyone. They were all having a nice conversation until something was brought up that started an argument between the twins. "Can I talk to you in the hall?" I mouthed to Kylie. She nodded and we both got up to walk to the hall.
"What's up?" She asked looking up at me. We were a good 7 feet apart, so I decided to take a step forward. I guess she noticed the space also because we bumped heads. We chuckled and then locked eyes. I started to move my face closer to her and soon our lips connected.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" I whispered. She smiled and nodded. My smile was so big, I thought I was going to rip my lip. (Haha that rhymed...sorry, okay) I gave her a big hug and we walked back into the lunch room, hand in hand. When we sat down together, that's when the twins noticed that we were gone.
"Oh hey, where did you guys go?" Ty asked.
"Nowhere special, just to talk," Kylie said putting our tangled hands onto the table. I quickly covered my ears because Liv is exactly like Izzy. I faintly heard her shriek and told Kylie to tell her everything later. I put my hand back into Kylie's and sighed. She leaned her head on my shoulder and we all just went back to our normal lunch conversations.
"Oh I forgot, Alec is making dinner tonight and said you could come over if you wanted. I mean, he said ask your mom first, but you know, that's normal," I told her.
"Yeah, I'll ask my mom on the bus. I'm sure she'll say yes though, she loves you," She winked at that last part.
I chucked and said, "Now your mom has two Lightwoods with her daughters."
"Yes, but Jace is the only one she has to worry about," She said with a giggle.
I nodded and laughed, "Yes, that is very true." Sooner than I wanted, lunch was over so we had to walk our separate ways, yet again. I hugged Kylie and gave her a little kiss on her head, then Ty and I walked to math, while Liv and Kylie walked to science.
"Bro! You finally did it! You asked her," Ty exclaimed. I laughed.
"Yeah I did, and I may or may not have had my first kiss too..." I trailed off. Ty stopped in his tracks. And gave me a look that said ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!, so I nodded. "She's perfect Ty. I know we're only in the eighth grade, but I know she's the one for me."
"Dude, you're crazy," Ty said, shaking his head, and started walking again.
ALEC POV
Today at lunch I sat with Magnus and his friends, Catarina Loss, Ragnor Fell, and Camille Belcourt. Catarina and Ragnor are cool, but Camille gives me a bad feeling.
Magnus nudged me and said, "Hey what are you thinking about?"
"What? Nothing." I said, probably a little too fast. He looked at me as if I were dumb. "Really. It's nothing, just thinking," I explained. He just nodded and smiled the same smile that kills me every time. I smiled back and got up to throw away my trash. I still don't know what to cook tonight, so I asked Magnus what his favorite dish was.
"Okay I know this might sound lame, but it's spaghetti with tiny meatballs," He responded with a little chuckle. I laughed a little too.
"Good, because I was wanting spaghetti. This gives me an excuse to make it!" I said with a smile.
"Oh, do you mind if I bring my stuff to do homework to your house?" He asked.
"No. Not at all. In fact we can do our homework together in my room," I told him.
"Awesome, Thanks, Ally." I wanted to groan, but with him…Ally didn't sound like such a bad nickname.
"Look, I usually don't let anyone call me that. So don't tell Izzy that I'm cool with you saying it. Okay?" I gave him a stern look. He nodded with a smile creeping onto his face.
"So you're telling me I'm the ONLY one who can call you that?" He asked with a smirk on his face.
"Yes, but don't wear it out," I said with a monotone voice. He chuckled and gave me a side hug. And of course my face gets red. Curse my ability to blush.
"Awe. You guys are already perfect together," Caterina said.
"W-we n-no! I-it it is-" I stuttered out.
"What Alec means to say is that we're not together….yet," Magnus finished for me and winked. I just playfully punched him. Before I knew it, lunch was over. I used to dread lunch, now I wish it never ended. I loved spending time with Magnus, even if it's only for 30 minutes.
"So, should I just go straight to your house or…?" He trailed off.
"Yeah that's fine. I won't start cooking until around 5," I said. He nodded, kissed my forehead, and left. I stood there in shock. Magnus Bane, THE Magnus Bane, just kissed me. My shock was interrupted by Camille.
"I'm letting you know now, I will win Magnus back. He'll love me and not a little in-the-closet shithead like you," She said with a menacing tone. I decided to just walk away, and go to class. I hope I looked as calm as I felt because inside…I'm freaking out. I finally get a chance with Magnus, and Camille decides she wants him back. I sigh and fall into my seat.
"Hey, Alec. You okay?" Lewis asked.
"Yeah, Simon. Just peachy," I said with more sarcasm than Jace ever has. Simon just put his hands up in surrender. "Sorry Dude. It's just, right now isn't a good time." He nodded and our teacher started talking. Tonight better be good.
MAX POV
School has just ended. THANK GOD. I thought it would never end. Kylie and I walk to our bus with our hands intertwined. When we got to our seat Kylie speaks up. "Hey Max?"
"Yeah? What's up?" I asked concerned.
Quietly she asks, "How long have you liked me?".
"Since, I knew what 'like' meant." She just nodded. I pushed her head up gently, so she would look at me. "What's the matter Kylie?" She's usually never like this, and it worries me.
"Nothing. It doesn't matter," She said, shaking her head.
"Ky….I know there's something. Come on, tell me what's up," I said pulling her closer to me.
She started to develop tears in her eyes, "Why me, Maxwell? Me out of all people! There's Liv who is gorgeous, and a ton of other girls at school…so why me?"
"Why you? Because every time I even remotely think about another girl in that way, I feel my heart break a little. Because every time I think of perfect, I think of you. Every time I see you, I smile. Every time I'm having a bad day, the first thing that makes me happy is you. It has always been you, Kylie Fairchild. Always. Since day one, you're the one I think about most," I explain to her. She wraps her arms around me in a tight embrace and I never want to let go. "Because I am in love with you," I whisper into her neck.
She smiles and sniffles, "I love you too, Max. Always." We hold each other all the way home.
