Inspiration decided to struck me and I really like how this chapter turned out. It's longer than the other ones! So, for the last chapter I didn't get so many reviews, it wasn't really good, was it? So that was a little bit of a downer, but I thank the ones who reviewed, you guys are awesome! It seems you all hate Jace now, I do too. \(^-^)/ The reviews make me so happy!

School starts in two days, that sucks.

Chapter 6 "Wanting and Needing"

Alec woke to the shrill screaming of his sister to 'get his ass out of his bed and get ready for school'. Not a very pleasant waking, but nonetheless Alec was minutes later dressed and waiting in the floor for his siblings.

He sighed as he heard the fighting and he rubbed his temples. Today he really didn't have the nerve to deal with this. But he was surprised when the yelling suddenly stopped, well, Izzy was still shouting something as she passed her older brother, but Jace didn't say a word, he didn't even look at Alec.

That had never happened before. Dumbfounded Alec looked after his brother and bit his lower lip. This was not good, usually Jace always talked about which girl he wanted to shag or he was teasing Alec, but he didn't even look at him.

Slightly shaking his head he went after his siblings, he shouldn't worry so much, maybe Jace was just pissed because this one girl told him to get lost. Alec couldn't help smiling at the thought, he really liked this girl.

During the ride to school Isabelle wouldn't stop shutting up about this new boy, Meliorn, or something like that. Alec didn't really pay attention; he couldn't stop himself thinking of Magnus. The way he was behaving was somehow cute, the thought made Alec blush and he was glad no one sat in the passenger seat. Jem had made Magnus feel jealous; he would've never thought that someone like the colorful boy would react like that, when Alec's old friend had come back.

Today he would tell him that there was no reason for him to worry. But then again, why was he really jealous? Magnus was just his friend…wasn't he? Maybe he wanted to take things further, Alec didn't know if he wanted. Yes, he thought Magnus was cute, yes, he thought he was handsome, but…

But what? A part of Alec wanted to be more than a friend to him, wanted to be near him, to touch him, kiss him, feel those ha-wow, he should probably stop to think about that. Besides, there was that other part, which just wanted a friend. But this part was also the shy part, the one which always worried.

Alec was brought back to reality when he saw St. Nephilims appear in front of him. He parked the car and got out of it with a sigh, his siblings followed and they entered the large building. First lesson Biology, Alec thought and saw his sister and brother split up, the perfect opportunity to set everything right with Magnus.

People were streaming into the room where the lesson would take place in and chattering filled up the room. The black haired teen looked around the room and saw Magnus at the back sitting next to a blond girl. Camille, Alec remembered, she looks like a model. When his colorful friend saw him he quickly looked away and pretended to not notice him.

Alec decided to take a seat at the desk next to him, despite his behavior. The girl next to him seemed a little bit annoyed, but more curious to what was happening between the two boys. Alec looked at Magnus and brushed a hair strand out of his face.

"Good morning," he said and smiled. Magnus' presence made him feel more at ease and Alec could see that his jealous friend was eyeing him suspiciously.

"Morning," he mumbled, but a small smile spread across his face. Magnus still wouldn't look at him fully, but it was a step into the right direction.

"Why did you just leave after lunch?" Alec asked bluntly and saw Magnus doodling something on his desk. I wonder what he's drawing.

Finally he looked up and Alec swore he saw regret in his green-yellow eyes. Magnus was obviously a little bit tense and he seemed to think very hard about his answer.

"I…I really don't know," came the brilliant answer and Alec escaped a light laugh. The taller boy had the decency to look ashamed and maybe even turned a little bit red, Alec couldn't tell.

"Well, you know, I think I know the answer and I promise you that I have no interest in Jem." He had always been straight-forward and he waited for Magnus' answer. The other teen seemed to sigh in relief and smiled brightly.

"Gosh, I'm so glad you aren't taken already. I'm so lucky," at that Alec fell back into his shy, innocent behavior and blushed. Had Magnus really said that? Alec felt downright embarrassed as Camille laughed and made a heart with her index-fingers and thumbs. What if someone would see them?

"I-ahm," he was saved from this awkward conversation as Mr. Garroway entered the room and told everyone to be silent. He had never been so thankful for a boring lesson.

Alec slammed his book shut as the lesson had ended. Biology next to Magnus had been quite…entertaining. The constant winks he had gotten had made him blush countless times. He stood up and saw Camille leaving Magnus' side to chat with a pretty brown haired girl.

He had English next, Alec always had liked this subject more than others, people called him crazy for that, but this year he had gotten the worst teacher ever, even worse than Valentine. Mr. Aldertree was known for his boring lessons and his…weird habits. Alec shuddered at the memory of the day before. Next lesson would be pure torture.

"So," Alec jumped at the voice behind him, that happened a lot these days, "what are you planning on doing at the weekend?" Magnus asked innocently, too innocently for Alec's liking.

"Why are you asking?" he answered with a question as he made his way out of the room, Magnus hot on his heels.

"Just wondering, okay, not really. I wanted to ask you if you'd want to study with me." Alec turned around, confusion written on his face.

"But the year just started, why would you want to study?" He heard Magnus chuckle and clear his throat.

"You're too sweet for your own good. Alec, I want to study," he pronounced the last word extra hard and wiggled his eyebrows. But Alec still didn't get it and looked at him weirdly. Magnus sighed theatrically and put a hand on the smaller teen. At the feeling of the hand Alec tensed slightly and felt himself redden.

"Alec, study. You really don't get it, do you? That's unbelievingly cute," the tall teen said and grinned, he looked at his golden watch and sighed disappointed.

"It seems like next lesson starts soon, I'll text you." Alec looked after him as he walked away with the slight swinging of his hips.

Biting his lower lip he thought of what Magnus could've meant. How could not knowing what he said make him cute? Again he felt his cheeks warm up and a tip on his shoulder made him jump. An amused smile of Sebastian made him slightly angry, but his friend meant him no harm.

"Spacing out again? We have to hurry, English starts in a minute or so," the Verlac said and started to sprint, Alec soon followed him and they arrived at the room just seconds for the beginning of the lesson.

No sign of Magnus in the cafeteria, so Alec decided to sit with Jem and Sebastian. But Jem wasn't really listening, which was quite odd, as he was always looking at Will who sat at the special table. Why wouldn't they just sit together, when it was obvious that they were only paying attention to each other?

Oh, Alec forgot, only popular students are allowed at the table and if a person from said table moves to one which belongs to the rag tag he would never be seen again and mocked by the stupid beautiful and handsome people. That would be Will's death, but it would be also his death if they would find out that…maybe he was gay too? He obviously liked Jem and vice-versa, Alec guessed he wasn't the only one with such problems…maybe they had more in common then looking like twins.

But also Alec was slightly distracted from Sebastian's constant wish-wash. Jace was giving him strange looks and Izzy just seemed confused. He sighed and wanted to bang his head on the table. He shouldn't have overreacted when Jace told him about Magnus. Now everything would be so complicated.

All of a sudden Sebastian looked a little bit freaked out and Alec saw that Camille sat at their table. Jem didn't seem to notice, Will was very distracting apparently. What does she want?

"Magnus has a dentist assignment, that's why he's not here, so don't worry," she said casually like it didn't really matter and Alec was stunned for a moment.

"Thanks for telling me," he mumbled a bit awkwardly and ran his fingers through his already messy hair. He didn't know why she had decided to sit with them; he just hoped Sebastian wouldn't try to hit on her.

"It seems like he really likes you, you know? He won't shut up about you, that's kind of cute," Camille pointed out and looked at him with a glint in her eyes. For the hundredth time this day Alec's cheeks reddened and he looked at his hands, not knowing what to say.

The blonde snapped her fingers to make him look at her.

"Alec, I don't know why Magnus has chosen to like you, I never understood him at some point, but I care about him. Please don't hurt him, that's all I have to say," and with that she stood up and walked away.

The stunned black-haired boy wanted to tell her that he didn't even know if he really liked Magnus like that, but she was already gone. What a weird day. Sebastian looked at him speechless, he opened his mouth a few times, but no words came out.

"Dude, what was all that about?" he managed to ask him. Jem seemed to finally notice what was going on and looked at them confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Why did Camille, the blond supermodel, speak with you? And what was that about Magnus?" Sebastian said, completely ignoring the silver eyed boy next to him.

"I…I really don't know for sure," Alec said and stood up, needing to sort out his thoughts alone.

It was good to know that Magnus really couldn't talk to him, he had been a bit disappointed, but did Camille really have to talk to him? She cared for Magnus, she had made that clear, but what had that been all about? It was not like they were dating! Magnus had said that he wanted to talk to him, so maybe Alec just had to wait.

At around 8 p.m. Alec's phone suddenly vibrated.

Hey gorgeous, watcha doin'?

Nothing, I'm extremely bored. My brother won't talk to me

Alec realized his mistake about telling Magnus about his problem with his brother, but it was already too late.

Why? O.o

It's nothing, he's just pissed

At you?

Seems so, but could we please change the subject?

K. Cause I really need to ask you something

And that would be?

Now Alec was really excited. What could Magnus want from him?

Would you like to do something with me? At the weekend?

Had Magnus just asked him to hang out with him? The thought made him a little bit nervous.

What would you like to do?

I don't know, you don't really seem like the go-to-a-party type.

No, not really

We could go to Taki's. What do you think?

You mean like…a date?

He was really an idiot; Alec hoped Magnus wouldn't take it the wrong way.

If you'd like. Sure. :)

A date? Did he want to go on a date…with Magnus? It was his own fault though; he brought up the date thing. Alec didn't want to hurt Magnus and Camille wouldn't want it either.

Friday would be okay.

Perfect! Can't wait ;)

I'll see you tomorrow

The conversation ended and Alec shut his phone. He had a date. With Magnus. At Taki's. Oh God. He knew Magnus for three days and they already planned to have a date. Alec was still in the closet! What had he thought? He couldn't go, someone could see them, what if his siblings found out that he was gay, what if Jace found out?!

Alec took a deep breath, he shouldn't freak himself out. Everything would be fine; he worried too much, like always. He should just sleep over it.

...why do I always end the chapters with Alec sleeping? Weird. Also, to all the guys who have favorited and are following the story, but haven't reviewed: I really appreciate it, but a review would be even better. Just wanted to remind you, but I still love you!

At first I wanted to make Camille a bitch, I really don't like her, but she kinda turned out like this...I don't know if I like it. Also, the girl she talked to after the Biology lesson? That was Tessa. Will sort of has the same problem as Alec, but it's kinda even worse, 'cause he's really popular. I feel for him.

Review? Would make me sooo happy!~
