This was written on an ipod too. xD
"So which one?" asked Katherine.
Cassandra laid on the bed, tossing her stele in the air. The parabatai's were in Katherine's room, clothes covered the floor. "I told you the black one." She replied getting up to sit on the bed. "What's the occasion anyways?"
"Im going on a date. Well...the guy doesn't know, but still." The biggest smile appeared on Katherine's face. An expression Cassandra loved seeing on her parabatai. Katherine held a sleek black dress in front of her as she looked at herself in the mirror. "….And are you sure the black? Maybe color would spice things up more." Before Cassandra could input her opinion, Katherine spoke again, "Yeah, the colored one is better."
Cassandra got up, placing her stele back on her belt as she walked towards the door. "I can never understand why you bother to even ask me when you never take my advice..." She jokingly mocked herself.
"I do! But most of your choices are the color black. And we always wear that color. It gets boring after a while." Katherine tried explaining, but even she knew she barely took Cassandra's advice when it came to fashion.
Cassandra shrugged as she stood by the doorframe of Katherine's room. "Anything else you need my advice on?" Her arms crossed as she leaned against the door frame.
Katherine walked over to Cassandra placing her hands together. "Actually...can you come with me?"
"What?" Cassandra straightened her stance. "Why?" Katherine had rarely asked her to play wing woman for a date, which only meant this guy must've really left an impression on her.
"Just in case something goes wrong. Actually that's what I really need you for.." The brunette chuckled, batting her eyelashes.
Cassandra sighed, rolling her eyes, "Fine."
Katherine embraced her into a big hug. "Thank you." She then pushed Cassandra out towards the door. "Go change and I'll meet you up front."
"But-" And bam!, the door shut closed. Cassandra didn't even want to bother to change, and so she wouldn't. She was quite comfortable and proud to wear her shadowhunter gear. So she headed to the big front doors of the institute to wait for her parabatai.
...
The institute was based in San Francisco and accommodated to seven shadowhunters: Cassandra (just turned 17), Katherine (16), Ian (17), Alex (17), Jamie (16), Zane (19) and Mrs. Youngblood (head of the San Francisco institute and mother of Kat, Ian and Zane). However, there were currently only four that were present. Mrs. Youngblood had left with Jamie to Idris. Jamie had always been the troublemaker of the San Francisco institute, which meant Mrs. Youngblood always had to meet with the Aclave to decide some sort of punishment for him. Zane had been in Idris as well since he turned the legal age, he went to study abroad about other institutes, particularly the New York and Los Angeles ones. This left Ian in charge for the time being, which meant the remaining four were allowed to do pretty much anything. It wasn't like they did much besides go hunting or go to Chow's, one of the popular hangouts for shadowhunters and downworlders in SF.
...
Meanwhile, at Chow's, the boys sat at their regular table as Ian seemed to scan around, and not for girls as usual, for someone in particular. Alex noticed, "Alright, who's the girl?"
Ian faced Alex, "What? What girl?"
"Come on. You're obviously looking for someone." Alex arched a brow as he took a sip of his drink.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Ian lied.
"Alright. Whatever, as long as she isn't for me. I hate when you set me up on blind dates. I can get them on my own, you know." Alex leaned back on the chair, hanging his arm off as he watched the downworlders roaming around.
"Yeah, I know you can. But I mean, come on, you haven't had a girlfriend or a date in a while. I'm getting scared you might be coming out of the closet soon." Ian joked.
"Well if that happened, you'd be the first to know." Alex winked at Ian jokingly.
Ian wasn't amused as he stood up. "I'll be back. I need to make a call." He walked off towards the restrooms area.
...
Back at the institute, Cassandra had been sitting on the steps in front of the door, watching as mundanes passed by unable to see her or the institute. Suddenly, she felt a vibration in her pocket. She pulled out her phone to see she had received a new text message. It was from Katherine: 'I'll meet you at Chow's. Small problem, but I can handle. Keep an eye out for the hot brunette. ;)'
Cassandra chuckled. "Typical Kat, sending the wing-woman first." She got up and headed to Chow's.
...
Ian returned, standing beside the edge of the table. "There's something I have to do." he said looking over at Alex.
"Need me to come with you?"
"No, I'll be quick. Stay here." And then Ian left leaving Alex a bit confused.
Alex quickly shrugged it off as he ordered another drink.
About 15 minutes went by since Ian left, Alex eventually found himself at the bar. Almost every other minute some girl came up to him, but he ignored them. He wasn't interested lately. That was when he spotted a familiar face from across the bar. He smirked watching as the long haired warrior turn down a vampire. Alex got up from his seat and walked over to the familiar. "Can I buy you a drink, sweet cakes?"
Cassandra let out a breath of air as she turned to verify the face matched the voice. "By the angel…Should've known you'd be here too."
Alex took a seat next to her. "I'm surprised you're even out. I thought you'd be training as usual...or sleeping."
A fake smile came across Cassandra's face, "For your information...I do go out. It's just not always at Chow's."
"Oh really, sweet cakes? Going out with Katherine doesn't count or anyone else from the institute for that matter, unless it's with me of course." Alex winked.
Cassandra rolled her eyes, "Please...isn't there some other girl you can entertain?"
"Hey you should feel honored."
"Sure, of course I do. Whatever happened to that quiet boy who was shy around girls?" Her arms rested on top of the bar table, as she leaned towards him, a questioning look on her face.
"He grew up into this definition of hot."
Cassandra couldn't help but burst out laughing, "O-Kayyy."
There was a small moment of silence before either one spoke again. "Do you not like me?" Alex asked, as big headed as he would usually sound, his voice was a bit unsteady this time, she noticed. She turned to look at him. Both of their eyes locking on to one another. Alex's eyes showed a small side of desperation. Cassandra opened her mouth about to answer...or not, when she was interrupted.
"Geez man, why didn't you stay at the table?" It was Ian. "And hey Cass, perfect timing, there's um...some weapons I'd like to learn to use more. Can you help me?"
"Sure?" she replied as Alex stared at Ian very confused. "Oh...but Kat actually-"
"Im here!" Katherine said appearing behind Ian. "Oh Cass, I don't need you to do that thing anymore, I'll be fine." She smiled.
"Um Okay?" Cassandra was confused as ever as Ian tugged at her arm.
"Lets get going." Ian said "See you guys later." He said dragging away her away.
And that's when she realized what was really going on. She glanced back at the bar table where she saw Alex and Katherine, Katherine smiling like crazy. And for a second Alex was glancing back at her but then turned his attention to her parabatai. She looked away too, not being able to stand the sight anymore.
Blehhh, I know sucky. xD Feedback, please.
