Chapter-3

Alec's POV

      Magnus, Izzy, and I started walking towards Jace and Simon, who were waiting for us in the schoolyard. "Good morning guys, where have you been?" Jace greeted us.

     "Good morning, I spent the night at Alexander's and we lingered a bit while we had breakfast." said Magnus.

       Izzy said good bye to us and started walking to the building where her class was. My, Simon, Jace and Magnus' first class was biology and we all started walking to the biology lab for class. Biology is my favorite subject. Learning new topics makes me very happy.

       We all entered the classroom and took our seats. Mr Wayland told us to form a group of two. Magnus quickly moved his chair closer to me and winked at me. 'Oh my god I can't breathe' I immediately lowered my head and tried to control my breathing.

      A few minutes later, Mr. Wayland handed us all the topics we needed to study and asked us to prepare a presentation within the next week.

      My and Magnus' presentation was something about the classification of plants. After we had our subjects, Mr. Wayland continued his lecture. The rest of the lessons went more or less like this. 

      When the bell rang for the lunch break, I went to the lockers without going to the art class. I saw Jace and Clary "Hey, what are you doing?" Clary smiled at me, "Hey, we're going to the cafeteria to eat, do you want to join us?" I looked at my watch and saw that there were still forty-five minutes left until the end of the lunch break.

     Today, Magnus was almost starting to suspect something. I thought, 'I can't risk anything again'. "I have paintings to do, I'll eat something in art class." Jace opened his mouth to start protesting, but I acted before he did and started speaking, "My class is PE after lunch, I got permission from the principal and I'll be in the arts class in that time too."

       Clary looked at her phone, "Can Izzy stay with us tonight? We've decided to have a sleepover with the girls." I raised an eyebrow and replied, "Well, whatever you want. As long as you don't do anything illegal." Clary chuckled, "I can't promise that." I rolled my eyes and started walking away from them "See you later guys" I shouted as I walked away.

      I started walking towards the art class and thought, 'Great, I'm going to be alone again today.'
  
       It's Friday, so mom's busiest day, she comes home for a short while, while we're at school to take a shower and sleep. But she has to go to the hospital again at night.  My father, on the other hand, acts like himself again and disappears.

       I entered the art class and I was relieved to see the empty class. I immediately went to my locker and took out the paints and brushes I needed. I grabbed my old oversized paint-stained T-shirt from the locker that I was wearing while painting.

      When I was sure no one was around, I unbuttoned my blue plaid shirt and took it off, put it aside, I put on my old shirt and waited in front of my painting.

       I put on my headphones and opened a nice playlist to listen on the phone. The first song played was Paint it Black by The Rolling Stons. I thought, 'I love this song so much' and started to paint along with the song.

       I don't know how long I stayed in art class. I jumped when someone tapped my shoulder and let out a loud scream. "Hey hey, it's me calm down."

      I covered my face with my hands and started breathing deeply, "Magnus, what the hell are you doing here? You scared me."

     Magnus started to laugh, clutching his stomach. "Man, I've texted you almost 20 times." Magnus started to tear up from laughter. "I couldn't find you, I was going to ask if you'd like to start the biology presentation later at school. Then I saw Izzy and Clary and they said you're here. It's been half an hour since school's empty. Didn't you hear the bell?"

     I looked at my phone, "Oh my god, why didn't you go, you had to wait at school because of me." Magnus looked at me, and his earlier laughter began to fade. "Actually I wanted to talk to you, I was hoping maybe we could go to you."

        I looked first at Magnus, then at my painted hands. "Of course we can go. Are you okay? What happened?" Magnus came up to me and started helping me clear things up. "I'm fine, I just wanted to talk." I nooded, and when things had cleared up enough I went to wash my hands. When all the paint was gone from my hands, I went back to Magnus. "Are you ready? Shall we go?" I looked at my shirt and hung my head, I could feel my face getting hot "Yeah, I'm ready but uh... Can you umm...?"

      Magnus started looking at me with puzzled eyes, "What?!" I threw my head back and took a deep breath 'oh my god this is so embarrassing' "Can you turn your back until I change?"

      "You're kidding right?!" I raised my eyebrows and looked at Magnus, who turned away, muttering something under his breath.

      "You know what? We've been friends for over three and a half years." Confused, I began to listen to Magnus, "I sleepover at your house, you sleep over at my house. I spent almost all the holidays at your house. I've had too many showers to count in the bathroom in your room, and you've been in my shower too."

      I frowned, "So? Where are you trying to get to?" Magnus let out a small smile, "I mean you've seen me shirtless a hundred times, why haven't I seen you yet?" I suddenly felt my face turn red. What did Magnus mean by wanting to see me shirtless?

      I closed the last buttons of my shirt and approached Magnus. "What do you mean? I don't get it." Magnus gave me a mocking smile, "I mean when will I be able to see this sexy Lightwood body?" 'OH MY GOD!!!'

       Now I'm gonna scream "Shut up!" I grabbed my bag and grabbed Magnus's arm and dragged him out of the classroom. We went to the parking lot together. We got in the car and I started driving towards my house. The ride was rather quiet and after about fifteen minutes we were at the door of the house.
