I started wearing makeup because of the bruises I couldn't hide with my clothes. After my mother committed suicide my step father became abusive. He drank a lot and when he was drunk he came home and took his anger and stress out on me. So one day went out and got some foundation. It hid the bruises and my black eyes but it felt like something was missing so I got more and more. Chap sticks, lips sticks, mascara everything and anything. I was wearing more and more makeup and when I got to high school I had perfected what looked good on me and I looked better than most of the girls there.
Slowly I started to catch the attention. Of guys in school and I realized that I was attracted to guys as well as girls. My step father went to rehab in the start of sophomore year. I threw parties once a week. Every weekend my house was filled with drunken teenagers and that earned me a spot at the popular table. But as a guy who had to pretend he was okay half my life I couldn't fit with them. So I got my own group of friends. Cat, a exceedingly smart girl, ragnor, a guy who had his nose in a book for most of the school day, Raphael, who did everything to speak as little as he could, Simon who couldn't stop talking about movies or comic books and me became sort of like a clique. It was the perfect group for me. Some of the people who tried to befriend me didn't like my friends but since I threw the best parties and had the latest fashion items and really good eye for things I managed to stay on their good side.
In the middle of junior year two families came into the school. The Fairchild family and the lightwoods. Fairchilds and the lightwoods was a very close knit bunch. Jace Fairchild, clary Fairchild, izzy lightwood and Alec lightwood easily became the talk of the town and as a humble host I threw them a party. I hadn't seen any of them till the party on Saturday night. I was putting out more drinks when I heard that my guests of honor where finally here so I went to greet them. On the door of the kitchen I found Simon leaning on the frame with a blond playing with his hair and whispering softly to him. I realized the blond was Jace lightwood and that with the blush coloring Simon's cheek that he was into him so I didn't want to interrupt them and headed to the living room. I looked around and saw two new faces. One was a flaming red head with freckles and the second was a tall raven head who was wearing a shirt I absolutely adored.
"You must be Isabel and Clarissa. Thank you for coming" I said they turned to me and smiled
"Magnus right?" the red head asked
"The one and only" I replied with a grin
"Wow I love you jacket" izzy said and my smile got bigger
"Thank you darling I love your shirt" I replied to the leather crop top she was wearing she smiled back
"I already like you. I have a feeling we are going to be great friends" she said
"I'd love that. Can I ask you a question?" I asked
"Sure" they replied in sync
"I heard there were two lightwoods and two fairchilds. Blondie over there is Cleary Jace Fairchild. You are clary" I gestured to the blond still on the kitchen door with Simon then to clary "you are Isabel. Where is your brother Alexander lightwood?" I asked
"He is here somewhere. He doesn't like parties. You'll probably find him in an empty room or something" clary said.
"Okay then enjoy the party. I have to go around and check that my furniture is still in place" I said they nodded and walked to the kitchen to get drinks. I talked to people and broke up an almost fight in the next hour but my head was hurting so I headed up stairs.
Almost all of the rooms upstairs were occupied so I headed to mine. I always locked my room because I didn't want people having sex in my bed. I was surprised to find the room opened and cautiously I opened the door to see some ones back. From the mood light coming from the window I could see he was tall. Maybe even taller than me. He was raven and looked like he had a really good built.
"Who are you?" I asked. He turned around and I lost my breath. I didn't know if it was the alcohol running through my system of if I was hallucinating but he was the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my life.
"I-i-..." he started but stopped his eyes trailing down my body. I was wearing a dark green gold jacket with no short and was in my underwear. His piercing blue eyes darkened as he took my half naked form.
"Not that I'm complaining but what are you doing in my room? I could swear I locked it" I said my voice unconsciously taking a deeper note.
"y-you did....a-all the o-other rooms w-was ....o-occupied...so I....pickedthelock" he rushed out
"You did what?" I asked not catching the last part.
"I p-picked t-the lock" he said in a small voice. He looked down embarrassed. He was probably worried that I would throw him out.
"Impressive" I said and he look up surprised.
"What your name gorgeous?" I asked and I could see his fair complexion being adored with a bright blush. I was taking a shot in the dark and it was less likely for him to be into guys but he was my dream guy. He was a raven with beautiful blue eyes. Taller than me which was very rare and was a shy stuttering mess. Jackpot.
"A-Alexander l-lightwood. B-but m-most people c-call me a-alec" he replied blushing brighter
"Well Alexander I'm Magnus bane" I replied walking closer to him after closing the door and locking it behind me. He looked up at me with his dilated blue eyes and bit his lower lip. It was going to be a fun night.
