Alec's pov
what is your weight? Is the first question on the application but like what does that have to do with anything? I guess if your not judging by gender it's weight. Do I really want to do this? If I don't I'll wonder what if and the chances of me getting picked are slim so might as well give it a shot.

But like seriously is not going to ask for my name first just weight? That's a little odd... Whatever stop thinking about it alec and just fill it out.

(A/N) questions, Alec's answers

well that was interesting... by that I mean very fucking dry. after completing it I put it in an envelope and set out to the post office.

"Hey mom! Dad! I'm heading out!" I yell half way out the door. "Where?!" My mom questions then as if I've been hit by a truck I realize I haven't come out to them let alone that I'm applying to the selection. you're a fucking idiot alec! HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT NOT COMING OUT TO MY PARENTS?

"umm to a friends house to drop something off." I lie, seeing as I sure as hell am not telling them now, seems a little sudden. I slam the door quickly in panic. Jesus Christ i can't believe-

"Hey Alec where are you going?" I hear Steve Underhill call out to me. Ughh this bitch, the amount of times I've heard him say homophobic things... he's the last person I want to see right now.

"Ah- to the post office." I say shakily, god damn now he knows I'm hiding something. "Really me too!" He replies, oh fuck me in the ass!

"Wanna walk together?" He asks, "sure." I say just standing there, "well come on." He laughs waving me to hurry up. Could this get any worse?

"applying to the selection?" Steve asks out of nowhere, I stand there shocked. Snap out of it alec or else.. "umm.." I try to form a sentence but nothing seems to be coming out. HAHHHWA COMING OUT. and I really laughed out loud at that.

"Was the question funny?" Steve asks offended? Which is odd... WAIT! THE FUCK!OH! MY! GOD!

"wait! Are you!?" I ask shocked, so much is happening in my mind right now, I can't even- this is too much...

"yes, do you have a problem?" he asks me with more aggression than necessary. "No I just had no idea.." I explain trying my best not to look like an ass, but end up not being able to come up with anything.

"Jesus I'm not trying to come off that way I'm just surprised." I manage to spit out, he looks less angry more along the lines of confused.

"Then why did you laugh?" Steve was questions, god this is embarrassing if I tell him I'm coming out to him not only that, but also the fact I laughed at my own joke.IN MY HEAD! But if I don't say anything I look bad... shit.

"Umm I made a joke in my head , then laughed out loud. It honestly had nothing to do with what you said." It kind of did but that's not the point. He just gave me a confused look.

"Well okay then..." he says dryly. This got awkward and he looks sad lol. "I'll be honest I am applying to the selection, I'm just not exactly ready for people to know..." I ramble hopefully making the situation better.

"I understand." He says with a nod, "I haven't even told my parents." He continues with a laugh, "me either." I reply, "but the chances of us being selected are slim so we don't have to do anything rash."  I continue, Steve nods his head as we continue walking to the post office in silence.

Once we turn out applications in we part ways saying awkward goodbyes as we both have just come out to someone we barely know.

On my way home I start to panic, what if I get picked? How will my father react? What if he disowns me? Stop worrying alec the chances of you being selected are basically zero.

Or so I thought....

"Alec hurry up they are about to announce the selected!" Izzy yells, I groan and drag myself down the stairs to sit in front of tv for an hour to be disappointed this will be fun.

I sit next to Izzy who is completely focused on the tv. We sit through 5 minutes of useless information before they finally start.

"First up Allens, Alexander Lightwood 3." WHAT?
