Forever Yours

Chapter 4

IZZY POV:

Izzy lay on her bed with her face planted in her mountain of hot pink pillows. She couldn't believe that Alec had agreed to the selection that they're parents (mostly her mom) had planned. And right now 24 girls were on their way to the palace from all over the country. Soon these walls would be filled with squealing girls that were crushing on Alec. 

Isabelle smiled inwardly, little did those girls know that Alec wasn't interested. In fact, he wasn't interested in any girl. 

"Hey Iz!," she heard a knock on the door, "The girls are here!"

She groaned and stood up slumping her shoulders and sauntered over to the door. She opened the door and peeked out. Magnus, her personal guard and best friend, was standing there with a smirk on his face. 

Magnus was the kind of person that you could trust with anything and he would never betray you. She always found that he could make her smile, even on one her worst days. His hair that usually stuck up in spikes and covered in glitter was currently covered by his helmet. 

Just like Izzy shared her secrets with Magnus, Magnus shared his secrets with her. For example, he was bisexual. At first Izzy didn't know what the meant because topics like that were forbidden to be spoken about in all of Idris, which in Isabelle's opinion, was just absurd. 

Izzy secretly thought that Alec was gay, which was totally cool with her. Her parents, however, might not take it so nicely. She knew that Alec knew that he liked boys, but he never actually said that he was gay. Possibly, she thought, because he didn't actually know that there was a word for it. 

Izzy stood beside Magnus at the entrance of her room and watched as 24 girls with identical rosy knee-length dresses filed down the hall toward the guest wing. Isabelle quirked an eyebrow at one of them because the girl was desperately trying to hike up the dress so that it reached her mid-thigh. Izzy pinched the bridge of her nose and closed her eyes, slowly shaking her head. Didn't this girl know that if she did that in front of Alec he would send her home in a matter of minutes? 

Alec, Izzy thought, was not interested in girls but even less in girls who tried to win everyone over by shoving their humongous breasts in their faces. 

Izzy glanced at Magnus and saw that he was grimacing as well, he had seen it too. Her eyes locked on a pair of gleaming green eyes that belonged to a slender, blonde girl around 18, she looked as if she had been forced into the dress and had very little makeup on, compared to most of the other girls. She opened her mouth as if she was going to speak but was cut short by the loud screeching of the attack alarm. In a matter of seconds the room had turned to chaos, there were girls everywhere and a handful of guards scattered throughout the hall ushering everybody to safety.
