Sooo, this is my first fanfic so please, try and not be too... flamable with this.
This is the
official disclaimer, so I won't write this again.
Characters to Cassie. Plots to me.
Enjoy.


Will and Tessa were in the libary facing each other.

''Why did you do that? Are you crazy?''

Great, Will thought, now she is mad.

''Look, Tess. It was an accident. I didn't mean to.''

''Charlotte will kill us if she see this.'' said Tessa

''See what?'' said a voice behind them

Well, Tessa thought, I'm dead.

They turned around and saw Jem standing in the doorway.

''What did you do this time, Will?'' he asked

''It wasn't me''

When he saw the incredulous look Jem was giving him he said,

''Well, it was me, but it wasn't''

Jem approached the pair and saw the mess. Two of the tea cups of the expensive china Charlotte had, were broken on the floor, and the tea was pouring in Charlotte's favorite Persian carpet.

''Great, now she will really kill us, Will''

''Who will really kill you?'' asked someone from the doorway

This is not my day, Will thought

Charlotte was standing in the doorway, and when the three teenagers said nothing, she moved as quickly as a short person can move and stood beside them. When she saw what they had done, she gave them a long lecture about how expensive the china and the carpet were and that they will clean it without Sophie's help.

''But it was Will's fault'' whinned Tessa

There was a long pause. The Head of the Institute watched Tessa, as if considering if she should believe her or not.

''Very well,'' she said finally, "Will, clean this mess. After you finish, meet me in the drawing room'' And she left.

''Do you want to go for a walk in Hyde Park, Tessa?'' asked Jem

''Of course'' she said

''Let's go''

''Wait. Are you going to leave me here all alone cleaning this?'' said Will, pointing at the broken cups with a look of mocking hurt in his face.

Tessa and Jem shared a look and said at the same time ''Yes'' and they left.

''Betrayed,'' Will muttered, looking back at the cups. ''cruelly abandoned by my parabatai to clean this mess alone. And to go out for a walk with Tessa. How he dares! Unbelievable. May the ducks devour them both''

And so, he stayed cleaning the mess, whilst Jem and Tessa went for a peaceful walk.
