Tessa Gray had just walked through the baggage claim in some London airport when she spotted her brother's striking blond hair against the drab brick walls. He was sitting in a chair right outside the doors of the airport.
"Nate!" she cried. She sprinted towards him lugging her bag behind her. She hadn't seen him since last summer. He went to the Idris Academy for the Gifted or IAG as most people called it. He was a swimmer, as was she. They both had started swimming in their home of New York when they were 5.
"Tessie," he said endearingly as he moved towards her and gave her a hug. "How was your flight?" Tessa really didn't know how to answer his question. On one hand, she was beyond ecstatic to see Nate, but on the other, she was tired because it was only 8 a.m. in London and would only be about 3 a.m. in New York.
Having gotten almost zero sleep on the plane, she responded with, "I'm just kind of tired, I guess."
"Well," said Nate, "the taxi is waiting out front. We should probably be going anyways. Headmistress Branwell is expecting to meet you at 10."
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey, so this will be my NaNoWriMo project. I will try to update two to three times a week, but no promises. I will probably not update this story for a week or so because I would kind of like to get a bit more of a head start on it. Also, sorry this chapter is so short, but I couldn't think of a better place to end that I have already written, so the next update will be WAY WAY LONGER! I don't really no much about British education or Time Zones, so if you see anything wrong just PM me or Review. Don't forget to R&R guys!
