New story. What else could I say? R&R! Don't judge, I'm only a poor little girl with no creativity.

Chapter 1

Theresa Gray, preferably known as Tessa, stood in front of Shadowhunting College as the cool summer breeze caressed her cheeks. She had fought her way through primary and secondary school. And now there she is, arriving for her journey through college. She was an ordinary girl, hazel brown eyes and hair, beautiful, except the fact that she was taller than most boys. With an inhale of fresh air, she stepped into the new chapter of her life.

A rush of cold wind blew past her as a blond-haired girl rushed past her. Tessa caught a glimpse at her name tag. Jessamine Lovelace. She proceed into the school. Gracious, this school is big! Tessa thought with amazement.

Tessa walked aimlessly forward, marveling at the school. Suddenly, she bumped into a dark-haired boy with blue eyes.

"I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" Tessa questioned worriedly.

"I'm good. New here? Grade 1?" He questioned me back with much curiosity.

"Yup. It's my first day here. My name's Theresa Gray, you can call me Tessa." She held out a hand.

"Much to my convenience, Tessa. My name is William Herondale, you can call me Will. And it's my first day here too." He gladly took Tessa's held out hand.

"May I see your timetable so that I could show you to your classroom?"

Tessa gladly took out her timetable from her file and passed it to Will. As Will scanned her timetable, she gazed at him with admiration. Black hair and blue eyes, and he speaks with gracefulness, who wouldn't want such a man? He's totally perfect!

"Perfect!" Tessa was startled by his sudden speech. How'd he know what I was thinking? Tessa thought, still startled.

"We have the same classes! I could bring you to your -our- classes. My sister studies here, that's why I would know where the classes are, if you were wondering." He exclaimed with joy. Oh, that's why, Tessa thought, as if she was dropped from the top of the well.

Will started walking towards a spiral staircases, with different runes encrusted. And Tessa, was on his heels. She followed Will to a classroom, Emerald - English 1, at Level 3.

"Here we are, first lesson's English. By the way, the teacher might be a little... Overbearing." Will shot Tessa a cheeky glance, then turned his attention to a boy with silvery hair, and turned back to Tessa, now with a smile. "Come here. Come and meet my best friend, James Carstairs, you can call him Jem." He led her to his silver friend.

"Will, where have you been? You just disappeared somewhere." His best friend, Jem, asked with concern.

Will, as if embarrassed, scratched the back of his neck, "Well, I-I walked around the school?"

Jem was calm, totally unaffected by Will's embarrassment, "As if. I bet you were looking for Ella. I told you she would be in Fighting class."

Will waved away the subject as he introduced Tessa, "Never mind about that. This is Tessa." She did a small curtsy.

"Since it is your first day in college, Tessa, you could have the honor of sitting with us today." Will offered.

Tessa took the seat beside Will. A man, roughly between his fortys to fiftys, entered the class.

"Good morning class, my name is Henry Branwell. Please call me Mr Branwell. Our first activity is definitely, introduction of yourselves." Mr Branwell grinned.

As Tessa stood up for her introduction, she saw the blond haired girl who rushed past her, Jessamine. "My name is Tessa Gray. I have brown eyes and... I'm in Grade 1." Tessa quickly rushed through the last sentence as she saw two boys, they had introduced themselves as Axel Mortmain and de Quincey, mocking in her direction as if to say who doesn't know that.

Will, who saw how Mortmain, as he preferred to be called, and de Quincey treated Tessa, had the urge to go forward and slap them in their faces.

He saw Tessa's excitement had drowned, and she had become hurt. He wanted to pat Tessa on the back, and comfort her. Instead, he just said a few encouraging words to Tessa, "Tess? It's okay. They are jerks. Come on. Smile." Tessa faced Will, and gave him a faint smile.

I love this story. Definitely better than my other one on Mortal Instruments. R&R!
