This is my first Fan Fiction so, you like it :D

Tessa was sitting at her rocking chair reading her favorite book, A Tale of Two Cities until she heard a knock on the door. She looked up finding Elizabeth Gray, her mother standing in front of her. She was curious because normally, her mother doesn't come to her room unless she was being called for meals or something happened.

"Would you want to join me at the mall and afterwards buy some books at your favorite bookstore?" asked her mother

When she heard her mother say 'buy some books', she immediately stood up.

"Sure, I'll be downstairs, I just need to change" she look down at herself, just wearing a crop top with shorts that are at her mid-thigh. She doesn't want to wear this sort of clothing when she went out.

She grabbed a pair of long pants considering she is tall which makes her the tallest girl in her class and a shirt and went straight to the bathroom and changed. After changing, she grabbed a pair of converses and went downstairs.

Her mom was already waiting inside the car. They were sitting in silence which is awkward since her mom babbles a lot so Tessa decided to put her earphones and put her iPod on shuffle.

When they arrived at the mall, Tessa saw her mom with a worried face. She kept on wondering what's wrong with her all day. Maybe mom is just worried about how will I face college. With that she shrugged and went to her mother.

They were in the supermarket buying liquor for her drunkard brother, Nate. She missed the old Nate, sweet, kind and independent. Now, Nate is this total jerk that only depends on mom. He is even bloody 23 years old and he doesn't have a bloody job.

"So, I was wondering where would you want to go for college?" her mom said, breaking the silence

"I want to go to NYU with the gang, you know, Alec, Jace, Clary, Isabelle and Simon." she knows that even though she said this dad would just say no and say a well-known university.

"Your father and I discussed about your education" she couldn't look Tessa in the eye.

"And?"

"We decided to let you study in London, at the Institute."

With that her mouth hung open. She knows her dad would say that she will not be going to NYU. But going to a boarding school, that's just purely insane.

Please review if you want :D
