Will Herondale sat on the football bleachers with his group of friends: Jem Carstairs, Gabriel Lightwood and Gideon Lightwood.
"So, what did the principal do to you?" Gabriel asked.
Will grinned. Will was known at school for his good looks and for being the prankster.
"She made me volunteer at a local bookstore." Will made a face.
Jem, Gabriel and Gideon smirked. They all knew how much Will hated books.
"Check out Tessa." Gideon said, wanting to change the subject.
"Eww. Those clothes are so 2 seasons ago!" Gabriel exclaimed, stating the obvious.
"Quit being so mean guys!" Jem stood up for anyone the group made fun of.
"She just needs some up to date clothes, and she would be dead sexy." Will chuckled at the thought of it.
After school, Jem, Gabriel and Gideon took Will's white Rolls Royce to the Herondale mansion. WIll dropped them off, and he went to find the local bookstore. He parked and made his way into the bookstore. It wasn't a very big place, but it was the right size for a bookstore. It smelt like old books. It was very loud in there as well, but as WIll walked into the staff room only, he noticed something weird. No one was there.
"Hello?" Will called out in a loud tone. Maybe I'll actually get out of here after all.
"In here." A female voice answered a few minutes later.
Will followed the voice and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw who it was. He had expected an old fat lady, but instead, it was Tessa. Tessa's long wavy brown curls flowed all the way down her back. She wasn't wearing the clothes she had worn to school. Instead, she was wearing a bright neon pink shirt that showed her belly button and a pair of skinny jeans. She looked gorgeous in Will's opinion.
"Hi. Will right?" She asked.
"That's me." Will replied, flashing her a smile.
"You will be sorting out the books to its shelves. Can you handle that?"
"Yeah sure."
"Great." She sighed.
"I have a feeling that you don't trust me." WIll said, arching an eyebrow.
"Course I don't."
"What makes you think that?" Will mumbled sarcastically. Tessa rolled her eyes
"Please just don't break anything or knock anything over."
"You really think I'm that irresponsible? Who do you think I am?"
"The cocky rich kid who cares about no one but himself." She said, looking him dead in the eye.
"Ouch. I'm hurt." Will faked a hurt look.
"You think that since your dad works at Cadair Idris Hospital and treats patients who has cancer, it would rub off on you." Tessa mumbled, thinking he wouldn't hear.
"How do you know he works there?" WIll had ears like a hawk. Only Jem, Gabriel and Gideon knew about his dad working there.
"Never mind. Just go ahead and start your work." Tessa said, changing the subject.
He gave her an odd look and went to work. Tessa Gray was a mystery.
