American Girl in London

Chapter 1-The School Arrival

I do not own any of the characters in this fanfiction, all of the characters belong to the amazing Cassandra Clare :3

This is my first fanfic, the second chapter is going to be up on Sunday, please leave a review with what you think I should do to make my fanfiction better and what you think of it :) I would love that.

I hope you guys like it.

It was 6 a.m. and Tessa had to get ready for her first day in her new school. She and her brother, Nate, moved from the States to London after their aunt's death, and since that, she had always been in her room, reading or grieving, but she was tired of all that. Now, she was finally talking to someone other than her and Nate. Hopefully…

She wished the people in her school would be nice, and try to make her feel comfortable, even though she knew that it wouldn't happen. Those thoughts were making her nervous, and when she was finally able to shake those thoughts out of her head, she looked to the clock in her nightstand and noticed that she just spent half an hour thinking of stupid things. Then she rushed and took her morning shower, put on some jeans, a purple sweater that made her grey eyes pop, and put on some boots with small heels. She ran to the kitchen picked a granola bar a latte and went out of the door.

Tessa liked go for walk and strolls so she decided that she wanted to walk school. That she realized was a bad idea 10 minutes after she left since she was literally in the middle of London. She didn't really know any part of the city for this was the first day that she really got out of their apartment. Also, she was late for her first class that was apparently Maths. Great! Note the sarcasm. She didn't really like Maths that much, she preferred English Literature and things that were book related but taking Maths wasn't optional.

When she finally got to school she picked up her timetable that said that her Maths teacher was . For some reason that name made her feel like he wouldn't be the nicest person but she was just being paranoid. Probably.

She went straight to the Math's classroom. Before entering she looked to her Iphone and realized she was 15 minutes late. 'oh… this is going to be bad…' Tessa thought as she got in. 'great way to start the school year, just great!'

"Miss Gray isn't it?" Tessa nodded "This class started 15 minutes ago!" The teacher's voice started to raise until he paused, took a few breaths and cleared his throat. "Where were you young lady?"

"Oh…I don't really know London, or this school, that well. I only got here about a week ago." She wasn't used to make excuses and all that. She just hoped that would be enough.

"Right, I forgot. But this won't happen again! Do you hear me?"

"Yes, of course. It won't happen again."

Apparently she wasn't being paranoid because this man was just nerve racking. Anyways, what could she do? straightened his jacket and nocked in his desk, the students direct their attention to him.

"Class!" he said, almost shouting "this is Theresa Gray, she is your new classmate in Mathematics!"

Tessa blushed when she realized that everyone was looking at her, so she rushed over her seat. She chose an empty table in the back of the classroom. Maths passed slowly, but she knew that she would have English Literature next and she couldn't wait to see who and what waited for her there.
