Chapter 2
The gang edged towards the door, and Edd reached his hand out for the doorknob. He opened it, and saw a girl, slightly shorter than Tom, currently texting on her iPhone.
She looked up, and noticed Edd. "Hey, is Matt here?"
Edd obviously noticed the British accent, due to the fact that she couldn't pronounce her "r"s.
Matt rushed up to her. "Lyssie!"
As Matt embraced her in a tight hug, the others noticed the only luggage she had was a red backpack. As Matt let go, Tom asked, "Where's your stuff?"
"In here."She motioned towards her backpack.
"Here, let me see."Matt held out a hand and Alyssa handed it to him. Matt looked inside, and saw nothing at first, but stuck his head further in and almost fell in the large interior of the backpack. Alyssa pulled him out.
"Silly Matt, it's my backpack that's larger on the inside!"Alyssa laughed. Matt chuckled uncertainly, then introduced the others who were currently standing in the back awkwardly.
"This is Edd."Matt gestured to Edd. Alyssa smiled.
"Hey, I'm Alyssa."She held out a hand and Edd shook it.
"Edd."He smiled.
"This is Tom."Matt nodded towards Tom, who looked at Alyssa.
"Oh, hey, I"m Tom."Tom held out a hand and Alyssa shook it, laughing a bit.
"I'm Alyssa."At a closer glance, Tom noticed that Alyssa's backpack wasn't plain red, but red and black checkered.
"And this is Tord."Matt introduced Tord, who looked at Alyssa and smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Alyssa. I'm Tord."Tord shook Alyssa's hand, and Alyssa blushed.
"Well, I'm Alyssa, but you probably knew that already."Alyssa said, and the two laughed.
"Well, now that you know everyone, Alyssa, tell them what you like."Matt said after Alyssa and Tord had stopped laughing.
"Well, I like bacon, Cola, checkered patterns, playing the bass, guns, and Norway. When I lived there for a year, I loved it there."Alyssa smiled to the others, who were gaping at Alyssa.
"Told you that you guys would like her."
"Why?"Alyssa asked.
"Well, Edd lopve Cola and bacon, Tom lopves his bass, Susan, and checkered patterns, and Tord is Norwegian and loves guns."Matt said.
"What a coincedence."Alyssa smiled.
