Tessa flicked her single hair strand behind her ear and said,"Now, let's us open our devices and go on Youtube and find videos about Charles Dickens," guided Tessa. She's 23 and she's loved by her students. Yes, being a single mum might be harsh, but seeing her two little children and these students everyday? She's more than grateful. James and Lucie are charmers. They sure had inherited that from their father. Yes, and that's how you fell for their father and he ended up breaking your heart, right? An annoying voice in her head said. Sure, she did have times where she had missed him horridly, but she had let go. They were the past. Lucie and James are her future. Plus, he had a different girl every time she flicked the tabloids and Tessa had not failed spotting the single similarity of those girls - they were all brunettes.

"Miss Gray?" A young voice brought Tessa out of her thoughts, "I can't function this thingy. It's-." Tessa smiled gently at him and taught the student gladly. She enjoyed this job a lot. Being a Literature teacher really made her feel satisfied, plus Literature was her strength.

...

Tessa stretched her arms. It had been a tiring day. After these much lessons, she deserved a break. But no. There's a sudden meeting something about football. Tessa rolled her eyes, football is none of her business. Apparently, the school football team was going to do something and suddenly St Michel became a football school. A sudden tap on her shoulder made Tessa startled. She turned around abruptly and saw her best friend, Bethany Chau. "Whew! You scared me Bethie!" exclaimed Tessa, as they walked across the gigantic playground of St Michel. Bethany was the only one who knew about the truth of Tessa's children.

"So... i heard it is about football," Bethany said, wriggling her eyebrows,"I heard from the PE department that some football star is coming for a visit..."

"For what?" Tessa inquired.

"Idk. Maybe you should ask Tyler, you know, he's the head of PE, after all. Plus," replied Bethany, "He's kinda into you."

Tessa rolled her eyes but smiled nevertheless.

"Hey Tessa!" a male voice shouted behind Bethany and Tessa turned their heads together and they turned around together, hitting each other with their ponytails in the process. It was Tyler and well, he had a crush on Tessa.

Bethany looked at her watch when Tyler came, and she said, "Oh! I have to go to the office first. I have to take some paperwork for the Headmaster. Tyler, would you mind accompany Tessa to go to the common room?"

Tyler smiled and shrugged,"Sure," he turned to Tessa and they talked and talked until they arrived at the common room.

...

When Tyler and Tessa finally walked into the common room, they settled down and continue to chat about the school, and many more stuff. The Headmaster, Mr Chiu came in quickly and sat down at the chair and gained every one's attention. "So, as you all know, St Michel is not only famous for its education, but also its football team and a football team had reached me to propose an idea that they will let few of their football stars and seekers to come over and check out the kids."

The PE teachers all looked very excited, but Tessa was puzzled. Why was she, along with the rest of the English teachers, involved?

Chiu continued,"You see, we would also need the English teachers' help to... uh... Never mind, we just need you guys to be there."

All the English teachers rolled their eyes but agreed nevertheless.

Chiu smiled,"Now let us welcome the footballers and the seekers!"

The door opened and in come people, four people came before one person who Tessa thought of never seeing again.

William Herondale.
