Thank you all so much for your encouragement!

Now to respond to a few reviews...

Gray: Yes, that tends to be my weak spot. I'm not always good at humor and my definition of humor is often different from most people's definition. These first 3-4 chapters are always less amusing because I have characters to introduce and relationships to establish and there isn't anywhere to put it. I will try though! And I thought I said it was going to be both Jessa and Wessa at different points. It isn't going to be similar to Pride and Prejudice in any other way than the themes. The plot for this is completely different from the plot in the book. Hope that clarified things!

Guest (the 1st one/the one on top): Thank you! I like my details :P. And I wish I knew Rosamund too. She's so sweet!

This is sort of a mini-chapter, but I didn't really want to make it longer. It kinda needs to be its own thing, so I hope you like it!

Chapter 3

A few days after the party, the subject of Will came up between Rosamund and Tessa. They had been sitting together in Rosamund's room before going to bed. Rosamund told Tessa how Will was son of one of the richest men in London and Jem, Will's best friend, was also quite wealthy. Learning that Will was rich only made her more irritated with him.

"I just can't believe how he treats people," Tessa said, shaking her head. "I mean, he was rude to me and I hadn't even know him for more than a few moments, if that. Who does that? And why? I can't believe he's really arrogant enough to think that just talking to someone will make their life better!"

Rosamund, who had listened to her rant in silence, spoke up. "Oh that's just how Will is. I'm sure he has a reason or explanation for his behavior."

"Is there anyone you dislike, Rose?" Tessa teased before adding, "I think he's just rich and snobby. That's the only explanation he could have."

"I still thought what you said to him was funny," Rosamund said with a smile. "He definitely wasn't expecting it."

"Of course not. Who would dare tease the high and mighty William Herondale?" Tessa said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I would have stayed silent, perhaps, if he hadn't been so quick to insult me."

"Just be careful, Tessa," Rosamund warned. "Will doesn't always play nice."

"Oh I don't think he'll pay much attention to me. After all, I'm not exciting enough for him," she said as she stood. "Well, I am going to go to bed. Good night!" Before she left the room, Tessa paused in the doorway and turned around. "I think you need to keep an eye on Gideon," she teased, a grin beginning to spread across her face. "He couldn't stop looking at you yesterday."

Rosamund's cheeks burned as she protested, but Tessa just laughed quietly and then continued into her room. Tessa closed the door behind her and then climbed into bed. Even as she slipped under the covers and closed her eyes, however, she knew she was going to see a certain blue eyed boy in her dreams.

Will and Jem walked through Piccadilly Circus on their way to lunch. They sometimes went to one of the taverns along Shaftesbury Avenue together. Will had been silent nearly the whole walk, and Jem was giving him worried glanced from time to time.

"Are you all right, Will?" Jem asked hesitantly. Sometimes asking Will what was bothering him would only make him more upset.

Will nodded, stuffing his hands into the pocket of his jacket.

Not convinced, Jem asked, "You're not still upset about what Tessa said, are you?"

Will looked over at him pretending to be confused. "The American girl? Nah, she was probably still jet lagged and didn't really know what she was saying."

Jem raised a pale eyebrow at him. "Is it really so hard to believe that someone would snap back at you? One of the first things you said to her was an insult, after all."

"But that's just how I am!" Will said defensively. "It's not my fault she doesn't have a sense of humor," he finished, scowling at the ground.

"You're still upset about it," Jem concluded.

It was not a question.

Since this one was so short, I hope to have chapter 4 up later today. I'm going to try to update fairly often, but I'm currently taking a class and I'm writing a few other things, so give me some slack please!

Anyway, tell me what you think! I have such fun reading reviews and it makes me want to write!
