A/N: So I got one review (thanks, guest reviewer!) that said they were confused. Just to clear things up, Will has fallen in love with Tessa and is unsure about what to do, and Tessa is unsure and in denial. Also, my last chapter didn't post, but it was basically Tessa realizing that Will actually isn't that bad and being in denial about that.

-Chapter 4-

Tessa woke up, until the events of last night crashed over her. She couldn't go on seeing Will. She would have to cancel their tutoring sessions. Just then, a thought occurred to her. She rushed to the bathroom, checking every inch of her body. She sighed in relief. No tattoo. Yet, she told herself. Tessa straightened her back. She would cross that bridge when she got to it.

She spent the first part of her morning trying to catch up with Sophie and Cecy. Apparently Cecily and Gabriel Lightwood were going to the winter formal together. Tessa thought about this. With Gabriel's sharp features and Cecy's piercing blue eyes, they were a striking couple. Unfortunately, thinking of those blue eyes brought Tessa to her least favorite subject. Will. She would have to suffer through an entire English class next to him. Maybe it would be more bearable now that her feelings were warmer.

Of course, just as she thought about English, the warning bell rang. She hurried off to class. Will, naturally, was sitting there smirking.

As she got to her seat, Will brightened considerably. He turned towards her.

"Hey," he said. Now that she new he wasn't from here, she thought she detected a hint of another accent. Welsh, maybe?

"Tess, I've been wondering..." he trailed off with a short cough. "Since you've been helping me so much, maybe... I could.. return the favor?"

"What do you mean?" Tessa asked, confused.

"Well, I wanted to ask you to the winter formal," he said. "Unless, I mean... someone else asked you already."

"No, but... return the favor?" Tessa asked, suddenly angry. Determined not to let it show, she shrugged. "I guess I'll think about it."

Will looked as dejected as she had ever seen him. He nodded and swiveled back around as class started.

The day seemed to fly by to Tessa. All she could think about was Will. Sure, he was nice enough and funny and... where was she going again? Anyway, he acted as if she couldn't get a date herself. Which, she told herself, was completely untrue. She had gotten Will, hadn't she? Oh. Maybe Tessa really did want to go with Will. She took out her phone and texted him: "How about another study session?" His response was almost instantaneous. "Yeah, I'll pick you up around 4."

Tessa waited for what felt like a year until 4:00. As soon as Will and her sat down in the car, she whispered "Yes."

"Pardon?" Will asked.

"Yes," Tessa said, "I'll go to the winter formal with you."

Will grinned, seeming genuinely happy. They made it to his apartment and studied for a while, with Will never not smiling. Tessa found that Will was all that she could think about for the rest of the night. Feeling odd, she ran upstairs. It was just as she thought. A new tattoo on her forearm. She frantically told herself that maybe it didn't match Will's. But would it be so bad if it were? a tiny voice in the back of her head said. She went to sleep thinking about that.

A/N: I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I might wrap up the fic soon. Drop me a review!
