2. Chapter 1

YAY! I didn't think anyone would like my story! Thank-you to the three people who reviewed my first chapter. (SO FAR) I am open to suggestions, or requests to make the story better. Well here's the next chapter.

"Attention passengers! In just a few moments our boat will be arriving in London. Please prepare to disembark form our lovely ship, the Main. Thank-you and have a magnificent time in the city." Tessa sighed and shoved 'A Tale of Two Cities' in her purple polka-dotted purse.

Tessa gathered around the exit at the front of the ship, along with several hundred other passengers. For the first time since receiving her acceptance letter, she was nervous. She was nervous that she wouldn't fit in, nervous that people would scorn her for being different, for being who she was. The liner pulled up to the side of the dock and lowered down the ramp to go ashore with. Tessa saw about fifty men in suits all holding signs with people's names on them. She scoured the dozens of signs for one with her name on it. Suddenly, the best-looking boy she had ever seen appeared in the crowd. When she glanced down to his chest, she was surprised to see him holding a sign too. She was even more surprised to see the name on the sign. Theresa Gray. Her name. He. Was. Holding. A. sign. With. Her. Name. On. It. When he saw her looking at him, he gave her a smile. That smile made her heart flutter. It was the best smile she had ever seen. His teeth were perfectly straight and the whitest white she had ever seen. His hair was the blackest black and his eyes were a blue pool you could drown in.

"Attention passengers, it is now time to go ashore. Please collect your baggage and head to your destination. Thank you for choosing the S.S. Main." The ship lurched. My heart lurched. Everyone started to get off the liner and go to baggage claim and their 'men in black'. I headed to my new friend.

"Hi there. My name's William Herondale. I take it your Theresa Gray, or are you just one in the long line of women who would pay handsomely for some alone time with me."

Once again, I am truly sorry that the chapters are short. Thanks for reading. Now hit that little review button and make my night!
