Tessa and Will walked back to the car. On their way there, Tessa kept tripping because her luggage was so heavy. She could tell Will was getting annoyed with her quickly. She could tell. Finally, after her fifth time tripping Will spoke up. "Tessa let me have your luggage."
At that Tessa was confused, "What?"
"I said; let me have your luggage." Will repeated, not bothering to hide his annoyance.
"Why?" Tessa asked, still confused.
"You are obviously not strong enough to carry that bag. Let me help."
"Oh, well, thank-you, William" Tessa said unsurely.
"Oh, please Tessa what is this, the 18th century? Really, please call me Will, I hate such formalities."
"Thank-you Will, it is very nice of you to help me with my luggage."
"Don't mention it. Seriously. I have a reputation to protect."
Tessa didn't exactly understand what he meant by this. She decided she would ask the first nice person she met. Will was nice enough, but he felt guarded, like he didn't want to open up. Tessa felt as though there was a chain around his heart. She hoped one day she could find the key.
Tessa was pondering what could possibly make someone so closed off, Will spoke for the first time since they excited the airport. "Here's the car." Will put the luggage in the truck and then climbed into the back seat of the car, extremely close to her, she noticed. "Thomas, please take us to our dorms. I'd bet good money that Tessa is wondering if all British guys are as captivating as I am." Will said, waggling his eyebrows at Tessa. Tessa, on her part, rolled her eyes and continued to ignore the imbecile sitting beside her.
"It's confirmed" Tessa thought "They could not have sent a more arrogant, conceited or handsome boy to pick me up." Tessa groaned. "May I ask, approximately how long will it take to get to the institute?"
"I'd say probably about an hour or so from here." Will said. Suddenly a sly grin appeared on his face. "It will give us plenty of time to get to know each other".
"Oh boy"
