Tessa couldn't help but stare. Why was this boy in her room? "Can't get enough, can you?" he said with a mix of British and, what sounded like, a Welsh accent and a crooked smirk on his face.
"No, I already have. What in the world are you doing in my room?" she asked, her eyebrows furrowed in a look of agitation.
The boy's smirk changed to a look of agitation as well. "What the hell are you talking about?" he growled, "This is my room."
"No, it's mine, Sophie showed me to this room and I would like to know what you are doing in it," said Tessa.
"Let me see your key," said the boy.
"Why should I?" responded Tessa getting more annoyed as the conversation went on.
"Because it has your room number on it," said the boy smugly. He stretched out his palm towards her.
Tessa brought up her hand with the key in it and put it into his hand. He looked down at it and examined the number. "It says 314," he said. Tessa looked at the boy's door and into his room a bit. It was filled with books it stacks on the wall, floor to ceiling, but the number on his door was 312.
"Oh my god," she said, "I'm sorry. How stupid of me."
He put the key back in her hand. "Must be all beauty and no brains," he said and stepped back with a look of almost disgust and closed the door in Tessa's face.
Her cheeks were bright red and she was kind of mad at the boy. Who did he think he was? It was just a mistake. It wasn't as though she was assaulting his door for no reason! She went to the left of the 312 and stopped to check she actually had room 314 before putting the key in the lock.
She stepped inside. The room was around 8x8 and had drab, white walls with brown carpet. Left of the door, there was a small closet and a desk with a bulletin board over it. On the right, there was a white framed twin bed bare of sheets with a nightstand squatting next to it. There was a rather large window that overlooked part of the Thames. There was a small mirror on the wall behind the door. She grabbed her two suitcases and brought them in.
When she was picked up the second suitcase, she noticed a piece of yellow paper on the floor. She picked it up and read:
Tessa,
Just so you know, my room isroom 416.
Come see me for dinner when you're done unpacking.
Nate
Tessa put the note on her desk and pulled her suitcase into the room. She shut the door behind her. She lay down on her bed and heard banging outside. Some girl, or at least it sounded like a girl to Tessa, was banging on a door screaming, "WILL. WILL. OPEN THE DAMNED DOOR!" Tessa tried to block out the noise as she attempted to tame the blush in her cheeks.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: So what do you guys think so far? I'll try to post another chapter later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. The posting of this fic will go through late-December/early-January depending on how long it ends up being. Thanks so much for reading you guys! It really means a lot to me. Don't forget to R&R. 'Til next time.
THANKS ~ Calliope Ferrer
