AUTHOR'S NOTE: Just so you know, the first part is Will POV then it switches to Tessa POV later on. I'll be doing this a lot more now. Have fun!
No new reviews sadly :(
((I wasn't expecting any though, I just posted the last chapter five hours ago ;) ))
DISCLAIMER: I AM ((UNFORTUNATELY)) NOT CASSIE CLARE. IF I WERE, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ON HERE. :)
Will pulled open his door, still flustered from his encounter with the girl next door. He still didn't even know her name and had already insulted her. Then, someone started banging on his door. Cecily. "WILL. WILL. OPEN THE DAMNED DOOR!" she said jokingly. Will walked to it, pulled his sister inside, and closed it behind him. The girl in 314 probably already hated him enough.
"Cecy, stop cursing. It's unbecoming," said Will.
"WELL, YOU TOOK TOO LONG TO OPEN THE DOOR!" said Cecily. To be honest, Will didn't really want to talk to her right now. She was probably PMS-y. He hated thinking of his little sister as some sort of woman.
"I'm sorry, Cecy. Please calm down," he said.
"Will, mam isn't answering my phone calls," said Cecily almost on the verge of tears. Cecily hardly was ever like this. She was so independent and strong, she swam with 14 and 15 year olds when she was only 13. She had also skipped a grade! She hardly cried, ever.
"Cecily, I'm sure she's just busy," Will said.
"But I haven't talked to her for a week. It's like as soon as we leave, she forgets about us," she complained. Will knew this. He hadn't talked to her for three weeks, even though he had just been home two days ago. Always so busy, his mam.
Will took Cecily in his arms and sat down with her on his bed. "It's okay, Cecy. She'll call us soon enough." Cecily was tired; Will could tell by the way she put all her weight on him and sagged in his arms. Soon enough, she was snoring. He laid her down on his bed and went out of his room. The hallway was empty except for 314 climbing up the stairs.
He closed his door and went down the stairs towards the dining hall.
Tessa lay on her bed for a few minutes. She pulled both of her suitcases onto her bed. She unpacked her swimsuits and towels first and hung them up in her closet. They reminded her of the reason she came to IAG in the first place and took her mind off the boy. She put the rest of her clothes on the shelves in her closet. She put the contents of the other suitcase, which were all her books, onto the desk. They filled it up quickly.
Tessa changed from her sweats and into a pair of jeans. She kept her brown hair in the ponytail though; it was rather unruly. She turned off the light and stepped out her door. Down the hall and to the right was a staircase. 416 must be upstairs, she thought. Behind her, she heard a door close and open. It could be any one of the 50+ rooms on this floor. More, hopefully welcoming, people to meet then. She made her way down the new floor to room 416.
She knocked on the door, absolutely praying that this was the right door. Tessa didn't need another episode of what happened with the supposed "Will" next door. Nate swung open the door right away. "I assume you found my letter?" Nate inquired.
"Of course, I did," she replied. How else would she have found his door.
"Well, you know how I said we were going down to dinner? There's been a change of plans," said Nate.
"What kind of change?" asked Tessa, face contorted into confusion.
Nate replied with a smile. "You'll find out, Tessie," he said. He stepped out of his room and closed the door. He walked past Tessa and down the stairs from which she'd come. Nate walked past the third floor, past the second, and then got out of the stairwell on the first floor.
Tessa followed Nate for a bit. She smelt chlorine. Her brother turned suddenly and walked into a door labelled 'Coach Lightwood'. "Coach, this is my sister, Tessa," said Nate to an older-looking man. Tessa also spotted a boy with blond hair. He looked not much older than a high school kid.
"Hello, Ms. Gray. Your brother has told me so much about you," said the older man.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: What did you guys think of the Will POV? And Cecily's meltdown? Tell me in the reviews. I think I'm going to keep the Jessa/Wessa/JWessa decision going until Wednesday. I'll announce then. Don't forget to R&R guys! The review literally make my day!
