DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE INFERNAL DEVICES

Tessa was paralyzed. She couldn't speak, couldn't move. Will was the first to speak. "Tess, right? That's the name of the girl who came and banged on my door for no reason?" he asked. Tessa couldn't seem to get a word out. Will gave her a knowing look accompanied by a smirk, "Still in awe, huh?"

At this, Tessa got mad and snapped out of her stupor. "Will, quit patronizing the girl," spoke someone on the other side of Will. A boy with the most stunning amber-green eyes peeked out from behind Will. "I'm Magnus Bane," he said, "Sorry about Will. Always seems to be on his period." Tessa couldn't help but crack a smile.

"Hey," piped in Will, "That is only three days a month, the rest I'm just naturally a bitch." Will flipped back his hand, seeming to flip his non-existent hair behind his shoulder, imitating a valley girl or something, Tessa didn't know.

"Just so you know," said Tessa, "my name is Tess-uhh, not Tess."

Will gave her a look, sizing her up. He finally looked up at her face. "I'm still gonna call you Tess," he said with a smile. He turned back to his food.

Magnus spoke to Will, "I swear, Jem needs to start walking with you everywhere to moderate you." Will didn't seem to care what he had said. Just then, a girl that looked about Tessa's age came and sat on Nate's lap. She had this bright blond hair that curled around her collarbones and was wearing a white babydoll dress.

Nate popped a kiss on her nose and she looked at him with brown eyes full of infatuation. Nate, only then, seemed to remember Tessa was sitting right next to him with a rather shocked look on her face. "Tessie," began Nate, "this is my girlfriend, Jessamine."

Tessa was shocked. She never thought her brother might get a girlfriend. He wasn't ugly, but rather lazy and daft. This girl must be kind of shallow. Jessamine flipped her hair off both of her shoulders and gave someone behind Tessa a scowl. Tessa turned her head and noticed Will imitating her. Tessa almost cracked a smile.

Jessamine turned her attention back to Tessa as Tessa turned her own back to Jessamine. "How do you do?" Jessamine reached a hand to Tessa, "My name is Jessamine Lovelace, but everyone calls me Jessie. Theresa, right?"

This girl must like to gab a bit, thought Tessa. Tessa responded, rather flustered, to the girl. "Yeah, but everyone calls me Tessa."

Jessamine turned to Nate, "We're going to be late," she hissed. Nate nodded and stood up as Jessamine hopped off his lap.

He leaned over to Tessa and said, "I'll meet you at your room tomorrow morning for breakfast," he said, "Be ready by 9." He then turned and left with Jessie at his side. Tessa turned, then, to Magnus.

"Magnus," she said, "where do we get food?" she inquired kind of shyly.

"Over there, dear," he said while pointing to a corner. Will seemed to notice nothing but his food. Tessa got up from her seat and walked to the corner that Magnus had pointed at. There was a lot over there; everything from salads to sandwiches, to burgers and fish sticks. She opted for a Ceasar salad and an apple.

She returned to the seat she was at before. Will had left, as had many of the other swimmers. Magnus seemed to be focusing on some foreign-language textbook. Tessa ate in silence alone.

Will retreated to his room once he had finished his dinner. Cecily lay on the bed, still sleeping. Tessa made him nervous, he didn't know why. Her eager gray-blue eyes made him think about things that he probably shouldn't.

Will strode to his desk and picked up The Fault in our Stars. He hadn't started to read it, but he would tonight. He clicked the lamp on, afraid to wake Cecily if he turned on all the lights or opened the blinds. He read for maybe two hours, when he succumbed to the sleep pulling at his eyes and lay there in the desk chair.

Tessa went to her room after the dinner, bidding goodbye to Magnus only. Currently, she was looking out her window. London was absolutely beautiful at night. She could see the Thames from the window. It was gorgeous, but it made her homesick. She didn't have many friends back home. The only person she missed was her Aunt Harriet. She pulled out her phone and texted her aunt.

Harriet- Everything's fine. Nate has been showing me around. I'll be okay here. -Tessa

She put the phone on top of the books covering her desk. She checked her suitcases to make sure she had unpacked everything. The only things left were her alarm clock, laptop, and her bed sheets. She laid the clock on her nightstand and put the laptop on top of the desk. She pulled the sheets out and made her bed.

It was only 9 p.m., but she was beyond tired. This wasn't unusual for Tessa, even on a Friday night. She slipped off her clothes and put a t-shirt on. Tessa laid on the bed and hoped that tomorrow would be a better day before flicking the lamp off and burrowing under the comforter.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I already have the next three chapters ready! I'll probably be posting one/two times a day for a bit. I hope you don't mind me spamming your email with new chapters! Next chapter will be up tomorrow morning. The Wessa/Jessa war is still going on. Tell me in the reviews. (semi/not to big)SPOILER: Jem shows up in the next chapter! :D See you tomorrow.
