Chapter 2
Tessa pulled up the Raposo�s driveway and got out looking at the house for a moment. It was nice, a lot better then her classy apartment, his house was so normal, she liked that. She jogged up the steps to the front door and rang the doorbell.
�Hello can I help you?� A woman asked as she opened the door. �Uh hi, I�m Tessa Von, is Greg home?� she asked smiling sweetly. �Yes, he�s up in his bedroom, second door to the left!� she said stepping aside and letting Tessa in.
�May I ask what you and my son will be doing up there?� She asked looking Tessa over, hoping she wasn�t involved in drugs, happy to not smell smoke on her clothes, just the fresh scent of raspberries.
�Oh a History project!� Tessa answered. �What�s the topic?� she asked. �World War 2!� Tessa answered. �All right then, go on up!� Mrs. Raposo answered, approving of Tessa.

Greg looked over his room making sure nothing was misplaced or trashy looking, he didn�t know why it was so important, but it just was. Two light knocks came from the door, �Greg?� Tessa�s preppy but not perky voice drifted into the room. �Uh come in!� Greg said quickly sitting down at his computer desk.
�Hi� Tessa said walking in. Greg�s eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. Her dark denim jeans hugged her legs and her maroon v necked sweater intensified every curve of her body. Her blond hair was down and wavy and she had on dark lip stick which made her full lips stand out.
�Hey� Greg said acting normal as always, the truth was that he had never had any girl except Bianca in his room, and they had grown up with each other so it was no big deal. �A nice room you got here!� Tessa laughed looking around.
All wood floors with dark blue walls, and blue plaid sheets, a few posters on the walls here and there, pretty much a normal room, she was loving it. Unlike her room, mirrors everywhere, and pillows, and everything was white, her mother had designed the whole house.
�Uh thanks!� Greg said turning to his computer screen. Tessa stood uncomfortably in the middle of his bedroom waiting for him to ask her to sit down. �Um, are you just going to stand there?� Greg asked turning to face her.
She bit her lip, �Well I wanted to be polite!� Tessa said matter-of-factly. �Oh well I don�t really care if you polite or not, you can come site down next to me!� he said patting the seat next to him.

�Okay all this studying is making me hungry, want to order a pizza?� Greg offered. �Um, I�m not all the hungry, but you can order one if you�d like!� Tessa answered. �Um ok!� Greg said dialing Dominos.
=====
�Tessa, it�s 10 o clock, do you think maybe you should go home?� Greg asked downing his 6th slice of pizza. �Yeah, probably, who knew that it was this impossible to research World War 2!� Tessa said getting up from the computer.
�Yeah, to be honest I need a really good grade, cuz my life is depending on it pretty much!� Greg said. �Mine to! We are really going to have to crack down I guess.� Tessa shrugged putting on her jacket.
�Um, do you want to come over tomorrow night to?� Greg asked her as she reached for the door knob. �Uh, sure, why not!� Tessa shrugged with an unexpected sweet smile. �Bye Greg� she said and left. �Bye�
�What is wrong with me!?!?� Greg asked himself once she left. �I just froze up! I acted like a jerk! And she was so nice! Ugh, stupid kid, stupid kid!� Greg said to himself.
