Third Person POV:
'Ughhh, it's 8 am already,' exclaimed Tessa Gray. 5 years at London University and yet she still was not used to waking up so early. Despite the early time she had to be at class, she was happy. It was her last year at uni, so she could take classes related to her major, english, as opposed to the general knowledge classes she took during her first years here.
This year, she decided to keep a simpler schedule- a new class called Classics To Modern Literature from 9 to 11, a translating class from 1 to 3 every other day, a creative writing class on the opposite days at the same time, and a class about the logistics of literature from 3:30 to 5:30.
Tessa finally decided to get out of bed and get ready. She wore a simple ensemble: a light blue tank top to bring out the blue in her eyes, paired with a flowy black skater skirt. She did her makeup, keeping it natural with some powder, mascara, and lipgloss. She wasn't the most fortunate person, and used a simple trick she had learned online- to pinch her cheeks to create a blush-looking effect.
First Person POV- Tessa Gray
I decide to walk over to the English building and quickly found Room 314- her Classics To Modern Literature classroom. The professor teaching the class is supposed to be new, and he had just graduated from here 2 years prior. He had so many offers, but had his heart set on becoming a professor, so the University let him teach a class.
I walk in, and am the first one here. 'Always ready a half hour before class starts,' I think to myself. I'm always on time, and hate being late to anything. Ever. Just as I take a seat at the front, the professor walks in.
'Well, you're here early, aren't you? What's your name?' spoke the teacher, Professor Herondale.
I hate meeting new people, and quietly say, 'I'm Tessa Gray. Nice to meet you, Professor Herondale.' To avoid more conversations, I decide to pick up the book she was reading for the hundredth time, A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
'Trying to impress the teacher by coming early and reading a classic, eh?'
I internally sigh. There is no way out of this. Suddenly I have an idea: to pretend that Professor Herondale is my music teacher back home in New York, Mr. Carstairs. I completely trust him and can tell him anything.
'No, I just like being on time for classes and A Tale Of Two Cities just happens to be my favorite book of all time.'
'The book wasn't all that good, in my opinion.'
Before I can say another word, another classmate came and I pick up my book again, knowing that this class about classics is going to be terrible if the professor doesn't even like my favorite classic.
I push my thoughts away as Professor Herondale starts speaking. 'Good morning class! My name is Professor Herondale, and welcome to Classics To Modern Literature. In this class we will be exploring how many novels now have been inspired by classics. The first thing you will all get is my class syllabus and my rules. Do not think that just because this is my first year teaching that this class will be easy to pass.' He goes over his rules and gives us a brief overview of what we will be learning. Then, he decides that since our class is so small (only about 30 or so people, opposed to a normal class size of 50 to 100 students), that we should all go around the room saying our names and our favorite classic, and modern novel. The obvious classics, Pride And Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Oliver Twist are mentioned but not once is A Tale Of Two Cities mentioned. When it's my turn to go, I take a deep breath and try to calm down before sayin 'M-m-my name is Tessa Gray, and my favorite classic is a Tale Of Two Cities. I don't really have a favorite modern novel, but if I had to pick it would be Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver.' Oh great. I stuttered and probably have officially become the class loser, considering everyone else here is so confident.
Class finally ends and I walk away from the torture chamber, and decide to skip lunch and just get ahead on the class syllabus. A cup of tea is all I need to help me push through it. The rest of the day goes pretty well, I really enjoy the premises of Translation and Logistics Of Literature fascinates me, taking a closer look at the structure of books.
I get home and do some work for all my classes until about midnight, until I drift into sleep.
A/N: Hope you liked it! This first chapter really sets up the premises for this whole novel. Please share this story with a friend! Updates should be coming twice a week (hopefully)!
Until next time,
