A/N: I know this is a short chapter, but I just wanted to set the story.  More chapters to come soon!

Chapter 2  Matt's POV

   I opened the door and found a girl, about my age, standing in front of me.

   "Hey!" I said, smiling.  She just stood there, mouth gaping open.

   "Is there a problem?"

   "Uh... I uh..."

   "You... What?"  I looked at her curiously.  She was pushing her light brown bangs out of her face and tucking them back into her ponytail.

   "Matt? Who is it?" my mother called.

   I hesitated. "Um... Her name is..."

   "Tessa," the girl stated.  She no longer looked shocked or frightened.  Now she had a huge grin on her face.

   "Tessa.  Nice name."

   She blushed, and I immediately regretted saying that. 

   "My name is Matt," I said, sticking out my hand.  Tessa shook it.  Then my mom came to the door.

   "Oh! Tessa! Your mom told me so much about you, but now I get to meet you in person!"  My mom pulled her into a hug, and Tessa's face turned bright red.

   "Is there anything we can help you with, my dear?" my mom asked.

   Tessa nodded. "My mom needs some flour, if you've got any."

   "Of course we do! I'll just go grab some," she said, wandering off.  My eyes were focused on Tessa's, and she was looking away, blushing.

   "Okay okay, I'm back! And here's your flour!"

   "Thank you Mrs. Strauss!" Tessa said. Then, with one look at me, she walked away.

   Dang.

   That girl has just got something about her.
