Novel & Cerita Team 10 Tessa Brooks

They were pieces on his chessboard, working day and night so Carter Automotive Hub could dominate every road, every showroom, every glossy magazine cover. “Good afternoon, Mr. Carter,” a chorus of voices rang as I crossed the lobby. I nodded at them. “Good afternoon, Jeremy.” I knew who that was before I looked. It was Tessa, a two-year old recruit who had severally tried to communicate her feelings for me before—through numerous eye contacts, exaggerated warmth thrown my way during past meetings, and worse, she had written a letter and tucked it into my jacket’s pocket before. She was brave, I gave her that.

October will be intense, emotional, and full of the magic, danger, and romance you’ve been waiting for. In the meantime, let’s make it fun—tell me in the comments: Which team are you on as we head into the endgame? #TeamCaelum #TeamElias #TeamLucien #TeamNora #TeamWhyChoose

"Nobody is immune to athletes, Mills." "She is," Miller insisted. "She's been with Brooks. Your half-brother. She's been hanging around the team for years and never batted an eyelash at any of us. If you want a tutor who won't try to climb into your lap, Summer is your only hope." I narrowed my eyes. The memory of her slapping me flashed back, sharp and strangely satisfying against the sick feeling still sitting in my chest. A slow smirk spread across my face, easier to wear than whatever I'd actually been feeling two minutes ago.

I hiss. Taelin is laughing at us. Jordan is the captain and starting quarterback of the football team. We all walk out when someone yells about celebrating at T & A. Oh here, we go. Tessa isn’t going to be thrilled to be invaded by all us jocks at once. There is no stopping the group and as the bar comes into view, I know it's going to be a crazy few hours.

Her stuff was laying in the grass, in an unorganized pile. "I want to catch Danny completely off guard tonight. I want it to look like you see me cheering for him, and get pissed." Tessa rummaged through her bag, and pulled out her phone. "Text me where the student section is, and I'll be there by the start of the game." "It's called kick-off." I giggled at her choice of words, and she threw up her hands in defense. "I never claimed to know anything about football." She laughed. "Basketball is my favorite."

I was about to speak up to defend myself, but Zuhra spoke first. "So that you know, Tessa was doing just fine before we met. She's not a charity case. How I met her is none of your business; she's ten times better than you anyway, so it's a win for me." "There's no way she's better than me!" Brooklyn's voice broke as she spoke.

WILLOW “I’m not going to have Tessa suspended from the squad,” I announce. “I know that’s what you’re all expecting me to do but I won’t. There’s been enough in-fighting. It’s time we put that aside and try to work together for the sake of the team.” “That’s not what Tessa said you’d do,” someone says. Her name is Vanessa. She’s in Tessa’s house. “She said you would try to kick her off the team.”

I bid them to enter and the housekeeping supervisor pokes her head in. “You sent for me, Alpha?” she asks nervously. “Natalie, this is Tessa. She will work on your team full time until further notice,” I advise. The supervisor looks at Tessa curiously, then holds her hand out to shake Tessa’s, “It’s a pleasure to meet you. Sorry if I smell like bleach, we’ve been doing some sanitizing down in the weight room today.” Tessa stands and gives her a firm handshake, “It’s alright. I understand.” The only difference between her and Lenora that I can tell, is that she doesn’t have Lenora’s dagger and heart tattoo that has Mom and Dad’s names incorporated on her forearm.

I shouted at Thomas who just smirked. Oh, no he didn't. "You might think I'm one of your prissy little toys, but I'll have you know, I have a lot more goddamn self-respect than any of them. Hell will have to freeze over for you to ever find me in your bed because I'm not that type of girl. I'm the captain of Brooks Varsity basketball team, and I'm the main reason our team won the last two championships."

Brax fought harder to try to get out of his restraints with no luck. "OH LITTLE GIRL!" he yelled, holding the knife pressed to Eve's neck. "if you don't show yourself, I'll make every one of your friends here suffer", he paused, still holding the knife to her. I wanted to be the hero here and come out and stop him, but I was frozen in fear. All I could do was sit and watch tears fall from Eve's eyes, washing away some of the blood that soaked her face.
