This is another story I wrote for my language arts class. This one I wrote in like half an hour, so I felt rushed. Francis and me are discussing a business deal. Please, review this! I always keep forgetting to say it, but not this time!
An eerily ringing silence filled the room. Being alone is nowhere near as horrendous as being in the same building as him, let alone the same room. Cornered, I proceeded to ask the first question.
"Do you wish to state your terms? Exhausting as an 8-hour flight is, you were the one to propose the sale of the land to me. Francis, what is your asking price?"
Gaily, he responded, "Ah, oui!" Haughtily, he added, "before we discuss such dull matters, why don't we sit down to a refreshing glass of wine?"
"I'm a minor, you dolt! Just because your culture allows it doesn't mean that it's legal in AMERICA," I scolded. Knowing American policy is something this man obviously does not.
"Listen, I just wanted to be courteous… Moreover, I think $3 million is a fair asking price. Now, this is extremely fertile land! Oranges, lemons, apples, pears, grapes, and anything else you fancy can be grown effectively. Please, I hope you find this a good deal, because to me it seems like a steal!"
"Quite the proposal, Francis. Really, it's such a cheap price you ask for 300 acres! So a deal it is! The land shall be ready by…"
"Um, a week about; come to my National Bank to pay the deposit." Very pleased with himself, he sank back into his chair.
"Well, I guess the deal is closed, no?" I grinned; perhaps he's not such a creep after all (the rumors going about this man are terrifying, so my reaction wasn't the brightest when I found out he was being sent as the representative).
"Excellent; shall I make the accommodations for you at my finest hotel, mademoiselle?" he cried joyfully, using such…odd… hand gestures, almost suggestive. Yuck, I take back what I said!
Zigzagging not, I dashed out of the room as casually as I could, grateful for the warm sun on my face.
I don't know if you took notice, but every sentence began with the next letter of the alphabet. That was the requirement for the assignment. I hope you didn't, though! That means it wasn't a total failure! Well, I hope you liked it, and even if you didn't, leave a review and tell me what you didn't like. Please~ -puppy dog eyes-
Ciaossu!
