Ok! Before I start the second chapter, I HAVE to thank gingersweetness for being the co-writer of this story. She actually gave the idea for this story so basically we're writing this together. Anyway, on with the story!

BONJOUR! MONSIEUR LAMPEROUGE

CHAPTER 2

Monsieur Lelouch Lamperouge was an oddity. At best he was downright abnormal. He had messy raven locks that suited his sharp features and piercing amethyst eyes that were devoid of any emotion. C.C. could see why others would find him attractive, but she wasn't exactly interested in those aristocratic types who only accepted jobs like these to pass time and obviously, the fact that he was a teacher kept her from drooling over him like the rest of the girls...and Brick.

First period with Monsieur Lamperouge was pretty mundane...at first. He introduced himself and gave the usual promise of a free period to get ourselves settled. However, after a while of silence, Kallen Kouzuki, self proclaimed perfectionist and the class know-it-all, stood up and said, "Bonjour Monsieur Lamperouge, Je m'appelle Kallen!"

Monsieur Lamperouge, who at the time was staring blindly out of the window, slowly rotated his head, cocked an eyebrow and sarcastically replied, "Good for you!"
He even went as far as to plant a fake smile that hardly encouraged any room for more chit-chat.

Kallen, however, would not be deterred.
"Excuse me, Sir, but it's only normal that you become acquainted with your class." Kallen stated.
Kallen turned a little red at the prospect of becoming acquainted with Monsieur Lamperouge and C.C. thought that even she herself would have liked to know more about their mysterious new teacher.

Surprisingly, this time Monsieur Lamperouge gave a more positive response...sort of.

He turned his head to the class once again and dryly replied, "Fine then, any questions?"
Immediately, Kallen raised her hand.
"Anyone besides her, please." Monsieur Lelouch deadpanned.
A girl in the back then raised her hand and asked,

"What clubs did you belong to in High School?"

"The go home after School Club."

For some reason unknown to C.C the girls in her class found this rather amusing, in fact the questions continued this time on a more flirtatious note.
"How old are you?"

"How old do you think I am?"

"Are you single?"
Monsieur Lamperouge chuckled and jokingly replied, "Why, you interested?"
The entire class, except for C.C. and Kallen broke out in laughter.
"Anything else?"
Once again, Kallen raised her hand.

"Great, no more questions!" he said pretending not to notice the girl. He then returned to gazing out the window promptly ignoring Kallen's sullen look.
The last thirty minutes of class was spent in uproar as everyone shifted in their seats and whispered to the person next to them about the new teacher. C.C. just scoffed and pulled out a book as time seemed to drag on for her, but after only ten minutes, she grew bored, and although it wasn't in C.C. fashion, she found herself staring at the new French teacher from the back of the class. He still stared fixedly out of the window and the only thing C.C. could think of was how sadistic he looked.

oO0((((((((((oO0Oo))))))))))0Oo

Everyone knew about C.C. She was said to be the Blair Witch of the 21st century. Everyone thought she practiced voodoo and once, Johnny Eckhart claimed to have seen her hovering outside his window on her broom. Her previous roommate, before she was sent to the Britannian Institute for the mentally unstable, was convinced that she saw C.C. having tea with the devil himself. Apparently it was a Sunday ritual.
Even now as C.C. walked down the halls of Ashford, students and teachers alike nervously averted their eyes hoping not to fall victim to her 'Black Magic'. However, Monsieur Lamperouge did not get the memo, because on his way to the teacher's lounge, he happened to bump into C.C. causing her to drop her books.
When she realised that the new French teacher had no intentions of at least apologising, since he continued to walk without batting an eye, she coldly remarked, "A gentleman would help a lady with her books."
He stopped dead in his tracks, turned around and with a fake smile replied, "Good thing I'm not a gentleman."
He paused and seemed to be inspecting her, from her strange green hair to her weird black tie and orange combat boots. "And thank God you don't seem to be a lady."
C.C. growled in annoyance. "You could at least apologise!"
"That's right...I could..."
No one could be sure, but as Monsieur Lamperouge continued to walk on, on-lookers swore they heard C.C. say, "You'll pay for this..."
