Mademoiselle Jenks!" I greeted as I opened my bedroom door for Scarlettbr /br /"Mousier Hayne. Or should I say Alexander Jacob!" She greets back as she walks in br /br /"How did you know my full name?" I askbr /br /"Oh, don't be a dim-wit, AJ! Our mums are friends! Your birth announcement has been on my fridge for 14 years!" She jokes br /br /"Okay, Scarlett Anebella Jenks!" I mock back and she looks at me with a sideways smile "what, you think your mum is the only one who kept birth announcements on her fridge for far too long?" br /br /"Adoption annoucements, smart one!" She laughs br /br /"Pssh, posh, adoption, birth, no one can tell with you, you look so much like Willow!" I laugh and clear off the box of pizza, socks and an American football off my bed br /br /"I hope you know there's such things as drawers, and shelves and a closet where you can put these things?" She asksbr /br /"You want me to put this three day old masterpiece in my shoe drawer?" I question, br /br /"No, I'm saying put your socks in your socks drawer, that American oddly shaped ball of spray painted pig-skin-" she startsbr /br /"It's cowhide and i don't think it's spray painted..." I introjectbr /br /"Whatever it is. It should be on a shelf. And that 'pizza' should be illegal. In all country. For everyone. How is that not killing your sinus's?" She asksbr /br /I pick up a piece and eat it. I see her cringe and her nose wrinkle up a bit, I laugh "want some?" br /br /"Oh god, no, never!" She nodsbr /br /I finally throw the box away, "please, join me." I sit down on my bed and hear a crunch "well, that's where those Christmas cookies went!" br /br /Scarlett walked over cautiously and smoothed out her spot, then sat down on the bed, criss-crossing her legs as she sits "So, how much French do you actually know? So I can pinpoint where we need to start." br /br /"Well, I know Bonjour, and that goodbye word." I shrugbr /br /"*Au Revior?" She asks br /br /"Ah, yes, that word!" I exclaim br /br /"Anything esle?" br /br /"Not really..." br /br /"My god, AJ! How have you not been failing all year?" She asks, shockedbr /br /"Well, I kinda have been looking off Robert..." I confessbr /br /"On everything?" Her eyes get wider and I nod "well, it makes sense that after you and Robert got in that fight that your grades have been dropping..."br /br /"Yeah..." I agreebr /br /"You know, Kayla isn't worth it. She's just playing the two of you. I mean, I love her, she's one of my best friends, but she really doesn't need to act that way." I replybr /br /"No, your right." He agrees br /br /"Anyways, well, let's start with the basic vowels." She says "U. It's pronounced like a really drawn out ewww, I guess is how to explain it." I nod "now, O. Again it's just like a really drawn out regular O. E, now that sounds like A, Uhhh. I, it sounds like E, eeeee. Y, is now e. like I, but shorter I. e. A is like a short aw, or ah."br /br /"Belle." I say "it means beatiful, doesn't it?" br /br /"Yes, it does! Good job, AJ!" She smilesbr /br /"Like you." I whisper br /br /There was a rush of something in me. And I kissed her. Then there was a creaking at the door. br /br /"Um, Madame was trying to get into here-" Kayla says as she opens the door to let Scarlett's car inside "but it looks like there's something else then French brewing in here, so I'm just gonna go." And with that Kayla was gone and that something in me was too./span/div
