I know that the grade system is different in France than it is in the US but bare with me.

Also thank you _tofuu for being the only person who actually reads this. Seriously you're amazing and ily

Third Person POV

After they finished the tour, Theodosia showed Georges and Marie the lunchroom, where every other junior was.

"Here lemme introduce you to my friends" Theo said walking into the lunchroom. The Lafayettes followed Theodosia until she stopped in front of a table.

Eleanor looked up and saw her second cousins (or something like that). She gasped. "Oh my god. Marie and Georges!" She ran up and hugged them. "It's been so long I've missed you two!"

"Ella we've missed you too!" Marie exclaimed, hugging the girl.

"Comment avez-vous été?" Georges asked Ella.

"Je vais bien, comment allez-vous tous les deux?" Ella responded.

"Nous sommes bons... je pense" Marie answered.

Theodosia interrupted before they could continue. "Alright, enough French. I haven't done enough of my homework for this" They all laughed.

"Are you still a genius Ele?" Georges teased.

"Still in the same grade as you guys, aren't I?" Ella sassed.

"Wait are you two twins?" Theodosia asked.

"Yep!" Georges and Marie said together.

"She's just short" Georges said pointing to Marie.

"Hey! It's not my fault you got dad's genes. Besides I'm the same height as Ella" Marie argued.

"I don't know Ria, it's been a while. We should check." Georges reasoned.

The girls stood back to back and Theodosia measured them. "Ella's like an inch taller."

"Yes I'm finally taller than one of you guys!" Ella cheered.

————————————————————

Marie followed Ella into science, Ella was just excited to finally have someone she liked in science class.

Half way through the boring lesson, that was mostly review, Ella found herself staring at a curly haired boy.

*pretend this whole conversation is in French pls. I'm too lazy to google translate all of it*

"Why are you staring at that kid?" Marie asked.

Ella snapped out of her trance and looked at Marie. "What kid? I was looking at the board"

Marie raised her eyebrow. "It doesn't look like it"

"Well he was in my way of looking at the board"

"Ella he's sitting in our row, across the room. That doesn't make sense."

"You don't make sense"

"No I don't, but besides the point. You're starting at him because like him, aren't you"

Ellas eyes widened. "What? No! I'm just staring at him hopping I finally get laser eyes and can burn him to death"

Marie smirked. "Ah the classic enemies to lovers stage of denial. Although most likely he's kissed you and you don't know how you feel about it. I've read enough fanfic to know that"

Ella stared at Marie like she was crazy. I mean she did think she was crazy because she actually recalled that perfectly, but it also was because she had mentioned Ella and Philip kissing. "No! What are you talking about? I would never kiss Philip!"

Marie looked at Ella sitting in the desk nest to her. "Based on you flushed cheeks, I think you would"

Ella's cheeks got slightly darker. "No I'm just flustered"

"Any other person, I would believe it, but I know you don't get flustered."

"Damn it" Ella muttered.

Marie decided to watch Ella, as she stared at Philip again without realizing. Philip saw Ella and winked at her. Ella's entire face turned red and she buried her head in her hands. Philip smiled, he was not expecting that reaction.

'Maybe she does like me' Philip thought. 'Come on Philip, don't be ridiculous'

Ella and Philip ended up staring at each other instead of paying attention to class. Ella tried to stay focused, but that stupid kiss kept replaying in her mind. It was like her body was forcing her to think of Philip, to pay attention to him.

Philip on the other hand, just kept looking at Ella because he thought she was pretty. And none of his friends, his fans, or Ella's friends were in that class so he could do it without a care.

Mr. Harold smacked his plastic pointer on the whiteboard. The loud noise made all the students sit up straighter and look at him. "Mr. Hamilton and Miss Jefferson. Is there a reason you two weren't looking at the board?"

Ella felt embarrassed for being called out like that. She had never liked getting in trouble.

"Nope" Philip said, leaning back in his chair.

"Then pay attention" Mr. Harold gave Philip a look. It was obvious he didn't like him very much. "Alright, since you guys did so good on the last group project, I'm giving you a small one to do with the same partners." There was a mutual groan of displeasure throughout the classroom. "Or we could write an essay" Everyone shut up immediately. "Miss Lafayette you may work with Tyler, his partner will not be here." Mr. Harold said to Marie.

Marie nodded and looked at Ella. "Just so you know they use they/them pronouns, but Mr. Harold refuses to use them. They're also SUPER annoying. And kinda stupid." Ella whispered to Marie.

"Oh ok" Marie said laughing slightly inside her head.

———————————————————

Ella saw Philip while they were walking out the school building. "Philip!" She yelled running over to him.

Philip turned around, confused. He saw Ella and grinned.

"What's making you grin like that?" William asked, looking around trying to find it. He saw Ella and smirked. He nudged Philip. "Oh it's Eleanor~"

Philip turned into a blushing mess, trying to cool it when Ella walked over.

"Hey Will" Ella said waving to him as she made it to the boys.

"Hey Ella" He said, still smirking.

"What's up Ella?" Philip asked, regaining his confidence.

"Where are we working on the project?" Ella asked.

"We probably don't want to work on it at my house because the boys won't let us get anything done." Philip pointed out.

"True... but we can't do it at my house for cause... you know..."

"Yeah..."

"Wait you guys are doing the science project too? Me and my partner are going to the park to work on our and you two can come" William said.

"Who's your partner?" Ella asked.

"My partner for the last project moved so I have the new French kid. I have no clue where he is right now though"

"Oh it's Georges. I'm cool with that if you are" Ella said.

"It's fine with me" Philip shrugged.

"Wow you two being civil. It's amazing" William smirked. Ella glared at him. "Anyway we just need to find Georges"

"I'll get him" Ella walked off.
