Finally I made it to class without embarrassing myself ,I was quite excited to learn actually back at my old school I was top of my class every year so hopefully this year won't be as different. I sat in the back row of the class next to a curly brown hair boy. He looked nice out of every boy here other then Pichón,he smiled at me.
"Hello may I set here"I asked the skinny boy
"Yes of course"he replied
"I'm Laubrac"
"It's nice to meet you,I'm Anne Boleyn"he just nodded and moved some of his school supplies out of the way so I could have space for my belongings. Before I could start a conversation with him a pretty blonde girl walked in and sat next to Pichón. He looked nervous and his cheeks were red again just like earlier.

"Pichón looks like he's about to shit himself"the pretty boy commented. This boy is starting to get on my nerves.

The teacher arrived and looked at my direction and the blonde too. "You and you girl in the back stand up and introduce yourself" spatted the teacher. I looked at Laubrac  confused he just gave me a sympathetic look.

I stood up before the blonde girl.
"So who's going to go first or do I have to pick"
I looked at the blonde girl we both had dumbfound faces. And all we hear is giggles all around us.
madame my name is Anne Boleyn—
"Does this Anne Boleyn have a last name" this teacher knew exactly who I was and she was trying to humiliate me. But I won't let her have the satisfaction.
"I'm Anne Boleyn Blanchet,I just moved back from America I was a straight A student,I was and will be the top student of the class. I know French,English,and Spanish from my mother's side of the family.
The whole classroom went silent you can hear a pin drop. The teacher raised an eyebrow at me and looked at me up and down.
"Alright then,you may set down Miss top of the class."
I sat down without breaking eye contact with Miss Giraud. She went on with the blonde girl that was named Annick. I didn't pay much attention to her speech because of a boy that was starring right at me. I look to met left It was the boy from last night, my heart dropped I could feel my cheeks getting hot. I wanted to look away but something about his eyes was drawing me in. The gaze broke between us from the help of Miss Giraud

"Mr.Descamps do you have something to say to Miss Blanchet"?
The room went quite,he had a panicked look on his pretty face
"No madame I apologize for the disruption"the boy replied
So that's his name Descamps.

The class went on but you can obviously tell the rivalry between me Annick and another boy. The boy was tiny and his face looked much younger than the rest of the boys in the class. I notice the glances he would give me and every time I would smile at him.

"Alright class I'll be back for a second Feblic keep an eye out please" As Miss Giraud left the room I pocked the boys shoulder.
"Hey" I smiled at him
"Hi"? He said confused
"You're really smart you know"
"Thank you,so is your family really the Blanchets"? He asked
My smile faded he realized what he said made her uncomfortable.
"I didn't mean it like that it's just your family's really rich and you're from America so I just wanted to know—— sorry ill just be quite"he turns back around to his work. I felt bad I didn't mean to make him anxious. So to re ensure him I pocked him again. He turned with a sorry look.
I just smiled at him and he smiled back.
"this doesn't mean that I'll let you be top of the class, that's my spot"he said in a serious tone. I was a little taken back,but I took that as a challenge.

The next class we had was Latin not my strongest subject but I would never let anyone see my weaknesses. Just like history class I sat with Laubrac  he was quiet and didn't make much conversation with me. Annick and I tried to get the Latin teacher attention but no success.
"Who can translate this sentence for me,now this is a little advanced for this grade but just try it out".

(Amor non oculis, sed mente aspicit; et ideo alatus Cupido caecos pingit.)

Annick,Feblec and I started to write down the sentences in our notebook fast and the whole class even the teacher was amused by the silent competition all three of us were having.
"It's Shakespeare" I whisper to myself but I was loud enough for Laubrac  to hear.
"How do you even know that" he questioned me
"Shush im trying to think" I said and all I heard back from him was a little laugh.
