6: mains du diable

MICHELLE POV

I hear something, I don't know what it is but as soon as I do the work the teacher gave us, the sound of footsteps comes to my hearing.

I can't turn my head to the person that decided to sit next to me, I genuinely can't, why? Because first of all everyone hates me, i don't know maybe I'm known as the girl who escaped and it's a rebel or things like that but the fact is that: the only friend I had, used to fuck my brother so yeah, I don't have any friends anymore, I don't have anyone to hang on. Maybe I really should start focusing on school but the only thing I can think about is, what has the future in store for me? Maybe in 30 years the cars will fly or maybe I will fall in love with a prince or a guy that treats me like a princess.
The fact that I do not know, is killing me.
I'm not afraid to follow the things that I love, my ambitions even though I don't have any and that's making me so bored.

<<Your brother doesn't go in this school anymore or...?>> ignore him Michelle, IGNORE HIM. The fact that he sat right beside of me just because he wanted, to make me uncomfortable or to annoy me is so childish. Didn't he learn his lesson?

<<Why? Afraid to be blind?>> his lips curve into a grin and release a little laughter, I'm not afraid of him.
The only thing that's popping on my mind is Laubrac, we were only two stupid teenagers in love with each other. We really thought that escaping with no money was the right thing to do? Maybe it was but...but I ruined it all, again...
Maybe the problem it's me, maybe I should have enjoyed the trips we were making. It was only me and him, only him and I.
Maybe we were too young to know what love was, but we still tried. Now I don't even know where he is.

<<You know that>> I stop him putting one hand right in front of his face.

<<Don't come any closer....I...just don't. I have to finish my work>> I'm ignoring him, I'm ignoring the way he is speaking, the way he is smiling, the way he is just doing whatever he is doing.
<<I'm trying to be cruel to you, so please...don't>> I whisper, his face becomes seriously attractive.

Maybe I'm pushing him away because Laubrac is still in my heart, how can I forget him after he confessed his love on a train directed to Italy. Maybe we were already defeated.
Now everything has changed.
One thing he left me, was a piece of paper inside my clothes, one thing I can't live without.
It was written something like:

I was the ocean
You wanted rivers
I was the moon
You chased the stars
~Alain

We were not the first couple to escape, and I don't regret a thing about what we did.

The teacher enters the class shutting the door.

<<Did you do the work I gave you?>> we as a class nod to her question.

She sits aggressively on her desk and crosses her arms.

<<Michelle Magnan, just to make sure you won't escape even with Descamps, I'll make you read you work, come on>> the anger comes to my body, slowly, filling every inch of it.
Calm down Michelle, calm down.
I nod trying to keep my composure.

<<The history talks about a tough private detective that gets hired to solve a murder case involving a prominent figure in the city.>> I breath slowly as I feel Joseph hand touching slowly my thigh, covered only by the school uniform. I cough trying to not give any suspect to the teacher while I grab his hand violently and move it away <<As he digs deeper, he uncovers a tangled web of political corruption and...intrigue>> I barely say the last word because of his hand that's now touching me accurately, he is now touching my bare skin. <<The detective faces numerous obstacles and dangers as he tries to unravel the truth behind the murder, ultimately leading to a dramatic climax where the city's secrets are...>> I take a deep breath as I touch his hand <<...laid bare.>> I finally say

<<I left you all this time and that's the only thing that you wrote? Are you serious miss Magnan?>> she raises her voice embarrassing me in front of the whole class.

<<I couldn't find the inspiration>> his hand, as soon as I stopped reading in front of the whole class, stopped touching me, but I didn't told him to stop...

<<Probably because you head is full of boys, you're even sat beside one of them>>
Respect goes both ways, I don't care if she's my teacher.

<<First of all he decided to sit beside me, second I tried to do this work but like most of you know, I escaped home, I did it for love and I didn't have the material time to read the book she gave us because I didn't even know I would have came back and third, I'm not trying to be disrespectful but I'm a person too, she is my teacher but respect goes both ways, if I want respect by you I have to earn it, but same goes for you. And no, I won't escape with Descamps, I think you forgot my brother beated him up making him half blind so no, I won't fall in love with him, I promise>> I free myself with this monologue I was keeping since everyone is against me.

<<You and your sassy attitude, go to the principal, I hope he can make you learn to be a woman>> a woman? The only thing you're not?

<<Im sorry but she's kinda right>> is Descamps that's talking, with a pen that's rolling in his finger and a little grin that forming on his lip.

<<What are you saying? That as an adult I am wrong?>>

<<No, but respectfully as an adult you should be the first learning us what's the respect>> oh please Joseph, shut you mouth.

Her face becomes red for the anger, everyone is looking at us like we though about everything, but the one thing I didn't expect was the:

<<Fine, then you both need to go to the principal, have fun learning him what the real respect is>>
What? Again? With him?
I don't need his...company.

I get off my desk as fast as I can but I feel his figure following me out of the class.

How was this chapter? I know it's a bit short but in a few hours maybe 2 or 3 I'll post the chapter 7 to apologize 1 for the lateness and 2 because this chapter is so short.

Love you and thanks to everyone for the support. I'll start posting every two weeks or even every week I promise ❤️❤️❤️
