Silver Soul

Pass The Salt

One..Two....Three...
SMILE!!!!!

All four teenagers smiled at the same time the boys moving there broad shoulders back and the two girls standing up straight. Blanchet sibling on the left and the Magnans on the right.

"Oh they look wonderful,don't they" Mrs.Magnan cried out
"Yes I agree they look like grown adults" both men agreed.
"Did you hear about the man that works at the cemetery he got arrested" both fathers started to rang to each other ignoring the miserable teenagers

"Jesus Christ can't we just eat dinner and get this over with" Sebastian said,he was getting frustrated with his overly tight tie.
"Relax it'll be fine we just need to ignore them that's what I do in these situations. Jean Pierre slapped Sebastian's hand out of the way and fixed his tie for him.

"He sounds like a joy,I rather have Jean Pierre ignore me" Michele says looking back at my brother clearly surprised by his actions
I didn't say much I just gave her a smile, I wasn't in the mood either after Descamps blow out my mood switched I can't explain it. I just could care less about this dinner now.

Dinner is ready Mr. Blanchet
Both boys that were behind us ran to the table shoving both me and Michele to the side. The adults walked into the dining room. Mrs.Magnan pulled Michele towards her whispering something in her ear. Michele looking at her mother with a pleading look,it seemed like they were arguing through facial expressions. Finally the young girl gave in and nodded.

Jean Pierre was setting next to Sebastian then Mr.Magnan came over and whispered to Jean Pierre.He nodded and cleared his throat and got up politely and sat across of my brother next to me. Sebastian looked at us and frowned,and rolling his eyes. Michele sat next to my brother awkwardly smiling at him.

The maids started to serve us.
"So how's the project going"
I looked at Jean Pierre with an annoyed look
"It's going great,other then the fact that I'll probably have to do everything myself"
"What did you expect Descamps grades are barely average"he laughed
"Sometimes I feel like Giraud does things on purpose she's such a.....bitch" I said quietly hoping nobody heard. I heard a little chuckle coming from the green eyed boy. We held eye contact for a little making me look away after I felt my cheeks burning.

"Shall we pray" Ethel said
We haven't prayed ever since mom passed,we actually stopped going to church for a year.
"Yes we should" my father agreed I was surprised I guess we're moving on now
I sighed in frustration and reached out for Jean Pierre's left hand and held his father's right hand. As Ethel started talking I felt a foot kicking my right ankle. I looked to my right seeing Jean Pierre already looking at me and smiling. I smiled back.

"And please look out for our beautiful children this year"

We both looked at each other we held in our laughter. And Jean Pierre just rolls his eyes at his mother's ridiculous prayer. I crossed my eyes trying to make him laugh. He just closed his eyes shaking his head trying to hide his smile.

"Amen"
"Amen"
"Aaaaaamen" I said
You're going to get me in trouble. Jean Pierre whispered to me.

"Are we going to see you at church tomorrow Anne" Hugo asked me out of nowhere
"I'm not sure— I was interrupted by my father
"We haven't gone to church in over a year ever since Joan's passing"
The room fell silent. Silverware was dropped and out of nowhere we started to hear chocking across the table. My eyes fell on my brother coughing his face turning red. Michele quickly tapped his back and held a glass of water in front of his face.

"Jesus he's dying" I yelled
Jean Pierre got up fast moving the dinner table,he ran to Sebastian. What he didn't know was that his watch got cut on the cloth and took the entire dinner with him. He stopped and looked at the hanging cloth on his rests. But what shocked him even more was when he noticed that I was covered in mash potatoes,water,wine the whole table was on me.
