I walk into class early as usual but something is different. Another girl is before me talking to the teacher. I have no idea who she is.
"Ah. Willow. I wanted to search for you." Mr Smith says.
"This is Rachelle. She's from France and will be joining us for four months." Mr Smith continues as I'm still confused.
I snap out of my thoughts. "Hi Rachelle. I'm Willow."
"Bonjour Willow." Rachelle says in a France accent.
"Willow. You'll help Rachelle around today since she'll be joining your class."
"Okay. I can do that."
At lunch Elijah comes up to me as soon as he sees Rachelle with me.
"Hey Willow. Who's that?" Elijah says being more intrested in Rachelle then in me.
"This is Rachelle. She's from France and she'll be in my class for four months."
"Ah. Bonjour ma dame (my lady)."
Rachelle giggles. "Bonjour mon homme (my man)."
I just stand there smiling a bit not understanding a word of France.
"Es-tu célibataire? (Are you single?)" Elijah asks Rachelle.
"Oui, et vous? (Yes, what about you?)" Rachelle asks.
"Oui. (Yes.)" Elijah answers. It was a lie since he's my boyfriend but I have no idea what they're saying at all.
"Vous voulez aller chez moi après l'école? (Wanna go to my place after school?)" Elijah asks.
"Oui. (Yes.)" Rachelle answers.
"So... Uhmm... Rachelle. Shall we go? We have English upstairs." I say.
"Sure."Rachelle answers in her France accent.
"Cute accent." Elijah say before Rachelle and I leave.
The rest of the day Rachelle talks about Elijah. I play a happy scene for her but inside my heart is breaking in a million pieces just because a stupid exchange. Damn it. I've never had a boyfriend before and he's probably going to cheat on me with a girl he talked to for 10 minutes maybe. Maybe not even 10.
When I'm home that evening I watch sad TikToks. My brother Jay is annoying me like usual. Meanwhile I send Elijah a text.
,,Hey babe. I miss you. Wanna hang out?,,
,,Sorry princess. I'm with Rachelle. I'm showing her a bit of the town and we're getting some ice cream.,,
,,Oh, okay. Have fun!,,
,,Thanks baby.,,
,,I love you.,,
,,Love you too,,
I go on my phone for the rest of that afternoon being a bit sad but I get myself over it.
