If you were a teacher, I would fail your class
Take it over and over 'til you noticed me
If you were a waiting room, I would never see a doctor
I would sit there with my first-aid kit and bleed𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎, 𝒑𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒃𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔
I cleared my throat. "Bonjour, c'est Élodie." I waved at the camera. "So, here we are with one of those big boys."
I reached over and picked up the trophy sitting next to me, holding it up for the camera to see.
"Qatar Total Open Singles Champion," I read the engraved title aloud. "It's been a minute, huh? Feels pretty good on my hands."
I turned the trophy slightly, letting the camera catch the light reflecting off its surface.
"Feels pretty good," I repeated, nodding slightly before setting it back down. "So, this is my first video. Nothing like kicking off well," I smiled. "I'm flying right now, see?"
I grabbed the camera and pointed it out the window, showing the jet soaring above the water. Then, I panned to my iPad screen, which was displaying the route. "We're currently over the Mediterranean Sea. There it goes... we just crossed Greece."
I turned the camera to Jean-Luc, who was passed out, mouth open, drooling on his shirt.
"This is Jean-Luc," I whispered. "He's, uh... working on strategies, as you can see. Gotta respect the guy."
I stifled a laugh and turned the camera back to me. Right on time, Gabrielle got out from the bath stall, towel draped around her shoulders, and sat right in front of me.
"This is Gabi. Dis bonjour, Gabi."
Gabrielle leaned forward, peeking at the camera. "Que fais-tu?" she asked, reaching for the iPad that was propped up on the other seat.
"Enregistrer une vidéo," I replied, lowering my camera slightly. "Pour ma page YouTube. Now, en anglais, s'il te plaît."
"Alright, alright. Just a moment," she said, clearing her throat and smoothing down her towel. "Hello everyone. I'm Gabrielle, and I'm part of Élodie's Marketing Team."
"She's the one commenting standing guy emojis on your posts."
"Hey! You tell me to comment them!" She exclaimed. "Show them your impression of the standing guy."
I turned the camera back to me, "in case you are not aware, I'm actually the best standing guy emoji impressionist in Europe. I'm gonna teach you now." I handed the camera to Gabi, "are you recording?"
"Oui."
"Alright so it goes like this," I got up and stood still for a solid twenty seconds. "There you have it. Please, compliment me."
