Oh God, how I hate him | JOSEPH DESCAMPS

17- Put Your Head On My Shoulder

"Put Your Head On My Shoulder..."

The next morning I needed a huge reset, as I sat scrubbing at myself in the shower I couldn't help but snicker- thinking back to Vergoux tumbling down the hill. Now that I think of it, Vergoux is actually quite funny despite not being really known. As I laugh to myself stepping out in my baby pink towel, I hear the phone ring. Walking over to my vanity, I pick it up.

"Hello, this is Enikő." My tone comes out polite(my telephone voice)

"Hey Enikő, uh it's me Felbec and I was wondering if you'd like to go out to a cafe with me?" Felbec's voice came out slightly stuttered on the other line.

Looking out my window, realising this is a lovely day, I nod as if Felbec could even see me.

"Of course, where and when should I meet you?"

"2:30 at the park, is that okay?"

Looking at my clock which read 1pm exactly, I had enough time to get ready so I agreed.

"Yep, see you there! Bye, I have to get ready!"

"See you." Felbec's reply comes quick as the call ends.

Sitting up as I look into my mirror, I decide on a red headband, and I'll curl my hair slightly. After finishing my hair and placing the headband on neatly, I look in the direction of my closet, realising I still need an outfit. Scouring through my racks, I find a perfect red and white gingham print dress. Getting into it, I stand in front of the mirror, smiling. Suddenly the phone rings just as I sit down to do my makeup. Who is it now?
Reluctantly picking up with a sigh, I put on my fake voice.

"Hi! It's Enikő speaking!" My tone comes out really over the top this time, I grimace to myself.

"No need to fake. It's me, Descamps. Just wanted to ask, would you want to come to me in the morning? Like just wait outside of school with me, Dupin and Vergoux. You can walk with Annick after." Joseph's tone comes out a bit rushed, as if he was hesitant.

"Yeah, sure. I'll give you a copy of that picture too." My eyes trail off to the picture of me and Joseph asleep that I had on my table. "Oh and I definitely need cigarettes, because God knows what stories Vergoux will have." I laugh a bit, thinking back on my memories this school year.

"Okay, see you." Suddenly I hear a voice in the background. "Hey! What do you mean God knows what stories I'll have!" Vergoux.

"She's got a point, you literally have the most crazy things happen to you bro." Dupin's voice now chimes in.

Feeling my head reel with all their voices I just chuckle.

"Okay, bye." With that the call ends, finally getting to do my makeup, I finish it quite easily. The clock now reads 2:10pm, okay, time to go.

Heading downstairs, my feet bash at the staircase.

"Holy fuck you'd think we have an elephant in the house!" My mother begins a rant, until she turns around. "Oh my god, where are you going! You're like a doll!" She exclaims.

Fixing my white purse on my body I smile at her words.

"Felbec invited me out to a cafe."

"Now who is Felbec?" My dad cuts in, "Here I was wondering how to deal with that pirate boy-"

"Descamps, dad. His name is Joseph Descamps." I roll my eyes tired with my dad's words.

"I don't give a fuck if his name is Ferenc Puskás." I give my dad a weird look in return.

"When did he get involved?" My mother tilts her head also confused like me.

"I- you get my point! Too much boys for me." My dad sighs exasperated.
