That french girl in the bar

Toby's PoV

You know when how sometimes you feel like every bad thing that could ever happen in a lifetime happens to you on the same week ? Well, this is one of those weeks for me.
To make a quick resume, my current girlfriend has been cheating on me with my (ex) best friend which i discovered on Monday as i came back from work. Then, my sister had a heart attack on Wednesday but she hopefully made it.
After that, i almost got kicked out of my apartment because i was late on the rent and they cut electricity.

So yeah, pretty crappy week for Toby Cavanaugh but, fortunately, i still have my job.
I got my teacher licence a year ago and I've teaching french ever since.
I have a very good relationship with my students (not in an Ezra way) and that's why i love working at this school. When i was younger, I've always wanted to find an interesting teacher and i feel like i can be that person for these kids.
But unfortunately, it doesn't pay well at all so i have to take a night job which leaves me coming back at 10 every week day.

Even though i was about to get kicked of my apartment, i just needed a night off so I called the diner i'm working in to tell them i'll be skipping tonight and went outside to catch the last bus.
It was Friday night and i needed a drink, i really did.
I jumped into the first bar in town and sat in front of the barman.

" A beer please " i asked

He gave me one and i started drinking while observing people.
Around 10 minutes later, a girl walked in. A few people were around her but she nicely told them to leave her alone.
I sighted and got back my beer until she was empty.

"That'll be 25" the barman announced me.

Shit, i forgot things were expensive in the city. And to top that, i forgot my wallet.
I still searched in my jeans and jacket if i had some money left but nothing.
The girl who walked in a few minutes ago looked at me and approached the barman with a 50.

" Alex, why don't you give me and my friend another beer "

" No problem Spence " he said as he gave me another drink.

I looked at the girl, confused.
" Thank you *i laughed* i was about to run out of the bar because i couldn't manage to find three dollars "

" Oh it's no problem, I've been wanting to find an excuse to talk to you ever since i walked in "

" Oh really *i blushed* and why is that ? "

" Well, first of all let's not lie you're cute. And second of all you're the only one who just considered me as a normal human tonight "

" Why wouldn't I consider you as normal ? I mean, it's not like we knew each other or anything "

Now she was the one with the confused look

" What ? " i asked with a shy smile

" Hum nothing. You really don't recognize me do you ? "

" Should I ? " i laughed

" People could say that yes, but let's move on. Why is a guy like you drinking alone at a bar on a Friday night ? I've never seen you before in here"

As she spoke, i couldn't help but notice her french accent. It was kind of cute i gotta say.
When i think about it, her accent wasn't the only cute thing about that girl. She wasn't very tall, beautiful brown hair with chocolate eyes to die for and a angelic smile.
