Eiffel for You ❣️

^Wednesday, February 4
"Mary, aren't you so excited for Eiffel Tower!!"
"Mads I already told you that I am excited for the Eiffel Tower so can you please stop asking me if I'm excited."
"Okay then."
I went on the elevator and waited with some strangers I did not know. I took a seat at one of the lobby chairs and thought to myself. 'Why in the world is Mary acting like that, I was supposed to be my friend.'
"Mrs. Peters, can I talk to you?"
"Of course darling, what's the problem?"
"Ever since we arrived to Paris, Mary has been a bit of, what's the word, uh snob."
"Mary Quinn Jacobs, she's a sweetheart."
"No, Mrs. Peters you don't get it, every single time I try to talk, she tries to make it into an argument."
"Well darling maybe she is going through her period causing her to have mood swings."
"I don't think so she didn't pack any pads."
"How do you know that?"
"Whenever she's on her period, she asks me for a pad sooo."
"Oh that must be great." *looks down*
"Can you please let Mary and I not be partners as we go to Eiffel Tower?"
"Uhh I don't think so...."
"Why not? Is Mary your favorite student!?"
"No I don't have favorites, I love every single one of you. It's just that she is my niece and the reason she's at this school is because I'm her auntie and I need to take care of her."
"That must be rough.."
"Well.... sometimes she can be bratty...."
"Wow! She's not just like that with me."
"She has issues with life and stuff.
"Why does she have to take it out on me??"
"I don't know darling. *pauses and sees her niece* Yes Madeline you took some great pictures!" *low key smiles*
Mads: Thank you so much Mrs.Peters
Mary: What were you guys talking about? Wait was it me because I am a great topic to talk about.
"Yeah we were definitely talking about how great you are." *coughs*
"I know right I am great."
"So photography class *interrupts Mads and Mary* you guys are all going to be solo for your viewing of the Eiffel Tower."
"What no partners?" says the class.
"I want to see what you can accomplish on your own."
"Mrs. Peters is right, we need to be independent." *nods head to Mrs. Peters*
"You guys can't go all at the same time, so sign up with the time you can see it."
The class rushes to the clipboard and they write in the time they want to go see it.
(4 hours later)
Walks along the des rues of Paris and she hears her alarm who was at 2:00 pm. She arrives at the Eiffel Tower and is standing right under it and stays in one place while looking around.
"Wow the Eiffel Tower is so beautiful!"
"Wait, what are these petals doing on the floor?"
"Dude this place is sick!" says the boy.
Both look down at the floor seeing the petals and slowly move their head up.
"Hi! My name is Sam and apparently we are standing in an area where there is rose petals on the floor."
"Uhhh hi.... my name is Madeline and I feel very awkward right now."
"Same here, but you're kind of cute so I don't mind being next to you." *winks*
"You're kinda cute too, I mean I should probably take pictures right now."
"Wait.... before you do that, I want to sing a song to you."
"No you really don't need too, I should get going."
"No please let me sing to you?!"
"Fine whatever."
'Sam starts singing Call me Maybe and Madeline joins in'
"Wow! You're a good singer and you're pretty as well. You're like the perfect girl also you're nice."
"Aww thanks *blushes*, but I need to take pictures for my class, so bye."
"Why can't I come with you?"
"Sam or whatever your name is, I need to do this on my own!"
"Bye. I guess *stands there for a second* Wait Madeline!!! Here's my number, call me sometime or I'll call you 😉."
"Bye Sam."
"Bye Madeline, see you later."
Mads walks into the Eiffel Tower after 30 minutes of being under the Tower with Sam. She thinks to herself, 'Why I am feeling this way? I can't fall in love or can I?'
She takes pictures of and inside the Eiffel Tower. She then takes out Sam's phone number and takes a picture of it with the Eiffel Tower as the background. It is then 3:00 pm and it's Mary's turn so she leaves immediately so she can avoid her. She walks on the des rues of Paris and takes a seat at a random bench.
"Hello there!" says the strange man with the newspaper in front of his face.
"Uhh hi..."
"I know you know me." says the stranger.
"I have no idea?"
The man uncovers the newspaper and there it is Sam, the guy she met under he tower.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Why are you here sitting on a bench in the middle of the streets instead of exploring this beautiful place."
"Remember when I said 'see you later', I really meant it."
"So you waited on this bench doing completely nothing or "reading your newspaper" for 30 minutes until I was done taking pictures."
"That's about right!"
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because I like you."
"We just met an hour ago that doesn't mean love."
"I'm confused as well, but I know I like you."
"You can't like me, I'm not the popular girl and social person you'd think I am."
"Do you really think I care about popularity and socialization? In this past hour, you didn't really ignore me, you just talked to me instead of not talk to me like an antisocial person."
"Well...."
"See.. Ok so tomorrow we are hanging out and we are going to be social and talk to each other."
"Okay fine."
I go to the hotel smiling with glee and go to bed awaiting tomorrow even though I shouldn't be excited.
