Chapter 14 - Blanche Beaumont.

A few days later, when we arrived on Monday, I got out of bed early, got ready and took breakfast. Although not show Marcus was also restless and if it was a school for girls, I'm sure he would like to study there, or rather spy on me.

So Grandma and I went to the Blanche Institute Beaumont, all the anxiety and the nervousness he felt came to light, was not only worse, because at least knew that Tess would be there.

As we entered I could not help but be entranced by the beauty of the place, the scene drew attention by lush nature and its imposing buildings. Blanche Beaumont was not only a traditionalist private school for girls, she covered excellence with two of the three levels of the French education: College (corresponding to four years of elementary school) and the Liceu (similar to high school). We also had classes full time, except on Wednesdays when we were studying part-time.

All around the institution and gave fascinated the imagination wings. The property consisted of a gigantic and magnificent centenary building that housed: the board, the classrooms, the kitchen, the dining room and a small theater for musical and theatrical performances. In the second building on the right was the library. There was still a third block which was located a covered gym, we used regularly in physical education classes.

We were received are by Céline Ménard, responsible for overseeing the school, which seemed evident, considering his stance. She showed us the place that had lots of trees, flowers, a beautiful fountain, many banks around outdoor and soccer field where he practiced some activities. The most popular sports among girls, she said, was the handball, football and swimming.

At the end of the tour, the Beaumont Heloise director Girard, owner and granddaughter of the founders of the college, presented readily highlighting:

_ It is a pleasure to meet them. I enjoyed the transcript of her granddaughter, she has great results. I hope you continue to maintain or even improve this level here, Sophia!

As I was in a hurry, just being rude to interrupt her and ask,

_ If there is no objection, I could go to my room?

_ Sophia? We are talking!

_ All right, she's just anxious! You will soon know your class.

If I had to make a list, the exams would certainly be my least concern. Well, almost half an hour after getting the expectation was directed to my future room, I went in and there was Tess who drafted one of his rare smiles when he saw me. Even though she was a year older in relation to me, we would study in the same class, since I was early. The director introduced me to a history teacher, Miss Jeanne and my colleagues. So I sat close to Tess, since there was an empty wallet in the front row of the corner right next to it; what made me breathe relieved.

Everything was relatively new to me, the atmosphere was totally different from ballet and my last school. The girls seemed to be more united and welcoming. So we went to the break, Tess introduced me without many formalities to Christina and Ariane, the colleagues who had more affinity.

After the cumprimentarmos, they welcomed me in different ways. Christina be demonstrated spontaneous and humorous. If she were around, it was impossible not to be noticed; to meet me was kind and helpful. While Ariane proved a bit more closed, I had to earn their trust over the days. What really drew my attention on his face was the rebel girl style she let on.

In our next lesson, the grammar teacher conducted a dynamic so that all could get to know better. I must say it was fun, we went to the garden and made a circle where we played a ball. Who threw the ball could accomplish a question for those who received it. Being one of the few newcomers to the class, most of the questions were made for me. Good thing were simple things like my age, where I studied before and what I liked to do in my spare time; anything to let me uncomfortable.

It was a matter of minutes to realize that Victoria, our teacher of grammar, uses varied and unconventional teaching methods so that all could interact. As she liked to diversify the class, their routine activities fleeing, always with the goal of enriching the vocabulary and strengthen our relationship.

As the days passed, I realized that one of the slogans of Blanche Beaumont was clearly practiced, "treat their partners with respect and friendliness."

Following the example of my registration, Grandma decided to put Marcus in a new school, so it also conviveria with other kids his age. My brother was not happy with the idea, but it was inevitable. Over time, I saw some enthusiasm on your part, since he had a friend named Liam.

The hobby of them was playing football every Tuesday and Friday in the afternoon, after school. And the two also went to various training along with Sebastian, Liam's brother. As they showed dedication, the coach invited them to join the team and even being a year younger than the rest of the boys, Sebastian proved to be the most skilled.
