Death of Pygmalion

2. 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐕𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐥 ✾

Тhe first day of college went smoothly. After Paulette showed him every nook and cranny, even her favorite hiding place. Elio examined the place once more, by himself, catching the eyes of the girls, younger and older. He felt a little awkward, but soon he finally managed to orientate himself without a problem.

Now the boy was holding piles of books and a notebook and a sheet at the top. His first class was English literature. How much fun. As a man almost raised around the books and libraries, he knew every author almost perfectly. And now he has to study it again. How boring!

When he entered the room, the brunette boy immediately noticed how small it was. There were several two-person desks, a blackboard and the teacher's desk. Elio saw Paulette talking to a few boys. He joined them in the conversation.

"Oh hello, El. These are my maids Vance Cooper and Alastair Hudson. ”Paulette pointed to the two boys. The first was tall, with dark hair and light eyes, and the other, shorter, with dark hair, dark eyes, and wearing spectacles whose frames were almost circular. The three shook hands with each other and began asking the boy.

" I have some news, ladies and gentlemen, I heard that...." A girl with red hair popped out of nowhere on the front, ready to announce an exciting news when a brunette boy caught her attention. "Well, well, well. Look at you, the new boy from France. Elio, right. I'll call you Voltaire. What leads you to our modest school?" The girl came closer to the small group. Her voice was distinct and, perhaps, seductive.
“Fuck off, Scarlett.” Paulette growled at her and lean on her chair.
" Calm down, Lucrezia Borgia. I won't take your last victim"

Suddenly, someone called out a name. Everyone immediately settled into their seats when a woman came into the room, rushing and quiet like a cat, and Scarlett immediately flew out, sending an air kiss to the class.

"Good morning, class."
“Good morning, Mrs.Vogel.” The whole class called out and fell silent.
"I see we have a new student in the class. I'm Irene Vogel and as you already know, I teach English literature, both British and American.”The woman reached her hand out when she saw her new student.

" Please to meet you, ma'am. I'm Elio Neri. ”The boy stood up and shook hands with the woman. He was amazed by the beauty of his teacher. She was not surprised that he was taller than her as many of her students were taller.

"I hope you enjoy my classes and attend them regularly, unlike some of my students. I am looking at you Mr. Cooper." all the students laughed.
"I love you too, Mrs." His expression was like a man, whose heart was just now broken and the whole class laughed.

“Elio, stay for a moment.” Mrs Vogel ordered Elio. The boy and Paulette looked at each other. Ménard told him she would be waiting for him outside and left. Elio was alone with the woman. He noticed  how beautiful his teacher was without her glasses on. She had something aristocratic. Her voice was melodic, somewhat seductive and slightly deep. Her lips curved into a slight smile forming a light wrinkle at the end of her mouth.

"Sit down, Elio. Tell me a little bit about yourself. I like to get to know my new students. Get to know their characters."she explained and smiled at him, pointing at the front desk. She had crossed her legs and was looking at the boy.
“It probably took you a whole day when the whole class was new.” said Elio, making his teacher laugh.
                            ◆ ◇ ◆
“Well, what happened?” Paulette asked. She was with Vance Cooper and Alastair Hudson, outside in the hall.
"Nothing special. We just chatted. That's it, ”Elio replied as he walked to his room.
"What did you talk about so much that it took you so long. She must have slipped under your skin already, hasn't she ”Vance smirked. Paulette hit him with her elbow in his belly.
“Quiet, Vance.” Alastair hit him on the head.
"I'll tell you after that class." Elio told them as he locked his room and the four of them headed to Latin.
