The High School Experience {A Gidgette Story}

Chapter Three: An Awkward Encounter

2:05 P.M.  Ottawa, Canada

Bridgette's POV
        I was walking to the AP French classroom with Zoey. As we walked into the classroom and over to our spots from yesterday, Noah and Duncan were already there. Soon everyone started arriving and I looked over at Zoey, as Geoff walked in with the other popular people.

  "Should I try and talk to him before Gwen comes back?" I asked and Zoey smiled while nodding.

"I say go for it, just not when the others are around him...they'll eat you alive." Zoey said and I nodded.

"What do you guys think?" I asked looking at Noah and Duncan.

They both just glanced at each other and then looked at me. Neither of them said a word and Zoey put her hand on my shoulder and looked at me.

"They're guys, they can't help you." Zoey said and I nodded.

The teacher started doing roll for his AP class and when he said Gwen's name. Everyone just looked around and he continued the roll call. Once he did that he moved onto our class. Once he finished, the door opened and some rich man walked in. Everyone and I mean everyone, stopped talking when he walked inside. Part of me actually started to believe Tiffany, as this man looked like a mobster, or what I think one looks like. I looked over at Zoey, who looked very uncomfortable. The teacher looked at him, as the man just stood there. The teacher quickly got up and the two of them walked out of the room and shut the door.

"Is that the leader of the French Mob that's around here?" I asked Zoey and she looked at me.

She glanced at Duncan and Noah and they just looked at her and she looked back at me.

"Yeah and he's terrifying. Word of advice, if he ever talks to you treat him with the most respect you have." Zoey said and I nodded.

       The door opened and Gwen walked in. She had a note in her hand and then saw the teacher missing. She looked around and then just put it down. I saw her look at us and then walked to the front desk and sat on top of it. The AP students all looked at her.

"Where's Professeur Brisson?" She asked and

"Alec Rousseau came in here and took him away. I wouldn't be surprised if we all found another decapitated dead body in the woods tonight, he look pissed." A guy said.

Gwen laughed a bit, and then put her head back. She talked with the AP kids, and I looked over at Zoey and she was talking with Duncan and Noah. I watched Geoff get up and walk away from his group, he started sharpening a pencil right next to Gwen. They both looked at each other and then at his group friends, the two of them started whispering. I shook Zoey's arm and she saw the two of them talking and smiled. I looked at Duncan and Noah and they glanced at each other.

Geoff's POV
Gwen was ignoring my texts, and I wanted to ask her about it before she left for Paris, or whatever. I looked at Courtney, who was really focused on her work, Heather who was probably texting Alejandro, and Trent who was half asleep. I got up and started fake sharpening my pencil, next to Gwen.

"Gwen" I whispered and she looked over at me.

"Yes?" She asked and I tilted my head.

"We have sex one time and you're already ignoring me?" I asked and she looked at me. "I thought it was good, you seemed to enjoy it." I added and she rolled her eyes.

"You egotistical piece of shit...one, shut the funk up about last night, and two my phone's broken. I left it in the bush last night and it rained." She said and I rolled my eyes.
