Chanelle wakes up, and looks at the time. Freaking out that she's gonna be late to class.
" Shit! I can't believe i'm already late for the first day of class!" , She leaps out of bed, and runs to her bathroom to take a quick shower.
" AH!," she trips over a shirt in the bathroom, " Ugh! today is gonna be such a bad day,"
She continues her morning in a rush, so that she doesn't get to class super late. She runs out of her dorm, and bumps into a stranger.
"Ouch!", Yells the stranger, his coffee poured all over him.
" OH MY GOD, I AM SO SORRY! I'm just in a big rush and i didn't mean for this to hap-", Chanelle pauses for a second; taking in the man's handsome features. He had such beautiful brown eyes, and a cute button nose, he was tall, and had wavy, dark hair parted in the middle. While wearing a jean jacket, white shirt, and jeans. Chanelle thought to her self if he was even real because of how gorgeous he was.
" It's fine ma'am, i'm running pretty late myself as well. What's your number? you owe me a coffee now." He said with a smile.
Chanelle gives her number to the handsome stranger and carries on. She gets to her class, the whole class already focus on the lesson.
" Oh, you must be Chanelle Blaine; would you like to introduce yourself and explain as to why you're late to the whole class? " Said the professor.
" Well i-, you see-," Chanelle's embarresement was clearly noticable on her face.
" Hello Professor Martin! I'm sorry i had to change because somebody spilled coffee on me while i was on my way over here. I apologize for my tardiness." Says a voice behind Chanelle, Chanelle was shocked to see who it was. It was HIM.
" Oh hi! aren't you the girl who spilled my coffee on me?" He said with a sarcastic tone.
" Uh yeah.... I'm sorry about that again." Chanelle said, while looking down and biting her lip.
" Okay Lucas and Chanelle you two can sit in the back. Stay after class, i want to speak to the both of you after. Chanelle you stay here and introduce yourself." Professor Martin said in a serious tone.
" Bonjour everyone, My name is Chanelle Blaine. I'm 19 years old, and come from the states. I wanted to transfer over here because Paris has a great university and culture. I've been in love with France for a very long time now. and i'm so excited to get to know each and one of you guys." Chanelle said, while again biting her lip and looking down. Chanelle was a shy girl, and she always did the lip biting thing when she was nervous or worried about something. In this case, she was scared that she would leave a bad impression on everyone. She didn't want history to repeat itself.
" Well Ms. Blaine, you can sit next to Mr. Heart, or you can say Coffee boy in your case." The professor chuckled, thinking that he was funny. Nobody else in class laughed except for him. Awkward silence filled the room, while chanelle walked to her seat next to Lucas.
"Ahem, anyways turn to page 81 in your textbooks." Said Monsieur Martin.
During the rest of the class, Lucas stared at her the whole time. Chanelle would take quick glimpses here and there, but felt awfully uncomfortable.
Lucas chuckles, " You know, i'm just messing with you right now. You're not much my type. Stacey is a beauty though." Chanelle thought in her head, " who the heck is stacey?"
Lucas pointed, " she's the girl sitting in the front, next to the window." Chanelle looked over by the window to see such a gorgeous woman. She had long jet black hair that was wavy but had such a gorgeous shine to it. With such clear, pale skin. Her lips were perfectly plump, and were the shade of a pink rose. Her body was amazing. For a second, Chanelle felt insecure about her self. She didn't have hips like hers, nor a chest that big. She didn't have her black, long hair, nor Stacey's aura. She radiated beauty, while Chanelle felt as if she radiated a gloomy vibe. The dark lights in the back, and how cold it was in the back; didn't help with that fact.
2 hours later:
" Well Ladies and Gentlemen, Class dismissed." Monsieur Martin said while running out of the classroom, and nearly tripping and falling.
" Professor! aren't you supposed to speak to Lucas and what's her face? Chanelle!" Stacey said while getting up.
" Another time!" He yelled, he nearly ran into the door across the classroom. Stacey got up to her seat and walked towards Lucas and Chanelle. Keeping her eye mostly on the hunk next to Chanelle.
" Hey Chanelle, do you mind? " Stacey said, lightly shoving Chanelle to the side.
" Be my guest ." Chanelle walks down and out of the classroom.
Chanelle turns around to see Stacey just being all over him, it bothered Chanelle a little. How Stacey had all that confidence, how she wasn't afraid to be rejected, or disliked by others. By the way she treats people She just knew people dislike her.
" Bye Chanelle! see you soon!" Lucas said. Stacey looked at him in disbelief
" There is no way you actually like her, she is so weird." Stacey said.
Chanelle didn't believe actual bitches like that existed, but she knew she would probably come across one sooner or later according to her friends back home.
————————————-
Chanelle walked through the city, admiring how gorgeous it was. She had never been to paris. She loved the way the blossoms bloomed during her time by the Eifill Tower. She sat down under one of the blossom tree's and closed her eyes. Imagining what it would feel like to have someone's arms wrapped around her, while under the tree. She had always been lonley, and only had 2 bestfriends. Kaitlyn and Ryan, back home they were the only people she felt comfortable with. She missed them a lot, but she knew that they would be okay as long as they had each other and as long and she knew they had her back." I should be getting on my way." Chanelle says, getting up when she feels her phone vibrate. It was Lucas.
" Turn around" the text said.
There Lucas is, holding 2 coffees.
" Oh no, not the coffee." she whispers under her breath, she gives Lucas a smile and walks towards him.
