A Spider in Paris Season 2

Episode 4 Part 1~Despair Bear

Françoise Dupont High School; Ms. Bustier's Classroom
Y/N's POV

The class crowded around Marinette's dad as he shows us the way to making delicious macarons.

Tom: I'll let you in on a little secret. I always add cream to the chocolate to make the ganache extra velvety. Then I let it infuse for one minute.

My eyes sparkle as I watched his techniques. But, then, my eyes stopped twinkling from hearing someone's, much unneeded, comment.

Chloe: Urgh! Do they seriously think I'm going to get my hands dirty, cooking like some maid? If I want a croissant, I'd just make my butler get it for me.

Rose: He's not making croissants, Chloe. Those are macarons!

Tom: (continues explanation)It's all done with a flick of the wrist. But you mustn't go too fast or you might splash yourself!

Chloe: And soil my Chenal pants? Who's he kidding?

'...'

Tom: (shows bowl of cream)Look at this lovely emulsion.

My eyes start to glisten again at the beautiful sight. Everyone else stared at it in awe.

Rose: It's beautiful!

While everyone continued to stare at awe, I look away from the cream bowl and saw Chloe by the classroom window, whispering into her phone.

Tom: Now we need to chill it for half an hour. Marinette?

I peeled my attention away from Chloe and towards her. She, also, noticed Chloe standing away from the class group.

Marinette: (gasps and turns to him)Yes, dad?

Tom: Could you put this in the school cafeteria fridge for me, please? In the meantime, I'm going to show your friends how to whip up egg whites!

Marinette: Of course!

She takes the bowl into her hands and walks out of the classroom. I turn back to Marinette's dad, who was taking out an egg carton.

Tom: Now! Even though stores sell egg whites in cartons, it's always best to know how to do it manually! So! (takes out two bowls)You just have to --

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Ms. Bustier: Okay, students! You know the drill!

Quickly, we started to form a line at the door and exited the classroom.

Ms. Bustier: Quietly, students. Single file line, please. Just keep moving.

Walking down the stairs, I eyed Chloe who held a suspicious smirk on her face. I could only sigh in frustration and followed the group.

Timeskip>>>

Mr. Damocles: (sternly)So, some smart aleck had the bright idea of calling the fire department.

A collection of gasps was uttered in the large crowd of students.

Mr. Damocles: Somebody amongst us thought it would be funny to waste the fire captain's valuable time.

Firefighter: Yes, in fact, if you wouldn't mind I...

Before the Firefighter could walk away, Mr. Damocles stopped him.

Mr. Damocles: Hold on! I want the guilty party to apologize to you.

I turned to Chloe with an accusing eye.

'Seriously...'

The said girl was just filing her nails, not caring about the situation at all.

'I know it was Chloe... but saying that she was on her phone during class wouldn't prove anything...'
