There are two types of people in this world: those who succeed and those who fail miserably. You bet that our friend Maxence is drowning in failure. Maxence is your average smartass French man who attends one of the top schools in France: Sorbonne University but still seems to be struggling in the outside world. His parents refuse to pay for his college tuition which leaves him trying to take on as many jobs. From waiter to chauffer to garbage man, he's done them all. With all that filling his schedule, he has no time to focus on his dream: to be an artist. That is he's met with unfortunate circumstances and unfortunate people which leaves him trying to jump over the highest hurdle life could give him.

The player and the shy girl (english version)
As I walk into the school, he spots me and immediately starts talking to me. I brush past him, ignoring him, but today is definitely not my lucky day... He grabs my arm firmly, stopping me, and turns me to face him. The pain on my face contorts his expression. "What's wrong, Emma? Lost your voice, lizard?" I don't look at him; my head is hung low once again. "When I'm talking, you need to look at me!" he shouts, lifting my chin so I have to meet his gaze. I look at him, but it's not with innocence; it's with anger. "Oh, look, Emma's angry, everyone!" he mocks. "Just leave me alone," I say, meeting his eyes as I pull my arm free from his grip and walk away. He stares at me, shocked, as do all the kids around us, not expecting what I just did.Complete
