(pov hérèse )
"Get up," he ordered.
I will take you to your class.
I straighten up
"No, it's not worth it," I tried to protest.
But François didn't seem to be asking for my opinion.
Disappearing before I could even begin my sentence.
"Pouf," I breathed, tossing my sheets to one side.
I jump out of bed and throw on the first outfit I see.
And run behind him towards the dining room
"I don't want to eat here," I murmured.
Scrutinizing the room before entering.
François was waiting, seated opposite my usual seat.
– (He's not here), I thought, a little more relaxed
"I don't want to see him show up with his reforms," I muttered to myself.
Pulling out my chair to sit down
I sat staring at my plate and at François, who was also staring at me.
Silence
"Is there a problem?" he finally asked me.
"Lost in my own head," I said, shrugging my shoulders.
I grabbed my cutlery and took the first bite
Silence
I feel like I'm in an interrogation room, or just under pressure.
I glance up at François
"Eat," he ordered immediately.
"You're already late," he finished, slightly sternly.
"We can just cancel," I said, stammering.
François scrutinized me with his neutral expression and breathed
"Fleeing is a very addictive drug," he said, rising slightly, then put the chair back and opened the door for me.
Go get changed, we're leaving
I almost choked on it
He must have gotten a real dressing-down.
I push my plate away and do as I say.
Bath, bedroom, car
"I'm ready," I said, tapping on the car door window.
15h50
I had to follow him politely, looking at the distant landscape, waiting for my fate to catch up with me.
When I arrived, I saw them all leaving.
– (Where are they going like this )
I slam the car door and turn back to them, hands on my hips.
Tackle!
I was hit from behind
"So far!" I exclaimed.
He doesn't even know when to stop and just keeps running at full speed.
But it's the twins!
"No kidding," I said, rubbing my shoulder.
Adele and André
Go catch up to them and give them a good whack, what are you waiting for, move it, you wimp
I started running, chasing after them, but not for those reasons; the gate was closing.
– Phew~
Having barely made it home, the looks were already piercing, I walked to my classmates but sat far away from the small groups that had formed.
I prefer to fiddle with my watch and ignore them.
– (4:15 PM, no one in charge inside)
Lost in my thoughts
Hey, what are you doing hiding in your corner? Do you want him to think I'm weak?
Even in my own mind I couldn't claim peace; gossip was quick to reach my ears.
– he left her…
– his whole
– less strong
– poor girl
– she chose it
the groups were growing larger and engulfing me
– (and then shit)
I get up and prefer to walk away from the merchant to the edge of the lagoon, to better observe the water and the fishermen
It really stinks of shit
– for once I agree with you
I didn't ask you to be that way.she insults me
– annoying
Then….
Hum!
I feel pressure in my shoulder
Pause
I turn around
– hha!
Adele and André
"What do you want from me?" said the hérèse aggressively, arms crossed, a hostile look on her face, without even giving them a chance to approach.
"I came to apologize," André murmured, fumbling his way through the silence.
He scrutinizes them from every angle, one eyebrow raised and a sly smile playing on his lips.
They're very shady, but hey, we arrived together.
"Go, that's enough," hérèse exclaimed.
Then he turned around
But… strangely and without explanation,
They remained rooted to the spot, leaving a profound sense of unease.
"What now?" said hérèse , much more softly despite her aggressive look.
Adele moved a little too close and instinctively stopped and pushed him away.
– be careful, heretic whispers
Now the distance is quite stable
"Don't follow them, it's a trap," André finally said, lowering his head as if to apologize.
– Stop that, hérèse exclaimed
They'll end up thinking I'm a sadist.
"We'll see," he murmured, covering his eyes and shielding them from this absurd scene.
"HEY, OUT OF HERE!" ordered a voice.
I immediately looked up, meeting the eyes of the aggressor.
– not her yet
All eyes were on us and
The twins escape with their tails between their legs, like two little rabbits.
I prefer to watch them run away than to pay attention to him
But you pushed me away as soon as you heard it, you scoundrel
– (you complain about everything)
Let me take care of it.
I set sail again, ignoring his presence.
Humming a little song
Ohhh fuck it stinks even more, fuck
I pinch my nose
– ttruuuuuuuuu!
A long curse slapped my ear.
She is getting closer
I'm backing away
Getting closer
I'm backing away
Bring closer
Back away
She completely invades my personal space, making me take a big step back.
Crack!
- ha !?
Almost slippery
"Water!" I said, noticing my proximity to the edge.
Tack!
My balance wavered and my whole body pulled me backwards.
I slipped, no, I was pushed. I could still feel the impact on my foot, and she was looking at me, suppressing a smile.
