My Dear Professeur

Chapitre 2

If someone had told me that Professeur Obnoxious was going to be my new neighbor, I would have told them it was a good joke. Except it was not.

Professeur Barnes was in a deep conversation with the mover, and had not noticed me yet. I just had to leave quietly and all would be fine.

However, my paper bag had another idea.

The bag containing my groceries ripped, its content spilling everywhere in a loud noise.

Everyone's attention was on me, and Mr. Obnoxious wasn't an exception.

An apple rolled to his feet, stopping just at the tip of his shoe.

Right now, I just wanted to hide in a tiny mouse hole and never see light again.

He bent down and picked it up, his perfectly ironed suit creasing as he did so.

He then proceeded to walk toward me, his brows furrowed, his face in a permanent scowl. He adressed me in french.

"Pick up your trash, I don't want the movers to injure themselves on an apple because of your incompetence" his tone was unforgiving.

The nerve of the man, had his bags never ripped before ? I was not the one at fault !

"I'm sorry Monsieur, I shall have a word with my paper bag and decide on what punishment is fit, we can't let him behave that way, I would not want him to inconvenience you further than that."

Take that in your face Professeur. I'll be the one who will have the last word here.

Well, that is, if he had not killed me before that, because if looks could kill, I would have already been dead and buried.

"Everyone with a brain could have seen, Mademoiselle, that your bag was overfilled. You should have used two bags for it not to rip." he stated.

Had he just insinuated that I didn't have a brain ? This infuriating man !

"Listen here/" he cut me off.

"I dont have the time for your antics, I have a moving to supervise. Just tidy this mess please, before there really is an accident.

I'll take that as a token of your apologies." he said while mentioning my apple, throwing it into the air before taking a bite and strolling into his appartment.

Had he just stolen my apple or was I dreaming ? And had he just eaten it when it had rolled on the floor sweeping dirt ? Hilarious.

Oh, how I hated this man with passion.

I had to go to my chambre to fetch a new bag and then came back to take all of my groceries in it. I checked to see if I had everything.

Well, save from my stolen apple that is, may it rest in peace.

But really, was this man so poor that he had to result to stealing from one of his poor student ?

Of course the answer was no ! The man had just moved in an extremely expensive place !

Finally home, I found the sweet confort of my bed again. This day had been hectic, it had been a while since I had been so busy. So busy that I had not thought of my torment for almost the whole day.

But I was left alone once again, and my thoughts turned sour.

I changed my outfit, it was too hot in this long sleeves shirt. I opted for my Hello Kitty pajamas.
