Mademoiselle

HL 100 Challenge #8

"Repetez, s’il vous plait – Mademoiselle Noel! Are you listening?"

Her notebook was scribbled over with abstract shapes, instead of English vocabulary. She looked up at the instructor.

"Non, monsieur."

"English, Miss Noel! English."

"No, I not listening, sir." Maman would be angry. She was always being caught doodling in her notebook or staring off into space.

"I’m not listening, Miss Noel. Repetez."

"I’m not listening."

What is the point of all this, anyway? Tessa thought. When would she really need to speak English? She thought only of galleries in Paris.

Methos looked down at the little blonde girl and sighed.
