“Seven? Okay, I wasn’t too far off,” she laughed a little. “Honestly, it was more so that one of them was in denial while the other was convinced from the start. They didn’t really get along in the beginning- which, okay, is still sort of debatable at times- but I believe that they’ve both accepted being brothers at this point. Oo, good choice. Besides, we also have the rest of London with cute people. Wellll, I suppose it might depend on the sort of impression you’ll make on each person. Some of the people in the two main squads who are considered as the major bullies, the Vixens and the football team, are some genuinely nice people while also having people who could be nice to you yet could bully someone else. But, there are bullies everywhere on the social ladder and you can’t be too sure who’ll be your friend or your enemy. It truly depends. I guess keep a wary eye on everyone you meet is my best answer. And if you happen to become friends with a girl named Maddie Chase, do not have sex with Derek Cox. Trust me, don’t do it.”

“Don’t quote me on that, I’m not entirely sure of it.” She added, chuckling softly. “Well if they didn’t know about each other all their life, it would make sense that it would be a tough pill to swallow that there’s someone else that looks exactly like you. I’d feel robbed of the chance of growing up with a sibling. I know I would’ve been very lonely growing up without my little sister.” She couldn’t imagine what it was like, being an only child. “London does have some very cute people. I agree. Not as cute as the guys we have in Paris, but close. There are bullies everywhere? And I have to be wary of everyone? Now that doesn’t sound very comforting. Sounds very intense here. I guess I’ll just have to do my best to get people to like me then and keep one eye open until I’m sure i can trust them... How good looking is he and how bad would her reaction be if I sleep with him? Like is he worth it or not?”

Wyatt was pleasantly surprised when Emilie had told him that she was just as new as he was. It was something from their first conversation that he had used so then he could recognize her easier in the crowd. “Hey! You’re Emily or something like that right?” He asked as he saw her in the hall.

@emilieduval

She tilted her head from side to side, showing him that he’d almost gotten it right. “It’s Emilie, actually. I’m French.”

“Hey gal, you’re new right? Well like newish right?” Layla asked, knowing that there was some new kids that she was meant to talk to. Her mother always told her to make connections, and her therapist suggested that making new friends constantly was good. So the blonde was a good girl and listened. “Please tell me you’re newish because I asked someone else a second ago and they got really offended because I didn’t know them.”

@emilieduval

“Don’t worry, I am indeed new here. I’m Emilie, it’s nice to meet you.” She extended her hand polite smile on her face.

“Hmm, AP European History, pretty sure that’s Mr. Mendoza’s class… So that should be on the second floor of the other building, babe. I could definitely walk you over, need any help with those awfully heavy books?” 

“Yeah I believe it is. The name sounds familiar... Wait did you say the other building?” She sighed, what a great start. He was cute and offering to carry her books for her, who was she to say no to that? She did want to keep her options open. “Oh, could you help me? That would be fantastique.”

“Oh no, it’s fine, I’m kind of a jumpy person.” Iris admitted with a small laugh, not realizing the flour left on her face. “Great, sorry if I’m in the way at all.”

“Oh, no, don’t worry, you’re not in the way at all.” She was quick to assure the other. “I’m Emilie.”

“Oh, uh.. It’s like on the bulletin board right outside the student life room,” he told her with a smile. “And there should be a couple at the theater one, too. We have a lot of overlapping clubs,” he explained to the new girl. “What? No, don’t worry about it! Please don’t apologize. There’s nothing to be sorry for, plus every school is different and this one is huge and definitely confusing at first,” he assured Emilie with a smile. “I only know the ins and outs because I’ve been attending for years, but the new building is definitely confusing to me too,” he added. “Exactly! Jump scares are a cheap cop out. Psychological thrillers are where the real horror is at.” 

“Thank you very much. I should be able to find it now.” He had given her several locations for where it could be so that meant she had more chances of getting it right. Worst came to worst she’d simply ask someone else to point her into the right direction later on, she didn’t want to bother him too much. “Since you’ve been here for years, is there anything I need to watch out for?” She couldn’t remember the last time she interacted with a teacher who hadn’t been her maman. “Some people just aren’t attentive enough to get the little things which make the thriller scarier.”

thomxsknight‌:

“Oh, I’m sorry. I just came out of a bit of a bad practice, I shouldn’t have reacted like that. Which History class do you have, Gorgeous?” 

“I have AP European History. It says its somewhere on the second floor but I can’t seem to find it. I’d really appreciate some help.” 

[emilieduval]

thomxsknight‌:

“Can I help you? Or do you just like getting in people’s way and being a general inconvenience?” 

“I’m new. I was just wondering how to get to the History classroom.”

[emilieduval]

“The fact that you’re female and I haven’t hit on you” she laughed, “I’m totally kidding, but like not”

“Was that you hitting on me, or just you informing me that you’re going to hit on me in the future?”

“there’s perks to being new, it’s the best pick up line for starters” she mused with a chuckle, shaking her hand, “callie, and i pass the torch to you, new girl” 

“You have a point there. I have my pick of the guys without knowing how annoying or boring they actually are if you spend more time with them. It’s very refreshing. They all try to be on their best behavior to impress me. It’s nice to meet someone who’s gone through the same things. This is my first time in a real high school, I’ve been homeschooled up until now. Any tips?”

[emilieduval]

“I actually read something once that said that there are typically five other people in the world who look similar to you. My friend, Milo, had been convinced that him and Jackson, another good friend of mine, were just identical strangers for the longest time before he accepted the fact that they’re twins. Really? Did you get his name at least? Not exactly, but I’m glad to hear that things are starting off good for you! This school and the people here are… unpredictable, to put it lightly.”

“I believe that I have heard of that before, but I think the number I heard was seven. Either way, same thing. Identical strangers? Now that does sound like there’s a good story behind it. Why didn’t they just check their birth certificate and see if their birthdays matched up from the beginning? Yeah, I did get his name and his number, but I’m gonna see what else this school has to offer before I decide if I want to text him. Unpredictable doesn’t sound like a good thing. Is there anyone i need to watch out for? Like a mean girl or someone who likes to think they’re a bully?”

“Oh cool,” Wyatt hadn’t met a lot of people who were homeschooled before, well other than the mountain people. “How as being homeschooled? That seems like it’d be cool.”

“I loved it, honestly. Due to that I could follow my passion and take a lot more singing and dancing classes than I would’ve been able to otherwise. And with a busy schedule home school is great because you can fit it in whenever you have time.” 

[emilieduval]

whyjacobs‌:

“Huh, what are the odds? I got here yesterday too.” Wyatt loved any sort of forest or countryside. “Did your parents get mad at you for not taking school seriously too?”

“They did not, actually. I’ve been homeschooled by my mom for years, but my parents wanted me to have a normal high school experience for at least a few months. So I’ll know what it’s like.”

Wyatt had arrived at Foxcroft a couple days ago on the down low. Honestly, his parents couldn’t have waited until after Christmas to send him to another school? He didn’t understand it but he did what they told him to do. The fresh face at foxcroft was walking around trying to get himself acquainted with the campus. “Hey, weird question but you don’t happen to know where like a forest preserve or something around here would you?”

“I’m really sorry, I don’t think I can help you. i just got here myself yesterday.” Emilie had always been a city girl through and through. 

[emilieduval]

jamietaylorisms‌:

“It’s gotten easier telling apart the new faces around here.I mean, you look familiar… But I can’t put my finger on it. Are you enjoying Foxcroft so far?”

“Oh, I have heard that before. I believe I just have one of those faces.” She waved it off. “I am actually. Everyone I’ve met so far as been very kind. I’ve had a cute guy sing to me. Is that what normally happens around here?”

[emilieduval]

itscalliopecruz‌:

“well for one, everyone stopped calling me the new girl”

"Well then I hope someone new comes in so I can get my name back. New girl doesn’t have the same ring to it.” She joked before extending her hand. “I’m Emilie. It’s nice to meet you.”
