They've teased me all week, because I've avoided anything that requires ordering. I've made excuses (I'm allergic to beef,\" \"Nothing tastes better than bread,\" Ravioli is overrated\"), but I can't avoid it forever.Monsieur Boutin is working the counter again. I grab a tray and take a deep breath. \" Bonjour , uh...soup? Sopa? S'il vous plait? \" \"Hello\" and \"please.\" I've learned the polite words first, in hopes that the French will forgive me for butchering the remainder of their beautiful language. I point to the vat of orangey-red soup. Butternut squash, I think. The smell is extraordinary, like sage and autumn. It's early September, and the weather is still warm. When does fall come to Paris? \"Ah! soupe .I mean, oui. Oui! \" My cheeks burn. \"And,um, the uh-chicken-salad-green-bean thingy?\" Monsieur Boutin laughs. It's a jolly, bowl-full-of-jelly, Santa Claus laugh. \"Chicken and haricots verts, oui. You know,you may speek Ingleesh to me. I understand eet vairy well.\" My blush deepends. Of course he'd speak English in an American school. And I've been living on stupid pears and baquettes for five days. He hands me a bowl of soup and a small plate of chicken salad, and my stomach rumbles at the sight of hot food. \" Merci ,\" I say. \" De rien .You're welcome. And I 'ope you don't skeep meals to avoid me anymore!\" He places his hand on his chest, as if brokenhearted. I smile and shake my head no. I can do this. I can do this. I can- \"NOW THAT WASN'T SO TERRIBLE, WAS IT, ANNA?\" St. Clair hollers from the other side of the cafeteria. I spin around and give him the finger down low, hoping Monsieur Boutin can't see. St. Clair responds by grinning and giving me the British version, the V-sign with his first two fingers. Monsieur Boutin tuts behind me with good nature. I pay for my meal and take the seat next to St. Clair. \"Thanks. I forgot how to flip off the English. I'll use the correct hand gesture next time.\" \"My pleasure. Always happy to educate.\" He's wearing the same clothing as yesterday, jeans and a ratty T-shirt with Napolean's silhouette on it.When I asked him about it,he said Napolean was his hero. \"Not because he was a decent bloke, mind you.He was an arse. But he was a short arse,like meself.\" I wonder if he slept at Ellie's. That's probably why he hasn't changed his clothes. He rides the metro to her college every night, and they hang out there. Rashmi and Mer have been worked up, like maybe Ellie thinks she's too good for them now. \"You know,Anna,\" Rashmi says, \"most Parisians understand English. You don't have to be so shy.\" Yeah.Thanks for pointing that out now.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stephanie Perkins" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stephanie-perkins/the-pressure-is-on-they-ve-teased-me-all-week-because-i-ve-avoided/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0b8/stephanie-perkins-482_every-night_the-pressure-is-on-they-ve-teased-me-all_2151624.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0b8/stephanie-perkins-482_every-night_the-pressure-is-on-they-ve-teased-me-all_2151624.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0b8/stephanie-perkins-482_every-night_the-pressure-is-on-they-ve-teased-me-all_2151624.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The pressure is on.
