Five

"sure! I mean I like to try that" I answered, I saw Jaz smile with my decision.

" Just stand in line, place your order and then present your meal card, easy as one, two, three." Azzi instructs.

I double think, doubting if it would be as easy as 'one, two, three' as Azzi says.

"Right." English boy pushes back his chair. "Come along then, I haven't eaten either."

I can't help but to notice how girls gape and crane their necks as they follow every move Damien does as we wind our way through the crowd of international students.

A blond with big curls that looks more likes a tsunami than waves in a infant size tank top coos her way as soon as she spots us. "Hey Damien" she greets with her chest on display. I bet she got the best wires to push it up. She acknowledged me by flashing a scrutinizing look from head to toe. Bitch.

"Hallo Bella" he greets back, barely acknowledging her effort to display her cleavage.

"How's your summer?"

"Good." Damien says in a clipped tone.

"Where did you go? Did you went home to England?" she says leaning over Damien's shoulder but he steps aside as a man walks pass us causing her to slightly stumble.

"yeah, I went back to London. " he politely answered but didn't bother to ask her back.

"Mine was amazing..." she continued as she flashes her million dollar flirtatious smile. "I went to New York City and stayed there till the summer break is over. It just loves me as much as I love it"

Yeah right, you might love my hometown but I'm not sure if it loves you back.

"But it would be more amazing if you have had come with me" she says now tracing her finger on Damien's arm

"Err, I don't think so. It could be more amazing if you'd make it more fun yourself." He shrugs her off

"Hey," he nudges me. "Come on, we ought not to be in the last line"

He turns his back to Bella, gaining me a scowl from them.

I don't care. No big deal.

"time for you to learn some things. Breakfast is pretty easy here, you just have to know the basic language of food."

I nod. Following him on the line of students, my meal card on hand.

" Croissants and crepes are the most famous and common, meaning, they wont miss serving it every single day,"

"Are there any other options that I could choose from?" I ask hopefully

"absolutely, yes." He laughs "Those on the chalkboards are quite easy to find on the internet, I suggest you to open yours while you are on line, soon you'll have it printed in here" he says pointing his head.

"are there any thing you want to add on your order?" He asks,

I look on the chalkboard, and find nothing familiar.

"What do you suggest?" I asked him eyes still on the menu.

"I suggest you to stick with fondue, we'll just find you a bread that will match it." he stairs at the menu for awhile "I think baguette will be good." I just listened to him as he go on with my french lesson

"You'll have to place your order yourself, listen and repeat after me, First, Fondoo, you pronounce it like that." I narrow my eyes as I try to say it correctly.

"Simply means a melted cheese where you can dip your baguette. Say it ba-get,"

" fondoo and baget"

"See? seems like we have here a native speaker eh? You say you don't speak french"

"Ha! I'm not a native, and yes I don't speak French"

He laughed. " You just did, I'll give you an A on your first lesson"

"Gees, Thanks my oh-so-not-professor"

He smiled " Oh, I see you don't actually appreciate my effort here. Care to discuss about it? I should have asked for a professional fee. Maybe I'll charge you on your next lesson"

I laughed,

"err, then I might just ditch it." He glared but laughed after awhile.

"I'm miffed."

miffed, honestly? new slang words sprawling in here!

The frenchman behind the counter greets us with a wide smile " Bonjour!" he is a giant with a big round tummy draped in a chef uniform, it would have been perfect if he had this curled mustache. We greeted him back, mostly Damien.

He places his order "Jambon-beurre et Café liégeois'"

I have no idea what his order is, it's too much for my brain to process it now. "Fondue and baguette," I say

The chef who introduced himself as Chef Alain, places our order in a transparent tray with a gold handling. He looks glad at my admiration on his work.

"merci bonne journée mademoiselle"

I returned a smile, atleast I understand that he's thanking me.

I grab my tray. "See? that wasn't hard."

I smiled and my eyes dart automatically in his tray "hey! why didn't you told me that they have something like that?" I ask offended.

along with his other order is a large glass with I think is a sweetened coffee, added with ice cream and chantilly. Crushed roasted coffee beans are put on top of the chantilly as decoration.

"That is just one hell of a dessert!" I say in awe as he laughed at me.

I can't help but to ogle at his dessert as we slide down to our respective seat.

"How was your first experience?" Azzi asks in a mocking tone. Jaz swats his arm.

"it was fine,"

"Fine, because you had the best instructor with you." Damien added.

"do I have to get some for our tip box Dame?" Azzi asks

Damien shook his head " I gave her a free trial this time, I'll double the charge next time."

"Hey that's not fair!"

"You better find a descent instructor Hailey, you wouldn't want to have him, you'll be in a lot of trouble" Yoona says, as I watch Damien laughed at her remark.

I think I would need to avoid that trouble.
