C9 The presentations

All eyes are on them to see what they will do.

Lucia speaks up:

- Ah, I thought you were a student!

Some people are shocked and shout to express their displeasure because she allows herself to call Mrs. Fenelossa "vous" except that the latter is very calm with her glasses which give her a more serious air.

- And you're being polite to me too, young lady! Well, I'm going to start my class!

She turns around and starts writing the year's curriculum on the board after asking the students to write it down.

Lucia and Nola take their places and write without even apologizing. They don't care!

On the third year students' side, things are going very fast! They are great and understanding! They don't have time to disrespect their teachers anymore.

The one who is teaching them right now is Mr. Brietto, the math teacher.

His glasses, his black hair mixed with white and his little beard express the serious man he is.

He is a very wise man who knows a lot about life. This is his third year of teaching at this university and everything has always gone well for him even though he is single and this situation is starting to weigh on him.

When he finishes teaching, he goes directly to the fourth building which is used for many things. For example, it has rooms for teachers who live outside of Manhattan.

They stay there and on weekends they go home.

So when he goes to his room, he reads books, prepares his lectures and tests.

He hardly ever leaves the school to have fun, and he doesn't really have any friends in this city.

But one thing is for sure, he is very much loved and during his first and second year of teaching, he was voted by the students as the main teacher of all the students.

He helps them to prepare for competitions, advises them on their problems and does many other things.

This morning he sent the program directly to the students' mailbox and explained directly what it is about and then he started asking each student to introduce himself.

Damien and his two best friends were on the first bench and they were the ones who started.

- Hello everyone, I'm Juanito Albarez, I'm 23 years old and I'm from Manhattan! This is my third year here in Beverly Hills! I love to sing and I can play the guitar and my favorite subject is math!

- Oh I know," replied Mr. Brietto with a big smile on his face.

It was Damien's turn to introduce himself. He thought it was useless but he accepted to do it anyway out of respect for this kind teacher!

He said in a very pale tone:

- Damien Valquéz, 22 years old, Manhattan, third year, singing, no musical instruments!

Then he immediately sat down.

Mr. Brietto called out to him.

- It's a very quick presentation Damien! Stand up and introduce yourself as Juanito did, please!

He sighed and stood up before saying:

- My name is Damien Valquez, I'm 22 years old, I'm from Manhattan and this is my third year here in Beverly Hills! I love to sing but I can't play any instruments and I don't have a favorite subject! Well, I do love the hours when we don't have class! You can consider that a subject, can't you?

He sounded very serious when he said that. Everyone laughed, but Mr. Brietto did not.

- I'm going to send you an email to make an appointment to talk," the teacher said, before replying, "See you later!

Damien sat down without saying anything.

- My name is Pikito Pikito! Please don't laugh!

Everyone laughed out loud!

- Oh yes, not only is my name "Pikito", but I have that name twice! I wonder why my parents did this to me! Anyway, I'm 22 years old and this is my third year here! I like playing the drums!

People laughed again!

- And where are you from? Tell your friends!

- I come from...

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door: Mrs. Fenelossa!

Mr. Brietto turned around to see who was there and froze like a post for a few moments before moving closer to her.

- Yes, hello colleague! My name is Mrs. Fenelossa...

She spoke and could no longer control the movement of her lips and as if that wasn't enough, her hands were shaking.

- ... Spanish teacher and this is my first year teaching here!

I would like to know if you could pass me the code to your service computer so I can log in to enter documents to print please, I forgot mine on the way here this morning and I don't have it in my head!

- Yes, of course! It would be my pleasure, Ms. Fenelossa!

He starts to search his pockets and then looks at his table behind him and goes to it to take a sheet of paper and a pen. He wrote down the code, looked at it for a few seconds and then looked at Mrs. Fenelossa!

He hesitates, but then slowly steps forward and gives it to her!

- Here you go!

- Thank you very much!

She smiles at him and he does the same even though he looks embarrassed.

- I finish my first class at 10:30! Then you can change the code!

He smiles slightly and she leaves!

He returns to stand in front of the board and says:

- Next!

The presentations continue!

There are several boys and several girls! Each one is beautiful in his own way and has his own character.

When Julio's turn comes, he stands up calmly and introduces himself:

- Hello everyone! My name is Julio Pelegro, I am 22 years old and this is my first year here. I'm from Bousco and my passion is music. As for my favorite class, I love all subjects!

Mr. Brietto smiles.

- It's my first time to hear that: "I love all subjects"! Let's hear it for him!

Everyone applauds, especially a certain Bonita.

She is a simple girl with a normal life!

Physically, she has an average height and an average build. She wears a long dress, not very pretty, but not ugly either. She has ballerinas. She is dressed simply!

This Bonita has black hair and her head is a bit round. It should also be noted that she has glasses.

She is sitting with her cousin Lisa, who is rather dressed with luxury clothes and who is physically more beautiful!

- Look, he is cute! Says Bonita to Lisa.

- Do you think so?

- Yes! He is tall and very cute!

She smiles as she talks and her dimples show. Her cheeks are even blushing!

- You better change your look so he'll look at you!

- But, why? She asks him while stopping smiling!

- No I'm kidding, you are the same in every way, it could work between you cousin!

She pats him the shoulder before adding:

- Stop looking at him and focus!

She executes.

At the same time, she asks the students to come forward and wait for her to plug in the computer, connect it, look for what she has to write in the machine before printing.

Emilie and Adrianna how since they are at the first bench.

- Hello, my name is Emily Valquez, I am 17 years old and I am a...

Mrs. Fenelossa stops what she is doing and yes says with a smile:

- A genius is among us!

Emily smiles and looks at Adrianna before continuing.

- I'm from Manhattan! This is my first year here and I love the theater!

She sits down and Adrianna stands up:

- Adrianna Pelegro, 19 years old, first year here! I'm from Bousco, I like to sing and I like all subjects!

She sits down and the teacher flunks her!

- You seem to be in a hurry! Introduce yourself well my dear, okay? I know that for details it is not easy to speak in front of people but you have to make an effort!

She stands up once more and sighs before saying:

- Hi everyone, my name is Adrianna Pelegro, I'm 19 years old and this is my first year here in Beverly Hills! I love to sing, I can play the guitar and I love all subjects!

- Good girl! Let the next one show up!

Lucia, while waiting for her turn, can't help but ask Rafael and Nola questions about what's going on:

- What do these two do together?

- Ah, what do you want us to tell you? asks Nola!

- There is no such thing as coincidence, Rafael retorts! They are sitting together for a good reason!

- Are they? asks Nola, looking at him seriously! That reminds me of what you told me earlier! It wasn't a coincidence then?

He changes his face and says:

- What?

- What's going on here? What did he tell you, Nola? Are you hiding things from me now?

Nola and Rafael look at each other.

- No, he didn't tell me anything, Lucia, I was joking!

Rafael sighs in his heart.

The introductions continue and it is around the trio to introduce themselves....

- Hi, I'm Rafael, I'm a black guy from the US and this is my first year here! I'm 21 years old and I'm passionate about comedy and I like Spanish!

Ms. Fenelossa smiles as it is her subject.

- I'm Lucia PAQUILLA, I'm 19 years old and I'm from Manhattan! This is my first year here! I love fashion design and not just any fashion design! I like the big brands Okey?

She talks while gesturing with her arms and it's a little embarrassing for some.

- I don't have any favorite subject and school is boring me! If my parents hadn't enrolled me here and if my boyfriend Damien Valquéz...

She looks at Adrianna and Adrianna looks at her...

- ...wasn't here, I'd probably be designing clothes with designer products! Thank you, thank you!

She sits down.

No one said anything, not even the teacher.

- I'm Nola, I'm eighteen years old and this is my first year here! I'm not from Manhattan but I lived here and I live here! I like to sing and my favorite subject is... well, I don't know!

- Okay," said the teacher. You can sit down!

Meanwhile, the computer turned on and she decided to put in the code.

She unfolds the paper and sees "code: Briettoisthisbachelor" and next to it it says: this is really the code. I wanted to change it before giving it to you but I didn't want to waste your time.

To be continued...
