ＣＯＣＯＮＵＴＳ

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah. Because I would honestly never say dang. Ever. It's so weird. Like hillbilly or something xD

I'd like to learn Spanish, too. Well, and German, because I love Germany. But I can't D:

Christien laughed, "I agree with you on that. I can understand why you might forget then. So I'll offer forgiveness for forgetting during hotel maid situations." Once she released him, he said, "I suppose I should probably get showered, in that case." He smiled back in return for her blow-kiss, and then returned that as well before stepping straight in to the shower and turning on the water-- it would already be hot.

 

[VideoStar95]

Haha, yes, it does sound quite red-neck-ish.

Why can't you? And well, here, it'd be helpfull to learn Spanish.

Elaina thumbed through her clothing choices, eventually selecting a pair of light-jean shorts --that barely covered all of her butt for the record-- and a white shirt with gold studs on the shoulders; then, tried to locate another bra and underwear ensemble. Finally, she changed, admired herself in the wall mirror for a few moments then turned to focus on her hair, humming to herself.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

They don't offer Spanish until A-Level, and the other options I chose meant that I couldn't pick German. Still, I'll learn in my own time

Christien always sang while he was in the shower, it thoroughly amused his parents and his sister. He sung mostly songs in English. Most French music wasn't really that good. Literally, the whole time he showered, while shampooing, conditioning and washing himself off. He finished and got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around his waist again. Drying himself off, he entered the bedroom and started to look through his clothes-- stealing a glance at how lovely Elaina looked. He picked out a pair of dark coloured denim jeans and a white button down shirt, rolling up the sleeves and leaving the first few buttons undone, as he always did.

 

[VideoStar95]

Oh, I see. All your school-system nonsense is confusing. Haha xD

Elaina threw him a childish look, "Did you have a fun time in the shower?" She giggled, cueing him in that she'd heard his numerous songs. She grabbed the hair-dryer and straightner from out of the bathroom and returned to her spot close to Christien, plugging them into the wall. Even though her golden hair was really quite naturally straight it had a slight wave to it, and she liked to style her side-bangs, therefore she always straightened it.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah, it is, really. Most people find our system confusing xD

"I did, actually, thank you," Christien chuckled, running his fingers back through his already drying hair, to tousle it a bit. "Did you not like my singing?" Once he was done, he grabbed a remaining strawberry from the bowl from last night and bit into it.

 

[VideoStar95]

Haha A-Level? So..there's a B-Level and whatnot? Is that..like what grade/year you're in?

"No, I adored your singing." Elaina responded truthfully, quietly blow-drying her hair while running her fingers through the locks. "I always hum in the shower, but I didn't since you were in there. Now I know I can." She smiled and reached down to turn the straightner on, catching a glance at Christien while she did. "Oh, wow, don't you look handsome."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Ah, sorry. Excuse me, I have to go eat. Talk to you in a bit

 

[VideoStar95]

Same, except going to the mall. Tootles <3

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Alright, see you later, then Have fun.

No, I'm doing GCSEs at the moment, in Year 11 (equivalent 10th Grade). I don't know why the next stage up is called A-Level. It just is xD

"Oh, I'm glad," Christien replied, smiling slightly, sitting down on the bed and watched her get ready as he waited. "I'd love for you to hum when you're in the shower. I hope you do next time," he told her. He even blushed a little bit at her compliment, as a matter of fact. "Thank you. And you look beautiful, as always."

 

[VideoStar95]

Ah, I see. So you're apparently only one grade older than me. Which confuses me, but okay. Haha

Hello

"Thank you, Dear." Elaina hadn't noticed his blush, as she was too busy finishing off her styling job. "And I will hum --probably subconsciously-- just tell me if it get's beyond your tolerance." She smirked triumphantly at her reflection and turned off the straightner, slipping into some comfortable black flats and moseying over to where Christien was. "You ready?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Why? I'm 15, turning 16 next month, and you're 14, and not 15 until November, right? So I'm at least a year older than you.

Hola, Bonjour, Guten Abend, Salut.. Yeah. Hello How was the mall?

"You're welcome," Christien replier, finding his shoes and putting them on. He got up as she made her way over to him. He picked up the camera from the table and offered her his arm. "Perfectly ready, thank you," he replied with a smile. "I hope you are, it's a lot of stairs to the top," he chuckled, starting to lead her out of their room.

 

[VideoStar95]

Well, yes, but it seems like you've done so much more stuff school wise than me. Like French xD And yes, November

The mall was a'ight. I got three new shirts but they're a tad tight and over the summer I ate SO much junk food so, I gained, like, five pounds! -shot-

"I am definately not in that good of shape, but I'll try." Elaina told him, also smiling contently. It wasn't very true - Elaina, due to her intense years of tennis practice, was in marvelous shape, but she seemed to deny this every chance she got. She looped her arm within his and followed,tossing her head a bit to get all of her hair on one side. "I'm beyond excited!" She exclaimed loudly, as if having a sudden burst of anxious energy.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Oh, I missed the word "only" in that sentence xD I thought you meant you thought we would be in the same grade.

I think most US school start languages at the same time as most British schools. My school just thinks they're particular important, because of our strong exchange ties, which is awesome for me. And then other European countries start way before us.

Ah, you need it, Miss Size 0 Jeans xD I tend to lose more weight when I'm off school, I find I'm more food conscious because I make my own lunch as I'm home alone. And I get more hungry and tend to snack at school.

But I'm actually constantly losing weight at the moment, it's amazing.

"Well, if you're in such a state you can't go any further, I'll carry you," Christien chuckled. "But I'm not sure I believe you entirely, you seem athletic to me. And, I seem to remember despite already having a whole day out, and clubbing in the evening, that you still managed to keep going until way into this morning," he pointed out. He took her into the lift, and then through the lobby once they reached the ground floor. "You won't be disappointed. It's amazing. I've been many times, and I never get tired of it."

 

[VideoStar95]

Haha, no, I did realize you were at least one year older.

And ah, I wish it was like that here - I'd love to learn a lot of languages.

I do! xD Well..not really..but still. It's like my sides is where it is. That's where I gain weight unfortunately. And oh, I barely eat at school because of the little time and it's so early in the morning.

And ah, don't rub it in! xD

"You? Carry me? Up the stairs of the Eiffel Tower?" Elaina giggled, picturing it now and the abstract looks from random passerbys they would both receive. "You can just give me piggy-back ride." She joked, evidently bursting into giggles again, most likely picturing this as well. "And that is true. Just, stairs always get me for some odd reason. Going up-hill in any way is not my forte. How many times have you gone?" They exited the hotel and she picked one of the taxi's already waiting in front of the hotel.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

It's so annoying. I mean, my exchange partner has been learning English for about six years now. I wish I'd had an extra two years of French or an extra five of German ):

I know what you mean. I want to get rid of the weight on my hips because if I wear a top that goes over the top of my jeans noticably, I have these weird lumps, they look so strange xD

That's funny, actually, because one of my other friends from the US was saying how little lunch break they get. I think it's insane.

Oh, I intend to, I'm so happy about it. I hated being chubby xD

"I would if I had to. I ran up once. I was tired, but I did it," Christien chuckled. He thought about how many times he'd been up the Eiffel Tower. With friends, taking family members from outside Paris, for the heck of it.. "I must have been up at least twenty.. twenty one times. And I still love it. You see something different every time." He let her into the taxi, and then got in himself, asking the driver to take them to the Eiffel Tower.

 

[VideoStar95]

Grr! Same. I wish I learned French in, like, third grade. Haha Or at least sixth!

Haha i think they're called love handles.

And yeah, like twenty minutes -shot-

Haha I doubt you were really ever 'chubby'

"Is there anything specific or special I should notice?" Elaina asked him while marveling at how lucky he was to had gone twenty-one times. She'd probably only get to go up, at the most, twice during her stay - that is, unless she moved, but they had yet to discuss that fully.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I suppose that's true, at least I got to start four years ago.

Why are they called 'love' handles? I hate them so much xD

O: We get an hour.

No, I was, honestly. I did need to lose some weight. But it was actually mostly puppy fat, so it's all falling off. And I also suddenly became good at sport once I got to high school xD

"Well, I'll be able to point out a lot of famous monuments from there, that we'll also have to visit while you're here. You'll see where we were shopping yesterday, and the l'Arc de Triomphe just behind it. The Stade de France, for all the big sports events and concerts..Lots of things," Christien told her, smiling excitedly. It didn't take long to get to the Tower at all. The Taxi parked at the opposite side of the wide street that was in front of the Eiffel Tower. He first pointed out all of what was on the opposite side of the road. A large, beautiful park, a huge fountain in the centre. The point of Cleopatra's Obelisk poking out above the many trees. "I'll take you for lunch here someday while you're here. It's really lovely. Now, turn around." And there it was, the famous scene. The lines of trees, a garden od lush green grass, and the Eiffel Tower stretching up far above, into the cloudless blue sky.

Oh, gosh, I can see this scene in my mind like it was yesterday. I love Paris <3

 

[VideoStar95]

Grr. I hateyou. Haha

I have no idea whatsoever. But that's what they are called. Haha

BLAH! Lucky.

Puppy fat?! Lmfao. We call it 'baby' fat here. But I s'pose puppy works as well.

"Oh my." Elaina gasped, her hand fluttering to her agape mouth - something girls did when surprised for some random reason. Her eyes scanned the scene slowly, absorbing it all greedily. Once she finished, she went over it a second time, making sure nothing had changed or she was halucinating. "It's...it's...gorgeous here." Her mouth was finally, at least slightly closed but her eyes were still bright like a child's. "Quick!" She exclaimed, turning towards him, "Hand me the camera!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Sorry. For the French and the longer Lunch thing.

You think that's lucky, though. German school starts at 8:00 and ends at 1. And often gets called off earlier O:

It's going to be 100 crunchies every day from now on to get rid of them xD

Well, we call it either, really. Neither one is more correct than the other.

Christien had known she would like it. Probably nowhere near as much as she really did, but that was a really good thing to him. Some people just didn't appreciate things as beautiful as this. He smiled and handed her the camera, already giving it to her turned on, having anticipated that she may have asked for it.

Well, I should probably head off to bed. I'm hoping you have at least a half decent day tomorrow, anyway. G'night! <3

 

[VideoStar95]

Haha, it's okay.

WHA?! Ihatethem. Haha

Haha same with me! God, I hate them SO much.

Puppy fat...it sounds so cute.

Elaina took about a million pictures of what she was witnessing, from about a million different angles - a few panoramic as well. "I wish my parents and friends could see this first-hand." She thought outloud, placing the camera back in Christien's hands while she pursed her lips. "Oh well, they can deal with pictures." She grinned and took one last lingering glance at the view as a whole before holding her hand out to Christien for him to take.

G'night! <3
