Summary:

Of all the things that could have happened, Bridgette Dupain-Cheng living across from him might just be the worst.

OR

The Flipped (2010) AU I've been thinking about writing since I first saw the movie.

——————————

Of all the things that could have happened, Bridgette Dupain-Cheng living across from him might just be the worst. His family had only just moved in, and the moving van had barely rumbled to a stop before she appeared, trying to offer her help. She didn’t seem to notice that his father did not at all want her help, no matter how many times it was hinted that she should leave. To make matters worse, she kept trying to move all of his stuff, and she kept staring at him. It was horrible.

He thought that his chance to escape would come when his father nodded at him to help his mother, but she just followed him! Just as he was about to make it inside and slam the door in her face, his mother appeared. Of course, she didn’t know how annoying this girl was, so she asked for the girl’s name. “My name is Bridgette Dupain-Cheng. We live across the street!”

Fortunately, she was called back across the street and disappeared. Felix thought he would be free of her, but he wouldn’t be so lucky.

For the next six years, Bridgette kept following him around, trying to be friends with him. Even worse, she had a crush on him that she wouldn’t hide, no matter what. He had even caught her smelling him once, but nothing was discouraging her. Felix put all of his effort into avoiding her, but nothing worked. She didn’t get the message, just like she couldn’t take hints when he first moved in. 

She didn’t even care that her being weird was starting to affect his reputation. As if the sniffing incident wasn’t bad enough, she spent all her time up that stupid sycamore tree. Every morning, without fail, she would be up in the branches, narrating the bus's journey towards them. As if anyone cared. But she didn’t take any notice of the world around her, like it didn’t matter, even though it definitely did.

She finally backed off when he started dating Lila Rossi, but even that didn’t last. Especially when Lila found out that he was only dating her to keep Bridgette away, not because he actually liked her. Felix’s cheek still hurt from where she had slapped him before dumping him. That was the green light Bridgette had been waiting for, because she had returned to her usual annoying behaviour almost immediately after. She just wouldn’t leave him alone, and he was sick of it.

Then, her tree was cut down. The sycamore had been deemed a hazard and the council arrived to cut it down. Bridgette had perched herself in the tree, begging for it to be saved, but it was no use. The tree had to go. Despite Bridgette calling out to everyone, and to him especially, they all got on the bus, leaving her behind.

She didn’t come to school for a while after that, and even then, she was different. She stopped following him around, but now she was the one avoiding him. Surely, she wasn’t mad that he hadn’t tried to help her save the sycamore tree. It wasn’t even her tree!

And if he felt a little bit guilty, he wasn’t going to tell anyone. He would never hear the end of it.

He also wasn’t planning on telling anyone that he felt guilty about throwing her eggs away. His father was right; what if there was a chicken in one of them, or salmonella? Everyone could see what her house looked like, clear as day. Those eggs were a health hazard. 

It had nothing to do with the fact that her chickens had won first place in the science fair, even though she only won because they hatched when the judges were at her table. It was an unfair victory.

After throwing dozens of eggs away, Bridgette finally caught him. And it was right in the middle of another of her egg deliveries. She had demanded to know why he would throw perfectly good eggs away, yelling about how other neighbours paid for those eggs, but he couldn’t bring himself to say that he didn’t want to disappoint her by giving them back. He wished he had just given them back because watching her march back across the road was so much worse than her disappointment. 

He saw her even less at school, as if she was going out of her way to avoid him now. If he thought the aftermath of the sycamore tree was bad, this was so much worse. But he shouldn’t be complaining because this was what he had wanted ever since she appeared in the back of his moving truck. He had peace and quiet, yet it didn’t feel like a victory. It wouldn’t have even happened if she had just stayed away all those years ago, but no! She just couldn’t stop herself from being weird. And now, she had finally gotten the message, taken the hint, whatever. This is how everything should be.

Felix’s new, Bridgette-free, life continued for a while until he came home one day and saw his own grandfather helping in her family’s garden. He was laughing with Bridgette as they replanted flowers and pruned hedges, talking more to her in a few minutes than he had spoken to his family in the months he had lived with them. Why was this happening to him?

When his grandfather had asked him about Bridgette a while ago, he hadn’t thought anything of it. The story about her protesting the removal of the sycamore tree had made it to the papers, and his grandfather had asked about her. Felix said they had been in some of the same classes but left out the part about avoiding her. He had assumed that everyone knew how annoying Bridgette was by now, but his grandfather talked about inviting her over, as if associating with Bridgette Dupain-Cheng was anything other than a bad idea.

Yet, his grandfather was standing in the Dupain-Cheng garden, associating with Bridgette. And he was doing their yard work, probably for free! It wasn’t their job to fix someone else’s house, especially when they weren’t doing it themselves. Why was his grandfather going out of his way to help them?

He tried to say that to his grandfather but had gotten a lecture about not judging other people and being a good neighbour. Was it really so much to ask for that Bridgette stayed out of his life, just for a little while? Felix didn’t think he was asking for much, but even when she was avoiding him, he would hear about her and her family. One evening, his grandfather had even talked about how the Dupain-Cheng’s landlord was supposed to look after the gardens but didn’t and had talked about Bridgette’s uncle. All of it made Felix feel a little bad for being so rude to Bridgette for so long, especially about the eggs. He decided he was going to be nicer to her at school from now on. 

But, of course, it didn’t work out. Bridgette overheard him talking to one of his friends about her family. She told him about it when her family came over for dinner but didn’t say anything else about it. It seemed like the crush that she had on him for six years had vanished, leaving only indifference in its place. 

And that hurt more than Felix wanted to admit.

Bridgette’s indifference continued all the way up to the Basket Boy auctions. Felix had been selected as Basket Boy, and while he would normally have complained, he had heard that Bridgette had a lot of money with her, and he hoped that she would bid to spend time with him. 

But she didn’t. While he stood on stage with his basket of food, wearing a suit and feeling like an idiot, she bid on someone else. And won. Which meant that she wasn’t even going to bid on him. 

Even worse, Lila Rossi won his auction, which meant he was stuck with her for an entire lunch. A year ago, he would have been happy to have lunch with the most popular girl in their school, but now, she didn’t compare to Bridgette. What was wrong with him?

And now, here he was, sitting across from the most popular girl in school and wishing he was a few tables away, sitting across from Bridgette. She was laughing at something the boy in front of her had said, and Felix wished he was the one that made her laugh.

He stood up and walked over to her. “Bridgette. I need to talk to you.”

“I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Please?”

Bridgette looked at him for a moment, considering her options, before looking at the boy she was sitting across from. “I’ll be back in a moment.”

Felix led her away from the table, trying to think of what to say. There were so many words spiralling around in his head that he didn’t know where to start, so did the dumbest thing he could have done in that situation. He tried to kiss Bridget Dupain-Cheng. 

She leapt away from him, shocked. “What on earth are you doing?”

Before he could say anything, she ran out of the cafeteria as everyone watched in silence. He tried to follow her but was stopped near the bike racks by one of his friends. “Why would you try to kiss that weirdo?”

“I don’t think we need to be friends anymore.” Felix turned to keep running after Bridgette, but she was already gone, disappearing around the corner on her bike.

After school, Felix tried to go over to see Bridgette, but her mother said she wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to see anyone. Determined, he walked around the side of the house to where he knew Bridgette’s window was and tried to apologise, but she ignored him.

Whenever he got the chance, Felix tried to apologise. He went over to her house, he called, he sent letters. But he didn’t hear from her. Eventually, she must have gotten sick of him constantly trying to speak to her because she yelled at him to stay away from her, talking about how he was less than the sum of his parts, whatever that meant. Finally getting the hint, Felix decided to try something else.

A few days later, he was digging a hole in the Dupain-Cheng yard when Bridgette stormed out. She started yelling that she told him to leave her alone before realising what he was holding.

“Is that…”

“A sycamore tree. Do you want to help plant it?”

“Sure.”

And that was it. He and Bridgette planted the tree, kneeling side by side in the dirt, and all he could think about was how much his feelings had flipped since she first appeared in the back of that moving van.

Letter From Kagami to Chloe by @halcyyonn

Event prompt: Choose one character for you POV to write letters to a randomly selected second character to be the recipient.

----------------------------

To Miss Chloe Bourgeois,

My name is Kagami Tsurugi. I’ve been directed to write a letter to you as a part of a ‘Pen Pals’ program after a random distribution of pen pals. I assume you have also joined this program for one reason or another as I received your name and mailing address. Personally, Mother believes this will improve my social connections outside the fencing world, which will be of great importance later in life. Though I am expecting little or no response from you after hearing about the behaviour that has given you such a reputation, I would hope some part of you would see the importance of such a reply, despite our prior interactions.

Now that my introductions are largely finished, I will list some topics that I believe could make interesting conversational subjects. While there isn’t a lot we seem to have in common, I would like to suggest we begin a conversation about our pastimes outside of school. Following in the footsteps of many of my family, I spend many hours a week training in fencing. The reputation of the Tsurugi Family is important and I am determined to maintain it, just as I maintain my fencing abilities. I’m sure you have your own hobbies that require such dedication, but from our limited conversation, I was unable to tell what those were.

Outside of fencing, I know we are both around the same age which means we’re both in school. If you wish to speak about what we are learning in our respective lessons I will be more than happy to discuss the topics in future letters. Since I chose to speak about fencing I will allow you to choose whether you would like to speak about school.

From here, I have little else to say as the beginning of our acquaintance was less than positive and we know very little about each other, so I shall end this letter before it becomes dragging to read. If you find yourself obliged to reply, I’m sure you will have at least something to speak on. Thank you for your time if you read this letter so far.

Sincerely,

Kagami Tsurugi.
