You, Marjan, Phoebe |
Holly
I need you to be subtle about this mj, but check out the guy two rows back to our right
14:03
MJ THAT WAS NOT FUCKING SUBTLE
14:03
Marjan
What? The jocky looking douche?
14:04
Holly
Don’t you think he looks like Chants?
14:04
Phoebe
HOLY SHIT?!?!?! THERE’S A LE VOLE DOPPLEGANGER IN YOUR ANTHRO CLASS????
14:05
Holly
I DON’T THINK IT’S A DOPPLEGANGER
14:06
Phoebe
THE HOCKEY DUDE!!!
14:07
Marjan
Pheebs in the nicest possible way, YOU TWO HAVE MANY HOCKEY DUDES
14:07
Holly
I can’t stop looking at him
14:07
If it’s not le vole, it’s some motherfucker with the MOST ridiculous eyelashes
14:07
Marjan
For reference pheebs she’s being very unsubtle and I feel sorry for this random jock guy
14:08
It’s not one of your NHL players btw
14:08
Phoebe
HOW DARE YOU REFER TO LUC JACKSON CHANTAL AS “ONE OF OUR NHL PLAYERS” HE IS NOT ONE OF THEM HE IS THE ONE
14:09
Holly
He owns my heart.
14:09
AND HOW DO YOU KNOW IT ISN’T HIM MJ YOU DON’T EVEN CLAIM TO KNOW WHO HE IS
14:09
Phoebe
Can’t believe you’ve forgotten him. WE MADE YOU A SLIDESHOW ON HIM AND HIS HUSBAND
14:10
Marjan
I know it’s not one of your nhlers because
14:10
WTF WOULD AN NHLER BE DOING IN OUR ANTHRO CLASS
14:10
Holly
None of this lesson is going in btw
14:12
I googled luc and showed MJ his pics
14:12
Marjan
I do now vaguely remember the gay hockey player powerpoint
14:13
And will agree that Anthro-jock-dude looks a lot like him
14:13
Phoebe
I’m making you sit through the powerpoint again fyi
14:15
WHY AM I NOT THERE THOUGH!?!?!
14:15
Marjan
I’m sure Anthro-jock will appear again
14:16
Although maybe not if he doesn’t take any fucking notes!?!?! He deserves to get kicked out of the class. Also it is WAY fucking late in the semester to it be the FIRST TIME I’ve seen someone in class
14:16
Maybe he’s one of Dr B’s post-grads and sitting in to see if he wants to TA next year?
14:17
Holly
I want to take a photo of him but I can’t work out how to do it without being weird
14:18
OH MY GOD HE SAW ME ANGLING MY PHONE AT HIM AND HE FUCKING WINKED AT ME
14:20
Marjan
Holly is bright red pheebs.
14:20
RED LIKE A HOLLY BERRY
14:21
Holly
HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK!?!?!??!
14:36
Phoebe
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT ?????????????
14:36
Holly
So Dr B just asked if there were any Qs and he puts his hand up, and she goes “Really Luc?”
14:36
SHE CALLED HIM LUC!?!?!?!??!?!
14:36
Honestly, could have been either
14:37
And again. COUNTER PROPOSAL
14:38
Your nhl hockey player (who, wouldn’t he be playing hockey rn???) would NOT have been able to ask THAT kind of question about different dating methodologies
14:38
Phoebe
HIS TEAM JUST GOT KICKED OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE HIS HUSBAND IS INJURED OK
14:38
Marjan
BUT WHAT WOULD HE BE DOING IN ANTHRO 1301?!?!?!
14:39
ASKING INTELLIGENT FUCKING QUESTIONS ABOUT ARCHEOLOGY DATING METHODS?
14:39
Holly
Whoever he is, (luc Chantal, he’s luc Chantal) he doesn’t need any dating methods with those eyelashes
14:40
Phoebe
I THOUGHT WE AGREED DATING METHOD JOKES WERE TACKY
14:41
Holly
I’m sorry, I can’t help myself. I’M BRAIN ADDLED BY MY PROXIMITY TO MY HERO
14:41
Phoebe
ALSO I would like to point out, he’s from round here…
14:42
Although that doesn’t explain why he’s in Anthro
14:42
Marjan
My future TA theory still feels sensible
14:43
Holly
I FEEL LIKE I WOULD HAVE NOTICED A LUC CHANTAL TWIN IN THE ANTRHO DEPT BEFORE NOW!?!?!?
14:43
Although if he is the TA next year I’m deliberately failing so I can retake…
14:43
Phoebe
I mean, if he looks as much like him as you are suggesting… I might switch majors…
14:44
Marjan
THAT CANNOT BE A HOCKEY PLAYER BECAUSE EVEN I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND THAT QUESTION
14:46
Holly
I’m so glad you said that
14:46
Because I was wondering if I was seriously dense
14:46
Phoebe
Fake!luc asking more Qs?
14:47
Holly
HE’S NOT FAKE but yes
14:47
And then Dr B was all “I appreciate the relevance Luc, but because of the exact methodology being used being so similar to things we’ve already studied, I don’t want to go into too much detail right now, please stop trying to confuse my undergrads”
14:48
Marjan
WHICH LENDS MORE WEIGHT TO MY POSTGRAD THEORY
14:49
Phoebe
Why would a postgrad even be asking questions in an undergrad lecture tho?
14:49
Holly
Adhd? He doesn’t seem to be good at sitting still THAT IS FOR SURE
14:49
Marjan
Lbr here, Holly would ask questions in ANY LECTURE SHE WERE PRESENT FOR
14:50
Holly
You say that, but I am WRACKING MY BRAIN trying to think of an excuse to go up to Dr B at the end of the lecture so I can subtly check him out from up front to see if it REALLY IS HIM
14:50
Because I AM LIKE 99% SURE IT IS
14:50
Phoebe
Fuck it. I’m sneaking out of Russian Lit and camping outside your lecture hall and seeing if I can spot him as he walks out.
14:51
Marjan
YOU’RE BOTH INSANE
14:51
Holly
DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
14:51
Holly packs up her books in a scramble, she’s probably left some behind, but MJ can pick them up for her, careening down to the front of the lecture hall.
There is, unfortunately, as per usual, a queue for Dr Bouchard, but Holly spends her time looking at Luc. It’s definitely Luc. Even though she’s further away, she’s spent enough time watching his pressers that she recognises the lazy slouching way that he sits.
If it’s not him, it’s someone really really like him.
Marjan joins her in the queue eventually, passing over her headphones which must have fallen out of her bag in her mad scramble.
“I’m telling you Marj,” Holly whispers, “It’s fucking him.”
“Whoever it is.” Marjan turns to stare at him, “It’s kind of weird he’s not like, getting ready to go or anything.”
Holly can’t stop staring, so she doesn’t realise that Dr Bouchard has dealt with everyone else and she’s the only person left in the queue until Marjan elbows her and Dr Bouchard says
“What is it Holly?”
Holly forgets every made-up reason she’d had for coming to approach Dr Bouchard, she forgets everything that she’s ever learnt about anthropology and archaeology and to her horror what comes out is “Why is Luc Chantal in our lecture?”
Dr Bouchard rolls her eyes, mystery man cackles. Cackles.
“Luc,” Dr Bouchard beckons him, “Is my errant son, returned a little early from work and driving his husband insane by having too much energy, so I agreed to take him to work with me for the day.”
Luc holds out a fist and fist-bumps Holly, “I always wanted to see what maman’s lectures were like really.”
It’s definitely him. It’s 100% him.
“I…” Holly blinks a couple of times, “I’m sorry about your season,” she eventually says, “And also your husband.”
Luc shrugs easily, “Next year,” he says, “Besides, apparently it’s nice to give other people a run at the cup every now and then.”
“Wait,” Marjan turns to him, “Are you really the hockey player she’s just spent the last hour trying to convince me you are?”
“Uh, probably?” Luc grins, it’s the most beautiful smile Holly’s ever seen in her life. It’s even more beautiful in person. “You want an autograph?” He pats his sweatpant pockets, “I’ve got some cartes des hockey somewhere?”
Dr Bouchard, apparently Luc Chantals fucking MOM sighs and pulls some out of her laptop case, along with a Sharpie.
“Could you sign one for our friend?” Holly asks, “She’s like, a huge diques fan, and she’s actually outside.”
“Oh for sure bro,” Luc grins, “I’ll wait for you outside Maman.”
“I… uh…” Holly forgets how to communicate as they start walking towards the door, “Phoebs is going to lose her shit.”
Luc snorts, “Lead the way.”
Phoebe, as predicted, loses her shit.
