"le chien est mignon" milo read the words from a sheet of paper

"the.... dog. Is... small?" I asked confused

"close, the dog is cute" he announced while I groaned

"I hate French so much"

"it doesn't seem to like you well either" Gwen said from the other side of the table reading making me glare at her

"iris is getting there. now she knows what dog means" milo pointed out. we were all still on break, but milo figured that I should start learning French now since I was already so far behind so he's been tutoring me for the past six days at the beach saying that the scenery should relax me, but I feel that this is only cause he wants to be near the ocean. that and Gwen said that she wasn't going to come to the pack house every day since milo asked her to come to these sessions too for some reason

"only took her a couple of years" Gwen smirked

"if my claws could touch you" I growled just before another seagull flew by to the nearby trash can

"and would you damn birds go away" I shouted using my alpha voice scaring most of them off. we were pretty much the only people on our side of the beach so it was fine

"and... their back" Gwen said just as they flew back and I groaned

"excuse me but can you please leave?" milo asked the birds

"that's not going to-" I started while the birds kept making noise

"no there's actually more trash with better food up the beach" he told the birds who started squawking at him in a more pattern manner getting my attention

"yes, you should hurry before someone tries to take it away" he told them and they started flying off

"be careful for bottle ties" he shouted after them

"......what was that?" Gwen asked confused

"I just asked them to leave" milo announced

"I thought you only cared and talked to sea creatures" I pointed out

"sea gull" he pointed out and I rolled my eyes

"and I can talk to all animals, and as far as chicken goes their all stupid" he announced while I shook my head at the new knowledge. at least that's a load off my mind

"now, Puis-je avoir plus de nourriture" he asked me in French. Look like our little break was over

Over the time milo was teaching French, I've realized by now how relatively easy it was. I could read everything fine the only things I needed to understand was the meaning of the words and milo made it easy to understand I just hate having to translate it to English in my head. he gave me a worksheet that he found online a while ago and he was grading it now......yeah I'm not going to think too hard about how sad this is

"how'd I do?" I asked noticing he was done

"good, you got and 85" he announced while I smiled

"fuck you" I exclaimed happily at Gwen. She said that I wouldn't get higher than a 60

"couldn't get a-" she started

"nope not even going to listen I'm a genius. and I'm done with this shit for the day" I sighed stretching before looking down at milo

"you should get a swim in before we leave" I pointed out

"you two want to come with me this time?" he asked curious
