Chapter 19: French Class

Chapter 19

During breakfast, I asked, "So, Adam, what is your family like? Do you have any brothers and sisters?"

Adam sighed, "I have 3 brothers and 1 sister, the eldest one is 22, named, Ace, he is about 6'2 tall, he takes mostly after our mother with golden-brown hair and yellow-blue eyes. Ace is currently working for my father. The second oldest brother is 19 and called, Aiden, he is about 6 feet tall, he looks like a blend of both my parents with, blond hair, and brown eyes, he is in college. The third eldest brother is named, Alec, he is 17 about 6'3 or 6'4, he looks like my grandfather with auburn hair, and green eyes, Alec is in Senior year high school. I am the 2nd youngest child at 14 and take after my father. My little sister, Alice, is the youngest at 12, she is a pretty young lady with my father's black hair and my mother's eyes, yellow-blue, she is in 7th grade. My mother is about, 5'5 with blond hair and yellow-brown eyes, she used to be a model, she now has her own modeling agency. My father is 6'5 maybe 6'6, with black hair and light brown eyes, he is a powerful businessman. That is my family. Any other questions?"

I nodded, "Yeah one more, why don't you talk about them?"

Adam sighed, "I don't get along with them ever since they found out I was gay."

I raised my eyebrows, "They don't like you because you are gay?"

Adam sighed, again, "Yes, they wanted to marry me off to another wealthy business man's daughter, but they couldn't because I'm gay, and they didn't want to force me. Also, because the other family didn't want me after they found out about my sexuality."

I stared at Adam for a second, "At least they didn't try to make you marry another girl even if you are gay, right? They at least respect your sexuality."

Adam nodded, "In some ways, they were good parents, in other ways they weren't." His eyes flickered to the clock, 7:59, "Oh god, we're going to be late!" He hurried to his bedroom, shouting, "Go brush your teeth, I'll go after you. Hurry up!"

I scrambled to the bathroom, brushing my teeth, I thought about Adam's family, we're they going to be mean to Adam when he goes back to visit? What would they think about me? Why couldn't they just facetime us or something, instead of wasting money on a plane ticket for me? Damn, rich people, a plane ticket must be like pocket change to them. Sigh, I spit out the toothpaste before swishing water around my mouth.

After I finished, Adam yanked open the bathroom door and kicked me out.

I changed my clothes and grabbed my backpack and walked out of the room, wait...I forgot my essay, I hurried back into my room, I grabbed my essay, looking at the title, just to make sure it was the right one, before stuffing it into my binder.

I went to the front door putting on my shoes I waited for Adam, a second later he was hurrying out, yanking on his shoes, he pulled me out the door, Thomas was waiting for us.

I speed walked to my locker, quickly dialing in the numbers, and shoving my books into it, I clicked it shut. I quickly got to class, ding-ding, thank god, I made it.

During French class, our teacher made us practice with one another. Practicing greetings and introductions, which meant we needed to say something about ourselves. Ms.Berger chose our partners using draw sticks, she had one for each period she taught.

Ms.Berger said, "Adam and Luke."

I walked over to Luke's desk from the front of the room, sitting down next to it. He sat down beside me, he said in a deep voice, "Let's begin, I will introduce my self first. French: Bonjour je m'appelle Luke Aubert. J'ai cinq frères et un chien. Pouvez-vous vous présenter, s'il vous plaît?" Translation: (Hello, my name is Luke Aubert. I have five brothers and a dog. Can you introduce yourself, please?)

I answered, "Oui. Je m'appelle Adam Darkwater. J'ai un frère jumeau, je peux faire des arts martiaux et je suis le capitaine du Martial Arts Club." Traslation: (Yes. My name is Adam Darkwater. I have a twin brother, I can do Martial Arts and I am the Captain of the Martial Arts Club.)

Luke nodded, "Did you take French in middle school? You are very good at it."

I smiled, "Thanks, I had nothing to do last year and every year, so I just reviewed a bunch of French words."

Luke nodded, "Want to continue the conversation in French or English?"

I shrugged, "Both, I might not know some words, I'll just say them in English."

Luke nodded, "Alors, tu as un jumeau? Quel est son nom?" Translation: (So, you have a twin? What is his or her's name?)

I replied, "Oui, j'ai une jumelle, son nom est Avery. Tu as trois frères? Quels sont leurs noms?" Translation: (Yes, I have a twin, her name is Avery.You have three brothers? What are their names?)

Luke replied, "Leurs noms sont Gabriel, qui est le plus âgé à 21 ans, Paul, qui est le deuxième plus jeune à 18 ans, et Victor, qui est le troisième plus âgé à 16 ans." Traslation: (Their names are Gabriel, who is the oldest at 21, Paul, who is the second youngest at 18, and Victor, who is the third oldest at 16.)

I smiled, "Agréable. Quel est le nom de votre chien?" Traslation: (Nice. What is your dog's name?)

Luke smiled, "Baldoin. Vous pouvez faire des arts martiaux?" Baldoin means 'brave friend' in French. Translation: (You can do Martial Arts?)

We spent the rest of the period getting to know each other while talking in French.

The Martial Arts Club went the same as it always did, Alex annoyed me, Mark and Shane asked for some pointers, and William was always brooding.

When I got home Adam was talking on the phone, "Yes mom, we will come on November 25, I promise." Click.

I stared at him, "What was that about?"

Adam shrugged, "My mom wanted to know when to book the tickets for us."

I nodded, "Okay, is there any food in the fridge?"

Adam sighed, "Sometimes, I really think you might actually be a guy. Yes, there is food in the fridge, I'll be in my room if you need anything."

I nodded, "Thanks, Adam."

After eating, I took a shower and brushed my teeth, I collapsed onto my bed, smiling, I think I might have a new friend, rolling over, I grabbed my book, reading I fell asleep.

And thus, ended my day.
