Hamilton Mullette ~ Love Has It's Own Language [WATTY'S 2017]

Chapter 1- French to English/ Vise Versa

There are a LOT of French Phrases. I don't want to translate them because most of them contain Easter eggs throughout the story that you'll have to go to google for. For example

"I am your father," could be in french and you'd have to translate into English to see the Easter egg.

Hercules paused for a second. "Excuse me? You want me to talk to the new kid?—Why?" He asked, confused.

The teacher pushed up his glasses. "Nobody will hang around him! We need that tuition money, you know?"

Hercules sighed, and sat his bag next to his desk. He then got up, and headed towards the new kid. Hercules put his hands on the table and looked down at the sitting student.

Marquis looked up, puzzled. "Excusé-moi?" He asked, softly. Hercules knew what he meant because it sounded like the English term.

"The name's is Herc," he said with a small smile. Marquis looked around very confused. "Je ne pas comprend," he said. "Herc?" He said slowly after.

"Do you speak any English?" Hercules was confused. "Hello, goodbye, where your American money, non, oui?" He said, carefully, pronouncing all the words wrong.

"I guess not, then. I'll be right back," he motioned and said. He came back with a French to English book that was on the Teacher's shelf.

"Jee sooeys Herc," he tried. Marquis laughed so hard. "Je suis Marquis!" He held a huge smile. The teacher was smiling from the distance at the two ACTUALLY talking.

"Cohmunt kah vah!" Herc confidently smiled.

"Vous mean comment ça va! Vous avez drôle!" Marquis laughed. "What are you drawing?" Hercules pointed to the paper on his desk.

Marquis held it up shyly. It was a drawing of a baguette. "Baguette," he died laughing in his best English accent. Hercules died as well. They both sat there laughing. "Okay, You two, class is about to start. Sit down," the teacher smiled.

The two sat down and make smiley faces at each other from the other side of the room.

It was lunch time and the two sat down together. Alex and John sat down. "Hey, men of America. Who's this?" John smiled.

"Bonjour! Je m'appelle Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du montier de Lafayette, Marquis de Lafayette!" He smiled. "Oh, c'est Genial! Tu parle Français!" Alex responded. "Je m'appelle Alex. C'est John," at the sound of John's name, John let out a wave.

"I've been using Mr.Seabury's French book for part of the day, but I had to leave it there. Now I can barely understand him!" He complained. Marquis looked around. "Je ne pas comprend!" He reminded Hercules.

Hercules looked at Alex. "He said he has no idea what you're talkin' about," Alex chimed. Hercules smiled. "Jee sooeys Hercules," He said randomly. It's all he knew. Marquis laughed and hugged him quickly.

"Do French people like to hug?!" John said excitedly. Hercules responded with,"I guess so," as Marquis pulled away. The french man still held a huge grin.

"So, guys! Winter Ball comin' up. See any girls ya like?" Alex grinned. Marquis looked confused again. " Toutes les filles que vous avez vos yeux?" Alex repeated but in French. "Bien pas exactement," Marquis blushed.

Alex laughed. "You'll find him, man." He purposely didn't say it in french. Marquis understood man, but wasn't big on the other words. "Je suis man!" He smiled.

John giggled and Hercules laughed.
"Anyways, I wanted to know if you, Alex, would like to go as friends," John smiled. "Oh, sorry, man. I'm going with Eliza," He frowned. John's smile turned into a frown, and slight tears appeared in his eyes. "Oh, that's fine!" He faked a smile. "You know, I have to go to the bathroom. Be right back!"

John walked off, blinking his eyes a thousand times. He opened the door to the restroom and looked in the mirror. "Man, John, You almost had him. Of course, Eliza is always in the way. I love her like a sister, it's just I wanted to go with Alex. So, so, badly." He then realized he said all of that out loud.

He checked under the bathroom stalls for feet. He saw no one. He sighed with relief. He looked down at his feet in the room. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He jerked his hand around to see Marquis.

"Oh, Frenchie!" John turned around to face Marquis. "Alex t'aimes!" He grinned. "Huh?" John asked. "Told Friends Le American,'BRB!" He smiled. Marquis grabbed his hand and they stood at the side of the table. Alex and Hercules looked at them. The two sat down.

"Hercules! Brb!" Marquis said, giving him a hug, and running off. "I don't think he knows what that means," John said after a bit of silence.

"Yeah, I wish he'd stop giving me hugs. It's so girly," Hercules chuckled, throwing food into his mouth. "You don't think-" Alex said. Hercules cut him off. "No way," he chuckled again.
