My shot!

"Alec-Alec!" Laffe yanked on Alex's grimy cream colored shirt-sleeve. Alex spun around to him.
"It's Alex." He explained kindly. "And what?"
"Burr m'a dit que vous parliez français! Est-ce vrai ou non?" Laffe took a deep breath, he was speaking very quickly. "Si vous pouvez juste hocher la tête et puis répéter ce que je dis en anglais!"
Alex nodded, and Laffe grinned. "Uh- okay the first part is Burr, obviously. Burr told me you speak french, is that true or no? And the last part is-huh- If you can just nod your hello and- no- not hello, head! And repeat what I'm saying in English!" 
"Burr! Tu avais raison! Oh, je suis si heureux que j'ai finalement un traducteur! Merci au seigneur, oh mon Dieu, c'est le meilleur jour jamais je ne pense pas que j'ai jamais été plus heureux, sauf pour quand ma mère m'a acheté ces nouvelles chaussures glorieuses! Ils étaient merveilleux! Je ne les ai plus, boueux, puis perdus. Oh yay!" Laffe yelled, running in circles in the living room of Burr's house.

Alex frowned. "I don't know that much, especially that fast. I'm sorry.""Non! Non! It's alright! D'accord?" Laffe asked the last part in french."Okay." Alex responded in English, the two boys were happy. Then Alex got an idea. "Laffe!" He yelled in his excitement. Laffe didn't hear him over the sound of Hercules and John wrestling, Burr was watching and cheering and booing the whole time. "Burr! Shut up!" Alex shouted. Burr looked at the ground.

"Sorry." He muttered.

"Whatever- I'm trying to talk to Laffe and can't because you are loud." Alex looked more annoyed than he was, so Burr shut up and didn't make another peep for a while. Then Alex looked at Laffe. "What if we do a series- or a semester- of classes together and be the professors of a class teaching French to the other young gents and women.""I didn't get much of that." Laffe admitted. "What if we teach a french class in preK with Mr.Wash?" He translated it."Oui! Yes! That sounds exquisite!" Laffe used the only big word he knew."And I can teach you big English words!"Alex exclaimed. Alex glanced over his shoulder at the wrestling match, but his glance turned into a stare as it was set up rather oddly. Burr was lying flat on the ground, his head looking at the two boys, Hercules was mounted atop John, and John was flailing about underneath him.

"One! Two! Three! And the winner is, Hercules Mulligan! The man who needs no introduction!" Aaron yelled, he was on his feet in a matter of seconds, and so was Hercules. Hercules held out his hand to help John up, John slapped his hand away angrily and ignored him for most of the rest of the night.
