"That John Laurens is gayer than a rainbow at a 70's party." Peggy said so easily I almost didn't believe she said it.
"How do you know?" I say, skeptical.
"This kinda stuff I'm good at. I'm gay. And your bisexual butt knows it too."
"Bisexual?" I tried to sound like I wasn't, but I knew it was true. Ever since grade school I had been eyeing and crushing on boys and girls. But that had been when I was back in the Caribbean.
"If you want help, tell him a compliment that implies you are open to loving boys." Peggy says. "But don't straight out say 'I'm bi'. Make him want to know who you are."
"What would I say?" I respond.
"That's up to you." Peggy left me standing outside the building, on the side of the school. Man, Peggy was cooler than ice. I trudged to my dorm, thinking of pick up lines I could say.
——-
I had finally picked a pick up line, after doing some research. After class, in the hall, I walk up to John and smile my best flirtatious smile.
"John, you're so smooth, peanut butter is jealous."
I wink and then cringe at my horrible pickup line while John laughed hard. I felt my face get hot.
"Wow, thanks," he said in between chuckles. "And to think my favorite food is jealous of me."
"Um, can I retry that?"
"Alex, you can't retry hitting on people..."
He smiled. Gosh, that smile could light up a universe.
"Ahh, a nice gay couple. I ship it." A medium French accent said behind me.
"Go away, Lafayette!" John said jokingly. I turn around and Gilbert, or Lafayette, was smirking. He was literally towering over me.
"H-hi." I stammered. I felt like he would pull out a baguette and start hitting me with it.
"No need to be scared, mon ami! I am Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de Lafayette, Marquis de Lafayette."
"Nice to meet you, Marie-Joseph Paul Yee- eves Roach... um... Gilbert, was it?" I was clearly struggling with his name.
He laughed hard. I bet he let people struggle with his name just for fun.
"Call me Lafayette, mon ami."
Then I said a string of words in French. He gasped and said something in French. And I responded. Basically:
You speak French?
Yeah.
Finally! Wanna be friends?
Why not?
We shook each other's hand, then I turn and look at John, who's face is twisted in confusion. Lafayette and I laughed heavily.
"Il est si désemparé!"
