How does Victor affect the setting when he pretends to know French?
The teacher becomes angry.
The class laughs at his words.
Teresa thinks he is a fool.
The classroom becomes silent.
Mr. Bueller asked if anyone knew French. Victor raised
his hand, wanting to impress Teresa. The teacher beamed
and said, "Très bien. Parlez-vous français?"
Victor didn't know what to say. The teacher wet his lips
and asked something else in French. The room grew
silent. Victor felt all eyes staring at him. He tried to bluff
his way out by making noises that sounded French.
"La me vava me con le grandma," he said uncertainly.
Mr. Bueller, wrinkling his face in curiosity, asked him to
speak up.
Great rosebushes of red bloomed on Victor's cheeks. A
river of nervous sweat ran down his palms. He felt awful.
Teresa sat a few desks away, no doubt thinking he was a
fool. Without looking at Mr. Bueller, Victor mumbled,
"Frenchie oh wewe gee in September."
