Chapter 18: Does this make me gay??
Zory's POV
I barely contained the shock from the past 2 minutes when Monsieur Étienne Lefèvre's (not-so-cute-at-the-moment) voice cut through my thoughts.
"D'accord, mes royaux. Have you all typed your animal? Allez-y… Answer ze questions."
Well, since I forgot my phone, I was left to do nothing—and this time I wasn't so mad about it. Maybe because I'm mad about something else. Or because it bought me time to further process my thoughts after Monsieur Étienne Lefèvre interrupted the first time.
Now I'm stunned. What am I even pissed about?? He was probably being considerate. Was he the reason I forgot my phone? Maybe, but still doesn't give me the opportunity to inconvenience him on my part.
"When I'm done I'll give you, don't worry, I'll be quick,"
Danielle said, interrupting—like I didn't know that's what would happen.
After a minute that felt like a long, boring while since I had zoned out, she passed me her phone.
The screen lit up and I found myself looking at the back. This is the phone I typed my number in... I think.
I dismissed the thought and focused on the screen staring directly at me.
INTP...
"Pick an animal that you feel resonates more with you out of the Chosen ones for your MBTI:"
Koala – Cool on the outside, emotionally deep underneath
Dragon – Fiercely independent and quietly intense
Chameleon – Constantly shifting roles, evolving and changing
After quietly thinking for a while, I chose Chameleon, because how did I go from a shoe shop girl to a princess overnight??
Screen lights up
Confirmation test.
Which best describes how you handle change?
A) I adapt quickly but don't always show how I feel. [tick]
What role do you usually take in a group?
B) I observe more than I lead, but I jump in when needed. [tick]
How do you express emotions?
C) I internalize first, share later—if at all. [tick]
Final result: Yes, your MBTI animal is the "Chameleon"
"Generate image or retake test??"
I raised my head only to lock eyes with Monsieur Étienne Lefèvre. Before I could look away, he spoke.
Seems like he was waiting on me to finish the test so he could begin—who knows how long and how many people noticed.
I feel a slight form of anxiety spiraling, then a hand on my hip.
I looked to my side to see Danielle mouthing the words, "breathe."
How could she tell?
Ohh—she has anxiety too.
And once again, Monsieur Étienne Lefèvre interrupts.
"Alors, before or while you generate ze images, I would like to use our prince, princesses, and président as demo… Prince Daniel, will you do us ze honours first, s'il te plaît?"
"Let me generate mine, screenshot and send it to my tab so you can use my phone," Danielle spoke to me in a soft tone that gave me an epiphany of the shivers I had in the garden that night.
It was then I realized I also didn't stop at my locker, so I forgot to bring my tab along too.
"Oui, Monsieur," Daniel spoke with grace as he stepped up.
"When I tapped the 'my animal' icon, I wasn't expecting much. I saw three different animals with descriptions..."
"S'il vous plaît, read ze animals and ze descriptions," Monsieur Étienne Lefèvre—talented at interrupting—added.
ISFJ Options:
Dog – Loyal, warm, dependable
Lamb – Soft soul, wants peace, not chaos
Deer – Observant and quietly worried about everyone
"I picked the Deer, because why not," the class chuckled a bit, and he continued.
"I took the test..."
"Et les questions du test, prince. Continue," Monsieur Étienne Lefèvre interrupted again, and I felt my anger erupting too.
Maybe I was just transferring the aggression from all that happened.
But Prince Daniel continued:
How do you handle group conflict?
A) I try to keep the peace, even if it means staying quiet. [tick]
What makes you feel useful?
B) Supporting others behind the scenes. [tick]
What do you avoid the most?
C) Disrupting tradition or stability. [tick]
"...So yeah, turns out I was right and the Deer is my MBTI family. Can't wait to draw it."
I heard claps that sounded like music.
One of my favorite features of the school is their coordination.
Ana stood up this time, and Danielle was already done generating hers and handed the phone to me to do the same.
Just like Daniel, Ana said the same thing—but different, if you know what I mean.
ENTJ Options:
Lion – Confident, bold, naturally commanding
Tiger – Strategic, calculated strength
T-Rex – An unstoppable force when she wants something done
Ana's test questions:
In a crisis, what's your role?
A) I take charge. [tick]
What motivates you?
B) Goals and getting things done. [tick]
How do others usually describe you?
C) Assertive—even intimidating. [tick]
It was Danielle's turn. She stood up and went forward like the rest.
"I initially picked Chameleon and took the test. Turns out that ain't me. Then I picked Koala and took the test."
INTP (Danielle's final) – Koala
How do you recharge after stress?
A) Alone, in quiet. [tick]
What's your emotional instinct?
B) Retreat and reflect. [tick]
What scares you most?
C) Letting people in. [tick]
"And that was my MBTI animal. Thank you."
"Fun fact: Koalas go to sleep after a rejection—no effort added. They just let their love go down the drain," Ana added.
Somewhere between all that was happening, my MBTI animal had already generated. Out of boredom, I wandered off the app to the contact log for some reason.
Searched my number—and it popped up.
Saved as: "My red-head."
Shocked and curious, I went to El-chat to see my contact pinned.
Opened the chat, only to find out...
My prince charming was the princess after all.
