"Fake Mascot." Margot sighs, "Weren't you listening? We get our real ones at graduation."
Youtube Academy (WARNING: Gore and swearing!!!)
Sam looked at Margot with a look of shock on her face. Sam was so close to slapping her. "Fake or not you should never treat it as anything else." Sam said angrily. "You should treat it as your real one!"
"That's not what I meant!" Margot groans, "I just meant I'm never going to understand him!"
Sam calmed down after that. "You learn to understand him through his gestures and actions." Sam explained. "I know you'll never really be able to understand them but it's close enough."
You guys argue a lot for friends. The Septiceye nestles back down into Margot's lap.
Sam looked at the Septiceye. "I know but it's been a stressful day." Sam said with a sigh.
"The flower crown looks cute, Ryder." Margot compliments, smiling at Ryder's Septiceye.
"Thank you." Ryder signed, giving a true smile. "Patton, my dad's morality, taught me how to make them."
"I know who Patton is, silly!" Margot laughs jokingly, "Your dad and my dad know each other."
Ryder tilted his head, he was a sheltered kid who really only grew up with people like Joan and Tayln. "They do?"
"Well, yeah." Margot chuckles, "Actually…" She looks at Sam and Ryder.
"Our parents were…are…such good friends. how come we've never met before?" She asks.
"For me, it was probably for mental health reasons." Ryder signed before going to make another flower crown.
"Literally everybody in this school has mental health problems." Margot says, "So it's not that. And my dad and Sam's dad are best friends, and we've never met."
Ryder shrugged, handing them both little flower bracelets that were purple and red. "Not sure."
"Aww, thanks." Margot smiles and gives Ryder a friendly kiss on the cheek.
Sam nodded, confirming the fact that Margot and her had never met. "Mental health is probably a big reason why we didn't met." Sam said as she stroked Violet. "If we don't have control over our powers or alters than that could be a problem."
"I know, but it still seems a little odd…" Margot hums thoughtfully.
Ryder shrugged, opening his mouth to actually speak. "No idea." He said in a hoarse voice, he hadn't talked to anyone this week.
Margot stared at him in shock. "You liar, you said you were mute!" She giggled, playfully smacking his shoulder, "Selective mutism is different, silly."
"I am mute, most of the time. My vocal cords are a bit damaged from an accident so I can only talk a bit." he explained through sign.
"What accident?" Margot asks concernedly, scooting closer to Ryder.
(It's a little sad how oblivious Ryder is…)
"Rather not talk about it." He muttered, already regretting speaking. Patton said it was totally fine if he didn't want to talk, Virgil said it was scaring enough, Logan said that not speaking about ir could help forget it.
"Course." Margot lays her hand on Ryder's shoulder comfortingly. "I've had some pretty bad shit happen to me too."
"Oh yes, I had ment to ask about what happened earlier. What happened? Did you get called by your parents name too? Did your alters take over? Are you all alright? Is your brother okay?"
Sam stared at Ryder. "That's fine." She said. "You do you." She said raise her hands up. "Margot. What is he saying?" She asked.
"Actually, yeah…One of the nurses called Tim Mark…and he's asking what happened earlier…Tim'll be fine." Margot explains, switching from Ryder, to Sam, then back to Ryder.
"I just still don't get it….somethings up that the adults won't tell us about." Margot mutters.
Don't be sad! The Septiceye jumped off of Margot's lap and started running in circles. Don't be sad, look at me!!
"Like what?" Sam asked petting Violet. She hadn't had anything weird happen except for the Anti attack.
"Well, Tim looks nothing like dad, and from what I've seen from Thomas Sanders, neither does Ryder…" Margot explains, "Don't you think that's a little weird?"
