Of course you do, Marky, I’m your favorite. Kidding but I think if I started a petition, I’d get laughed at.

Prob’ly. No one takes tha’ shit seriously. People jus’ sign tha’ Colby chick’s petitions ‘cause she’s hot.

“Sometimes, I wish we had uniforms because I spend so much time picking outfits and trying to choose between what to wear that it drives me crazy.”

Hate t’ say it, b’ I agree.

Ivy smiled and rolled her eyes at Mark, finishing the last pile to place into her bag before she zipped it up securely. “If you ever need Spanish help, just go to the one who helped you a bit with English in high school. This girl,” She wiggled her hands as she pointed to herself. When she heard what he called her, she playfully pouted, “I’m not a kid, I have one now, and not in the dumb prank way I did back then, but I’m great. My schedule’s hectic but I think I’m used to it by now. What’s up with you?”

He held up his hands as he sat on a desk, offering her a wordless apology. She was right, she wasn’t a kid anymore. None of them were but she’d seemingly grown up well. “Wow, a real kid?” he asked, genuinely surprised. “Who’s the lucky guy?”

Reaching in his pocket he fished out his phone and thumbed through it quickly, “Here’s mine.” Holding out the phone, he smiled softly at his school friend, amused that this was the point they were at in their lives.

I really just don’t see why people would come back. This place did nothin’ good for me.

You’re not wrong, it’s me.

Well, when y’ have a kid it’s nice t’ come back an’ visit th’ folks.

Hard t’ recognize y’ without the pom poms on y’ hips an’ a judgy look comin’ m’ way. How y’ been?

My old street seriously looks the same. It’s weird. The only difference is the McGreggor’s house apparently burnt down a couple years ago. But, like, I took a drive down Main Street; and I swear every fucking store is the same as it was when we were teens… Well except Graziella’s wasn’t there back then; but you know what I mean.

I do, yeah. Forgot how quiet it was t’. Totally wen’ by Dewey’s, though, ‘cause how couldn’ I ,righ’?

Has me kinda wishin’ life were this simple again.

It’s so weird being back here, I haven’t been on this coast since… I graduated actually.

It’s been...almos’ a year f’ me, I thin’.

Correc’ me if I’m wron’, but, Quinn?

She’s seven, actually… And I almost had to cancel my plans to come since our babysitter backed out last minute. But my parents said they’d watch the kiddos; so Bash could tag along to the reunion. I’m kinda really looking forward to seeing everyone again. It’s been so fucking long.

No, don’ say tha’.

It has been t’ long. Funny how th’ town ain’t changed a bit. It’s like a time warp.

Speaking of Thisbe and Harmony, how are they doing?

Oh, everything’s going pretty great. My company’s doing really well; and the minions really just need to stop growing up so fast. They gotta stay my little babies forever.

This is doin’ good. She’s been in th’ studio a lot.

Righ’? Harm is runnin’ around, talkin’ like a real human, it’s too much. If she makes me feel old then y’r kids make me feel ancient. Blair’s like, wha’? Six? I ‘ave to say, though, I’m surprised y’re back. Thought f’ sure y’ were t’ big time for a Roseboro reunion.

amazing-gracelyn:

You know I would’ve stopped by, Mark; but I ended up spending most of my free time in the hotel room taking care of a sick toddler.

Believe me, I much rather have been able to actually enjoy the trip.

I know, I know. ‘m glad y’ gave me a heads up. This would’ve killed m’ if I brought Harmony back sick.

Sorry. How’s everythin’, Grace? How’re the kids?

Ivy gathers up the graded papers on her desk, separating the last of the pile into organized and specified manila folders before storing them away in her bag. She was still in the process of packing up her things for the end of the school day when she heard footsteps approaching inside of her classroom. “I’m sorry, I’m pac-” She paused mid sentence when she glanced up to see who it was, “..Oh, look what the cat dragged in. What are you doing here?”

He grinned as she glanced up, straightening from where he leaned against the door frame. “Seein’ if I suck a’ Spanish as much as English.” Stepping inside, he looked around, recalling a class he had in this room his sophomore year. It felt like a lifetime ago. “How’re y’ doin’ kid?”

amazing-gracelyn:

It honestly feels so weird being in Roseboro after all these years. I think the last time I was in town was for the opening of my storefront…

An’ the last time y’ were in New York you didn’t come see me.
