RTC library or like bookshop please
Ocean dragged them there of course
Noel always gets a really sad romance book
Constance on the other hand will not touch a romance book that has a sad ending
Penny reads any thriller novel she can get her hands on
Mischa likes horror but specifically Stephen King
Ocean will read any fiction book she can get her hand on as long as she doesn’t have to read a sex scene
She once got surprised by one and almost threw the book across the room
She spends her hours volunteering at the library and the rest of the choir always come in to make her life hell
Noel once was sad because the book he wanted was on the top shelf and Mischa decided to climb the bookshelf
It is a miracle that they aren’t banned really (probably because the librarians all really like Ocean)
Noel absolutely knew what he was doing he knew Mischa would scale that shit
Penny has really bad volume control but she somehow never gets in trouble
You look over at her table and she just has her hands like clasped over her mouth in shock while her eyes are moving lightning fast across those pages
None of them are the biggest readers but if you give them a book they like them they will devour that shit
Constance and Ocean pass notes to each other
Ricky likes telling the kids about Zolar (the pg version of course) but there’s this one kid in particular that’s his favorite
Her name is Lily and she’s deaf and she has hearing aids but still knows sign language so she translates for him
She once drew him a picture of Zolar and he put it up on his room wall next to the drawing of Zolar that Penny gave him a while back
Noel sits on the book cart thingy and tells Ocean about social media drama while she’s working
It’s the only bonding time they have really
Ocean will not hesitate to kick out jerks
Mischa got put in time out once because according to one of the kids he “wasn’t being very nice to miss Ocean”
As usual, Constance has pictures
Ocean reads to the kids so she has all of them in the palm of her hands
She also has a favorite and it’s this one boy named James who also has diabetes (have I mentioned my ‘Ocean has diabetes’ headcanon lately?)
She brings extra snacks for him
Ricky let’s the kids sword fight with his crutches
Penny likes to ride the book carts
Constance and Ocean go there to study because it’s right in the middle of both their houses
