17: Letter.

POV: SCOTT

"OH ILL KILL HIM."
I wake up to hearing Fwhip yell about killing someone, which tells me todays gonna be fun! I quickly change before running out into the main room "What's going on?! Who? Why? WHAT?!" I managed to sputter out before Mythical hid me behind him. "Fwhip, not nessecary." "HE MADE YOU CRY! IM NOT GONNA LET THAT- HIM, GET AWAY WITH MAKING MY BIG BROTHER CRY." Someone made MYTHICAL cry? What did i miss?!

"Fwhip, there are rumors of him dating that Graceffa guy, you could target him next. I think that's where he gets the information." Joel said as he entered the dorm. "Alright, I'm the only person who doesn't know what's going on? What happened? Who made Mythical cry? Are you okay?" I said as I looked up at him to check. "One, just call me Sausage at this point. Two, I'm alright, don't worry yourself. Three, your brother came looking for you, and Fwhip wasn't having it, so he..." he didn't look like he could finish his sentence, and he just pulled part of his hair back to reveal a burn scar, looked a few years old, with some covering damage. "I'm so sorry. If I would have been up, I could have just gone with him. I'm sorry you had something happen because of me." I looked over at Fwhip, signifying the apology was to him as well. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I'd show the scar to the whole school if it meant you were safe from your stupid brother!" "Same here, kid." Sausage agreed with Fwhip's statement. "Hey, you're 17! I'm only 2 years younger!" "That's still younger, and 'slightly younger child' still doesn't have the same rhythm!"

"Whatever, back to my br- Xander. Back to Xander."

I keep slipping up.
He wants me to forget, but it's hard.
I can't just- forget I know him.

"Scott, I can feel your overthinking from across the dorm. Also we need a nickname for you!"
Nickname?
"Oh my, it's a true honor if JOEL gives you a nickname. Those two have a meeting and discuss nicknames, for me, and other kids in the school, and each other. It's kind of fun to watch." Sausage said as the two ran off into Joel's room, Fwhip running into the side of the doorway before making it in.

Before I could say anything else, there was a knock at the main door. I went to get it, but Sausage stopped me before I could hardly move. "I'm getting it. Last time, it was Xander." Oh, my bad. Sausage walked over to the door, opening it and making sure whoever was there could only see him. I couldn't hear what the person said, too far away, but sausage turned around to me. "Uhh, what is this kid saying? It's your little boyfriend, Scott."
"What boyfriend??" I replied before he dragged me in front of him.

"Aflora!"
I felt my face heat up as I greeted Jimmy in Coddish, then explained the nickname to Sausage. "F-from Lizzie! This where Jo-el lives?" Jo-ell? Oh wait, Joel. What is Lizzie sending him?
I don't have long to wonder, because he handed me 2 letters. One in a pink envelope and one in a green one. "One for Jo-el!"
"Only one is for Joel?" I said in coddish, and got a nod. "You're missing 'is'. You know the sounds, right?" I translate to him, well, except the 'is' stated in English" "is! Thank you!" he smiled and ran off to his room.

"Oooh, Joel got letters?~" Sausage said as he grabbed both from my hands" I didn't have time to explain that only one was for Joel before he ran over to Joel's room and knocked. "We got it!" Joel said as he opened the door, then looking down at the letters. "Who are those for?" "One's for you, I don't know who the other is for though."

He grabbed the letters, looking at the pink one first. "This one's mine. It has my name on it. I don't know who the other one is, I can't read the writing." I take the green letter from his hands, attempting to read the messy handwriting. "Is that...? oh, I know who it's for." I said as I started to open it. It's Coddish. Knowing that, It's much easier to make out the words "Dearest Flower boy" on the front.

"OOOOOOH ITS SCOTT'S!" Joel said out loud. fwhip nudged his shoulder. "Oh, Blueberry's!"
"how creative, boys. his hair? even i could think of something better" Sausage criticized. "hey, i like it!" i said back. Sausage rolled his eyes as i saw Joel tear open his letter, Fwhip looking from over Joel's shoulder. Joel basically ripped the envelope in two, sausage stopping him from actually doing so. 'Tiny and mighty' i guess? i grabbed mine and walked to my room to read the rest so i can decode the messy writing part. coddish is easy enough.

It's still weird to think. i thought he wouldn't talk to me after what happened with Xander. I guess i was wrong, and i have some sort of proof.
He sent me a Letter.
