part 2

After that interruption we got back to work and slowly worked through our large stacks of homework Ian struggled with the math but I helped him get through it and he helped me with government. Which is a class I struggle deeply in. Mostly because of how boring it is.

( A/N i actually really hate my government class )

“Are you ready to go home or do you want to come over to my house and play COD before terry gets home” I ask as we walk out of the diner “sure I don’t have work until nine" Ian signs shrugging as we make our way through the streets and eventually back to my house. by the time we're done playing it's almost a quarter till nine and if Ian wants to get to work on time he has to leave now or Linda will have his ass. His words not mine. "bye mick I'll see you in the morning?" I nod rolling my eyes because he says the same thing everyday when he leaves knowing we'll see each other in the morning. I wave as he walks away before closing the door. "Mickey, let's go Iggy and Collin are taking us to get food." Mandy signs walking into my room. "okay" I say out loud to show Many that i've been getting better with toe control and pronunciation "wow mickey that was really good" she signs smiling so wide her face has to hurt. We leave and when we come back Terry is passed out on the couch snoring loudly 'according to mandy'. I roll my eyes and walk to my room to eat in peace. Just as I sit on my bed and get comfortable Many walks in and plops down at the foot of my bed. "can I help you?" I sign stuffing a fry in my mouth "yes you can I would like to know who is helping you learn to speak better" she replies stuffing her face as well. "and why would I tell you?" I ask just to fuck with her " cmon mick you gotta tell me I want to thank them,,,"she signs sighing "unless they're making you learn because they're assholes." she signs like it was an afterthought. "fine I will tell you but you can't go crazy thinking it's something it's not." I sign with a very serious face knowing that Many will go jumping to conclusions about Ian doing this for him. "fine yes I won't just tell me" she replies exasperated "Ian and Fiona" I mumble. "what was that mumbles?" mandy asks "Ian and Fiona jeez" i say louder "oh okay" she signs with a smile "are you sure they're not doing it because Ian is in love with you?" she signs quickly thinking I won't catch it " Mandy you know he doesn't feel the same way about me so just stop." I sign with a sad expression. "you never know Mick, it's possible." "I'm not gonna get my hopes up" I sign before shoving the rest of my now cold fries in my mouth. "look can I please just eat in peace please.' I sign tilting my head to the side.
