Beth, Reese, Rylee & Oli Fluttery Pegasi Quinn nodded along with everything Beth was saying about her parents. They really truly were that awful. "My parents cancelled my last birthday, opting instead to go on a two week holiday in the French Riviera. I only learned that after they left and finally remembered to send an owl a week later." At least they remembered to owl that time. "Not to even mention this summer..." Quinn shot Beth a look communicating she was still rather upset over that one. Point being, her parents naming her Shmebulock wouldn't even remotely be the worst they've done. Deciding your daughter doesn't need to have birthday because you'd rather take a holiday without her kinda over shadows that.
Quinn blinked, brow furrowed in thought, then a moment of clear remembrance lit her face. "Oh, right, him..." She drifted for a moment as if recalling a pleasant memory. "Yeah."
And she was back on the name. That awful, awful name. Quinn let out a disgruntled, hissing sigh through her teeth, and then just sort of surrendered to it. "Yes, fine. Keep reminding them. Tell the whole school even, since you clearly seem intent on doing so." She finished tying her shoe, folded her arms over her chest and watched the landscape roll past them for a moment. "I'll still hex anyone that calls me that." Once she knew the best hexes that was. She looked pointedly at Beth, "Even you."
Quinn glanced across at Reese, eyes narrowed. Then she relaxed and shrugged a little. "Honestly, can you even butcher that name worse than it already is?"
She ignored Rylee's scoff, and studied Oli, perplexed. "No, I'm not ill." She paused a moment. "Are you ill?" Since that seemed to be the random question to ask today.
