"nick, it's no big deal if you have to do something today." said agatha, looking at her stressed brother and patted his back.

"yeah? and what?" said nick, moving sideward to the bed to avoid contact with his sister, "leave you here alone and let that jacob guy kiss you and all that?"

"nick." said agatha and looked at her brother, "you're exaggerating. he and i are just friends and gosh! that was three days ago?"

"yeah." said nick, laying down in the bed. "you're grounded for a week, i remember."

"oh! yeah, i have to rest here everytime. i hate being here." agatha said.

"because you like to-"

"have adventures, yeah!" said agatha, "you took my dream away."

"just for a week. it won't kill you." said nick, shrugging.

"it's killing me with... boringness."

"don't die, then." nick laughed hysterically.

few hours later...

someone knocked while agatha was randomly jumping in the bed. she jumped and landed on the ground with a loud thud. she ran to the door and opened it.

it was jacob.

"are you going with me today? the children asked me why you're gone for three days already." he said, looking at agatha's eyes.

"no, i'm grounded, remember? tell them i have school works." agatha said.

"and i heard enoch misses you."

agatha looked at jacob with her famous 'judging you' look.

"seriously?" she said as she felt her cheeks flared up.

"yeah." jacob said, he hugged agatha and broke the hug quickly. "i'd better be going. bye."

"jake! you're back!" said emma happily as she saw jacob.

"where's agatha?" asked olive who's beside emma.

"she can't go today." said jacob, shrugging off and they started playing with the children.

olive ran away and went to the basement. she knocked and enter the door.

enoch was making his clay dolls and soldiers- the silence was still there when olive talked.

"agatha's not here, enoch." olive reported.

"okay. you can leave now." said enoch, ignoring olive.

olive scratched the back of her neck, "why is she so important?"

"no questions." said enoch, giving olive a death glare.

"but-"

"i said no questions!" enoch shouted.

olive looked terrified, and left the room.

enoch was left again, with his homunculus and silence.

"agatha!" said claire and she ran to the door and hugged agatha.

"hey claire..." agatha said as she went inside the door.

"agatha? what are you doing here?" asked jacob, looking at her weirdly.

"i'd tell you later." said agatha. "hey!"

the children pulled agatha to play with them and she did.

enoch was walking outside when he heard something.

"that's foul!" said- agatha?

agatha? she's not here right? enoch thought.

enoch sneak a peek and saw agatha's dirty blonde hair. he heard her laugh again.

i guess i could say that i fancy her, enoch thought.

"enoch!" agatha said, and waved to him.

enoch looked at her and walked away.

"hey!" said agatha and she ran to enoch.

enoch ignored her and she tackled him on the floor. accidentally...

enoch looked shocked, and didn't speak.

"i-i'm sorry." said agatha.

"zip it. let go of me, what do you want?" enoch said rudely, his face showed that he was surprisingly shock.

"i wanted to ask you if you want to play soccer with hugh, millard and i."

"absolutely..." said enoch sarcastically.

"really?" asked agatha happily.

"no, so, let me go princess." said enoch as he got uncomfortable with their position.

enoch was laying on the grass while agatha's on top of him.

enoch had no choice, he pushed agatha by the shoulder and ran away.

agatha layed on the grass when millard and hugh approached her.

"you okay, agatha?" asked hugh.

"yeah."
