"What are you doing here?" Sophie questioned as she dusted herself. She pulled on her mini skirt, her frown disappearing. "I was going to ask you the same thing..." Tedros cocked an eyebrow, throwing his can into a bin not so far away. Clearing my throat, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Sophie kept her eyes glued on Tedros and he did the same, it was as if they couldn't take their eyes off each other, until Sophie finally snapped. "Tedros? Really, Aggie?" I sighed, oddly feeling relief. Tedros and I weren't dating anyway, I could just explain that to her. "What's so bad about me?" A gravelly voice asked from behind. Sophie shrugged, her smile turning into a smirk. "I don't know, I just thought she'd be done with people like you." I wheezed as Tedros' grip tightened. "People like me?" Sophie nodded, picking something from her nails. "Yes, actually. Agatha can do way-" Tedros cut her off with a hysterical laugh. "That's only because you want her for yourself."
Sophie scoffed, her stare hardening on Tedros, but then it reverted back to me. "What?" I whispered, my cheeks red with embarrassment. "You're just standing there! I shouldn't be asking him all these questions!" I cleared my throat once again, baffled. Gaping, I fell backwards as Tedros stormed in front. I groaned, my back colliding with the back. "Why? What we have is none of your business?" Sophie chuckled, clasping her hands together. "What you 'have'? Aggie?" I jumped to my feet, running my scrawny fingers through my hair. I frowned, oddly feeling less of a girl. I always felt like this around Sophie, even when she decided to dye her hair black and was infested with warts. "Umm...actually..." Tedros sighed, knowing exactly what I was going to say. "Agatha volunteered to let me stay with her."
I sighed, watching Tedros' eyes pop. "I didn't say that!" I interfered, their bickering finally getting to me. "Agatha doesn't have a say in who stays in my house or not." Sophie's eyes popped, her eyes dropping on mine but then fixed back onto his. "She lives with you? Since when?" I chuckled nervously, pulling on my white polo shirt. "The night I got here." Sophie scoffed, shaking her head. She gave me a thin smile, muttering to herself. "So you left to be with him? Is that why you didn't want me to come?" I shook my head frantically, my eyes popping. "Of course not!" Tedros rolled his eyes, eyes glued onto Sophie. "You're not living with us."
"Yes she is..." I croaked. Suddenly all eyes were on me. "Since when did you have a say in this?" Tedros questioned, folding his arms. I sighed as I pushed my hands into my pockets. "Come on, Tedros! She has nowhere to stay." He shrugged, giving a smug smile. "I don't care." I groaned, folding my arms aswell. He raised an eyebrow, trying to be serious but he couldn't help but chuckle from time to time. "Well I do care. Sophie's my best friend." Tedros was always stubborn and that's a thing which stuck to him. "Oh, Agatha," he ran his fingers through his hair as he paced up and down. "Why won't you just let that go! Don't you remember when she tried to kill you?!" Sophie's face went red with fury. She turned to Tedros, not at all amused. "I'm not the problem, you are. You're trying to make her choose against you and I...again! You also did the same thing with me and I ended up being a jerk to her," I groaned for she wasn't wrong at all. Tedros was silent for a while, but I could tell how he was feeling too because he knew she was right. The only thing standing in their way of being friends was their hatred for each other and...well, me.
"Fine. She can live with us, but we have to establish some ground rules." I nudged him, making him hiss. "This is great, Sophie!" I smiled. She nodded, pulling me in for a hug. "Thanks, Tedros..." I gave him a thin smile, but he avoided it, walking the direction of the car. Sophie decided to sit at the front with Tedros, leaving me at the back and he didn't even say a word. I ignored it, satisfied that they were willing to stay at least four feet close to each other. "This is where you live, Tedros? I'm guessing being a prince really gave you a boost..." Tedros shot her a glare, parking next to Oliver's car. "What castle?" Sophie gave him a puzzled look, watching him get out. I did the same, watching him walk over to the fountain. "What are you doing, Sophie?" He questioned, wondering why she was still in the car. "What do you mean?" Tedros wasn't able to hear her but I was. Sighing, I walked over to her door, opening it for her. "Thank you." She smiled, watching me slam the door shut. Not so far away, I watched Tedros roll his eyes, delight lacking.
"Who's the blonde?" Oliver questioned, mouth filled with doritos. He sat on his sofa, crutches on the ground and the TV on. "That's Sophie..." Tedros sighed, walking towards him. Taking a dorito, he began chomping along with him, watching the awkward scene. "Doesn't ring a bell..." Tedros chuckled, mostly entertained. "Sophie the witch? The never? Wart face? Never trying to be an ever? Doesn't that ring a bell?" Sophie squealed, now annoyed. "People change, Tedros. That was one time!"
"One time too many..." Oliver croaked, sitting up. Sophie pierced her lips shut for their was nothing left to say. "So," Oliver cleared his throat, turning off the TV. "How was the meeting?" He questioned. Tedros shot him a glare, causing him to clam his mouth shut. "What meeting?" Sophie asked, curious to what Oliver was talking about. "About his job..." I muttered, walking towards the fruit basket. "Job? Right...what's your job?" She questioned. Tedros continued chomping on the doritos, eying his watch. Biting into my apple, I walked towards the stairs. "I'm going to rest." Sophie's eyes popped, now amused. "Room? Where am I staying?" She questioned, clapping her hands.
"Up the stairs, second door on the right." Tedros smirked, giving me an odd glare. "That's my room!" Sophie squealed, pulling me in for a hug. "We can be roommates!" I sighed, trying my best to smile. "There's more than enough room for the four of us." Tedros shrugged, taking another dorito. "I told you there'd be ground rules." I cocked an eyebrow, not in the mood to speak anymore. "Alright then. Sophie, you can rest. I'm going out for...something." I sent Tedros a chilling glare before walking away. Passing the car, I pulled out my wallet, in the mood for fast food. I gasped as one arm pulled me back. "What's the matter?" He questioned, but I wasn't in the mood to talk to him. I continued walking, snatching my arm from his grip. "Don't talk to me..." I hissed, catching him off guard. "Is this about the Sophie thing because-" I cut him off with a scream. "I just tried to do something good and you're making it seem bad. Sophie had no where to go and I gave her somewhere."
"Okay," Tedros sighed, wrapping me in for a hug. "I didn't do the right thing, but she is going to need you." I rolled my eyes, pushing him away. "Sophie's my best friend, but there is only too much I can take. Why do you think I left that small village in the first place." Tedros shut his mouth, not knowing what to say. "I've got to go..." He nodded, walking along with me.
"Can I take you out for a meal or something?" I chuckled, shoving my fingers into my pocket. "Unless you're taking me out for a burger and fries, I don't mind." He shrugged, taking my hand. "Alright, anything to add?" I thought for a while, knowing I would eat way more than that. "Maybe a drink...or some popcorn chicken." Tedros chuckled. "What about the whole shop?" I nudged him. "Dont be silly! That's no where near enough." He smiled, kissing my forehead. I sighed, looking at my scrawny hands. "I don't understand how you can be so thin after everything you eat." He mumbled. I shrugged, craving a double cheese burger. "High metabolism..."
"Happy?" Tedros questioned as he watched me eat. I lifted my head, staring at him, my mouth filled with burger meat. "What?" I questioned as I watched bread crumbs fall to the table. Tedros chuckled as he pulled out his phone. "We've got to leave soon. Oliver can't come, so I guess you're my gambling buddy." My eyes popped. "Really?" I swallowed my burger, taking a sip out of my sprite. "But you're going to have to change." I rolled my eyes, pulling out my wallet. "Well then I'd have to go shopping. I don't have any 'feminine' clothing." Tedros shook his head, taking my wallet. "Why go to a shopping centre when you have Sophie?" I chuckled, looking at my half eaten apple pie and fries. "I don't think I can finish this at all." I stretched my arm, squealing as I dipped my elbow into barbeque sauce. Tedros chuckled, passing me a napkin. "I didn't think you would."
He got up, pushing his phone into his pocket. "Come on, let's go." I nodded, following him outside. I couldn't help but feel excited, too excited. "I can't wait to gamble!" I squealed, feeling light on my feet. Tedros chortled, grabbing me. "Alright, eager beaver." I cringed as I felt my belly churn inside. "I think I'm going to be sick." I sniffled, mumbling words into his chest. "You're still coming with me though. I need a tiny sidekick." I rolled my eyes, realising my polo shirt was stained with sauce. I stuck my index finger into my mouth, pulling it out only to rub it on my shirt. "It smudged..." I hissed, tempted to take my shirt off and toss it into the bin. "Come on..." Tedros sighed, walking the direction of out house.
Tedros pushed the door open, revealing Oliver. He hadn't moved from his position all day, he continued munching on his doritos, watching Comedy Central 'Impractical Jokers'. He looked up, smiling. "Where have you two been?" He questioned. Tedros shrugged, leaving me. He walked over to Oliver, stealing a crisp from him. "I'm only allowing you because we are mates," Tedros cocked an eyebrow. "And because I can't walk at the moment." I giggled, walking up the stairs. I sighed, hands on my handle. I didn't know what to expect really. I hadn't been in this room in so long and it could have changed.
Turning the knob, I pushed it open, almost screaming. "What have you done?" I croaked, closing it. I stared at the pink walls and the heart shaped bed. "Whilst you were gone, I learnt room decorating spells and I came across these. This room was pretty dull, so I changed it. I love it." She sat on her pink throne which stood next to a pink counter. "I need to borrow your clothes." I wheezed, watching her eyes pop. "Another date with Tedros, huh?" I shook my head, my cheeks burning. "More like another business meeting. I need to borrow your clothes."
"Only if I get to change you. If you allow me to do that, I will let you have my clothes." I smiled, sitting down on the bed. "But I can take some things off..." I informed, opening her closet. I sighed, realising that she had already put her clothes on hangers, putting mine in a little corner. "You can't have my bras though, you won't fit into that." I gaped, grabbing a pillow on our bed. I hurled it at her, screaming as it went flying back. It hit my face, throwing me off the bed. "Magic? Really?" I groaned, getting back up. "You're a bit rusty. You need to get your orange finger glowing once again." I cleared my throat, pulling up my trousers. "It is actually golden." She clammed her mouth shut, closing her suitcase.
"Okay...what about this pink dress. It's glittery?" I shook my head, looking through the closet. "What about these black jeans?" I questioned. I screamed again, falling right into the closet. I turned, grabbing the pink pillow which was lying on my belly. "Sophie..." I groaned, getting back up. "Okay, what about this golden shirt. It has tiny straps, but is slightly see-through. Where a bra. Then you can where black shorts underneath." I nodded, taking the clothes from her. "Thanks, Sophie."
"It's alright."
I pulled on her clothes, leaving her in the room once again. "Great," Tedros sighed, getting up. "Let's go, Agatha." I nodded, taking his hand. "You took forever..." I nodded, chuckling. "When you're with Sophie things tend to take time." Tedros chortled, giving me a smile. He opened the car door and I did the same and soon, we were at the Gorilla Pit. I hadn't been here in so long and I'm happy about that. I remember signing the contract, scared for my life. Turns out I shouldn't have signed it and should have run the other way instead. "Come on. It starts in five." I nodded, following him.
Catching me off guard, a hand made its way down my back, squeezing my butt. "Hey!" I turned around, my face softening on Keg. "Hi, Keg." I smiled, punching him in the arm. "Nice to see you again, Little Lady. When will you be coming back into work?" He questioned. I shrugged, noticing Tedros was right behind me. "I'm actually filling in for someone who isn't very good at the moment. Once he's fine, I'll be back into work." He nodded, folding his arms. "Well I need someone. Have any girly friends?" I thought for a while, debating whether I should sell Sophie out or not. She's in need for a job at the moment and designing won't get her anywhere at the moment. "She has a friend. Her name is Sophie..." I shot him a glare, but he ignored it. He took out his phone, flicking through his phone.
"The School for Good and Evil has a website?" I gasped, staring at a picture of Beatrix. Tedros began flicking through the gallery. He flashed the phone in Keg's face, showing a picture of Sophie. "This picture looks horrible!" Keg cried. "She won't get me any money!" Tedros nodded, but I knew something was up. I growled, scrowling once more. "Wrong picture, idiot." Keg nodded, in approval. "She's alright, but I want you back as soon as possible. She can work tomorrow at 7:45."
I sighed knowing Sophie is in for an unappealing treat.
