This was all new, ya know, having a boyfriend. . .

The characters in this setting are in 7th grade

Agatha was never the popular kid. The light always shone on her twin sister Sophie, who, was the most popular girl in school. She was good at sports, dance, grades, you name it, she was good at it. Agatha on the other hand, could bake, and play softball. That was about it. Besides, she hung out with what's known as 'The Coven' three girls who most belived were full on witches. Hester, Anadill, and Dot. They were always together, Hester taking lead, the other two very close behind. The only other person that they normally talked to other than each other, was Agatha. They occasionally talked to the weasel boy Hort, but that was just so they could tease him.

Agatha saw no harm in her three companions. At least she had someone to eat lunch with while her sister was at the 'popular table' Besides, Sophie had a new boyfriend who she spent all of her time with. His name, was Tedros Pendragon, jock, hunk, and idiot. He had no knowledge when it came to anything other than football. He had been the star quarterback for the Camelot Junior Hight Knights ever since the 5th grade. Agatha personally saw nothing in him. . .at the time

Present day, the characters are about to be Freshmen

"AGGIE!" Sophie screams from upstairs, "WHERE IS MY PURPLE CROP TOP?!" Agatha rolls her eyes. Today was the first day of High School, and Sophie was totally freaking out, "Check under your bed!" Agatha yells back. "Be quick though, Tedros will be here any minute." After two minutes pass, Sophie runs down the stairs in a purple short sleeve crop top, with short jean shorts and a high pony. "Is Tedros here yet?" She asked. Agatha peered out the window, and saw that Tedros had just pulled up in his dark Volvo. (totally got that from Twilight! Comment if you like the reference!) "Just pulled up" Agatha said, the girls say goodbye to their parents, and walk down the steps from their front door and approve the car. Agatha climbs into the front seat, and Sophie shuffles into the back. "Hey guys" Tedros greets before placing a small kiss on Agatha's cheek. "How was your morning?" He says as he pulls into the street, "Oh fine," Agatha replies. "Sophie had to change her outfit 10,000 times though. First it was the blue shit, then the yellow dress, then the purple crop top-" Tedros chuckles. "So normal Sophie then?" he says with a smile, "Hey, I just want to be perfect for the first day, I'm trying to get elected for Class President!" Tedros chuckled at that "Elections aren't until November, are you really working on that now? The teachers provide all sorts of things for you to use to campaign. Like posters, videos, and they can even make you buttons a stickers." By that time they had already pulled into the parking lot. There were already plenty of cars filling the spots, kids hanging around waiting for the first bell. Agatha looked around. So this is High School.

Agatha started dating Tedros in 8th grade. She didn't even see it coming. . .

One day, after school, Agatha was waiting for Tedros and Sophie at the front doors of the school, when all of the sudden, they walked out, screaming and fighting. Agatha had no idea where it was coming from, she had always thought that Sophie and Tedros were really happy dating. Sophie seemed happy at home.

But, she had been noticing something different about her sister. She had been a little less happy, a little less jumpy. Agatha asked her what was wrong, but Sophie just went back and snapped at her. From that day forward, Agatha had her suspicions. Now, here they were, just as she had suspected, fighting.

"You don't have to control my life all the time!" Tedros yelled,

"I just want to be a good girlfriend by telling you what you should do!" Sophie yelled back.

"EXACTLY!" Tedros screamed back, then she looked at Agatha, "Do you think that a good girlfriend tells her boyfriend what to do like she's his mother or something!?"

"Um. . ." Agatha muttered,

"See? Agatha agrees with me," Tedros said,

"You know what?" Sophie said with a push,

"What, are you going to tell me what to wear tomorrow?" Tedros said with sarcasm,

"No. I'm not even going to talk to you anymore, this is over!" Sophie said as she stomped off.

"Good!" Tedros yelled back as he followed her.

That was the most awkward car ride Agatha had ever been in. They always went to school together because Tedros lived just down the street from the twins' so, from that day forward, Agatha sat in the front seat.

After Sophie and Tedros broke up, eventually, they started talking to each other again. Agatha still sat in the front seat, but the rides weren't as awkward. After a while, Agatha started noticing Tedros looking over at her more and more, then she started noticing herself look at him. What am I doing? Agatha thought. I don't really like him. . .do I? She started asking herself this more and more. Then, something huge happened.

Agatha and her family were having dinner with the Pendragons, and while the adults were having coffee after the meal, Tedros' little brother Chaddick went upstairs, and Tedros and the twins turned on a movie in the theater room. At one point in the movie, Tedrdos asked Agatha to walk into the den with him. She was confused, but followed him into the next room.

"Ok, I need to talk to you about something." Tedros said nervously

"Uh, yeah, me too" Agatha whispered softly

"I. . " They both said at the same time, then, almost simultaneously, the both reached for each other, Tedros cupped his hand around Agatha's neck, and they kissed. That was when it all began. From that day forward, they were inseparable. Even until the day the married, they day their daughter was born, and for the rest of their life.
