          In The Wilde household, everything was peace and quiet that afternoon which is rare 'cause the three children would be running around wild or causing trouble.

       Atticus Wilde was in his office, doing some work and Ethan was doing next week homework that he has assigned to himself in the living room. While Thea and Zach. . .well, they were arguing.

     "It's just one simple favor!" Zach shouted as he followed Thea down the stairs.

     "And I have one simple answer: No!" Thea responded with a huff  as she went to enter the kitchen to find herself a snack.

    Ethan was sitting on the couch and looked at his brother, "What's going on?"

     "Our sister being an lazy menace again, that's what going on," Zach retorted and loudly knocked on his father's office door before he stormed in, "Dad!!!" He screamed out.

     Thea turned around, "What, don't tell!" She shouted and ran inside the office with Ethan.

      "Aw, look. My kids getting along so well together," He sarcastically smiled as they all rolled their eyes at him. "What's up?"

"I went to Thea's room and asked her nicely—"

   She scoffed, "First of all, you barged into my room and turned off my tv."

    "That 'cause you don't pay attention to anyone or anything when the Tv is on."

     "He's not wrong though," Ethan chimed in with a small shrug. "This house maybe burning and Thea might not even notice."

    "That is so. . ." She paused when everyone gave her look and mumbled: "True."

     "I'd asked Thea if she could coach my basketball team." Zach explained.

   "Which I don't want to!" Thea added.

     "Why didn't you ask me to coach your basketball team?" Ethan suggested.

      Zach narrowed his eyes into slits, "Dude, you can barely kick a soccer ball."

     "You know, some people don't have to be good at sports to coach a team. A good coach needs to be focused, goal oriented and motivating—"

    Zach waved him off, "Yeah, yeah, but Thea knows how to crush anyone who crosses her and that's what we need on our team."

     Ethan rolled his eyes, "Crushing people won't take you take far in life." He mumbled.

    Thea sat down in the leather chair, "But I don't like doing things, especially spending my hours after school doing things that I can easily get someone else to do." She sulked.

   "Don't you have a job?"

    "And you think, I actually do stuff there," She joked then she stopped when they all looked at her. "Kidding." She then murmured.

   "So, are you going to coach?" Zach asked.

     "I'd rather do my homework."

   "Theodora Jane," Atticus spoke making everyone turn their attention to him. "If your brother really wants you to coach his basketball team then I think you should help him — I mean, theres a reason why'd he picked you."

   "I'm sorry, Dad. But there's no way that I'm spending my hours after school, training some loud, bugger eating children!" Thea exclaimed.



      "How'd my life come to this?" Thea sighed.
It was the next day, and Thea was in the gymnasium with Henry and Piper and Zach's basketball team. The blond boy had informed the girl that Piper had also asked him to co coach with her for the basketball team.
