"So what is he doing?" Harper said quietly, so Enoch wouldn't hear her.
"I'm bringing this doll to life." Enoch spoke.
His voice wasn't quiet, but it wasn't exactly loud either.

"Come see! He's amazing!" The redhead pulled Harper and Jj over to the boy's desk.
Harper pulled a chair from the corner of the room and sat down.

Enoch placed a small heart into an old broken doll with various things missing.
The doll began to move and stand up.

Out of all the commotion, Harper hadn't noticed the other doll that was already... Alive?
Enoch leaned down to the newly alive doll and whispered a little something to it.

The doll circled the other doll.
They began to attack each other.
Stab each other.

Soon enough, the elder doll took out the other doll by kicking out its heart with the blade attached to its foot.

"Radical." Harper says unphased
"Radical?" Enoch asked. Olive looked extremely confused at the slang.

"Rad?" They shook their heads again.
"It's like wow or cool or whatever you guys use." She shrugged.

Enoch and Olive looked beyond confused.
70's slang, am I right?

"Erm... Cool peculiarity!" She quickly changed the subject considering it was extremely awkward.
Enoch looked confused again.

Her words caught him off guard.
"Everything alright?" Harper asked.
"Yeah... Yeah!" Enoch sounded like he was reassuring himself.

"What are your peculiarities?" The redhead asked. She was extremely silent before, so everyone forgot she was still there.

"I can jump through space and time."
"How does that work?" Olive continued to ask.
"It's a sort of teleportation"
Jj disappeared and then reappeared behind Olive.

The girl looked around for the boy but couldn't find him.

Jj tapped on Olive's shoulder and she jumped in fright.
"Wow!" Olive was smiling very brightly.

"What's yours?" Enoch pointed a screwdriver at Harper.

"Oh, right!"
She spent a lot of concentration trying to pull the screwdriver he was holding towards her.
He looked shocked as a telekinetic grip tried to pull the screwdriver from his hand.

Enoch looks toward her and furrowed his eyebrows.
She gave him a small nod and he weakened his grip.

Finally, the screwdriver flew into her hand.
"You've got a weak pull." He took the screwdriver back from her.

"Would you like to see me pull your heart from your bloody chest?" Harper raised her voice.
"I'd like to see you try it." Enoch chuckled.

It sounded like he was getting a kick out of it.

"Hey, that's enough." Jj walked over to them.
"He started it!"
"It's not my fault she's got a weak grip!"
"I'll show you a weak grip!" Harper quickly stood up, Enoch doing the same.

"Stop!" Olive squeaked.
"Come on!" Jj pulled Harper back.

Rory slowly walked into the room at all the commotion.

"Can you lot keep it down? I'm trying to read." She held up the book and scoffed.
"Your little mates starting arguments." Enoch glared at the girl.

"Maybe if you weren't being so mean." She returned the glare.
Rory looked at Jj for an answer.

"Something about a screwdriver and being pulled. I don't know. I wasn't listening." Jj pursued his lips.
Rory sighed. "Just shut up and snog or something. I don't care. Do something that doesn't affect my reading, please, and thank you!"

"Snog?" They asked in unison
"Either that or shut up." Rory stormed out of the room. Jj followed and mentioned something about the book she was holding.

Olive was long gone by now.
She left either when Rory walked in or when Rory mentioned the snogging.

"We're not gonna snog each other... Right?" Harper didn't mean for it to sound like she was asking, but she quite clearly was.

"Right. Of course, we aren't." He nodded.
His eyebrows were stitched in a confused manner.
Seems to be his resting face.

"Good."
"Good."

"Well... I'm going to go." They were both extremely confused by now.
"You do that." He nodded

Harper was unpacking the little thing she had.
"Hey, supper's ready." Rory smiled lightly.
She pushed the door open a little more before walking downstairs.

Jj and Rory were already sitting extremely close together and Harper didn't want to interfere with whatever that was.

Where to sit?
She noticed a seat in between Enoch and Olive.
This'll be good.

Harper completely ignored Enoch and smiled at Olive.
Olive just looked away.
Great! Such amazing friends.

"So... What're your guy's peculiarities?" Fiona asked.
"Don't bother asking Harper. It's barely a peculiarity." Enoch laughed a little.

"Enoch! Where are your table manners?" Miss Peregrine asked the brunette.
Enoch just huffed and continued to eat his chicken.

"I space and time jump." Jj smiled and nodded.
"Telekinesis."
Harper felt insecure about her peculiarity now.
Why did Enoch's dumb opinion have such an effect on her?

"Those are so cool! I wish my peculiarity was cool." Hugh grumbled.
"I think your peculiarity is cool. You can sting annoying people." She looked towards Enoch.

"Are you implying something?" Enoch looked down at her. Harper stifled a laugh. If he was gonna be an arsehole, she would too.

"I don't know, Enoch. Am I?" She smirked.
"You tell me." He leaned his face down closer to hers.

"Enoch! Harper! Eat your supper!" Miss Peregrine commanded.

"Alright. Alright." Enoch raised his hands and arms in defense.

"Sorry," Harper muttered.
