When it was morning, the kids ate breakfast and straightaway went to their usual spot. Zack and Hanes told Bella what had happened to them when she had already been home yesterday. Bella seemed to have flared up due to their schemes, made a mess, and disturbed the neighborhood.
"We did not!" Zack exclaimed,
"Oh yes, you did!" Bella yelled back,
"Stop it, we did not make a mess, we helped them."
Bella looked at Hanes, now Hanes is always the guilty-looking one while Zack and Bella are the ones who are always in the argument. Bella studied Hanes's face while he was looking away, avoiding eye contact with her. Bella looked back at Zack.
"You see, you two did make a mess."
"We just helped the farmers, isn't that, right?" Zack asked looking at Hanes waiting for an answer.
Hanes nodded still not making eye contact with the both of them, that was already the answer, nodding.
"Fine, I can't believe boys would be messy like this."
"Stop it already, it has happened okay, let's... let's just ask Tina to read us a book," Zack said while waiting for Bella to look surprised and be happy about it.
"Yeah, why don't we?" Hanes finally talked, agreed, and still is not looking at both of them, staring down at the ground, this was one way to stop Bella from scolding them, Bella seemed to be thinking about what this was all about, she then agreed but still did not forget what they did yesterday.
"Fine," Bella declared, "but I promise you I won't forget." She felt excited to hear another story from Miss Tina, while the two on her back following her were whispering to each other, complaining that they wouldn't get to play again.
"This is one way to make her happy and forget this," Zack whispered to Hanes while looking at Bella, watching her if she ever looked back.
"Even though I don't want to hear a story, I guess we have no choice," Hanes whispered back.
While the three of them were walking towards Tina's house, they encountered the kids of the same age playing too, Zack and Hanes were feeling envious that the others got to play, but the two of them could not. Bella stopped walking turned her back at them and looked back with an angry look, Hanes saw and elbowed Zack to look his way, and both of them stopped walking. They gave Bella a scared look; they stared at her scared while Bella was just about to yell at them again. When they saw her face, they then shouted 'SORRY' at the same time, and Bella looked back in front and started to walk while the two followed her steps.
As they are near the house of Miss Tina, Bella is full of excitement while the two are still feeling miserable. Bella climbed up the three-step staircase while Zack and Hanes stayed below, waiting for Bella to knock. She knocked three times and then waited for someone to open or to answer at least, she looked behind her and saw the boys standing and watching her, they smiled at her, and she knew it was a forced smile. She scoffed, and then someone suddenly opened the door, it was Miss Tina looking delightfully to see the three of them.
"Well good afternoon to you, young lady, it's good to see you three again." Greeted Tina,
"Sorry to interrupt you, are you busy baking?" Bella asked peeking inside to see if she was busy,
"No, just stopped baking, I ran out of flour." She said looking at Bella and then at Hanes and Zack.
"We're here to ask you to read us a book again."
"Really?" Tina was confused, she then looked behind Bella to see the boys, "They too want to hear another story?" She knew the boys didn't like hearing a story, she knew they wanted to play instead.
