Snippet #2473260

Agatha had just set up the experiment when Blair came up to her. His smile was cute, she had to admit. The thing is, the girl had a reputation for mistaking a guy's expressions of affection or infatuation as something else. In this case, she figured he was just striking up a conversation and trying to get to know her some more. "Oh! Hi, Blair!" Her innocent smile showed as she responded to the question with, "I'm Agatha, Agatha Apostolos!" Turning her eyes back to the experiment, she added, "Well, since we're sitting next to each other, you wouldn't mind if I pair up with you for this lab, would you? We can talk while we do this; I'm pretty decent at multi-tasking." Just then, she heard a crashing sound and turned her head. "Oh, dear..." Getting up, she said to Blair, "I'll be right back."

Meanwhile, Yoshio heard Keung ask about his summer, to which he replied with a smile, "It was pretty good." gripping his chin in thought, he added, "Let's see... There was karaoke, hanging out with family, more karaoke, some manga that I read, followed by the anime, then some swimming at the local pool, and also spending time with family..." Soon enough, he snapped out of it. "Oh! Gomen! I got carried away! Almost forgot about the lab!" (Gomen is Japanese for Sorry.) While working on the experiment with Kueng, the singer heard a crashing noise and jerked his head. He would have stepped in to help, yet he figured this was his cousin's time to shine.

Akira decided to go to the back of class to help a friend from Church he would meet on Saturdays before services. He was more knowledgeable on Biology than Physics, but it did not stop him from doing what he could. And then, during the lab, Akira heard the sound of items crashing onto the floor and jerked his head to see Lillian in front of the mess. He stood up and went over to her, which obviously did not bode well with Ms. Composto due to the glare that came out.

Akira reasoned by saying, "This isn't the first time she was seen being stressed out about something, today."

Agatha was also helping to clean up with Akira and Lillian. Together, the siblings contributed to setting the lab up properly before Agatha went back to her lab with Blair, conducting it asking him, "You were saying?"

While Agatha went back to the lab, Akira handed a piece of paper to Lillian, stating, "Here, I think you forgot this."

Inside the note (with cursive words) was:

Dear Lillian,

I think I have time for the movie on Saturday, since it would be later in the day and church services that day are in the morning. I got my own car, I can make it there. Normally, when travelling about town, I'd be riding my bicycle, but, you know, being all sweaty is not that great. Anyway, I will be there. Just mention the time and place in which we meet at the cinema, and we can work it out from there.

Sincerely,
Akira

Now that it was out of the way, and the mess cleaned up (there were no chemicals, since it was physics), Akira went back to helping his friend from church with the lab. His peers from church, Akira observed, are typically against any sort of clique or social circle often found in school. Granted, other students tend to view them as a circle of their own, despite their conversing with multiple kinds of people.

Yoshio secretly thought in his head about the first triumph in a road to making his cousin and Lillian a pair while continuing the lab with Kueng. "What about you, Kueng-kun? Was your summer decent?"
