When they got their test back on the next day, Quinn smiles a bit. She has have some good marks on them. As lunch came around, Quinn is heading to the bathroom when Angela approaches her.

"Oh...hey Angie." Quinn says to her.

"Hey...what are your marks on your tests?" Angela ask.

"...Bs...did you have a good marks too?"

"Not really, but I don't care really."

"Your parents would care though."

"Whatever..."

Before Quinn can say anything else, Angela went to a different direction. When school finally is over, she gather her things and left school. As she arrive home, her mother is reading her book in the living room.

"I am home." Quinn says as she close the front door.

"Did you have your tests back?" Mere ask.

"Yes. Here."

"But still...you need to get top marks of ALL your classes, Quinn. All you older 8 sibilings are currently or had attend good schools. You really need to get into a good university. Got it?" Mere says to her.

"Your mom told me that you had Bs on your tests." Stephen says to her.

"Yea and?" Quinn ask.

You really need to get better marks or you won't get into a good school."

"But still...you need to enter a very good school."

"I know I know."

Stephen lets out a sigh before leaving her alone. As he heads downstairs and enter the kitchen, he sees his wife making some dinner. He then heads to the fridge and took out the milk.

"Mere...what should we do with Quinn?" Stephen ask.

"I don't know yet." Mere replies. "She doesn't seem into her studies like our other kids."

"I know. Maybe we should hire a tutor or something."

"Tutors are kinda expensive."

Stephen let a sigh before drinking his milk. When dinner is ready, Quinn have dinner with her parents. Its now has been two weeks since Ben saw Quinn. It is kinda expected. He thought that he might scare her off or something. Anyway, Ben is hanging out with Dylan in their flat. Both of them are currently watch some tv in their boxer shorts and tshirts.

"Ben, we really need to go to Old Compton Street." Dylan says to him.

"Why?" Ben ask.

"I know you want some."

"Shut it."

"Are you still thinking that Quinn girl?"

"N...no..."

"Stop lying. You told me you had a very bad breakup with your boyfriend back in Scotland."

"Still..."

"That is why we need to go out."

"Fine, but can we go to Leicester Square first, Dylan?"

"Alright then."

Dylan turns off the tv before he and Ben heads to their bedrooms. After a few minutes, they change into their clothes. Dylan is wearing blue stretch jeans, maroon polo shirt, white socks, and black shoes. He brush his hair a few times before exiting his bedroom. Ben is wearing bright red polo shirt, black jeans, white socks, and black shoes. He did not bother to fix his hair, so he left his bedroom. He finds Dylan sitting on the couch.
