How to Rock a Bake Sale
Stevie's home- kitchen
"Alright!" Kacey greeted everyone proudly as she finished tying on her apron (of course it was blinding everyone in the room because of all the sequins on it.) "We have 'till tomorrow to make a…"
"Cake," Stevie supplied.
Kacey nodded. "Exactly! So Kevin, Nelson, did you get the ingredients?"
Nelson and Kevin both nodded and began pulling ingredients out of the bag.
"Butter!" Kevin declared.
"Sugar."
"Vanilla essence!"
"Eggs."
"Flour!"
"Milk."
"Ice!" Kevin declared finally.
Zander frowned. "Ice?"
"Kevin…" Stevie began carefully. "Did you buy Ice instead of icing sugar?"
Nelson turned to his friend who stepped back sheepishly from the multiple glares sent his way. "Well I didn't know!"
"It's okay," Zander said, taking his normal role at calming everyone down. "I'll go get the icing sugar and you guys start baking."
Kacey jumped up and took off her apron with a flourish. "Great! I'll come too."
"Hold it," Stevie placed her hand over her friend's shoulder to hold her back. "You just don't want to make the cake." At Kacey's embarrassed shrug Stevie took of her apron. "You stay and bake, I'll get the icing with Zander."
Zander held up both hands in a calming gesture. "Ladies, ladies. As much as I'm flattered by the fact you're fighting over me-"
"We're not fighting over you." Both Stevie and Kacey informed the boy and he grinned before heading out the front door.
Nelson glanced quickly at both Kevin and Kacey. "So far Kev's messed up getting ingredients and Kacey has a sparkly apron. I really don't think we can make a cake…"
"You'll be fine," Stevie assured before grabbing her bag and running out the door to join Zander.
As she reached the van Zander opened her door for her and she climbed in. "M'lady," he bowed.
"Nice try Z," Stevie smiled. "Now hurry up before they burn my house down."
He chuckled as he climbed into his seat and started the car.
After a few moments Stevie's phone beeped and she checked it:
How do you turn on the oven?
She let out a groan and quickly dialed the number. "What's wrong?" Zander asked as it rang.
"They don't know how to turn on the oven," Stevie explained. "And the bake sale was Kacey's idea."
Zander grinned, amused, as Nelson finally picked up. "Hello."
"Hey, so basically there's a button in the middle you need to press first. This just stops the timer from messing up. Then just turn the knob to whatever temperature the instructions say. You've got to preheat it, so start it up now." Stevie explained quickly.
There was a few clicks and shuffling from the other line. "Uh, Stevie. The knob fell off and there's a weird beeping coming from it," he held the phone to the oven and she heard a very loud and disturbing alarm.
"What's going on?" Zander asked as he pulled into the store's car park.
Stevie shook her head slowly, half amused that they could break an oven and half in disbelief. "They broke it."
"The oven?" Zander asked, just as disbelieving as Stevie.
She shrugged and told Nelson she'd fix it when they got back, before hanging up. "Let's just get the icing sugar then head back."
Zander agreed with her and they rushed into the store, with the image of Stevie's house on fire spurring them both to hurry.
Stevie's home- kitchen
"This was a bad idea," Stevie says finally.
Both Zander and her returned to a mess, somehow they'd split flour all over the floor and managed to drop half the eggs. At least she managed to fix the oven.
But at least the cake was done now.
Kacey carefully began sprinkling the icing sugar over the top of the cake and both Nelson and Kevin watched anxiously. "Careful!" They both warned Kacey, making her jump in surprise.
"Do you want me to ruin this?" Kacey questioned and returned to dusting the icing sugar.
Zander eyed her work critically. "Slowly Kacey. Sprinkle it evenly. Make sure you don't-"
"Okay!" Kacey shot up. "I got it guys. Just chill okay?"
Stevie and Zander shared a glance.
Finally Kacey finished and they placed the cake into a container.
Nelson and Kevin turned to each other and jumped into the air, high-fiving.
Unfortunately their hands were covered in flour, sending a wave of the powder into the air, adding to the mess.
Stevie sighed as Kevin and Nelson both apologised before turning and blaming each other.
"That high-five was your idea," Kevin poked Nelson.
He poked him back. "Well I wasn't the one who bought ice instead of icing sugar!"
"Yeah, but at least I didn't break the oven." Kevin crossed his arms.
Stevie stepped between them. "Okay guys, let's just clean this mess up before my mum gets back okay?"
"Actually I have to go," Kacey said with a nervous laugh.
"No!" Everyone turned to her at the same time and she flinched.
Zander wiped his hands on a cloth before running his fingers through his hair. "I think it's only fair that Stevie gets to go and relax. I mean this is her house, she was nice enough to let us use her kitchen."
"No it's cool, we'll get it all cleaned up sooner if I help." Stevie shot an appreciative glance to Zander before going to get the broom.
Nelson and Kevin both began washing all the pots whilst Kacey and Zander worked on the yolk ridden counter.
Eventually they got it all cleaned up and everyone headed for home except Zander, and both he and Stevie collapsed on the couch in her room. "I vote for a rom-com," Stevie said immediately.
Zander shrugged and went to the stack of movie's picking one out easily. "So, in class today, a bee got in and everyone started freaking out."
"But not you of course?" Stevie teased.
"Of course not, I am far too brave and heroic for a bee to scare me," he declared smugly. "Anyway, this kid, Joe, just said 'I got this' and pulled out a rubber band."
Stevie gasped. "No!"
"Yeah, he shot the bee down with the rubber band." Zander grinned.
"Oh my god!" Stevie laughed.
Zander nodded. "Our teacher just stood there, and no one knew how to react."
"That kid ought to be an avenger," Stevie pointed out and Zander laughed, nodding in agreement.
They both grew quiet as the movie started, and Zander ran to get them some popcorn.
At one point Stevie grabbed a jar of peanut butter and dipped a kernel in, at Zander's confused look she offered him the jar. "Try it."
And so he did, and was immediately impressed. "You're creative genius astounds me Stevie."
"I didn't come up with this," she nodded to the jar.
He shrugged and covered more popcorn in peanut butter.
Eventually the movie ended and Stevie helped Zander with the spare mattress she had for sleepovers. "Do you think anyone's going to buy our cake?"
"Of course, it tastes like the gods themselves had sent it down from heaven for us to feast on," Zander said seriously.
Stevie scoffed. "You haven't even tried it."
Zander stared at her. "Baby, anything made by these hands," he held up his hands. "Will taste divine." And then he winked.
"Stop it," she laughed and hit him lightly on the arm, causing him to laugh as well.
He shrugged. "It's true."
"Sure it is," she smiled. "You looked adorable in your apron by the way." Stevie teased finally.
Zander suddenly grew quiet.
"You looked lovely in yours as well Stevie."
And something in the way he said it almost made Stevie blush.
Brewster High School- cafeteria
Kacey was standing in front of their cake, posing and trying her best to sell Gravity 5's cake. "Dahlia! Hey, want some cake? It's delicious I promise!"
Nelson turned to Kevin and whispered to him. "I think Kacey's going to kill us if we don't sell this cake."
"Or worse," Kevin gulped.
Zander and Stevie were sitting at their normal table however, not bothering to take part in the nonsense that was the bake sale. "Hey, I left my book for next period in the classroom, but the door's locked." Stevie said as she sat down next to Zander.
"Oh no problem," Zander reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. "Which room?"
"Zander!" Stevie said in shock. "What are those and how did you get them?"
He shrugged. "Their keys to the whole school, and it isn't important."
She was about to pry more when Kacey sat down next to them.
"How's the sale going?" Stevie asked, curious.
The lead singer of Gravity 5 dawned a very fake smile. "Wonderful!"
"You haven't sold the cake yet have you?" Zander asked bluntly.
Kacey visibly deflated. "No. I even tried giving it out for free, but no one wants to buy it!"
"Ah, don't worry," Zander said as he got up. "This requires my expertise."
Stevie and Kacey shared a glance.
"Hey Chloe, wassup baby?" Zander greeted as he walked up to the girl. "You must be a hell of a thief because you stole my heart from across the room."
Kacey grinned as Stevie rolled her eyes.
"So I made this cake, and I'm sure you'd love to taste it," Zander said, guiding her towards Nelson who was manding their station.
To Kacey's joy the girl bought three whole slices. Stevie however, was just stunned that Zander had managed to sell the cake by flirting.
"My doctor says I'm lacking Vitamin U." Zander began again.
Stevie groaned and picked up her sandwich.
She hated to admit it, but she was disappointed that Zander had chosen to flirt and sell cake rather than help get her book.
But at least they finally sold the stupid cake.
