MONTH 3:
Bake her heart shaped cookies
Bailey's POV:
I sat down on my bed and pulled out a picture of my Ex Boyfriend, Moose. I took a hard look at it, crumpled it up then threw it in the waste basket across the room. To keep me from feeling sad, I decided to do my homework that wasn't due until next week. But this weeks was really hard, so I thought about asking Cody for help. I took my notebook and textbook along with my backpack and was off to Cody's cabin.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
Cody opened the door.
"Hey Cody!" I said, standing there waiting for him to answer. He practically fell over. "H-h-h-i-i, B-b-b-ailey." Cody stammered. "Wh-h-at are you doing here?" He said.
"I really need some help with my homework" I told him.
"You mean the one due next week?" He asked, this time in a clear sentence.
"Yup!" The conversation was beginning to become awkward.
"Well you just got lucky, because I finished mine already! Come on in" Cody said, then whispered "Yes!" to himself.
Half of the room was messy and the other half was very clean. I could tell which one was his side. I stepped over some dirty underwear, then muttered "Ew" to myself.
Cody's POV:
All that was running through my mind was, BAILEY PICKETT IS IN MY CABIN! I watched her find a place in the room, stepping over Woody's dirty laundry and old food. She looked so beautiful with her hair slightly curled at the ends, wearing blue shorts and white flats. I stared at her for a few minutes, but it felt like hours.
"Cody, Cody?" Bailey said bringing me back to earth. I blinked a few times. Bailey's foot knocked on a book. She picked it up and look at it blankly. "What's this Cody?" She asked me. It took me a second to realize it was my Sixth Month Plan. I quickly grabbed it from her hands and stuffed it under my pillow.
"Its nothing! Lets just get to the homework already!" I said, thankful that she didn't look inside.
Couple Hours Later...
Bailey's POV:
After hours of homework help from Cody, It was getting very late. Actually, there was only four minutes till curfew, so I had to hurry. I gathered up all my things and said goodbye to Cody.
"Thanks so much for your help Cody." I told him.
"Your very Welcome Bailey" He said back.
"Have you ever Considered on becoming a teacher?" I teased. We both laughed, and then I left. But inside of me felt different then when I came in a couple hours ago. It was kind of good. I ran quickly to my cabin so I wouldn't get caught after curfew, but then I bumped into Zack.
"Whoa there farm girl, slow down" Zack said as he took a bite into a piece of funnel cake. He acted like it didn't matter if he was out after curfew.
"Sorry. I'm just in a hurry" I told him. I started to walk away but then he stopped me.
"Were did you come from?" He asked me.
"Cody's Cabin." I answered then left, hoping it didn't leave him clueless.
"Cody's Cabin? Huh?" Zack shrugged. "Oh well." He took another bite out of the cake and went in his cabin.
Bailey's Cabin...
Just to be safe, I entered my cabin very quiet. But of course, London was not sleeping. She was texting her best friend Chelsea. I still tried to be quiet so I wouldn't bother her. London looked from her pink cell phone that had rhinestones on it. "Bailey where were you? Your usually in bed hours before curfew." London asked me.
"I was just asking a friend for some homework help." I told her as I cleared my bed.
"Whoa whoa whoa. You needing help with homework? I thought you were the smartest kid in this whole stupid sea school?"
"Hey, sometimes the smartest kids have a tough time with stuff. At least I do my homework." I said. London scrunched her face and went back to texting. She knew I was talking about her.
The Next Day...
Cody's POV:
I got up extra early this morning so I could start on the enxt month in my plan. I grabbed the 6th month plan book that was still under my pillow from yesterday and flipped to the third month. "Month Three: Bake Her Heart Shaped Cookies" I read to myself. I happened to be an excellent baker so this will work out great. Quietly I got out of my bed so I wouldn't wake up Woody, but as I was walking towards the door I tripped on one of his shoes. "OW!" I yelled after I hit the floor with a thud. Woody made a grunting sound and almost woke up. I made a dash for the bathroom so I could change, before Woody could see me.
Seven Seas High Kitchen
I set out all the ingredients on the table and was ready to start baking. When I finished the first batch, I tasted them to make sure they were just right for Bailey. And they were pretty awesome.
After the last batch was done, I set them down to cool and I got the basket ready to arrange them in. They were all neatly set in the basket with a ribbon tied on the handle. I just hoped everything would turn out how I planned it would...
Bailey's POV:
Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo! Went my chicken alarm clock. I pressed the off button and gave myself a big stretch. When I got out of bed I found a large basket sitting on top of my dresser. Hmmm? I didn't see that there last night? I went to go check what it was and see if there was a not attached to it. And sure enough there was. It read:
For: Bailey Pickett
From: Anonymous
After reading the note I peered inside the basket. It was a dozen of heart shaped cookies. I gasped at the sight. No one has ever sent me something this wonderful before. I grabbed one cookie to taste. It melted in my mouth, and I let out a big "Mmmmmmmmm" which woke London up.
"Bailey, I know you like to wake up early but I don't. So could you keep it down?" She told me. Ignoring her I took the basket over to my bed and asked, "London, do you happen to know where these came from?"
"Wow, those look tasty. No I don't. Sorry." She said and went back to her beauty rest. It still left me clueless. Who would send me something like this? And at an unusual time? Well never mind the last one, I'll go to the skydeck and ask some other people.
Sky deck...
I never new the sky deck could get this crowded in the morning. Everyone was desperate to get a smoothie at Easy Sqeezie probably because it was super hot out. The first person I spotted was a kid in our class Cole. I kind of new him, and we talked a few times before, so I assumed he sent me the basket.
"Cole!" I called to him. He turned his head to find me standing with a giant basket in hand. "Did you send me this basket?" I asked him. He looked inside to find a bunch of cookies. It took him a second to think, and then he said, "Yes. Yes I did Bailey." He gave a evil glance at Cody who was at the towel stand, but Cody didn't know what it was about. "You do like them?' Cole asked Bailey.
"Oh, defiantly! There AMAZING!" He stood up and opened his arms wide so I could hug him. And I did.
Cody's POV:
I finished folding the last towel when I turned around and couldn't believe my eyes. Bailey was hugging Cole, AND she was holding MY basket of cookies I sent her anonymously. When Cole left I walked over to Bailey. Not looking where I was going I tripped over a chair and fell on my face. Bailey rushed over to me and helped me up. I muttered a quiet "Thanks" To her but that was all. She faced me and said, "Check this out Cody." She showed my the basket. "Cole sent me this basket of cookies last night. There so yummy. Wasn't that nice of him?" I couldn't even say a word. She thought Cole sent those to her. "Yeah, they do look good..." I finally said. I couldn't tell her it was me. She would think Im crazy.
She left thinking it was from Cole. Which left me, super angry. "I HATE COLE" I yelled throwing the chair I had tripped over across the sky deck. Zack saw me from the Easy Sqeezie counter and came over to see what was rong. "Cody? How in the world did you throw that chair across the sky deck? Your weaker than a deer with a limp." Zack laughed. He always had room for an insult. Even at 8:00 in the morning. "Whats rong?" Zack ask me.
"I sent Bailey a basket of Heart shaped cookies for the start of my sixth month plan, but she thought Cole sent them to her." I picked up the chair and set it back up next to a table. "Dude. Why don't you just go over to her and tell her it was from you." Zack said.
"I can't do that. It will totally ruin my plan."
Zack's POV:
I shook my head as I walked back to the Easy Sqeezie counter. I don't understand Cody. Why dosn't he just talk to Bailey and tell her how he feels? Because he dosn't have charm like me. Woody was at the counter waiting for a smoothie when he said, "Whats rong with Cody? I've never seen him this mad, since he got an A- on his history paper." I filled up a cup with strawberrys and bananas.
"Oh, Cody's Just mad because his stupid sixth month plan is not working."
"He was serious about that?" Woody said. "I thought he was just joking."
"Well Woodchuck, when you love some one that much, you do anything to get them to love you back."
"Oh I get it. Like when you pretend to accidently bump into a girl, say your sorry, and then eventually get her number?"
"Yes."
Bailey's POV:
I was still not over the fact that Cole was nice enough to send me the cookies. Checking my bacteria in the biology room always takes my mind off of things. I was the only one in there. "Do guys ever get lonely?" I asked my bacteria. "Too bad know one dares to come in the biology room." I told them. Then heard sounds of foot steps. There getting louder and Louder and LOUDER. Surprised to see someone coming in I screamed.
It was Cody. "Bailey what are you doing here?" He asked me. Relieved that it was just Cody, I said breathless, "Just checking my bacteria."
"Really? I'm doing the same thing!" Cody said. We both smiled. Delighted that we were not the only was who would spend their afternoon looking at living filth. "Well, actually Bailey..." Cody began. "I came in here to tell you something important."
"Yeah?"
"The... The Cookies. There n-n-not from C-c-ole" Cody said, barley making out a complete sentence.
"How do you know?" I asked. Now I was super confused.
"I'M the one who baked them and sent them to you." He said. Now I was even more confused. "Come with me." He grabbed my arm and pulled me to the Seven Seas High Kitchen. "What are we doing in here?"
"Just watch."
For the next hour, I was watching Cody crack eggs, kneed dough, and burn his finger once in awhile, from putting the cookies in the oven. "Try these." Cody said handing me a cookie. They melted in my mouth just like the ones Cole sent me. "Wow these are amazing..." I said.
"And..." Cody said.
"And they taste just like the ones Cole..." I didn't finish, because I had just realized something. The basket was not from Cole. It was from Cody! I looked at the cookie then at Cody. He just nodded his head. "It was you Cody!" I leaned in and gave him a big hug. "Thank you Cody!" I said. Then I left.
Cody barley could speak. He just smiled...
