Homework
(Emmett's POV)
"I cannot believe this. I just cannot believe this. Since when is homework passed out in Home Ec. I thought all it was was cooking. This sucks big time! Oh, that teacher will pay. O she will pay." I kept muttering these sentances over and over to myself. Tonight I had to bake one dozen chocolate chip cookies, and write an essay! This is summer school for pete's sake. Not to mention the homework in all my other classes.
As I walked into my house, I was immediately bombarded with questions.
"So Emmett?" Edward asked. "How was your cooking class? Did you make me a cake?"
"Shut up Edward. I'm really not in the mood." I replied.
"Awww. What's wong? Was the teacher mean to you? Awww, you poor thing. sniff sniff." Edward asked in a child-like voice.
"Heck yeah she was! I have to bake a dozen cookies, and write an essay on why cooking and baking are important. How am I suppose to know that? I'M A VAMPIRE!" I yelled.
"Well you know that and I know that, but she doesn't, so you better start on that homework." Edward said turning away from me. But before he left, he looked over his shoulder, and said "Just try not to blow up Esme's kitchen? Alright dumb butt?"
"Don't worry. These are gonna be the best cookies ever made by man! It's gonna be like... oh I don't know... like when the cave men discovered fire! YEAH!" Now I was getting all pumped up.
"Yeah, but one thing dummy! Cookies have been disovered a long time ago." Edward replied.
"Fine.. fine bring down my self-esteem. You know, I was happy there. Real happy, but you, the big meanie weanie vampire brother, just had to break my spirits. Ok, well if you feel that way, whatever. sniff sniff." I tried my best to act like I was crying when I said this.
As Edward walked up the stairs to his room he said, "Any time dearest brother, any time." I swear, sometimes I just wanna strangle him.
I walked over to the kitchen to find Esme trying out a recipe to make for Bella. That poor poor girl. Esme loves to cook, but frankly... she is... well... terrible.
"Esme?" I ask.
"What is it Emmett? I'm kind of busy."
"I need to make a dozen chocolate chip cookies for Home Ec." As I said this I looked over to Bella who was trying her hardest not to burst out laughing. I shot her a warining look that made her stop, and look like she was staring at a monster or ghost. No pun intended.
"Oh no. Not in my kitchen you're not. No sir." Esme answered sternly.
"Cummon Esme. If I don't do good at this then the teacher is going to punish me even more."
"Why were you punished?"
"Ok, well maybe a let one or two jokes off on her, and she took it the wrong way."
"No duh." Bella said under her breath.
"What was that sweet Bella?" I asked in an evil whisper like tone.
"Oh, nothing Emmett." With that she turned her head the other way. Smart girl.
"Well, I guess so Emmett. But if I see just a smidge of black on my walls... well let's just say, you will be in even bigger crap than last time."
"Alright Esme. I'll be careful."
"Good. Come on Bella. I can make you that dish some other time."
As they walked out, Bella shot me a grateful glance.
Ok, it is now time to start baking. Now where did Esme keep her ingredients. Oh, in the cupboard. All right. Let's get crackin'. At least the directions were simple.
Prep: 25 minutes Bake: 8 minutes per batch Oven: 375 degrees farenheit Makes: About 60 cookies.
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 12- ounce package(2 cups) semisweet chocolate pieces or miniature candy coated semisweet chocolate pieces.
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts (filberts)(optional.)
Well, may as well put the nuts in. Can't hurt anything.
(A/N: This is the actual recipe for chocolate chip cookies, in case any of you have a sudden notion to bake along w/ Emmett. HA HA HA I mean, who doesn't love chocolate cookies. Sorry to all those who don't)
1. In a large mixing bowl beat shortening and butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, and baking soda. Beat until mixture is combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined . Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Stir in chocolate pieces and, if desired, nuts.
2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack, and let it cool.
"Oh man, this is gonna be a piece of cake... or uh... cookie that is" I thought to myself as I started to gather ingredients.
I had already set the oven, and had just about all the recipes in the bowl.
"Ok," I thought to myself. "Time to get the dough ready and pop them into the oven."
"BEEP BEEP BEEP!" Sounded the oven timer.
"Woo hoo time to put these babies in. Bye bye my pretties." I muttered to myself.
As I shut the door, I went to the living room to watch T.V along with everyone else.
(Emmett's POV: A little later)
"Hmm, I wonder if those dang cookies are done yet. I still have tons of other homework." I thought as I got up to check on my creations.
As I opened the oven I could not believe what I saw. No way this could have hapened. No way!
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" I yell at the top of my lungs
