Snack Attack
The afternoon shift was over, and that just left Aelita to do her task.
Evening Shift: Aelita Delivers Baked Goods
Aelita was in the school cafeteria waiting for Rosa, the head lunch-lady to give her a tray of baked goods.
"Thank you for volunteering to deliver these baked goods to the staff, young lady. It's teacher appreciation week, and you're just the person we need to get these out to everyone," Rosa says as she gave Aelita a huge tray of brownies, cookies, cakes, and other pastries.
"Um, no problem," Aelita says smiling, turning to leave the cafeteria.
As Aelita went toward the faculty lounge, William approaches her.
"Hey Aelita, how's it going?" he says as he snags a brownie on his way past her.
"Um…fine…" Aelita says as she watches William make off with some of the goods.
Aelita shrugs and continues on her way down the hall when Hervé and Nicolas approaches her next.
"Hey Aelita, are those cookies?" Nicolas asks.
"Well yes but these aren't for…" Aelita began to explain when both guys took a considerable amount of goods from the tray and took their leave.
Aelita had a blank look on her face as she resumes her trip toward the staff lounge.
The next person she encountered was Sissi.
"Oh for me? You shouldn't have…actually you should!" Sissi says as she grabs a donut from the tray and bids Aelita adieu.
"Okay, that's it, I'm not letting anyone else take anymore off of this tray!" Aelita says, a bit miffed now as the tray was half empty now.
She resumes her march, keeping a sharp eye out for any more students.
She suddenly stops again when she heard a low panting noise from behind her.
Aelita spun around and sees it was Odd's dog, Kiwi, looking at what she had in her hands.
"Oh no you don't!" Aelita says, turning away from Kiwi.
Kiwi however ran between Aelita's legs and hops up, chomping on a mouthful of cakes before scampering off.
"Thief!" Aelita yells out to Kiwi.
Almost to the lounge, she hurries toward the door as fast as she could when Jeremie appeares out of nowhere.
"Hey Aelita, what's up?" Jeremie says to her.
"Oh, hi Jeremie, I'm just delivering this tray of baked goods to the lounge…" Aelita says.
"That's all you're taking to them?" Jeremie asks, looking at the almost bare tray.
"It's a long story…" Aelita says. "So, how are you coping with the loss of your computer?"
"It's really not that bad right now, especially since I'm borrowing some of Sissi's equipment until the money's raised to get my old one fixed," Jeremie explained. "Well, I better be going. See you later," Jeremie says, snagging a cake from the tray as he left waving back at Aelita.
Aelita looks down at her tray and gulps. There was only enough left for most if not all of the staff members to get at least one item. She sighs and enters the staff lounge.
"Well now, what have we here?" Mr. Delmas says.
"Oh good! You brought us the sweets from the cafeteria," says Yolande, the school nurse.
The entire staff immediately surrounds Aelita as they take what the wanted from the tray and return to their tasks.
The tray was completely empty now.
Moments later, Jim enters the lounge and sees everyone eating.
"Oh good! Snack time!" Jim says eagerly as he approaches Aelita. "What?! No brownies, cookies or cakes?! Where's my sweets?! I want my sweets!" Jim whines, as he was about to throw a tantrum.
Aelita took this time to quickly leave the staff lounge as fast as she could before Jim would notice.
This would conclude the evening shift. The conclusion will soon follow!
Continue on to the final chapter, or Jim will come over to your house and cry like a baby because he couldn't get some cookies and cake!
