Alright, chapter four is located maybe 2 inches down from where you are reading right now. WAIT! Don't rush ahead and read the chapter until you read this.

Cam and Derrick both like Claire, and Claire likes somebody. But right now Cam doesn't know Derrick likes Claire.

BUH, BUH, BUUUUUHH. (whisper) the story.

"Ok. The seating arrangement is on the board." Said Mr. Manda as he put his piece of chalk down.

Everyone craned their necks to see over the people in the front.

Seating Arrangement

Front

Layne Chris Meena Heather

Kori Josh Olivia Alicia

Cam Claire Derrick Massie

Dempsey Strawberry Allie-Rose

Derrick craned his neck above the others and looked at the chart. He turned around to Claire and Cam.

"We're in the back." He said as he walked around them and led them to the back.

They sat down and waited for the teacher to continue.

"OK. Today we're getting right down to business." Mr. Manda started.

"We will be making sugar cookies." He finished.

He walked to a storage cupboard and looked around the room.

"Ms. Block, Ms. Rivera, will you please help me pass out the ingredients." Mr. Manda said as he opened the cupboard filled with sugar, flour, and salt. He then opened the refrigerator filled with milk, eggs, butter, and bottled water. He handed each girl a recipe and they started to pull out the ingredients.

"Now. I know you are all dying to find out who your partners are so. I am going to randomly choose them." Mr. Manda said as he put slips of paper into a Mets baseball cap.

"First is, Layne Abbely. You are paired with… Allie-Rose Singer." Said Mr. Manda as Layne and Allie looked over at each other.

"Next, Massie Block, you will be with…Chris Plovert."

"Kori, you're with Josh." "Olivia with Dempsey." "Meena with Strawberry." "Alicia with Heather." "And Cam with Claire" said Mr. Manda as he emptied the cap.

"Sir, you didn't call me." Said Derrick as he clenched one of his fists under the desk.

"Oh, well who would be willing to have Derrick in their group?" Said Mr. Manda as he looked around the room.

Massie and Chris raised their hands. Claire and Cam rose they're hands and Alicia and Heather raised their hands, and Josh tried to raise his hand but Kori pushed it down.

"Umm… Let's have you with…OH. I have an idea. Well will do today's lesson and whoever makes the best cake out of the hands raised will be able to have Derrick partner with them." Said Mr. Manda as he looked up at the clock. "Begin"

Claire and Cam looked down at the recipe. They need to mix all the dry ingredients together first.

"Ok. We need to mix together the sugar, flour, and salt. 3 cups of sugar, 2 cups of flour, and 3 tsp. of salt." Said Claire as Cam measured out the ingredients and put them into the bowls. "No. not three tablespoons Cam! Teaspoons!" She finished as she stopped him from dumping in the salt.

"Sorry." He aid before chuckling.

"S' Ok. Ok now we add the eggs and… Oh set he oven to 375." She said as she pulled out the eggs and butter. Cam walked over to the row of ovens and set one of the ovens before writing Claire and Cam on the chalk board above it.

"So. How are you guys doing?" Derrick asked as he walked over to Claire.

"Ok. Thanks for the necklace." Claire said as she nodded over towards her purse.

"It's no problem" said Derrick.

"How much was it. It's no knock-off." She said looking straight at him.

"Not as much as the tuition here." Said Derrick.

"How much?" said Claire again as she cracked the eggs into the bowl.

"Half a months allowance." He said. (those necklaces are like $350.)

"Are you kidding?" said Claire as she turned to look at him accidentally cracking the egg over the counter.

Derrick shook his head chuckling and his hair waved across his forehead.

Claire wiped up the egg and looked at him.

"I am not excepting that." She said as she pointed at him, accidentally spraying egg from the rag onto his face. (a/n I'm talking like the yoke and white on his face. Like a big mess not little splatters.)

Derrick flinched back as the egg hit his face. He reached up his hand and wiped the egg away from his eyes.

:"That wasn't nice Claire." He aid as he wiped the rest off his face and looked at in his hands.

"Oh my gosh. I am SOO sorry." She said.

Derrick smiled and wiped one of his hands on her cheek. She gasped and stared at him. She stuck her hand in the flour and flicked some into his face. He smiled before leaning on the table.

"Now, that wasn't nice" he said before taking some sugar and sprinkling it over her head.

Claire giggled before looking at Derrick.

"I bet I taste pretty sweet right now." She said giggling.

Derrick quickly looked over at Cam. He had just finished writing on the chalkboard. Claire followed his gaze.

""Hey Cam! I need another egg, I dropped one." Claire called as Cam smiled at her and walked over to the fridge.

Derrick looked back at her and she smiled.

"Well? I know you were going to say something." Said Claire as she turned back to Derrick.

"What did you say again?" Derrick joked.

"I bet I taste pretty sweet right now." She repeated while giggling.

"You always taste sweet." Said Derrick as he looked at her. She blushed and looked down at her lap.

Cam came back with an egg and Claire cracked it into the bowl. She stirred the ingredients together and then passed the bowl to Cam , who had set up the mixer.

"So what else do you guys need to do?" Derrick asked.

"We don't want the cookies to be airy and bubbly so we are going to stir it until the bubbles have left the dough." she said as Cam turned the speed of the beater up.

"Oh. Right." Said Derrick pretending to know why that was important.

"It makes them taste better." Said Cam as he turned of the mixer and pushed out the beaters.

He handed one to Claire and she ran her finger up one of the edges. The batter spilled onto her finger and she licked it off before doing the same to the rest of beater. She squirted hand sanitizer onto her hands and continued on with the dough.

"Is it supposed to be runny?" asked Derrick as he looked into the bowl.

"No. But we're not done yet." Said Claire as she pushed Derrick's head back from the bowl.

She poured in some milk and stuck in three sticks of butter. She then started to squish the butter down and mix it together with the dough. Soon it had become much less runny and actually looked like dough. She poked it twice and pulled her finger out.

"Ok. It's done. How about we make cute little shapes out of the dough." Claire suggested as Cam Pam'ed a cookie sheet.

"Umm…Sure?" said Cam as Claire pulled out a little of the dough and began to make it into a heart.

Cam grabbed some dough too and watched as Claire placed the heart on the sheet. He looked down at his clump of dough and started to shape it. Claire watched as he set his cookie down on the sheet.

"OH! That's such a good idea. We'll make shapes!" she said as she looked at her heart and Cam's triangle on the sheet.

So Claire made a diamond, and Cam made a circle, and Claire made a square, and Cam made a oval, and Claire made a octagon (which was very hard), and Cam made a Pyramid!! And then they were out of dough. These cookies were BIG.

Cam and Claire walked over and put the cookies in the oven and set the timer. The cookies were going to cook for… 18 minutes before they checked them. Cam walked over to Josh and Chris and started to talk to them. Alicia, Kristen, and Massie were over at one of their own tables obviously talking about Claire.

"Hey. How are the cookies?" asked Derrick as he leaned onto the table.

"They're cooking." Said Claire as she reached for her purse. She pulled out the necklace and looked at Derrick. "How much is half a months allowance?"

"I can't tell you that." Said Derrick.

"You better, or you'll never kiss me again." Said Claire.

"Oh really." Said Derrick before quickly bending down and pecking her lips.

"Derrick! What if someone saw us? Like massie? Or cam? They'd get soo mad." Said Claire looking around the room.

Too late. Kori and Strawberry were staring at Derrick and Claire with a shocked expression on their faces. They immediately started talking with each other while occasionally peeking at the two. Claire groaned and laid her forehead down on the edge of the table.

"Claire Relax. Nothing is going to happen." Said Derrick as the timer went off.

Claire walked over to the oven, put on some mitts, and pulled their cookies out. They were perfect. Gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside. She walked over to MR. Manda and showed him the cookies.

"Finally, the last batch." Said Mr. Manda before taking the triangle and biting into it. "I have the results! Derrick Harrington will be in…Ms. Block's, no, Ms. Lyons, No! Ms. Blocks…Ok how about this. Ms. Block and Ms. Lyons are partners with MR. Harrington and Cam you will be with Chris." Mr. Manda finished before releasing the class.

"Ready for detention?" asked Derrick as Cam pulled up beside Claire and Derrick.

"Yup." They both answered.

Ok. This was a long chapter, not my longest but it was still long. 2 reviews and I'll be happy.
