"That's was not fun." I stormed out of the classroom.
"But I thought you said you liked to write."
"I do, just not….a report on a non-fiction book and writing non-fiction crap!"
We headed down the stairs and went outside.
"Yo J.J.!"
We stopped and turned around to see a guy stop next to J.J.
"Alex! Where have you been?" they shook hands.
"I've been busy."
Looking at these two standing next to each other, you would say that they were brothers.
"And it looks like you have been busy to." Alex said, gesturing to me, in which I was rather a little too close to J.J.
I took a step away.
"Oh, no Alex. This is the new girl, Terra. We have the same classes, right?" he turned to look at me, but I was already several feet away. J.J. and Alex ran to catch up with me.
"So, Terra, do you like videogames?" Alex asked.
"If I have time I might play." I replied, opening the door to the "Tech. Building"
"What games do you play?"
"It varies: Kingdom Hearts, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy; it just depends on what kind of mood I'm in and what I feel like playing."
J.J. and Alex looked at each other with…happy? looks. We, Alex included, entered the Family & Consumer Science classroom.
"So, Alex, are you taking Pro Start this period?"
"Yeah."
The bell rang and the teacher, Mrs. Price, told everyone to sit down. She took attendance, told us we were going to bake cookies and/or a cake and put us into kitchens. J.J., Alex, and I were in kitchen 7. I immediately examined our kitchen.
"It's just like any other kitchen." Alex said.
"What is the assignment again?"
"To make cookies and/or a cake. We can make any kind we want."
I pulled out equipment and preheated the oven. I put on a waist apron and washed my hands. Then, I began to crack eggs and separate the whites from the yolks, putting the whites into the blender and putting it on high.
"Mind telling us what you are doing?" J.J. asked
"Keep an eye on the mixer." I said, heading into the pantry.
I grabbed the remaining ingredients. I was heading out when I ran into someone. Why does this keep happening to me? I asked myself.
"You ok?"
I saw the other person, a girl with short, red-orange hair, bend down to help me.
"Um, yeah. I'm fine." I stood up, holding my ingredients. "I'm Terra, by the way."
"Jackie."
"I should be getting back to my kitchen."
"Ok."
I went into my kitchen and placed the ingredients on the counter. I checked the mixer and added the liquid ingredients and turned the mixer on high until it was fluffy. Then, I took off the mixer and gently folded in the dry ingredients.
"Can one of you go into the pantry and get a bunt-cake pan?"
"Ok." Alex went into the pantry and came back with the pan, which surprised me.
I poured the batter into the pan, set the timer, and put the pan into the oven. I collected all of the dishes and put them into the sink. I was about to wash them when Alex grabbed my arm. I turned to face him.
"What?"
"J.J. and I will clean up." He said.
"You sure you guys got it?"
"Yeah."
"Ok." I took off my apron, put it in the dirty bin, and sat down.
I watched them as they washed, dried, and put away the dishes. A slight smile crossed my face. I got up and went over to the teacher.
"Mrs. Price? I have a question."
