Glazed Doughnuts

Glazed Doughnuts

It was the Cooking Festival today and I was really excited. It was my first time and I would be able to taste all the entries. I wondered who would be joining and what food they'd make. A few hours later I went into the town square and walked to the center. I saw everybody except Katie. I sighed. I walked around and sat down between Basil and Michael. I was really excited. I suddenly felt soft hands over my eyes. They smelled like flour.
"Who is it?" I heard a girl say behind me. I immediately knew who it is but kept on guessing just to be sure.
"Is it Lyla?"
"Nope."
I smelled her sweet-smelling breath.
"Is it Maria?"
"Nope."
"Oh! I know. It's Katie."
"You got it."
I looked behind me to see Katie smiling. She was holding glazed doughnuts on a silver platter.
"I hear it's your first time."
"It it. Are you entering that in the competition?"
"Yup. I baked it an hour ago so I couldn't come early. Freshness makes everything taste better."
"I know that you'll win with that food."
She sighed.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No. It's just that I never win. Carl always win. It's not fair."
The smile vanished and she began to pout. I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"I'm sorry Kyle for acting like that. You must think I'm a baby but I really wish I could win this time."
"You will. I'm positive"
I said that reassuringly hoping it would make her happy again. It did.
"Thank you."
And she ran off to the center where Gourmet was starting to taste the entries. When he got to Katie's I watched silently. Gourmet ate a chunk out of it and grinned.
"Why this is delicious! This is the most mouth-watering, scrumptious, best-tasting doughnut I ever tasted. It's original and I say it's fresh. Baked about one hour ago a presume?"
Katie nodded and grinned.
"Delicious."
I applauded louder than anybody else. Fortunately, no one noticed. At the end of the tasting the entries were passed around for everybody to taste. Katie walked over to me and told me to eat one. I gobbled it up quickly and smiled. Mmmmm...This really is delicious.
Everyone waited for half an hour and held their breath as Gourmet told everyone who won. He winked at Katie.
"And the winner is..."
Everyone leaned forward as if they couldn't hear him.
"And the winner is...Katie! She'll receive a medal, 100,000G, and a season's supply of ingredients to cook anything she wants!"
Everyone clapped and whistled. Katie blushed and walked up to the stage receiving the medal. I was proud of her. I knew she'd be real happy.
She really made delicious glazed doughnuts.
