Chapter 2: Hang In There

To Daphne's dismay the weekend had passed rapidly, and Monday arrived. It was almost midday which meant she would be attending her advanced cooking class in a few hours hour. She wasn't on bad terms with Wilke per say but she needed a bit of a breather. Luckily for her, they were no longer cooking partners. Clover had been her been her partner for the past few weeks, which was interesting. Wilke wasn't kidding when he said Clover needed some helping out. Chloe simply chuckled at the thought, and had been left stress free, awaiting for her class.

As she walked through the door, she found that she was 20 minutes early and decided to sit outside the door, alongside the lockers. Time flew by as she absorbed herself in a book, it wasn't until she felt a vibration from her side pocket, that she noticed students shuffling through the hallways heading towards their next class.

Daphne stood and read the text while entering the classroom.

[Simone] 2:07 pm.
How did it feel to have something yours taken from you? Wonderful feeling isn't it.

Daphne suddenly recollected this weekends past events, and felt her previously content mood turn in the opposite direction. She took her seat, not before looking at Simone, who was giving her a smug smile. The teacher arrived and told everyone to settle down, commencing the class by taking roll. It must have been Daphne's worst day today, because today of all days Clover was absent, and to her dismay so was Simone's partner.

"Simone, Daphne. Partners for today," The teacher said.

"I'm sorry but I can't work with her" Simone said sourly.

"Miss Vasquez, is there a going to be problem?"

"I," She stopped herself once she noticed the teacher giving them both stern looks, "No. There isn't." She said defeated.

"Well there better not be. Go on, partner up. Everybody preheat your ovens we'll be making devil's food Cake today…."

Daphne zoned out, as read a text message she suddenly got.

[Wilke] 2:15 pm

Hang in there. Don't forget you're the only one on my mind.

She turned to look at Wilke, who was smiling in her direction. She smiled back and tried to push all things aside.

"Will you just listen to me! Oh wait you can't! The instructions say to add 3 cups! Just do what it says on the paper!"

"Well we can't Simone! Because thanks to you the flour mix isn't right anymore, it's too wet!"

"Fine! Here, there's your extra cup!" She said as she poured the flour into the mixing bowl and knocked the flour bag on the floor, "Great! Look what you made me do!"

"What I made you do? What the hell Simone what about what you did!"

"LADIES! ENOUGH! I will not have you causing a disturbance in my class room, now clean this up now."

The final bell rang, meaning class dismissal. Daphne was relieved to finally be free from Simone's wrath. After cleaning up the mess they had made, they were able finish their task, and make an edible cake.

Daphne headed out the door without looking back, and was tugged by her backpack. Instinctively she turned around.

"Hey, how rude, you're not gonna wait for own prince charming?" Wilke said with a smirk.

Daphne snorted at the comment, and simply nodded in amusement. He took her hand in his, and led her towards the parking lot.

As she was about to enter her car, Wilke held on to her, and turned her so that she was facing him.

"Wilkie, I've got to get back to Carlton, I'll be late for practice" She said.

"I know, I know. I just wanted to give you something." He said as he leaned in towards her. He took her face in his hands and kissed her gently, slowly building passion between kisses. As they broke apart, Daphne was speechless.

"And that proves you can't resist me" Wilke said smirking.

Daphne shook her head as she pushed him off lightheartedly. She got into her car and closed the car door, when Wilke tapped her window. He gave her a single rose- one which he probably got from the courtyard or school garden- and left her there blushing, due to his last few words,"see you later beautiful".
