Me: I got another wave of ideas, so I will be updating lots!
Please enjoy & I do not own Yumeiro Patissiere!
I quickly ran to my dorm with my oh- so heavy suitcase, and got dressed into the St. Marie's Academy uniform that was lying on my bed. I swiftly got my hairbrush out of my suitcase, ran into the bathroom, and started fixing that horribly messy brown hair of mine. After I was done that, I ran down the stairs and out of the building, and sprinted to class. I meet Okumura, Kuroichi, and Sachio along the way. We each race to the cooking classroom.
"So today-" the teacher starts. "A Group. You're late." She says sternly.
"I'll explain." Okumura and I say to her at the same time.
"Kashino, I'll do it."
"I'm very capable of explaining why we are late, after all I was the one who held us there." I say guilt lurking in my eyes.
"Fine."
"Gomen Sensei, we were late because of me. I was so excited to be in the St. Marie's Academy that I was unaware that I was blocking the sidewalk. Okumura-kun then asked for me to move, thus starting a conversation between Okumura-kun, Kuroichi-kun, Sachio-kun, and I." I say as politely as possible.
"Well then, I will now continue the lesson. As I was saying, each of our groups will be baking a different cake for the Piyo Piyo Kindergarden. This lesson will test teamwork, and how well you cooperate with your classmates. You have until the next baking class to finish this project. So, let's get started, shall we?" Our Sensei explains. A wave of excitement passes though the girls, especially me, because I actually went the the Piyo Piyo Kindergarden. I can't say the same for the boys though. They stay the same, if not becoming bored.
"You actually did a decent job of covering for us." Okumura-kun says to me, emotionless as ever.
"Well yeah, I couldn't just let our group get in trouble on the first day! I waited my whole life to be in the St. Marie's Academy, and I'm determined to be one of the top students here!" I exclaim.
"What are you guys talking about over there?" Sachio-kun asks, beckoning us over.
"Nothing." Okumura-kun says, his emotionless face suddenly becoming a flushed pink. I wonder what that means. My mother always said I was really dense, another of my father's traits.
"So kind of cake do you want to bake?" I ask, taking out my sketch book.
"I think it should be a cake that is easy for them to eat, but one they will still enjoy." Kuroichi-kun says.
"I agree." Sachio-kun says.
"How about a sponge cake?" I say, suddenly excited. I take note that Okumura-kun hasn't said a word. He is staring into space.
"What do you think of making a sponge cake?" I ask him.
"I think it should be a chocolate sponge cake, because most kids love chocolate, and it is easily my best baking skill. We could also add strawberry icing, because strawberries compliment chocolate." He comments. We seem to all agree, so I jot down in my notebook chocolate sponge cake. I sketch a circle base for the cake.
"What about decoration?" I question further.
"I could make marzipan children." Kuroichi-kun suggests.
"That'd be great!" I say.
"And I could sculpt a playground out of red bean paste!" Sachio-kun says happily.
"Perfect!" I say. I then sketch out a playground and label it as red bean paste, and draw some children labeled as marzipan.
"So Kashino and I will be working on the base, while Sachio and Kuroichi make the decoration?" Okumura confirms.
"Yep!" I say, proud of my group.
"I see you have decided on what to bake."
"Eek! Oh. I didn't see you there, Sensei. And yes." I say shakily, frightened of her sudden appearance. She leaves to observe other groups.
"So let's get baking!" I exclaim happily.
The cake is ready, and Kuroichi-kun and Sachio-kun are just arranging the last of the children on the cake. I am quite impressed with our cake, but Okumura-kun thinks we could've done better.
"But it's obvious that a baka like you would think this was amazing." He says, with a joking face on.
"Kuuga! Stop teasing her!" Sachio-kun pouts.
"We never finished our conversation earlier." I start. "So, do you guys know each other?" I ask.
"We went to the same school back in our hometown, in Shinjuku." Kuroichi-kun says.
"Wow! You guys lived in the city?" I question.
"Yep~! We were all neighbours! Whenever one of us didn't understand our homework, Kuuga would come over and tutor us! He was the best in our studies, and he didn't take classes out of school. He never got less than 100%." Sachio-kun says.
"Wow." I manage to utter. I always got 76% and higher. But never lower than that. I did get 100% once or twice though.
"I was forced to stay at the top." Okumura-kun mutters, though I'm pretty sure that he didn't mean for anyone to hear him. I'm told that I have amazing hearing during the ear tests. I raise my hand before the sound!
"Wow!" Our Sensei says. "I'm sure that the kids will enjoy that!" She then announces that class is dismissed.
"Later." Okumura-kun says, while flicking his long, golden bangs to the side. I notice that he sorta looks like my Dad when he does that. He has the same golden hair, with hazel eyes. He does look like my dad! Before I realize it, everyone has left, leaving me alone in the class room. I put our cake away into the fridge and leave to my own dorm room, so I wouldn't be late for my other classes.
The rest of the day passes in a flash. I end up wearily walking to my dorm room. When I open the door, I can hear shuffling inside. That's when I realize that I haven't met my dorm partner yet. I am instantly revived, at the thought of making a new friend. I quickly walk inside to meet a raven-haired girl.
"Kuyuki-chan!" I yell happily. "I didn't know you were going to St. Marie's!"
"Well, it seemed fun, so I decided to come here! Also, you made it to A Group! You're soo lucky! I only am in B Group. It's no fair you get to work with the Sweets Princes."
"Sweets Princes?" I say confused. "Isn't that what my dad, your dad, and Uncle Hanabusa were called?"
"Well yeah, but Okumura, Sachio, and Kuroichi are like exact replicates! Okumura is the chocolate prince, Sachio is the Japanese fusion prince, and Kuroichi is the candy prince!"
"Yeah, I guess, AND WHAT HAPPENED TO MY NAP?"
Kashino: That was the worst chapter ever.
Me: You're just jealous that you don't have a big part in this story.
Ichigo: Please review!
