Niall arrives at school and immediately heads to his locker. When he gets there he notices Kiana standing at hers, which unfortunately is right next to his. He rolls his eyes and goes to the bathroom first in the hope that she'll be gone when he comes back.
Kiana and her friends stay at her locker for another while but when she sees Niall she quickly says "Let's go!" and her friends immediately understand why she wants to leave. As soon as they're around the corner Niall goes to his locker and then heads to class.
The teacher enters the room with a huge smile on her face as soon as the bell rings. "Good morning, class!", she greets them. "Today is a special day! It's the day before our annual christmas fundraiser so we will be deciding who is in charge of what now before we start with the lesson!", she explains which makes everyone very happy.
"We'll start by deciding what we want to do...", she starts and one after the other explains their ideas. The ideas they come up with are christmas cookies, hand made christmas cards, a wheel of fortune, different games, a luck game where they can win little presents and a few other stuff.
"Now that we've got our activities let's see who will be in charge of what!" The class gets very loud and the teacher silences them. "This year we will pull names out of the box to divide you into groups of two!", she explains and pulls out a box which already has little pieces of paper with everyones names on them.
"First we'll see who gets to make the christmas cookies..." The teacher pulls out a piece of paper and reads the name out loud "Kiana!" She then pulls out another piece of paper and says "Niall! The two of you will be in charge of the cookies. It's totally up to you what they look like or what flavour they are as long as it's a little christmassy!" Both of them roll their eyes which the teacher notices. "Come on, it's not the end of the world, guys! You'll survive spending one afternoon together!", she explains.
For the rest of the morning they don't really pay any attention because they are too annoyed at the teacher. Kiana comes over to Niall's after school and they both look up recipes for cookies when Niall's mum walks in. "Oh, sorry! I didn't want to disturb you!", she says apologising and turning back around. "Oh, no problem, mum! Actually, while you're here, do you have any recipe for cookies?" "Oh yes! Of course I do! Do you want normal ones or ones with a specific flavour?" "Well, they should be christmassy so maybe a little bit of cinnamon and orange or so...", Kiana says quietly.
"Let me check! I think I have something like that!", Niall's mum answers pulling out a baking book. "Thanks, Mrs. Horan!" "You can call me Maura! No need to be so formal! And who are you?" "I'm Kiana!" "I'd love to say Niall's told me all about you but I'm sorry to say he hasn't... nice to meet you anyway!", Maura answers and then points to a recipe. "This one! That should be wonderful! If you need anything, just call me!", she continues and walks out of the kitchen.
They start opening up cupboards and drawers to find all the ingredients and utensils they need. "Your mum seems nice!", Kiana states and Niall replys "She is! She's the best! Now shut up and get baking!" "Don't tell me what to do!", she replies and opens up the packet of flower. Niall takes a handful of it and throws it into Kiana's face. "What was that for?", she asks angrily and takes out a handful of flower herself. She throws it on Niall.
Kiana starts to put the ingredients into the bowl but Niall keeps throwing them at her instead of helping her. She gets even more annoyed and cracks an egg on his head. "What did you do that for?", he asks picking the egg shells out of his hair. "Serves you right!", she replys starting to giggle and continuing to put the ingredients into the bowl.
When the cookies are all rolled out and formed as bells, stars, christmas trees and snowflakes Kiana puts them in the preheated oven. She starts tidying up but Niall decides to throw around some more flower. "You're so... ugh... I'm done! You'll clean this up! First you didn't help make the cookies and then you make an even bigger mess... that's not on!", she complains until Niall throws flower at her. She takes the entire packet and pours it over Niall.
A huge fog of flower powder develops in the kitchen and Niall and Kiana bump into eachother. Kiana falls and Niall catches her and pulls her back up. They're standing right infrot of eachother and when they can see clearly again they look eachother in the eye. Niall keeps holding Kiana tight and then takes a step back coughing. "Uhm, sorry!", he mumbles and Kiana comes back from her daze. "Uhm, yeah! Sorry!", she says and turns away to start cleaning up.
The oven starts beeping so she goes there and opens it up to see if the cookies are ready. "Looks like they're done!", she states turning off the oven. Niall comes behind her to see for himself and she can feel his breath on her neck. "Why do I even hate him? Do I really hate him if I don't remember why?", she thinks and turns around to face him. Just as she turns she slips on the egg yoke that dripped from Niall's head and Niall catches her.
"I could easily just let you fall!", Niall states as if Kiana wouldn't know that. "But I won't...", he continues and picks her up. Once she's standing she says "Thanks!" "Sure!" They look eachother in the eye again and Niall bends down to kiss her. "I think I like you!", he says which makes Kiana smile. "I think I like you, too! I can't even remember why I hated you in the first place!", she replys and kisses Niall again.
The door opens and the only thing they hear is a gasp. "Mum!" "What did you do in here? It looks like a bomb hit this place!", she says holding her hand to her forehead. "Uhm, yeah! I guess we're not the best bakers...", Niall laughs and Kiana joins in. "I can't disagree with you there, darling! But you will clean this!", Maura says and holds back her laughter. "Did the cookies survive the attack?", she asks. "Yes, they survived! Not one dead cookie!", Niall replys and his mother walks away again.
"So, where were we?", Niall asks lifting Kiana up onto the kitchen counter and pressing his lips on hers while she wraps her legs around him. "I have a suggestion...", Niall starts. "And what would that be?", Kiana asks trying not to laugh because she knows it's going to be something stupid. "I suggest we change our relationship... from enemies... to lovers!" Kiana nods in agreement.
