It was a bright and lively afternoon in Rosemeadow today. Hailey Austin was in her kitchen, with her hair held up in a bun and a white apron with a pattern of flowers tied around her waist. Being in a good mood, Hailey had decided that she would bake some cupcakes for her family of five. The cupcakes' sponge would be of a golden-brown colour, topped off with some icing in the shape of a swirl, the colour being a glistening pink.

Right now, the cupcakes were already baked as they were just pulled out of the oven, its fresh aroma taking over the kitchen, entering anyone's nostrils the second they stepped in, making them drool at the delightful smell. Hailey placed the cupcakes on a cooling rack, dragging her oven gloves off her palms.

"Alright, Jake. Let's just give these cupcakes maybe 10 minutes, and then we can put on the icing, okay?" Hailey turned around to the blond-haired teenager, smiling at him.

"Yes, ma'am!" Jake saluted, chuckling afterwards. Hailey just rolled her eyes in amusement as she put the oven gloves back into its respective place.

Throughout her baking session, Hailey's good friend Jake had helped her. He had come over to the club president's house a while ago for a visit, and it just so happens that Hailey had planned on doing some baking that same day. For the afternoon, Hailey suggested to her friend that he offered her some assistance, which he happily obliged.

Jake and Hailey had a lot of fun as they baked. They laughed with eachother, cracked a lot of jokes, and talked about the most random things. Jake had never baked cupcakes before ever. He wasn't much of a baker, and never usually made time for himself to do some of his own home baking back at his place. Jake questioned to himself while he and Hailey baked on why he didn't do this more often. Baking sure was a lot of fun.

"I'm sure these cupcakes are gonna turn out delicious, princess!" Jake exclaimed excitedly, almost squealing. Hailey couldn't help but find his ecstatic behaviour absolutely darling.

"God, I hope so. Zander is in an extremely bad mood today, you have no idea. He's been up in his room all day. Maybe these cupcakes of ours can help cheer him up?" Hailey replied, the sweet scent of her baked goods brushing against her nose, making her insanely desperate to taste them.

"Does Zander like cupcakes?" Jake asked, leaning his body against the kitchen counter.

"Well.." Hailey held a finger up towards her chin. "He does like my baking!" She laughed, causing Jake to giggle at the remark as well.

"We all love your baking, Hails!" Hailey couldn't help but blush a little at Jake's compliment. "No matter what, your baking always tastes delicious!"

Hailey sheepishly chuckled, stroking her arm as she glanced at the ground. "Aww, thanks Jake. But this time, I didn't do the baking by myself. You helped me! So, these cupcakes are gonna be the outcome of your baking skills."

Hailey pressed a finger onto his chest, smirking up at him. Jake returned the grin, shrugging his shoulders. "Then that simply means that they are gonna be the best cupcakes in the world if I'm the one that baked them!" Jake boasted proudly, hearing Hailey sigh to herself at his cockiness.

"Oh, you.." Hailey mumbled, smiling just a bit. She then turned her attention towards the cupcakes, wondering if they have cooled down by now. "Should we check on the cupcakes and see if they have cooled off?" Jake nodded his head at Hailey's question.

"Sure thing!" Jake agreed, as the two of them walked themselves over to the wire rack that held the cupcakes, showing them off in display. Hailey gave one of them a light touch, just briskly feeling the sponge with a finger of hers. They didn't seem to be piping hot anymore. They were now quite cool.
