"You mean we have to make sweets and bring candy?" Zaylee asked, raising her brow at me.
I flipped the paper back around so I could read the cursive writing again. I nodded my head, slightly disappointed we couldn't prepare a different event.
"Can anybody bake?" I glanced up at everybody. Every single person looked a bit unsure about it.
"Bake? Like, make actual food?" Waverly asked me with disbelief, her green eyes widening.
I pursed my lips, knowing she wouldn't like my answer. "Well, I'm sure two of us could make Halloween- er, Hallow's Eve pastries and the other two could bring store-bought candy."
Waverly muttered something incoherent under her breath and turned her face to the side. I scratched the back of my neck uncomfortably. This was not going well.
I heard a group of students behind us begin talking about what sounded like a haunted house. Damn, that group project sounded way more fun. But I'm not quite sure how our group would have been able to handle it.
"I refuse to bake." Waverly folded her arms across her chest, pouting like a child.
Reece and Zaylee were both keeping quiet. I sighed, this project was no longer bringing any fun to my day. Why? I don't understand what I did to deserve this.
"Well, I guess if I had to I could bake." I shifted back and forth on my feet, nervous about taking on this role.
Zaylee looked at me and smiled. She raised her hand and opened her mouth about to say anything. Someone else spoke before she could which caused us both to snap our heads to the other voice.
"I'll bake pastries too." Reece grinned at me.
Waverly turned her attention towards him, giving off a surprised look. Zaylee gave off a sour look and sighed. I raised my eyebrow at him.
"You will?" I asked, almost a hundred percent sure he was going to pair up with Waverly.
"Yeah." He continued grinning.
I felt another sneeze coming and instantly held my elbow to my mouth. Within a second, I sneezed into my blazer. I almost forgot that I'd been constantly sneezing all day. Almost.
Even though Zaylee didn't say anything, I know she wasn't very happy about having to pair up with Waverly to buy candy. I have a sneaking suspicion that one of them will not participate.
"Do you want to make the bloodless or the blood-filled pastries?" Reece suddenly asked.
"Huh?" I looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
He rolled his eyes and smiled playfully. I pushed some loose dark strands of hair behind my ear, feeling my cheeks heat up.
"Do you want to make the bloodless or the blood-filled pastries-"
"Bloodless!" I suddenly blurted.
Reece stared at me with his mouth still open. He closed his mouth after a few seconds. I nervously laughed and looked away, knowing I probably sounded suspicious.
"Huh, I would've bet that you'd choose to make the blood-filled sweets," Reece said.
I flinched whenever he said 'blood-filled'. It didn't sound right at all. Just imagining it made me want to cringe and hide in a corner.
