CHAPTER 9

"You have four hours to bake a blueberry cheesecake. Ang inyong magiging score sa performance na ito ay mang gagaling mismo kay Miss Althea." paliwanag ni Miss Clarissa. Mas lalong lumamig ang kwarto.

"Please, don't be nervous. Good luck!" sabi ni Althea ay tumingin sa akin. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya at ganoon din siya.

"Are you all ready? In a count of three you can start baking." ani Miss Clarissa. "In three.... two..... one!"

Nag mamadali ang lahat nang marinig ang numerong uno. Maingay ang buong silid.

"Sara is it okay if we follow your recipe instead?" ani Ash. "Para hindi na din tayo mahirapan." dagdag nito.

My eyes winded. "Oo naman! Sigurado ka ba?"

"Of course! I really loved your blueberry cheesecake. I will be fine with your recipe." she smiled. I nodded my head.

"Okay, then, let's start." I said and started to fix the ingredients we needed.

I took a cup of graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, cream cheese, sour cream, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, eggs, blueberries and blueberry jelly—and placed it on our table.

Nalingunan ko ang iba naming kaklase na nag sisimula na. Tumingin ako kay Ash na halatang sobrang kinakabahan dahil sa nanginginig nitong kamay.

Lumapit ako sa kaniya at hinawakan ang magkasaklob niyang kamay. Umangat ang tingin niya sa akin kaya nginitian ko siya.

"It will be alright. I promise you." I assured her. She finally smiled at me and nodded her head.

I started to mix graham crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl until it was well combined. I use the spatula to pat it into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Three hours and twenty minutes have passed and we are still waiting for the cake to be cooked. Everyone is panicking because we only have thirty minutes left.

"Shit thirty minutes na lang." kinakabahang sambit ni Ash.

Maging ako ay kinakabahan na ngunit hindi ko iyon pinapakita upang hindi pa lalong kabahan si Ash. Mabilis na tumakbo ang oras at nang mag announce si Miss Clarissa na may natitita na lang na limang minuto ay lalo akong kinabahan.

At nang matapos na ay kinuha ko na ang tray at nagsimula na kaming mag design para sa plating nito.

I put the pink icing above the cake and Ash made a flower design icing, we added it on the side of the slice cake.

"Three..." Miss Clarissa started to count. "Two... And hands in the air." She announced.

May mga umangol dahil sa hindi sila nakatapos may iba ring nag mura dahil umabot sila pero hindi natapos ang pag plating. Nilingon ko si Ash na ngayon ay na iiyak na. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya na para sabihing tapos na.

"Thank you." She mouthed.

Umiling ako. "Thanks to you." balik ko.

Ganito ang kaba namin dahil ang points sa ganitong pagluluto namin ay one-hundred points na ang katumbas sa grades ay ninety percent.
