Taking care of Liam and Peter went okay, they didn't make any pranks or the kind of things kids of their age do. Plus, making Emma red as a tomato was totally worth it. Maybe she was the person who blushed at everything, some of his friends were too. Today was the 28th of November, and he had promised Emma to go with her to the bakery. But it wouldn't be that simple, Emma was going to do something. He could sense it, maybe he could back up.
But it was too late.

"So, we're really going to the bakery?"
"Yup."
"Not lying?"
"Nope."
***
"I hate you."
"You don't."
"You told me we were going to the bakery."
"And we are at the bakery."
"We were just taking some things up."
"We are."
"BUT WE'RE IN A BAKING COURSE."
"KEEP IT DOWN BOY."
"See! You're embarrassing me!"
"..."
"Rodrigo wouldn't come with me!"
"You want me to learn how to make fucking gingerbread men?"
"LANGUAGE! THERE ARE KIDS IN HERE."
"Ughh! Could you not curse, act civilized and just accompany me?"
"..."
"..."
"Okay."
"Good."

Hello, my name is Kristine Miranda and I'll be the teacher for this small lesson. Class, for this Christmas, we'll learn to make gingerbread men! It's super easy, and sure your family members will love it."
"Hate it."
"Mister."
"..."
"Mister!"
"What, me?"
"Yes, you. Could you come and help me?"
"Yes, he wants to."
"Emma, what are you doing?"
"Pushing you. Go."
"I-"
"Please, come."
"..."
"So, what's your name?"
"Calvin."
"Well, Calvin, let's begin."
***
"Please, open the flour. After that, pour 3/4-"
"..."
"..."
"Oops?"
"CALVIN."
***
"It was a bad idea for me to come."
"..."
"I didn't mean it."
"..."
"Emma?"
"..."
"Sorry?"
"Are you kidding? THAT WAS THE BEST THING EVER! She was so mean with me, I hated her! She may have deserved flour on all of her face."
"..."
"Just maybe."
"Will we return?"
"Nah, there are much funnier things to do. Come!"
"..."
"I had a great time tho. Thanks, Calvin."
"For ruining the baking curse?"
"Yes."
