Phoenix Drop High (ON HOLD)

Chapter 15 - Kitchen Mess

Laurence's POV

"Hey get those - ow! Hey that hurts! Don't whack me with that! Can you get the spoon for the pancakes? Pleeease? I said the magic word, Cadenza. I - oh no... ohhhhh no..." I whispered.

"Great! Look at what you've done! You made the pancake explode! I thought you said you were good at making pancakes!" Candenza said angrily. "Now Garroth is going to kill us! We just trashed his kitchen!"

I sighed. "Cadenza, we can fix it! We just need Kiki, Dante, Nicole, and Aphmau's help!" Her eyebrows narrowed. "We don't need a bajillion people cleaning this kitchen! Okay, maybe we do-" I laughed. "Of course we do!"

"Ugh! Fine, but you're telling them, not me. And get a new t-shirt on while you're at it. You're covered in batter." She grabbed paper towels and put them on the counter. "Well, what are you waiting for! Just go and tell them! We don't have all day."

I smirked. "Weeeeell, we kinda do..." She glared at me. "Yep! I'm leaving! Going right now!" I said quickly, but not before grabbing some chocolate chips and getting some batter. Sticking it in my mouth, I ran outside the kitchen. Well, that's until I face-planted onto the wood, which hurt. Kind of a lot.

       "Laurence! Ohmygoshareyouokay!" Someone said quickly. Yeah! I'm perfectly fine, just got a thumping headache in my head with a possible bloody nose! See, I'm good as new! I looked up at her and saw Aphmau.

      I smiled. "Me? I'm fine, just have a slight concussion." She gasped, and I chuckled. "I'm just joking! Are you alright?" She nodded. "Good.

       "Soooooo... I guess we're just going to have a staring contest since we're already staring at each other?" I joked.

       Aph laughed. "No, silly. But if we did, I'd win! Here, let me help you up." She extended out her hand and pulled me up. "Let me get you a towel, your nose is bleeding. Pinch your nose and lift your head up!" She called while running to the kitchen.

"No! Wait don't go in the -" I was too late. She gasped. "We may - or may not - had - or not had - a very slight," Cadenza looked at me. "misunderstanding with the batter. IT WAS LAURENCE'S FAULT!" She accused out of nowhere.

"What! Me? I didn't do anything! You were the one stirring the batter!" I lied. "If anything, this is your fault!" Aph started grabbing paper towels and getting them wet, scrubbing frantically at the batter. "While you guys are arguing, I'm cleaning."

"Hey - no, stop! You don't have to do that! If anything, me and Cadenza should do that!" I grabbed her hand instinctively, and grabbed the wet towel and threw it in the trash can.

I started blushing like crazy, realizing we were sort of holding hands. I'm pretty sure I was just holding the outside of her hand, and her hand is just still. But to me, we were holding hands and would end up like those romance movies and look deep into each other's eyes, and slowly melt into a kiss... yeah no. I mean, she's cute and I like her personality but kissing? I'm not ready to kiss her anytime soon. Heck, we aren't even in a relationship! I sound like a little kid, don't I?

Aphmau's POV

How... how?! How could two human beings - even though they're siblings and cause trouble, mostly Laurence - create this mess!

There was batter splattered all around the pan and a few specks on the wall, along with big droplets on Laurence's grey baggy shirt. Good thing he hasn't changed into normal clothes yet. There was also blood droplets from Laure - Laurence's nose! I need to get him a towel!

I tore my hand from his and he let go. I grabbed a towel - no, wait, that was a napkin - and pressed it against his nose. "What are you doing? Why are yo - oooooh... heh, thanks!" He grabbed the napkin from my hands and pressed it there firmly.

"Hey what's all the ruckus about!" Garroth said as he walked through the door. His eyes widened, and looked from me to Cadenza to Aphmau and back to me. "Laurence... what is going on here?" He said, his British accent rising in pitch.

"Heh, well we were going to make pancakes, but... one exploded... we can clean it up, if you'd like." He said carefully.

Garroth smiled - no, he laughed. Gasping for air, he said, "Laurence! Why... how.... how! How could you even create this mess? I think we just discovered that Laurence's talent is creating messes!" He clutched his stomach.

I honestly didn't see what was so funny. We trashed his kitchen, Laurence slept on his table, and now the floor has blood and batter on it! Oh no, his parents! "Garroth, when are your parents coming home?"

"Oh! Don't you remember? My dad is on a business trip!" He said. "What about your mom?" I asked. "Isn't she coming home?"

Garroth pretended he didn't hear me. "Want me to help you guys clean up? I know where to get more cleaning supplies. And Laurence?"

"Yeah?"

"Get a new shirt on, please! They're in my ro - Laurence! Don't take off your shirt!" Laurence walked over to the trash bin, shirtless and flexed before throwing in into the trash. Really, Laurence?

"Nice abs, but do what Garroth says." I commanded. He saluted me and marched up the stairs into Garroth's room.

"Now, let's get cleaning!" Cadenza said, while grabbing some chocolate chips and putting all of them in her mouth. "C'mon guys!" She smiled with her chocolate-covered teeth.

Ooh! Longer chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter by yours truly!Also, since I live in the U.S ('Murica! F*** yeah! Sorry, I had to!) we have Thanksgiving break which lasts for one whole week. YEEEESSSS!
That week is next week, and I will be uploading randomly during the week. Wow, I said the word 'week' a LOT in that sentence. I will still upload on weekends, but probably during the week, too. So stay tuned for that.
(Break is from Nov. 21st to 29th)
