Stonebrook High School

Chapter 4

After the strange encounter with the leather jacket group, the five happily made their way over to the classroom where the cupcakes were temporarily being held. They gave Petra ten cupcakes despite their inner voices screaming, "DON'T DO IT!!" Olivia received two and Axel took five, leaving them with 33 cupcakes. Both Jesses took one each, so that left them with 31.

"What are you guys going to do with all the extra cupcakes?" Axel asked in between gulps. "Could you, I don't know, cover your mouth as you talk?" Olivia asked sarcastically.

Jesse looked at his sister and they shrugged. "Originally we wanted to just pass them out to friends and stuff, but we might have to start randomly passing them out to people."

"Let's start early, then," Petra said as she shoved her seventh cupcake into her mouth.

Jess sweatdropped. "You might want to slow down before you start inhaling the 'cakes instead..."

~*Ω*~

They started passing out the cupcakes to random people who walked by them and eventually were down to ten in ten minutes.

"Coincidence? I think not," Jess smiled.

Another person walked by and they gave them a cupcake. They ate it happily.

"Who made these, by the way?" asked Olivia.

"Aunt Carrie," said the two siblings. Petra nodded in satisfaction. "I knew it. She makes the best cupcakes for miles around." Axel suddenly stiffened and he started to look around in a panic. "Shoot, I forgot! I gotta run, I'll see you guys later in class!" He ran off and left the others behind in a cloud of bewilderment.

"... What?" said Petra. The rest just shrugged. "No idea."

They gave away five more cupcakes and soon they were down to the last four.

"Man," Jess sighed, "I can't wait until these are gone. My first class is gonna be a pain if I'm late."

"You have ten minutes. That's plenty of time to give away four cupcakes and get to class," Olivia said.

Jesse shrugged with one shoulder. "My class is nearby, so I'm okay."

"Cupcakes?"

They turned and saw the black jackets, instantly recognizing the voice.

"Hello... Lukas," bitterly smirked Jess. She was feeling somewhat petty about the door and the run-in. "What a surprise." Jesse noticed her change in tone and he eyed Lukas questionably. Olivia also crossed her arms and stared at Lukas to make him uncomfortable. Petra didn't seem to notice these changes in atmosphere and greeted him instead.

"Hey, Lukas. Want a cupcake?"

"Sure. Cupcakes sound good."

"You're in luck, there's four left- one for each of you."

The Jesses and Olivia hadn't forgotten about the other three either. They had been exchanging smirks and glares as Petra gave them a cupcake.

"You're lucky I'm not making you pay for these," joked the pale girl. She checked her watch and sighed. "I gotta get to class. I'll see you all later." Petra walked off and weaved through the crowd of students.
