Eternity's Garden

Chapter 8; Party Plans

(AN//: Second Chapter today! I'm on a roll! WOOHOO! LeafSong out!)

For the next few weeks, we have been helping Adrianne with her Business Studies Stall work. Each year the BS class (yes, we call it that cause no one likes it, unless it's this time of year) puts on a stall that sells things from pillows, to book marks to lots of different types of foods. And Adrianne got permission from her teacher, on the condition that she does all the monetary mathematical stuff, we were allowed to help run the stall and make the goods. We decided on a 'Create Your Own Cupcake Stall' which means that people chose a cake flavour, an icing flavour and an array of toppings and it costs different things depending on what you chose. However, we are trying to come up with ideas on what types of cupcake flavours we should stock.

"So we already have Chocolate, Vanilla, Red Velvet and Lemon. What else do you think we need?" I look up from my list and glance up at the three other girls in Adrianne's room. I'm sitting in her desk chair, Ang and Adrienne on her double bed and Violet on a dining room chair that we pulled up so both of us could add to the list while Ang and Adrianne paint their nails a matching bright pink.

"Dude, we need Nutella ones! They'll sell out like that!" Ang clicks her fingers and sits up really quickly, disturbing one of the nail polish bottles, knocking it over and spilling it over the blanket.

"Angela! Watch what you're doing! I only just made my bed. Not I'll have to change the whole thing!" Ang pulls all the pillows and blankets off the bed and proceeds to strip her bedclothes off and pulls the new ones out of the bottom of her closet.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry you're such a princess too!" Ang screams at Adrianne I the most sarcastic voice she can muster. I get up out of my chair quickly to try and quell this argument before they start a fight or someone walks out.

"Woah, calm down. Hey, Adrianne, it was just an accident, don't worry. Ang, just say sorry – without the sarcasm and we can put this to rest. And by the way, great idea, we can even pipe Nutella into the center of them. We'd have to make extra ones of those though, Ang's right. They'd sell like crazy!" I sit back down as the girls look obviously in different directions, being obvious about how they're ignoring each other.

"What about salted caramel? That's all the rage in the food industry." Adrianne mumbles out while trying to wrestle her duvet into its cover. I think on it, salted caramel wouldn't sell as well as the rest of the other five, but... maybe?

"What about if we start a maybe pile, and we send out a survey and see what people would buy the most of." Violet grabs out another sheet of paper after three affirmatives form Adrianne, Ange and I. I walk back to my seat ion the bright pink plastic desk chair. I've kidnapped one of Adrianne's pillows to sit on because my back gets stiff really quickly if I sit down for too long. I sit down and there's a loud fart sound that comes from my chair. I jump up and almost fall onto the desk in my haste.

"Holy fuck, which one of you little shits did that!" I glare at Ang and Adrianne accusingly. It had to be one of them. They're always pulling pranks on me when I least expect it. The last few even I had to laugh at, as they figured out my password and posted a thing on Facebook, and changed my relationship status from 'single' to 'In a relationship', the catch was they created a Facebook profile for my right hand, and then set it full of pics zoomed in on my right hand only. So that was a big laugh, and on the status itself, there was a numerous amount of crude and hilarious comments that got us all laughing.

The two girls looked at me, trying to hold back laughter.

"Sorry Ro, but it wasn't us this time!" Ang then burst into a laughing fit and Adrianne chuckled slightly at someone else pranking me. I turn around to Violet, with a smirk and an eye roll.

"Okay, well done. You got me..." I snicker to myself." Never picked you to be the pranking type. But now I know, you better try a little harder next time sweet cheeks. I'm on to you!" I remove the Whoopee Cushion from underneath the pillow on the chair and sit back down. "Right, what else should go on the maybe list? Banana?" The girls nod and Violet jots that down on the list below salted caramel.

We spend the rest of the day planning the ligament cupcake flavours, but there was one thing left to do.

"Last thing on the Work Agenda for today, what flavour are we giving Damian? Cause, it needs to be bad. Really, really bad. You got any ideas?"

"Dog crap."

"Tequila."

"Vomit."

"Dog Food."

"We could always bleed in a cupcake. Period flavour cupcakes!" Ang beamed at this idea, but the rest of us just looked at her.

"Yeah, but how would we bake that into a cupcake, tampons swell and pads are too big anyway." I say, shutting her idea down quickly. It was a good idea, just not entirely plausible.

"Oh my god, I have the best one. It's terrifyingly gross, and it would take some work, but... It's a plan. And it can be baked into a cupcake. Plus it would look like an innocent cupcake. And unlike Ang's plan, we wouldn't have to touch it completely. But I is super gross!" Adrianne wrote down her idea. It was absolutely spine tingling, and... the ingredient might be harder to obtain than most other ideas.

"Yeah, but how would we get one of those? I mean, period blood we can obtain, but... that? I mean, who's going to volunteer to get one of those off somebody? And..." I cut off violet with a hand. I immediately had an idea that would piss Damien off further.

"I'll get it. Means we have extra ammo to use if we need it. Plus, there's a party on this weekend at one of the year 12's houses so it wouldn't be that hard. So don't worry. If one of you agrees to help me clean up afterwards we can get it. Violet, you don't have to come to the party, but, we'd all love it if you did. No pressure what so ever." I then give her by best puppy-dog-eyes impression.

"If you guys want me there..." We all run and group tackle Violet, who had just retreated into her shell after we asked her to come to the party, but I'm so excited to go with her. This should be great!
