~ " I'll miss you to Pumpkin"~

P E Y T O N〰️
Sweetness fills the air as I walk into my Mother's bakery shop after a long day of school I just want a cupcake.
" Hey Sweetheart how was school?" My mom asks me as she walks to me with a pink cupcake.
" Same old Same old." I say trying to take the cupcake but she quickly snatches it back.

" Not until you help me and your nana with the shop." She says handing me an apron that has my name stitched on it.

" Fine" I groan throwing my backpack to the corner of the room. I walk to the front counter to help the customer who was looking for a red velvet cake which was right in front of his face but I just nicely point at the clear glass showing the cake... this will be a long day.

" Peyton !" My best friend Clara yells and runs to the counter towards me

" Guess who is coming." She says excitedly.

" Who?" I say clearly not being rubbed by her happiness

" Xander and his new girlfriend Alexa." She says the last part in disgust. My eyes widen

I've had a huge crush on Xander since the 5th grade when he first came to our school and I have never made a move the only time we talked was he told me that my shirt was inside out... and backwards in 6th. I look down at my apron which is clean.

" Take your hair out of the ponytail!" She whisper yells as the couple walks in

"No I'll get in trouble it's a policy!" I say annoyed

" Fine just act cool." She says backing a way to a seat not far.

" Hello welcome to the Whites Bakery Shop What can I get you." I fake smile

" Can we get two blueberry muffins." Xander says giving me a smile that takes my breath away.. pull it together Peyton! I quickly nod and grab the muffins from the other side and put them in a box.

" 4.00 please" I say with a smile which Xander smiles back to

" Who owns this bakery shop?" Alexa interrupts our moment.

" Um my mother that's why they call it the Whites because her last name is White..." I say hoping she understands.

" Oh I bet you must eat a lot here don't you!" She giggles. I don't know how I should take that. She quickly stops

" Oh sorry I didn't meant that you are fat or anything I just meant-" I quickly interrupt her

" It's fine" I say taking the money " Have a nice day." I say with the fakest smile anyone could've made in this situation.

" You to" Xander says as they walk out.

" Well That was a mess." Clara says walking towards me.

" I know right." I quickly look at the clock seeing that is 6:30

"Oh my god I gotta go my dad is leaving soon!" I say running to put my apron up " Wait where's you mom?"

" Making dinner I have to be home before 7 " I say running out the bakery

" Wait I'm coming with you!" Clara says grabbing my backpack I forgot and running out with me. The thing about Clara is that she is literally apart of my family we have been best friends since birth.. literally my and and her mom are best friends and we were born two days before each other She was first and I was last at the same hospital next door to each other... pretty crazy.
