"Louis, are you ready for this?" I turn to Louis with determination.

"I don't think we have a chance, Jess. None of our food has turned out the way it was supposed to." Louis looks down at our ingredients with a worried expression.

"Not with that attitude! Let's kick this pie in the ass." Louis looks at me weird and I realize what I just said. "Oh you know what I mean!"

For our baking final we have to bake a pie. We made the crust on Tuesday and on Thursday, which is today, we have to make the filling and bake it in the oven. Then while it is baking we have to make homemade whipping cream. Our crust turned out decent. It tastes like a normal crust, but looks sort of ugly.

"Why are you in such a good mood? Did Niall finally put out?" Louis smirks at me.

"No! I am in a good mood, because this is my last final. My next class is my t.a class, so I will just grade papers. Tonight while I am enjoying my freedom you will all still be studying, suckers!" This semester was a piece of cake or should I say a piece of pie.

"I hate you." Louis glares at me. He then picks up the apple pie recipe. "Let's make a pie."

Louis and I get to work. While I measure all the ingredients, Louis stirs it together. I look over at Rae and Harry and they are almost done.

"Look at those two." I say loud enough for them to hear. "They make me sick."

"Me too." Louks catches on and talks just as loud.

By this time Harry and Rae are both looking at us. Rae rolls her eyes while harry smirks at us.

"I'm surprised you two even made it this far. Do you need some tips?" Harry acts overly confident and for a split moment I hope their pie burns.

"Over my dead body." Louis looks at Harry seriously. "Who ever makes the best pie gets a free dinner. Losers pay."

"Louis, what are you-"

"Deal!" Harry cuts me off.

"Alright, Mr. Cocky, let's get to work." I flick Louis' arm.

We spend the next hour making whipping cream and checking on our pie as it bakes. By the time the buzzer goes off I am convinced that we have lost. There is no way we will beat Harry. He worked in a bakery for three years. Louis and I never had a chance. At least this little contest got him to stop complaining. If anything our roles have switched. I'm the one complaining while Louis repeats "we got this!" With my negative attitude I pull our pie out of the oven. To my surprise it looks normal.

"Hey Louis, look at it." I keep staring at the pie in amazement.

Louis walks over and says, "I told you that we had this."

"Don't get cocky yet. We haven't seen Harry and Rae's pie yet." I pick up the pie with cooling pads and take it to our table. "And Mrs. Jack has to taste it."

Louis brings a plate over and we place a piece of the pie on the plate. We add some whipping cream. We try to make the presentation of the slice of pie nice, but neither of us are that creative.

Soon a buzzer is going off, letting us know that our time is up. I take a deep breath and then slowly breathe out. This buzzer is letting me know that my finals are now over. My winter break has officially begun.

Louis and I watch as Mrs. Jack makes the rounds. She tries a taste of each pie. If you watch closely you can tell whose pie taste good. As she gets close to us I look over at Rae and Harry. They both have a nervous expression. I look down at their pie and laugh. I elbow Louis and when he looks at me I point to their pie. Louis chuckles and looks over at me. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with their pie. Its plain and simple. Mrs. Jack specifically said to test our limits. Harry and Rae took the easy route.
