Cupcake A Day

Chapter Fourteen:

hey guys, no i am not going into writer hibernation, i was updating other books for a period of time i am very sorry but now i am back for a couple weeks until i leave for summer camp!!! also my shift key on the left side of my computer is broken so excuse my multitude of uncapatilized things... i am not used to using the one on the left :0 enjoy reading!!

I arrive home to an empty apartment, to my dismay. With a single, hastily written note on the kitchen. 

Austy, 

Out for dinner with Stells, be back late. Hope you can survive a couple hours without me :)

M

Ughhhh. I sigh and put the note on my desk while getting to work on all of these stupid "about you" sheets. I lowkey thought that it would have stopped after elementry school but I guess not here. Besides, its not like these teachers will be able to know me very well. I scrible away but cant help wonder what he is doing or where he took her. He asked me for dinner recomendations the other day so it must be one of those places, i told him my favorite places and now he is taking her to them... 

*sighs* 

I told the blog that I would be taking a break while filming the show, and luckily most of them responded well. There is always a hate comment once and awhile but I try to ignore them. I have a vlog going too, which is surprisingly gaining popularity! I was so excited when I hit 17k subscribers the other day, and this is just in the span of three months or so! Kinda seems like nothing compared to people with hundreds of thousands of subscribes or like even a million, but I personally am very proud. 

I set up my camera on its little stand and adjust the lighting in my room to get good lighting. 

"Hey everyone and welcome back to Baker Austyn's vlog. I guess I shouldn't call myself 'Baker Austyn' because I have other types of videos, which if you guys check out my page I have sorted them into sections based on the type of video. Comment below with some new nicknames for me." I point my fingers down. "Be sure to like and subscribe, turning on that little notification bell to be alerted when I post." I cut the camera and move to my room where I have my outfit of the week. "This week I am going to do one of those outfit of the week things I have seen a lot of youtubers do, since a lot of you comment about my fashion choice I think it is only apporpriate to add this in."

I take them through my week from mondays jean skirt and white jack rogers to thursdays film day black skinny jeans with a ivory ella t-shirt and these pale pink high top vans to sunday's chill stripped t-shirt dress with socks. Sunday is my update day where I usually have one or two videos to upload in addition to my one bake a week which I have reduced myself two since filming started. 

I prop my camera up then run and flop on my bed. "Anyways, those are my outfits. Little update on my life I have offically made friends! One of my older bestfriends Ryan, if you fallowed my baking blog or instagram you would recognize Hailey and Ryan, showed me his whole group so I made friends guys!!! I had my first day of filming which was super fun and I can't wait for the show to come out in May! I am going to have such a hard time keeping the results to myself so I might take a little vlog break during that time. Anyways, hugs and kisses and always keep dreaming! 

Aaaaaaand cut!"

I mimick the closing thing they do and cut the camera, then sit at the computer to start editing. 

"Shoot I have homework!" I realize as I start the small pile I had left unfinished earlier.

"Hey..." Micheal says coming back with his hair a little moist and looking a little, hmm, breathless sort of. His skin, which got a little tan over the summer, also looks a little mosit. Yuck. 

Oh my god did they...?

My mind imediatly jumps elsewhere than the homework I was trying to do. 

"Oh! Uh hey." I respond after a beat. His face contorts a little, in a confused way and then he taps the frame of the door and leaves. I try not to hid my disapointment of our short lived conversation and get ready for bed.

"What do you know about Aiden Shultz?" I ask Hailey while preparing today's dessert for the blog/vlog. 

"Varsity alpine ski and lacrosse." 

"Ohhh interesting."

"AP Bio and calc but other than that he has like honors and regulars."

"Any family info?"

"Modest family, two older siblings one younger. They have an appartment around here and a ski house up north. He has that sandy prep boy cut with green eyes. Everyone has that same hair color but he is the only one with the green eyes."

"Sounds pretty good."

"Why?"

"He is my bio partner and invited me to hang out at the park. Not a date, just to hang and talk because quote, 'we will be with eachother for a long time, we might as well be good friends.'"

"Not gonna lie he gives a preppy jock vibe. Maybe a good one I am not sure about that yet. I don't know his tone so I can't tell if he wants to get in your pants or not." She says giggling.

"Well he chose the park of all places so I hope not."

"Are you saying you would like... make out or have sex with him?" 

"Maybe... a girl needs her needs."

"But what about... M - I - C - H - E - A - L?" She whispers. 

"Don't worry he is on a date with the perfect devil."

"Again?"

"Mmm" I nod, pausing to take photos of my frosting in a piping back before I frost a few cupcakes and hand one to Hailey. 

"Its so annoying we don't have classes together. You just need to know there names so I know who you are talking about."

I laugh and smile, "Will do. Anyways I think I will say yes."

"Of course you should say yes silly, its just hanging out as of right now."

"He wants to do it afterschool tommorow."

"So lets pick out a cute outfit!"

"Ugh I just finished editing my outfits of the week though."

"You can refilm this part! Come on!"

With Hailey's advice I get a cozy striped jumper and white converse. I have a zip up light grey sweatshirt in case I am cold at school but it is supposed to be super sunny so I added my ray bands for afterschool. 

"I am not being to extra about it am I?" I ask her while folding everything and laying it out on a counter in my room. 

"Nah, its not everyday a super cute, smart, well rounded guy asks you to 'hangout', whatever he means by that."

"I suppose only time will tell his intensions..."
