My dad Cadee and I video chatted a bit as I did my homework for almost all my classes even my baking class. Though I didn't have homework for my Shakespeare class yet. But as soon as we did I knew not would either be easy or difficult. That's what Mr.Vandenhoff said anyway. Anyway, during my video chat with dad, he asked me how my first day was which I told him was fine of course. Then I brought up my Shakespeare teacher Mr.Vandenhoff and he thought I had a weird crush on him. He was scolding me saying I had a boyfriend until I explained myself that I did not and would not have a crush on him or anyone in a relationship.

After our call, I had finished almost all my work. The last thing I had to do was my assignment for my baking class. But Taylor was out buying us ingredients so I had to wait for him before starting really. Which I waited while staring at the ceiling bored. Beck was also in our baking class so maybe I could invite him to join us on working on our assignment. I smiled biting my lip as I pulled my phone out again. It would be nice to see his face again since in class I, of course, have to focus on what I need to get focused on. I gave him a call and it rang twice before he picked up.

"Hey Swift." he panted and my face got hot.

"Wh-What are you doing?!" I practically yelled into the phone.

"One ow and two I'm at the gym," he grumbled.

"At the gym, for what?" I huffed trying to not think of Beck in gym clothes and seeing his chest.

"My workout. Gotta stay in shape." I heard him grunt.

"Well, I guess that means your too busy to make cookies with Chuck and me." I pouted playing with my cover a bit as I heard him making noises of discomfort.

"Not exactly and cookies? That's so basic." he chuckled and I glared even though he wasn't here to see as my heart pace still quickened by the sound.

"It depends on the cookies and shut up." I huffed sitting up on my bed.

"Were you going to make chocolate chip cookies?" he asked and I went quiet before the silence ended when he starting laughing. "You were, weren't you? Well after my workout how about we make something else that is more challenging?" he asked breathing hard.

"Okay.." I chewed my lip gently and shook my head to ignore his way of speech.

"Great I'll text you when I'm done," he said before I could open my mouth to reply his line went dead making me huff.

I put my phone on the charger at the same time I heard a click. Looking up I saw Chuck coming in with about three grocery bags. I got up and grabbed one that looked heavy to look what was in there. He bought milk one was the regular while the other was chocolate. He placed the other two on my bed.

"All the ingredients are here. I also bought extra milk." Chuck smiled proudly.

"Um well that's good Chuck but I kind of invited Beck to join us and he says we shouldn't be so basic," I said and Chuck just stared at me for a while.

"You mean to tell me you weren't going to call or text me saying that and I just spent my money for nothing?!" he shouted throwing his hands in the air.

"No, not exactly...I was going to but you already came in as I put my phone on the charger. And we can still make the cookies." I suggested but Chuck had lost his cool and went into the bathroom shutting the door a bit hard. I was about to open the door but he opened it fast. "Tell Beck he's a basic guy and our basic cookies are fantastic and he won't be getting any when we make them for our own enjoyment." he snapped and I laughed nodding.

Beck, Chuck, and I were in the kitchen area for this dormitory. Chuck was giving Beck ugly looks that I wasn't sure if he was being playful or actually mad. Beck had bought ingredients some we ready had but the more left over the better. We could always use them later. I helped by getting the tools we needed. Beck said we were going to make small multiple blueberry pies that could kind of pass as cookies by the size. I just hoped they taste good since blueberry can taste tarty when baked into something.

Beck said we could use another fruit if we didn't like blueberry. Chuck didn't seem to care much for the fruit and poured some of the blueberries into a bowl. I decided I wanted strawberries and poured some in another bowl. Chuck grabbed the bag of strawberries after me and poured some into the same bowl as the blueberries.

I started the camera on my phone then set it up so it would record what we were doing. That was also apart of our assignment. Beck had the recipe in the middle of all of us so we could look at me but Beck was still walking us through the process. He was a good instructor and didn't go too fast or too slow. I might have got behind though because I started working slow getting lost in his movements and tone of voice.

"Swift," I heard him say suddenly causing me to jump a bit.

"Ye-yes?" I said lifting up the wooden spoon I had and flinging what would be pie crust in the air. "Sorry," I muttered about to clean it up but Beck stopped me.

"I'll clean it up. You keep working on that. Chuck is already making his mini pies." Beck said getting paper towels and I huffed continuing to work.

Chuck finished his mini pies before Beck and of course me. I would edit the video since it was taking longer. Also, I would have to make another video since I stopped it when Chuck was finished. I didn't want the video to run off too long. Chuck was going to wait for us to get done but I told him to go since it was my fault things were running long. After persuading him for a while he gave up with trying to stay and told me he would probably be in our dorm or Izze's. Either way, he would be hanging out with her.

"Finally." I sighed to myself as I got them in the oven leaning back against the counter.

I caught Beck looking at me he looked away shaking his head with a smile. I huffed feeling my cheeks get hot. He had his in the oven before me. He was just waiting for the timer to go off but he was still glancing at his creation constantly.

"Maybe you should have made cookies," Beck says smirks in my direction making me shoot him a glare.

"Excuse you I am doing just fine." I lied and he laughed pushing me on the edge by the sound.

"Sorry, Swift your right. I hope they taste good. You want to try mine?" he asked as the timer went off for his.

"I hope so too and no thanks." I murmured as he put oven mitts on and got his mini pies out placing them on the counter to cool down.

I moved over to my phone to stop the recording only to restart it again but more focusing on me and my mini pies in the oven. Looking over at Beck our eyes met. I looked away trying to focus on my mini pies like he was doing.

"Hey, Swift." I heard him say but it sounded like he was close and I looked up to see him in my space.

"Be-Beck." I tried stepping back but realized I was backed up to the counter already.

My face felt like it was on fire. We stared at each other but I couldn't hold his gaze. I eventually looked away but soon felt his fingers on my chin before he lifts it up so we were looking eye to eye again. I didn't know this feeling but I knew what he was doing and how this goes. Multiple times my parents have done this and its disgusting of course because that's how a child would feel seeing it usually. But with Beck and I doing it I was scared and at the same time wanting to dive into it.

Our staring would seem weird but to me, it wasn't. I was getting lost in his eyes and as he leaned in I moved in closer. His lips pressed against mine and instantly I was wrapping my arms around his neck kissing back. Space was not a word I no longer understood at that moment because I just pulled him closer as I could and kept trying. He was doing the same so space was the last thing we wanted. The kiss got heated and my hands his shirt started gripping it gently.

And that was bad. This was bad. I was a virgin surprisingly for most who would think most can't leave high school being a virgin. But I did and I thought I would leave college a virgin too. And now I didn't think so. His body was pressed to mine and mine was pressed to his and the counter. While one half of me said I should stop the other said to keep going. I wanted this but what if I got pregnant? My dads would be pissed. But they weren't for Onyx...too long. This was different. I was supposed to be-

BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!

Next thing I knew the oven looked like it was steaming near us. I realized I didn't start a timer for my mini pies. We both pulled away quickly as sprinklers went off. I gasped in shock as the cold water hit me hard.

"Sweet Apples." I spat.
