In Time

I S-CREAM, U S-CREAM!!

Ezra stares at me weirdly as I greet him, which i suppose is probably because of the remnants of the goofy smile still on my face. And also maybe due to the fact that that my current mood is drastically different from the snippy, gloomy ,depressed girl he'd had the misfortune of knowing in school today.

''You seem much better.'' He comments, and my theory is proven correct, he's surprised by my 180 degree turn.

''It's all thanks to you.'' It really is and you probably don't know how much.

''What?''

''Nothing forget about it.'' I wave it off.

''Soooooo why are you here, not that you can't be, but there must be a specific reason, not that you have to tell me, and i'm rambling. Sorry can I get you something?'' That ladies and gentlemen is the most pathetic way of changing a subject and being an idiotic rambling mess.

I wanna slap myself.

Ezra on the other hand though looks surprised by my bright behavior, however the amusement in his eyes regarding my rambling idiocy does not go unnoticed by me. 

Embarrassing much?!

'' Yes I'm here for a reason and no i have no trouble telling it to you.'' I can see that hint of a smile! He's purposely doing this. 

''I'm actually here with the twins and Morgan, apparently we all, including you share the Art class, which we both missed due to reasons. Anyway the class was divided in groups and we all are together in this project, on which our year end grades will rely on. I would've invited you but well I didn't think it would be proper to do so.'' At the end he rubs his neck again, in that act of discomfort, and I realize that it's not that he doesn't talk alot, it's that he doesn't like to or rather doesn't know how to keep up a conversation.

Cute.

'' Well as you can see, i'm feeling quite alright now so I can join you guys, but I'm still on my shift so we'll have to discuss while I also work.''

He nods in an affirmative and goes to pick up the other three, while I tend to a customer.

I see all four of them take the seat right in front of my counter of baked goods with confused expressions. I'm assuming that they don't know I'm here. Ezra leans down to say something and in the very next moment I'm attacked by Felix and Felicity. Especially Felicity.

''Are you Okay?''

''Why'd you run off?''

''I'm sorry''

''Did you go to the nurse''

''I'm really very very super genuinely sorry.''

''Are you in pain?''

''I can beat this bitch up if you want me to.''

That last one was from Felix who's looking at his sister accusingly.

''No I don't think Heather will appreciate blood on her floor Felix, and Felicity it's quite alright, stop freaking out and lastly, would you two move back?'' they are seriously all up in my face, in my personal space.

Heeding my request they move away but Felicity still looks guilty and Felix is still glaring at her.

To put a rest to their tension, I take off my gloves and show them my hand which is bandaged and all fine, it wasn't that deep anyway, the after affect however was. Regardless I didn't even feel the pain. Have enough emotional damage and physical scratches like this don't seem much.

'' Look it's fine okay, doesn't even hurt.'' I put my other hand over it just for proof.

They both seem to calm a little. In the mean while my eyes drift over to Morgan who's quietly watching us and I wave a  hi and smile at her.

''Now settle down you idiots, and tell me what we're working on.''

The twins brighten up and along with a quiet Morgan and an uncomfortable, brooding Ezra make their way to the table. I on the other hand ask heather if it would be fine to talk while waiting on a customer and she says yes, thus I also make my way over to my group? i guess. We certainly aren't friends or all buddy buddy and chummy with each other. So i suppose group it is.

''Morgan if you will do the honors.'' Felix begins. And we all look to her to begin explaining, who by the way looks slightly uncomfortable.

She pushes her glasses up the bridge of her nose and begins. ''W-Well the teacher said, that in groups of 5 we all have to make a certain art work. There are no limits excepts that it has to be large scale, and anyone who wants to work on a mural can borrow the school's back wall. However only one group can do so. Other than that any group c-can do whatever they want and it can also be similar, to another's, like sculptures or paintings etc.'' 

Well it was pretty free so i suppose it'll be easy to work with a broad view and unlimited choices.

''A-also,'' she continues, '' The judging will be based on the teamwork and how well the piece is developed, the technique, the meaning, color palet and all that. Plus we have to submit what we are doing by Friday.''

Okey.

''So what have you guys decided on?'' I inquire. personally i wanna do the mural but i'll see what the the others wants, this is after all a group project.

''I want to do the mural, and as far as i know no one else is doing it.'' Ezra puts in his two cents, speaking for the first time in our conversation.

'' I wouldn't mind it either.'' Morgan speaks up in her quaint voice.

''I'm all with the mural too.'' i agree. and the twins nod in agreement from the sides.

So i guess the decision is made, we'll be doing a mural. Fun. No seriously, it's fun, no sarcasm.

The bell chimes and i look over to find another customer making their way over to my counter. I swiftly get to work making a blueberry muffin and icing it in swirls with Vanilla cream.

As the customer leaves i ask if any of my group mates would want something and guess what, all of them requested a chocolate cupcake. We've all got one thing in common then. Chocolate is life. Seriously that's one of the few things that make me happy to be alive, not that there are many. 

Sad.

Anyways i take up all four cupcakes, actually 5, i picked one up too, it's too delicious not to.
So i take them upto the booth they're seated at and place them down, then i look up and i know that same crazy sparkle is in my eyes whenever i decorate a cake or something or use cream to ice anything.

''So.... any decorative requests?'' I ask cheerily, yeah i'm cream obsessed.

Every one calls out their preferences and i get to work.

So i'm currently lying on Ezra's lap looking up at him as he sits there surprised. Morgan is on the floor with the booth table tilted to her side, looking in pain and again surprise. While Felix looks murderous and Felicity has that innocent 'Oops! i'm sorry?' look.

I slowly, dangerously, eyes narrowed, turn to Felix. '' I don't think heather will mind the blood. Felix, I'll take you up on that offer. Beat this bitch up.''

Felix gives me an appreciative nod and in the next moment Felicity's face is covered in Cream as she let's out a loud scream with Felix then jumping on top of her.

Scream, rhymes with Cream. I like it. It's my favorite sound out of Felicity made by the help of my favorite tool and treat. Hehehehehehehe.

Someone clearing their throat is what pulls me out of my creepy, evil, in-brain laugh. It's Ezra looking down at me, still baffled by what just happened and is still happening. Felix is staying true to his words, that's my boy. And i'm still lying on Ezra's lap. And i don't bother getting up because one, i have a nice view of Felicity screaming. And second, his lap is pretty comfy, even if i'm in a awkward position.

Who cares?! i certainly don't. This is some drama i am not going to miss. Get me a popcorn someone.

''Ow. you little bi- OW!! STOP. Fuck you!'' '' Fuck you too, son of a-OW!!'' This is gold, i'm recording it even. Felicity has Felix's hair in her hands and is pulling it with her force. On the other Hand Felix is not relenting and is pulling her hair too. Both are sprawled on the booth, and Felicity has just landed a punch to Felix's nose and things do not look good as we see blood seeping out. But Felix has yet not given up as he lands a slap and pushes her away but not before Felicity kicks his shin. The score is at a standstill, neither side is ready to surrender-

''STOP THIS!!!!'' Heather's voice rings out, pulling me out of my internal commentary. Everyone stands or lies or remains sprawled, or in their positions completely still. 

She's glaring down at us, but i didn't miss the amused look. I've caught you Heather. Ha!

''What in Lord's name are you youngster's doing?! You've flipped the booth, got cream all over my floors and your clothes and are all out brawling!! Are you lot Crazy!!''

And in unision, Morgan and Ezra included, we all point to the she demon lying under Felix with a bruised cheek and split lip. Ouch! But Felix looks equally bad, even worse, at least Felicity doesn't have nail marks running down her face. Poor Felix.

''She started it.!!!'' 

'' Well i don't care who it was, all of you get up and clean this mess and you're paying for anything broken.''

''Yes ma'am'' We salute and quickly get up from where we all are in a mess. Ezra helps me up because, well just because. I'm lazy and his arms on my shoulders felt nice. He's a comfy guy. Not that he's fat or soft, i don't know!! He's just comfortable. Whatever.

As we get up, we notice the 6 customer's in the cafe all looking at us. There's an elderly couple who's smiling, Three middle schooler's looking at us enviously. Yeah, it's not really as fun. Ok maybe it is fun, but cleaning isn't. Then there's this this couple in their twenties or something with coffees in the'r hands, openly giving us a thumbs up.

Well at least no one's mad and it was entertaining even Heather was amused.

But regardless the attention causes us all to become flustered and red even when we're laughing our asses off. 

I haven't laughed like that in a while, can't really remember the last time. Huh.

We all follow  Heather to the supply closet, when Ezra asks me, or maybe it's a question directed to anyone who'd answer it and i just happen to be it.

''What just happened?'' His voice is quiet, still a little surprised and disbelieving, i swear is he dumb or something, moreover he was just laughing with us too. is he slow?!

Well i suppose this was pretty chaotic, you would need a moment to actually digest.

So i let out another laugh, at his expense this time.

''What happened Ezra, is that Felicity being the clumsy dumb ass that she is, decided to bounce in the booth and shake the table in excitement for chocolate, and in that she knocked the table over. Consequently Morgan flew to the floor, the piping bag flew from my hand, as i was thrown on you, and landed, bursting in the process, on your head and partially on me. And we all screamed.. Thus due to my encouragement Felix decided to take revenge And well you should know the rest. 
Seriously do i need to write you an Essay, of all the events? Did the cream go to your head?''

I pick up a ton of tissues placing them on Ezra's head.'' Try to keep up, would you.''

It takes another moment for him to process what i just said, slow poke, and then he's protesting again. '' It wasn't my fault if i was a little baffled, it was chaos and you all were screaming at first, heck even i was screaming in the beginning. Why the hell were we all screaming?!''

I swear if he thinks that much he'll go insane, plus in such situations every one ends up screaming one way or the other.

I pat his shoulder in mock compassion, twice.

''I scream, U scream, We all scream, that's how it goes right?'' I move along, passing him a wink.

Yep. That's how it goes. Hehehehehehehe.

Misty.

This chapter is long over due, and i'd said that i would update early but i took another month this time, and to all those reading, i'm sorry. It's just i'm hardly getting views, none really. And it's slightly discouraging so i had to rev myself Back up. and now i'm gonna write even if many people don't read it. After all i'm writing for my own sake. So self recovery time.

Anyways i know the 'i scream you scream' reference should be made in regards to ice-cream, but i thought cream would work the same, beside it was more fun to me this way. Moreover don't worry about the fight part, siblings do fight like that, i would know, i fight like that with  my brother. ;) Siblings are crazy, those who have em' would understand.

To all those reading, like , comment and vote.

-Peace out!
