Being at school on a Saturday morning is not my forte. Mahogany and I lean on each other for support because we're both tired out of our minds.

Me: Where the hell are they?

She shrugs tiredly before sighing. When I left this morning Kihyun was already gone, so him not being here makes zero sense. Soon enough two cars pulls in the parking lot revealing the boy in question.

He and Hyungwon step out smiling like the world is wonderful while Changkyun and Violet step out of his. They all look at us before frowning.

Mahogany: What took so long?
Kihyun: We went to grab breakfast.
Me: Why didn't you tell us? We've been waiting for like a hour.
Kihyun: I told Changkyun to do it.

The boys shrugs.

Changkyun: Must've slipped my mind, sorry.

Sorry my ass.

I calm myself down.

The sooner I bake these brownie things the sooner I can go home and sleep the day away. Mahogany starts right away on her homemade lemon cake. Neither one of us say anything as we begin to mix our ingredients. Hyungwon walks over to me with an apologetic smile.

Hyungwon: I should've text you and told you, I'm sorry.
Me: It's okay.
Hyungwon: Need help with anything?

I smile a little before nodding.

Me: Can you dump some more mix into a different bowl?

He nods. Kihyun begins to make the cookie dough for sugar cookies while Violet and Changkyun makes muffins.

Violet: Guys this is such a great idea.

I don't know what it is but every time she talks I want to take a tire iron to her head.

Jealous?

Of what?

Her and Changkyun.

I scoff, as if.

The sound of the oven beeping is like music to my ears! It's ready for the brownies. Mahogany is done with her batter as well and slides her cake into the oven.

Kihyun: Mahogany can you taste this?

She accepts, but imagine her surprise when he sticks his finger in her mouth. He pulls it out with a slight smirk as her eyes widen.

Kihyun: Is the dough good?

She nods silently.

Me: Save that kinky shit for the bedroom!

She sends a glare my way while I smile innocently.

I thought baking and going home would be simple, then I realized we're baking for a bake sale. Two trays of brownies will not cut it, so here we are two hours later.

Mahogany and I toss a paper ball back and forth. We're like the breakfast club but lamer. Violet takes her first batch of muffins out the oven, clapping happily.

Violet: Everyone taste one!

She passes us all one, I won't lie they actually look pretty good.

Changkyun: These are delicious.
Violet: Really?

Hyungwon nods. Everyone begins to praise her but my eyes widen, what the fuck is going on? I begin to cough as my tonsils swell, I practically feel my throat tightening as it closes.

I start to smack Kihyun's arm and he glares at me. I point to my throat in a panic.

Kihyun: Bri what's wrong?

I can't talk you imbecile!

I continue to point to my throat while practically wheezing.

Mahogany: Violet what's in these muffins?
Violet: They're wildberry. So blueberries and raspberries.

Raspberries? Fuck!
