Spring Writes Stuff

12. Something Smells "Good"

Their group of friends are all at the Pink Palace in attempt to try and finish all of their requirements for school, even though they technically have 1 more week to finish them all.

Wybie and Eggs are trying to do research for the science exercises given to them earlier this morning, and they're near to finishing everything.

Agatha and Neil are trying to solve some hard ass math problems for all of them at one corner.

Winnie and Kubo have been trying to make eight sonnets all with different themes (hand picked by each person in their group) for their literature class, as it is required.

Since literary works is a piece of cake for the one eyed kid, Kubo decided to leave Winnie to the design of the papers and went to help Norman and Coraline out in designing eight other different art pieces for arts, also with varying themes picked by each of their friends.

They're working this hard for the requirements in an early time, because they have to make room for the birthday surprise for Salma that they have planned for weeks now, and they don't want other things to get in the way when they do it.

Although they started their works at around 3 pm, and it's starting to get late, so Coraline decided to make dinner for them so that they can have a small break before continuing their stuff.

"Cora, are you sure you're okay with prepping the food for the eight of us, alone?" Winnie asked her in concern while typing on Kubo's laptop at the same time.

Coraline nodded her head with a small chuckle, waving her hand as if it's nothing. "I'll be fine Win," Coraline scoffed, as Winnie rolled her eyes at her with a smirk.

"Besides my cooking is not as bad as Wybie's," she snickered playfully, rolling her eyes as she and Winnie laughed.

"I can hear you guys from here, you know!?" Wybie shouted from the other side of the room, making the two girls laugh once again.

"Good luck guys. After I finish dinner, we can all have a short break as we eat," Coraline announced, making the group of friends cheer lightly.

The blue haired girl went to their kitchen and proceeded to quickly get her work done.

"Oh my twitchy witchy girl, I think you are so nice," Coraline sang quietly to herself, as she prepared the table neatly while waiting for the food to cook.

"I give you bowls of porridge, and I give you bowls of ice," she hummed once again as she prepared the pasta on the kitchen counter, slightly swaying her hips from left to right as she got into the rhythm.

"Cream!" She said to herself with a smile, sighing as the smell entered her nose of what she's currently cooking. Oh, her friends are absolutely going to adore this.

Coraline let out a small yelp when she suddenly felt two arms wrap carefully around her, but as soon as she sensed that comforting and familiar aura of his, she smiled sweetly to herself, slightly leaning her weight against him with a smile.

"Mm, something smells good," Wybie whispered softly, gently giving her a kiss on her cheek, as she hummed lightly in response.

"Are you and Eggs finished with your things already?" Coraline asked him silently, setting the spatula down gently on the counter before placing her hands on top of his as they swayed lightly.

Wybie breathed out, slightly nodding his head. "Yeah. Eggs is now currently trying to help Winnie with the sonnets," he replied, softly placing his chin on her shoulder as she smiled.

"Wow, I hope they're doing alright. How 'bout the others?" She asked him again, trying to ignore the light kisses he's giving on her shoulder.

He paused for a short while, hiding his smile against her skin. "Well, everyone's pretty much finishing up their own stuff," he answered softly, getting back to working his alluring magic on her.
