Two days have passed and the day finally came. Emily woke up early to help her mom with packing the boxes of cookies and brownies into the trunk of the car.
As Emily held the last box, she asked, "Is this all of it?"
Aunt Samantha came out of the house holding a clipboard in her hand. "I just checked and that's the last of it."
"But this last box can't fit in the trunk," Emily pointed out,
"Then carry it with you inside," her mom said, "Now let's go. We don't want to be late."
"Alright, Mom," Emily said as she went inside the car holding the box of cookies, "Also, how much do these cost anyway?"
"Oh, the box of cookies cost around $12 while the box of brownies costs $15," Aunt Samantha replied while getting inside the car in the front right seat.
Emily raised her eyebrow in confusion, "Uh,"
"You'll figure out why when you're older," Aunt Samantha assured her,
Emily's mom went inside the car, stuck the key in, and turning it and the engine started. "Okay, we're all set and ready to go," she said pressing the gas pedal and they are off as they ride towards the school.
About two hours have passed and they arrived at the parking lot near the school. Samantha went out of the car irritated while her phone won't stop vibrating.
'This punk won't stop calling and leaving voicemails. Well, it's not our fault that we didn't know that we ended up in heavy traffic,' she thought to herself. She then pressed a button on her phone and held it up to her ear and said, "Hello?"
"Where in the world are you?" Jonathan asked in the other line, "We just finished prepping the food stand and people are already asking for those cookies and brownies!"
"Cool your jets. We're on our way," Samantha calmly replied, "Where are you located?"
"In your heart," Jonathan said,
Samantha was confused, "Huh?"
"Hotdog. I mean, Nevermind," Jonathan replied, "Go inside the building and you'll see us in the gym."
"Oh, okay," Samantha said before hanging up the call. She then noticed Emily carrying two bags which contain the boxes of cookies and brownies each. "You good with that, Emily?"
"Yeah, I'm good, thanks," Emily replied, "Where to?"
"Jonathan said they're in the gym," Aunt Samantha told her,
"You go on ahead, honey," Emily's mom said as she picked up another pair of bags, "We'll be there as soon as we can,"
