His Little Cupcake

Chapter 4:

My mom told me she wasn't coming home until late. She also told me not to try any new recipes until she was home. I scoffed to myself in my empty home. She always treated me like a child, yet I secretly knew that she only said that because she didn't want to miss out on the good food. That was my mother for you.

I did all my homework for the day and decided then to call Olivia. I wanted to check if she was okay. It wouldn't surprise me that the family issues still continued. There was always something that either her mom or dad did that would upset her. And when Olivia got upset... well let's just say you can't miss it. It was funny because she was a red head. Red head were usually fiery and were feisty when they wanted to be. Don't upset them.

Ringing on the phone kept going on repeatedly and eventually it went to her voice mail.

'Hi, you've reached my voice mail. Either I don't wan,t to talk to you or... something happened to my phone....Bye!'

I redialed her number and constantly it went straight to voice mail. Why wasn't she picking up her phone, she always picked up when I called. I haven't seen her or Jasmine all day. Thinking of Jasmine, I dialed her number and to my relief she picked up on the second ring.

"Why hello my friend!" Jasmine yelled cheerily into the phone. I laughed, used to her over-happy moods.

"Hey! I was just wondering if Olivia was with you. I kept trying to call her, but she won't pick up." I said concerned and I heard her gasp.

"Well, I didn't see her all day. I was caught up doing some project for English class. Sorry I couldn't make it to lunch." Jasmine apologized, while my eyes widened. She wasn't with Olivia?

"The last time I saw her was before third period..." I sighed, wondering why I didn't follow Olivia. Of course at the time, I really had no reason to.

"Well, then come over and we will figure this out ourselves!" She said determinedly. I was about object, and she knew it too. Which was why she hung up. I sighed and almost went to pull my hair out. I knew if I wasn't over her house in the next ten minutes, she'd skin me alive.

Checking myself in the mirror, I was off to her house where the devil happened to live.

Seth.

When the big white home came in sight, I almost jumped for joy. I haven't been here in a while, because of the devil's spawn that lives inside that house and got lost a couple times on my way here. Some buildings or 'landmarks' got more familiar and now here I was!

I would rather burn twenty batches of cookies than be here.

Knocking on the red wooden door, I quickly calmed my nerves and waited for someone to answer the door. I knocked and knocked again and no one answered. I listened closely and thought I heard the sound of loud music coming from somewhere in the house. I sighed and tried opening the door. Locked. Oh my gosh, kill me now.

I was pretty sure Jasmine and her family kept a spare key around here somewhere. After digging my hands through every flower pot in sight; I was on the last pot when my fingers brushed against a cool metal. Instantly, I lunged for it and almost squealed. Key word being almost.

"Now, I just hope this is the house key." I breathed in before inserting the key into the lock, and smiled in relief when I heard the lock click.

Opening the door, the music became a lot more clearer. It was coming from upstairs... Before going up though, I searched downstairs for Jasmine. Not one girl in sight.

I ran up the stairs and went straight to a pink door. It was the only one that was pink, so it had to be hers. I shoved the door open and found no one. Her bathroom was empty too. I swiveled around and went to the door that had music blasting from it. I knocked and didn't get an answer. Is everyone deaf?

I didn't bother to knock a second time and barged in. There on the bed was a half naked Seth, tossing a football up the air, nodding to the music. I made myself noticeable and glared at him. When he saw me, his eyes widened.

Jumping off the bed, I couldn't peal my eyes away from his chest. Luckily, he didn't notice though. All he could do was smirk.

"So you decided to be my maid after all, Sugar Plum?" Seth grinned and moved towards me. I glared at him with all my strength and stayed in the door way.

"Never in a million years." I snarled and continued, "Where is your freaking sister?"

Seth huffed and held up his hands in surrender, "I have no idea... Oh wait. Yes I do. She told me that she was going out since you were taking too long and said to stay here. She'll be back in..." Seth glanced at an alarm clock that was covered mostly by clothes on the ground. He pushed the clothes out of the way while I scrunched up my face in disgust, seeing a slice of molded pizza next to the clock. "Roughly, 45 minutes?"

"I don't have time for this. I know your parents aren't home and I won't stay here to get harrassed by you." I turned around and went down the hall to Jasmine's room. I heard Seth 'awe' from behind me and didn't notice him following me.

"Hey, just to let you know, a couple of my friends will be here soon. Probably in about 5 minutes, so don't freak when you see them." I glanced back to see his face and Seth shot me a wink before laughing and walking back to his room.

"Why me?" I groaned and thought of an idea. I wasn't going to be Seth's cook, but the only thing that will keep me from being bored will be cooking something. My mom said I couldn't make anything at the house, but she never said anything about making it here. I laughed in my head and searched the kitchen for a recipe book. At home, I had a couple recipe books memorized and when I found one here, it was new for me. I almost licked my lips at the sight of one.

In the middle of taking some cheesy Mexican rice out of the oven, when I heard three stomach growls from right behind me. I screamed, almost dropped my dish on the ground and let out a breath of air when I caught it in time.

I slowly swirled around, with a snarl on my face. Seeing three guys, one of them being Seth, I yelled, "What the hell?"

I took my time assessing the guys in front of me, ignoring Seth and stopped on one of them. He was the one from the library... Suddenly hand came out in front of my face. I looked up and saw the other guy smiling at me. "Hi, I'm Lucas. Sorry for scaring you." His eyes held an unknown emotion in them, and I tilted my head trying to figure him out.

"I'm Hannah. Nice to meet you," Though, I really wish that I was left alone right now... I tried to hard to keep a smile on my face. I didn't shake his hand because I still had the Mexican dish in my hands. "I can't exactly greet you properly with this in my hands."

He blushed a little, as if just seeing it. "Is that what smells so good? You're a great cook C-" He stopped himself from saying anything else. He pointed to the boy beside him, who seemed like he was watching my every move. I guess he was the quiet one.

"This is Blake. Excuse his manners." I smiled and as soon as I looked away I saw Lucas nudge Blake in the gut. I bit my lip to let out a snort of laughter.

"Well, If you don't mind..." My face went blank and I knew the only person that could read me was Seth. "I would like to be alone."

Seth was crossing his arms when I looked at him and he was glaring at the other two with suspicion in his eyes. As soon as he heard me, he looked at me for a little longer before shoving the guys out of the room. "Come on, you heard her." Seth snapped, while Lucas gave me a small wave. What was Seth's deal?
