"Nash Julian Whitler!" I shout from across the bakers cellar.

"Katherine Brynn Ander!" He shouts back at me laughing hysterically as if it's funny. You don't want to mess with me when I'm covered in flour and seeds.

Okay I bet you're wondering how did we end up in the schools bakers cellar. Well here's what happened...

Nash and I head to our first class together of the day. Food tech. Last year, Nash and I were partners for food tech and we are partners again for this year. I honestly don't know how that's going to work out. Especially since Nash and I don't focus when we are together.

I open the door to the kitchen lab on the upper level of school. It reveals our newly renovated kitchen lab. We now have new utensils and benches.

Miss Peppermint is one of my favourite teachers. Her name suits her personality and her style. Miss Peppermint has fiery red hair and big saucer brown eyes. She has this candy red apron that she wears to every class, it's so funny how bubbly a person like her can be.

"Kate!" I snap out of my trance and find Nash handing me a plain black apron.

I smile and nod taking the apron out his hand. We walk to the back bench where Claudia Downes sat. I took the seat next to her and Nash followed taking a seat next to me.

"Hi." I wave to Claudia while putting my hair net and gloves on.

Claudia looks appalled that I'm talking to her, she then takes her time before answering "Hey."

"It's Claudia Downes right?" My lame attempt of making conversation.

Her lame attempt of making conversation "You got that right."

Miss peppermint then walking in with her 70's hair do and clothes. She's like a walking neon show. She sets down her bag and starts to talk "Good Afternoon everyone!" Miss Peppermint walks around the kitchen greeting everyone. "Today we are making something very easy. As some of you are new to my class. We are starting off with making a wedding cake, in groups of three. Your groups of three will be the three people at your work bench. You are given two hours to make this cake, and it is part of your report."

So much for making it an 'easy' task. I honestly don't get this woman.

"Excuse me miss, how many tiers will the cake be?" Nash asks.

Seriously Nash that's a dumb question, even I know the answer. I give him a 'seriously did you really just ask that look'. C'mon I can do the math, three people, three tiers.

"Three tiers." Miss Peppermint answers his question. Obviously I got it right. "Nash and Kate can I get the both of you to go down to the bakers cellar to get the flour for me?"

"Yes m'am." I get up and push my chair in and I grab Nash's arm and drag him out of the kitchen lab.

"What was that for?" Dumbfounded Nash asks.

Didn't he hear what the teacher said. I take him into the closest elevator and press the B button. Leading us to the basement.

The doors open and I slide my converse across the ground making a screeching noise. Nash opens the door to the cellar and steps in.

I wait outside for about two minutes, waiting for Nash to bring out the flour bags. "Nash?" I call out "Are you in there?"

"Yeah I just need help with some of the bags, their too heavy."

I'm about to walk in to help Nash but I'm suddenly hit with large ball of powder. Wait, no its flour.

And I see Nash hold another handful of flour in his hand.

"Nash don't you dare." I take a step back, putting my hands out forward I try to shield myself. I have my black apron to stop myself from getting dirty but that's pretty much it. "Nash stop!"

"Nope too late." he hurls another handful of flour laughing real hard at me.

I dust myself off and glare at him "I'm gonna kill you."

"No you won't."

"How are you so sure."

"Because you love me too much to kill me."

"You got that right." I try rubbing off some flour on him.

"Now come over here and help me get these bags." Nash grabs one of the sacks and throws it over his shoulder. He loosens the neck of the apron revealing his Maroon shirt. And only leaving his apron to his waist.

As I turn around to grab a bag, I feel a rain of flour gush over my head. I'm livid.

"Nash Julian Whitler!" I shout from across the bakers cellar.

"Katherine Brynn Ander!" He shouts back at me laughing hysterically as if it's funny. You don't want to mess with me when I'm covered in flour and seeds from the other ingredients here.

"Now seriously Nash we have to get this upstairs."

You see what I mean by Nash and I can never focus when we are together.

We walk up together in silence thinking of what we could say to our teacher. I don't think Miss P would like the sound of me saying 'Nash threw flour on me causing an epic battle leaving the basement looking like hell' I don't think she would like the sound of that.

Still in silence, Nash and I drag the two large sack bags into the kitchen lab. We both avoid making eye contact with all the shocked eyes around us. I lay the first sack down on the ground and so does Nash. We are about to walk back to our bench but Miss P stops us.

"Miss Anders care to explain why your hair, hands and clothes are covered in flour?" She picks up my arm and drop it back down. She then walks to Nash who is smiling like crazy for no reason, I bet he's holding back his laugh. "And you Mr Whitler, why are only your hands covered in flour. Care to explain?"

We both stand there on the marble ground not saying anything. I can feel the pity from the class burning trough my back.

"It was my-" Nash tries to save me but I come up with something better just in time.

I start to speak and the gullible lies keep coming "I was being clumsy and knocked a shelf with flour down and Nash picked me up that's why his hands are like that."

Miss Peppermint nods and motions us back to our seats.

As we head back we receive glances of appreciation from our other classmates. I don't think they fell for it but Miss Peppermint did.

"Good cover up story." Claudia laughs softly as we slide in our chairs.

"Was it good?" I place my hands over the table gripping the edges.

Nash of course had something to say "Of course it was good, Miss P believed it." Claudia nods at his statement and he keeps talking. You saved my butt out there, I owe you one."

"Yes you do." I agree not so humbly. Oh well.

Miss Peppermint gives us the final details to the assignment and we are only allowed to have a three coloured theme for it. Claudia, Nash and I decide on a very light purple, white and pale pastel pink. We are also assigned one tier to work on each. I honestly don't know what this lady thinks of an easy idea.

If this is the easy idea of hers, what's the hard?. I think to myself.

"Three, two, one. GO!"

We all start rushing grabbing any sign of ingredients we can find. I grab flour, obviously, some eggs and a milk carton. Nash grabs the utensils and Claudia grabs the Trays, pans and icing. We all rush back to our benches in a hurry. I don't know why but I feel like I'm in a cooking competition show, like cake bosses kind of show.

"Okay I'll work on the bottom tier because I can make a supporting base, my Nan taught me how" I inform my team "Claudia do you want to do the middle tier because you're more focused than Nash"

"Hey!" Nash found that offending, how can he be offended by the truth.

Claudia starts fidgeting with the pans and utensils "Okay I'll do the middle" And with that she starts working.

I turn around to find Nash putting chopsticks in his mouth. Pretending to be a walrus.

"Look I'm a walrus!" He points at the chopsticks.

I grab them and toss it on the table "Yeah Nash you're doing the top tier" I kiss him on the cheek before starting my work "It requires the littlest work"

I adjust my brown hair in a neat bun and place my hair net over it again.

We all start working. I grab the Base wood and start to work on it. I cover it with a few layers of fondant before placing icing on it.

Once the base is done for the cake I move over to the sink where Claudia was working and started to make the batter for the cake. Once the eggs are in everything starts to go messy. I dust my gooey hands on my already messy apron. I keep stirring till the batter is somewhat okay. I never said I was good a baking.

The whole atmosphere around us is buzzing and lively with everyone working and communicating with their group.

After a few minutes Nash, Claudia and I are all putting our large trays of batter into the large square oven, that must have cost the school a fortune.

I wait for about an hour sitting and listening to music and Nash constantly disturbing me to share my music with him. I mean if he likes listening to Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, then sure he can listen to my music, not.

"Hey Katey bear are the cakes ready" Nash pulls out my earphones and taps on my shoulder repeatedly.

Gosh my best friend is so annoying "Nash I swear if you don't stop disturbing me, I will climb in your window at night and kick you in your balls"

Okay maybe I was a little hard on him but he dumped a bag of flour on me.

Nash grabs a chair next to me and thinks for a minute. The most peaceful minute I'll ever get with him.

"Why would you climb trough my window just to kick me in the balls when you could do it now?" He asks.

"Don't test me child. I would rather do it when you're half asleep so I can fully wake you up" I smile cunningly at him then turn back to my music.

Ding!

Finally, I'm saved.

I walk to our benches oven and pull out my tray with my almost burnt cake. It's actually perfect in the inside, Miss P checked.

I spread the purple icing with the palette. It's very hard to go round the edges with a cake as big as ours. I look around us and find others with smaller cakes.

The bigger the better.

Once I finish icing the cake I roll the pink fondant over the cake and pat it down. I then take the lining pen and draw pleats on it making it look presentable for a wedding...I hope. Before I know it I'm finally done.

I go over to help the others and surprisingly they are done too. I'm actually shocked to see Nash has done a better job than me.

"Great job Nashy bear!" I pat him on the back.

"Thanks Katey!" He replies.

We all carry our cakes to my base cake to stack them on. The colours go perfectly together. My pale pink, Claudia's light purple and Nash's White with pearls. We stand around our cake looking at our masterpiece. The whole class stops their work to look at our epic cake. We are the first to finish and we finished right under time.

"Magnificent!" Miss Peppermint walks over to our cake with her clipboard tucked against her chest. "Ten out of ten, 1st place. Congrats to yours team" she smiles and walks off to examine the other cakes.

"We did it!" I sigh in happiness.

"Yeah, we make a great team" Nash hugs me tightly even with the apron stains, I guess it's okay because he's wearing his apron too. I fling my arms round his neck. We did it.

Authors note:

Aren't Kate and Nash so cute.
I love their relationship, aw shucks.

Anyways I'd love to hear your opinions on the chapter and my other ones. This was a very long chapter that took a long time and I would really love it if you could share your opinions, vote..etc.

And for anyone confused Miss P is Miss Peppermint just a shorter way for saying it.

Thanks for reading :)
