The Cupcake Factory? Man, what a cool and awesome title! I bet the content of the chapter is just as cool and awesome! 139Please respect copyright.PENANA3tsqaIXjPo
No. It isn’t. I’m gonna be frank (My name’s frank now), this is a dumb chapter. It isn’t my least favorite chapter, just wait for that one. I hate this one because, uh, because it sucks.139Please respect copyright.PENANAewctfuzYXx
At the start of the year, the school provided packages of school supplies for some discount. My mom, of course, didn’t buy them. Instead, we drove to Target and bought practically everything in the school supply section. We wasted a ton of money. Eh, it was cool, I got some nice-looking pens from that.139Please respect copyright.PENANAgtZoYJgO9p
Er, wait. The highlight (get it? Cause highlighters?) of the Target raid wasn’t the pens. It was some dope…139Please respect copyright.PENANAUzFbg4uQ9t
Sticky notes!139Please respect copyright.PENANAQU9MznSLKb
Yeah, maybe the pens were cooler.139Please respect copyright.PENANAFGk42K3kOa
Okay, back to present day. I brought the sticky notes to school (didn’t wanna make my mom sad) in my backpack, but left them in there. Hey, speaking of the backpack, it’s getting kind of old. I’ve had it for a couple of years now, and sure, I really liked it, but now it’s starting to feel kind of small. Maybe that’s just because it’s completely stuffed with paper right now.139Please respect copyright.PENANAmDpoSEh36o
I opened it up out of boredom at some point. That’s when I saw that there were different colored sticky notes. I didn’t even notice they were different colors. That’s right, no more of that boring, faded yellow color. Now we’ve got neon colors. See how the sticky notes were cooler than the pens now? No? I’ll speed up the introduction, then.139Please respect copyright.PENANAlY3QjyBrYK
Remember the pens? Well, I do. Turns out they were also multi-colored. I even had more than just pens, too. Pencils, scissors, crayons, everything you could think of, I had it all. I had all the supplies needed to… to… what am I gonna do with this stuff now?139Please respect copyright.PENANAiTn8mRA0dC
I figured it out. Combining all of the supplies I had, I made…139Please respect copyright.PENANAHLbRgLOBnE
Random coloring and shapes on the sticky notes. Like, yeah, I just started randomly drawing whatever I wanted to. See, I’m artistic! All that practice from chapter 4 is all coming together now! I can even draw a hot dog that looks like… 3 inflated circles… wait139Please respect copyright.PENANAuR9xjjE2gk
Uh… let’s try something else139Please respect copyright.PENANA40PDz242H8
Food, huh? That’s what’s coming to mind? Hmm… food… Ice cream? Nope, it just looks like semicircles. Pasta? Twisted lines. Broccoli? A tree. Maybe I’m not that artistic… NO! I AM! 139Please respect copyright.PENANAwo3Gjj9N1S
Yeah, no, I’m good at art! It means I can draw circles, squiggly lines, and trees well! Ha!139Please respect copyright.PENANAVCzXYISMz2
Maybe I should just stick to shapes for now… uh… shapes? Like… a… n octagon! 139Please respect copyright.PENANAENfdmlLoO3
what am i saying octogons arent cool139Please respect copyright.PENANAt9JkllWEfT
Hexagon! 139Please respect copyright.PENANAJaGtay4gib
i literally just tried that it didnt work idiot139Please respect copyright.PENANA4IrA5Uc0Gv
Trapezoid!139Please respect copyright.PENANAr7uTQuDJhg
thats even less cool who are you trying to fool- wait. What foods look like trapezoids? (I know this is coming out of nowhere, but I’m at a loss at this point. I need to think of something to draw, after all.)139Please respect copyright.PENANA8iyrLSKDoT
I know what looks like a Trapezoid!139Please respect copyright.PENANAN2tO4hh8XM
Hot take- remember. These characters are children.139Please respect copyright.PENANACln2t8HP2w
Cupcakes!139Please respect copyright.PENANAYjrPihnyuR
Now, you may be asking: ‘how’139Please respect copyright.PENANAL3A45l7U63
See, you know the paper that holds the cupcakes in place? You do? Okay, what shape does it look like (from a horizontal point of view)?139Please respect copyright.PENANAsHaJmkuKox
Boom. Trapezoid. Gottem.139Please respect copyright.PENANA7U5e9r7xfG
So I started drawing cupcakes, and I gotta say, it was pretty easy (trapezoid, curved line, more curved line, cherry on top, done). Pretty proud of myself. I just kept drawing more and more of them. Bigger ones, too. So large they took up the entire sticky note. Guess they were… Sticky note-sized cupcakes? Yeah? I thought it was witty.139Please respect copyright.PENANAoHLvGFROuV
All of a sudden, BOOM139Please respect copyright.PENANAwI5AfLwm4T
“Whatcha doing, Becky?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAbV2rwml6gX
I looked up. Anna. Looked back down.139Please respect copyright.PENANAeqY42prG9H
“Hey! Don’t ignore me!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAku3N1iyZzr
“I’m drawing a cupcake, obviously.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAJNjt39RSwe
“You’re drawing a lot, huh?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA2mmUD7q2Os
She said, pointing at the stack of used, crumpled sticky notes sitting on the corner of my desk.139Please respect copyright.PENANARQdZvcgBik
“No, those are… other drawings.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAU3hwnie1a2
She began rummaging through them without me saying anything else. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAJLVq2gzgqk
“Uh, these are all cupcakes.”139Please respect copyright.PENANABlIeuzSw5O
So I may have drawn a lot of cupcakes. I don’t know, they were fun to draw.139Please respect copyright.PENANAdoCuVeuQ90
“I was… practicing.”139Please respect copyright.PENANA3fj6ud2gSZ
“Can you draw me one?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAonS5HgpMOp
Draw Anna a cupcake? Why would I do that?139Please respect copyright.PENANATtVSDWrFax
“Uh, sure. What color sticky note do you want?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAc9CUNOu1GE
Eh. It’s just one cupcake. It can’t hurt.139Please respect copyright.PENANAw0yjU6qJfj
“Uh, what colors do you have?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAVWFzpgFP0U
I pulled out all of my sticky note colors. The main 6 colors of the rainbow (not indigo), 4 neon colors, some white ones, and the original pale yellow ones. She looked at all of them, and said,139Please respect copyright.PENANApra7VxiqEf
“Red.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAq0tVT5dwH7
Red? Huh?139Please respect copyright.PENANACV4Jggrixr
“Why, is that your favorite color?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAm5fCJMDJzB
“Nope.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAMCRUdZ6Q8H
“Then what- never mind. Okay, what color paper do you want?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAu8DRjtUlsO
“Paper?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAzw22P2X9oI
It’s not that hard to understand what I mean by paper.139Please respect copyright.PENANAQrHXEPjpOF
“The thing the cupcake sits in, you know, the paper?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAHPDsg5pn0V
“Oh! Uh, red?”139Please respect copyright.PENANACDWnZRb7jX
Red paper… on a red sticky note? I looked at her, and she had a blank expression. Guess she was serious.139Please respect copyright.PENANAzJwDPdPlg5
I took my darkest red colored pencil and drew the trapezoid in the bottom half of the paper. I slightly colored it in, and that was one step done.139Please respect copyright.PENANAo1TfcagH42
“What dough flavor do you want?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA1D89JnKqiZ
I’m sure she’ll say something basic like chocolate.139Please respect copyright.PENANAWdUgxUBgQn
“Blood?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA253QTHBz2v
HAHAHA what139Please respect copyright.PENANA8oJVDMWBRX
“I- uh- yo- what? Blood?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA53zAOEfNVX
“Yeah!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAvMj7T9s9dR
“How am I gonna draw blood?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAoPpOaoS75s
“I dunno, you’re the one drawing cupcakes, shouldn’t it be easy for you?”139Please respect copyright.PENANADZrjzAYXNN
“Well, maybe, but I don’t- so, just, like red?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAu4qy4neVBP
“I dunno!”139Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xemu9BqA1
She left, running away. I saw her run towards Caitlyn. Oh. I wonder what she’s gonna talk to her about?139Please respect copyright.PENANAxnW2NIi92Y
“You’re drawing cupcakes, Becky?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAwdcYpJmmJC
No obviously I’m drawing dogs139Please respect copyright.PENANAEPiRZ4UTs1
“Yeah, why?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAHhNgbOfk1y
“That’s kinda girly.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAIvwAAGq7ps
Oh. Hohoho, no, that’s where you’re wrong. Drawing food isn’t a ‘girly’ thing. It’s actually a really intricate and adhesive structural practice that really brings out the emotion in someone’s physical desires.139Please respect copyright.PENANAQWD8tnxbY3
“Shut up! You’re annoying!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAaPuCxyFdyq
“You’re so rude, Becky.”139Please respect copyright.PENANA0Rs7fX8xqg
Well, dang it.139Please respect copyright.PENANAhZGzSWl5qq
“Can you draw me a cupcake?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAh3wafnctwb
“Well, I’ve got a long list of customers-”139Please respect copyright.PENANAE9U8bJQLgD
I wasn’t lying, a couple people did ask me for some cupcake drawings and I wrote each person’s name, the ingredients they wanted, and how much I liked them (for how much I was going to try on the cupcake) on a piece of paper. I showed it to Caitlyn, who pushed it away.139Please respect copyright.PENANA8kQj7zOWQo
“Okay, but can you make mine now?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA7mpEsMXhnz
She took my pen I was using to draw the current cupcake with. I tried to snatch it back from her, missed, and gave up.139Please respect copyright.PENANAkxpzEvyoFI
“Uh, no, other people need theirs now? That’s the fair thing?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA2y8GXAbKwi
“Well, I want mine now?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAzTIFOaUH4f
“Well, I don’t want to make yours?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAHtMYYRUVPW
“That’s mean. Uh, can I have it chocolate?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA0FTZrhuzgx
“No, you can’t.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAljItqntFdt
“With green frosting?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAeyKjXxuhme
“I already said no.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7uzOZ0uNO
“And some… sprinkles?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAJDMvEedFJb
“Did you even hear me?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAsJCNFBPs8V
“Okay?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAwb4ZRYHyzi
“No, not okay- I’m not gonna make it for you!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAfh6WRwcdRo
She looked at me without saying anything.139Please respect copyright.PENANADS0j6sgyT2
“I’m not gonna- no!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAFG6X3haiQL
I was emphasizing every word I said, hoping she would hear me better. She didn’t budge.139Please respect copyright.PENANA1EfARpVzfW
“I- okay, fine.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAu6slzb6Yq1
I drew a tiny cupcake in the bottom left corner of a sticky note and then held it up for Caitlyn to take.139Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4eGTLgSfk
“You’re real funny, Becky.”139Please respect copyright.PENANA8IOU5qaJX9
Ugh- never mind. 139Please respect copyright.PENANA4upHEijNQJ
“Thanks.”139Please respect copyright.PENANA7MVfoYeRYq
“So can I have a real cupcake?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAMe3gzQrGxD
“I can’t make real cupcakes.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAn4oKpA3LqW
I mean, I can, but I’m not going to for Caitlyn.139Please respect copyright.PENANAnWdAGKAHwz
“I mean one out of paper.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAY3WcoOtGSL
“Oh. Uh, maybe if you… stop annoying me and leave me alone for… 20 years, I’ll make one for you.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAVQyvyFzwL0
“That sounds boring… so can you make me my cupcake?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAUxMUE3bvMV
She’s sounding like Anna now.139Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZE5TCPcN8
“Becky, have you made my cupcake yet?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAOUxh2uvTUe
Oh. Yeah, there she is.139Please respect copyright.PENANATOg5BP8jz7
“No, Anna, I haven’t. Caitlyn keeps on annoying me.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAD2SWHE3emd
“I’m not annoying you!”139Please respect copyright.PENANApFq08sZSZZ
That’s annoying. So, yes, you are annoying me.139Please respect copyright.PENANAVlJJHvAx1C
“Becky, make my cupcake!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ajnSCWqE
“Becky, make my cupcake!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAYqMXDwcWFI
“Fine! If you both leave, I’ll make both of your cupcakes, or something, I don’t know, just leave!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAn76Zh4Y95B
They giggled and ran away. School continued, and I made all of the cupcakes I wanted to make. That left 2 cupcakes I didn’t want to make.139Please respect copyright.PENANA7wNm25MKtY
One full of gruesome gore and the other… well, the other’s just a normal cupcake. Disgusting. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAIdCqR34gKW
I took a red sticky note. I took a red pen. I started scraping the pen along the paper, creating a deep, dark, outline of a trapezoid. I was dragging it through the paper so much it almost ripped (but didn’t, I was that good to prevent paper from ripping). I starting ‘drawing’ the rest of the cupcake, continuing with the red pen, and after I finished all of the outlines, I took a dark red permanent marker and colored it in. The sticky note was basically completely covered in red ink, besides the outline which looked black at this point by how thick it was drawn. I finished it off with the… toppings? It was ‘strawberry sauce’. That’s a lie. I just colored over it again with a marker, trying to make it look like the sauce… seeped over… and… uh…139Please respect copyright.PENANA9q59U53OQD
I drew the second cupcake.139Please respect copyright.PENANACZaocAKbvO
Basic sticky note. Drew a chocolate cupcake. Decided to make the pattern on the paper trees (cause… her Element… and yeah?), and drew the green frosting. I chose a kind of dark green color, and actually tried to make it look good. The frosting actually kind of looked nice this time. Maybe it was because of the color. I don’t know. I drew the sprinkles, which was just specks of random colors scattered on top of the frosting, and finished.139Please respect copyright.PENANAbEudNLsJOO
Wow. That’s a really basic cupcake.139Please respect copyright.PENANAI3Qf3ytY89
I mean, after the one right before- if you can call that a cupcake- was pretty intense, so now everything looks extremely basic. Like how when you see someone really cute, and then everyone else looks slightly less attractive- is that rude? I don’t think it’s rude. It might be. I don’t know.139Please respect copyright.PENANA0CdeCbeGA2
We finished up the classwork (or everyone else did, and I finished making my cupcakes) and the teacher gave us free time. I decided to start drawing other random cupcakes before I was approached.139Please respect copyright.PENANAqoyWE7Jijp
“Is that mine?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAVQKjg9BBez
“No, Caitlyn, this one’s yours.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAA71DLUtcJ4
I didn’t even look up at her. I heard her ask the question, and continued drawing the current cupcake. I handed the sticky note to her without even glancing, and I felt it being picked up.139Please respect copyright.PENANAoPzE3GMnra
“Wow, Becky.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAxrxpRfM0IN
“It’s great, right?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA7qkKJZ1gnc
“No, it’s so dumb.”139Please respect copyright.PENANA5BfvunUPo5
“YOU LITERALLY ASKED ME TO-”139Please respect copyright.PENANAbooD30bhX0
I struck my gaze straight towards her and started screaming before remembering that the teacher doesn’t really like that.139Please respect copyright.PENANAxQxizfWPm0
“You literally asked me to make it for you.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAlgOaDYFw5I
“Well, I was expecting it to look better.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAnynT9tt8Dv
“I- shut up!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAo01rsScxZN
“Shut up about what?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAFcFs1aSUxb
Anna also approached. She had a hopeful look on her face.139Please respect copyright.PENANAeJAsjY5VD5
“Nothing. Do you… want yours?”139Please respect copyright.PENANAeae9aua5Uc
I felt around for the bloody mess, grabbed it, crumpling it (maybe) by accident. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAfPP4aRsNDZ
“Sure, Becky.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAWp5pMbUZBL
I’m doing something nice for you, and you still call me that?139Please respect copyright.PENANAlel4VZa7dX
“Here.”139Please respect copyright.PENANA1l13UiVDqB
I shoved it into her hands.139Please respect copyright.PENANAUALU6MJaaU
She looked at it for a second, then rose her hand to her face.139Please respect copyright.PENANAXU3G5ibtWT
“ANNA NO-”139Please respect copyright.PENANAEalMP06Qoo
“OH MY GOD STOP!”139Please respect copyright.PENANAd8wQpd8ASv
She… put it in her mouth.139Please respect copyright.PENANAgYxaNIcuub
Does she know how much ink I drew that with? That’s disgusting! She could literally get sick from that!139Please respect copyright.PENANADnzYqi9e4Y
“It doesn’t taste good.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAGxSXSz398T
“NO REALLY, IT’S MADE OF PAPER!”139Please respect copyright.PENANA9525MSa9gq
“ANNA WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA6DS9T76kBn
“ARE YOU STUPID?”139Please respect copyright.PENANA6GmWCWdemi
Caitlyn and I were throwing insults before I heard a huge ‘smacking my hands against the table to gather attention’ sound.139Please respect copyright.PENANAE8qkLeot1w
We all looked towards the teacher’s desk. She was staring at us, and instead of screaming, just went: ‘SHHH!’139Please respect copyright.PENANADnkHn3lmzH
“Sorry.”139Please respect copyright.PENANApMXcxZgzIn
Caitlyn and I both said it together. We looked back at Anna who was smiling and had paper stuck in her teeth.139Please respect copyright.PENANASIfqyeMc0o
“You’re crazy, Anna.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAXn1tOif9cy
“At least she didn’t get us in trouble, Becky.”139Please respect copyright.PENANAorWcTyNvwC
“SHUT UP THAT WAS-”139Please respect copyright.PENANAKOA9qdvxeE
I caught myself again.139Please respect copyright.PENANAOri1I4z5VV
“that was your fault,”139Please respect copyright.PENANANwnBSc1B9i
I whispered. She stuck out her tongue. So did Anna, who had scraps of paper scattered in her mouth, with red ink seeping from her gums.139Please respect copyright.PENANA0Os4C5cZnM
“Gross!”139Please respect copyright.PENANARRq8elS3iu
Caitlyn and I both said the same thing again.139Please respect copyright.PENANAFamPKs21Ov
Anna giggled.139Please respect copyright.PENANAEnd1tjG7sV
Ugh. Gross.139Please respect copyright.PENANAWfRPwNIimZ
