The Cupcake Factory? Man, what a cool and awesome title! I bet the content of the chapter is just as cool and awesome! 123Please respect copyright.PENANAEdnv4JXHgz
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAElZMDYw5Xm
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAYkENI4TADe
Er, wait. The highlight (get it? Cause highlighters?) of the Target raid wasn’t the pens. It was some dope…123Please respect copyright.PENANAJgpBAPfhAb
Sticky notes!123Please respect copyright.PENANA1bWtrUYica
Yeah, maybe the pens were cooler.123Please respect copyright.PENANAtbqzPVYlXU
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAGsuPoIiEUH
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAUqi1AlHt9c
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?123Please respect copyright.PENANAnDdPnsbHon
I figured it out. Combining all of the supplies I had, I made…123Please respect copyright.PENANAKC8XFaHqnU
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… wait123Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1aZ5pOXtd
Uh… let’s try something else123Please respect copyright.PENANAIOBzzNKP1p
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! 123Please respect copyright.PENANAQe0IdcYAAi
Yeah, no, I’m good at art! It means I can draw circles, squiggly lines, and trees well! Ha!123Please respect copyright.PENANAI7i4oUEJZ4
Maybe I should just stick to shapes for now… uh… shapes? Like… a… n octagon! 123Please respect copyright.PENANAV5CNIE78BU
what am i saying octogons arent cool123Please respect copyright.PENANAvk82KCmuGn
Hexagon! 123Please respect copyright.PENANAsFAthZ1BI5
i literally just tried that it didnt work idiot123Please respect copyright.PENANAQpVBsci4RB
Trapezoid!123Please respect copyright.PENANAw4v8Lt7fNC
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.)123Please respect copyright.PENANAtpgobbg5qE
I know what looks like a Trapezoid!123Please respect copyright.PENANAStsiS5CFQC
Hot take- remember. These characters are children.123Please respect copyright.PENANA5uiRU9Gu9V
Cupcakes!123Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ha5uDNz7n
Now, you may be asking: ‘how’123Please respect copyright.PENANA6vNgeSzaUz
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)?123Please respect copyright.PENANAxKvJwNXhG0
Boom. Trapezoid. Gottem.123Please respect copyright.PENANAALzWTNI9RL
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAieIOlytdIz
All of a sudden, BOOM123Please respect copyright.PENANAvUcNvxUTSl
“Whatcha doing, Becky?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAJN6nm0XVp1
I looked up. Anna. Looked back down.123Please respect copyright.PENANA8tAo5aB8cI
“Hey! Don’t ignore me!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAKQZICciBP7
“I’m drawing a cupcake, obviously.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAS8kVF7G6BC
“You’re drawing a lot, huh?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAcyBiX8yCZC
She said, pointing at the stack of used, crumpled sticky notes sitting on the corner of my desk.123Please respect copyright.PENANAvTxB0ue60U
“No, those are… other drawings.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAV2fPy3jcCD
She began rummaging through them without me saying anything else. 123Please respect copyright.PENANAkgNRaBtzFN
“Uh, these are all cupcakes.”123Please respect copyright.PENANADj2Z5MF7cT
So I may have drawn a lot of cupcakes. I don’t know, they were fun to draw.123Please respect copyright.PENANAiM1M71h42V
“I was… practicing.”123Please respect copyright.PENANA6uxCjAVmwb
“Can you draw me one?”123Please respect copyright.PENANADirf0O6is8
Draw Anna a cupcake? Why would I do that?123Please respect copyright.PENANA7rb0cwgAqQ
“Uh, sure. What color sticky note do you want?”123Please respect copyright.PENANA9D6dJcFtYQ
Eh. It’s just one cupcake. It can’t hurt.123Please respect copyright.PENANACIEO7NEn6Q
“Uh, what colors do you have?”123Please respect copyright.PENANA5PUokSjQJm
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,123Please respect copyright.PENANA9gIpcoMv0W
“Red.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAbTeLzBVnC0
Red? Huh?123Please respect copyright.PENANAL0DiuVKH4u
“Why, is that your favorite color?”123Please respect copyright.PENANA3IL0ob9Ith
“Nope.”123Please respect copyright.PENANATMdYATeELM
“Then what- never mind. Okay, what color paper do you want?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAPoO00SmdGL
“Paper?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAgRZhYo57xO
It’s not that hard to understand what I mean by paper.123Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ns3z1uMEH
“The thing the cupcake sits in, you know, the paper?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAtEDa2MC2JC
“Oh! Uh, red?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAbWtFCDPV2i
Red paper… on a red sticky note? I looked at her, and she had a blank expression. Guess she was serious.123Please respect copyright.PENANAkSnWrmxpiQ
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAndfIUuZsOC
“What dough flavor do you want?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAwVng3AwJ45
I’m sure she’ll say something basic like chocolate.123Please respect copyright.PENANAKGpS3EFLDr
“Blood?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAuwMve6UZla
HAHAHA what123Please respect copyright.PENANAnQniedXGi8
“I- uh- yo- what? Blood?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAYhpoG4RZKZ
“Yeah!”123Please respect copyright.PENANA6eRxMAw1W3
“How am I gonna draw blood?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAI89X2SGhD7
“I dunno, you’re the one drawing cupcakes, shouldn’t it be easy for you?”123Please respect copyright.PENANA42ZyrIPfa7
“Well, maybe, but I don’t- so, just, like red?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAM5y7K0zeex
“I dunno!”123Please respect copyright.PENANA6UYtJdcRuj
She left, running away. I saw her run towards Caitlyn. Oh. I wonder what she’s gonna talk to her about?123Please respect copyright.PENANAX8xwOLOMFB
“You’re drawing cupcakes, Becky?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAJkAgHITfkk
No obviously I’m drawing dogs123Please respect copyright.PENANAvi3WdVSM3W
“Yeah, why?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAwq5YPPfuGG
“That’s kinda girly.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAdOJVO93NN4
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kvhskvjwj
“Shut up! You’re annoying!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAY88csCKg5M
“You’re so rude, Becky.”123Please respect copyright.PENANARYG9rgRnoW
Well, dang it.123Please respect copyright.PENANAfk1xAlkffu
“Can you draw me a cupcake?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAunXRd6skeV
“Well, I’ve got a long list of customers-”123Please respect copyright.PENANAjX2Trz4wYK
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAgnckBN2vPz
“Okay, but can you make mine now?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAADjyUem5Kk
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAgm2cfnYqta
“Uh, no, other people need theirs now? That’s the fair thing?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAui0OaElZIJ
“Well, I want mine now?”123Please respect copyright.PENANABj8B8fzmHZ
“Well, I don’t want to make yours?”123Please respect copyright.PENANADmusqcJAQs
“That’s mean. Uh, can I have it chocolate?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAIkNGMXis03
“No, you can’t.”123Please respect copyright.PENANACNgLEcrvOi
“With green frosting?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAKObE48uprC
“I already said no.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAD4tZLTDbFD
“And some… sprinkles?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAhyMXULz9d9
“Did you even hear me?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAiFhMDhRJyZ
“Okay?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAqwSdX4aJi6
“No, not okay- I’m not gonna make it for you!”123Please respect copyright.PENANARma99aQtCG
She looked at me without saying anything.123Please respect copyright.PENANAI6uE9tAIOJ
“I’m not gonna- no!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAWEnbZ6VOjg
I was emphasizing every word I said, hoping she would hear me better. She didn’t budge.123Please respect copyright.PENANAxvh1HGJI9l
“I- okay, fine.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAApm4fqBg2j
I drew a tiny cupcake in the bottom left corner of a sticky note and then held it up for Caitlyn to take.123Please respect copyright.PENANAefRBbvoyRP
“You’re real funny, Becky.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAONUZ4Y2kQW
Ugh- never mind. 123Please respect copyright.PENANAn8Eiqv2c6z
“Thanks.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAxCf0XO0l6T
“So can I have a real cupcake?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAhw9n35iIro
“I can’t make real cupcakes.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAOT69JC3Eik
I mean, I can, but I’m not going to for Caitlyn.123Please respect copyright.PENANAoYng7xG9Ll
“I mean one out of paper.”123Please respect copyright.PENANA0HugXONPix
“Oh. Uh, maybe if you… stop annoying me and leave me alone for… 20 years, I’ll make one for you.”123Please respect copyright.PENANATWsjbTnGMN
“That sounds boring… so can you make me my cupcake?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAD5MmK0A7T1
She’s sounding like Anna now.123Please respect copyright.PENANAvPAWf0d4sQ
“Becky, have you made my cupcake yet?”123Please respect copyright.PENANASoPoBsSO8A
Oh. Yeah, there she is.123Please respect copyright.PENANAsUvpUvGurZ
“No, Anna, I haven’t. Caitlyn keeps on annoying me.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAckOtFsxNBL
“I’m not annoying you!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAI6XEsRcW1S
That’s annoying. So, yes, you are annoying me.123Please respect copyright.PENANAsYHEke1wgw
“Becky, make my cupcake!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAnApvQOZy7D
“Becky, make my cupcake!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAfeMbJsQVFn
“Fine! If you both leave, I’ll make both of your cupcakes, or something, I don’t know, just leave!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAfRS8HkCpaG
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAjRi2mFOivi
One full of gruesome gore and the other… well, the other’s just a normal cupcake. Disgusting. 123Please respect copyright.PENANA6oM4a8LxHq
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…123Please respect copyright.PENANAs7jfBpTCA9
I drew the second cupcake.123Please respect copyright.PENANA0FTHJNAPom
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAa7bAb0Neqw
Wow. That’s a really basic cupcake.123Please respect copyright.PENANAR0QyGEF1K5
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAWkJyz8m10K
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAvp3yaabt5B
“Is that mine?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAkFix7JHrZX
“No, Caitlyn, this one’s yours.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAECHV1yaWG0
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAzcFi1u36GF
“Wow, Becky.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAGuTP8dNAAB
“It’s great, right?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAxCxyvtvBz9
“No, it’s so dumb.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAYqxAfu0QIC
“YOU LITERALLY ASKED ME TO-”123Please respect copyright.PENANA8xgmST6myL
I struck my gaze straight towards her and started screaming before remembering that the teacher doesn’t really like that.123Please respect copyright.PENANA7rpfMsAPY9
“You literally asked me to make it for you.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAeoeAUyCzYp
“Well, I was expecting it to look better.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAKm9wDEiEfu
“I- shut up!”123Please respect copyright.PENANA6fkrGyHmYw
“Shut up about what?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAb414PLO632
Anna also approached. She had a hopeful look on her face.123Please respect copyright.PENANAaz70iophoo
“Nothing. Do you… want yours?”123Please respect copyright.PENANA2UuwCZwaN2
I felt around for the bloody mess, grabbed it, crumpling it (maybe) by accident. 123Please respect copyright.PENANA9f759TWTeA
“Sure, Becky.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAPPIn6iydtR
I’m doing something nice for you, and you still call me that?123Please respect copyright.PENANAc3rUtlXCUf
“Here.”123Please respect copyright.PENANA3l9r90qXI5
I shoved it into her hands.123Please respect copyright.PENANAaB7UFD3lb2
She looked at it for a second, then rose her hand to her face.123Please respect copyright.PENANAygZDrQK5wh
“ANNA NO-”123Please respect copyright.PENANAkpAcy7N1Br
“OH MY GOD STOP!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAAJjsdi2Gqm
She… put it in her mouth.123Please respect copyright.PENANAAB0dTXSSiR
Does she know how much ink I drew that with? That’s disgusting! She could literally get sick from that!123Please respect copyright.PENANAmrRilU4C6b
“It doesn’t taste good.”123Please respect copyright.PENANATD7l8jdse6
“NO REALLY, IT’S MADE OF PAPER!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAFuF0DzEto3
“ANNA WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAaJLEpatbLH
“ARE YOU STUPID?”123Please respect copyright.PENANAqQhCcfyPR0
Caitlyn and I were throwing insults before I heard a huge ‘smacking my hands against the table to gather attention’ sound.123Please respect copyright.PENANAWBuYtZuha0
We all looked towards the teacher’s desk. She was staring at us, and instead of screaming, just went: ‘SHHH!’123Please respect copyright.PENANA7awEOpuwhW
“Sorry.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAVyxuQHy4gg
Caitlyn and I both said it together. We looked back at Anna who was smiling and had paper stuck in her teeth.123Please respect copyright.PENANAnW364cfSVK
“You’re crazy, Anna.”123Please respect copyright.PENANAxWdEwqqG2B
“At least she didn’t get us in trouble, Becky.”123Please respect copyright.PENANA6wCmBUttnS
“SHUT UP THAT WAS-”123Please respect copyright.PENANAmegy4VnyDz
I caught myself again.123Please respect copyright.PENANAt2IN1xRwcs
“that was your fault,”123Please respect copyright.PENANAZku71EWpPI
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.123Please respect copyright.PENANAMtt9233rTU
“Gross!”123Please respect copyright.PENANAXI4GNFZbJV
Caitlyn and I both said the same thing again.123Please respect copyright.PENANAXxviYAi6YP
Anna giggled.123Please respect copyright.PENANAbqwFLweufc
Ugh. Gross.123Please respect copyright.PENANAunXA4TPrd0
