The Cupcake Factory? Man, what a cool and awesome title! I bet the content of the chapter is just as cool and awesome! 125Please respect copyright.PENANATFQSpwWF1b
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANA96wSJEZclA
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAsICmCTIX43
Er, wait. The highlight (get it? Cause highlighters?) of the Target raid wasn’t the pens. It was some dope…125Please respect copyright.PENANAG5HNxaWCnl
Sticky notes!125Please respect copyright.PENANAkSK06BOP4J
Yeah, maybe the pens were cooler.125Please respect copyright.PENANACcTzC98rgl
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAOWzgUoqA6b
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANA5SDlSCXoxC
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?125Please respect copyright.PENANATEJx507PAX
I figured it out. Combining all of the supplies I had, I made…125Please respect copyright.PENANAZApI0yiVuQ
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… wait125Please respect copyright.PENANAWaKyYH2pf6
Uh… let’s try something else125Please respect copyright.PENANAnveI9752rj
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! 125Please respect copyright.PENANAG0BvHFTryn
Yeah, no, I’m good at art! It means I can draw circles, squiggly lines, and trees well! Ha!125Please respect copyright.PENANAubAmLVUaYn
Maybe I should just stick to shapes for now… uh… shapes? Like… a… n octagon! 125Please respect copyright.PENANAdxfAATVwiq
what am i saying octogons arent cool125Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q8af1yTKg
Hexagon! 125Please respect copyright.PENANAfbGTwnplck
i literally just tried that it didnt work idiot125Please respect copyright.PENANAXojWHMycbt
Trapezoid!125Please respect copyright.PENANAwFNnOXN4Wu
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.)125Please respect copyright.PENANAQOgotWl0yg
I know what looks like a Trapezoid!125Please respect copyright.PENANAe8uODGNLwT
Hot take- remember. These characters are children.125Please respect copyright.PENANAKnWGqPlFtG
Cupcakes!125Please respect copyright.PENANAcsoUVYpY2z
Now, you may be asking: ‘how’125Please respect copyright.PENANA3O83Mq3B2C
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)?125Please respect copyright.PENANA1gtNrMpvk6
Boom. Trapezoid. Gottem.125Please respect copyright.PENANAXPD6pWHx20
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANA2i3jmuWqY1
All of a sudden, BOOM125Please respect copyright.PENANAwfy3FK6V95
“Whatcha doing, Becky?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAS2rf6MfeBg
I looked up. Anna. Looked back down.125Please respect copyright.PENANA10NlqBbHbm
“Hey! Don’t ignore me!”125Please respect copyright.PENANAoLSrarxRVu
“I’m drawing a cupcake, obviously.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAK0Z1KINFgI
“You’re drawing a lot, huh?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAiKextK0xsB
She said, pointing at the stack of used, crumpled sticky notes sitting on the corner of my desk.125Please respect copyright.PENANAY42hNDvahs
“No, those are… other drawings.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAWa88CAmzn2
She began rummaging through them without me saying anything else. 125Please respect copyright.PENANA9jGzh6XGo8
“Uh, these are all cupcakes.”125Please respect copyright.PENANADjaQOIAp13
So I may have drawn a lot of cupcakes. I don’t know, they were fun to draw.125Please respect copyright.PENANAnTkDPWQDgi
“I was… practicing.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAgZgouZc3J5
“Can you draw me one?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAggTxsh8zqk
Draw Anna a cupcake? Why would I do that?125Please respect copyright.PENANAEeTWdjH0tQ
“Uh, sure. What color sticky note do you want?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAqFPKBUsGAB
Eh. It’s just one cupcake. It can’t hurt.125Please respect copyright.PENANArnLFMFLl5n
“Uh, what colors do you have?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAYGVskE13c1
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,125Please respect copyright.PENANAewXW4nfeP3
“Red.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAmxVye0DChN
Red? Huh?125Please respect copyright.PENANAPHKgqPTQC5
“Why, is that your favorite color?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAcOyehwk56A
“Nope.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAshixHSvhkJ
“Then what- never mind. Okay, what color paper do you want?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAzjpZShi4ba
“Paper?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAnUy3vfDT2G
It’s not that hard to understand what I mean by paper.125Please respect copyright.PENANA43UJBGVIuo
“The thing the cupcake sits in, you know, the paper?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAK3vFIRtq9i
“Oh! Uh, red?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAjF943s26S1
Red paper… on a red sticky note? I looked at her, and she had a blank expression. Guess she was serious.125Please respect copyright.PENANAqAMVWlk5O2
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAY77xu9fFkQ
“What dough flavor do you want?”125Please respect copyright.PENANA2gXDSo1Lm4
I’m sure she’ll say something basic like chocolate.125Please respect copyright.PENANAUhWJmH0EvR
“Blood?”125Please respect copyright.PENANApZVgTybQYi
HAHAHA what125Please respect copyright.PENANAMO6EXz3fq6
“I- uh- yo- what? Blood?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAqVPLEP918G
“Yeah!”125Please respect copyright.PENANAAayVa2Mq31
“How am I gonna draw blood?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAOb9RjzE9l4
“I dunno, you’re the one drawing cupcakes, shouldn’t it be easy for you?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAGi8dhTUsWb
“Well, maybe, but I don’t- so, just, like red?”125Please respect copyright.PENANABiMjlZCIw1
“I dunno!”125Please respect copyright.PENANAsIhQK2ScQU
She left, running away. I saw her run towards Caitlyn. Oh. I wonder what she’s gonna talk to her about?125Please respect copyright.PENANAuNBrlREkPv
“You’re drawing cupcakes, Becky?”125Please respect copyright.PENANA2WuKONtu9X
No obviously I’m drawing dogs125Please respect copyright.PENANAfZktsa8AaJ
“Yeah, why?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAwEiltrD7HA
“That’s kinda girly.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAp9pdjkjVo5
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAiSahtPuqPi
“Shut up! You’re annoying!”125Please respect copyright.PENANA3bfB7w2BM0
“You’re so rude, Becky.”125Please respect copyright.PENANA3A2uGzjA53
Well, dang it.125Please respect copyright.PENANAlGFmnX6LM0
“Can you draw me a cupcake?”125Please respect copyright.PENANA6QIGKJphhz
“Well, I’ve got a long list of customers-”125Please respect copyright.PENANAgD5qqJqu3J
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANA05aALatQH0
“Okay, but can you make mine now?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAEynBHUePpk
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAMHWIhpisAB
“Uh, no, other people need theirs now? That’s the fair thing?”125Please respect copyright.PENANApdK4sstsEB
“Well, I want mine now?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAFNpqGNwEd4
“Well, I don’t want to make yours?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAEfeOCLlqbz
“That’s mean. Uh, can I have it chocolate?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAWMcTeAkmyC
“No, you can’t.”125Please respect copyright.PENANACVQKaY62JE
“With green frosting?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAMBEu1fMvY9
“I already said no.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAojBzskqy1E
“And some… sprinkles?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAPASiE3YiQV
“Did you even hear me?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAMSL0kkI5EW
“Okay?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAJFAaKkQvTc
“No, not okay- I’m not gonna make it for you!”125Please respect copyright.PENANAQyUaXbCby3
She looked at me without saying anything.125Please respect copyright.PENANAAeWMvUt5Rl
“I’m not gonna- no!”125Please respect copyright.PENANALPs8nzVbiq
I was emphasizing every word I said, hoping she would hear me better. She didn’t budge.125Please respect copyright.PENANA6UyLEh72v8
“I- okay, fine.”125Please respect copyright.PENANASjAoeqpZlV
I drew a tiny cupcake in the bottom left corner of a sticky note and then held it up for Caitlyn to take.125Please respect copyright.PENANAiL9nemPeW8
“You’re real funny, Becky.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAbcfjkqQgYv
Ugh- never mind. 125Please respect copyright.PENANAWzcz05WgRB
“Thanks.”125Please respect copyright.PENANA2l2YMoq3nQ
“So can I have a real cupcake?”125Please respect copyright.PENANA6kofTlfgUW
“I can’t make real cupcakes.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAptHJBB9EBy
I mean, I can, but I’m not going to for Caitlyn.125Please respect copyright.PENANAwsZbVfEmZc
“I mean one out of paper.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAFLHuCoZjPy
“Oh. Uh, maybe if you… stop annoying me and leave me alone for… 20 years, I’ll make one for you.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAxmpJwnmtWN
“That sounds boring… so can you make me my cupcake?”125Please respect copyright.PENANA57o0RSQes8
She’s sounding like Anna now.125Please respect copyright.PENANAUY1xXeucQR
“Becky, have you made my cupcake yet?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAzAvd5FWL7D
Oh. Yeah, there she is.125Please respect copyright.PENANAC3PKF8EsY6
“No, Anna, I haven’t. Caitlyn keeps on annoying me.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAab5aHl4lmE
“I’m not annoying you!”125Please respect copyright.PENANAa4imvkB6qW
That’s annoying. So, yes, you are annoying me.125Please respect copyright.PENANAnszlgYxSRI
“Becky, make my cupcake!”125Please respect copyright.PENANAwKXX7pzlQ5
“Becky, make my cupcake!”125Please respect copyright.PENANA4FRdDWwBos
“Fine! If you both leave, I’ll make both of your cupcakes, or something, I don’t know, just leave!”125Please respect copyright.PENANAcEjX9mcUYf
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAhat6ndLbNM
One full of gruesome gore and the other… well, the other’s just a normal cupcake. Disgusting. 125Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ76gKsnNC
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…125Please respect copyright.PENANAAsVoncOg99
I drew the second cupcake.125Please respect copyright.PENANAk7sqCy0QjT
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAcqZbCaIKtt
Wow. That’s a really basic cupcake.125Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lp3lAQcpl
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAbZmyvnCg0w
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAJbFLDbEjpP
“Is that mine?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAYu2p9nAEN1
“No, Caitlyn, this one’s yours.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAgNdpFt0HdR
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANAFtygL7aFnO
“Wow, Becky.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAkhOyN9FLN1
“It’s great, right?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAKGfxXKb9zd
“No, it’s so dumb.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAjP47DsVcD5
“YOU LITERALLY ASKED ME TO-”125Please respect copyright.PENANAie1Lg0NfZp
I struck my gaze straight towards her and started screaming before remembering that the teacher doesn’t really like that.125Please respect copyright.PENANA2NdWyCtD42
“You literally asked me to make it for you.”125Please respect copyright.PENANA6cg8yJC9WY
“Well, I was expecting it to look better.”125Please respect copyright.PENANA7aad5bghTp
“I- shut up!”125Please respect copyright.PENANATQAR46szRM
“Shut up about what?”125Please respect copyright.PENANApxLKLH5oBO
Anna also approached. She had a hopeful look on her face.125Please respect copyright.PENANAL5yJsEbAYI
“Nothing. Do you… want yours?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAtHru496XQe
I felt around for the bloody mess, grabbed it, crumpling it (maybe) by accident. 125Please respect copyright.PENANAav6r5t1BnR
“Sure, Becky.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAuFji7mjLZo
I’m doing something nice for you, and you still call me that?125Please respect copyright.PENANAGBCoLz7CcH
“Here.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAT8ez8BWxgo
I shoved it into her hands.125Please respect copyright.PENANA6e2dAt7w0O
She looked at it for a second, then rose her hand to her face.125Please respect copyright.PENANAda0K4usb98
“ANNA NO-”125Please respect copyright.PENANA1nn8JdusmD
“OH MY GOD STOP!”125Please respect copyright.PENANADgvXIuUWjB
She… put it in her mouth.125Please respect copyright.PENANAGYENuehAJE
Does she know how much ink I drew that with? That’s disgusting! She could literally get sick from that!125Please respect copyright.PENANAsK4pd2ED4L
“It doesn’t taste good.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAEhMOQSjouw
“NO REALLY, IT’S MADE OF PAPER!”125Please respect copyright.PENANAC5o2C2MHa4
“ANNA WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?”125Please respect copyright.PENANASNOFmBeLIb
“ARE YOU STUPID?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAXXk48HnSis
Caitlyn and I were throwing insults before I heard a huge ‘smacking my hands against the table to gather attention’ sound.125Please respect copyright.PENANASDlLYDSb0J
We all looked towards the teacher’s desk. She was staring at us, and instead of screaming, just went: ‘SHHH!’125Please respect copyright.PENANAf7o04tnzkC
“Sorry.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAwRtsSc5iGY
Caitlyn and I both said it together. We looked back at Anna who was smiling and had paper stuck in her teeth.125Please respect copyright.PENANAHiqA0g5z7M
“You’re crazy, Anna.”125Please respect copyright.PENANA9e4z7JSUu7
“At least she didn’t get us in trouble, Becky.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAruFo8a6SUu
“SHUT UP THAT WAS-”125Please respect copyright.PENANAUa7VYVOy7k
I caught myself again.125Please respect copyright.PENANAdBoSDJMHsc
“that was your fault,”125Please respect copyright.PENANANUugNYP06x
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.125Please respect copyright.PENANASsbjAq18vQ
“Gross!”125Please respect copyright.PENANADNA0apIyTi
Caitlyn and I both said the same thing again.125Please respect copyright.PENANATMvlKyf6bL
Anna giggled.125Please respect copyright.PENANANQ7jLCuvkQ
Ugh. Gross.125Please respect copyright.PENANANQUrhZlTzQ
