Chapter 9

Project Time

Tavia sat inside her culinary arts class drawing on a piece of line paper. Nancy was talking to Bosco, nonstop, and as usual Raymond Lam was late. Tavia looked at watch, another 2 minutes before he’s late. ‘I hope he’s actually late this time!’ She thought evilly as another minute passed and once again, a figure dashed into the room right on time as the clock hand hit 10. He slumped in his chair and inhaled and exhaled. Tavia watched him as he continued to breath and gathering all his stuff that was nearly pouring out of his book bag and stuffed it back in. She gave him a look of disgust and turned the other way. ‘He is such a mess!’ she thought as Mrs. Hon walked into class.

Tavia stared ahead at Mrs. Hon and listened as she explained stuff.

“You’ve all been in my class for a week and pretty much already know the basics. Now I have a project for you guys to do.”

‘Great…a project. Couldn’t it have been like a free field trip to some awesome bakery and get to eat free stuff?’ Tavia thought as she stared at Mrs. Hon

“The project is quite simple really. Create a recipe for a dessert, it doesn’t matter what kind of dessert, make it and prepare to show me the recipe and the dessert itself. Now the grouping will be within your kitchen. The four people will divide into two teams of two. Simple enough? Okay then get your partners.”

“Nancy you want to be part…”

“Oh…sorry Tavia. I’m going to work with Bosco.” She said dreamily

“But…but…but that means that I have to work with…with…him!” Tavia cried as she pointed at Raymond, who was still slouched in his chair and looking at her.

“I’m sorry Tavia. How about next time? And if you get to know him better, you might actually like him more than you do now.” Nancy pointed out

“Uh…uh…uh…no way! Me like him more? He is…ugh!” Tavia said in disbelief at this “thing” she was stuck to work with.

“So eh partner, what kind of dessert should we make?” Raymond asked

“I don’t know yet! And by the way, don’t talk to me unless it is necessary!” Tavia replied turning her chair so she didn’t have to face him.

“Okay…?”

“Class, I’m going to assume that you know who your partners are already. Just to let you know, you have two months to work on this and this classroom can be used for your preparations. Okay?”

Some muffled answers can be heard as everyone started talking to their partners. Tavia just sat there and started thinking of all the desserts there are…ice cream, cake etc.

“So hello? What are we making?” Raymond asked again

Tavia looked up. “I haven’t decided yet.”

“Don’t I get a say in this?”

“No.” was her simple reply as she continued writing

Ok um this might not sound anything college like but forgive me. I'm not in college and I am not taking any cooking classes. This is pure imagination so forgive me if this is totally inaccurate. Comments please! =]
