The Cupcake Factory? Man, what a cool and awesome title! I bet the content of the chapter is just as cool and awesome! 128Please respect copyright.PENANApwLnKDETRd
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANA48XVs8HmdV
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANANbmAtZH8EA
Er, wait. The highlight (get it? Cause highlighters?) of the Target raid wasn’t the pens. It was some dope…128Please respect copyright.PENANAfoCMpa5e3G
Sticky notes!128Please respect copyright.PENANABTjL2YXrAI
Yeah, maybe the pens were cooler.128Please respect copyright.PENANA510Efe58Hw
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAx5Sr1a0IpK
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAxPE1W2X6PP
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?128Please respect copyright.PENANAvN1pJ1ux7W
I figured it out. Combining all of the supplies I had, I made…128Please respect copyright.PENANApNbKkL5CJA
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… wait128Please respect copyright.PENANAY0x8wtCljh
Uh… let’s try something else128Please respect copyright.PENANAAFZwgJloKE
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! 128Please respect copyright.PENANA5hf5TLW5nb
Yeah, no, I’m good at art! It means I can draw circles, squiggly lines, and trees well! Ha!128Please respect copyright.PENANAinqJS9I9oX
Maybe I should just stick to shapes for now… uh… shapes? Like… a… n octagon! 128Please respect copyright.PENANAPZnzDuZ2vI
what am i saying octogons arent cool128Please respect copyright.PENANAKaVtgvZkrH
Hexagon! 128Please respect copyright.PENANArQIfFs0m7q
i literally just tried that it didnt work idiot128Please respect copyright.PENANAqwJceW1giw
Trapezoid!128Please respect copyright.PENANA66zaoK0IFh
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.)128Please respect copyright.PENANANYs2bwUevm
I know what looks like a Trapezoid!128Please respect copyright.PENANA7wGowNjOgS
Hot take- remember. These characters are children.128Please respect copyright.PENANA6vZReaso2v
Cupcakes!128Please respect copyright.PENANAVDp5LxGHrz
Now, you may be asking: ‘how’128Please respect copyright.PENANA5TDEmq1Dg3
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)?128Please respect copyright.PENANAG7kHdas3i9
Boom. Trapezoid. Gottem.128Please respect copyright.PENANAC1I1ARWDnk
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAZzR5SyP86V
All of a sudden, BOOM128Please respect copyright.PENANAd4qQdxx5u2
“Whatcha doing, Becky?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA3kTGAStadj
I looked up. Anna. Looked back down.128Please respect copyright.PENANAljkdu0TIt1
“Hey! Don’t ignore me!”128Please respect copyright.PENANA6SKq4gnFkT
“I’m drawing a cupcake, obviously.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAXSyvhgIjzP
“You’re drawing a lot, huh?”128Please respect copyright.PENANACWZUlfcr7m
She said, pointing at the stack of used, crumpled sticky notes sitting on the corner of my desk.128Please respect copyright.PENANAPepzYScYPe
“No, those are… other drawings.”128Please respect copyright.PENANANU837mVTDM
She began rummaging through them without me saying anything else. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAN72iiVxbo9
“Uh, these are all cupcakes.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA2QGOAqK0ms
So I may have drawn a lot of cupcakes. I don’t know, they were fun to draw.128Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZZcoXowl0
“I was… practicing.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA6atBplz8bM
“Can you draw me one?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAbvOng7KOY1
Draw Anna a cupcake? Why would I do that?128Please respect copyright.PENANA8bczDKeVhV
“Uh, sure. What color sticky note do you want?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAGgaFOFZH3w
Eh. It’s just one cupcake. It can’t hurt.128Please respect copyright.PENANAhxJkB5it74
“Uh, what colors do you have?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAxxlnUZo8X1
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,128Please respect copyright.PENANAhCpY0TvQOa
“Red.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAuzRmOpaIBS
Red? Huh?128Please respect copyright.PENANAPs3EnvY4sa
“Why, is that your favorite color?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAL4i1EF15Vn
“Nope.”128Please respect copyright.PENANApxxHgWAvuY
“Then what- never mind. Okay, what color paper do you want?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA2uQOotzonX
“Paper?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAxigbwhKtUD
It’s not that hard to understand what I mean by paper.128Please respect copyright.PENANAlEVaXGD54X
“The thing the cupcake sits in, you know, the paper?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAKYCZ1ejdYx
“Oh! Uh, red?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA6eL8h2zMsj
Red paper… on a red sticky note? I looked at her, and she had a blank expression. Guess she was serious.128Please respect copyright.PENANABZ3W9HZfQX
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAchSOYYlL3K
“What dough flavor do you want?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAMm5EMGxnVT
I’m sure she’ll say something basic like chocolate.128Please respect copyright.PENANAtjHzXCx8xv
“Blood?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAgjuPePQE0t
HAHAHA what128Please respect copyright.PENANAMCbwCCmfmk
“I- uh- yo- what? Blood?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAHdO4o7LmDn
“Yeah!”128Please respect copyright.PENANA2aXa5Js7tG
“How am I gonna draw blood?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ68d54c7v
“I dunno, you’re the one drawing cupcakes, shouldn’t it be easy for you?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAelTBA0V7It
“Well, maybe, but I don’t- so, just, like red?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAYlZbJ0CqYE
“I dunno!”128Please respect copyright.PENANADycLsM3FI5
She left, running away. I saw her run towards Caitlyn. Oh. I wonder what she’s gonna talk to her about?128Please respect copyright.PENANAp0gtq5fFG4
“You’re drawing cupcakes, Becky?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAX3OVVAHGhJ
No obviously I’m drawing dogs128Please respect copyright.PENANARlyrE90sID
“Yeah, why?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA7BgsH9kmMC
“That’s kinda girly.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAkP9Yp4HNnX
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAUg9FSGuX3i
“Shut up! You’re annoying!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAtuXxlEsLyK
“You’re so rude, Becky.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAZNIKJh6vMD
Well, dang it.128Please respect copyright.PENANAXOuh5HhlEs
“Can you draw me a cupcake?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAJlm6rUQ9gD
“Well, I’ve got a long list of customers-”128Please respect copyright.PENANAHqE3MtB1Tm
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANABDUf18W9hs
“Okay, but can you make mine now?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAsyGyB3tu5Z
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7grBdSqOf
“Uh, no, other people need theirs now? That’s the fair thing?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAAtvPsQoWPr
“Well, I want mine now?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAEg4D0dbIYM
“Well, I don’t want to make yours?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA9L8EXr7cJv
“That’s mean. Uh, can I have it chocolate?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA3AdBrP0Ejo
“No, you can’t.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAu5ZXNI11fa
“With green frosting?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAIDZeJZy0OO
“I already said no.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA0f1smQsGmm
“And some… sprinkles?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAJXyKoljmTN
“Did you even hear me?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA6GC50XgcDS
“Okay?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAjLbGwTLJu7
“No, not okay- I’m not gonna make it for you!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAHRf8FNwyce
She looked at me without saying anything.128Please respect copyright.PENANAig9pkbDuni
“I’m not gonna- no!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAhZDyuvV8Sk
I was emphasizing every word I said, hoping she would hear me better. She didn’t budge.128Please respect copyright.PENANAkASXiORhz9
“I- okay, fine.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAVboznVF19H
I drew a tiny cupcake in the bottom left corner of a sticky note and then held it up for Caitlyn to take.128Please respect copyright.PENANAGR6aaHFF30
“You’re real funny, Becky.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAVmD0rbjPlx
Ugh- never mind. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAe9MK4twvCq
“Thanks.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAuDi2xjvkVs
“So can I have a real cupcake?”128Please respect copyright.PENANATiPuCcEXgb
“I can’t make real cupcakes.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA6laVso3tiT
I mean, I can, but I’m not going to for Caitlyn.128Please respect copyright.PENANA9HzD6VtNUb
“I mean one out of paper.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAehGouaVbEo
“Oh. Uh, maybe if you… stop annoying me and leave me alone for… 20 years, I’ll make one for you.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAAMzRtb17HB
“That sounds boring… so can you make me my cupcake?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA5KHoBTJiAQ
She’s sounding like Anna now.128Please respect copyright.PENANAdUFwiLXl2n
“Becky, have you made my cupcake yet?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAhL1jzsSmbK
Oh. Yeah, there she is.128Please respect copyright.PENANAb5wiUbIjxp
“No, Anna, I haven’t. Caitlyn keeps on annoying me.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAKuHd8Rr79e
“I’m not annoying you!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAXWP8AlexdL
That’s annoying. So, yes, you are annoying me.128Please respect copyright.PENANAYvcFq2yCmK
“Becky, make my cupcake!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAFsXAGkTwit
“Becky, make my cupcake!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAg0dt1zR15k
“Fine! If you both leave, I’ll make both of your cupcakes, or something, I don’t know, just leave!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAMuKzCdfWAZ
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAmzOmiI5iG5
One full of gruesome gore and the other… well, the other’s just a normal cupcake. Disgusting. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAJSmIuvXBge
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…128Please respect copyright.PENANA4kj5E8he5u
I drew the second cupcake.128Please respect copyright.PENANAzKoIrwqdID
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAiRhDcwfQdi
Wow. That’s a really basic cupcake.128Please respect copyright.PENANAoByKr0fdbw
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAMSgCr0EgzT
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAQQLmwKOrfR
“Is that mine?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAbyAP3yVBob
“No, Caitlyn, this one’s yours.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA1DlIV1Mzox
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAWHvSM9P9aA
“Wow, Becky.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAMsbN7eKom9
“It’s great, right?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA2q6FpcD3uZ
“No, it’s so dumb.”128Please respect copyright.PENANANyXTNQdvFl
“YOU LITERALLY ASKED ME TO-”128Please respect copyright.PENANAwB7tYgOW4O
I struck my gaze straight towards her and started screaming before remembering that the teacher doesn’t really like that.128Please respect copyright.PENANAvQrbNSwSuS
“You literally asked me to make it for you.”128Please respect copyright.PENANARD2aQgaeiD
“Well, I was expecting it to look better.”128Please respect copyright.PENANA671Uwqt8ra
“I- shut up!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAtxmYnU4oLM
“Shut up about what?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAAf3nrHsM9e
Anna also approached. She had a hopeful look on her face.128Please respect copyright.PENANAWu5bFMBYY8
“Nothing. Do you… want yours?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAWltIZvpT0G
I felt around for the bloody mess, grabbed it, crumpling it (maybe) by accident. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAEsRn5XaPcy
“Sure, Becky.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAU1VbtjEr8X
I’m doing something nice for you, and you still call me that?128Please respect copyright.PENANAqCpz2zJOhI
“Here.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAE5mLYL5oAg
I shoved it into her hands.128Please respect copyright.PENANAmKKJAEkx3g
She looked at it for a second, then rose her hand to her face.128Please respect copyright.PENANAsRDmYe6b28
“ANNA NO-”128Please respect copyright.PENANABSPsS4vpNZ
“OH MY GOD STOP!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAF9vgcLcUgh
She… put it in her mouth.128Please respect copyright.PENANAqlaRcDxCen
Does she know how much ink I drew that with? That’s disgusting! She could literally get sick from that!128Please respect copyright.PENANAJEVmqHVjdU
“It doesn’t taste good.”128Please respect copyright.PENANALhHcJqK7nd
“NO REALLY, IT’S MADE OF PAPER!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAxBlRTSh0mK
“ANNA WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?”128Please respect copyright.PENANAEFQvyoWhTK
“ARE YOU STUPID?”128Please respect copyright.PENANALRrgfKkJs7
Caitlyn and I were throwing insults before I heard a huge ‘smacking my hands against the table to gather attention’ sound.128Please respect copyright.PENANA0xqokSF9rN
We all looked towards the teacher’s desk. She was staring at us, and instead of screaming, just went: ‘SHHH!’128Please respect copyright.PENANAkWtgaf6AJD
“Sorry.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAMNOlJ6IWGd
Caitlyn and I both said it together. We looked back at Anna who was smiling and had paper stuck in her teeth.128Please respect copyright.PENANANB6gAdXuu5
“You’re crazy, Anna.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAj28wyqqcAt
“At least she didn’t get us in trouble, Becky.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAnhXzOt6pxT
“SHUT UP THAT WAS-”128Please respect copyright.PENANAu5gWduHOwW
I caught myself again.128Please respect copyright.PENANAgNuaNMN08w
“that was your fault,”128Please respect copyright.PENANALw19bp8n9B
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAPcS6HSW2zz
“Gross!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAAHjSTSwOJw
Caitlyn and I both said the same thing again.128Please respect copyright.PENANAmLvmmFLKIR
Anna giggled.128Please respect copyright.PENANABtvupQJMeH
Ugh. Gross.128Please respect copyright.PENANAtltYicVdFz
