The Cupcake Factory? Man, what a cool and awesome title! I bet the content of the chapter is just as cool and awesome! 129Please respect copyright.PENANAgSoHB0KPk5
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA0tq0WbCxB8
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANANqzJQgqKFW
Er, wait. The highlight (get it? Cause highlighters?) of the Target raid wasn’t the pens. It was some dope…129Please respect copyright.PENANAftXsNEBF4x
Sticky notes!129Please respect copyright.PENANALv4TCRC6yw
Yeah, maybe the pens were cooler.129Please respect copyright.PENANAnbIPBkorlE
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANALoJjf1SDJW
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAK5Af2EfpTP
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?129Please respect copyright.PENANAoPeqxfPNcx
I figured it out. Combining all of the supplies I had, I made…129Please respect copyright.PENANA5FJ7fFYOVm
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… wait129Please respect copyright.PENANAbASv1IxGKt
Uh… let’s try something else129Please respect copyright.PENANA6gmW74x5cn
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! 129Please respect copyright.PENANAefgAGIi9zu
Yeah, no, I’m good at art! It means I can draw circles, squiggly lines, and trees well! Ha!129Please respect copyright.PENANAS8qGSlX5iG
Maybe I should just stick to shapes for now… uh… shapes? Like… a… n octagon! 129Please respect copyright.PENANAK9DRjoorNC
what am i saying octogons arent cool129Please respect copyright.PENANAXxU9fTIntC
Hexagon! 129Please respect copyright.PENANANh5LMfStu7
i literally just tried that it didnt work idiot129Please respect copyright.PENANA9GBUdUkeoV
Trapezoid!129Please respect copyright.PENANAoH9mnEorMi
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.)129Please respect copyright.PENANAHDAgSOX4sm
I know what looks like a Trapezoid!129Please respect copyright.PENANAOI1VewTXVC
Hot take- remember. These characters are children.129Please respect copyright.PENANAgWlCPXyk3j
Cupcakes!129Please respect copyright.PENANAPdm0hh112W
Now, you may be asking: ‘how’129Please respect copyright.PENANAl3JyZ8z8FZ
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)?129Please respect copyright.PENANAJNoypCKcGx
Boom. Trapezoid. Gottem.129Please respect copyright.PENANAriHu29I3pL
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAPuqbOqvqux
All of a sudden, BOOM129Please respect copyright.PENANAbxePzWmyek
“Whatcha doing, Becky?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAQw4mSyVd7G
I looked up. Anna. Looked back down.129Please respect copyright.PENANAWNXY3R5bPB
“Hey! Don’t ignore me!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAJzbStQOaUq
“I’m drawing a cupcake, obviously.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAAKYblkZCya
“You’re drawing a lot, huh?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAGNQG9RDSEf
She said, pointing at the stack of used, crumpled sticky notes sitting on the corner of my desk.129Please respect copyright.PENANAdGr3dFNJKA
“No, those are… other drawings.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA0G0auP8BGS
She began rummaging through them without me saying anything else. 129Please respect copyright.PENANATgxUyVW6t3
“Uh, these are all cupcakes.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAZcFiyDiuRV
So I may have drawn a lot of cupcakes. I don’t know, they were fun to draw.129Please respect copyright.PENANAvMMGf5rDCl
“I was… practicing.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA7Gwk591Shr
“Can you draw me one?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAEAh2OoOJRQ
Draw Anna a cupcake? Why would I do that?129Please respect copyright.PENANAEXv3hO4Xqj
“Uh, sure. What color sticky note do you want?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAOHlrftLTQ7
Eh. It’s just one cupcake. It can’t hurt.129Please respect copyright.PENANAUULd8DT3Wi
“Uh, what colors do you have?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAr2FAoFnesP
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,129Please respect copyright.PENANATbhDe3rB3H
“Red.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAfQmBpOf6kP
Red? Huh?129Please respect copyright.PENANAiPLFXMvtDJ
“Why, is that your favorite color?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAdHRioeuFEQ
“Nope.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAHOEFco1IS7
“Then what- never mind. Okay, what color paper do you want?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAKQCYY7mS8b
“Paper?”129Please respect copyright.PENANACehEBhZT7k
It’s not that hard to understand what I mean by paper.129Please respect copyright.PENANA3N3lmFLXUa
“The thing the cupcake sits in, you know, the paper?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAi6NjJHG4Sm
“Oh! Uh, red?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAADjic4v30Z
Red paper… on a red sticky note? I looked at her, and she had a blank expression. Guess she was serious.129Please respect copyright.PENANA0QlRhsQUmy
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAMmfurxLndB
“What dough flavor do you want?”129Please respect copyright.PENANALabNfxOeNP
I’m sure she’ll say something basic like chocolate.129Please respect copyright.PENANA74vSJMVxhk
“Blood?”129Please respect copyright.PENANA2Dh3LIzFZh
HAHAHA what129Please respect copyright.PENANAmdEhmj5J6P
“I- uh- yo- what? Blood?”129Please respect copyright.PENANA50OrOZkekN
“Yeah!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAdodQD3wF6N
“How am I gonna draw blood?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAPqN84hq8TM
“I dunno, you’re the one drawing cupcakes, shouldn’t it be easy for you?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAV8ELahpppO
“Well, maybe, but I don’t- so, just, like red?”129Please respect copyright.PENANA39rw3K9qV7
“I dunno!”129Please respect copyright.PENANA5IzwT6Vz2n
She left, running away. I saw her run towards Caitlyn. Oh. I wonder what she’s gonna talk to her about?129Please respect copyright.PENANAKZyvyTVHq9
“You’re drawing cupcakes, Becky?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAOqelWJpWNe
No obviously I’m drawing dogs129Please respect copyright.PENANALbvuDfbzBS
“Yeah, why?”129Please respect copyright.PENANABntcLHEPls
“That’s kinda girly.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA3fi1zs6VXY
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAf81LpBWLte
“Shut up! You’re annoying!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAXP0lvtIpYx
“You’re so rude, Becky.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAyz3MJqUvyA
Well, dang it.129Please respect copyright.PENANAY6hVs6hsH9
“Can you draw me a cupcake?”129Please respect copyright.PENANACZJuYHyo9O
“Well, I’ve got a long list of customers-”129Please respect copyright.PENANAwXvn1jVsW9
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAsoIOnNaOVE
“Okay, but can you make mine now?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAkFYngGTB0m
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3aifN5qAI
“Uh, no, other people need theirs now? That’s the fair thing?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAuOm6VPhbf8
“Well, I want mine now?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAmsuA7IySGS
“Well, I don’t want to make yours?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ3aH4pEdm
“That’s mean. Uh, can I have it chocolate?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAuawrO5e5mj
“No, you can’t.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAmpnUNKluIP
“With green frosting?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAYHbDfLlotb
“I already said no.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAE5Obgh66ys
“And some… sprinkles?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAuRQcMY0PSR
“Did you even hear me?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAuWu8bAVd2z
“Okay?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAhCrK9TSD8n
“No, not okay- I’m not gonna make it for you!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAEjRUmdnUZ7
She looked at me without saying anything.129Please respect copyright.PENANAW8DAWWwcd0
“I’m not gonna- no!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAHiqlai55at
I was emphasizing every word I said, hoping she would hear me better. She didn’t budge.129Please respect copyright.PENANAEGJ38nLAin
“I- okay, fine.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA39us49foGz
I drew a tiny cupcake in the bottom left corner of a sticky note and then held it up for Caitlyn to take.129Please respect copyright.PENANAp3Jhavcc0Y
“You’re real funny, Becky.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA7f7Y2RdzZJ
Ugh- never mind. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA9BO3aURpCQ
“Thanks.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAwbVw1CLzfy
“So can I have a real cupcake?”129Please respect copyright.PENANANpUUIwK6Ob
“I can’t make real cupcakes.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAelMEpcaptG
I mean, I can, but I’m not going to for Caitlyn.129Please respect copyright.PENANAccJFqrURit
“I mean one out of paper.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAgNUTOEb8U1
“Oh. Uh, maybe if you… stop annoying me and leave me alone for… 20 years, I’ll make one for you.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAAz2Hg91SBF
“That sounds boring… so can you make me my cupcake?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAFKScXJ3Xqv
She’s sounding like Anna now.129Please respect copyright.PENANAuXrn3JWLw1
“Becky, have you made my cupcake yet?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAHZDGbqhixr
Oh. Yeah, there she is.129Please respect copyright.PENANAnHF4T48DTF
“No, Anna, I haven’t. Caitlyn keeps on annoying me.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAL80eDyLgA5
“I’m not annoying you!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAei15qbDzXU
That’s annoying. So, yes, you are annoying me.129Please respect copyright.PENANASSVhZClk85
“Becky, make my cupcake!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAEr6icG3ghX
“Becky, make my cupcake!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAhA7V25fpZo
“Fine! If you both leave, I’ll make both of your cupcakes, or something, I don’t know, just leave!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAYzd3h3AF0X
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAsOSAacX3C3
One full of gruesome gore and the other… well, the other’s just a normal cupcake. Disgusting. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAtmGA7Y25hy
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…129Please respect copyright.PENANAIOGsWenaCw
I drew the second cupcake.129Please respect copyright.PENANApzla7CYdjX
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAaEtFwz2JkE
Wow. That’s a really basic cupcake.129Please respect copyright.PENANAYjEDzzvEVl
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA2iSVBIXlxa
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAWmOCiROnaO
“Is that mine?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAgMVeXHlsDN
“No, Caitlyn, this one’s yours.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAxC7dB7WASg
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9EIp6wrdP
“Wow, Becky.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAIYkdRPDO3l
“It’s great, right?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAFXgQmwcMck
“No, it’s so dumb.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAFsHPVVL3Sx
“YOU LITERALLY ASKED ME TO-”129Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1lgMfAzG7
I struck my gaze straight towards her and started screaming before remembering that the teacher doesn’t really like that.129Please respect copyright.PENANAqSfVuwQkUn
“You literally asked me to make it for you.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAyOPiJr1ysj
“Well, I was expecting it to look better.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAtDUCJyjlHV
“I- shut up!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAoMJttpigJG
“Shut up about what?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAXu4astbS42
Anna also approached. She had a hopeful look on her face.129Please respect copyright.PENANAjga23UmgBB
“Nothing. Do you… want yours?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ4y8Aje1H
I felt around for the bloody mess, grabbed it, crumpling it (maybe) by accident. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2AR5bSFal
“Sure, Becky.”129Please respect copyright.PENANA1cPZdLdTSv
I’m doing something nice for you, and you still call me that?129Please respect copyright.PENANAsviNrxa94W
“Here.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAzUfe9RgStt
I shoved it into her hands.129Please respect copyright.PENANAmOyPMQ1ZSr
She looked at it for a second, then rose her hand to her face.129Please respect copyright.PENANA85SM5QNrKL
“ANNA NO-”129Please respect copyright.PENANAWdVl5on4bA
“OH MY GOD STOP!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAot5GzYHNPP
She… put it in her mouth.129Please respect copyright.PENANAQhp0P79iBM
Does she know how much ink I drew that with? That’s disgusting! She could literally get sick from that!129Please respect copyright.PENANAXnRXs1uyKq
“It doesn’t taste good.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAJftBn0dZ7v
“NO REALLY, IT’S MADE OF PAPER!”129Please respect copyright.PENANA6yGQWMQgfB
“ANNA WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAUDKBGdqxZw
“ARE YOU STUPID?”129Please respect copyright.PENANAWiX4dcvyHh
Caitlyn and I were throwing insults before I heard a huge ‘smacking my hands against the table to gather attention’ sound.129Please respect copyright.PENANAFuFsWEu1ik
We all looked towards the teacher’s desk. She was staring at us, and instead of screaming, just went: ‘SHHH!’129Please respect copyright.PENANAcE4ON5tuyo
“Sorry.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAAMTIypsMsF
Caitlyn and I both said it together. We looked back at Anna who was smiling and had paper stuck in her teeth.129Please respect copyright.PENANAw0U7PZZEnX
“You’re crazy, Anna.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAglTrLHeOUS
“At least she didn’t get us in trouble, Becky.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAEpyRVcT9db
“SHUT UP THAT WAS-”129Please respect copyright.PENANA5tCPcR5T0I
I caught myself again.129Please respect copyright.PENANAcXnFO1dJUD
“that was your fault,”129Please respect copyright.PENANAeVFIin8dtx
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAWotApEmqC5
“Gross!”129Please respect copyright.PENANAprneYekSwN
Caitlyn and I both said the same thing again.129Please respect copyright.PENANAxn7TgaGiYd
Anna giggled.129Please respect copyright.PENANAnGlHxZK7MP
Ugh. Gross.129Please respect copyright.PENANAHKfSP7a5uJ
