"What the heck," Daniel says, his face and voice flashing desperation. He folds his arms and try a serious emotions. He close his mouth to a line, his eyes scanning the whole class, craving for the prisoners.
Tommy stands up and approach Daniel. "It's me... I'll help you clean it," Tommy says, take the blame while he doesn't do anything. He turns Daniel giant body and walk with him to the restroom calmly. He doesn't realize he make the whole class stun by his gentleness.
"Bring the cake Zack. Now," Mr. Winston says and smack the table. Waking us up from stunning.
Zack sprints out from the class, as fast as flash. He disappear in a seconds from our sight.
"Why you guys arranging this without telling me ?" Melissa asks, confusion emerging from her face.
"Thought we know ?" Emma raises one of her eyebrows and stare at her. She is like super mad. I don't know why. Pre-menstrual syndrome ? Well it might be.
The class go silence after Emma said that. Mr. Winston sit on his place, playing his phone under the drawer.
"Why it takes so long ? I'm starving," Maddie says, she rise from his place and look at the small windows. "Zack is coming !"
Zack burst in our classroom and almost break the door. The boys start preparing the cake while the girls sitting sweetly on their places.
Yeah we're just watching and eating and it gonna be like this for the whole year.
"Big boss is coming," Morgan yells, her place is the perfect position to see whoever coming to the class.
Mr. Winston start lighting the candle and the boys standing in front of Mr. Winston table, hiding the delicious black-forest cake.
Daniel enters the class, his face is clear as glass while Tommy still giggling.
"We have something for you," Zack says with smirks on his face.
The boys start moving to the left and right and Mr. Winston pace to him, holding cake.
We start singing happy birthday.
His reaction is priceless. His emotion changes from super mad to happy, with his favorite white bright teeth smiles draw on his face.
Both of his hands covering his face and he looks at different direction, he shakes his head.
"Make a wish!" Mr. Winston says joyfully.
Daniel close his eyes and start praying. I know he makes a long wish because it takes five minutes until he open his eyes again and blow the candles.
Hans hands him the transparent plastic knife to cut the cake. The first pieces, the special pieces. The slice that you give to someone special in your life.
"Are you gonna give it to-"
"Shh..." Tommy cut Zack off.
Daniel eyes is scanning the whole classroom. What i can tell after i studying his eyes is, he is nervous. Like, he wants to give it to someone special. Pretty sure it's not me.
"Come on Daniel," Mr. Winston says in boredom. He hates waiting and Daniel has taken 3 minutes just to choose who he gonna give that slice.
Daniel come towards me. His body gesture flashing embarrassment and nervousness. I stay freeze in my place, stuck in confusion and i gawk at him.
He finally put the cake on my table, softly. A slight smiles bloom from his face. He stays there, another students are yelling, "Eat the cake, eat the cake."
I take the first bite of the cake that full of chocolate, let it melt on my mouth before i start chewing it.
"So sweet," Morgan says with her high pitched voices and the other boys start chirping like a bird.
Mr. Winston cut the cake and distribute it to the whole class, which is only 10 students and 11 include him. Not to mention i eat two slices.
"Where's the party big boss ?" Morgan asks, get a nods from the whole class.
"Yeah, it's not fun without any party dude !" Hans yells.
Daniel start thinking hard and the engine inside his brain start working. After a minutes of silence, he finally start moving his lips. "Skye Restaurant on Friday! All must come."
They all yell happily while i'm busy gathering all my things, dump it to my bag waiting for the bell to ring.
I can't really explain what i feel. It's complicated. I don't even feel too happy to get the first slices of Daniel cakes. Like, it's all normal things, nothing special between us.
It might be because, he flirt too many girls.
Mr. Winston car keys land on my table, i quickly grab it and slide it to my pocket.
The bell ring, i'm the first one who get out of class. Sprinting to Mr. Winston a.k.a Charles Mercedes-Benz. I turn on the engine and sit calmly there as i set the air conditioner to my face.
Daniel
What's wrong with you ?
Beverly
No nothing, just a sudden mood swing.
Daniel
Are you sure ?
I ignore his chats and slide my phone to my bag. I fold my arms and run to a deep meaningless thought.
Do i really special to him ?
Does 'cupcakes' means he loves me ?
Do i really mean something for him ?
But, what if this just a game ?
What if he doesn't love me ?
What if...
What if
I sigh as Charles enter the car and start driving. He still look as happy as before. Charles start playing Twenty one pilots song in car, that takes my attention and drag me out from pondering.

At Thursday
"Hey cupcake! You must come tomorrow," Daniel says, he open his lockers and take out some books.
A girl come to him, "Hey Daniel! Can't wait to be at your party tomorrow !"
"I can't wait to dance with you, and your sexy body," The other girl says.
"Can't wait to taste your soft lips baby," A girl says.
I slam my lockers to lock it, slung my bag and disappear, joining with the crowds. Wait no, the fact is, i'm busy elbowing some student because they walk so slow and i need to submit my portfolio for Mr. Winston a.k.a Charles a.k.a My half brother.
I arrive there on time and put it on his table. He is so professional, he never want to combine works and family.
'You're my student inside the classroom and study period and my sister, outside it,' he always says that.
"Morning works out?" He asks and smirks. I nod and take a small bottle that he place on the edge of his table. "Huh, that's mine."
"I need to drink or i'll pass out!" I say trickily and drink all the water.
He shakes his head with smiles on his face, give up on me. "Nice excuse Bev, now go to your classes. I'll be there in 1 minutes."
"You're kidding," I say before i leave the room.
"I can be there in five seconds if i want to," He says easily. I place my straight face and leave his room, straight to the class.
I rest my bag on my bench and sit sluggishly on my place. I rest my head on the table and look at the blue morning sky, which is so beautiful.
I hate you I love you
I hate that i love you
Is this something you called love ?
Can't stop thinking about him
Jealousy come and kick me
But then you're realize, you're nothing to him.
All his friends, beautiful and rich.
I'm just a piece of s**t.
Yeah, piece of s**t.
