I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I quickly got up, took and shower and changed. I grabbed my phone and back. I walked out of my room as I noticed I had missed some calls or FaceTime with a number I don't recognize. I tap the little camera beside the number.

Connecting.

Connecting..

Connecting...

Connecting..

Connecting.

Finally I could hear a voice. I saw a little black cat. He looked familiar, the I noticed it was Mio. Mio picked up, I couldn't help but giggle. But where's Garu? Suddenly I hear voices. "Ching, I can't just call Pucca and tell her I miss her..... especially after what happened yesterday.."

"What happened yesterday?"

"I found a note...and well...."

It grew silent. "oh...damn..."

"Yeah..."

I finally decided to speak, "hello?"

"What was that?"

"Helloo~?" Silence lingered for a while, suddenly I can see Garu's face. "P-PUCCA!?"

"Hi~!" Ching walked up beside Garu. "Hi Pucca!"

"Hey how are you guys?"

"I've been doing well! Me and Abyo.... Um..."

"Are dating, they're dating." Garu finished her sentence. "W-WAIT YOU KNEW!?" Garu nods. I begin to giggle. "That's amazing!"

"How have you been Pucca? We all miss you!"

"I've been doing amazing! I have so many friends! They are all so nice!!"

That was a lie. Pucca had no friends, she was harassed and cursed at, sometimes even physically harmed. "That's amazing! I knew you would make friend easily you are a sweetheart! Everyone loves you."

I nervously giggle, "Y-Yeah! I'm a lovable young girl! Haha...." The bell rings making me jump. "I-I have to go....um...err....BYE!!!"

and with that I hung up.

I run to class and sit beside Hiraku. He looks at me and frowns. What did I do now...?

"I thought you weren't going to make it." I looked up at him. "why?"

"You're a minute late. At least you're here now." I guess it's safe to say that Hirakuand I became friends.

As we sit and sensei begins talking about what we will be cooking today I begin to get excited when he says we aren't cooking, "instead of cooking......WE SHALL BAKE!!!!!!!" I began talking to Hikaru about what to make. We both agreed in yuébing, or mooncakes if you will. "I'll grab the main ingredients while you grab the ingredients for the filling. Alright?" Hikaru nods.

The buzzard sounds and we all rush off. I grab all the ingredients I can remember: flour, vegetable oil, plain flour, golden syrup, castor sugar, water, fresh lemon juice and alkaline water. I head back and begin preparing the dough, as Hikaru gets back he prepares the filling.

•time skip• (I'm not gonna do the same as last chapter).

We walk out of class. Hikaru is silent...and I'm too blame...

---

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!? PUCCA!?"

"Y-yes...?"

"WHAT DID YOU FUCKING DO TODAY!?"

"I-I....um....I'm sorry...,"

"Disgrace of a child. You will never be a cook at this rate. You are failing my class!"

"I'm sorry Sensei! I'm trying! I really am!"

Hikaru stays silent beside me. "Well. You aren't trying enough. You are done!!"

"W-what...?"

"*Sigh* look Pucca if you want to work you need to achieve and pass my class. If you don't then your cooking will just taste like shit for the rest of your life. Honestly your food is something only a man with no taste buds can love."

"..."

"Now, leave! Everyone dismissed!!"

---

"H-Hikaru...I'm-"

"Hey look it's Puke-a!" I turn around.

"What do you want Lydia?"

"Oh nothing. Here I made you some treats."

"H-huh...?"

"What? Take them." I cautiously grab the back of treats, I open them up and see little cookies and moonpies. "Um...thanks Lydia, that's very sweet of you! I'll make sure to enjoy them!" She looked away, "Y-You better...anyways! Tell me how they taste ok?" I nod. Weird.

I turn back around to see Hikaru ahead of me, I run as fast as I can to catch up, didn't take long considering I have shorter legs than he does. I look into the bag of goodies and plop one I to my mouth. The sweet taste of the cookie brings back memories of Garu's cooking- STOP! you came here for a reason! To forget about Garu! Well not really, but to stop the feeling! But I can't it's so hard!

"Hey Puke-a" here we go again. I turn around, "hello Cheng."

"What's that? Did Lydia make those?" I look down at the bag. "Yeah, why...?"

"Haha, someone has a crush!"

"What? Lydia isn't gay. She has a boyfriend!"

"So? It's called cheating! You nasty bitch."

"Hey... don't call me that!"

"What are you gonna do? Cry? Scream? Punch us? You see no one will believe you like every other day." Cheng gets close. He grabs my bag throwing them onto the floor. He then proceedes to grab my hair, picking me up somehow and throwing me against the lockers. I wince in pain. My head hurts and my back feels broken. He steps on the back of treats crushing the cookies and anything else in there, he picks them up and pours them into my head. My hair now covered with cookie crumbs and candy shards sticking I'm my hair

He laughs, "oh! And when you call your uncles tell your uncle HOE I said hello.", His two friends laugh.

"My uncle isn't a Hoe!"

"Ah right! He's a fucking player!"

"NO HE ISN'T!!" Cheng walks up me and crouches infront. He grabs my face with one hand making me look at him, he smirks. "How many ladies has your uncle been with? How many ladies hearts has he shattered? Over 10. He's a fucking player you dumb bitch." Tears sting my eyes. He hasn't been with them all at once it was during his whole life. And if he was a player he would have said something....right? RIGHT!? Suddenly everything goes dark and the last thing I feel is the cold floor against my hot skin...
