An evening in the arts building!

by Sebastian T. Vanilla

Ah, the pottery studio. I don't take any pottery classes, but the studio is right next to the kitchen where I have my cooking classes, so I like to stop by here to admire the new and unique art.

The only two people here are Calamity, the hedgehog, and her mate, Malcolm, the rude bunny. In fact, Rude is his last name.

I sense a calamity about to happen, so I should try to stay out of their way.

Further down the hall, I enter the campus's large kitchen. Inside, Chef Guy (rhymes with 'wee') and a few students are making culinary magic. My nose is filled with the scents of apples, strawberries, and fresh cake. Chef Guy is my cooking professor. He's one of the top chefs of the country, and his only vice is his love for eating. ...and his gruff attitude.

As usual, I catch him eating another delicacy.

"Evenings are for students enrolled in extracurricular baking only," he scoffs as I enter.

I would love to be able to get some extra baking in! I absolutely adore spending time cooking. "May I please join your baking class, sir?" I ask.

Chef Guy grunts at me and turns away. "Class is full. There are no more spaces available."

Well, that was disappointing. I pout, but make an exit.

Mmm, those cakes smelled delicious! I wish I were stuffing my face with one right now!
