"LUHANNNN! Kuai dian (hurry)!" Lynn whined over the phone, "I'll go to school by myself if you are not ready in five minutes!" she warned and hang up. Lynn has woken up earlier than usual to write greetings to those she will be giving the cookies later on the post it notes so she could attach them to the packaging. Having nothing better to do, Lynn wanted to go to school earlier so that she can gift Xiumin and the guys the cookies she has made with YiXing. At the same time, she has decided to try to be on friendly terms with Chen, who afterall will be and is her seatmate for the semester.

"What's the occasion today that requires my shortie to anticipate school?" Luhan asked, slung his arms over Lynn's shoulder and pulled her nearer to him. "I don't know. Just feel like doing so." Lynn shrugged. "If you don't like accompanying me to school early, I'll ask YiXing then. Anyway YiXing goes to school alone, he would definitely accept my offer."Lynn said as she brushed Luhan's arms away.

"Are you trying to make me jealous?" Luhan eyed her. "I have better things to do okay. On a side note, I rather make Xiumin jealous. He's cuter that way." Lynn spoke honestly. "Am I not cute?" Luhan stopped on his tracks and puffed his cheeks. 

"Yea. Sure. But I'm sorry, the nickname 'baby' has been given to Xiumin and will remain as his." Lynn babbled. "Sigh... You can't compare apples to oranges you know. I'm definitely the apple of your eye!" Luhan winked. 

Lynn mimicked a puking action, "Don't disgust me Han, you know yourself that your face alone is prettier than mine. So I think that 'pretty' still suits you the best!" "It's not that! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" Luhan denied with all his might, shaking his head vigorously. Luhan detests the fact that people "mistakenly" take him as a girl due to his beautiful features and it hits him worse that Lynn is saying it.

"OH! The bus is coming! Wanna run?" Lynn exclaimed. "You're doing it out of habit Lynn. We will still be early if we take the next bus." Luhan uttered. "Well~ You know I don't like waiting..." Lynn sassed. "Won't you like talking to me?" Luhan remarked. "Yea. What we have to talk about?" Lynn asked. "Well, I don't know. What do you and YiXing usually have to talk about?" Luhan wondered. Lynn's eyes lit up, "We talk about anything under the sun." "Hmm... Only if I didn't introduce you to him... You'll still be a emo kid to him and I would be the one you will be talking to about anything under the sun." Luhan thought out loud. "Really? I was an emo kid in YiXing's eyes? Then he's the too serious one!" Lynn asked surprised.

"Anyway Xiumin would introduce him to me if it weren't you." She added, not feeling the hurt Luhan has gotten, straight in a row that moment. Luhan went silent throughout the journey to school and Lynn didn't notice anything amiss since Luhan is that emo kid in her eyes, never knowing what he was thinking about.

"Tsk! Where's YiXing..." Lynn looked around the cafeteria with Amber, Xiumin and Luhan sitting with her drinking their drinks. "Has YiXing got to do with you coming to school early today?" Luhan asked. "Tch!" Lynn shushed him. When all the other guys arrived, Lynn asked them if they had seen YiXing but all they
said was he wasn't with them. Lynn typed YiXing's number and called. The call was disconnected and she received a message.

From: Xing ☆
To: Xin
I've forgotten the cookies so I went back to get them. Tell them to go to class first. I'll try to be on time. :)

Lynn felt guilty for asking YiXing to bring the cookies. She face palmed herself that naive guy. He only knows how to uphold his principles, not knowing which is the priority. Lynn turned to the guys "YiXing will be coming in later. He told us to go to class first." They then went to the lockers and walked to their own classes in smaller groups.

------------------------------

5 more minutes before class starts and YiXing is nowhere to be seen. Lynn anxiously looked at her watch, hoping that time would stop so that YiXing would be able to reach class on time. The first lesson was History and she knows that Ms Neo is very hard on people who are late for her lessons. One more minute and YiXing would be a goner. Lynn thought. It's all my fault. If I had brought the cookies home yesterday, YiXing wouldn't be late. The class door knob clicked as it turned, producing a creaking sound as it opened slowly. Everyone hurriedly returned to their seats, fearful of Ms Neo's appearance. The moment she saw the pair of sneakers step into the classroom, she heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that he has made it on time while everyone made a noise for YiXing had scared them.

"Here! Cookie delivery." YiXing beamed as he dropped a paper bag on Lynn's table, hiding his pants. 
"You ran?" Lynn furrowed her eyebrows, "You don't have to do
that. We can always give it to them tomorrow.". 
"I promised you to bring it. You trusted me with that! I can't break your trust in me!" YiXing went on with his "moral lessons".
"Shhhh. You didn't promise me anything." Lynn hushed. 
"Nope! I promised you to be your "rubbish bin", to keep your secrets, to-" YiXing elaborated. 
"I don't mean it that way! I mean you didn't promise me to bring the cookies! I merely asked you to bring it for me. You didn't promise. Yeap. That's it." Lynn cut him off, ending with a soft tone.
"But still-" YiXing opened his mouth to say something but stopped at the glare Lynn gave, letting out a small chuckle.

Finally, the long awaited lunch break came. Lynn walked to the cafeteria with Amber, holding the paper bag filled with cookies with her. After finishing their meal, Lynn excitedly took out the cookies and gave them out to the group. "Okay guys! Brain food coming up!" Lynn clapped, gaining the attention of the clique.

"Amber!"

Some cookies for you koala! Let's keep our friendship forever and evaaaa~ ^^ 
 

"Yea!" Amber fist bumped her.

"Duizhang..."
