Connor x Jake

I had Home Ec. first, and thankfully Jake wasn't in it. Though Talie was. I sat at one of the baking tables. Most people sat in the few desks that are in the front of the room. As Natalie or Talie isn't here yet i took out my camera. I looked through the photos i took over the summer. Most were of me and Kamin goofing around. Some were with our parents. Those were a little more melancholy. Our parents were here for the summer but then they left us for the school year. Christmas and Thanksgiving was spent with our cousins or with Natalie and her parents Mr. and Ms. Frost. I skimmed through those photos until i hit a couple that i wasn't expecting. They were of me on the ice. I was in the middle of a quad toe loop, mid-air. It was a well taken photo. I was confused as who had taken the photo. Only Talie and Kamin knew i skated. No one at school knew. People knew i danced. But no one knew that i skated. I checked the time stamp. It was taken the night after our parents had headed off to wherever they went during the school year. Kamin must have followed me to the rink and taken the photo. Talie was at dance. I practice in the mornings she takes lessons at night. I flip through the next couple of photos. They were me on the ice but they were more amerature photos. Yeah that was definitely Kamin. I feel a tap on my shoulder. I looked up it was Talie. "Hey Talie. Whats up?" she sat down and gave me a look. "What?"
"Your really not going to ask? Also let me see those photos of you on the ice."
"No." she gave me another look. "No." Now it was my turn to give her a look. This one read, 'your in trouble now missy'. "And please tell me how you neglected to tell me that your "friend" that was transferring this year was Jake Oswald?!" I said hitting her in the arm with my hand. "My idol! Well besides Plisetsky." I hit her arm again on 'idol'. She opened her mouth to respond but was saved by the teacher coming in and starting class. We were making muffins today. This was going to be really fun. I turned off the camera and strung it around my neck. I adjusted it so it hung over my hip after putting one arm through the strap.

(Still Connor's POV)

Class was almost half way over and my muffins were just coming out. I had made the perfect batch of blueberry/Lemmon poppy seed muffins. I pulled the tray out and put it on the cooling rack at my station. I looked around the class and watched how the others we doing. Talie, who was next to me at the next table over, was just putting a second batch in the oven. We were supposed to make two dozen. I had put both batches in at the same time so they came out together.

I figured that I should probably start to clean up my table as flour and other baking materials were strewn across it. As I looked at it I realized that it was perfect for taking photos.
