The Frosting
Today was a big day. It was Piper’s Birthday. Piper had decided to through a party with her closest friends. Stella, Olivia, Grace and I were all in her basement doing a variety of things. Piper and Stella were tossing a twelve pound ball back and fourth. Olivia and Grace were on the couch talking. I was trying to link my feet in two hoops and swing back and fourth. I also was discussing the difficulty of this task with Piper and Stella. It was all awkward and fun. We all had one thing in common. Our hunger, not just any hunger, our hunger for sweets. Olivia then brings up the cake that her and I made for Piper. It was a vanilla sponge cake with rainbow frosting. Piper looks at me with determination and says “We still have leftover frosting.” This was a moment where everyone looked out the window and smiled. “Yay, frosting.” I say to myself. Stella looks me right in the eye and says “Stepipda to the rescue!” Stepipda is Piper, Stella and I’s ship name. We tip-toe up the stairs to the living room. Piper cracks open the door just a little bit and I hold my breath. I let go when I see no one there. Relief floods through my body. Piper takes the first step out, followed by me then Stella. As I take my step I trip on air, almost fall down the stairs and then regain my balance. That was a close call. We tip-toe into the kitchen with synchronized steps. “Left, Right, Left Right.” Stella whispers. Piper opens the fridge and the cool air touches my body. I look around, spot the icing and grab it, and hand it to Stella. We run back down to the basement, laughing at every step. Then everyone starts eating. Piper and Stella are taking a little at a time, but always going back for more. Olivia and I are taking medium sizes, not to much. Grace is eating a lot, obviously not caring she has already probably gone through half of it. We quickly finish the full thing and Piper runs up stairs and throws it out. We continue doing our own awkward things. Piper is bowling with Stella and I (by bowling I mean that Stella and I are the pins and piper is rolling the ball trying to hit us) and Grace and Olivia are still talking. Piper’s mom then comes down the stairs and says “Did you guys eat the frosting?” and we all look at each other and laugh. The End.
