Tyler and I scurried between the stone tables that marked Beachbreak High’s cafeteria. We were on a direct shot for the kitchen. Neither of us were really sure if we were allowed in there or not, but when you reached a certain stage of hunger, rules no longer applied.

“Here we go,” Tyler said. He twisted the doorknob and grinned. “It’s unlocked. Whoever was on kitchen duty must’ve forgotten.”

I peered into the darkness. “Are you sure we’re allowed inside?”

“Nervous?” Ty asked, cocking an eyebrow. “If you are, you can always wait here. I can just find something and bring it out.”

“I’m not letting you have all the fun,” I said. I pushed past Tyler and entered the kitchen. My chest fluttered with excitement. “This seems extra bad. Like we’re already on detention and we’re breaking the rules. Where do they send you after detention?”

“That’s what makes it fun,” Tyler said, slowly closing the door behind us. Our only light was a row of windows at the far end of the room. Rays of sun fell on the stainless-steel countertops. The only sound was his footsteps. “If we get in trouble, you can blame me.”

“That was the plan.”

Tyler snickered. “Let’s get some food.”

I felt another thrill of excitement as we searched through the kitchen. Maybe it was because I knew I was not supposed to be there. Or maybe it’s because I was doing something I wasn’t supposed to do with Tyler. Or maybe it was because this was our secret, something only him and I would know. Whatever it was, I couldn’t wipe the excited grin from my face.

Tyler opened one cupboard. “Flour, sugar. Could probably find some eggs and milk in the fridge.”

“Planning to bake me cookies?”

“Can’t – forgot my apron.”

“Can I just say that I love the idea of you wearing an apron? You’d make a good housewife.”

“I’d make a GREAT housewife.” Tyler opened another cupboard and pulled out a box of pancake mix. “Not the healthiest of lunches, but…”

“We’d have to do the dishes after.”

“Would we?”

“We can’t leave evidence,” I said.

“Fine.” Tyler winked and shoved the box of pancake mix back in the cupboard. Pretending to be exasperated, he flicked the cupboard door closed—

Only he put too much effort behind it.

The cupboard shut with a loud SLAM.

We froze.

And that’s when we heard it—

Footsteps, coming our way.

Just outside the door.

I turned. Stared at the door in horror as the knob turned. Suddenly, breaking the rules didn’t seem like fun anymore. Just how much trouble were we in now? Would they yell at us? Give us another detention? Suspend us? Expel us?

While I was frozen with a dumb look on my face, Tyler sprung into action. He ran to me, wrapped his arms around my body, and pulled me down to the floor, twisting to cradle my body with his. I landed on top of him and there was a “whoosh” as he let out a breath of air. We were hidden behind the counter.

The door creaked open.

The kitchen lights flickered on.
