Burnt by Neglect, Ate With Sorrow

“Everything’s going great!”, I said to Janae as we celebrated our friend’s 21st birthday. Samantha did so much for us this past year, so we decided to throw her a grand celebration. All of our friends came and we was having a good ol’ time. “Nothing could possibly go wrong!”, Janae said. Then out of nowhere, believe it or not, we see smoke coming from the kitchen. I looked at Janae and she looked at me. “OH MY GOODNESS!” I yelled out as we rushed to the kitchen. There, in the oven, what was supposed to the magnum opus of the party, was now a burnt chocolate cake, over baked with regret and neglect.


“I TOLD YOU TO WATCH THE CAKE!”, I screamed. “HEIFER HOW COULD WATCH THE CAKE AND TALK TO YOU AT THE SAME TIME?”, Janae yelled. “Girl if a buck could breakdance like a brick..” I said as I grit my teeth. “Kelsey you can’t put this on me dawg, now you knew about the cake to.” Janae said as she walked over to the oven. “UGH…now what…we ain’t got no cake, no mo’ money, and no back ups.”, I said.

“Well…I have an idea.” Janae said. She looked over at the icing. “No…”,I said “You wouldn’t.” “Kelsey…we outta time, but we sure ain’t outta options.”


Janae said. We served the cake along with the ice cream we had and we saw the faces of sadness and rage “AYO WHO DA F*** BURNT THE GOT D*** CAKE?” one of our friends said as he threw the cake down. As we where sweating bullets, we see a catering company pull up to the party. “Sorry we were late.”, he said unloading all the food from his truck. Janae and I looked at each other with confusion. “Did you?”, I asked. “I thought you..” Janae said. “I did it.”, Samantha said walking up to both of us “ I knew you knuckleheads were gonna mess up the cake so I ordered a catering service in advance. It was funny as heck seeing y’all serve that burnt a** cake though.” She laughed and walked to the catering guy. Janae and I both just looked at each other and laughed. “Well…that’s one way to save a party.”, I said
