There was nothing that screamed fundraiser more than baked goods.

Since Hugo wasn’t going to budge when it came to sharing some of his team’s funding with us so that we could travel to Germany for the fundraiser, we were forced to think of other ideas to get money. A fundraiser came to mind, and we figured baking a bunch of cookies, brownies, and other pastries was a good idea.

Baking ingredients were cheap, and we could make a lot of things to sell. Plus, there was a perfect spot in the middle of campus where a lot of students passed through, so we would have a lot of foot traffic coming by to see her booth. There was no better pick-me-up after a long day of classes than a sweet treat.

So far, things were going fairly well. Our sweets were a hit, and I noticed some people texting their friends to hurry over and buy some before we sold out. At this point, we had another hour or two of selling before we were out of everything and met the goal that we had for today. It was still a good way away from how much we needed to earn in total, but it was still a start. And that was something.

“Support the women’s hockey team for our trip to Germany! We’ve got every tooth-rotting sweet you can think of!” Lily exclaimed to everyone walking by our booth.

I shared an amused smile with Suzette as we stood behind the booth, preparing to bag up sweets for whoever bought any. It was a beautiful day with sun and a breeze, and I was feeling pretty optimistic. Maybe we could really do this without the guys’ help.

They obviously weren’t that keen on assisting us anyway.

When two guys who screamed fraternity pledges strode up to our booth, they grinned at me in a manner that made my skin crawl.

“So, is there a waiting list to get in your pants or is it just who you’re feeling for the night?” one of the guys asked me, leaning in close and flashing me a sleazy grin.

My eyes shot wide open as I stared at them in pure bewilderment and shock.

“Excuse me?” I spat out. “You want to run that by me again?”

“You two can fuck off. No cookies for you,” Soroya snapped as she stormed up to them, scaring them off. She turned and gave me an apologetic look. “What the hell was that about?”

“I have no clue,” I replied, but a feeling of unease churned in my stomach. I glanced around, noting that a few people were looking my way and laughing to themselves.

What the hell was going on?

“Something is up,” I muttered as I turned to my teammates.

“I’ll see if I can find out,” Annie told me before walking over to one of the people giggling behind their phone.

From a distance, I watched her speak to them, forcing them to show her whatever was on their screen. Her face tightened, eyes wide, as she stared at the girl’s phone for a few more seconds.
