The Cooking Competition!! By Jumana Dhilla

It was a lovely morning in the camp nightfalls and the five girls named Fiona, Rose, Nicky, Dixie, and Sofia were 5 besties. Their group name was "FRNDS"! Everyone was at the dining area waiting for breakfast to be served! Suddenly, dixie spotted the notice board and got up to check the new notice! It was about a cooking competition and one of the world's famous chefs was going to come to teach. Dixie was so excited and ran towards the table to inform the others! " hey! Check the notice board" said dixie really excited! " what's so great?" asked Fiona "come check the notice board" replied an excited dixie! They all went to check the board and they all were shocked after reading the wonderful news! "omg! I love cooking I am going to definitely take part!" said a really exciting rose! " yeah! This is perfect for Rose" they all replied! Rose went and signed her name in the consent form and it was written that the result of the selected people was on 1st August. 

Later that day, rose got some recipe books from the camp's library and began searching for some summer recipes. Rose kept on practicing with determination until it was the result day. Everyone was called to the dining area and the headmaster came on mick and said" ahem! Good evening everyone! So there are 8 people selected from our camp! You all will be competing with students from other camps! And the selected people are " Ruby, Rebecca, John, Rose, Jason, tom, sally, ally. Congrats to the selected people and the practice will start tomorrow at sharp 11 am!" " rose shouted in excitement " yayy!! I'm selected!!" "yeah yeah calm down," said Sofia softly. The friends headed for their rooms and rose again sat with her recipe books and started practicing and Fiona asked " who all will like some green tea?" " me!" replied Rose, Dixie, Sofia, and Nicky replied. Fiona made some green tea and served everyone. They all gossiped for a while and soon it was bedtime. They all got cozied up in their beds and snored peacefully!

It was the next day, rose got ready and headed for practice meanwhile the 4 went to the lake to hang out for a while, they gossiped and then they decided to play badminton. The 4 divided into 2 teams and the teams were Nicky and Dixie and Fiona and Sofia. They started playing and on the other hand, Rose put on her apron and the famous chef" Mr. Thomas Keller" entered and started the practice. They all had to divide into teams of 2 as it was a team recipe. Everyone teamed up and a girl named ruby came to rose and asked her to team up with her. Btw ruby was the most annoying and laziest girl in camp! Rose wanted to say no but she was left with no option as everyone had teamed up and only both of them were left, so ruby and rose teamed up. The chef said " attention guys! We are going to prepare some cheeseburgers and hotdogs with a latte coffee. So get on roll guys you have 45 minutes! " rose decided to make them with cheddar cheese. She decided to make the latte and burger and told ruby to make the hotdogs. Rose began with her work but ruby was standing there doing nothing.

Rose told ruby " hey! Start working!" "uhh! I will start in 5 minutes " replied a lazy ruby. Rose started with the burger and within 20 minutes her burger was ready! She went to check on ruby and she was still sitting ideally. Rose yelled at her and ruby said" ugh! There are still 15 minutes left!" rose ignored her and went to prepare the latte. She started preparing and within 5 minutes it was done. Rose checked on ruby and she was still sitting. Rose ignored her and started making the hotdogs herself. Luckily she finished before time and kept them on the judging table. The chef tasted and the reply was " ahh! Outstanding! But the hotdogs could use some more mustard!" rose was really angry with ruby but she ignored her and left back to meet her besties. The day's practice was over and rose went back and told her friends everything. " ikr! Ruby is like that only" replied Sofia. Btw we played badminton and dixie and Nicky won! " oh wow great! " replied Rose. Rose continued her practice for some time meanwhile Nicky and dixie went to have some smoothies from the cafeteria, and Sofia and Fiona decided to make some friendship bracelets for all as friendship day was coming!

The day was over and Sofia and Fiona finished their lovely bracelets. " no the cooking one's for rose and the fashion ones for dixie'" said Sofia to Fiona while packing their bracelets. The gifts were packed and it was the day of the competition! Rose was prepared and was very nervous. She went to the dining hall and after an hour or half, the audience came. Dixie, Sofia, Nicky, and Fiona came and took a seat in the front row, they waved at Rose and she waved back. The competition was about to begin and the judges arrived and the topic was to make a smoothie bowl! The time limit was 1 and a half hours! Rose decided to collaborate with mangoes and strawberries! She began cutting the fruits and she then decided to put almonds and resins on top. Rose finished cutting the fruits and she began to prepare her smoothie bowl, meanwhile, the other members were collaborating with berries and nuts and etc! The time passed, and the smoothie bowls were on the judging table. The judges tasted them one by one and noted their scores on their notepad.

Everyone's scores were noted and rose was really nervous, in a minute or half the headmaster came up on stage and announced the winners." ahem! The winner on the 3rd rank is allied Thomas!! Congrats ally! The winner on the 2nd rank is john, David! Congrats John! And the winner of the 1st prize is rose park!! Rose was soo excited and the girls shouted in excitement " yay!!! Rose!!

Actually, I too have a gift!!" said dixie. Dixie gifted them some cute purses and rose shared her price money! And Nicky gave them some cards! They all were really true friends that's why their group name is "friends"!
