Chapter 4

That Monday I walked into school feeling a bit weird. I really didn't want to run into Morelli, but I knew that it would be inevitable because he was in a few of my classes. I just had to try my hardest to stay away from him and hope he left me alone.

Last week had to of been a fluke, no way would it happen again this week. I just had to make sure that I didn't run into him again and everything would be fine. We would go back to not knowing the other existed and life would be good.

Yeah right.

First period was a breeze, Morelli sat at the back near the door whereas I sat more towards the front near the window. He was out of the class long before me so I didn't have to worry about bumping into him.

Its been rumored that they've been assigning the baby project in Health class. You know the one where they give you some stupid doll that cries and you have to feed it and change it. Basically they give it to us in hopes that it will make us more hesitant about having sex. It's their way of feeling like they accomplished something.

It doesn't really work, there were like five pregnant girls in our school last year. Anyway, I guess I'll get this stupid project assigned next period. This was going to be so fun! Not!

I walked into the class and I could feel his eyes on me, I made the mistake of looking up and I flinched away from his hard glare.

"Okay everyone, I'm sure you've all already heard that were doing the baby project this month." Throughout the class groans could be heard as he continued, "I've already picked your partners. No you can't ask for a new one or switch." More groans went up.

"You'll be given a baby that acts like a real baby but wont die if you drop it." He joked. No one laughed.

"It will cry, need to be fed, changed and cared for like a real baby." He went on explaining.

"Wait so when you say changed, you mean this thing is going to go to the bathroom?" Someone asked from the back of the class.

"Exactly, it will excrete whatever liquid you put into it  to stimulate pee, and for poop its like a blue paste." There were a few "ewes" and "That's gross!" but other than that the class remained quite everyone wanting him to tell us who we would be paired with. I just hoped I didn't get stuck Morelli.

"Okay class, when I call your name come up and I'll give you a baby. You'll be required to fill out a mock birth certificate so think of a name for your baby. In addition you will not be allowed to switch your doll for another one. Before I forget, all of your teachers have been informed about this project. Therefore you will be required to have your baby with you at all times. Okay first up, Ms. Freeman and Mr. Johnson."

This went on for a couple of minutes. "Ms. McCohen and Mr. Morelli, come on up." My head shot up and I looked back at him to see him glaring at me before he pushed up form his desk and moved toward the front. I slowly moved after him.

"Congratulations, here's your baby boy." He handed us a diaper bag that had everything we would need and the doll in its carrier. He also handed us a sheet of paper that we needed to fill out before class.

We made our way back to our seats, but before I could sit down Morelli said, "Bring your stuff to the back." I slowly got my stuff and followed after him. As I sat down in the seat next to him I didn't look up, I could hear all my other classmates talking to their partners about the baby project.

"So what do you want to name it?" I finally asked after a few moments of awkward silence. I peered at him from the corner of my eye to see him shrug. I started to fill out the birth certificate paper, when I got to his part I left it blank.
