I gasped in shock and disbelief as I heard who the teacher had paired me with on the project, not believing my ears. She didn't. I looked over at where my new partner sat, Jessica Davis and watched her as she stood up as if in slow motion and smiled at her friends, laughing at something Mike said to her before she flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder and made eye contact with me, smirking as she noticed my opened mouthed look. I broke it off and looked to where Sam sat, she gave me an apologetic look as she stood up and made her way over to her partner, Ashley Prescott, who at this time I really wish I could have gotten instead but am glad that Samantha got to work with her long time crush. Ashley was the nerd if the school while Sam was our star Softball player, Ashley seemed flustered as Sam came to sit with her and at that moment I realized that they totally liked one another but probably thought the other one didn't. That I would have to fix, being the great friend I am.

But back to my own ordeal of course. The teacher just had to pair ME, a 4.0 GPA student with probably one of the dumbest students at this school, I mean come on, Jessica was a walking and talking embodiment of the Dumb Blonde Cheerleader stereotype trope and Ms Burns decided to put me with her to. . . ugh, raise a damn fake baby for a month with. I looked at Josh who was now sitting with his new partner, Matt Pierce who looked way to thrilled to be sitting next to infamous Josh Washington. That boy was much too obvious with his crush on the older boy who I still wonder to this day why he was still in our grade, Josh was a smart cookie, I wonder at times what he could have done to be held back like that. Looking past Jessica who was making her way towards me with a sway of her hips I noticed Chris and Mike holding hands and grinning ear to ear at one another. The two have been dating for about 3 months and honestly looked happy as can be. Even if I can constantly hear Chris in the hallways making Dad jokes to the unamused Mike who just kisses him to shut him up.

"Hey." I looked up and saw Jessica standing in front of me, a glint in her eye as she looked me over, Jessica of course looked beautiful as always, her hair was down and cascading over her shoulders and the short flowery dress she wore showed off her figure quite well even with the crop denim jacket that covered her shoulders and had only elbow length sleeves. She was showing off enough cleavage, I'll tell you that. I huffed and motioned to the chair next to me, she gladly took her seat and sat with her chin in the palm of her hand staring at me. "So, Emily" She purred, "What would you like to call our baby?" I looked down at the bundle that was sat on our desk, it had dirty blonde hair and brown eyes, it looked like a mixture of us really, that was a bit creepy. I tilted my head in thought. "I was thinking Jessily Dayward. You know? Like a mixture of our names?" I looked at her, bewildered.

"How long did that take for you to come up with?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her and leaning away from her.

"Just thought of it actually. What do you think?" She asked, looking at me with wide eyes as if seeking approval. I did actually like the name, it was pretty cute. I nodded and she squealed, pulling me into a hug, "Our child will be amazing!" She turned around towards Josh and Matt who were still deciding on a name, "Guys! Name is Mash Piercington!" The two gave her a strange look and looked down at their own baby, sharing a look and shrugging.

"Yeah. . .alright. Sounds good." Josh said, a grin showing up on his face and giving Jessica a thumbs up. She gave him one back and turned back to our baby.

"I'm going to go get the fabric to make the clothes!" She said, giving me a quick peck on the cheek, "Wifey~" And she ran off giggling, leaving me sitting at our desk with a huge blush covering my entire face and I covered my face, embarrassed and a bit thrilled all at the same time. No one but Sam knew that I had the biggest crush on the dumbass, I loved her even if she did get some things wrong, she was a confident, independent girl who has never been one to start a fight or get in trouble, once in awhile she can get a warning for her sass but she brushes it off and goes back to being a happy go lucky girl who is a innocent and pure even if others see her as a whore or a slut, she may have sex with guys (and Girls) a lot, least I think she does, but that doesn't make her a whore. I sighed and shook my head, knowing that maybe I shouldn't be this way about a girl who I know would never like me like that. Yes, she kissed my cheek but she is known widely for being a flirt who doesn't want anything in return. So I shouldn't think too heavily on the kiss. . .even if my cheek still feels hot from where she kissed it. I sighed a bit dreamily and felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned to see Jessica has returned with all of the sewing supplies and grinned at me.

"So. I really don't want to start giving the baby gender roles automatically since we have no idea what gender the baby would be." I looked down, seeing it was a girl. I was about to open my mouth until I realized what she was talking about and nodded.

"True Jess. That's a great idea. So what kind of clothes should we make? I'm thinking a mixture of both genders since clothes are not gender specified. Males can wear skirts, girls can wear boxers--"

"Exactly!" She seemed so thrilled to be hearing this from me but she cleared her throat, a blush evident across her cheeks, "Sorry. . . it's just. . .Chris, my cousin. . . you know? He's still a bit nervous about the whole transitioning thing, Mike and I have accepted him very well but his parents aren't taking it so well. . . " I nodded, I heard from Josh, Chris' Beat friend, that his parents have been telling him that he is a 'Girl and should start acting like one' and it pissed me off that his parents were like that.

"I understand what he's going through. . ." I really did, a few months back when I admitted to my parents that I was 'Non-binary' they had questioned me about what that even was and when I told them they argued with me fora week until they finally had enough and kicked me out of the house. I now live with Sam in her apartment, she was happy to take me in and I was so thankful for her being so understanding. "I just hope he has the great friends that I had during that time. . ." Jessica nodded, looking curious but not questioning what exactly I was talking about.

She took out a piece of paper and wrote on it quickly, handing it to me with a smile as the bell rang, she pushed all of the supplies into her bookbag, grabbing the baby securely into a make shift blanket and skipped out of the room, leaving me behind with my stuff and I read the paper. It was her number and 'Hey, wanna go out some time? As in, a date?' I grinned and got my phone out, texting out a reply.

'Of fucking course.'
