Chapter 1--

*Talia's POV*

"OMG TALIA!" My best friend screamed. I sighed and turned around to see my excited friend pushing through the crowd to get to me, her platinum blonde hair was bouncing around. "Can I help you?" I asked her giggling as she finally got to me panting.

"Did you hear what Mrs. Kershaw is assigning us?" She asked excitedly. "Uhhh... No."

"She's assigning our health class the baby project but she said its different this time."
Yay, I love kids. "I can't wait." I said as we both walked into health class.

Everyone was in the class and seated. Well, almost everyone. There was one person missing and that was Ryder Williams. Of course, he's the typical bad boy. He wouldn't want to come to class early.

Casey and I sat down at our designated seats.

"Josh is so hot today!" I heard a blonde bimbo shriek in her high-pitched voice.

I looked over at Casey giving her the 'Grumpy Cat' face. She laughed so hard that she fell off of her chair.

Bobby strutted his way over to us. He's been openly gay since last year, and he's proud of it.

"Heyyyy bebes!" He said with sass. "Ayooo bobbbbayyyyy!" I practically shouted even though he was right in front of me. Casey was busy talking to Courtney, the shy girl. "So what brings you over here?" I say cocking an eyebrow. "Just wanted to say hi to a fabulous girl." He stated while laughing.

~RIIINNNGGG~

I laughed to myself. The bell rings but nobody goes to their seats.

Mrs. Kershaw was looking at papers as the door flung open and in walked in Ryder. He was wearing black jeans and a red flannel shirt. His flippy hair was partially covered with a black beanie. All the dumb bimbos sighed. Eww.

"That's some fine piece of ass. I'm going to go back to my seat. Bye bebes." Bobby said, blowing kisses as he walked back to his seat. I mentally shaked my head laughing at what he said.

Ryder walked down the aisle towards his desk behind me. He smirked and winked at me when he passed by. I made a loud gagging noise which wiped the smirk right off his face.

"Don't mess with me Winters." He whispered. I didn't respond. I stared straight ahead at the board as Mrs. Kershaw wrote names on the board.

"I'm going to be assigning all of you the baby project, but there is a twist. All of you are going to have a partner of the opposite sex. The foster home is providing model houses for each 'couple' and their child.  The project is going to last for a year. So basically it ends when you all graduate in june. The partners are up on the board. All your classes will be excused since the school wants to try this out to see how you kids do with kids." Mrs. Kershaw said.

I looked over all the names trying to find mine.

Aliyah and Jonathan

Faith and Bobby

Courtney and Blake

Casey and Wesley

Gabby and Trevor

Talia and Ryder

Wait, what?!? I can't be partnered with him.

"Hey babe." Ryder winked at me.

"Just shut up. You better help me with this child."

"Fine." For some reason he was actually listening to me. Weird.

I looked over at Casey to see her banging her head on her desk as Wesley used every corny pick-up line. I feel so bad for her but then again I'm stuck with Ryder.

"I'm going to take 3 groups at a time because I don't have that much room in my car. I'll be taking Ryder and Talia, Wesley, and Casey, and Bobby and Faith." Mrs. Kershaw said while grabbing her keys.

"Let's go!" I said sternly while dragging Ryder out of the class room. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" He said.

At the Foster home

----------------------------------------

We were in the room with all the children. The ages varied from

2-9.

"Pick any child. The foster home will take you to the house's after you pick the child you want to watch. Information will be given to you about the child. Do not abuse or neglect these children. Now I have to go. Hope you do well." She walked went to her car and drove off.

There was so many kids but I wanted one that was 2 or 3. There was a little boy playing with cars. He had light brown hair and blue eyes. He looked to be around 3. I want him.

I turned around to Ryder. "Can we get him please?" I asked quietly.

"Sure."

Strange. I thought he would put up a fight.

I walked over to the little boy and bent down. "Hi I'm Talia. What's your name?" I said smiling at him. He looked up "Andrew." He said quietly, still playing with the cars.

"Do you want to come stay with us for awhile?" I asked pointing at Ryder.

He shook is head yes and stood up with me. I picked him up and walked over to Ryder.

Ryder was staring at his phone angrily but when he looked up his eyes softened.

"Who is this little guy?" He asked.

"Andrew." He said shyly.

"Cool name buddy. My name is Ryder."

Andrew looked up at me. "Can I call you mommy?" I'm shocked. He wants to call me mommy.

"Sure buddy." I said as we walked to the front where everyone had already picked their kid.

Faith and Bobby picked a little girl with curly red hair.

Casey and Wesley picked a little boy with black hair.

"So all of you are done?" The woman at the front asked as she handed us files and credit cards with no limit. "These cards can only be used on the kid stuff or anything for the child."

"Come on now. Lets get to the bus."

----------------------------------------

At the house

----------------------------------------

Everyone was dropped off at their houses.

Andrew was playing on the floor with a teddy bear that came with him. He can barely talk. He can only say some words.

"I'm going out." Ryder stated.

"Seriously? And leave me here alone with Andrew." I said.

"Yes, now I'll be back later."

"Whatever. I really thought you were going to help me."

"Well you were wrong." He said with venom as he walked out the house, slamming the door behind him.

I could feel the tears streaming down my face. I can't believe he left. Andrew started crying because of the loud noise. I grabbed him and held him against my chest rocking him back and forth. He started to calm down.

Finally, he fell asleep. I was so tired I drifted off to sleep holding Andrew.
