   I wish I could tell you that I have a good life. I wish I could tell you I'm  the average 18 year old but I'm not. Im 18, yes. Average, no. I live with my grandma Lue. It is just Lue and I in her 2 bedroom apartment. My mom amd dad died when i was younger. I remember it so well. I remember the screams that night as a drunk driver hit the back of our car and my dad lost control. Thats why I promised Lue to never drink. I survived with minor injuries, but I lost my parents that night.

   "Abbie, sweety its almost time for school!" Lue yelled from the kitchen, snapping me out of my thoughts. Ahh yes, school. It was my freshman year in collage and it was treating me well so far. I put on black skinny jeans and a burgundy  hoodie. I grabbed my vans and my phone and walked out to my car. Well Lue's car that she gave me for my 16th birthday. So basically mine. I put on music and drove to Washington State University.

   "Abbie whats up?" My best friend Luke asked me when I pulled up. He was really hype all the time and party's were his thing.

   "Nothing just waiting to go to class." I responded. He had his camera out because he liked to document everything. He turned it off as the bell rang to go to class. I really dreaded my first block because I had Mrs. Powell. She was a short round lady who hated her job. I think she was hired just to make our lives hell. She teached child care and development and always called on me. This sucked because I had social issues. I hated speaking in front of other people and she knew this. I took my seat as class began.

   "Today you are going back to high school. Most of you have done this if you have taken this class before but you're going to do it again." She said. She always sounded like she had a cold. She went to a back room to grab something. Great. A project. This always meant a project. "This is a robot baby if you do anything to harm or upset this baby you lose 25% of your grade. Im going to partner you up for a week to take care of this baby." She grabed about 10 and started to call names off of a chart. "Bella and Issac." She said. This was going to be fun to watch. Bella was my friend and Issac was a jock who threw partys non stop. "Abigail and Harry." Oh no. I walked to the front of the room and grabbed my new child. She also handed me a diaper bag that had everything we needed for a week.

    "Can we get diffrent partners?" Bella asked as Issac heald the baby upside down. Please let us have new partners, I thought to myself.

   "No. I paired you up according to grades and on how well you do in my class." She said and wiped her nose with a cloth. Great. Harry Styles was my partner in parenting a robot baby. "Okay everyone open your bag. It has a piece of paper, thats your childs birth certificate work with your partner to fill it out." She waddled to her seat and began to grade papers.

   "If you think I'm actually helping on this you're crazy." He said. I rolled my eyes and started filling out the paper. "Rosie? Thats what you want to name her?" He said while he grabbed a pen and marked it out. He wrote something else.

    "Bailey?" I said. I kind of liked it. He looked inside the diper bag and grabbed a passy. I ignored him and continued filling out the paper.
  
   "Take what you have learned in science and make the baby as close to you and your partner as possible." Mrs. Powell said. Since our baby didnt have it's eyes open we had to fill its eye colour out on the form.

    "What colour eyes do you have?" I asked in a smart manner because I was fed up with him shoving the pacifier in and out of the baby dolls mouth. He turned in his chair and looked me straight in the eye.

   "Green love, they are green." He said and winked. My cheeks began to turn a shade pink and I wrote down green for the eyes. This is going to be a long week.
